Megamind: "I made you a hero. You did the fool part on your own."
also don't forget the line
"there's a benefit to loosing, you get to learn from your mistakes."
Facts
Nobody makes themselves a fool. If you didn't learn it was because of your teachers sucking, if you didn't want to learn it was because them or their parents made learning feel like an unending useless chore.
@@yasininn76 people have definitely made a fool out of themselves. Tighten had all the power in the world and threw it all away to get petty revenge because he’s a creepy pathetic incel who can’t accept fact that one girl is not attracted to him
@@yasininn76 "its everybody's fault but mine."
Before Injustice Superman, Homelander, and Omni man, there was this guy
Actualy incorrect. The comics versions of Omniman (2002) and Homelander (2006) are older than Tighten (2010).
For mainstream culture and their respective tv shows, I agree, but for comics fans, no.
Homelander and Omni Man were created before Megamind. The Boys comic was created in 2006 and Invincible was created in 2002, but both had gotten adaptations recently (TB isn't really an adaptation but eh)
Don't forget Plutonian from Irredeemable
@@ninhquockhanh7104 Too underrated
And Ultraman from Earth-3. That was also long before Megamind.
*Roxanne:* Please don't do this! i know there's still good in you, Hal.
*Hal:* You're so naive, Roxanne. You see the good in everybody even when it's not there.
This part started hitting different after hearing the "Power makes you more of what you are" bit
I think he actually says Roxie and not Roxanne
She didnt try to know him which
is the truth she couldnt stand
Him.
@@elongatedmanforever1252she did tho what
@@thegrandatm1844
How??
@@elongatedmanforever1252 😦
In addition to his share of bullies, Hal may have been raised by a single mother, hence why he believed "Space-Dad" was his father, and why Minion was "Space-Step-Mom" and not just "Space-Mom".
Good observation.
@@inthemindofavillain
Thanks!
@@inthemindofavillainor maybe has a Nice Guy syndrome
@@MrBrandonStar
Yeah but hes more
Then that.
@Jaceareeno
Yep its no wonder why he
Felt compelled to listen
To his space dad, he even
Felt hurt when megamind
"lied to Space mom" i think that
Was some of his personal
Life spilling out.
Tighten embodies the trope of evil cannot comprehend good. He can’t understand why having powers doesn’t immediately win over Roxanne, nor why anyone would want to be a hero if it doesn’t get them the girl. Ultimately, Hal couldn’t recognize the flaws in his view of what it meant to be a superhero.
what made Megamind work as a counterpart to Hal is even know Roxanne rejected him and felt like he screwed up he never went after her and knew he messed up and went back to being a villain showing despite losing her trust he would never go and cross a line showing he at least knew he messed up and going back to his original work is like following your old path
@@comicbookreviewer4856 Here’s another point about Tighten I wanted to make. I think he serves as a super-powered version of Gaston from Beauty and the Beast. Both have glaring similarities. They start out as toxic, but harmless, buffoons, who lust after the female protagonist. They also believe that all it takes to win the female protagonist’s heart are exterior qualities, like beauty or superpowers, in Tighten’s case. They don’t consider that their own negative qualities, such as their egos, selfishness, and overcompensation, are the reasons they don’t get the girl. They also show jealousy towards anyone who wins the heart of their desired lady. Finally, both become more evil as the story progresses, resorting to violence against those who they believe took their woman away. In that way, Tighten is even more terrifying. Gaston is scary enough, considering that his entitlement, unwillingness to take no for an answer, and resorting to violent measures when he doesn’t get his way, are all negative qualities that real people possess and cause them to hurt other people. Now, imagine a person with the same negative qualities, but having superpowers, to boot. That’s Tighten in a nutshell.
Well Hal never had much of a mentor either, that's why he reminds me of spiderman a lot, but with different powers. Hal needed the great power talk.
@@comicbookreviewer4856 another thing is Roxane, gave megamind a reason why they couldn't be together, she didn't respect Hal to give him one.
You mean until megamind needed to kidnap her again.
@@speedracer2008 I think you're to hard on tighten, he's more like spiderman in my book, both shy nerds who don't even try to get the girl until they get powers. Plus the difference between Hal and Gaston is that Hal only ever wanted 1 women, Gaston could have had any women he wanted, Hal was that awkward nerd who wanted the girl but didn't think she would ever go for him, plus Roxane did take advantage of him a lot. You can tell Hal generally did care about Roxane, that's why he didn't bust in at the diner scene.
