“Oh evil heaven, my tekel is insane, Myn-the-Fantastic, please guide me in keeping this idiot from blowing himself up.

“Again.

“We just got the walls repaired.”

i’m uploading this because i only just noticed this..

after megamind has asked roxanne ‘did you ever look back?’ and she yells ‘no!’, she pauses for quite a while in the car, looking regretful.

just got quite emotional about it. which is why she says ‘about the other night, i think an apology is in order..’

oh roxanne and megs i will keep fussing over your little moments until.. until.. UNTIL FOREVER.

When he is revealed in the restaurant, she thinks he’s been lying to her, that she was falling in love while he was tricking her. In the rain scene, she’s too (understandably) upset and not thinking clearly. Roxanne’s response to being hurt is to attack–so she does.

After having had time to process her feelings she’s much calmer now, and so when he starts talking about the break up–she realizes that Megamind is serious, Megamind has real feelings for her, too.

And that hurts. Did you ever look back? he asks and she had, and that last shot of her in the rain, she looks very sad, and like she’s longing for him to come back, to apologise for lying instead of trying to persuade her, and try to fix it. (Which, we see how good Megamind is at apologies, “I was…less right.” Navigating emotional situations like this isn’t something a guy raised in prison and then all alone, with just his fish, has any real experience in.)

So that memory hurts and she reacts again, slamming on the breaks.

And has this moment of regret and also probably, Fuck I really really care about him and want this to work…

Which, she’s not really any better at sensitivity and relationships either. I think after they talk to Wayne, when she suggests going back to the Lair for ray guns, she’s being silly to try and lift Megamind’s spirits and show him that they’re in this together. She’s reaching out–again, she tried to get him to apologise and talk in the hall–because she’s realized I think just how much he means to her and how much she wants a relationship with him. (I think she’s had feelings for him for a long time, but Roxanne really bottles up her feelings.)

But Megamind is dealing with a lot more than just their break up and the Titan situation; he’s feeling like he’s failed at everything he’s ever tried to do, and been abandoned by everyone.

It’s the same story as in the beginning, at the school house as children: you aren’t wanted or needed, no one likes you, you mess everything up. Go away, no one wants to play with you.

He’s not the good guy, he doesn’t believe he’s ever had good in him, he tried to be that with Roxanne and as soon as she found out the truth she dumps him. So when Wayne says, Good will rise up, he’s not thinking of himself; he’s thinking Wayne means a real hero, and go away Megamind, we don’t need you making this worse.

And he doesn’t even have supervillainy any more, Titan is doing a better job of that, too.

So he gives up. Goes back to prison, where everyone has always wanted him. It’s more than Titan he stops fighting.

I don’t think he expected to win, when Roxanne begs him to try one last time. I think he knows there’s no chance to beat Titan and that he will probably not survive. I think the plan is just to save her.

It’s very similar to the Deathray plan–it’s all about Presentation and misdirection.

Roxanne is the one who sees the car, and gives him a chance, and honestly I think gives him hope, from the way she’d looked at him when she turns off the watch.

They won because they had each other.
