What if Lex Luthor actually defeated Superman? That is the question
Dreamworks Animation sought to answer with Megamind, the studios’ satirical
take on the superhero genre, back in late 2010. Unfortunately, the trailers
didn’t do much to incentivize me to see it in theaters at the time, so I didn’t
actually gain an interest in watching it until about recently about nine years
after the initial release, when Megamind was suddenly in vogue for
internet culture. While it’s not a perfect film, I now wonder why it took so
long for me to see it.