A big word for him is entitlement. "You're supposed to be with me!" He considers Roxanne to be his right.
Yep. Hal believed he DESERVED to have his feelings for Roxanne returned to him. He never considered that Roxanne might not be interested in him, due to his own repugnant personality.
It's classic "Nice Guy(TM)" behaviour
What's disturbing to me is that if Hal eventually got Roxanne, he would probably get bored of her and find other ladies to be wit.
@@catholicfemininity2126or worse, he might have started abusing her
@@nicolasrestrepo6177
I doubt he would, he showed
He does care about her
But if he found out she
Was with megamind
He propably pull a
Homelander.
Not every bad guy has to have a tragic backstory. Some people really are just born phychopath’s.
Psychopath's are born, *Sociopaths are created*
Yup.
@@MR._BEAN35someone gets it
@@MR._BEAN35 - I thought it was the opposite? Sociopaths (those who physically can't feel empathy) are born, psychopaths (those with antisocial or violent behavior) are created. Sorry, I know it's nitpicking, but being precise is important with concepts like these.
@@ShinyAvalon😅😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Megamind is so underrated and was way ahead of its time.
Completely agree. One of the greatest animated superhero movies of all time.
agreed
Absolutely! Just finished watching it before I got here. The humor all around is great and well timed; the plot is interesting and takes some interesting turns; and all the character arcs are solid. Truly great film.
It was overshadowed by Despicable Me, that's why it didn't take off in the beginning
Disagree
The Virgin Tighten: Gets rejected. Gains power and becomes a mass murderer.
The Chad Ken: Gets rejected. Acts like a dickhead at first, but learns to love himself wthout Barbie's validation and that he is Kenough.
i think people forget that
Hal found out megamind
Tricked him & roxie
Was dating a supervillain
His whole world turned
Upside down, hal is
Just lazy & lacks self
Awareness its megamind
Who made him unhinged.
the wizard ken: gets dumped for a bee

That whole thing was weird.
This is the most realistic villain ever
Meh hal needs more character
Work.
Tighten is more so about someone who now can do whatever he wants without consequences.
"In this entry we’ll be taking a closer look at the supervillain Tighten/Titan from the DreamWorks animated movie, Megamind."
Incorrect, Tighten is only a villian not a super villian, because he lacks the Presentation of a super villian.
PRESENTATION!!!!!! *Insert Welcome To The Jungle*
“Super”villain is a villain with superpowers.
@@PayGorn Wrong. Supervillians do not need to have super powers .For Example The Joker is a supervillian, but he has no superpowers. What he definitely does have is the Presentation of a super villian.
You know when you look at Titan’s story it goes with the two quotes: With great power comes great responsibility and It’s either you die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain. Titan uses his new gift carelessly instead of taking full responsibility of it and eventually ends up becoming evil because of his ego.
Yep. Tighten was an insecure man, who saw superpowers as a way of bolstering his ego, rather than something he could have used to help others.
The two quotes unironically coming from the 2 greatest superheroes to describe a man’s transformation into a supervillain.
@@thecreatorlair Frieza is supervillain
@TheBlackPunishe what has Frieza to do with this conversation at all
also he broke the superhero golden rule and that is not to reveal you identity towards your love interest
Yeap, when his superhero physique couldn’t seal the deal, he decided to throw in his friendship with her as a bargaining chip.
@@inthemindofavillain the man was in love, love makes people do crazy things.
@@senister14 He wasn’t in love. Obsessed is more like it
@@fatuusdottore he was, he would have just moved on after he got the powers but he didn't .
He could have gotten another woman. Perhaps a shallow one, but he threw away his opportunity for redemption because he had a severe obsessive case of onenitis
Megamind is an underrated film and I honestly think it satirizes the superhero movie genre better than the Incredibles.
X2
I'm positive that The Incredibles didn't intend to satirize the superhero genre, but you're right
@@jamiegioca9448 the incredibles is more like what happens when you scoffed your biggest supporter because of your ego
the incredibles didn't really satirize superhero stories it takes itself very seriously more like a deconstruction
It's not underrated if literally everybody knows about it and praises it. It may be underrepresented in media, but it's not underrated at all
“A 28 year old NERD.”
