And if I said Megamind is one of the few movies that understands Superman.

imissthembutitwasntadisaster

And if I said Megamind through its three subversions of Superman shows a deeper understanding that the point of Superman is that he was loved and taught to love by good, present parents, and because of that he is able to return that love to a world even if it doesn't always accept it, and he is not corrupted by his power, than many other films either subverting or playing the superman story straight.

Megamind has three Superman subversions. One is obviously Megamind himself. He was not raised loved by the world, but rather was loved by those hated by the world. Because he was still raised with love, he does care about other people, hence his character development. But because he didn't receive wider love growing up, his own is misplaced at first.

Metro Man was not loved growing up in a way that mattered. His adopted father was clearly very absent, and while we don't know much about his family, their relationship seems superficial. Because of this, his sense of duty to the world is also superficial, hence his boredom.

Hal wasn't raised with power. He gained it and was shown how to use it by a 'space dad' who only taught him power and not love. Hence, he sees it only as a grasping means to an end.

All three of these subversions, in their negative space, create the silhouette of the superhero that they are parodying. That silhouette is of a space child that came to earth and was cared for very deeply by the world, and taught love through his experience of love, and because of that holds fast to his duty to the world. Which is Superman.

Oh, so I hate the American dub version of Kurama having two souls/two personalities/two consciousness in one body and becoming humanized by the soul of Shuichi Minamino BECAUSE IT IS ESSENTIALLY A WESTERN CHRISTIAN LOGIC.

The idea that a sinful person was redeemed by another co-existing soul (Holy Spirit) so now he's a good person seems very Christian and I hate it. (spiritually changed by something inside rather than having his own choices to change from the inside-out)

In Japanese folklore of youkai and especially Buddhism, Youko Kurama reincarnated himself in the body of a fetus and will overtake that fetus so it also becomes youkai as a part of himself. That's why his situation is a merger, not a possession. He stole this body that's why the human Shuichi Minamino was never born. He grew up in that body while treating his mother beneath him until one day when she saved him from his own mistake. There is no internal force or some kind of other spirit that made Kurama change himself (he isn't even entirely changed). There is no Shuichi Minamino that gave him a human conscience. He decided for himself that this woman who cared for him is important to him and he feels remorse for how he deceived her and looked down on her.

Kurama is simply still the same Youko Kurama but now he cares for someone else other than himself. Outside of his family and friends, he is still the same Kurama as he always had been and opponents underestimating him for having people he cares for found out the hard way how once a youko, always a youko.

Kurama's change is a slowburn of character development that didn't happen easily because he does NOT exist with a Shuichi Minamino inside himself who blesses him with humanity. He is also not the human soul of Shuichi because he replaced that existence when he occupied a soulless body (This is important because he would have needed to be stronger if he wanted to possess a body that had a soul. And if he could, he wouldn't have chosen a fetus but rather an adult with more agency. This gives more perspective on how much he actually weakened).

Kurama's actions and development are all his as THE Youko Kurama, not because of the non-existent Shuichi Minamino.

It's a beautiful day to think about your favorite character's back muscles ✨

We just knew.

As a reminder, this is what she looks like:

Also I hope everyone knows that Miette was fostered before she was adopted, and her foster mom loved that little kitten so much and always hoped she’d gone to a good home. this tweet got so popular that she recognized Miette and reached out to her current mom, and was able to share previously unseen baby pictures

darthmelyanna

You mean, she saw Miette was kicked like the football and did nothing to help put Mother in jail for a thousand years? I am appalled.

selfshipping is wild because i will be having all these thoughts like “i am undesirable and nobody will ever want me :-(“ and then f/o will be like “hi” and suddenly everything is fine actually. even if for a little while.

theadventuresofclutchpowers

your f/os WILL listen when you speak!!!! the whole sentence!!!!! the entire words all the letters in them!!! even if it's taking you a while!!!! even if it's a bit hard to get words out!!!!!

cursed-casanova

your f/o is patient with you. even if you cry easily or get upset with the smallest things or you build up stress until you burst, they aren't going to be mad or frustrated with you if you're feeling big emotions. it doesn't matter what made you feel bad, all that matters to them is that you feel hurt.
