Megamind Rules! – Season 1 Episode 2 Recap & Review

The Villainous Origin Story of Mr.Donut

Megamind Rules! Episode 2 begins with Roxanne bringing Megamind for a surprise and revealing it is Mr. Donut store. Mr. Donut gives him a Megadonut as a tribute to Megamind. He then takes them on a tour to explore the kitchen but prohibits eating inside.

As they go around the kitchen, Megamind fights his urge to eat the Megadonut. He finally succumbs to his urges, but Roxanne forces him to stop. He accidentally drops, jelly on the floor, causing Mr. Donut to slip and fall into the dough mixer. Megamind cuts off the legs of the mixer and saves Mr. Donut, but ends up spilling the dough with him. After the doctors examine him, Megamind offers an apology, but Mr. Donut threatens payback.

Following that, Megamind makes a video for social media claiming Mr. Donut is turning evil. He tries to twist Mr. Donut’s words and also edits in fake audio to make it suit his narrative. Roxanne defends Mr. Donut. Megamind heads off to check on Mr. Donut while Keiko and Roxanne team up to investigate further.

While fixing the donut machine, Megamind gives Mr. Donut a laser gauntlet. Unfortunately, the laser gauntlet won’t come off so he heads off to the bank with the gauntlet on. Minutes later, they see him on the news as a villain in a bank. Megamind rushes to stop him and realizes he is not evil yet. They try to take off the Gauntlet, but it won’t come off. A stone falls on his head rendering Mr. Donut unconscious and they rush him to a secret warehouse.

Regaining consciousness, Mr. Donut has lost his memory. Megamind leaves him alone to find a way to help him. Just then, the Gofish Gang pops out and recruits him. They invite him to join them on their next robbery and Megamind catches wind of this.

Dr. Glazer Donuts claims they can teach Megamind a lesson as he has his contact number. They call him to the hideout. Reaching there, the Gofish gang hides while Dr. Glazer Donuts convinces Megamind he isn’t a villain. Just then, a net traps Megamind and Chum and hangs them in mid-air. An opening opens beneath them with sharks circling and the Gofish gang encourages Dr. Glazer Donuts to cut the rope.

Roxanne and Keiko investigate the shop to find where the note came from. Just then, Mr. Donut’s wife enters, trying to decorate the shop. They tell her about the situation and rush to Megamind. Mr. Donut’s wife arrives and convinces Mr. Donut to drop what he is doing. He saves Megamind and turns on the Gofish Gang at the end of Megamind Rules! Episode 2.

The Episode Review

In Megamind Rules! Episode 2, Megamind mistakes a supporter of his for a villain and eventually sees him turning into one due to his actions. It also vaguely shows how assumptions can sometimes change the course of what is supposed to happen. In this episode, Megamind’s assumption of who Mr. Donut is turns Mr. Donut into the villain he isn’t because of his course of action.

Fortunately, Mr. Donut has his wife and kids to pull him back onto the right track, and having his heart in the right place, it doesn’t take a lot of convincing.