Hal Stewart = Gaston + Syndrome
Syndrome had an ideology
He fought for his beliefs
Hal only cared about himself
Hence Gaston.
Tighten is his actual hero name since Titan was already trademarked
No his name was Titan But hal thought it was "Tighten"
@@Paleoguy3645Space Dad said “It was the only name I could trademark” plus it’s funny to imagine that Megamind has enough of an understanding of the law to find loopholes in registering trademarks but doesn’t know how to pronounce “hello”
His past was that he was the snotty boy from Barnyard
severely underrated channel
Indeed a VERY UNDERRATED channel
Well thankfully not anymore
From nerd to supervillain. It's the same thing with Aldrich Killian and Syndrome.
Is a real villain, but not a supervillain.
@@BlackKnightZ-j3 Oh, yeah? What’s the difference?
@@buddyro1860 Frieza is The hero actually!
@@buddyro1860*PRESENTATION!*
Now I noticed that in Hal’s drawings there is a broken heart with Roxanne’s name on it.
wait i just noticed something, in the drawing for the new costume designs hal's new suit has a big ''B'' in the middle but his name is tighten.... i have no idea what it could mean so if anybody wants to tell me im curious in hearing you out
Probably "Badass".
5:15
Being good looking though isn't all about genetics. Eating healthy, consistent and vigorous excercize, a social and relaxed lifestyle, consistent hygiene and other hard work can do wonders for your appearance.
Titan is a very accurate satire on the "nice guy" type!! For anyone unfamiliar, it's someone who believes they only need to acquire power to make them attractive, are interested in a prospective partner purely for selfish reasons (sex & ego-boost), who bully others despite having been victims themselves, and who are so focused on resentment & self-indulgence that they struggle to contribute anything positive to the society they exist within.
Hal's evolution throughout the movie entails a warning of sorts, to my mind? These kinds of people are often treated as a sort of joke, and their lack of self-awareness can perhaps be amusing. But when they do manage to gain any kind of power over other people, it can lead to reslly problematic results! We see this in individuals who are "promoted to the level of their incompetence", guys who harrass gamer-girls online... even (in the darkest instances) in school shooters or planners of domestic terrorist attacks.
It would've been great to see the video presenter maybe speculate a little on what changes in Hal's life could've potentially led him down a different path, away from the 'incel' mentality & towards greater maturity...? It's a real challenge present within our own social contexts, particularly in the internet age.
(BTW Cinema Therapy did a good episode on this character, his psychological issues and how one might help or deal with such an individual IRL?)
Is it wrong to identify with some things about Hal? I guess the only difference is that I'm too shy to even talk to a woman. And my mother always taught me empathy since I was little.The only things we have in common is this fear of rejection, the fact that we are "Underdogs" and the fact that we contribute nothing to society. I'm ashamed to be like this, I had a terrible childhood, and because of that I am this "bloodsucking" for society.And what makes me even more angry is that I can't express myself to anyone, because everyone thinks I'm trying to get attention. Life Sucks.
@@Sun-God2 That sounds frustrating! 😢 I guess maybe the differentiator is that Hal is actively endangering others to make himself feel more important (feeding his ego), whereas it sounds like you just want to be able to connect with people more, and are struggling because self-esteem challenges and being highly empathetic can make that very hard...?
Hope you have some outlet via community volunteering or similar. I started out cripplingly introverted as a teen, but learnt a huge amount through such activities about connecting to different types of people, & have met so many amazing individuals over the years in that space. A shared goal often helps make forging those social connections smoother, & it's possible to create some amazing mutually-supportive networks, even if only amongst a relatively small circle you trust?
@@anna_in_aotearoa3166 Thank you for your kind Words! It's been very difficult for me lately
@@Sun-God2 Hope things improve soon! Wishing you resilience, & perspective in finding the small joys & positive moments that can help pull us through those extra-challenging times...
Who the hell is titan, don't you mean tighten
I'm glad you mentioned the bully thing... something people often forget is that "nice guys" are most likely mentally unwell to some degree, thus never is there any hospitality or attempt to understand these people, but rather just more of what they don't need (bullying)
In reality, people like hal just need professional help.
Hal/Titan doesn’t have what it takes to be a superhero because of his egotism and lack of empathy towards other people and he only done it to get in the pants of Roxanne.
