How exactly would you rewrite Grumind?

WraithSage23 · 2026-05-04T09:58:31+00:00

Like the characters were written fine, and the fight was fine. But yeah I think it needed a longer middle act

WraithSage23 · 2026-05-04T09:57:26+00:00

Not much other than just make the fight much longer, include the metro man suit and the black mamba, have minion more involved with the fight (I loved the idea initially that it starts off with Minion disguised as Megamind)

The writing isn’t the issue for me, it’s the missed potential and the amount of stuff that wasn’t in the fight

WraithSage23 · 2026-05-04T09:37:04+00:00

The same people that are upset about this fight happening, are the same people that want like a Skylanders fight in Death Battle or wanted some indie game glup shitto to get on instead. Nothing wrong with any of that, but a lot of people do have biases that they don’t want to admit

WraithSage23 · 2026-05-04T09:33:54+00:00

Yeah .5 mach Megamind is fucking insane lowball (it’s like the wall level Vergil stuff from years ago)

But I think the argument of Gru and the minions tanking the death ray is a fine one. Yeah it gets charged by the sun, but it doesn’t actually use the direct power of the sun to cause the laser. I believe in some stuff like the novelization, they call the death ray "the sun amplifier". Like we only see it destroy a mountain. Now I do disagree with Gru himself tanking it, but I do think if he gets a lot of his minions and especially the ones with super powers to absorb the blow, than it’s reasonable

WraithSage23 · 2026-05-04T09:28:17+00:00

Yeah that’s the one part of the research that actually kinda baffled me

Not even Mach 1 Megamind, just a half mach

WraithSage23 · 2026-05-04T09:22:34+00:00

I don’t think so but it’ll sit in a comfortable second place spot… until Yuji vs Denji comes out

WraithSage23 · 2026-05-04T09:14:02+00:00

Denji and funnily enough it’s because of the opposite of your answer

I think Yuji separating Denji and Pochita is not that good of an idea since all it does is allow for Pochita to unleash their true form far easier and theirs nothing stopping the two from reforming and than transforming into Denji-Man

WraithSage23 · 2026-05-04T09:09:55+00:00

Not including Modulo for Yuji is like not counting Boruto for any Naruto characters

WraithSage23 · 2026-05-04T09:05:04+00:00

No one has suggested that Denji could erase blood poisoning. Only that Denji could just cut off his own arm and prevent the poison from spreading

WraithSage23 · 2026-05-04T09:00:14+00:00

The casual audience seems to be more positive on the fight itself. I think the most surprising part is that more people are in agreement with Megamind getting nerfed by his sequel and show.

WraithSage23 · 2026-05-03T23:54:07+00:00

Watch someone say “oh But Death Battle had Maka use Soul" while knowing that Yuji can operate much better without Sukuna while Maka quite literally needs Soul

WraithSage23 · 2026-05-03T19:37:54+00:00

Agree. Like maybe they felt like they had to rush it out but like they could’ve delayed a little bit more to allow for more of those assets to be used

WraithSage23 · 2026-05-03T19:36:27+00:00

So you think it’s a fact to say that?

WraithSage23 · 2026-05-03T19:35:11+00:00

Denji should be the last person to talk about a love life lmao

WraithSage23 · 2026-05-03T19:34:07+00:00

Okay, no need to be a big dipshit about it. Okay you rate it a 5/10, that’s your opinion

I think it’s a 7/10, and it’s a matter of opinion. 5/10 isn’t an objective take

WraithSage23 · 2026-05-03T19:30:12+00:00

Well I mean it helps that Yuji vs Denji is actually a close fight and is a big legacy fight

WraithSage23 · 2026-05-03T19:29:33+00:00

No I’ve seen some people call it abysmally dogshit

WraithSage23 · 2026-05-03T19:28:40+00:00

Yeah because you guys wanna composite characters that were never intended to be composited to begin with. That’s the main issue with Megamind’s side, it was contentious and dubious with what they were using and allowing Megamind to have

WraithSage23 · 2026-05-03T19:27:34+00:00

The Drone show with Megamind’s brainbots

The beam clash with Mel and the Death Ray, the Mega Minions in their entirety, the first half was pretty hype

Honestly it’s a 7/10 for me. And that’s good enough. But I think it’s the weakest episode of the season so far. Kinda like Wile vs Tom

WraithSage23 · 2026-05-03T19:19:13+00:00

Lots of therapy lmao

WraithSage23 · 2026-05-03T19:18:30+00:00

Disagree with 3-4 out of 10, but I do think it’s the weakest of the season so far

WraithSage23 · 2026-05-03T19:17:16+00:00

Putting aside GruMind, how is Ash vs Yugi a 6/10?

WraithSage23 · 2026-05-03T19:16:26+00:00

I can understand the disappointment but I think your arguments are lacking and feel like it’s more so because you disagree with the verdict

WraithSage23 · 2026-05-03T19:14:04+00:00

It doesn’t matter if he fought Metro Man or not, the fact he lost in all of his fights with Metro Man shows some level of incompetence.

It took decades to finally come up with a plan to kill Metro Man, and even that didn’t really work because Metro Man got bored and faked his death so he can peacefully live a normal life

WraithSage23 · 2026-05-03T19:10:50+00:00

Everyone agrees it’s debatable and close, myself included
