    I don't like them having a baby at all. Gru was already a father with 3 adopted daughters, and babies are annoying in movies. It feels like them giving Gru a biological kid is a slight to the girls, as if they're not his "real" daughters because they're adopted.
    It might have been okay if the girls were more grown up. Margo being nearly an adult, Edith in her mid teens, and Agnes just becoming a teen. Then it might make more narrative sense to give him a new kid because his girls are growing up.

      I think the "Despicable Me" franchise could still work with multiple sequels if they didn't keep introducing so many new characters, and focused on the ones they already have. You could make one film exploring Gru's individual relationship with the girls: One film for Edith, one for Agnes and one for Margo. They could even work as prequel films or even shorts, you could even do a spin-off about the girls life before Gru because I'm fairly certain they're not biologically related to each other.

    I know it's "cartoon logic" but it's weird that over the course of now 4 movies, the girls didn't age at all, yet time kept going for a baby to be born. It's kindof a shame that despite the first movie being all about Gru growing a heart and adopting the 3 he would've used as pawns in his evil scheme, now they're pushed to the back because the Minions were a smash hit. Even if they came up with "things" for them to do during the 3, or now 4 movies, you can tell they were an afterthought compared to the Minion's antics and the main plot with Gru.

      So at least Agnes, Margo, and Edith should have grown up AND entered a higher education.
      Even my sister who has very high tolerance of cartoon logic calls this movie empty and mostly unfunny. Even more so, what was the entire Mega Minion side plot was for? They beat the bad guy post action and WITHOUT their powers!

    honestly the story would've been good if poppy was a neglected child (which is why she wants to go into villainy) but is taken under Grus wing as he tries to guide her towards good and teaches her that just because she wasn't treated well that doesn't mean she has to go into a villain role. This in turn could get Gru thinking about how maybe HE has been neglecting his OWN girls and could try to address that and have a heart to heart with them about the move and the new baby etc etc
    this would also make sense since Gru himself was a neglected child :/

      It would make a far better story though even then the studio cannot resit adding excessive amounts of dumb minion antics and still making the overall film a bloated mess.
      I was already done with this franchise by the third movie, not even bothered to watch the minion spin-offs as I seem to be the only person that finds them irritating.
      We’ll probably see at least one more minions thing but hopefully Illumination finds something new.
      …I’ve immediately thought of something that could be fun; alien invasion except they’re just here for an exchange program, we get an alien family and they get a human family. We see both perspectives, though I’m already thinking the human family would be more interesting to follow and the alien family would be the new minions doing wacky things.

Also children aren't that dumb either they can understand the film the enough times they watch it.

    This was the worst of the franchise.
    1. Despicable Me came out 14 years ago, so the original fans are 14 years older. Why is this movie made for kids even younger than their original fans?
    2. Gru stopped being a villain after movie 1. That's what made it interesting, without this it's a bad spy movie. Spy Kids at least stuck to a gimmick. Why is a former supervillain groveling to make friends with the neighbor?
    3. Filler. The movie is only an hour and a half, with too many scenes which do nothing for the story, and are hardly funny enough to justify at all. The salon, supermarket, and tennis scenes were just painful, boring and pointless. All they did was show our former supervillain and superspy being utterly incompetent in normal life, which isn't fun.
    4. They skip the plot. Supervillain escapes from maximum security, off screen. Evil schoolmaster tracks down the family under witness protection, no explanation. Baby and supervillain are transformed from insects back to humans, like it's no problem. We get filler scenes while the plot is swiss cheese.

      The evil schoolmaster tracked down Gru because the badger they stole had a tracker. When she's looking at Gru's new address on her screen, it says "Lenny tracker" in the top right corner. It's quite brief though, so it's easy to miss.

      id say a more evolved version of that where Margot wants to go to college to do normal people stuff and Edith wants to follow more in Gru's footsteps. And Agnes wants to start an animal sanctuary.
      The hijinks will all revolve around helping Agnes's animal sanctuary get off the ground and they have to pool their different skills and passions when they have to defend it against the big bad of the movie. Gru and which ever else daughter(s) and/or son get to be "dispicable" Chaotic good goblins and do it for the right reasons and the mom and Margot do their lawful good stuff and just protect their family in the best way they know how.

    One of my issues with this movie is how they made Gru an awkward weirdo. In the first two movies he was a badass, now he looks more like Riley from Inside Out 2. (Which I thought was a pretty good movies in its own right) The way he acted with the “new neighbors”, whose names I’ve already forgotten, was just stupid. I know they were trying to be comedic and funny with this one but, when that comes at the expense of a good story and strong characters, no one wants to see it. It’s sad to see a movie franchise that is loved as much as this one go spiraling down into a deep dark pit of disappointment.

