"Megamind Rules!" is a complete disappointment, falling far short of the original "Megamind" animated film. The series stars Keith Ferguson as Megamind, Laura Post as Roxanne, Josh Brener as Ol' Chum, and Maya Aoki Tuttle as Keiko, among others.

The show begins with a brief recap of the events of "Megamind vs. The Doom Syndicate," which was already criticized for its lackluster humor and outdated references. "Megamind Rules!" fails to improve upon its predecessor, continuing in the same vein. The visuals are uninspired and lack the originality of the first film, while the voice acting is mostly unremarkable.

The primary focus of the series seems to be promoting the upcoming "Megamind Rules!" streaming series. The plot revolves around Megamind's attempts to become a hero and defend Metro City, with the help of his friends and newfound allies.

One of the biggest issues with the show is its lack of originality. The jokes and references are often uninspired and fail to resonate with a younger audience. The slapdash humor falls flat, with jokes about the "Titanic," Simon and Garfunkel lyrics, and nose hair clippers feeling outdated and unfunny.

The voice acting is also a concern. While the original cast members return, their performances lack the energy and charm of the first film. The attempts at humor are often misguided, with poop and barf comedy feeling uninspired and unfunny.

Despite its flaws, the show does have some redeeming qualities. The inclusion of Keiko, a smart and brave young girl, adds a refreshing perspective to the story. The show also touches on important themes like bullying and teamwork, albeit in a superficial manner.

Overall, "Megamind Rules!" is a complete failure that fails to live up to the original's standards. It is a missed opportunity to engage a new generation of viewers with a fresh and entertaining story.
