Megamind (2010)
1 stupidity
Directed by: Tom McGrath
Starring: Brad Pitt, Will Ferrell, Jonah Hill, Tina Fey
Continuity mistake: When Megamind activates different "torturing devices" on Roxanne, She mentions about the spider and Megamind comes near her but that would be impossible because it wasn't shown that Megamind deactivated the Alligator trap.
Trivia: During Megamind and Metroman's final battle in the beginning of the film, just after Megamind yells at Minion to fire the death ray, Metroman can be seen (from the crowd's point of view on the giant monitors) to fade out slightly from the observatory and fade in just behind Megamind's right shoulder. This corresponds to, and foreshadows, Metroman's flashback shown later. (00:17:50)
Question: Throughout the film, Megamind transforms himself to take the appearance of other characters. Early on in the film, these characters are killed (or otherwise disposed of), allowing Megamind to take their appearance. Near the end of the film, Megamind takes Metro Man's appearance, but Metro Man is not dead (we see him as retired after faking his death, then specifically in the crowd scene at the Megamind museum opening). Is this an error, or is there some other reason why Megamind doesn't need to kill Metro Man to take his appearance?
Answer: The characters are only 'disposed of' so that they won't be able to reveal Megamind's deception. Remember, the warden wasn't killed and neither was Megamind when the warden was transformed into him. It is not necessary for the device to function that the individual being copied be eliminated.
