(Minion, Megamind, and Roxanne sing this song as Minion and Megamind train Titan, and Roxanne and Megamind-as-Bernard date and work together to solve the reconstructed idea cloud.)
lyrics:
MINION: Oh, I don’t like this. I don’t like this at all. Why in the world does Sir even need a hero? It doesn’t make any sense!
MEGAMIND (as Space Dad): The flames of my evil burn bright! Now you say something cool back at me.
HAL: You…bad! Aaaraaaghhhh!
MINION: THIS IS SUCH A BAD IDEA AN INESCAPABLY BAD PLAN
HAL: Smash! Smash! Smash!
MINION: I CAN’T SEE HIM AS A HERO, SIR AND REALLY I CANNOT SEE HOW YOU CAN
IT’S GOING TO GO WRONG
MEGAMIND: Can’t wait—LOL—smiley face!
MINION: IT’S GOING TO GO WRONG
MEGAMIND: THINGS ARE GOING RIGHT THINGS ARE GOING RIGHT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE I REALLY FEEL THE FUTURE’S GOING TO BE BRIGHT
THINGS ARE GOING RIGHT Oh, what fun!
ROXANNE: You don’t get out much, do you? I used to come here with my mother when I was a kid. It was one of my favorite things to do. Now look at it. It’s a dump.
MINION: IT’S GOING TO GO WRONG IT’S GOING TO GO WRONG BUT SIR HAS GOT ONE OF HIS BRIGHT IDEAS SO EVERYONE HAS GOT TO PLAY ALONG
IT’S GOING TO GO WRONG Why are we cleaning up the city, Sir?
MEGAMIND: Well, we don’t want to battle our new hero in a dump, now, do we?
ROXANNE: It’s clean! But how? Why?
MEGAMIND: Maybe Megamind isn’t so bad after all.
THIS WAS SUCH A GOOD IDEA
MINION: THIS IS SUCH A BAD IDEA
MEGAMIND: I’M SO GLAD I CHANGED THE PLAN
MINION: AN INESCAPABLY BAD PLAN
MEGAMIND: FATE GAVE ME A DIFFERENT PATH AND NOW I’M HERE AND PARTNERS WITH ROXANNE
MINION: IT’S GOING TO GO WRONG DISASTER’S LOOMING NEAR AND THE ONLY THING TO HOPE FOR IS IT DOESN’T GO AS BADLY AS I FEAR
IT’S GOING TO GO WRONG
(Roxanne and Megamind laugh.)
MEGAMIND: Oh, that was such a funny story! And brilliantly told, by the way. Okay, now you tell one!
ROXANNE: Bernard, I never knew you were so funny!
MEGAMIND: And—I never heard you laugh before.
ROXANNE: Yeah, it’s been a while. Feels pretty good.
THINGS ARE GOING RIGHT I’M SO GLAD TO HAVE YOU HERE I HAVEN’T QUITE GOT THIS DECIPHERED YET BUT I HAVE NO DOUBT THAT SOON IT WILL BE CLEAR
MEGAMIND & ROXANNE: THINGS ARE GOING RIGHT
MINION: IT’S GOING TO GO WRONG
MEGAMIND: NOTHING’S GOING TO WRONG
MINION: IT’S GOING TO GO WRONG AND THEN YOU’LL SEE I’M RIGHT, SIR AND YOU’LL SEE THAT I HAVE BEEN RIGHT ALL ALONG
MEGAMIND & ROXANNE: THINGS ARE GOING RIGHT
ROXANNE: I’M SO GLAD YOU HAVE YOU HERE
MEGAMIND: I’M SO GLAD TO BE HERE
MINION: DISASTER’S LOOMING NEAR IT IS GOING TO GO WRONG SOON AND THE ONLY THING TO HOPE FOR IS IT DOESN’T GO AS BADLY AS I FEAR
MEGAMIND & ROXANNE: THINGS ARE GOING RIGHT
MINION: SIR IS HEADED FOR A FALL BUT THERE’S NOTHING I CAN DO EXCEPT TO STAND BEHIND HIM AND THEN PICK UP ALL THE PIECES WHEN IT’S THROUGH
I really like the idea of it being both Minion and Wayne’s favorite disney movie.
I think Wayne probably does sympathize with Stitch because they’re both so strong that it’s terribly easy for them to be destructive, and considering how I headcanon Lady Scott, I think Wayne probably has fairly strong feelings about family.
(He just doesn’t see how like Megamind Stitch is.)
Minion, of course, has very strong feelings about family/found family–oh, look, I just adopted this destructive overemotional highly-strung blue creature and now it’s mine forever.
Roxanne probably sympathizes with Lilo; they both read as autistic to me, and share some traits–special interests that involve observing and documenting other people (Lilo’s photography, Roxanne’s journalism), flashes of anger and lashing out, and a tendency to try to correct people (Lilo’s “your badness level” graphic for Stitch, and Roxanne’s “these people trusted you and you just abandoned them”, etc.)
The movie might cut a little close for Megamind, but it has a happy ending, so it’s mostly okay for him.
I think Roxanne’s favorite disney movie might be Beauty and the Beast, mostly because of the giving-Belle-a-library thing, although she probably has strong feelings about The Little Mermaid, too, and will tell anyone who listens that she’s pretty sure Ariel would have chosen to become human to pursue her passion for learning about humans even if she hadn’t ever met Eric.
Megamind probably likes Beauty and the Beast, too, although the ending where the Beast becomes human hurts a lot.
I feel like Megamind’s favorite disney movie might actually be Cinderella, which is a story about the endurance of cruelty and unhappiness, of someone lowly rewarded and raised up, a story of trying to be good and finally being good enough.
(Also I think the movie implies Cinderella tries to appear cheerful but struggles with depression– “in dreams you will lose your heartaches; whatever you wish for, you keep” and “no matter how your heart is grieving, if you keep on believing, the dream that you wish will come true.” That song seems romantic and dreamy, but it’s really got a kind of defiant edge to it.)
