Why Megamind is a Cooler Movie than You Think it is

Because the premise has never been told in any other movie before...
At least not any movie I've ever seen...




Megamind in 3 minutes (unless you're a slow reader which is cool too)



An alien planet is going down. Two couples of peaceful alien races place their newborn babies in two separate space pods and send them off in hopes that they'll land somewhere safe and survive.
One alien species resembles traditional good looking Earth humans.
The other resembles a stereotypical big headed blue alien life form.

The pod with the human form lands in a young, wealthy, good looking couple's home. The baby is named MetroMan.
The pod with the alien form lands in a prison for nonviolent criminals. The baby is named MegaMind.

Both MetroMan and Megamind are well cared for and grow into healthy children.
MetroMan is the favorite of the two based on appearance and family background. He can do no wrong. Even if he does he is quickly forgiven.
Megamind can do no right. Even if he does no one cares. If he fucks something up, he is harassed and bullied.
MetroMan turns into a spoiled brat adult (with a good heart deep down). Everyone loves him.
Megamind embraces the idea that everyone hates him and uses his higher intelligence to do make and do terrible things for attention. People see him as evil regardless so he plays up his evil side and flaunts it, though the audience can easily see that deep down he has no intention of doing anything truly harmful.
MetroMan and Megamind grow into adults and become arch nemesis as Superhero and Super Villain. They put on a show almost everyday of good vs. evil. Megamind has the mental capability to make something that will destroy MetroMan but he chooses to make things that fall short.

Until one day he actually defeats MetroMan (and kills him... or does he?)

And then he feels lost. Megamind himself feels defeated.
Well... what now??? He has to move on with his life.
But what the hell is he going to do? Fighting MetroMan is the only life he knows.

He's smart... So he creates another super hero to be his arch Nemesis. He uses a snobby chubby kid named Hal as the base and manipulates him into a strong and good looking super hero.
But what he didn't know is that Hal is truly a bad person, and with his newfound strength and power he starts raising hell around town. But since Megamind has a good soul deep down...
Good soon prevails.
And Megamind becomes a superhero...with his homemade "superhero" as a truly evil super villain...

What happens next? Megamind needs help...

You'll love it. I promise ;)
