Megamind Rules!

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.

Megamind Rules! (2024-) is a new animated series based on the 2010 animated movie and it sucked major balls. Now while, I didn't despise this show on the level I did with Megamind vs. The Doom Syndicate (2024), Megamind Rules! (2024-) is still an abysmal and cynical animated show.

Positives for Megamind Rules! (2024-): If you have any kids, then they'll probably enjoy the show, just don't let them force you to watch it.

Negatives for Megamind Rules! (2024-): Now I understand this show was probably made for kids, but that's not an excuse for this show is be this bad and boring. The 2010 animated movie was made for kids, but it also has something for the adults to get invested in. There was more to the movie than the typical good guy vs. Bad guy story, this new show has nothing to offer to adults, fans of the 2010 animated movie or even to kids. The characters is so one-dimensional and devoid of any personality whatsoever. The villains are so bland, so boring and so over the top for no reason. The animation in the show looks so low budget that it's hard to look at. And finally, the story just sucks and feels like something that was made by the Asylum.

Overall, Megamind Rules! (2024-) is an atrocious animated show, it's a horrible example of modern day remakes and reboots of older properties and it's a show that has no reason to exist at all.

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.

The story of this movie is bad I don't like this. It is boring and animations. The movements of characters is very unhuman you know from the 2010 move was better than thes animation, the lights the colors are better you know every time we go to the New Year's the animations get worse and worse the old animation are better than the new animation. The story of new animation are boring. The villains are boring. The movements of character are creepy. The Megamind for 2010 it was a very genius idea to be an animation but today this Megamind is crazy and creepy. We should back to the 2000 because animation in 2000 was better from today.

Cheap animation, bad jokes, terrible dialogue... it's pretty clear why the voice cast didn't return. This is yet another lazy sequel/series that seems to exist purely to push content. As of now, there's 1 other review here that's glowing. Don't believe it. They've only reviewed this and the awful straight to streaming movie that dropped on the same day to set this up. Sus.

This show started auto-playing as soon as that ended, which I'll bet is going to be most of it's viewership. I wish I hadn't wasted time watching either. I know a lot of this stuff gets accused of being written by AI during the strikes, but I can see that actually happening here, with it looking so terrible because it was rushed out. Do better guys.
