We went to see Megamind this opening weekend. While many of the themes seem previously done, it has several plot twists that made it very enjoyable. However, while the story is very different from Dr. Horrible’s Sing-along Blog, I could not stop thinking about the similarities between the roles of the characters.

Evil Genius – Dr. Horrible vs. Megamind



Handsome Strong Hero – Captain Hammer vs. Metroman



Love Interest – Penny vs. Roxanne



Sidekick – Moist vs. Minion



Common Themes
- Good vs. Evil
- “With great power comes great responsibility”
- Effective use of brain and technology are equivalent to superpowers (yay, science!)
- Geeks
- Rayguns!