Roxanne is the very same woman who made it clear that she’s not romantically interested in Hal and she sees him as a fellow co-worker/cameraman and good friend.
If he had someone or an accountability partner in his life to show him the error of his ways, all of this could have been prevented and he would be an awesome superhero fighting for the greater good and working together with Megamind.
People forget that roxanne
Was menipulating him &
Obviously couldnt stand
Him yet tolerated him
She also never directly
Told him no until he
Had superpowers.
Megamind was "bad" but it was just a defense mechanism because he was actually insecure.
Titan was a clumsy loser who appeared to be good but power only enhanced his horrible flaws.
When Titan destroyed the city, people were scared because they didn't know anything about the threat, unlike Megamind, who only played with Metroman.
As the saying goes: it is better to know a crazy person than to know a crazy person.
Wouldn't it be funny if Megamind instead of doing the whole "Space Dad" thing, he just approaches Hal and say "Hey I want someone to replace Metroman because I'm bored, wanna be it?" Imagine Hal's reaction lmao.
Megamind is the nerd 🙂Hal is just the neck beard stereotype personified. Nerds are good people, but often misunderstood.
You're so wrong
hal is much more then a
"Neckbeard".
Nah. Megamind is a lost archetype known as “the scholar”. Hal is the perfect embodiment of the term nerd
Tighten was the modern day nice guy who couldn’t take the pain anymore…
Megamind created Hal into a super villain bent on vengeance against Megamind minion risk his life to survive saving Roxanne when Megamind arrived under the guise of metroman when Tighten threw him in the air Megamind dehydrate himself surviving the downfall and defuse tighten render him powerless and jailed.
"Now you see that evil will always triumph because good is dumb"
-Lord Helmet a long, long, long time ago
Excellent analysis! Man this movie was so ahead of its time. It's pretty complex for a kids movie.
Definitely a villain and a major ass hole. Megamind is such an underrated move.
Considering how often I've heard about tormented nerds becoming villains upon receiving super abilities, it's nothing short of astounding that Peter Parker turnout out as good as he did when he became Spider-man.
1. He had a great uncle and has a great aunt who gave him love and showed him the direction in life.
2. He used his power selfishly and only turned superhero when he witnessed Bens death.
Hal is more of an inpor then incel gets over Roxanne easily.
His mind set is you have power you want something take it
Megamindly we know that he became bad because of being in prison and being rejected.
But titan turned bad because a girl rejected him 💀
Nah, he became bad because he lived as a looser his entire life and the only thing that kept him from snapping was his simping for Roxanne, deluding himself that he has a chance for happines because she's nice to him. He just didn't had the power to act upon his rejection likebMegamind. But once he had, all his frustration came out at once.
Im glad that this isn't 9 minutes of you calling him an incel and dunking on men seen as inferior
Dude i agree, people are constantly crapping on
hal & saying he has toxic
Masculinity, hes a
Creep & is a incel
Whime ignoring that
Megamind lied &
Menipulated hal
& roxanne & got
Away with it &
Got the girl, serioiusly
People are seriously
inept & Do not understand
his character & just want
To push anti-men
Sentiments, hal is
a average joe who
Was obsessed with
a girl & went on
Too strong &
Was obviously
Not that smart
& socially inept
Thats why he
Accidently comes
Off as creepy because
He doesnt understand
Roxie doesnt like it
He propably cant
Understand people
& just wants love.
I think the reason for that is because tbh Titian is overhyped just a tat bit because of the whole trend of the topic of incels/“nice guys” that everyone is talking about or trying to equate men to, hence why people treat tighten like he’s the most complicated realistic evil masterfully done villain ever, which he is evil, he’s written kinda generically but good, but it’s somewhat overhyped.
I’m waiting for people to look back on the Mario series and start calling King Bowser a complex incel character that reflect how men are all xyz.
hope you'll cover Death from Puss In Boots: The last Wish
probably after the next one
@@inthemindofavillain ok you do that 😉
Invincible should teach this guy a lesson, the hard way.
Negative character arc where a character ends worse than they were at the beginning
Sometimes I wonder if Hal’s descent to villainy could’ve been avoided If he was shown the error of his thinking before gaining power.
If only there was someone to teach him that it’s not about the rewards when doing what’s right.
