Megamind Rules!

After we had god awful squeal Peacock decided to do tv series and looks bad as the movie. We got cringe dialogue, awful budget animation and new characters are annoying and forgettable.

And look how they massacred my boy Megamind is complete idiot in TV series why is so annoying now. As person that likes tv series from cartoons Disney did that better with Aladdin, hercules, Buzz Lightyear star command, little mermaid etc.

This is unnecessary adaption between bad squeal and now forgettable tv series its insult to first Megamind movie. Please don't watch this don't give it time your energy. Your better off just watching someone else the fact they have audacity to say you want to do third movie you ruined such great movie and spit on fans I hope they don't go forward with it.

This show was just weird to sit through at first, like all the humour I found was just from random clips I edited and like two jokes that got a laugh at me, specifically the taxes one in episode 1 and cake in episode 7, the main thing I was just confused by was the fact that they seem to set up a thing with Megamind in the first episode but it never actually goes anywhere aside from a few mentions of it few and far between

Megamind also had his character majorly assassinated with him being an idiot here and weirdly egotistical, it's also just weird that a lot of conflicts are caused because the heroes in this show like they can't do anything remotely competent

While this does retcon stuff from the first movie I will have to view it all as canon till it's confirmed otherwise, I'm hoping for a season 2 tbh just to see how far this downward spiral gets, also so Shaffrillas can lose his mind more.

I have never seen the original Megamind (although I have heard great things about it), but I do not need to to recognize this is a bad show. The animation looks like Paw Patrol. There is no excuse for a show released in 2024 to look like it came out in 2009. The characters are poorly written, I doubt any effort was placed into writing them (even though I've never seen the original movie, I am 100% certain that this was not how Megamind acted in it.) Plots are terrible and execution is the same, nothing interesting is ever accomplished to spice up how bad the premises are. It's hard to believe these are the original writers of a beloved classic. I'm pretty sure the idea of Megamind discovering the internet and trying to become internet famous makes fans cry in agony. The writing is the worst part. The jokes feel AI written, and by and by and AI that has never heard a funny joke in its life. The show beats you down with cringe one liners and 2014 internet jokes with no room to breathe. It is actually shocking the amount of ways the show manages to write something stupid. It is every bad part of every cheap baby show ever wrapped into a gross mass.

I kinda just wrote a review on the movie/weird pilot that comes before this series but I have a few words for this as well. The writing is disgustingly bland and shallow, littered with butchered characterizations of returning personalities, childishly basic one-liners and puns, and extremely awful tropes and cliches. It has extremely stiff animation, which is somewhat expected from a cheaper budget, but given that this is DREAMWORKS, they could have done sooooo much better for this and other tv series. Some of the other reviewers (which might be, in all honesty, bots or paid actors) say that it is enjoyable for kids and adults alike, when the show is obviously written like its just meant to be a form of stimulant for toddlers. Which is awful in comparison to the original movie, with great action and comedy for kids and a unexpectedly well written story for adults.

Continuing where Megamind vs The Doom Syndicate left off, this series has much the same problems as that sequel. Being largely episodic, it does nonetheless follow a plot thread debuting in that movie, that still runs counter to the original movie's plot.

Some of the jokes admitely hit better, but for the most part the humor is still the same, largely juvenile and devoid of the wit of the original. The sole redeeming character, Nighty-Knight, has less secreentime and edgy quips, so that sucks. And there is a strange lack of romance between Megamind and Roxanne, despiste even being addressed in one episode.

Again, a must NOT watch.
