The Bad Blue Brilliant Part 2

Now about the structure of characters in narrative which was introduced by Vladimir Propp. In Megamind (2010) i will seperate the structure of the characters into 3 parts.

1. The first part is before the death of Metroman (although his death is just a fake which showed in the end of the movie)
  • Hero : Metromind
  • Villain : Megamind
  • Donor : -
  • Helper : -
  • Princess : Roxanne Ritchi
  • Dispatcher : -
  • The False Hero : -
The first part is just about the battle between Metroman and Megamind, where Megamind always catch Roxanne and Metroman always wins.

2. But then it is all change when Megamind finally won against Metroman and killed him. But then because of his emptiness, he creates Titan, a new superhero to fight against him.
  • Hero : Hal aka Titan
  • Villain : Megamind
  • Donor : Space Dad and Space Mom
  • Helper : Space Dad and Space Mom
  • Princess : Roxanne Ritchi
  • Dispatcher : Space Dad and Space Mom
  • The False Hero : -
 Megamind creates Titan, disguise with his minion as Space Dad and Space Mom of Hal aka Titan, train him to fight Megamind.

3. At the end, there's another twist where Metroman is still alive, and Titan is not protecting the Metro City, he destroys it. So Megamind turns himself to be the hero, fights Titan.
  • Hero : Megamind
  • Villain : Titan
  • Donor : Roxanne Ritchi
  • Helper : Minion
  • Princess : Roxanne Ritchi
  • Dispatcher : Metroman
  • False Hero : Metroman (Megamind disguises as him)
Metroman is still alive, he said that he finally knows his destiny as a Rock Star not as a superhero, and he said to Megamind, "If there is bad, good will rise up against it." So Megamind finally fight Titan to save Roxanne. He disguises as Metroman to stop Titan. At the end, Roxanne help Megamind to remember where he parked his car, because the gun to take Titan's power is located in that car.
