Experiment Opinions on "incel" characters in media?

[Jacobr0od]

So I was rewatching Megamind and I noticed that both the title character and Hal Stewart fit the current perception/definition of what it means to be an incel. Neither character is seen as attractive by anyone around them and both spend most of the movie/their lives being outshined by the movie's "Chad", Metro Man. Both Hal and Megamind struggle socially (Megamind's only friend is a fish) and the only people Hal is around is Roxanne who was really just a coworker, and his "Space parents" who were just using him for personal gain.

What do you guys think of them in terms of representing social isolation/inceldom and what do you think of my take? Do any of you relate to either character more or have other characters that you think better encapsulate yourselves or people you've seen posting here?

Film makers have no idea how to portray an incel in a movie

Have you ever seen a character you thought came close? If so, what about the character was good; if not, what would strike a chord with you/what would you want to see more of?

Tighten is an incel but not a truecel amd tbh hes too much of a simp.

Hes like a DBDR given power only DBDR IQ mogs Tighten.

Megamind is mentalcel and environmentcel.

Also we shouldnt forget he was not that interested in chasing women besides Roxanne

+ he's an Alien.

There's this 2023 french film called La bete (The beast) it features George MacKay as an incel called Louis who creates videos very similar to what Rodger did and even says some of the same lines before he goes ER.

Ernest Borgnine as Marty is a pretty good old school example. Those of course the ending of the movie is bluepilled
