Ugh This character reminds me of myself.

Same except I have been told I'm good looking many times but it's counteracted by my social retardation.

>>214867906
I actually feel a disconnect to reality when I watch this movie
Supposedly, according to everyone, it's a movie proving that it does not matter what power you have, or how you look, it's what is on the inside that counts.

But when we meet this nerd he is a hard worker, with a very interesting job, with his own flat. He has a crush on his super nice colleague who is a well liked reporter. She literally IGNORES him and is very quick to shut him off and down every time he talks.

Yet, apparently, the moral is that he is an awful person so the woman doesnt like him, meanwhile megamind is an ugly blue man but is loved by her because of his actions..

Meanwhile Omniman or whatever is a handsome super hero loved by everyone for both his actions and the way he looks. Thing is though Megamind was a bad guy for a verrrry long time. And the power tripping nerd acts the way he does when he gets powers BECAUSE of how minimized and ignored he was without them.

What more, other than losing weight aka looks, could he have done to be a better and loved individual pre power up?

Jonah Hill's character is just a strawman for the writers to tear down their hated beta nice guy caricature. It's not interested in exploring the character in much depth.
>>
>>214868215
Its not that deep, the character was written to humiliate Jonah Hill as a joke.
>>
>>214868215
ive mentioned time ago in threads like these that his character breaks the movie. the whole point of the film is about redemption and judging people based on their actions, but his character is just dumb and a loser by definition, he is a plot device to give megamind someone to win over. it's ironic but terrible, the film would be great otherwise
>>
megamind is retroactively made worse by the cashgrab 'sequel' and the series that followed. just awful.
>>
>>214869212
Never watched them and never will, it's a standalone movie for me and I'm fine pretending nothing else exists
>>
>>214867906
Wasn't this the character that broke Jonah Hill?
>>
>>214869228
lucky.
aside from the evil lady that had no relevance, Moana 2 was pretty okay for a cashgrab series they turned into a sequel (it's got 3 directors, odd pacing, and a ragtag group of nobodies, they just cut out a season's worth of filler and were left with a movie-length story)

so i figured maybe megamind 2 wasn't THAT bad. oof.
>>
>>214869154
>the whole point of the film is about redemption and judging people based on their actions
it's not even about redemption, the protagonist had no chance to ever be "the good guy", he was literally thrown into a criminal environment and bullied by his peers for no reason
had he landed in the same family metroman landed he'd have been the good guy from the very start. he had nothing to really redeem himself from, he was forced into being a bad guy
the whole arc of megamind "becoming" the good guy is absolutely retarded
>>
>>214868215
This was my take mostly as well. The character is very tonally weird. He's completely normal and seems to have normal mental defenses and morality to take things in stride, then the writer gods intervene to harden his hard and suddenly he starts reacting to the constant low levels of life antagonism he's been getting in completely unhinged manners. He's forced to be a villain.
>>
>>214869412
>He's forced to be a villain.
just like incels in real life.
>>

>>
>>214868215
power reveals who we really are, and the reporter bitch knew he was a weasel from the start. Meanwhile, when given a chance to be normal without a visible disability (being blue and big headed) she learned that mega mind was a decent enough chap. She's seen what both are like in positions of power and when "normal."
One is a victim of how people treated him and was forced into his role of villainy, and the other immediately defaulted to being even worse once in a position of power.
>>
>>214869524
megamind was impersonating someone she already casually knew, though, right? that gave him a head start on being treated better while in disguise

unless i'm mistaken
>>
>>214869412
>He's forced to be a villain.
literally by megamind
and he's not even that much of a villain, he clearly shows empathy to his space stepmom and gets angry when megamind treats him badly

Hal isn't a good guy though. He doesn't take a hint, he doesn't move on from his oneitis, who he's possessive in a beta orbiter way. When he gains power, he has no interests in helping people or moving on to bigger dreams, he just fixates on what he doesn't have and becomes bitter. A better man would have moved on, he could have been a chad as Tighten but he focused on one girl who was into twinks.

You may think he's nice due to those superficial traits you listed, but deep down his problem is entitlement and contrary to what you think this isn't an incel issue. You see it with many stacies too, they fixate on some unattainable dream chad, instead of moving on and finding satisfaction elsewhere in life.
>>
>>214868215
>hard worker, with a very interesting job, with his own flat
lol

iirc he's not conveyed as anything except a random doughy guy who has a crush on his coworker that isn't interested in him. if you think he's awful or pathetic because of that, then that's you telling on yourself. and after he gets powers, he turns into a total cartoon character that has no real motivation aside from vague vindictiveness and egotism. i guess it's supposed to show that power corrupts or shows what's truly inside yada yada it's all pretty ham handed, and that's fine because it's not a movie about him

metroman is very specifically shown as a selfish moron with super powers. he would rather do music for his own amusement than save lives.

also as a side note, yes, hal being fat makes him bad. fatness correlates with low impulse control, lack of critical thinking and some amount of selfishness (because it forces everyone else to suffer a smelly fat fuck around them). so logically speaking being fat is inherently evil. that's why he still had a fat face even after he got super powers
>>

He couldn't have done anything. Nothing can change the quintessential being of a man. You're either the Last Man (Metroman), the New Man (Megamind), or the Subhuman (this dork).

Getting a grip and actually going after women he matches with. The reporter bitch is some fancy pants woman and the guy talked about a clown birthday party (or something like that its been a while since I saw the movie) and he thought that was going to woo her somehow.
Meaning he knew jackshit about her as a person. Megamind meanwhile got close and personal in talking with her, under a disguise which hurt her later on, but still.

No, what I'm saying is you're probably a left-wing tranny who calls it "entitlement" when a white man advocates for himself but considers it good and moral when a """""minority"""""" does it

I'm basically making fun of you for being full of shit and not really believing what you say, your idea of morality is subjected to the race, gender and sexuality of the individual

I'm not an Ayn Rand fan. It's a fact that morals don't exist, they're an abstract concept that change on a whim.

No, I never said he was a good person, I just mocked the anon for making all of his weird moralist drivel arguments to justfy that he was a bad person. I don't think there's such thing as a good or bad person because human's are more complex than that and morality is a subjective idea.

You are literally espousing Randian objectivism ITT, with a little bit of libertine morality thrown in there (minus the sexual freedom aspects obviously). Not surprising since that's what /pol/ and the Republicans preach.

Pretty embarrassing that you don't know the roots of your own philosophy though. You must not be very well-read.

Anons post basically amounted to "if you're a possessive fucker with a turbo obsession over your oneitis that makes you seethe and act bitter you're not a good person"(replying to someone who said the character is a good person), that's not moralist that's common sense.

metroman basically spent his entire existence being groomed to be a superhero without any real choice in the matter, the point is that he never got to choose what he wanted to actually do in life. he's a clear mirror to megamind in that he was forced into a role based purely off what others wanted and not him.

Yes.
If you're selfish, you're immoral. That's not a difficult concept. Pure ethics necessitates the purgation of the self, and subsumation to the ethical necessities of the ethical enforcing instrument, which is the pinnacle of ethical existance and the most greatest Good thing that can ever be the Greater Good.
>>
You can't argue with me. If you do, I'll just call you evil and you'll lose the debate automatically because you can't prove that you're not a bad person.
