Megamind (2010)

[foxfirefey]

So, unless it happened in the very very beginning of the movie I missed, Megamind utterly fails the Bechdel Test--one woman with no other women to talk to! Even worse, she's pretty much the rope involved in a tug of war between two pillars of manpain. One of whom (her coworker with a crush made into a superman, no less) decides that when she rejects him romantically, he should kill her.

Yeah, I kind of like the fact that being obsessive and creepy and not listening when a woman says "NO" is, for once, not being romanticized as the good approach to relationships.

That said, I wish the woman in the movie had had at least one other woman to talk to. And that she didn't get to kick the ass of the supervillain herself, because when a guy decides that a woman should die for rejecting him, I think that the woman in question should deliver a permanent smackdown. *sad*
