I can’t stress enough how much Megamind is a magnificent movie and how much I love it unconditionally. Aside from all the comedy and entertainment, if you analize pretty well many things about the movie, you get a bunch of very interesting important life lessons:

• Metroman was the “gifted child”, always pushed into an ideology that they must be perfect, iconic. When Metroman reached his peak, he felt that “ideal life” was too much and it slowly became a burden to him as he never got the opportunity to follow the life he wanted in the first place in order to pursue the life others wanted for him.

• Megamind was raised in a place with wrong influences and was isolated from the very beginning being held as another prisoner just because he looked different. Him becoming “a villain” came from him believing he was one because of the way people treated him by bullying him and labelling him, never given a chance to grow properly.

• Roxanne is the person everyone saw as the “damsel in distress”, yet when all seemed lost, unlike the rest of the citizens of Metrocity, she was the only person trying to find a way to change things. She never stopped looking for clues and possible solutions in order to fight back, to stand up for herself and for the rest of the city.

• Hal Stewart, aka Titan/Tighten, is the person you thought you knew, the kind of person you have interacted on a daily basis, an ordinary person, the one you never imagined could become such a dangerous threat when suddenly given power and when they don’t get what they thought they deserved just because they were “nice”.

• Minion is the love and support we all deserve.

Have I mentioned how much of a nerd I am for Megamind?
