@payneintheass:
Is Megamind really a better pic than the first Incredibles?
It's really not, at least, not by ranking. Audience score, rotten tomatoes, nominations, it's really not close, though Megamind has a better musical score I think.
Megamind is an underrated film though. Kind of a rare cartoon that feels like a better movie the 2nd time you watch it.

I think it fell in the valley where it had too much drama for a cartoon, where the Incredibles did the just right about of tension while maintaining cartoonish fun all the way through.
I'd also give Megamind the edge for the final battle, but incredibles has the great ending with baby powers, hitting Syndrome's plane by throwing a car at it and syndrome getting sucked into the jet by his cape, then the great bit at the track-meet and the hint for a 2nd movie. The incredibles also has Edna, the insurance company scenes, the fire, so many great bits.
Not much to add to the battle. I could see Syndrome winning by raw power, but Megamind should win the long game by outsmarting him. Syndrome is overconfident, Megamind is used to going up against superior foes.
