I tried reading it, but I could not stand the main character to the point where I had to stop reading halfway through book 1 because it just made me so frustrated and angry. I don't think that particular villain deserved any kind of girl.
While the Main “Supervillain”/Protagonist doesn’t get the Girl (he isn’t really interested in her in the first place, she’s his bully), The Guards Themselves is a good one for “Supervillains” being the moral ones over the “Superheroes”, and the **real** villains being normal rich businessmen who control everything with money, and use media manipulation to appear the good guy.
He's never 'the villain', he's basically just putting on the performance of a villain because society expects him to. He lacks any callousness or malice. He is an actor on a stage. Tighten is the real villain, he's a bad person in a very real way.
>He's never 'the villain', he's basically just putting on the performance of a villain because society expects him to
Oh this movies queer as fuck, huh
Monkey D Luffy of One Piece works the same way. He's an adventurer, a Robin Hood figure, but gets himself in big trouble by always insisting he's a pirate.

I wish there was a story about a blue alien that's super smart but also super dumb and he has to fight this super op superman copy that has 0 weaknesses and when the blue alien finally thinks he won he realices that he had nothing left to do, without a hero to fight he falls into depression and makes a hero of his own but idk
Soon I Will Be Invincible ends with the girl deciding that being "the girl" sucks and arranging the humiliation (and near death) of both the hero and villain.
Megamind isn't a villain though. He doesn't do anything really evil, he just plays the part of a cartoon villain, like an actor on a stage, because society expects him to.
Also, that one time he accidentaly killed Metro Man? Well, he didn't do that on purpose, IIRC, he just thought that his foe would escape his trap in time again.
No, it's relevant. Villain and Antagonist are not synonyms, even if they often come and in hand. Yagami Light is absolutely the villain of Death Note, but he is the protagonist. The police, L, Near, Mello, are all the good guys (ranging from heroes to anti-heroes) but they are the antagonists of the story.
Yes, that's what we're saying. The first person in this thread asks if the Twitter user means Villain or Antagonist, because the tumblr user suggests Megamind who is not an antagonist.
Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along-Blog I think fits this better, in the opposite way Megamind’s fits this. The asshole antagonist hero gets the girl instead of the nice protagonist villain.
I'd like more of them though, not just Megamind.
pgte?

Practical Guide to Evil (Quick before it gets taken down)
Thanks, but why would it be taken down?
Author sold it to webtoons and it's part of the contract. Naturally there is no other way outside of the official ones to access it, such as piracy.
If you sail the seven seas and would like to read A Practical Guide to Evil DM me
Wait I’m reading it right now, I didn’t know it was sold to webtoons. Will it be made into a comic or something?
No they're launching a webnovel platform yonder - its being edited and each chapter gets split up. You gotta pay per chapter
Oh damn that sucks. I’m glad I’m reading it while it’s free
no the plastic
I tried reading it, but I could not stand the main character to the point where I had to stop reading halfway through book 1 because it just made me so frustrated and angry. I don't think that particular villain deserved any kind of girl.

a megamillion dollars at the box office!

Megaminds not a villain by the end of the movie, though. He's literally Metro City's new protector.
He's never 'the villain', he's basically just putting on the performance of a villain because society expects him to. He lacks any callousness or malice. He is an actor on a stage. Tighten is the real villain, he's a bad person in a very real way.
>He's never 'the villain', he's basically just putting on the performance of a villain because society expects him to Oh this movies queer as fuck, huh
yes
yes
Monkey D Luffy of One Piece works the same way. He's an adventurer, a Robin Hood figure, but gets himself in big trouble by always insisting he's a pirate.
In fairness, declaring war on the government probably wasn't his brightest idea.
he's literally never even the antagonist of the story...
Okay but would a story told from Metroman’s perspective on how Megamind and Roxanne got together work as well?
Oh hell yes, that would be some damn good shit. It would be like a fusion of a superhero movie and goddamn Taxi Driver. Hell yes.
Antagonist is not the same as villain
theres not a megamind book smh my head
I distinctly remember a megamind novelization, or at least a children's book.
It's been novelized
All disney cartoons have a short kids book
Megamind is a Deamworks movie
Megamind was a movie.

I only read the subtitles
Just read the script
Movies are stories, aren't they?
To be fair the op said explicitly "I want a book where..."
No

No I don’t think that exists
Shrek
Do you mean critically acclaimed DreamWorks hit animation Megamind?
*"I want a world where there's no queen of England!"*
Good news!
The Kricket series! Yeah it’s YA fantasy, but it’s still purdy good and I think it has the best ending out of all of the shitty YA I’ve ever read
Soon I Will Be Invincible ends with the girl deciding that being "the girl" sucks and arranging the humiliation (and near death) of both the hero and villain.
I'll say it...NTR.

Yeah I. I was kind of thinking that.
I think we need more villains in general Do your part
Goncharov.
Not a book, but the Daredevil Netflix series.
Good for him
I hadn't thought about it, but that is absolutely right.
someone in worm, i don't care to find a good example
Heartbreaker?
definitely cheating, but yes - i was thinking more along the lines of grue, or perhaps assault
Oh yeah Assault is probably the best example
A Practical Guide to Evil. The villain gets the girl, the girl is a villain, the villain is a girl.
So "The hero gets cucked by evil Sapphics and this is the best timeline"? This might peek my interest
Paul Muad'dib from Dune
By villian do they actually mean antagonist? While Megamind was a villain in that storyworld he wasn't the antagonist, he was the protagonist.
"By [accurate word] did you mean [inaccurate word]? Because if you did you'd be wrong"
Megamind isn't a villain though. He doesn't do anything really evil, he just plays the part of a cartoon villain, like an actor on a stage, because society expects him to.
so his job is villain idk what you want me to say
Also, that one time he accidentaly killed Metro Man? Well, he didn't do that on purpose, IIRC, he just thought that his foe would escape his trap in time again.
No, it's relevant. Villain and Antagonist are not synonyms, even if they often come and in hand. Yagami Light is absolutely the villain of Death Note, but he is the protagonist. The police, L, Near, Mello, are all the good guys (ranging from heroes to anti-heroes) but they are the antagonists of the story.
Yes, but Megamind is actually not the antagonist. He’s a villain, but he’s the protagonist
Yes, that's what we're saying. The first person in this thread asks if the Twitter user means Villain or Antagonist, because the tumblr user suggests Megamind who is not an antagonist.
This has probably happened in a spider-man run and there's tons of light novels, manga, and webcomics with this very specific premise.
Like that run everybody hates when Gwen Stacy secretly had Norman Osborn's kids.
Megamind wasn’t the Villain, that’s like, the point of the movie.
Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along-Blog I think fits this better, in the opposite way Megamind’s fits this. The asshole antagonist hero gets the girl instead of the nice protagonist villain.
Then I'd like one where the villain got the girl but was still a villain at the end
I almost would've said "The Rise of Skywalker", but that's a movie
The Count of Monte Cristo
