Context YMMV / MegamindRules

Go To

1* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The theme song by Music/AdamLambert sums up Megamind succinctly. Even those who hate the show admit that it's pretty catchy.
2* DesignatedHero: Megamind isn't a villain anymore, but he causes so many of the problems in the show that it's hard to call him a hero now.
3* FanonDiscontinuity: Just like the PilotMovie, fans have written this show off as non-canon for all the same reasons, on top of ''even more'' retcons from the original film, such as Megamind studying under ''another'' supervillain to become evil (whereas in the original film, he was a genius at a young age who turned evil because he was raised by inmates, was shunned and bullied at school, and wanted to feel special).
4* InformedWrongness: [[spoiler: The season one finale has Machiavillain make the citizens believe that Megamind is [[FaceHeelTurn sliding back into villainy]]. While that isn't the truth, Megamind's actions throughout the whole show ''[[TookALevelInDumbass did]]'' [[TookALevelInDumbass cause more problems for the town]], so Machiavellian isn't wrong about how chaotic Megamind is in this show]].
5* SoOkayItsAverage: Compared to the universally reviled PilotMovie, this show is considered to be a lot more harmless and tolerable, but still hardly something to write home about.
6* StockFootageFailure: [[spoiler:The picture of Metro Man in Megamind's phone is very obviously a stock picture of his model in the original movie, contrasting hard with the cheaper animation of the show]].
7* UncertainAudience: Much like its PilotMovie, ''Megamind Rules'' is a more overtly-kid focused spin-off of a family movie made to bank off the audience of the original. However, it came out over a decade after its original movie, meaning said movie's original audience would no longer be children and actual children would be unfamiliar with the movie. The result is a series made to appeal to an audience too old for it, while those in the targeted age range don't know about the character and setting.
