{{quote|'''Megamind:''' Oh, you're a villain all right. Just not a ''super'' one.
Line 14 ⟶ 13:
 
Not to be confused with ''[[Mega Man (video game)|Mega Man]]'' (despite the protagonist's blue-ness as well as the fact that the [[Heel Face Turn|villain's]] name is "''Mega'' Mind" and the hero's name is "Metro ''[[Something Person|Man]]''").
 
{{tropelist}}
 
* [[Abhorrent Admirer]]: Hal towards Roxanne, at least initially. He's inappropriate and awkward enough with his advances to make Roxanne very uncomfortable around him. {{spoiler|And then he gets superpowers, which does ''not'' help with this.}}
{{quote|'''Hal:''' If I were Metro Man, Megamind wouldn't be kidnapping you all the time.
Line 68 ⟶ 67:
** Later:
{{quote|'''Megamind:''' You don't know what's good for bad.}}
* [[Bad to the Bone]]: The [[Trope Namer]] song is used in the movie, to great effect, as well as several other [[Badass]] themes (like "Welcome To The Jungle", "Highway to Hell", "Back In Black'' and [[Ozzy Osbourne|"Crazy Train"]]).
* [[Balance Between Good and Evil]]: [[Invoked]] by Megamind, who learns from experience that supervillains can not exist without superheroes.
* [[Bald of Awesome]]: Megamind. Do not deny it.
Line 533 ⟶ 531:
* [[Stalker with a Crush]]: Hal, Roxie's camera-man. {{spoiler|Her rejection of him as Titan begins his [[Start of Darkness]]. It is a bad sign that one of the first things Hal uses his new superpowers for is ''peeping''.}}
** Megamind might also count initially, since it's hinted that the only reason he kept kidnapping Roxanne is [[Abduction Is Love|because he's in love with her]] (in his warped not-really-knowing-or-understanding-what-that-actually-is way) and it's his way of being close to her. Unlike Hal, however, he gets better.
* [[BadStandard toPre-Ass-Kicking the BoneSnippet]]: The former [[Trope Namer]] song"Bad to the Bone" is used in the movie, to great effect, as well as several other [[Badass]] themes (like "Welcome To The Jungle", "Highway to Hell", "Back In Black'' and [[Ozzy Osbourne|"Crazy Train"]]).
* [[Stealth Pun]]: Minion is literally a henchman in a gorilla suit.
** During the "I'm Bad" finale, Minion is doing... The Robot.
