* 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 more than possible that she knows full well how much stock Megamind puts into his own intelligence. It's clear he has immense respect for her even after being dumped by her.

* Roxanne's reaction during the climax, when Metro Man apparently reappears to fight Titan. She grants him a single line of acknowledgement (implying surprise at his return, no less) before immediately turning her back on the fight to rush to an injured Megamind's side. It's a solid flip from her perspective at the start of the movie.

* When Megamind and Minion are breaking out of prison one last time to go confront Titan, they pass the warden, who had been left tied to a chair by Minion, and he calls to them "Good luck, fellas!" It's such a sweet moment, because, let's face it, the warden was the closest thing Megamind ever had to a father.

* 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.