    I think the "Despicable Me" franchise could still work with multiple sequels if they didn't keep introducing so many new characters, and focused on the ones they already have. You could make one film exploring Gru's individual relationship with the girls: One film for Edith, one for Agnes and one for Margo. They could even work as prequel films or even shorts, you could even do a spin-off about the girls life before Gru because I'm fairly certain they're not biologically related to each other.

Honestly each plot could of been their own movie, like the parents learning how to live a normal life and take care of their baby or one of just training poppy to be a villain, it would of been full circle as a famous villain taught Gru so him being a famous ex villain teaches a child who was like him to be a villain. I just think they wanted to do to much so it became watered down.

  • @DanielTomilson
    @DanielTomilson 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +19

    My thoughts... minor spoilers ahead...
    There is a lot to go through here, it feels like 10 trailers and 1 tv episode made into a movie, with some jokes from many years ago like "Honey Badger don't care" circa 2011.
    First movie came out in 2010 and was not aimed at 1-5 year olds, this one is 14 years later and is aimed at 1-5 year olds. The first 2 "jokes" of the movie are "they don't make regular milk anymore" which is a 1/10 Dad joke, and a goat that poops.
    The goat and baby raises several issues if you are dealing with Earth. Assuming the first movie was set in summer 2010, movie 2 can happen within days, on average 12 months to plan a nice wedding, Lucy is Pregnant in summer 2011 and this is roughly when they get the goat. Gru Jr. Is born 9 months later in fall, 12 months later he might speak, so we are probably into fall 2012.
    Not a problem but...
    So if Agnus was 4 at the start, Edith was 8, and Margo was 11... then Agnus would be 6, Edith would be 10, and Margo would be 13.
    But the baby goat would go from baby to adult in just 6-8 months, so Agnus' goat was young, had a son, and that son had a son to get the current one looking so young.
    Starting Scene, big issue
    Like 12 AVL agents attacked an evil high school with staff and a principle and 30 evil guests... and they somehow captured everyone or put trackers on them to capture before they left unharmed??? An evil high school that has no weapons checks and honestly should not have let Gru in because he's a famous snitch.
    Later all the bag guys from all 6 movies are in prison, the minions break the walls open, and none of them leave... none of these evil people who sing about how evil they are act like real humans.
    Big issue
    The Mega Minions story did not connect at all, AND most of the minions went to Dru by the end of the 3rd movue so why does Gru have more than a couple of his most loyal?
    Minor
    Why was Gru a solar panel salesman, we never saw a scene.
    Minor
    Why was Lucy so bad at hair, she was smart in movie 2 and could have at least looked up some basics
    Major
    Margo went to high school. Edith and Agnus went to Karate for like 8 hours, was it a just a Karate themed daycare, is the Karate Daycare Worker going to have to sue the AVL for emotional damages and lost wages while he can't wotk and has to move because he lost the respect of his students?
    Yes, somehow the evil school had to only be 10-30 minutes away from the second town and over an hour away from the city. Doable, but weird.
    Witness Protection doesn't really work without the disguses, Gru and the minions still look like Gru and the minions. I feel bad about the one who got stuck in a vending machine until he ran out of snacks and starved, why couldn't they just let him out by the next scene? Also who is Ralph, what happened to Kevin and former king Bob?
    Climax felt weak compared to the all the 5 other movies, felt smaller scale and lower quality action.
    I have seen Spy X Family, Gru and Lucy doing Tennis had amazing promise, and they gave up for dozens of red card jokes that did not land.
    Gru should have expected an evil high school pet to have a tracker, and the evil principal should have sent the bug man to Poppy's Treehouse, she only got to Gru's house a few minutes before the bug man arrived.
    Missing scene, I wanted to see how the bug man's bugs got hin out of super jail.
    Kharma Chamelon is a weird song choice, puts talent show around 1984 (after song came out), almost no 5 year olds are going to get a 1984 song reference with lipstick and wig. So somehow Gru was about 10 in 1969 to see the moon landing live, and then 14 in 1984 for talent show. That one bothers me....
    In my theatre, the nearby kids almost never laughed, but a few freaked out at when the bug man gave his angry threat video.

