I’m surprised that they didn’t notice that you can actually see Young Gru at certain points throughout the movie, one example being that you can see him and his mom at the Freeze Ray booth at Villain Con
Fun fact, the reason why there are so many more Minions in Despicable Me is because of a blueprint you can find in the movie that shows that Gru learned how to clone Minions from corn kernels somehow
@@thatguylog1835in 2001 they were with Gru. So apparently Gru was more of a villain than Osama Bin Ladin, Saddam Hussein, Kim Jong Un, and other more evil/villain leaders
As we can see, Minions are pretty much invincible, so from an evolutionary standpoint, they would have no need to be afraid of anything. Yet not only have they evolved fear but they also experience it fairly often in situations that pose virtually no threat to them. This points towards the existence of a predator that specifically evolved to hunt Minions and may be the only thing capable of killing them.
@@varsityreviews707 Pain as a sense exists to tell you that something is threatening or injured. If the minions can't be killed, or severely injured, this would imply that they have no need for a pain sense. Since they have that, it implies something can kill them, some natural event or predator exists to give their pain a reason.
Every minion actually has a different look, but the differences are so small and subtle most of the time that you can only tell by looking very closely. I’m not even kidding.
the idea of being a soldier at the battle of gettysburg, one of the bloodiest battles in history, fighting for your life, when all of the sudden 1000 small yellow creatures burst out of the foilage wielding bayonets and chanting "BANANA!" is pretty damn wild
Well first off, Dracula was in a vulnerable state. He just woke up and the minions somehow forgot he is weak to the sun and open the blinds, killijg him on accident. I dont think theyre THAT powerful but I think theyre quite destructivr for their incompetence alone.
Not to mention the fact that heterochromia exists in real life across animals and humans, but they don't bat an eyelid at Dracula, mind-controlling hats, and the possibility that Gru was the first man on the moon
Imagine being pulled from your home, torn from your family, forced into a world full of people like you’ve never seen who speak languages you can’t understand, and a PILL WITH JAUNDICE suddenly owns the rights to your life
So even though it wasn't brought up in this Review, apparently Gru Steals the Freeze Ray from Dr. Nefario at Villain Con, since Gru uses it later to freeze Scarlet Overkill and her husband, and in Rise of Gru at least from the Meeting Dr. Nefario scene, Gru apparently completely forgot who Dr. Nefario was despite meeting him a year before, and Dr. Nefario apparently didn't know his Freeze Ray got stolen by Gru after he froze his hand in the demonstration, since Dr. Nefario thinks he's giving Gru his first gadget which is Sticky Fingers, I haven't seen Rise of Gru so. I don't know if Dr. Nefario knows Gru stole his Freeze Ray or not.
Proof that the minions from Despicable Me did in fact serve the Nazis AND Soviets during World War 2 and nearly went extinct in the process. Spoilers The Involvement of the Minions in World War 2, and the Near Extinction of the Minion Species. Introduction: It is a widely debated subject in the Despicable Me community that the Minions served Hitler between 1933 to 1945, with some claiming that such events could not have taken place given that the Minions were trapped in an ice cave for a long duration of time. However, some evidence in the Despicable Me universe points toward a possibility that the Minions not only served Hitler and Stalin, but engaged in a brutal civil war that nearly wiped out the species as a whole. Evidence No. 1: The Minions trapped in the ice cave are NOT the only Minions in the world. Proof: In the Despicable Me and Minions films, we see the Minions interacting with Human society on a rather normal scale. Whether it be going on vacation, joining the French Military, hitch hiking to the villainy convention, wandering through TV studios, getting ice cream and going out in public no one seems to bat an eye to the existence of the Minions. Given that the Minions have been around before the Dinosaurs, its not impossible to assume that there were millions, if not billions of Minions alive on earth given the time they had to spread across the globe. Some possible evidence that there were millions to billions of Minions is how little people react to them in society. No one seems to bat an eye to the Minions, implying they've been abundant and around long enough to be completely normalized by Human society. In fact the Minions may have well been completely integrated into human society instead of being viewed as a different species. In our universe, if a few hundred 3 foot half naked lemon Tic-Tacs speaking gibberish appeared in the middle of Times Square, not only would people immediately bat an eye, but all of the nation's three letter organizations would be swiftly mobilized to New York. This isn't the case in the Despicable Me universe. Evidence No. 2: The Minion species, while very resilient, is NOT immortal due to a severe weakness to biological and chemical attacks. Proof: In the starting paragraph, I mention that the Minions nearly went extinct from a brutal Minion Civil War. While this point may be contradicted by the Minions being able to survive explosions, torture devices, bullets, kinetic impact and many other lethal threats, the Minions are not very resilient to biological and chemical attacks. In Despicable Me 2, we see the Minions become mutated by the PX-41 Mutagen. Rapidly altering the effected Minion's DNA and causing drastic changes regarding: Tooth and mouth structure Abnormal hair growth Eye color Skin pigment Physical structure Personality and behavior Later in Despicable Me 2, we see Dr. Nefario cure the Minions using an antidote mixed with the Jelly from earlier in the film. The