Megamind/Fridge: Difference between revisions

Line 27:

** And he wants Roxanne to see it because it's new and unexpected, when earlier she insulted him by being unsurprised by all his traps.

** Might be the [[Captain Obvious]] here but it occured to me when reading the above fridge: Megamind thinking "Exit" meaning "Exciting" is not because he's socially inept, but because he grew up in a ''prison''. Think about it: the most exciting thing for any prisoner is to step out ''the Exit Door''.

* Megamind's strangely purplish ears are easily explained by the high concentration of his blood vessels through that area. [[What Measure Is a Non Human|His blood is red.]]

* Notice how the colour of the dresses Roxanne wears change throughout the movie. The first one is red, the second purple, the final one blue. Red for when she's an enemy of Megamind, purple when she's -- thanks to her interactions with 'Bernard' (and the effect she's having on him) -- a bit more ambivalent towards him, and blue when he's finally managed to win her over.

* It's extremely foggy on the day that Space-Dad takes Titan out for flying lessons. It's easy to miss because they're flying above it. This is, of course, so that nobody gets a preview of the new hero before he's ready.

Line 57:

** Plus, when breaking Megamind out of prison, Minion doesn't exactly react well to Megamind's claim that they're going to die fighting Titan.

* ''[[Megamind]]'' is a thinly-veiled Michael Jackson conspiracy theory. The whole idea of a hero staging his own death, making a fake corpse and choosing to do all this to reinvent himself and live a different life may be enough. But also note when Metro Man is seen in his disguise of a coat and a white fedora: many who believe in the conspiracy theory that The King of Pop is still alive will point out the video footage of his memorial: in the third row is an old man dressed the same way, and apparently nobody can explain who he is or what he is doing at the service-some believe he is Michael Jackson in prosthetic makeup, watching his own funeral. [[Tropers/Jedd-the-Jedi|Jedd-the-Jedi]]

* [[Anti Villain]] [[Villain Protagonist|Protagonist]] [[Megamind]] has an army of menacing little brain-bots with the personalities of puppies. As per [[Rule of Funny]], right? But think about it: what's one of the best qualities that dogs and puppies are known for? ''Unconditional love''. His instilling them with such a personality trait is yet another reflection of [[Woobie Destroyer of Worlds|how starved he is]] [[I Just Want to Be Loved|for affection.]] - [[Tropers/Shaka Raka|Shaka Raka]]

* Why doesn't the disguise watch cover the eyes? Because you need to see through that "hole" in the disguise! (Well, it's at least a ''semi''-plausible theory.)

* Usually the disguise watch also changes the wearer's voice, but Megamind sounds the same as Bernard. This is because he didn't have time to capture Bernard's voice. It also explains why Megamind asks the warden for the time; to record his voice for future use.

Line 69:

** I'd be willing to bet somewhere in the collection of superpowers Metro Man has is one that makes him (or someone else with his powers) immune to being completely dehydrated. Maybe aliens from his planet look vaguely human but have some kind of amorphous solid putty (or gas) in place of blood. I mean it'd be pretty stupid if Megmind hadn't used his signature weapon against his signature foe in all of their various different show downs... Granted, they could have slipped in a scene showing how Metro Man is immune to being dehydrated back when they were both in school, and maybe there already is a deleted scene to that effect, but either way, that's my two cents...

** Megamind's had the Dehydrate Gun since childhood. Presumably in one of his many (many many) battles with Metro Man since then, he's tried it out and long-since learnt it didn't work. And since it didn't work with Metro Man, it's not going to work with Titan now.

* When Megamind and Minion go into their Space Dad/Space Step-Mom disguises, Minion has a [[Paper Thin Disguise]], presumably because he doesn't have Megamind's hologram watch. But later {{spoiler|he is disguised as Megamind while Megamind is disguised as Metroman}}. So why didn't Minion have a better Space Step-Mom disguise?

** His current Space Step-Mom disguise worked and he liked it or was used to it.

** Or maybe Megamind realized that such disguises may not fool all the citizens of Metro City and created another hologram watch for Minion to use before the battle.

Line 111:

** He shows up during the credits. Megamind forgets to empty his pockets and Bernard is re-hydrated in the washing machine, then Minion whacks him with the Forget-Me-Stick.

* Remember when Megamind says, "Imagine the most horrible, terrifying, evil thing you can possibly think of and multiply it...by six!" The most horrible, terrifying, evil thing I can think of is child abuse. So Megamind is bringing child abuse times 6? [[Oh Crap|Aw...crap.]]

** I wouldn't go that far. Megamind's idea of 'evil', even before his [[Heel Face Turn]], is clearly more along the lines of the melodramatic [[Card Carrying Villain]] who twirls his evil moustache and laughs his [[Evil Laugh]] as he uses his evil rope to tie the [[Distressed Damsel]] to the evil train-tracks, all of which conveniently takes long enough for the good guy to swoop in and save the day -- the sort of villain who makes a lot of noise about being a villain but once you look beyond the surface is actually more-or-less [[Harmless Villain|harmless]]. He's clearly bluffing because he's got no idea what he's doing and has never imagined a day where he'd ever have to think this far ahead.

** I always saw it as [[Nothing Is Scarier]]. He hadn't thought of a method of villainous torment for the city folk because, well, he never really thought he'd have to. So he tells them to think of something horrible because nothing he could say would match the power of human imagination. It made sense, since the citizens didn't appear too fazed by Megamind's presence later in the film, such as when he's wearing his new mecha suit and they're all just standing around awkwardly. They only became truly frightened when a ''real'' villain showed up.
