the joy of realizing someone is a similar type of freak as you

Was doing some yard work and when I picked up a stone I found a tarantula in their little hole underneath

I was like “Oh I’m sorry Mr. Tarantula sir I must move you otherwise you will be crushed.��� And so I put them in a little container to keep them safe

Then I went back to the area, noticed the corpse of their dead boyfriend in the hole and realized “Oh I’m sorry, MRS. Tarantula.”

Anyways I re-named her Mrs. Slayer for obvious reasons and was so tempted to keep her as a pet. Sadly I knew my cat would eat her given the chance so I let her free (after the yard work was done of course)

Hell yeah feed me that megamind analysis with a SPOON

So I just rewatched Megamind and, since I will never not respond to a good piece of pop culture with analysis, here’s a few things I noticed about how Hal and Megamind interact with Roxanne.

So both characters fancy Roxanne (sorry, but there’s no way I’m going to use the phrase “in love with” to describe Hal’s obsession), and so they both try and do nice things for her.

The difference is…

Sorry, I just had to.

But seriously, note how most of the things Megamind does for Roxanne are done, kind of, anonymously. Or, at least, not as the identity that he’s using to interact with her.

When he cleans up the city and restores the portrait gallery, he does it as Megamind while dating her as Bernard. So, even though Roxanne technically knows that he’s the one doing these things, because she doesn’t knw that he and Bernard are the same person she has no idea that he’s doing them for her.

Even when he rescues her from Titan, he does it in the form of Metroman. And when Titan flies away and Megamind flies down to the ground, he’s still Metroman— making me wonder if he wouldn’t have tried to keep up the charade if Roxanne hadn’t twigged.

Titan, meanwhile, tells Roxanne his secret identity moments after giving her flowers and ‘saving her’ a few times.

Why? Because Hal’s good deeds all have a hidden agenda behind them. He wants to make Roxanne like him and fall in love with him. When he learns that that’s not a possibility, he drops all pretence at being nice to her and becomes downright horrible.

Megamind, meanwhile, doesn’t seem to care whether Roxanne links his hood deeds back to him. Sure, he seems to want her to think well of him, (as shown by his frequent attempts to big his alter ego up by saying things like “maybe Megamind isn’t as bad as everybody thinks” and “I tried my best, but he’s just too fantastic”) that doesn’t seem to be his motivation for being nice to her.

When she discovers his true identity and confronts him, saying she could never love him because of his actions, he doesn’t respond by pointing out all the good things he’s been doing for her recently. He isn’t doing nice things for her so as to get into her good books, he just genuinely seems to want her to be happy and, as such, doesn’t present his actions as a huge favour to her.

And another thing, he pays attention to her.

When she laments that the park is a dump now, he picks up on it. Same when he’s fighting Titan and she hints to him about the location of the invisible car— he not only listens to what she’s saying but pays attention to how she’s saying it and why. After his ‘presentation’ moment (shown above in all its glory), he doesn’t stick around to enjoy the fight. He sees that she’s falling and goes down go rescue her.

Again, compare to Hal, who claims to love Roxanne but ends up not noticing even as she’s kidnapped under his nose because he’s too busy monologuing about how he feels about her. And who is so caught up in himself during the ‘Roxanne meets Titan’ sequence that he seems to be completely oblivious to how absolutely terrified Roxanne is of him.

Because Megamind falls in love with the real Roxanne, and so feels the need to pay attention to what she’s doing and feeling, while Hal is in love with a fantasy version of Roxanne that he’s made up in his head, and isn’t at all willing to let the real Roxanne’s feelings interfere with that.

And, last point, their reactions to getting dumped by her.

Hal, as previously mentioned, turns into a complete asshole, because he got the power to be evil at around the same time he lost the only thing that motivated him to be nice.

Megamind, on the other hand, actually reacts reasonably well. Sure, he’s devastated in the moment, and he does ask her if she looked back, but when she makes it clear that she’s not interested in talking about their relationship, he shuts up about it. And he’s still respectful and polite towards her— he recognises that she’s still a fucking human being and so deserving of respect, even though she rejected him (which doesn’t sound like much, until you consider that Hal reacted to rejection by tying her to the top of a tower and then trying to demolish it).

The furthest he goes is when she tries to encourage him to confront Titan with her and he responds: “I’m the bad guy. I don’t save the city, I don’t ride off into the sunset, and I don’t get the girl. I’m going home.” But the way he says it doesn’t seem to imply that he would have given it a go if she’d just agreed to go out with him. It doesn’t sound like he’s trying to pressure her into dating him, just that he’s, once again, sick of trying to be good in a society that doesn’t expect him to be anything but evil.

And in the end, when he does go back to save her, it isn’t because she makes any declaration of love towards him. All she says is that she always respected the way that he’d never back down from a fight— reminding him that he does have admirable qualities.

So yeah, in conclusion, this is a good film and I should watch it more often. Than you for putting up with what turned out to be basically just a ramble.

Hi there 👋,

My name is Mohammad, and I’m reaching out in a moment of desperate need. I’m a father of three young children living in Gaza, and we are caught in the midst of a catastrophic war. Our home is no longer a safe haven, and the future here seems increasingly uncertain. 💔

I’ve launched a fundraising campaign with the goal of raising $40,000 to relocate my family to a safer place where my children can grow up in peace and have a chance at a brighter future. 🕊️🇵🇸

Unfortunately, my previous fundraising efforts were abruptly halted when my account was terminated without explanation. However, I remain determined to keep fighting for my family’s safety and well-being. 🫶

If you could take a moment to read our story, consider donating, or simply share our campaign with others, it would make an incredible difference. Every act of kindness, no matter how small, brings us one step closer to safety and a new beginning. 🙏

Thank you for your time, compassion, and support. ❤

when I was younger I didn’t understand why “may you live in interesting times” was considered a curse in ancient greece.

I get it now.
