    What IS a Minion? That was the question I started with when working on this theory. I wanted to REALLY understand these little guys, so I started searching the movies for information. Well Theorists, I found more that I expected buried in the Minions and Despicable Me movies. A LOT more. So much that I can definitely say that the Minions in the movies are NOT Minions. You'll have to watch to find out WHY!

      Isnt that the same with some Pokémon players(like me)? Now that I think about it... Pokémon are very different in Design, which makes them more memoriz(e)able... and the Minions look like 50%-60% the same, so... the Behaviour has to play a major role for the recognition of an Minion

    My film theory is that minions are the world's natural defense against evil however unwittingly. They’re naturally drawn to “evil” things and want to help them, but inevitably their help accidentally causes failure. Gru not being much a villain is what causes them to thrive with him.

      @The Film Theorists
      I'm just posting this here so that maybe people will notice cause this is like the third comment here
      @7:16 you are kind of wrong there. In the first movie when Kevin bob and Stuart were travelling in the boat to New York, (The part where Stuart imagined Kevin and bob as bananas and tried eating them), Stuarts(Or another minions I kind of forgot sorry) stomach rumbled. And clearly bob pointed to his mouth in a way of asking food. So we can say that the minions do need food. Why did the "space minion" survive weeks without food and start Kevin and bob started hallucinating after a few day? - Well that is possibly just a mistake in the movie. OR
      I have another theory-
      The minions which you told were cloned CAN survive harsh conditions with no food but the original minions like Kevin bob and Stuart clearly cant.
      I dont mean to prove you wrong or any thing cause i really do like your content I'm just pointing out don't take me wrong😄 BUT HEYYY THATSS JUST A THEORYYY, A FILMMM THEORYY

      I mean, still, the fact is that the Minions are underratedly _terrifying; _ as MatPat pointed out, just _three_ out of 230 basically took over one of the most powerful nations on Earth, and a single rabid Minion could effortlessly tear through layers and layers of Gru's best security technology (the same technology that spawned thousands of those immortal Minion clones to begin with), El Macho genuinely could've ended the world if he had actually managed to sic those thousands of Purple Minions onto the world's cities and governments.

    The minions are a hit or miss though. Gru used them as henchmen successfully, but every one of their leaders in the past, the french, dracula, dinosaurs, etc faced their doom because the minions are clumsy and mess up. That kind of balances them out.

    • @getonthelist5620
      @getonthelist5620 3 ปีที่แล้ว +55

      A record like that is not hit or miss. Almost everyone that the Minions have worked for has died horribly and their evil legacy was usually so thoroughly snuffed out that many of their former masters are thought to only be legends. The Minions seem to be evolution's way of fighting evil like a retrovirus.
      The only reason that Gru (It's always hilarious that no one gets the joke behind his name) is not feeding worms right now stems from him not actually being evil. Gru does lots of despicable things, but he's mostly just a really smart guy who has grown too frustrated with society to 'people' today. Admittedly he does a lot of things that have a fantastic potential for being incredibly bad, but nothing ever comes of it.
      Arguably the most notably terrible things he does are turning humans into Minions and trying to use kids to advance an evil agenda. The latter turns out to be a catalyst that eventually transformers him into a hero. The former is unquestionably tearing apart lives and families, but in doing so Gru expanded the greatest threat to the existence of Evil by fifty fold. That seems like a morally grey area to me, but hey that's just my opinion. My film opinion.

    What's neat is that in the third movie we see exactly what MatPat is talking about at the end of the video. The minions, despite still having strong attachments to Gru, can't resist running away with his brother Drew to go cause havoc. Luckily it does seem like some of the minions formed meaningful relationships besides just having an evil master. Dave and Jerry for instance stayed with Gru throughout the film when the other minions all quit to find new jobs. It shows that the minions don't neccessesarily have to serve an evil master but under the right conditions can learn to follow whoever they want. They'll still have that primal urge to cause mischief, but as with humans they may be starting to learn how to control those urges to a degree and find happiness in other parts of life.

    to be fair, when I had first watched the original movie when it came out, it sort of felt implied that they were all genetically made by Gru. That blue-print you see in the first movie, sort of confirms that for me. I think it is as always just a continuity error they made, when making a prequel. They had to change the original idea to provide a more interesting story.

      Before The Minions movie came out I always thought that Dr. Nfario made them, because in the first movie when one of the girls asks Gru what are they he looks at Nefario before reaponding they are his cousins. My theory is Gru discovers the minions and joins forces with Nefario who begins to clone them in order to form the army needed to commit his crimes(even though for his moon heist, Gru is the only one who even goes to space and the minions are just the labor force that made the rocket). Film theory said basicaly the same thing as what I said adding that thats the reason Gru treats a few minions better than the others

    My theory is that the minions are actually destroyers of evil, mostly because every evil master they've served has died (usually as a direct result of their actions) until they serve Gru. This is probably because he is actually a good guy, who just attracted the minions because he acts evil a lot.

The already fragile international economy dipped significantly during this time when the banking giant, Lehman Brothers, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, an event widely accepted as a major contributing factor to the global financial crisis.
      In the Mandarin version of the film in Taiwan, the sign is translated as "枉又憎集團", literally meaning "the corporation of wrongfulness and hatred". It is the reference of a late entrepreneur Wang You-theng (王又曾), who was accused of embezzlement and fraud and fled to the United States until his death."