It’s about looking out for the well being of others.
I think Hal would have still been a jerk, because it's clear from the beginning that he's a selfish man who only cares about what other people can do for him. Having superpowers simply gave him the means to take it.
@@speedracer2008 It’s simply a matter “when”. You’re right, it’s more likely the end result wouldn’t change much at this point in his life.
But perhaps at an earlier point in time. At a time when he was still trying to figure out who he is and wants out of life.
@@sonicwind767 True. I didn’t think of it that way. I wonder what got Hal to be this kind of person.
@@speedracer2008 The answer might be in how he reacted when he thought he was facing Metro Man.
He might’ve been bullied in the past.
What’s also worth mentioning is the fact that his parents are never mentioned or even revealed in the movie.
This could either mean that they just didn’t matter to the plot.
Or that something tragic happened to them.
Ultimately, it appears that he’s never really had any real figures of authority to teach him about moral values.
@@sonicwind767 It is possible that Hal has unresolved issues with bullying in his past, given his propensity for anger and his need to flex his power over others. He may be dishing out what bullies did to him onto others.
The statement that I think best sums up hal is that abosulte power doesn't simply corrupt abosulty, but rather it always reveals. Hal always was a horrible entitled little brat who felt he was owed the girl he wanted and when life didn't live up to his expectation and having all the power to do whatever he wants he leaves a reign of terror in his wake. You know he's bad when a season supervillain like megamind is scared of what he's become.
Yes Hal is somewhat entitled
But i think he genuinely cared
For roxanne he just went
About it wrong.
Great/perfect analysis.
I don't think Hal was a victim of bullying. I think he was neglected and undisciplined as a child, and got away with with stuff. His parents were not involved, so they didn't MAKE him "toe the mark" and grow up. THerefore, he became "a law unto himself": an entitled narcissist.
Although Megamind was villain of his own story he ends creating a worse threat proving that you have to be careful who you trust in superpowers especially the geeky types.
Especially after you crush them emotionally.
@@senister14 - If your response to getting crushed emotionally (not due to anyone's malicious act, mind you, but just by not getting something you want) is to cause pain to others, getting crushed is not your problem...being cruel and pathologically selfish is.
If Hal had flown off to the wilderness and punched some boulders into dust, _then_ gone back to play video games, then he wouldn't be a villain. What makes him evil is his "I'm in pain, so I get to hurt others" attitude. A good or even morally neutral person wouldn't have done what Hal did. He made that decision all by himself.
It's not his nerdiness that's the problem; it's his lack of empathy. There are plenty of awkward, nerdy people who wouldn't seek to hurt others just because they got told "no" by a prospective date.
@@ShinyAvalon in your first part of your comment are you generally asking me in person or referring to hal? I just want to be clear?
@@senister14 - I'm referring to Hal, of course. I'm using "you" in the hypothetical sense.
Its Titan!
I'm pretty certain that nerds know how to spell titan: plus, even if nerds are bullied (and harassed on social media over liking IPs like Warhammer), a the vast majority them grew up with superhero stories and obsess over characters that are heroic and thus try to do the right thing.
Tighten is more like an Undertale and RWBY shipper in regards to social skills.
A lot of nerds more look at heroes with powers in awe of their fantastical powers. Superhero mythology, while encouraging altruism, is massively self empowering, and often attracts people who feel powerless or hurt by the world and allows them to fantasise about their desires.
It often inspires insecure characters obsessed with heroes like Syndrome or Reverse Flash
@@arcanewarrior863 Synderome has no mention of a father in a story that focuses heavily on daddy issues, as shown by Dash acting up and Violet having confidence issues when Bob is not around. Plus, Synderome decided to go into arms manufacturing and murdered innumerable innocents in order to test his weapons so that he could show off his hero synderome driven aspriation for glory in front of Bob and invalidate what he views as the whole point of a superhero: he did all that and lashed out at all superheroes just to slight one person instead of being taught better by his mother or finding a replacement rolemodel who had noble intentions rather than likely being a warmonger.
The bottom line: he's not normal, he's a sociopath (antisocial behaviour case*) who also weirdly has red hair like "tighten" and who arguably shows some signs of borderline personality disorder. It also seems to be less about insecurity and more about feeling betrayed or neglected in Synderome's case.
