Megamind is so funny to me. Several things are easily and beautifully established in the first few scenes of the movie.
Probably the worst crime that Megamind can actually be persecuted for is kidnapping. Some destruction of property. Otherwise, absolutely nobody is actually scared of him. There's no evacuation when he "takes over" (unlike later when Tighten takes over and there's a mass-exodus.)
He has some form of probably legitimate income since he purchases and ships all of his "evil lair" accessories from an outlet store, of all things, in Romania.
He has fans. (Fucking Bernard)
He probably hasn't killed anybody ever. (He told Roxanne to evacuate the Metro Man museum "we're having the walls and ceiling removed") (also his complete freakout when "MetroMan's" skeleton is revealed)
He purposely mispronounces things. (Says spider correctly initially, and then "corrects" himself.)
He unintentionally mispronounces things. ("Ollo?")
He doesn't know what windows are???? Has to be explained to him, despite his lair having them???? And the jail he was raised in has windows???? And the school he went to had windows????
His alligators (from the alligator pit) are very obviously well-loved and cared for. They have a disco ball, their own room, and piles of toys. They looked like they were having a great time, actually.
