Line 101:
*** [[Fridge Brilliance|Maybe because it's one that keeps biting him?]]
* At the beginning Megamind is serving 88 life sentences. Looks like folks ''actually died'' during some of the conflicts...
** Although in a less horrific interpretation, in certain American jurisdictions kidnapping can receive up to a life sentence depending on the severity of the crime and whether federal authorities get involved; we certainly know that he's kidnapped Roxanne a lot (maybe eighty-eight times?). It's also probable that Megamind has long-since fallen foul of any [
** Don't forget the ''attempted'' murder charges: The only way to defeat Metro Man was to kill him, so Megamind's been trying to kill him. Also, typically a repeat offender - especially one that is unrepentant - will get a stronger punishment. (Ironically, this line of logic leads the conclusion that Megamind ''can't'' have killed anyone: The worst they can do to him is keep piling on life sentences, so he's never done anything that could justify an execution. Actually killing someone would count, so those 88 life sentences actually reinforce how ''harmless'' he is as a villain.)
*** But Megamind ''did'' (as far as everyone knew) commit first-degree murder in the movie itself. Though he received no immediate punishment for it due to his overthrow of the city, he did turn himself in of his own free will later. Did he go back with full realization that he now ''faced the death penalty''? It was Minion, not the Warden, who mentioned his sentencing later (to which Megamind seemed a little confused), so it's quite possible he was now on death row.