PX-41 Mutagen, and its respective cure are solid evidence that the Minions are not entirely immortal and possess a severe and potentially lethal vulnerability to biological and chemical attacks. While some may argue that the PX-41 Mutagen and its antidote did not kill the Minions, a disease or toxic gas could prove fatal showing they can be drastically effected by chemical and biological substances. Evidence No. 3: Stalin and Hitler both attracted Minions in large quantities to both sides of the Eastern Front, which would result in the gruesome Minion Civil War. Proof: Stalin and Hitler were both evil tyrants who would be seen as nothing more than soulless monsters to any human, but for the Minions, saying they were gods amongst Minion would be an understatement. With Stalin's gulags and Hitler's concentration camps, the two of them would be the greatest villians Minion kind had witnessed. With World War 2 beginning in the 1930s, the Minions suffered a brutal split in their society and culture, now voluntarily choosing sides of the Second World War between the two tyrants of the Eastern Front. Because of this, the Minions would engage in a brutal war to end the disagreement of whether Stalin or Hitler would be more deserving of Minion service and worship. Given their vulnerability to chemical agents, both Human and Minion soldiers of the Eastern Front would release chemical agents such as Chlorine, Phosgene and Mustard Gas across the front lines to attack the other side's Minion forces. Given the sheer bloodiness of the Eastern Front, its likely that the majority of the Minions would be killed in the Second World War. Only a few isolated pockets of Minions would survive following the Second World War, with a primary example being the Minions in the ice cave, having emerged following the World Wars with no knowledge of Stalin Or Hitler and the near extinction of their race. Evidence of a Minion Civil War occurring and being possible can be found at the end of Despicable Me 3, in which a sizable chunk of Gru's Minions defect to Dru, having deemed Dru more evil and more worth their service, along with the remaining chunk of Minions choosing to remain with Gru. Closure: It is unclear what happens after Gru gives chase to Dru at the end of Despicable Me 3, however it can be safely assumed that Despicable Me 4 will cover the complete extinction of the last remaining Minions as they battle it out through various means of chemical warfare over whether Gru or Dru is more evil. Despicable Me 5 will potentially cover Dru and Gru putting their differences aside from their battle in Despicable Me 4 and the two will begin tampering in the realm of genetic engineering in an attempt to revive the Minion species. However the Minions created via Gru and Dru's genetic engineering research would go wrong, and the new Minions would resemble the Post-Humans from All Tomorrows. Leaked script details suggest that the Post-Minions would follow Kevin becoming a female Temptor, Bob getting turned into a Colonial and Stuart being morphed into a Hedonist. It is currently unknown what other All Tomorrows species will appear in the 5th Despicable Me film. Overall, It is very likely that the minions did serve Hitler to some capacity, and nearly went extinct following World War 2. The tale of the Minion is nothing short but a tragic one. A culturally rich and intelligent race, which had been around before the Dinosaurs, choosing the path of annihilating themselves over two questions with no answer. Today they are a reminder, that Humanity must avoid the same fate as their Minion brothers. The Minions of the World Wars are to today's Humans as a grim teaching, telling us we must be careful with how we treat the choices of conflict and geopolitics, otherwise, we will hear the rhymes of the history books once more.

but the official minions on Twitter said that they only serve evil villains implying that Hitler was more worse than a vilian and the minions have no interest in them wouldn't this make no sense?
Y’know, one guy voices all the Minions, so every single Minion to every exist as the same voice. His name is Pierre Coffin, by the way, which is way too cool a name to be voicing squishy pills
Thank goodness that the Minions got trap in that ice cave during 1933-1945 or else they'd be involve in some serious hideous crimes against humanity that would so make it impossible to love and market them.
My favorite part of this movie was when the Minions™️ failed the invasion of the Soviet Union, and Adolf Hitler said "you guys make me Führious!", and proceeded to gun down all the Minions™️ who failed him with an MG-34.
That’s how hitler died. The minions were invincible and the bullets ricochet off of them. The nazis were so embarrassed that they framed it as a suicide
The one thing I cannot excuse from this film is that, while in 1960s New York City, the Minions weren’t IMMEDIATELY drawn to the absolutely VILE evil presence of Robert Moses in the city. Though, I’d imagine he’d turn them down for being too Yellow.
15:47 To be fair, Arthurian legend stems far back to the Early Dark Ages, before any parliamentary system was instituted. So by that logic if someone pulled the sword from the stone they would technically re-establish an absolute monarchy. Since the pulling of Excalibur is still viewed as a legitimate means of seizing the throne in the movie, it makes sense as to why Bob violated the system.
Actually Rise of Gru picks up 8 year later in 1976 where Gru says he’s almost 12 meaning he is 4 in this movie. Except they changed almost nothing about his character model so he looks and sounds the same when he’s a young child and as a preteen. Also you’re right about Minions being a trilogy as Rise of Gru seemed very sequel - baity at the end.
Actually during the scene where they go from the ice caves in Antarctica to… Britain, they actually go to the faked moon landing in 1969, which was broadcasted live. Meaning that time passes between New York in 1968 and Scarlet Overkill’s capture.
