  There is no Easter Bunny,<br>There is no Tooth Fairy,<br>And there are no Megamind sequels!

  I love how his relationship with Metroman in the beginning felt more like pro wrestling than genuine animosity, with Megamind playing the role of heel to the hilt. It was very entertaining and did a good job showing that both of them were playing the roles society had put on them.

  If you ask me, MegaMind was Never really a Villain. He just got dealt the wrong cards in life. the Only &apos;&apos;good&apos;&apos; he ever experienced from earth was in jail. where the &apos;&apos;bad&apos;&apos; guys resided. so he thought that being a villain was what he was supposed to be. &nbsp;but i think he never once was. and the movie finally makes him understand and feel that.

  One of the saddest moments in the series is when Megamind says “I’m going home” and then turns himself back into prison

  this reminds me of a quote by Leslie Odam Jr. &nbsp;&quot;If we were all judged for the worst thing we did on our worst day we weould all be villains&quot;

  I feel like you&apos;re confusing &quot;antagonist&quot; and &quot;villain&quot;. Megamind is a stereotypical comic book supervillain, but he&apos;s the protagonist of his own movie. That&apos;s what make this movie so special and different on the surface. On the inside, it&apos;s the classic &quot;protagonist has to overcome his fallings and misconceptions&quot;, the classic want vs need.

  Megamind being the lead and the film being a comedy helped. I&apos;d like to see more sympathetic &quot;villains&quot; in non-comedic family animated films who aren&apos;t the protagonist.

  I absolutely adore that people are still talking about the original movie and its brilliance even after the disaster sequel and series were released. Thank you.

  Megamind isn&apos;t really a villain. He just enjoys the attention and spectacle of fighting Metro Man.

  Above all, writing a sympathetic villain is all about &quot;PRESENTATION!!!!!&quot;
