@setepenre-set (look at that 7th one especially!)
cd in a microwave
it looks like an ancient rune activating its magic
Wouldn’t that be fantastic though? A cyberpunk story that deals with ancient magic that HAD gotten out but- ah- we were smart- we sealed it better. We put it in a CD. CD’s are outdated- nobody could ever release the monster.
…Or could they.

this is how magic works.
@setepenre-set Megamind tech!
#minion as Megamind#you can sooooo tell it’s minion#his expressiveness in disguise isn’t anywhere near as vibrant as Megamind’s#also this intense face and smile is very clearly a Minion expression
@thestarsaresilver: The eyes are green, though. Aren’t Minion’s brown? I thought eye color doesn’t change when using the holowatch.
You are correct! But Minion, in this scene, isn’t wearing the watch. He reaches down and twists something on the chest of his suit to activate/deactivate the disguise. Megamind has the watch.
When Minion is disguised as the Warden, he is wearing the watch, and his eyes are brown whereas the Warden’s eyes are actually blue/gray. And Megamind, as Metro Man, keeps his own green eyes just as he did when he was Bernard.
So it’s the same disguise tech in this scene, just built into Minion’s suit.
It was probably a production choice because Megamind’s green eyes are so distinctive, the audience would likely have noticed the discrepancy and then the following scenes lose tension because we know everyone’s actual identity. I think Dreamworks just hand waved the minor inconsistency there for the sake of narrative impact.
But.
I headcanon that while they were putting everything else together for the Presentation, Megamind created and perfected the disguise tech in Minion’s suit to protect him, so his eye color wouldn’t give him away to Titan (who would have immediately made fish nuggets out of him to get back at Megamind.)
My personal headcanon is just that a complete scan takes a lot longer. This is somewhat supported by how the movie treats voices–when Megamind quickly scans Bernard, the watch doesn’t have enough time to get a voice sample the way it did when Megamind impersonated the warden, so Meganard has Will Ferrell’s voice, instead of Ben Stiller’s. So, a scan that includes eye tracking might take longer still, long enough that the scanee might have to actually sit for it. Which could explain why Minion’s suit can project Megamind’s eyes, but not the warden’s.
Alternatively, eye tracking might simply require more physical hardware than can fit in a wrist watch? I’m not sure about this one, since if anyone has teeny-tiny computing down pat, it’s Megamind.
