This week in the Deep Hurting Project, Megamind vs. The Doom Syndicate. I didn't watch this movie until about a week ago, but I thought it was alright. 14 years later, they released a sequel with all the cast replaced. How well did it do? Well, they released it direct to streaming just before Kung Fu Panda 4. Also, apparently, they somehow decided to not release the original movie to streaming. So, unless you either had the original DVD or figured out how and where to use a VPN, all you had was the sequel.
- It's the first few seconds and I can already tell that everything's wrong with Megamind. He sounds closer to Tom Kenny than Will Ferrell, and even his assets look different.
- My God! That's Des Essenties' koi fish!
- Minion's created a cease and desist order against Minion in the span of a few days?
- That line about constants made me check if there was anybody from the original involved. Fortunately, the two writers who wrote the original returned to write the sequel.
- So, the youth were born tech-savvy? I guess they were willing to gamble that whatever kids were willing to sit through this and enjoy this movie enough to want to see the original could figure out how to set your VPN to Canada, go onto Paramount Plus, and then watch it.
- Apparently, Lady Doppler knows how to touch burning rock without feeling anything.
- So, apparently you can tie someone up with darkness.
- And why did they take "Knighty Knight" from Willy's Wonderland.
- Or you could have just turned location services on for her phone without
- How the fuck is someone who's able to take over the world unable to figure out that you need to plug in toasters?
- So, Megamind spent some time in prison in the original. Why is this the first time we're hearing of Megamind having a Doom Syndicate.
- Is Megamind getting the key to the city the first they've heard of him in a long time? How did they not notice when he saved the city from TitanTighten a couple days ago? And how did they not get involved when he was just going on a crime spree unmolested?
- They'll pound you into a blue pulp... At least if you didn't use that Dehydration gun.
- Since when were you ever part of the Doom Syndicate? Good question.
- And he went to Villain School? Didn't he go to the same school as Metro Man?
- She keeps fucking mentioning that this plan could EASILY have been finished.
- And to think that now, Megamind's cover is just one livestream away from being blown.
- I get the feeling the Mayor is related to this girl:
- And why the fuck is he waiting to use the dehydration gun on the bandits? And why didn't he use it on the Doom Syndicate?
- "Me is one of my favourite things in the world!"
- You need a way to take them all out at once? How long does it take the dehydration gun to dehydrate people? So, I guess that the shark takes more time to dehydrate than the bandit, so I guess you can just.
- You've been breaking your brain for a plan?
- So, what the fuck can Chum do that his dehydration gun can't?
- I can't tell whether or not storing donuts on a spool is practical or not.
- So, he figured out how to use the Porta-Prison. The same one that didn't work in the beginning. And how long can BrainBot 227 maintain that-- well, that was short.
- So, Knighty Knight can be harmed with a fucking flashlight? And I thought Metro Man having faking a weakness to copper was stupid!
- Well, at least that baseball bat is wooden and not metal.
- You're the only one you can save the city? You took a blindingly obvious way out and didn't bother using it.
- They're still doing goth jokes? Even by the original, they were switching to using emo kids as a punching bag.
- Nice to see them stop this movie with an ad for a fictional store.
- That's a macaw, not a parakeet.
- And they're fucking defeating the bad guys with tennis balls, and making decent headway.
- Why does that traffic light have two yellows and greens right next to one another?
- Why is BrainBot a parrot now?
- And why does Metro City look like it's something out of Skibidi Toilet?
- So, here's how the Doom Squad gets dispatched. Mr. Mime gets covered in cement, Lady Doppler gets electrocuted, Behemoth gets run over by a truck, and Knighty Knight gets destroyed by a flash bomb. SOmehow, they're alive enough to go back to Prison.
- Also, some Evil Con Carne motherfucker called Machiavillain taught Megamind everything he knows. And not his prison mates. Whatever.