It could also be assumed that if glory or attention was all these characters were after they would realistically relate more to selfish an self-serving villains like The Green Goblin, Megatron or Professor James Moriarty.
As for Reverse Flash, I honestly don't know much about him, but I would guess that he's also not like the majoriety of nerds: yes those people could exist, you're absolutely right about that, but the number is likely so marginal that it would be unfair to say that these characters are like nerds in general.
If an actual nerd acts up, they can be reminded of what the heroes they looked up to would do based on what they have done in similar circumstances.
EDIT: *I meant to type 'Antisocial Personality Disorder case'.
Hal was an idiot, was he really a "nerd"? Dont think he was the book learnin type.
To me , he didn't want a punch in face from MetroMan because he knew how hard can MetroMan hit. he did Not necessarilly Had experiences before
youtube algorithm brought me here, loved the video, going to be checking out your other works!
I personally think that had he been blue or green-eyed, he wouldn't be so physically average. But that is just me complaining about the fact that there aren't many gingers in Spain 😂
You did great making these videos
think you can do more with characters like
Dr Neo Cortex
Turbo / King Candy
Carnage ( Venom 2 movie )
or
Dr Robotnik
I don't think that Hal knows that Roxanne was out of his league. I just think he didn't have a clue how to get her. Once he had powered, he figured he could just wow her and force her. However, she said that Metroman was not her "type", so she was not impressed by superpowers or his handsome looks. She was impressed by empathy and compassion (in Bernard). Hal only had "I want what I want because it's all about ME". This story is also a re-telling of Cyrano De Bergerac. Megamind had to disguise himself, and she fell in love with who he was on the inside, and like Cyrano, it was the things that he said that she loved.
I don't know whether this is intentional. But the fact Hal spells it "Tighten" instead of "Titan". It represents how instead of using his power to be a "titan" of justice, he uses it to "tighten" his grip on Roxanne and Metrocity.
Perfect! Power don't make anyone worst but choices does.
He looked like he had a serious mental problem
Wait is his name actually spelt Tighten? I’ve been spelling it wrong all these years lol 😭
Hello I have subscribed to your TH-cam channel
To be fair to Hal, it wasn't his fault he was such a bad person. When you have a very low esteem of yourself like he does, it's hard to care genuinly for other people. That's why the first step to loving somebody is to start loving yourself, which is SUPER corny but also very true
It is his fault, but yeah he has no self esteem it seems, worse than me.
Titan was just not the right person to be given powers by Megamind.
Do you think there will be a chance that tightened maybe return for the TV show?
Don’t think so, his arc was complete
@@inthemindofavillain Oh okay,I understand.
@@inthemindofavillain everyone loves a good redemption arc.
@@senister14Agreed.
@@inthemindofavillainI mean I have a few ideas on how he could maybe come back maybe he would want to get his powers back?
I can only imagine what Hal Stewart's trial was like in court. Roxanne most likely had to testify against him and had to give details of all the warning signs and red flags he showcased when they worked together and prior to Hal becoming Titan.
Titan is realistic coin toss for underdogs
Power revels
"You're a villain alright, but not a super one."
For as silly as that line is, it actually does adequately describe Hal as an antagonist
Hal is a pathetic loser, from start to finish. Gaining godlike power doesn't change that in the least. He's lacking in confidence, ambition, social intelligence, general intelligence... and to top it all off, he's just an inconsiderate, entitled dickbag, making him impossible to pity.
He lacks the charm or wit to draw people to his side, and lacks the skill or desire to do anything constructive or creative with his power. If he won, he'd probably go back to playing videogames and stealing anything that catches his eye. He has nothing going for him, and the moment he gets any level of power, he uses it to try and take by force something that can only be given freely: respect.
There is nothing respectable or redeeming about him, and that kind of helps to make him an excellent villain for this movie. Just like Megamind and Metroman, he had his power and responsibility thrust upon him without his knowledge or consent. Unlike them, he has no redeeming qualities or virtues to steer him on the right path.
And in the end, he lacks even the qualities necessary to be a "supervillain". He's just a jerk with too much power and a sense of entitlement.
Megamind is a great villain Megamind is such an awesome movie
Titan... tighten... Thailand...
Titanic... tight then ... tide in ...
Tied in... TITAN
7:22 wow amazing that you observed that!