    Alr, here are my ideas to improve Despicable me 4, so let’s get on to it. (This may have spoilers)
    ------------------
    - Instead of making Gru jr a baby, he should be a kid, so it would be sympathetic and some good character development with gru.
    - The opening scene should have started with the news showing that Dru has been arrested by the *AVL* due to a chase along with Vector sent back to earth (so it makes sense for the post credit thing)
    + also the minions are in custody for details.
    - Also as Gru is watching the TV, feeling sad for his brother’s arrest but gets called by the *AVL* that maxime la mal is their wanted target.
    - After that call, make him prepare his *AVL* suit and also make his car entry like how dru’s car is like in the 3rd movie.
    - At the villains ceremony, instead of making gru reveal that he’s an *AVL* agent, The *AVL* agents have no patience so they charge into it.
    - As the *AVL* agents are fighting Maxime la mal, they should call his name to reveal that gru is an agent and the villains are shocked.
    - As Gru has no choice but to fight Maxime la mal, the villains should also help maxime la mal, but some of the *AVL* agents retain them to prevent the villains not to hurt gru.
    - While when gru is fighting maxime la mal, Lucy calls him to take her to the hospital. But while when gru is shocked and thinking about it, Maxime la mal should uppercut his jaws.
    - As Maxime la mal tries to kill gru, the *AVL* agents use some device to prevent him from killing gru and arrest him.
    - After that, gru rushes back to the car and then it cuts to lucy trying to give birth with Dr nefario, the girls, and the 3 minions, and the man himself, Gru. Accompanying him and helping her.
    - After when Lucy gives birth, it cuts to Gru Jr, crying, and then when the characters says the one word “aww”
    Gru picks him up and covers him in a blanket, Lucy tells him to name him they should make it name him “Gru Jr”
    - Now as i am human and not a AI robot, i shall rest now until i feel like editing it again and putting my new ideas into it.

    The whole time i was watching this movie i was thinking "oh, i wonder how this will be tied in to the main plot? Wait, no, its already concluded." It really feels like they just threw in as many characters as possible so they could make more toys. Like other people said, this would honestly be much better as a show. I would legitimately enjoy watching episodes centered around the tennis plotline or the mega minions actually doing LITERALLY ANYTHING of value.

    While watching this movie I was actually so disappointed with how little was happening in a movie that had so much happening at the same time. I was upset they never focused back on the girls adjusting to their new lives and I was waiting for something to happen to an already established character. Poppy was great, but everything with Gru’s daughters gets tossed aside and I was hoping the villains girlfriend was hinting at wanting to turn against him but she just stayed a boring tag along. And on top of the villain being boring, I was not looking forward to eating my food in the theater after I realized the villain was all about cockroaches. Nasty.

  • @thatoneguy6478
    @thatoneguy6478 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    IMO the movie has the following flaws:
    (text dump btw)
    - Storylines that have potential but barely have any purpose or effect on the plot and are only used for the funnies. (aka. how Lucy and the girls adapt to life in Mayflower)
    - Maxime has NO purpose as a villain: he’s introduced as someone who used to bully Gru, then painted as a victim who bullied him bcuz “gRu sTolE My sONg aT ThE tAlEnT sHOW!”, only for it to be revealed at the end that he was bullying Gru even before that. So he hates Gru because Gru hated him, basically! He also relies way too much on his wife to pose a threat, and if it weren’t for her he never would’ve temporarily gotten the upper hand. But more importantly, he only posed a threat to Gru and his family, unlike all of the other villains, whose threats actually affected Gru as a character.
    - Also, he gets defeated WAY too easily, and it’s anticlimactic. His “defeat” was merely just a way to make the Mega Minions have plot relevance, and even then, it’s honestly pathetic.
    - Speaking of his wife, she also has no purpose and gets defeated even EASIER than he did.
    - Generic dance party ending. Granted, the cover of “Everyone Wants the World” is decent, but HOW THE FUCK did Maxime become a human again? This applies to all of the other villains as well, for obvious reasons.
    - Perhaps the biggest flaw: it tries to be hip and modern so it can appeal to kids, but it’s pretty unfunny. My biggest examples would be the music used (including songs by Blackpink and BTS… which weren’t really needed) and the new kid characters: Gru Jr. and Poppy. They’re likable, but everything about Poppy, from her attitude to her appearance and even her lisp screams “KID/TEEN CHARACTER TRYING TO APPEAL TO THE KIDS/TEENS.” And need I say anything about Gru Jr? He’s literally just “the funny baby with an attitude” and a major plot device. If not for the plot, Gru Jr wouldn’t have any siginifance, and to top it off unlike his other children and Lucy Gru doesn’t go through any character development because of him. And in fact…
    - NO Character Development. I get that all the characters have already grown, but they can still grow. Show how life in Mayflower changes the characters, not how it affects them. The only characters who change just a little are once again, the new kid characters trying to appeal! The villain(s) especially don’t change one bit!
    - Humor is subjective, but I know not everyone is open to toilet humor and/or likes the Minions, so I’ll include this as a flaw also.
    - It’s really predictable at times. Ofc the baby will get kidnapped then later save Gru, ofc Maxine will manage to find Gru, and ofc the characters are too situationally stupid to put their house in lockdown!
    Overall, the film’s hilarity and likable characters (well, and I guess the soundtrack) are the only things that make up for the lackluster in story “kid-modern wannabe” excuse for a conclusion.
    I’m pretty generous, so I give it a 4.5/10, because I generally liked the film despite its flaws. What do you all think?

