Watching TikTok try and rewrite fandom history by saying fandom culture was created by teenage girls makes me eye twitch to an extent I’ve never felt it twitch before. The middle aged women printing out Spirk erotica to share with each other in the 1900s did not die for this!!!! How dare you erase our important historic moments!!! You would be nowhere without the 30 year old women who dedicated their free time to making these spaces happen. Put some respect on their names!!!!

I find it really interesting at the start of Megamind, during his monologue about his childhood, he refers to his actions as evil. But they’re like, very not? 

He’s treated like a criminal for simply ‘growing up’ in the prison. They never try to take him out or put him with another family. Because he’s associated with the criminals, even as a hyper intelligent baby, he’s put into their category. They don’t even give him different clothes to go to school, they let him sit there in prison orange. That would be socially isolating, especially when he hasn’t even committed a crime. It really demonstrates the nature vs nurture aspect of the movie, because even though he hasn’t committed a crime yet, people assume the worst of him just because of where he came from.

When he first goes to school, he uses the only skill that makes sense to him. He tries to connect with his class mates through technology, something he’s confident in. He accidentally causes a fire trying to recreate something Metro man did effortlessly. Megamind in the future views this attempt as evil and he’s punished as a child for it, when the fire wasn’t deliberate or done with ill intent. 

The same thing happens when he tries to protect himself from being bullied. He’s put on his own dodgeball team and isolated further from his class mates. He again tries to use his skills but create a helmet to deflect the balls, which doesn’t go the best way as he breaks a window and nearly hits the teacher. We can assume these kinds of things happened many times before he actively tried to do something ‘evil.’ 

Even his first act of evil is just a blue smoke bomb. You see loads of bad boy stereotypes do pranks like this, think Bart Simpson. At best, he’s doing an overblown childhood rebellion. He’s by no means a malicious person, he just wants acceptance. And when it becomes clear that people are not willing to accept him, but criminals are, he embraces that side and internalises their behaviours and beliefs throughout his life.

Even when he is ‘evil,’ it seems more like a game. A way to prove himself to others. He thinks that’s what’s going to complete this empty feeling in him he’s had ever since being socially rejected. Minion says that Megamind is happy when they kidnap Roxanne, I think it’s only because he enjoys having social connection, even if it’s through being evil or pretending to be somebody else.
