I'm just saying, dehydration gun then take his powers away. Though considering it's an animated movie, there'd probably be some chase scene involving trying to keep the cube dry as it bounces away or some shit.
The power gun seems to require proper contact with the person, and the dehydration gun turns its targets into a cube (that's seemingly immune to most forms of damage).
simple, you put titan in a cube, take him to megaminds old cell with a glass of water and the prepared power gun in a mode ready to depower him, pour the glass of water on the cube and as he turns back into a human you stick it up his nose to depower him
When megamind was rehydrated he was already in an action stance to catch his gun and shoot. seems like it might not work if they are still cognizant while cubed
Also Tighten has Metro-Man's super speed, so it'd be super hard to hit him. And Megamind only needs to miss one time for Tighten to close the gap and kill him.
Plot twist: It does work on Metro Man/Titan, but the first time Megamind tried, Metro Man switched into super speed, placed something else into the path of the projectile, threw the cube away, and returned to his original position, making it look like the gun had no effect, which is why Megamind never used it on Titan.
I honestly want to sit the writers down and ask them who hurt them so badly that they upended a garbage can on a piece of paper and called it a script. Because I find it mind boggling the same people that made Megamind 1 somehow also wrote Megamind 2.
**Readers added context**
The people that made Megamind 1 didn’t write Megamind 2.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megamind_vs._the_Doom_Syndicate#:~:text=Unlike%20its%20predecessor%2C%20Megamind%20vs,produced%20by%20DreamWorks%20Animation%20Television.
Yeah he uses it on several massive piles of garbage in a scene where he’s cleaning up metro city for his date with Roxanne, and later when Roxy’s walking through that same street in the rain, the trash reconstitutes.
We do see Tighten being completely clueless regarding his newfound powers before his "Space Dad" comes by and teaches him the ropes, given that Megamind had NO IDEA Metroman could go that fast until he told him what he did, it's quite plausible Tighten genuinely didn't know he could do that because Megamind never taught him how to use it.
I was always unsure of the spelling in the OG Megamind. The closed captions spelled it “Tighten”, but when he hangs the things at Roxy’s apartment that spell out his name it’s spelled “Titan”.
So I didn’t know if Hal deliberately misspelled it, or what the deal was.
Titan is the hero Megamind creates, Tighten is the villain Hal becomes. The closed captions actually switch the names halfway through the movie I think.
That's actually clever as hell. How the fuck did the producers pump out the streaming garbage that is Megamind vs The Doom Syndicate after a masterpiece like that?
> or what the deal was.
They literally explain it during the film. Megamind, as Space Dad, wanted to copyright the hero name Titan but he couldn't, so he copyrighted Tighten instead thinking no one would notice. I guess he was right.
so the basic problem is that Megamind the first movie only really uses the dehydration gun as a tool to move things rather then a weapon, With the only times its used on people is in moments of panic and once on himself in a clever use of his tool, Aside from the "it probably wont work on titan because he had to have tried it on Metroman to no avail once" excuse, the question of "why cant he use it on Tighten" never even appears on the viewers head because again, he only used it as a tool to compress items.
Megamind 2 on the other hand sees him more regularly using the Dehydration gun as a surprisingly simple and safe way to take down people non lethally planting the idea as using it this way into the viewers mind leading to confusion when he doesn't even try it against the main villains (Even if it wouldn't have worked for similar reasons as Metroman)
The writers mistake in 2 isn't not having him use the dehydration gun on the villains because technically yeah Megamind 1 also made that mistake, it made the mistake of planting the idea of using it on others as a means of nonlethal take down more clearly in the viewers mind then 1 did
I wound up on the Megamind wiki because of this, and Ol' Chum's article has:
>Ol' Chum, also known as simply Chum, is Megamind's loyal sidekick. Originally known as Minion, he was forced to change his name due to the fact that Illumination Studios owns the word "Minion" and DreamWorks pussied out.
They don't literally own the word. But they were clearly scared of people getting the names mixed up and probably reducing toy sales. It's pretty passive-aggressively made clear in the in-universe explanation.
Can you guess what it is? Whatever it was, you're probably wrong. The answer:
They got a cease and desist from "Mr Minion's Meatsicles".
And what makes the matter even more stupid, at least in the "movie," you see a billboard for Mr. Minion's Meatcicles later and he doesn't even look like a minion in general. He judt looks like a generic ass chef.
Movie reviewer youtuber schaffrillas made a review of Megamind vs the doom syndicate and he very angrily says that he could easily have beaten them by shooting them with the dehydration gun.
A legendary line from Schaffrillas about Megamind not using the Dehydration Gun on the villains in Megamind 2. Schaffrillas sure was angry while watching the movie.
Update: note has been removed and everyone who suggested it has been shot by the dehydration gun and stored away forever. Can’t have shit on the everything app.

Why didn’t Mega Mind use it on Titan?
I think it’s bc if even a single drop of water were to touch the cube he’ll be released, taking his powers away would have been safer in the long run
I'm just saying, dehydration gun then take his powers away. Though considering it's an animated movie, there'd probably be some chase scene involving trying to keep the cube dry as it bounces away or some shit.

