ETA: if your comparing Megamind as Bernard to Otto as Peter. That's a shaky comparison because to be blunt if Meganard had been sleeping with Roxanne he'd be a rapist. The fact they never got further than a single first kiss before the deception is revealed is the only thing that keeps the movie from crossing that line.
Way to many entertainment products are happy to show things that in real life are fucked up as part of their happy ending plot line. (See Every Rom com where Person A pretends to be something they aren't to get with Person B or to use spiderman again see Peter borderline stalking in his love interest in the Rami Trilogy and Amazing)
Otto knew Anna wouldn't stay with him if she knew so he was never going to tell her. That makes him a rapist. It is one reason the story line creeps me out especially with how many folks defend it. I mean the narrative already glossed over how freaking sick Otto was with his stunt. Otto is no different than real life killers who keep a victims phone and send text messages to family and friends giving them false hope only taken to the extremes that can only happen in a comic book.
Founded by girl geeks and members of the slash fandom, scans_daily strives to provide an atmosphere which is LGBTQ-friendly, anti-racist, anti-ableist, woman-friendly and otherwise discrimination and harassment free.
Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.
