Complete Text from the Back of Megamind Unmasked!

[megam1nd]

Yes, I'm back -- and this time with something of substance! :D So a little while back someone posted up here what they could make out of the back of the Megamind Unmasked book Megamind was reading in the library with Roxanne, but they weren't able to make out everything. So last night while I was watching the film on blu-ray on my nice BIG 47-inch

That is so cool! wouldn't this work in cannon with stories? What if Metz and Megs went to a therapy session with this guy and came out with different viewpoints? Megamind could find it a load of unhelpful hogwash while Metro Man feels like pursuing it for his own benefit.

[megam1nd]

Oh, I know it! I was thinking about that. I mean it would definitely make sense that they would try to send Megamind to therapy in the hopes of "reforming" him, and Metro Man too if for no other reason than to help him de-stress and keep his cool at the end of the day. And I agree -- I think Megamind would have thought it useless and laughed at them, while it may have had a more positive -- and lasting -- effect on Metro Man. Hmmm... Someone should write a fic about this... ;P

I'd noticed the summary switch, (and even used it as a clue on the crossword puzzle that I made for the Advent Calendar back in December!), but I'm super-impressed that you transcribed the whole thing!

Like with the newspaper articles, they apparently just used stock text. We are probably the only group who would think to look at stuff like that!

Good eye, dear! :)

[megam1nd]

Thank you! I thought you guys might like to see what it said. (I never got to do the crossword, so I didn't know you had it in there; sorry! XD I was too sick with bronchitis over the holidays to really enjoy them or do half of what I'd planned... I wanted to draw the nativity scene with Megamind's people someone had prompted, something I've been wanting to draw since I wrote my fic "Old Friends," or even sooner from the dream that inspired that fic [yep, all I did was write my dream down for it, LOL], but I didn't get to do that either. :( Oh well, what are you gonna do? I guess it'll have to be for next year... Unless people want Christmas art in July, LOL! XD) And yes, I think we are the only group obsessed enough to look for these little details, heh! ;P I love being a Megamind fan!

[megam1nd]

Yeah, maybe I will then! ^_^

Okay, I wonder if this was a mistake? This is obviously for the "happiest me I can be" book. Why is it on Megamind Unmasked? ???

[megam1nd]

I think it's either a joke, a nod to the book Metro Man later reads, or really just filler text they'd already compiled they decided to use rather than writing something new up, LOL. XP Who knows! It's a fun bit of trivia either way though. ;P

[patches365]

It's not quite stock text. It's partially modified, but generally the same as, the text on the back of the actual self-help book Five Simple Steps to Emotional Healing.

[megam1nd]

Ha ha! I knew this sounded an awful lot like something they may have tweaked from something else! Thanks for sharing that! I never would have found it myself (I just don't read those kinds of books). :)

[patches365]

Honestly, I just Googled the text. XD

[megam1nd]

LOL, well, that works too! I never thought of that, haha! XP

Hmmmm....further proof that Megamind and Metro Man live in a superhero/supervillain universe. Megamind may be the main villain or the only villain in Metro City, but he's not alone.

Though I suspect Metro Man is the only hero in Metro City. He has to be with a museum being dedicated to him and all the stuff around the city that bears his image and likeness.

[megam1nd]

Yes, that and if there were other heroes besides Metro Man, Megamind could not have simply waltzed into City Hall to take over the way he did; he'd have defeated one hero only to have to face down another.

Don't you love finding little things like this? ;)

[alpha_centari27]

Well...assuming there are other heroes besides Metro Man maybe the reason we don't know of them is because none of them are no where as strong as "the defender of Metro City" and Megamind could have subdued them if they tried to stop him.

[megam1nd]

Possibly. You never know! ;P
