So... if everybody asks you why do you think Megamind is bi, then why don't you answer? There must be something that hints it and I am really curious.
Honestly, because Iām not sure how to respond. A lot of these comments sound like skepticism rather than curiosity.
But Iāll try. Key word being ātryā. Iāll probably word this very poorly.
Basically there is nothing in canon that confirms that Megamind is straight (same with nothing confirming he is bi) and because Iā and many people I know both in the fandom and out ofā are bi as well, itās comforting to think that a character I admire and consider my favorite āsuperheroā could be bi himself.
And thatās my probably-selfish answer that I think some people want to hear so they can write the idea off as my one-sided bullcrap. But the funny thing is bisexuality is a very real thing that is often written off like some weird myth. Yes, Megamind is clearly interested in Roxanne, but this doesnāt magically erase any attraction he may feel towards other people.
And what other people? Raised on a planet of humans or not, heās still an alien surrounded by others who are not his species. Because thereās next to nothing known about his species, their range of gender and sexuality and etc, itās unfair to assume heād be attracted to one genderā and one human gender at that.
Megamind has a seriously extreme fanboy-like obsession with Metro Man. Everything about his actions around him screams āLOOK AT ME LOOK AT MEā. This could be taken multiple ways, but as a bisexual, I look at his behavior and see a long-time crush. Or an extreme admiration of sorts gone into the realm of āIām not sure if I want to do you or BE you!ā Heās extremely excited to wear Metro Manās cape, compliments his āgreat hairā, touches his face, blushes like a strawberry when Metro Man touches him, goes WAY out of his way to get noticed by him, and just⦠I donāt know. I see it. A lot.
Kind of one of those things where you have to live it to really see it, I suppose.
Fandom seems to be totally on board with him being bisexual, and really, Megamind being attracted to his/other genders would have no impact on his relationship with Roxanne.
(Oh, and on that note, fandom is totally cool with Metro Man being gay, too. Or asexual. Itās all cool!)
There just needs to be more queer people in media, being taken seriously. I think Megamind would be the perfect character for Dreamworks to confirm as bisexual, but since its not likely they ever will (because that would require acknowledging the fandom exists) then fandom has said so!
