    I saw a video with theory that the whole thing between Megamind and Metromen was created by government to protect the society from second one. Like, think a little about it. Megamind can harm nothing without resources, but Metromen (as Titan shows us) it's something like natural disaster. With wrong education we can get a Homelender (but literally unbeatable). So, the government build a school where Megamind can antagonize Metroman and don't really fight against the blue one until he get to his perfect villain shape. That was needed to give Metromen purpose in his life: to fight against Megamind and gain fame instead of becoming supervillian himself. P.S. Ways to make fight with Titan 10000 times easier: Metroman beat him with his superspeed (to make believeble illusion Megamind can use some of his blasters to shot Titan every time Metroman punches him); Metroman can beat Titan and use shapeshift-watch to turn himself into a Megamind in somekind of exosceleton. And everyone will think that Megamind did it (so Metroman can leave and has life of his dream)

    I don’t think Megamind killed anyone. I think Metroman would’ve put him down if he did. His 88 life sentences are from property damage, breaking out of prison over and over again. Theft, and obviously kidnapping. And clearly he’s not any threat to Roxanne with her being perfectly comfortable with the circumstances. He did it SO much it added up to that because how constant he does it. He’s basically the ultimate troll rather than a proper villain.

    And if Tighten had actually managed to kill anyone, it would look pretty bad for Metroman too, hiding out while an actual superpowered villain rampages. Because he could toast Tighten with one superpowered arm tied behind his back. I'm going to assume the good people of Metro City are exceptional at evacuating in a hurry.

    No, property damage can't usually lead up to that severe a penalty. More likely though he would receive sentences for public endangerment and possibly acts of terror (terrorism). In the real world the latter would probably end up under federal jurisdiction and be dealt with very differently, so no idea how they would manage that in a comic book world. My general assumption is that every comic hero world has universally outlawed the death sentence, because none of it makes any sense otherwise. Stacked life sentences means that he was convicted of 87 different crimes, each carrying a life sentence likely making any of them a murder, especially since it was increased to 88 after having "killed" MetroMan. So if he were ever exonerated of any individual crime he still has to serve a life sentence for the rest. To be set free he would have to be either fully exonerated or pardoned of each conviction.

Megamind and Minion keep their natural eye colour no matter who they turn into with their weird tech watch. So you can , once you know that , can clearly tell who is who without it being TOO obvious . Also Roxanne's dress changes from red (the opposite of blue) , to purple (red and blue mixed together) , to finally being blue towards the end , signifying her relationship with/opinion on Megamind throughout the movie. Also Also , Can we appreciate that Megamind knew Metroman well enough , or at least had fought him enough to know what kind of things he would say (while disguised as Metroman)

    Probably for kidnapping, too. Been reading a lot of extra Megamind stuff lately and there are a lot of little background things that don't really get addressed directly in the movie. Like when she asks if Megamind has kidnapped Roxanne hundreds of times? Yes. Yes, he has. And they've known each other since high school. The citizens of Metro City also love the hero/villain stuff. They know it's like a performance, so it's like going to see the light show each time. They even consider it safe enough to take babies to lol. However, when Titan/Tighten shows up, that's when everyone is afraid. No one is really afraid of Megamind because Megamind's not REALLY going to hurt them. He's more like a moving rock concert laser show with an epic battle at the end. Even when he takes over, he doesn't actually DO anything. Just leaves the citizens to do whatever they want while he graffitis and steals stuff.

    The thing I love about Megamind is he's never physically hurt anyone on purpose, he only has his rivalry with Metro Man that causes property damage and sometimes the kidnapping of Roxanne Ritchi, who knows him well enough by this point to understand he's not a threat to her life despite all his appearances to look as evil as possible. It really shows you that Megamind was never a villain, he just wanted to be loved like Metro Man. When he fell in love with Roxanne, it was through pretending he was "Bernard" and not the villain that she hated. He was too focused on finally receiving love and affection to realize how horrible it was to continue in that lie. So when he realized he messed up and Hal was actually a danger to her life, which Megamind had never been (until he'd decided to create a hero), he regained his fighting spirit. What used to be his love for banter with Metro Man, became his protectiveness for Roxanne.

