DreamWorks’ Megamind, which features the pairing of former SNL stars Will Ferrell, Tina Fey, along with Brad Pitt, turns the traditional superhero genre on its head and inspires us to follow our hearts and choose our destinies.
The lives of Megamind (Will Ferrell) and Metro Man (Brad Pitt), like yin and yang, have been intertwined since they were babies. Hailing from two planets that were on the verge of being consumed, Megamind’s and Metro Man’s parents send them off in space pods. By virtue of destiny, they end up in strikingly different households. Metro Man fortuitously lands in an opulent mansion, while Megamind lands in Metro City’s prison, where he is raised by convicts.
From an early age, the boys become natural adversaries. The beloved and perfectly quaffed Metro Man steals the spotlight, leaving the primary-color-hued Megamind alone in the corner. Early in his adolescence, Megamind resolves to be the “baddest bad guy” he can be—which, it turns out, isn’t all that bad since most of his ploys fail.
