`~John Doe~`
Edit cast list for:
Megamind (2010)?
Trivia:
After Megamind has taken over the town, his large "No you can't" posters are a reference to American president `~14029~`'s 2008 campaign posters featuring the slogan "Yes we can". Megamind mispronounces words 20 times throughout the movie, most noticeably Metro City as Metrocity (rhyming with atrocity). Both `~9241~` and `~7399~` were approached for the role of Megamind, but turned it down due to scheduling conflicts. Stiller, however, appears in the role as Bernard the curator. There are numerous references to Superman in this film. These include: - The way Megamind's parents put him in a capsule to Earth just before his planet is destroyed - The love interest is a reporter - Hal's "space dad" is obviously modeled after `~8362~` as Superman's father in !~th_super_1~!~4598~`'s film version~! - Almost all of Metroman's super powers are the same as Superman's - Megamind's pronunciation of Metro City has the same stress pattern as 'Metropolis' in @##Superman##@ - Megamind's alter ego Bernard wears glasses like Clark Kent. - In the Metro Man Museum, there's a statue of Metro Man preparing to catch an airplane. This is a reference to John Byrne's @##Superman##@ comics, where Superman made his first appearance by catching a plane and saving Lois Lane. To promote the film, `~1591~` assembled 1,580 of his friends and their acquaintances at a superhero costume function. This party set a Guinness World Record for the largest gathering of superheroes. `~6497~` assisted in editing the film to make it more exciting. The film's plot was based on the premise: "What if Lex Luthor defeated Superman?" In the office where Megamind in lamenting his destruction of Metro Man, the camera pans across the room until it stops on Megamind addressing an infamous 'Drinking Bird'. As the camera pans you can see what appears to be the Ark of the Covenant as well as what seems to be the Maltese Falcon on the desk to the right of Megamind as he begins to address the Drinking Bird. At the end when MJ's track 'Bad' was playing & Hal was dancing along it, the Warden was seen to play along with two of his guards. Their 'head shaking step' was taken from Saturday night live's "what is love" skit, which also starred `~1591~`. According to director `~15430~`, the film draws inspiration from !~bat_movie~!~Batman: The Movie~! and !~th_super_1~!~Superman~!. `~15435~`, `~15436~`, Producer `~9241~`'s children, have cameos as the children in Megamind's childhood. SPOILER:When Metro Man is discovered, Megamind at first believes he is a ghost and says "Speak, apparition." This line came from `~1531~`'s !~mst3k_hamlet~!~Hamlet~! (Scene 1, Act V).:SPOILER SPOILER:Megamind brings yellow roses to Metroman's statue after Metroman's apparent death - yellow roses are symbolic of friendship.:SPOILER SPOILER:Hal the cameraman is seen wearing a yellow "sad face" badge. This is a tribute to the `~12390~` comic !~watchmen_th~!~Watchmen~!, where a superhero (The Comedian) wore a yellow "smiley face" badge. Considering that The Comedian was an unbalanced vigilante, this could foreshadow Hal's corruption and instability.:SPOILER