    Awesome movie! This movie touches very interesting themes. One of them is the importance of struggle to obtain happiness. I said 'struggle' and not 'purpose' and i'm goint to clarify why. The message is that we only can appreciate things obtained with effort. We know that the movie is about Megamind finding himself bored and melancholic after 'killing' Metroman, but the same thing happened to Metroman before. We can see how insanely powerful Metroman is. For him, almost nothing is a challenge. Being a superhero is nor fun for him at all. But Megamind IS happy and you can tell. He never ever wins, but he enjoys the constant challenges and loves to build inventions and to plan his next prison break. I like to think Metroman envies Megamind happiness and finally realizes why. Metroman fakes his death and starts a new hobby: playing the guitar and sing. It looks silly at first but there is a reason for him choosing that: he is AWFUL at it. What he wants is to achieve success trough work and struggle, and his awesome powers don't help in his new career, and that's exactly what he needs. Nobody lost their purpose: Metroman had a purpose, defend Metrocity. Megamind has a purpose, doing villain things (he still does that when he is depressed, like blowing Metroman's Museum). But defending Metrocity bores Metroman because it's too easy for him, and doing villain things bores Megamind after Metroman's 'death' because it's also too easy. Both characters grow thanks to self-imposed challenges: Metroman becomes Musicman, and Megamind builds a Hero to fight against. They were unhappy not because they lost their purpose, but because they lost the struggle. So this is the message: don't do things only because they are easy, do the things that fulfill you, even if they are harder. Happiness is more important than success, and that's a powerful message in our success-obsessed society of today. It's not the main theme of the movie, but it's a interesting one, and that's why i'm commenting on it here.

    I think the other lesser talked about is lacking confidence. Hal is the perfect example: When he talks and acts towards Roxanne he lacks confidence in what he wants to say, and he doesn't know what to say. However he does get that confidence when he goes to help Roxanne at megaminds hide out. However we don't feel sorry for Hal because its written beautifully to make him a villain. His emotions over ride his thinking. especially when he talks to mega mind saying he only took the gig for the girl. and its strengthened when he steals. But we should feel sad.

    Hal is ... A Nice Guy. Not a guy that's actually nice, they just "play nice" to get the girls, do nice stuff expecting a reward from her while being kinda creepy about it and super entitled and if the girl reject them, they'll go violent and insult them. At the time, TV was big on the "Even losers can be heroes and deserves the girl" trope, how peoples not exactly liked by fate would still conquer the odds and charm the girl they wanted and live happily ever after, due to their good personality. Hal thought he was that guy, that now that he "conquered the odds" he would get Roxanne because what kept her away from him if it wasn't for the lack of powers, amiright ?? But he never was a good guy, and the moment he didn't get what he wanted, he threw a tantrum, showing that he wasn't deserving of either powers, or Roxanne.

    The reason Megamind didn't fly near the end was because he didn't have his flying tech (probably fell off or got broken during battle). When he was flying earlier as Metroman, he was wearing it, but it got cloaked. He was basically using all his tech to recreate Metroman in looks and abilities (which is why it's so GODDAMN smart that he got caught because of how he pronounced Metrocity). And from there, he faked it until he made it to make Titan leave, knowing he was no match for Metroman.

    The main reason this movie is so underrated is because it was in theaters at the same time as 'Despicable Me'. For some reason when two great movies come out at the same time people tend to pick sides rather than just love both movies. People were accusing Megamind of ripping off 'minions' from Despicable Me and people who loved that movie tended not to watch this one. Stupid I know, but no one ever accused large crowds of being intelligent.

    This film is criminally underrated. It unfortunately was released within a similar timeframe to Despicable Me (which of course had the bloody yellow minions to win over the kids) and unfortunately Megamind’s marketing was just not up to scratch for such an amazing story, so Despicable Me got the limelight and yet another amazing non-Shrek Dreamworks film got forgotten about. Except for the cult following and meme communities 😆 I’d highly recommend Rise of the Guardians if you haven’t seen it! That’s another of their best work!

I love it :D) Spirit, Simbad, Road to Eldorado, Antz, Prince of egypt. I'm not that happy they made Boss baby 1 and 2, Shark tale and Turbo. Thoses were really awful! Except the animation, nothing about them was good or entertaining. The humor was lame, the music was boring, the characters were either stupid or annoying, the villain was a joke (The twist one in turbo was just horrible!) They got more good movies than bad ones luckily!

    This movie is from my childhood. I loved it then, and love it even more now. Truly a legendary film. 👌 Oh, and I don’t think Megamind’s actually evil at all. In any way. He just plays the role, but nothing about him tells you that his instinct and his inherent personality is evil and malicious. He was just taught to do it, and then embraced it when trying to be good turned him away. He thought there were two roles and if he couldn’t be one, then he must be the other. It’s a little bit sad, if you think about it.

    To clear a few things up: Roxanne wasted time telling Megamind that she did look back, to get Megamind to notice the invisible car without revealing it to Tighten. If Tighten knew what it was he'd probably have just blown it up or something. Megamind's ability to fly wasn't from the disguise watch, he had a separate machine to mimic Metroman's powers strapped to his back. Tighten destroyed the machine during the fight before Megamind made it to the invisible car.