    While I haven't watched it yet, it's clear the franchise needs to be willing to be a bit "boring" sometimes.
    As in, focus more on the story with a few cast of characters while putting the comic relief characters on the sidelines.

    It feels like this movie had a point A and MAYBE a point B if you squint. Then they couldn't actually come up with a cohesive plot, so they came up with a bunch of modular scenes and smooshed them all together to make the audiance think there's something going on. The only parts of the movie I enjoyed was them using "Word Up" (Cameo) at the begining, "Everybody Wants To Rule the World" (Tears for Fears) at the end, and then the Honey Badger pop culture joke from the early days of youtube. Which was great, that actually got a laugh out of me. The rest of the movie, though? Not one. My biggest issue is that they wanted to spend so much time with the minons. I never understood why they were liked for more than 5 seconds, and I certainly don't understand why people would watch an entire movie about them. It was an entire 20+ minutes in this movie that they wasted either to pander to the grandma's on facebook or to pad run time. They literally served no purpose to the plot as a whole. They came back in the last moments to "help" defeat guy. His name and existance was not memorable enough. It's just annoying at this point.
    I saw the first movie when it came out, it was so good and it still gives me the warm fuzzies today. It actually had a plot, and you almost never see a guy adopting kids (even if entirely selfish and garbage at first) it's found family, but literal and I appreciated that. Unfortunately, the entire franchise, including spin offs, is just a pointless cash grab at this point. It's sad to see something that was really revolutionary get turned into some more soulless slop.

    I've only ever watched one and a half of the movies, and after my friend caught me up on the lore, I really think it should've stayed as a standalone movie, or stuck to just Gru and the girls as the protagonists. Yes even the woman character sounded really... weird to me for them to add. Wasn't the first movie already praised for not having a nuclear family, but a single dad with three adopted kids?

  • @arcanineryu
    @arcanineryu 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    This is a movie that absolutely REEKS of late production executive meddling. Like can just feel that theres all these scenes that have been clumsily cut and replaced with something more "safe for kids". Like id be willing to bet money that in the origional script, the villain used the roach minions a lot more. Tracking down grus family and getting through the safehouse defences with roach minions, but i expect this was changed because some executive assumed that this would have been too frightening for kids. Leading to even more cuts on top of that to basically get as close as they could to writing the roach villain out of the story as they could without wasting what was probably already designed digital assets.

    The worst part about this movie in my opinion, is the huge missed opportunity they had to make an amazing story. If they actually cared about making a well written story and not just making as many movies as possible, they would’ve ended it here. It could’ve been about how something tempts Gru back into villainy, and he has face a hard decision, maybe hiding it from his family, but his lack of presence at home is negatively affecting them. Then maybe the baby gets taken by whoever Gru is working with (if the baby even has to be in it at all) and he realizes what’s really important, chooses his family, and then the franchise is over, unless they want to do more minion movies

    If there’s 1 reason why I liked the movie, it’s because of this one background character:
    He’s a brain dude who’s in the background of the school reunion and the prison scene when Maxine and Gru were singing together. The school one, you can mostly see him behind Gru when Maxine is on stage talking about his little cockroach science situation. And when it cuts to Gru listening ( + the part where he reveals he’s changed to an AVL agent, wow so surprising I didn’t except that😐) you can see the brain behind him. Literally. (I’m saying literally cause “the brain behind someone” is kind of a metaphor) and then in the prison scene, you can then see him behind the 3 previous despicable me main antagonists, Vector, El Macho, and the zesiest one of them all, Bratt. If you look before it shows the 3 of them up-close, you can see the brain clapping his hands and then moving on to dancing and then right before one of those mega minions fly through the screen, you can see him dancing with someone else to the singing.