The incell superman
Cringe name, but okay.
i always wondered why his face stayed fat or chubby. like he was given a lot of muscle and lost a lot of his waist and body fat. but his head is unchanged
If he tightened the screws loose in his head, he would be sane
2:47 This scene hits differently after Attack on Titan's final chapter. If you know, you know!
NO! I DON'T WANT THAT! ROXANNE FINDING ANOTHER MAN?
Keep this mind y’all this is all because of a girl
There is no Easter bunny
The king of incels.
Cringe
If an incel ever got superpowers, he would be Titan.
Yes & no because a incel
Could actually change &
Become heroic depending
On their circumstances.
At 1:20 i always found it odd how not only did Hal sell out that lady, but how did he know she had nicer stuff?? I mean, sure, he's probably lived there a while and probably saw in while passing by, but with his characteristics i feel like that could hint to something a bit creepy???
Awesome and cool! ^_^
I don't think hal was the bully geek but the lacky to the juck but failed seen when he called barnyed a dweeb
that's a good observation actually, never considered it until you just mentioned it.
@@inthemindofavillain yeah that also might have made even more resentfull at the world he was failure to people who abused and used him so now he is paying it back
@@agsdragon5475 yep, it's joker all over again.
I disagree. A lacky type is far more willing to submit themselves to the authority of another or serve. I really do think he was a geek who was bullied. Who only ever saw himself as a victim and so was totally unprepared for being in a position of power.
@@MrMarinus18 well he kind of was a victim, I mean you saw his place. The power was just him taking revenge on those who've wronged him, a lot of people can get that.
Dreamworks, where’s Megamind 2: It’s Big Brain Time at?
He's just so relatable.😭
Megamind also didn't handle rejection from Roxanne cause he selfishly aim to face Hal after this happened (of course he didn't hate her, but he also cares only about her till the end of the movie, and not the society)
Do darth vader
Megamind was bullied
There's no evidence, but I wonder if Hal had no good strong father growing up. If he did have a dad, the dad was either a step dad who didn't care about him; or his mom had many boyfriends.
I was thinking the same thing, actually... the absence of a father figure and, by extension, a positive male role model potentially combined with a neglectful single mother could explain why he is the way he is.
He was definitely raised by single mother as there's obviously no father figure in his life and he has scarcity mindset with women and those are 2 obvious signs of being raised by single mothers
Well, he remains a villain at all costs by using his powers by mistake.
What?
Tfw when you realize Hal was an incel before incels were "cool" (in the biggest air quotes possible)
He is the stereotypical kid raised by single mother too
@@baha3alshamari152no, I don't think he is
i wish he had more depth.
This isn't the average Joe
This is Hal
A child
Who believes in clearly wrong information to the point where if something doesn't go right, he shouldn't be good to preserve that "injustice"
wll of these 10 minutes can be summarized with one word.
INCEL
There’s more to tighten then that
Megamind never released Bernard from his pocket dimension. It was Megamind pretending to be Bernard in the ending.
Hal is not as noble or smart compared to Metro Man. Hal also displays psychopathic behavior during training, such as melting a wax Megamind figure with a sadistic grin.
... Millions of people shooting humanoid NPCs daily in videogames, and having fun doing it. Those are also psychpatic now?
Hal Stewart. An immature creep rejected by the only girl he wanted, becoming a superpowered maniac.
Glow up
No offence but i can't figure out if you're voice is an AI or not
any man can face advercity but if you want to see a mans true character, give him power
Yeah, if I had power I bring about a world of peace, joy and prosperity... by making it a living hell for anyone who opposes those ideals.
@@Azrael__pretty sure Hitler would've said the same thing
@ChaosAngel9151 Not remotely. I'm just envisioning bringing about the world that almost every religion yearns for. The only difference is that I don't believe there's an afterlife, so I want to bring hell to the realm of the living.
@@ChaosAngel9151 All I want is justice.
I wouldn’t describe Hal as a “nerd”.
Titan reminds me of the Joker's quote
" All it takes is one bad day"
I say Tetsuo is a better villain then Tighten in a way
Is that from an anime?
@@inthemindofavillain yeah, the main villain of Akira
Whatever
😤😤😤
@@AlexSylvester-nu1wf what?
Omni Man would put this immature guy in his place, the hard way
i think what he really needs most is a dad & a mentor.
