    I think you're underestimating the power of KHV. Even if we temporarily stop posting in this, it'll always come back. Because it's been forgotten and brought back before, off and on again, since 2015. Time might be a hindrance, but it won't stop us completely. It could take years, but it will be completed (unless the site itself closes down, of course) because you're also underestimating the power of the Last to Leave. Like seriously lol we've all been here for a decade or longer and we have no intention of giving up anytime soon. So it'll take a long time with just a handful of us. Oh well. It gives us something to talk about at least lol

    Well, Dreamworks itself, for one lol. From Wikipedia: In April 2011, DreamWorks Animation's CEO, Jeffrey Katzenberg, commented that the studio did not have plans to produce future movie genre parodies like Shark Tale, Monsters vs. Aliens, and Megamind, saying that these films "all shared an approach and tone and idea of parody, and did not travel well internationally. We don't have anything like that coming on our schedule now."

    Meanwhile, even though it performed pretty well in the box office and received generally positive reviews from general audiences, it was largely criticized as being 'unoriginal,' with critics saying things like "it regurgitates plot points from earlier animated efforts, and isn't quite as funny as it should be," "This set-up is bright and amusing, even if it does feel recycled from bits and pieces of such recent animated landmarks as The Incredibles with its superpowers and Despicable Me with its villain," "What this raucous 3D animated fun house lacks in originality (think ******* child of The Incredibles and Despicable Me) it makes up for in visual and vocal wit," "You have seen all this before," "Though enlivened by some moderately clever twists on the superhero-movie template, Megamind never shakes off a feeling of been-there-spoofed-that," and "Do we really need Megamind when Despicable Me is around?"

    So basically, the general feeling for Megamind was that it was little more than a moderately funny parody, instead of a clever movie that subverted tropes and actually had a pretty good, relatable message.

    Pine is one of the group, yes. Pine, Midnight, and Loxare are all members along with me and Glen, though he's been largely absent as of late. Once upon a time we had a large crew roster, but it's been just us five for quite a few years now and we're all in it for the long haul XD

    Okay but seriously can we talk about how underrated that movie is?? It's seriously great and idk why so many people hate on it. Like I know that it came out around the same time as Despicable Me and it was outshone by it at the time, but between the two movies, I think Megamind aged so much better and I still watch it all the time whereas the thought of Despicable Me only brings to mind crappy facebook Minion memes, and no desire to rewatch it.

    tbh I don't think I ever participated in these threads before so I have no idea who has or hasn't. I mentioned Midnight and Glen because they were active on a different forum section along with Pine, Loxare and myself, and I thought it would be mildly fun to get us all together again lol even if it's in a thread we haven't been active in before. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
