Megamind was 9 days old when his parents shipped him off the planet. His species is full of super geniuses, Megamind canonically remembers what was happening on that day.
We don’t know how old Minion is but regardless of that, what we do know is that Megamind’s parents trusted him to be a fully capable and responsible caretaker. So whatever he is and however old he is, we can assume he also has a good memory of their home planet and what happened.
Metroman, on the other hand... he has incredible physical powers, but definitely no impressive mind powers. Or else Hal would have become smart. There’s no reason to believe that Metroman’s intelligence or childhood mental development was any more impressive than the average human.
...what I’m saying is that there’s a nonzero chance that Metroman has absolutely NO idea where he is from. Parents probably didn’t have time to leave a note in his capsule. Dude probably thinks he’s just a super special human or some kind of lab experiment and that Megamind and Minion are the only two aliens in this situation. Doesn’t realize he was their galactic neighbor.
Just. Imagine them all hanging out as friends sometime after the events of the movie, and Metroman asks Megamind and Minion how they met each other. A totally innocent and normal question to ask.
But it snowballs into a much different conversation

A young Warden has to keep an eye on even younger Megamind and Minion. They've had a long day of causing mischief and collapsed as soon as they got caught.

Even though I'm not currently playing FFXIV I fell in love with the minion from the 2024 Heavensturn event: Ryunosuke. The most adorable chocobo baby in a dragon costume. How could I resist
A big thank you to my friends who supplied me with reference screenshots!

So, fun detail I just noticed about Megamind:
Famously, throughout the film Megamind mispronounces certain words, most notably: "hello" ("olo"), "Metro City" ("Metrocity") and "school" ("shool").
Like many fans, I'd attributed this and other oddities— like not knowing what a window is— to his unconventional upbringing and general social isolation. His speech sounds a lot like the way people pronounce words that they've only seen written down, so maybe he just hasn't had enough practice talking to other people out loud.
Lovely theory, very angsty, makes sense that this would be what the film-makers intended.
Except…
You know who doesn't seem to have this problem with pronunciation? And who in fact attempts to correct Megamind's pronunciation of various words more than any other character?
Fucking Minion.
Minion was there for literally every step of Megamind's childhood. They were raised on Earth together and went through seemingly the exact same experiences. Yet somehow Minion came out the other end knowing how to answer the phone and what a window is and why people use codes, while Megamind didn't.
And I am just so fascinated as to why.
Top three theories:
1. Megamind isn't actually mispronouncing words due to lack of practice, but rather for some other reason.
Maybe there's something up with his ability to hear certain sounds, or his alien anatomy makes it harder to pronounce them. Maybe he's neurodivergent (I mean, he definitely is, but maybe that fact is affecting his speech).
2. Megamind is mispronouncing things due to lack of practice, but there's something about Minion that makes him need less practice to pick up new languages.
Possibly as part of their protective role, his species has advanced language acquisition programmed in so they can act as translators. Else, while Minion and Megamind landed on Earth together, it's not 100% clear whether they were actually at the same age/developmental stage when that happened. If Minion was an adult (or older child) when he became fluent in English, he might have consciously focused more on accurate pronunciation than Megamind did.
3. Megamind is mispronouncing things due to lack of practice, but Minion is getting more practice than him.
This is… honestly the theory with the most evidence behind it. Like, we know that Minion isn't in jail at the start of the film, so he's clearly mot spending the same amount of time in solitary confinement that Megamind is.
He also appears to be in charge of providing Megamind with the resources needed to carry out his plans, which would presumably require him to communicate with scrap merchants, crocodile breeders and Romanian outlet store owners (among others) on the regular.
And like… if he's not getting thrown in jail whenever Megamind does, and Megamind is spending a fair amount of time on the inside, then Minion has to be doing something to pass the time. He's clearly a bit of an extrovert, and seems to take more pleasure in interacting with people than Megamind does.
It seems unlikely that he'd spend all his time sitting in the Evil Lair waiting for Megamind contact him or escape. So what does he do?
I find it both sweet and hilarious to imagine that Minion actually does have his own social circle outside of Megamind.
Minion goes to DnD on the second Tuesday of every month.
Minion gets advice on making costumes for Megamind from his weekly sewing circle.
Minion has been going to university online for the past eight years and is currently working towards his PhD in Marine Biology.
Minion is a semi-regular at Metrocity Night Clubs.
Minion does volunteer work sometimes with kids at the Metrocity hospital.
Megamind has barely any idea about any of this. Like, he knows Minion goes places at various times.
He knows that when he's rampaging through the streets Minion will sometimes stop to wave hello to various people that Megamind has never met. He's seen the half-orc paladin costume that Minion made for DnD.
But he's never really asked about it, and Minion has never seen the need to tell him. So long as Minion's happy, Megamind's happy, and so long as Megamind's happy, Minion is happy.
Meanwhile Roxanna, post-movie, has to grapple with the fact that sometimes she'll go to visit her boyfriend only for him to ask if they can go out for dinner instead because Minion's book club is meeting in the Evil Lair, and he's been gently encouraged not to come back after what he said to Helen about her (wrong) opinions on To Kill A Mockingbird.

Despicable Me became a cultural phenomenon instead of Megamind, and spawned many sequels and memes about the Minions.

but seriously the whole plot of the original movie is that megamind is so utterly lonely that having defeated his nemesis aka the person he's supposed to despise he gets bored. if you don't count minion and his prison uncles, metroman and roxanne were his only friends in... forever. that's not just a vital part of his backstory and therefore personality but it is also what kicks the entire plot of the original movie. if megamind wasn't lonely and used to isolation, he wouldn't be bored after defeating metroman. if you're gonna make a sequel, try not to change any minor things like, you know, the entire fucking story. and pay your writers and give them time to work while you're at it
