That's right: The legendary comedy duo Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are bringing their laughs on the road! History is being made as two of comedy's funniest friends team up for their first-ever joint comedy tour. In Hal Stewart, it showed a regular guy breaking bad after he realizes that getting superpowers doesn’t make him any more “special.” It’s a fascinating prologue to a decade defined by superhero cinema.Watch Saturday Night Live on NBC Saturdays at 11:30/10:30c and next day on Peacock.

In Megamind, it showed a good person undercut by “not the chosen one” circumstances of his birth who nonetheless eventually embraces his own path. Like any number of DWA toons ( Kung Fu Panda, How to Train Your Dragon, Antz, Turbo, etc.), it’s about a protagonist who pushes back against the role society has chosen for him. It stood out then and now as a big-scale superhero comedy that actually had something to say about the mythos and some of those who relished them.

Ten years later, Megamind remains a slightly ahead-of-its-time genre deconstruction that had the bad luck to follow a slightly similar game-changing smash hit. It predicted the notion that some (stereotypical) “nerds” and “outcasts” would, upon their favorite pop culture turning mainstream, become bullies dedicated to keeping everyone else out of their sandbox.

Megamind’s application of these themes and ideas to the superhero fantasy template was predicative of a decade’s worth of superhero cinema (from Thor to Joker) being viewed through the critical lens of male entitlement and adolescent power fantasies. His appearance in this film, alongside both Hill and Brad Pitt as the film’s Superman stand-in, is not just about stunt casting. Will Ferrell’s career as an actor ( Step Brothers, Talladega Nights, The Campaign, The Other Guys, etc.) has been defined by men who live their lives by an almost cartoonish version of so-called manhood.
