I know nothing about it except that memes indicate people like it. I’m usually on board with a DreamWorks or Pixar movie but I’d mentally sorted this one into the ‘not for me’ category along with Minions for some reason (not intending to compare the two).
Yes, the first one is goofy but it did the whole “what would an actually average person do with superhero powers” shtick before it was cool, and managed to make it funny and pretty sweet too.
Yes, it’s a commentary on the way that generational systematic racism and overpolicing negatively impact black youths. And also a deconstruction of incel ideology.
IMHO…fuck yes! It’s a funny and clever movie that should’ve gotten more recognition but was overshadowed by other releases that same year. As a grown man on the edge of 40 it’s one of my favorite movies and never fails to get a laugh. Endlessly quotable, lots of clever little jokes and gags that are hilarious when you notice them.
I’d say it’s absolutely worth at least one watch and if you like it enough to watch it again you’ll definitely notice some things that you didn’t the first time around and get a whole new set of laughs.
Should I watch Megamind?

Yes the first one yes definitely just don’t watch anything after the first one after the first one it’s a cringe fest
I live for cringe!
Dead Snow I was sad.
Dead Snow II i’m still besides myself. They hit the ball out of the genre!
But if you can’t appreciate (good) cringe then the point would be missed
I’m not talking about good cringe I’m talking about bad cringe
There is no bad cringe, there is only cringe. Especially if the draw is the cringe and not whether it’s a good movie or not (e.g. Dead Snow II)
The entire point of cringe is that it’s hard to watch.
Actually watch bad movies on purpose.

How DARE YOU put the sacred name of Megamind equal to those yellow turds.
To be fair, the first despicable me was decent imo. But the abominations which followed…
Yeah, I agree with you. Now it feels like they’re based their entire studio’s identity on those yellow turd and milking it to the bone.
The whole idea was to make money the whole time!!!
It’s surprisingly funny with a lot of absurdist humor, there’s a lot to like, but also not every film is for everyone.
