(Anonymous) 2012-07-02 11:52 pm (UTC)(link)From Avengers (about Loki): "He killed 80 people in two days."
I don't think so, OP. They might have started out as similar acting-out-for-attention characters, but they become way different people. Loki is evil. Megamind is not.

Megamind eventually became someone who wanted to be a better person, though it took him a bit to finally realize it. Loki had become consumed by his anger and was pretty unrepentant about his actions and the effects they'd wrought on others.
A classic case of apples and oranges, imho.

(Anonymous) 2012-07-03 07:42 am (UTC)(link)Not just similar science disciplines and musical tastes, but a certain 'coming back from being bad' after being 'bad' as blown up in their faces. They're both making up for past sins (Tony as an arms dealer and general cock up, Megamind as a villain) and share a lot of key personality traits: namely, intelligence, arrogance, not really wanting to be a good guy.
They also both have issues with living up to the father-figure/past that was laid out for them: Howard was an abusive drunk prick who fucked Tony up hardcore, and Megamind was raised in a prison and taught "Wrong" over "Right". They start out as products of their upbringing, and circumstance forces them both to reconsider and reorient their lives. They also both love tech, AC/DC, huge performances, and being flashy.
Loki and Megamind are superficially alike; and the whole 'secret Jotun' helps a great deal to foster, but Loki had a thousand things that Megamind didn't have: a loving family (sorry, don't buy the 'Odin was an abusive prick and Frigga loved him' as portrayed in the movie canon) with a devoted brother who was kind of a dumbass, but in the end, Loki couldn't be satisfied with being a beloved son and brother, he had to have it all. He was being bad before he knew about his Jotun angst... and will probably never, ever look back and accept culpability for his actions.