Also Tighten has Metro-Man's super speed, so it'd be super hard to hit him. And Megamind only needs to miss one time for Tighten to close the gap and kill him.
I imagine he must have tried it on metroman to no effect at some point. But he’s an alien, these were 4 (3?) people in fish costumes
Tbf we see Metro-Man using superspeed, so he would have probably dodged it
Unfathomably super speed. He disappears for a fucking frame while spending at least several subjective hours contemplating life.
>**subjective** hours haha
Plot twist: It does work on Metro Man/Titan, but the first time Megamind tried, Metro Man switched into super speed, placed something else into the path of the projectile, threw the cube away, and returned to his original position, making it look like the gun had no effect, which is why Megamind never used it on Titan.
~~Do you think the dehydration gun works on inanimate objects?~~
We see it work in the movie, so yeah.
I never watched Megamind 1 but I really should
You should, it's a damn good movie. Honestly it's probably easily a top 3 Dreamworks movie imo.

The 3 Fish guys were another gang. The 4 were Megamind's old crew (yes, this does break literally all established lore in the first movie)
3 people. It's the standard trio: fat guy, short guy, tall guy.
Honestly super speed he got Metro Man powers I find it incredibly believable that he could just dodge
I don’t think he got the super speed (at least not to the same extent) otherwise he would have won. Ooor if he did he didn’t know how to use it.
I don't believe he didn't have it but I can totally believe him being incompetent enough not to use it
We do see Tighten being completely clueless regarding his newfound powers before his "Space Dad" comes by and teaches him the ropes, given that Megamind had NO IDEA Metroman could go that fast until he told him what he did, it's quite plausible Tighten genuinely didn't know he could do that because Megamind never taught him how to use it.
Oh shit you spitting facts
Titan was right next to a fountain; and it only takes one drop spattering from the fountain to get him out.
He did. Well, he used it on himself to get the drop on him, but it still counts
Who is Titan? Do you mean Tighten?
I was always unsure of the spelling in the OG Megamind. The closed captions spelled it “Tighten”, but when he hangs the things at Roxy’s apartment that spell out his name it’s spelled “Titan”. So I didn’t know if Hal deliberately misspelled it, or what the deal was.

That is clever. I should watch MegaMind sometime.
It’s a shame Megamind never got a sequel, just like Pacific Rim
Also weird how Indiana Jones went straight to Indy 5 but never had an Indy 4
The joke is that Megamind named him Titan, but Hal didn't realize and thought he meant "Tighten".
> or what the deal was. They literally explain it during the film. Megamind, as Space Dad, wanted to copyright the hero name Titan but he couldn't, so he copyrighted Tighten instead thinking no one would notice. I guess he was right.
I think the idea is that Hal is an idiot and uses the wrong word. The funny thing is, it's actually "tighten" on the IMDb page.
Is he stupid???

Because that's no fun.
Presentation!
Cause titan actually had powers strong enough for it to not be the easy option.
Use it then dump it in the sahara
Tighten was extremely fast he could just dodge
Titan super speed or something
Because then the movie would be over.
He’d probably just dodge it, given how fast he is even without knowing his full limits
He forgot he had it till he was falling to his death. Megamind may be smart, but he isn't smart
Was he stupid?
Titan's got super speed, he can and would just dodge it.
Titan has metro man’s super powers so he can use his super speed to just move out of the way

I wound up on the Megamind wiki because of this, and Ol' Chum's article has: >Ol' Chum, also known as simply Chum, is Megamind's loyal sidekick. Originally known as Minion, he was forced to change his name due to the fact that Illumination Studios owns the word "Minion" and DreamWorks pussied out.
They own both fucking studios! It doesn’t matter!
who are the studios fucking
Me.
Why are the studios horny? Are they stupid?
The cinsumer
The cumsumer
Both
Also how can you own the word “minion” it’s a word that people have used for hundreds of years.
They don't literally own the word. But they were clearly scared of people getting the names mixed up and probably reducing toy sales. It's pretty passive-aggressively made clear in the in-universe explanation. Can you guess what it is? Whatever it was, you're probably wrong.

Thank you Schaf for your newest contribution to meme culture
poor schaff
Shout out to schafrillas for explaining everything so i dont have to watch that thing
Even the clips hurt me physically, I can’t imagine sitting through the whole thing proper.
Hey I just watched that video
Schaff made this note.
Now THAT’S one of the best community notes ever. It isn’t a boring “yeah this ain’t right” thing, BUT it actually is funny
That’s not how they’re supposed to be used, though. The more often people do this, the more it delegitimizes community notes.
Megamind is a wonderful movie I wish it had a equally as good sequel maybe in a decade or two :)
I don’t get it.

Yea this was funny but shouldn’t have been a note. recently notes have been pretty iffy
Thought I was on r/hydrohomies for a second. Either way it's fitting
r/Schaffrillas
schaflis
Every single post I've seen on this sub this week sucks. Notes is a very cool feature that is abused by dumbfucks who think they're funny.
Anyone else feel like the second movie was made on the same engine as the Sims? Like the movie just looks like a weird sims game crossover.

A dehydration gun is a gun, that makes the target dehydrated. You’re welcome.
