the genius of megamind (beyond the obvious genius ofc) is that it's superman parody actually presents a genuinely unsettling depiction of the "hero" that I like wayyy better than "what if superman was evil" or "what if superman was wrong"... it's "what if superman didn't care"

Dreamworks has the best couples/relationships ever. The thing I've always admired about their couples is how mature and well-developed their relationship is. How one respects everything about their partner, gives each other time to build trust, and also helps each other become the best versions of themselves. They rarely (or even never) say "I love you" to each other because their actions are powerful enough to evoke that.
Also: the characters individually are some of the most well-developed characters in animation (yeah, I said it).
So yeah, these are just my thoughts. I just adore DW's characters and ships.

my policy is i will watch and enjoy a bad movie if it's bad in a fun and interesting way. what i cannot abide is a bad movie that feels soulless. for a bad movie to truly be good, there needs to be a beating heart underneath a solid layer of shlock and tat. so ends my sermon

Profiles in Villainy Redemption
Megamind
The flamboyant super villain Megamind and his arch-nemesis, the superhero Metro Man, were both aliens who were sent to Earth as infants before their planets were sucked into a black hole. Although both landed in Metro City at the same time, Metro Man was raised in a mansion, while Megamind was raised in a prison. Growing up, he came to the conclusion that his purpose is to be a super villain. And this quickly resulted in a longstanding rivalry between Megamind and the heroic Metro Man.
As an adult, Megamind, frequently and unsuccessfully battled Metro Man for control of the city. Megamind possesses a peerless intellect and created all manner of inventions that are equally ingenious as they are insidious. He is aided in this by his fish-like companion, Minion.
While Megamind constantly schemed to destroy Metroman and rule Metro City with an iron fist, he actually enjoyed the rivalry and did not truly wish to succeed. Indeed when he did apparently destroy Metro Man and succeeded in conquering the city, he is left bereft and pining for the good old days of the former status quo.
This led Megamind to make the foolish decision to create a new super heroic rival. He bestowed the powers of Metro Man into a goonish creep named Hal. Predictably, the plan went terribly awry as Hal became Titan, a rotten and depraved villain.
Megamind was forced to team up with intrepid reporter, Roxanne Ritchi, and the two were ultimately able to defeat Titan. Herein Megamind found that being a hero is just as rewarding as being a villain and he went on to become the beloved protector of Metro City.
Actor Will Ferrell provides the voice for Megamind with the villain-turned hero first appearing in the 2010 animated feature, Megamind.
