What the fuck was Metroman's problem?

My headcanon is that when Metroman was reading every self-help book he could find, he absorbed enough information about psychology to dissect every other person he was familiar with and came to the conclusion that he and Roxie weren't a match and shouldn't belong together and that Mega Mind was so obsessed with Metro City that he'd fight harder than anyone to protect it once he had it.

He was always expected to be a hero, but never got a chance to be anything but one. He always had to be Metro Man, even in his regular life. So he decided one day to “retire” Metro Man and find out who he was besides that

I doubt he thought that hard about it. He just quit.

Nibba the flashback reveal literally showed him doing nothing but thinking.

>I'm a bad guy. I dont save the day, I dont ride into sunset, I dont get the Girl.
>I'm going home.

jail is his home

The same as Megamind's, being typecast into a role that wasn't really suited to him just because it was expected.

I'm sure Musicman wasn't going to be some kind of sociopath who'd let the Earth get destroyed by a meteor or some shit, but he was one of the first to recognize that Megamind could easily do his job, if not do it better because Megamind clearly enjoyed it.

Titan didn't do anything wrong.

Inverse of Megamind. Society forced its expectations on him just because he's a space chad, the same way it pushed Megamind into villainy.

You can see him playing a ukulele or something back when he was in school so he was always into music.
And he always cared about showmanship more than people as evidenced by his juggling and throwing of babies and his "I love you too random citizen" line when he could've easily found out his name with his super speed. Plus the city was overreliant on him (cops were shooting into the air recklessly during the opening of the museum) and wouldn't let him just quit.

Except be an incel who only wanted Roxanne for superficial reasons. He didn't KNOW anything about her as a person and just projected what he thought she was, which just so happened to be his creepy dream girl. Imagine getting cucked by blue, big head Will Ferrel.

It's Tighten, don't do him the favor of giving him a cool name.

Give an incel a gun, they become a shooter.
Give an incel super powers, they become Titan.

He genuinely believed he could do it. And he was right.

Incels do anything wrong, just by existing.

>Except be an incel
you are literally indoctrinated at this point.

>what's a joke?

Who are you quoting?

Oh man I love the lesson DC keeps pushing "Superman isn't a boy scout, he's actually an asshole. Batman is a hypocrite too!!" and then they go with the extremity "Everyone has the potential to become a super villain, power corrupts!! Everyone is a shallow asshole and a shooter if you give them a gun"
Bitch please, that's only (you), only (you). You can tell a pathetic loser with the moral compass of a honeybadger wrote that. I especially loved Tighten's little emo speech "There are no heroes, there is no Metroman. there is no santa clause and toothfairy!!"

everyone with a working brain.

He found a more realistic ending than Homelander?

Goddamn. These kind of movies are such treasures with their hidden stuff. Just pay attention and you'll get foreshadowing.

If you go frame by frame after megamind says "FIRE!" you can see metroman's inage appear behind him as he's using his super speed to find himself.

Papa Kent was right in the end...

He wanted to do something else with his life rather than be the city's nanny.

I mean he's allowed to have his own life, as long as he isn't using his powers for crime and to hurt people that's his right

Megamind was the reason Tighten existed.

He literally used his timestop-level superspeed to think about his life for ages in a single instant, shown not only by the monologue but by the montage which includes reading countless books from the library related to the subject.
Also at the end he's secretly in the assembly crowd cheering on Megamind in a reprise of MetroMan's ceremony at the start of the film saying to himself he knew his buddy could do it.

If anything its good he's just a guy who wants to take time for himself, Tighten was near-unstoppable and he didn't even have a grasp on even a fraction of MM's powers.
With his display of "superspeed" he would literally be unstoppable if he went HURR EVIL SUPERMAN.

This isn't a DC movie.

You mean Tighten.

Wonder how long his sentence is. He did destroy a fucking building after all with quite possibly hundreds of fatalities.

Plus if shit REALLY got bad, he'd probably help out.

Hmm no. People evacuated in time.

Capeshit is retarded and I'm glad this movie embraces that

>Still plenty of time to play his music.

Only in total. In reality he would've been bothered every few minutes, only for a few seconds but still enough to distract him from what he was doing. Sometimes you just need a few hours uninterrupted to do your thing.

he did everything wrong.

He’s Jonah Hill
That’s 500000 mistakes in one

He has Flash levels of speed, no reason why he can't always solve problems that quickly and get back to his music

He doesn’t want to solve everyone’s problems anymore, he wants to make music

then why doesn't he change his shtick? change his hero name to Music man and play music everywhere he goes even while fighting crime

Are you an idiot.

He still experiences everything he does, do you want to live life chained to cleaning up every little spill a school full of retards make?

god he's so hot

Because he wants to do something else with his life than fighting crime, you retard. Having superpowers isn't reason enough to be forced into being a superhero, just like how you could be doing so much more for humanity right now instead of browsing Yea Forums.

Maybe he doesn't want to make a performance everywhere he goes

But he doesn't want to, he feels like the role of a super hero was forced upon him and came to a realization that he and Megamind are in a sort of loop where everything repeats over and over, he got tired of that and decided to rethink his life

Megamind is cuter

Well, he lived there since childhood.

He never wanted to be a hero and basically was forced into the role to fight someone who never really wanted to be a villain.

Tighten also wasn't his problem - Megamind had created the problem and in turn Megamind had to clean it up. Metroman also clearly didn't think he had it in him to beat Tighten.

That's not true, Metroman could casually use his powers in ways Tighten was never even capable of imagining.

At first it was deflating that "No-one's ever REALLY gone" but in retrospect it was nice for Metroman to give Megamind that pep talk. He's a truly good guy which is why he never really hated Megamind because he saw they were both in the same boat.

People speaking like someone is obligated to be anything other than a regular guy just because they were born of superpowers reminds me of something.

Imagine Civil War Iron Man trying to make MetroMan REGISTER and be conscripted into America's Superhero Army after he had retired.

Didn't Hal randomly become a good guy in some random spinoff videogame of the movie?

Mostly so they would have another playable character I guess

midlife crisis

It's about choice, just because I'm capable of being a chef, better than everyone around me, that doesn't mean I have to become one. I'm not obligated to do that whether I want to or not, that's why capitalism is so great.

Next time I watch this I'll have to check that out to see if it's true.

>Imagine Civil War
I try to forget it ever happened.

At least it was better than Civil War 2

Civil War 1 spawned OMD.
