@CyclopsCaveman whatever it was, it was probably good to be distracted from that movie
@BestGirlGrace @CyclopsCaveman wait why
megamind was great
@00dani @CyclopsCaveman distressingly heterosexual, though
@BestGirlGrace @CyclopsCaveman the het guy was the villain?
@00dani @CyclopsCaveman isn't it about two dudes fighting over a lady, it's been a while
@BestGirlGrace @CyclopsCaveman kinda, but megamind's definitely not straight and the actual villain, whose name is "tighten" for some reason i can't remember, is basically toxic masculinity
and he's the villain, so, the film is a condemnation of toxic masculinity
@BestGirlGrace @00dani @CyclopsCaveman megamind also the whole thing about metroman and megamind were basically forced into their respective roles by societal expectations—metroman's the popular rich kid, megamind grows up in a prison, and by the end of the film they've both figured out who they want to be and end up doing it despite the societal pressure (especially on megamind) to never change
@00dani @BestGirlGrace @CyclopsCaveman hell yell it is. honestly it parallels a Lot of minority experiences, which ofc makes it super easy to identify with the pov character
@autistikai @BestGirlGrace @CyclopsCaveman part of the reason megamind's definitely not straight tbh. that is a heckin queer narrative right there
