bad guys are made , not born

There are two lines in the movie that impressed me: heroes are not born , they are made; think about bad guys , they always lose. Human nature is inherently good? Human nature is evil? It's not all caused by the day after tomorrow. Megamind isn't actually a bad guy at all, just a geek who is less socially capable than Sheldon and still gets rejected despite his efforts. Metroman is not a hero either, just a superpower who longs for an ordinary life. The rejection of classmates produces villains, and people's dependence produces metroman. There is no innate good and evil, only the influence of the day after tomorrow. According to what Megamind said, the villain did lose in the end. He actually lost as a villain, but he won back his true self.
