* AngstWhatAngst: By any metric, Megamind had a spectacularly crappy life and upbringing -- home planet destroyed, raised in jail, bullied at school, no friends except for Minion -- but doesn't seem particularly bothered by most of it.

Added DiffLines:

* LongerThanLifeSentence: Megamind was sentenced to 88 consecutive life sentences for his crimes against humanity and Metro City. Largely meaningless, since he's able to waltz out the front door of his CardboardPrison, and back into his functional laboratory ''cum'' lair.

** In the scene just before Titan fights Megamind, he holds up a torn magazine with Metro Man carrying Roxanne. [[spoiler:The top of the magazine is torn off, and he holds it up in a way that puts Megamind's head where Metro Man's originally (with "HERO" prominent on what's left of the cover).]]

* InterSpeciesRomance: Roxie is widely believed to have a romance with Metro Man, who, despite [[HumanAlien looking human]], is an alien. [[spoiler:Later, it is revealed that this no more than a rumor: [[SubvertedTrope Metro Man is just "not her type"]]. And then, [[DoubleSubverted she falls for Megamind]].]]
