  I love that none of Megamind's schemes actually result in anyone getting hurt. They're just over the top theatrics. Also brains.

  Just as you said at the beginning the only thing separating Megamind from being a hero was where he landed. Both Metroman and Megamind were the people who society made them and they got lost in the people they thought they were supposed to be. Love this movie. <br><br><br><br>Brains.

  So the big theory is that Metroman chose to pursue music since he couldn’t just get good at it like everything else. Basically, he has to work for it. So even more props to the guy.

  &quot;Is it bad that I want to punch this baby? Does this make me evil?&quot;<br><br>No. I can assure you that everyone who watched this movie wanted to punch baby-Metro Man at least once.

  &quot;I often think, who would I be without you?&quot; <br>That line is more serious than you think. He would be music man. He&apos;s not my fav character but he did want a right to chose.

  Fun fact: the way Megamind calls his city - MetrOcity - really sounds like &quot;atrocity&quot;. Comes with the theory that the real villain here is the society that trapped Metroman and Megamind in their roles

  Megamind was one of those niche movies that almost no-one saw but everyone who did loved it. It makes me so happy that people are finally starting to notice them. Megamind is actually one of the earlier members of a growing, and popular (at least in the U.S), trend of genre-parody movies which is why there were so many of those meta-jokes you mentioned.<br>also brains

  Hal is a perfect demonstration of a &quot;nice guy&quot;. Every woman encounters one at some point in their life and it&apos;s the reason we have to be suspicious of every guy.

  Hal was nothing but a creep from the start. Yeah a WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER for a party party suddenly its not a party its just you and me with some dip and q bounsey house. Which he lied about having just to get her to come over.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9UbBrqLGDs&amp;t=1022">17:02</a> because Megamind assumes this fight would be just like fighting Metro Man, while Hal GENUINELY wants to kill Megamind

  The origin story is a riff on the Superman origin story and also a social commentary that your circumstances determine what you become and how the world sees you.<br><br>- Megamind can take over Metro City that easily due to the cops acting out of learned helplessness. They&apos;re so used to Metro Man doing everything for them that in the face of a crisis they become utterly helpless. You can see this at the opening where two cops practice wildly irresponsible gun behaviour and shoot into the air, as well as in that scene where a cop has a gun trained on him and he&apos;s so utterly afraid of Megamind that Megamind can easily effectively disarm him.<br><br>- The name Hal Stewart is a combination of Hal Jordan and John Stewart both prominent Green Lanterns. Hal is the original Green Lantern in the DCU. John Stewart was the Green Lantern used for the JLA and JLU cartoons. He&apos;s also African-American.<br><br>- Hal is the Nice Guy trope before the Nice Guy trope was coined.<br><br>- The relationship between Megamind and Metro Man is more líke the relationship between a Face and a Heel than anything directly antagonistic.

  Absolute banger of a movie, and hands down one of your best reactions. I am cackling like a madman
