Metro Man is mislabelled as Megaman twice in the current version of this page, and is misspelled as Metroman twice, as well.


** Another one, as implied by Megamind's shock to finding out Tighten wants to kill him. Throughout all their battles, Megamind trusted Megaman never to go that far. Despite their rivalry, it seems neither Megamind or Megaman truly hated each other.
** This is backed up by both of them having a snark-off while Metroman's trapped in the observatory. As it goes on, it's almost as if they're both ''encouraging'' each other (albeit indirectly) regarding the wisecracks. On some level, it's as of both enjoyed the other's company.

* When Megamind first impersonates Bernard, he and Roxanne start talking in an elevator, comforting each other about Metroman's death. They then talk about how heroes are made, not born, and the right person could stand up to Megamind. Afterward, they are both inspired: Roxanne to take on the villain alone, and for Megamind to create a new hero.

*** For some people, Hal's behavior during this scene can be heartwarming to an extent. He's stuck in a high-security prison cell, watching his mortal enemy and the girl who [[EntitledToHaveYou "broke his heart"]] by choosing said rival over him get rewarded for absolutely destroying him, stealing his spotlight with a city-wide party. What is he doing? Dancing happily, without a hint of bitterness or anger. Maybe Michael Jackson just has this effect on people.

* Even apart from the romance, the relationship between Megamind and Roxanne is sweet. Their first meeting post-breakup is Megamind immediately going to her for help and calling her the smartest person he knows. Considering how well acquainted they seemed in the opening before Metro Man's death, it's very likely that she knows full well how much stock Megamind puts into his own intelligence and probably doesn't praise others lightly. It's clear he has immense respect for Roxanne even after being dumped by her.

* On that same note, Megamind believing Metro Man to be a ghost when he is revealed to be alive, is actually very heartwarming. it is not that he believes he killed Metro Man and there is no way he could survive. it is because his Rival Metro Man would never stop helping people. So obviously it must be a ghost.

** The warden also cared for Megamind in his own way. On top of actually disciplining him, the school Mega is sent to is a small, out of the way, gifted school. A place both trying to foster education and intelligence in a positive way (on paper), as well as not overwhelm Mega who'd be dealing with kids his age for the first time, and possibly keep him out of government attention.
