#Even beyond Roxane. Even beyond the big head and big nose. Even beyond the sending messages and the duels and the verbal duels

The more I think about it the more I feel like an idiot for not realising before that Megamind is in many senses a version of Cyrano, not even after reading (and rereading several times!) the play
#Even beyond the bisexual charged love triangle and the love triangle in which two of the points are Megamind#Even beyond Roxane. Even beyond the big head and big nose. Even beyond the sending messages and the duels and the verbal duels#Even beyond the montfleuresque beginning. Even beyond the Le Bret vibes of Minion and the de Guiche/Valvert vibes of Hal#Even beyond that restaurant conversation that is so so close to Roxane and Cyrano's conversation in Arras#Like... I once spent hours (far longer than the duration of the film) going on about how everything about Megamind is performative#and how almost everyone is aware of that to the point of the entire town feeling almost like a theatre#That's Cyrano alright! The ending of Act 1 is extremely Cyrano but the ending of Act 1 is extremely Megamind too#I really can't believe I didn't notice considering how ehm not normal I am about Megamind irl#Truly if I needed any proof about being stupid... haha#Anyway my sister's friend sent her a picture teasing me about Megamind and I was reminded of the fact again#Thank goodness for McAvoy's acting and his Megamind laughter#I talk too much#I should probably delete this later#Megamind#Cyrano de Bergerac
