10 Movie Secrets Hidden In Single Frames
5. Metro Man's Super Speed On Full Display - Megamind
Sitting as one of the finest twists you'll find being committed to an animated caper, or any big screen adventure for that matter, the reveal of Metro Man actually being alive all along in the latter stages of Dreamwork's Megamind left more than a few jaws dropping.
Far from being an out-of-nowhere occurrence, though, eagle-eyed fans managed to land on the exact moment the Brad Pitt-voiced hero put his super-speed plan into action.
When taking in the scene which depicts Metro Man and Megamind on two projections earlier in the flick, with the former in an abandoned observatory and the latter in his lair, there's a blink-and-you'll-miss-it beat that shows a flash from Metro Man's screen to Megamind's. This is supposed to represent the sheer speed of the eventual rapid moments of reflection that would pave the way for Music Man to become a thing post faking of the superhero's death via nursing school skeleton prop.
It's honestly quick enough to completely overlook should you find yourself reaching for a handful of popcorn at the wrong moment. But Metro Man's eventual revelation later in the day definitely lines up with the swift events that unfold earlier in the flick.
