![]() I admit that I'm behind on some of the great super-stories that have come out lately, so I can't speak to the trend in its entirety. In the mean time, I started wondering just what has happened to heroes lately. The story ends up having this great feel of the hero and the villain completing each other in a fluffy bunnies version of the Batman/Joker relationship, but it takes awhile to get to that realization. Naturally, they become rivals, with Metro Man as the hero and Megamind as the villain. They go to the same school as children, where Metro Man is the popular one, and Megamind is always picked last for everything. ![]() He also ends up being very good at escaping from jail. Metro Man has all the super powers you'd expect, while Megamind has a big blue head, a minion that's a fish, and can make crazy mad science inventions (but otherwise doesn't seem too inherently bright). If you're not familiar with the story (and it's a familiar one), Megamind is one of two aliens that get sent off in small space pods from their dying worlds to live on earth. We also picked up Megamind, which I decided was not really a kids' movie after all, and so finished on my own. (I ended up thinking it was pretty cute.) We've seen Tangled (which I loved), Ratatouille, and we're in the middle of The Tigger Movie now. I'd missed Disney's Meet the Robinsons, for example, which I think was pretty poorly branded and misrepresented by the trailers. It typically takes three or four days to make it through a regular cartoon movie (unless I finish it after she's gone to bed), since we watch it in spurts, which is not an optimal viewing experience for me - but it does give me the excuse to catch up on the cartoon movies I've missed over the past few years.
