The film strikes down with loved, funny, and original concepts, as I had never seen such well-written heroes myself. All of the characters are realistic and down to earth. From beginning to end, the film keeps you entertained by introducing each person's arc and development. The motives are understandable, and we can't help but cheer for everyone (except Hal, ew). Each character shapes into a new person by the end, discovering a new sense of purpose and environment.
SPOILERS AHEAD
In the end, everyone got what they deserved, especially considering how everyone's true colors showed throughout the movie. All of this happens because of the rich dialogue from the film. All characters are full of personality. Megamind's purpose revolves around the last words he heard from his parents. A half-heard instruction as to what he was destined to do. After trying to be a good guy and failing, Megamind realizes that perhaps his destiny is to be the biggest "bad guy" the world had ever seen. A rivalry begins with Metro Man, the hero of Metrocity. Surprisingly, Metro Man seems to lose someday, putting the world of the story in crisis. The city, especially Roxanne, lives in fear and anger at what Megamind had done, and Megamind now is purposeless as he has no hero to fight. The dialogue is essential here, as the characters explicitly state how they feel about the situation.
Later on, the characters' conversations come to play when Megamind (as Bernard) and Roxanne are full of chemistry. We discover that maybe Megamind doesn't want to be the bad guy, and Roxanne can be soft through their interactions on their dates. However, this causes disputes with Minion, who only wanted to protect his colleague. Worst of all, Hal. Hal believed he was owed a relationship after gaining superpowers, even though he was just a terrible person.
Finally, Metro Man's monologue.
Metro Man's monologue proves he is the best thing a superhero could ever be: relatable. The man struggles with responsibilities and personal choices. Although it's his responsibility to keep the city safe, he can't help but crave personal freedom away from heroism (rightfully so). Rarely do heroes actually develop a personality (in this case, Metro Man wants to be Music Man) in which they have a passion and outer life besides saving people. Metro Man perfectly embodies this, as he states he never had a choice in his life, and all he wanted was to be free.
