    Apparently a director of the movies said that Minions can't biologically reproduce, either by splitting apart like amoeba or sexually. I think this could explain the retcon about Minions being created by Gru. Instead of making them from scratch like it was implied in the first movie he simply started cloning them around the time he was an adult explaining the blueprints for a Minion in the background of the first Despicable Me movie.

The man is several times denser than the asphalt that got cratered. Maybe he's doped on that Minion juice too?

    according to the height of a
    Minion (which is 3.5 feet on average) Gru is 4
    minions tall, which means he is a godly size of
    14 feet tall. Second if any of you remember
    the original Despicable Me, you Know there is
    a scene when Vector kidnaps the three girls
    and shoots a series of heat-seeking misses at
    Gru, he then dodge them all. According to the
    speed of an average ballistic missile (1900
    mph) and the size of the missile according to
    his ankle size, Gru can perceive and move at
    such a speed that the missiles only move 9.5
    miles per hour, 0.5% of their original speed.
    Plus after this Gru punches a shark and it is
    paralyzed meaning its spine is probably
    shattered, to remind you it would require a
    force greater than 3,000 newtons to fracture
    the spine. That's equal to the impact created
    by a 500-pound car crashing into a wall at 30
    miles per hour.😵🥲

    Film Theory Idea: How did the animals in Zootopia evolve and thrive in the society they live in? Because carnivores, such as lions and tigers, must have to eat other things instead of meat and how would it effect them. Also at the beginning of the film it clearly shows there were natural ecosystems so how do the " districts" are so close and finally can climate change play a fact in their world and the demise of their society?Thought it would be an interesting topic.

    • @hexi9595

    I would say isolating them from a villain too. It would be a much slower process, since in the minions movie it takes a few centuries, but when they're in the ice cave with no villain, they start to give up on life. Plus, it even states that if they didn't have a villain they would PERISH. Perish is a key word because that means ☠

    Since they might have evolved separate to eukaryotes, they might not even have telomeres. Procaryotes like bacteria often have ring shaped DNA, thus they don't need telomeres. In the Intro of the Minions it isn't clearly shown if they have circular, chromosomal or some other kind of DNA, but it definitely is a possibility. A circular DNA would also explain why they don't age, and would make it easier for Gru to clone them and for El Macho to mutate them

    Hey MatPat, I have a very special request for a Film Theory. I feel like now is more appropriate than ever. In case you weren't aware, around this time 2 years ago, Denise Nickerson (Violet Beauregarde from Willy Wonka) sadly passed away after multiple health complications. In her honor, I would like to see you tackle the science of Wonka's Three course meal chewing gum, and I mean all aspects, including how it can change its flavor over time, how it can mimic the satisfaction of a three course dinner, leading up to, of course, what goes wrong that turns the victim into a blueberry. You can also maybe go into some nutritional facts like with the Marshmallow Man theory, or HOW the victim is supposed to be juiced, but let's not make it gross!
    With the 50th anniversary of the movie just passed, I believe this would be a perfect way to celebrate and pay tribute to such a beloved actress!

    Sooner or later, it will solidify into rock. Good luck getting out of there or moving at all once this happens. It would become a horrible prison for life, maybe hundreds of years, until eventually dying from lack of oxygen, water or food
    edit: Also, the fact that they can resist extreme heat for a few seconds or minutes does not mean they can forever. Surely you could survive 60-70ºC (140-160ºF) for 3-5 minutes, but imagine it being 15 minutes or even hours. dehydration is inevitable, same would happen to the minions

      WAIT. How many times has Gru gotten hit with missles? On the first movie, Vector hits Gru with his arsenal and Gru comes out of it just like a minion: scuffed up but unscathed. He's been hit with lasers as well. And the traps for El Machos base, which he was hit with and survived. (Side theory: minions, and by extension Gru, are immune to poison, because you know those darts were poisoned. Or at least a sedative, which they were immune to.) Gru has unlocked their secrets. The reason they haven't bumped him off is because they can't. He's the best boss because he can use them effectively and survive their blunders. Gru is a true mastermind. On top of this, he managed to become an offensive force. HE STRAIGHT UP SUCKER PUNCHED A SHARK SO HARD IT WAS PARYLISED. He dodged HEAT SEEKING MISSLES, and also tightroped a thousand feet up on an unstable wire without falling off. (Until the line broke, but at that point falling is no longer his choice or in his power to prevent without violating the laws of physics.) He absolutely has the power and potential to be the worst villan ever known, the problem is that he only ever became a villan because his mom sucked and never cared about him. His heart wasn't in it. We see his true power when something he truly cared for was threatened or at stake. STEALING THE ACTUAL MOON DIDNT EVEN REQUIRE HIS FULL POTENTIAL. GRU IS UNSTOPPABLE. EVERYONE GO HOME.