I think the reason Minions could expand their race so much, from the time the Minions movie takes place, to when Despicable Me happened, it could be either mitosis, or manually changing their genders, like frogs do. Seeing tadpole based Minion babies on a host Minion parent's back.
my favorite theory as the reason they know the English word boss is because most romantic languages and words stemmed from minions and were repurposed in other languages, so yeah they kinda did invent english
My favorite part of this movie is that since they were in a cave, they couldn't have worked for Hitler. The movie does not try to hide that they absolutely would have worked for him, which is not a problem at all
@@skyshunts I mean, working for villains is their entire purpose in life. The only thing that could have stopped them from working for Hitler if they were around at the time, would be if they gave their allegiance to Stalin, Mussolini, or one of the various other dictators of the time first.
I have a theory that since Minions existed before people, ancient humans got inspired by their language and as time went on, they took more and more of their language, but they took chunks. Explains why multiple languages share some words.
16:23-16:26 a noose is actually meant to break the neck and not choke the person. There's a certain distance you're supposed to fall when being hanged to break said neck. If you actually fall to far the noose will literally take your head off. I will return with more fun facts.
A weird aspect I notice in Minions is that as well as English, the Minions occasionally also speak Spanish. Because you can hear Kevin say "Sí" at one point, aka "Yes", and they count in Spanish as well
Josia and Brendt : the movie you've all been waiting for: minions Jude: No Josia and Brenda saying something I forgot about* Jude: This is actually my favorite movie
Foolish of you to not notice that there’s a Minion blueprint in Despicable Me 1. So they were made before this movie retcons that so that live basically forever. Stay tuned for more funny Minion facts.
There’s a nice TREY the Explainer video called “Prehistoric Warfare and the Origins of Conflict” where he talks about the archeological remains of cavemen who’re brutally tortured and killed. He seems to think other humans did it… but we know the truth…
best moments in Minions 2 is when they mix in some German along with the usual Spanish/Italian/English mixture: they're heard to say 'tschuess' and 'gesundheit'
Fun fact: This movie takes place before Pol Pot and the Cambodian genocide, before 9/11 and before Mao Zedong died, implying that Gru did something even worse than them.
I honestly think minions are like livers Squishy, can basically regrow half of its self, and you would probably be put on a list of you have more than one on your person
Jude went for the Incredibles reference with "what makes her super?" but it was a missed opportunity for a Megamind reference. "They're villains, she's a supervillain. What's the difference? Presentation!!"
So, in 7:09, Jude proposes the theory of minions being whitewashed from history somehow, and now that I spent a total of three and a half hours thinking about this, it could be very likely. First of all, minions are immortal, so no fossils would be found Second of all, minions were barefoot for several years, but as soon as they met more intelligent humans (around the time they killed the egyptians) you can see they have shoes or something covering their feet, so footprints could be confused with another human. Third and least likely of all, the area where the minions were hiding was in a really hard to reach area, at least for 1968, say antartica or a random snow valley somewhere, so research around those places (alongside the discovery of the minions) would simply not exist. Anyways i need to sleep its 3 am
3:45 that might actually be true. In a looney toons esque short where Bob gets stuck in a claw game and Stuart and Kevin try to get Bob out. During one of their attempts they pick Bob up by the goggles and the eyes leave Bob's body and come with the goggles
Fun fact: there is a timeline break in Minions the Rise of Gru. If this Minions movie comes before M TROG, then small Gru shouldn’t have the freeze ray to stop Scarlett as Dr, Nafario invented it and gave it to Gru after he started working for him as a result of the defeat of the vicious 6. Plus Gru used the Cheese ray in TROG as a reference to the freeze ray he gets in the future but DOESN’T have in Minions. He wouldn’t have met Dr. Nefario yet therefore can’t have the freeze ray.
Maybe Gru saw Nefario, steals the freeze ray, forgets about who Nefario looked like and his name. Finally maybe Gru just wanted to test out the Cheese ray.
3:43 I remembered seeing a Despicable Me short when one minion out of spite pulled back another minion's goggles, revealing what they looked like without them
17:18, that negotiation scene never made sense. "I will kill both of your friends, unless you show yourself to me so I can kill ALL THREE of you!" Either way, Kevin loses.
There’s two things I personally like about this movie. One the scene where the minions break in to the studio and they recording the moon landing. (which they faked) Two the scene where Stuart goes into the hot tub and has the fire hydrates and the one thing on FH are representing boobs. Stuff only that adults noticed. For some reason I know a shit ton about minions.
And if that means they worked for various bosses, then that must mean when WWII came around with the Angry Funny Mustache Man....(gulp) Ah yes, the US overthrew democratic Latin American governments with Minion militaries during Operation Condor. And the Argentine minion military under Galtieri invaded the Falklands, overconfident that the British wouldn't fight back...they clapped back hard and the Argentine regime collapsed.
The Minions are hero's as any time they get a new evil boss they typically killed them, or foiled their plans, besides Gru, who maybe they knew had some sort of good in him, so they just helped him out all of these years.
Speaking of England, my grandma said that one of her relatives fought in ww2 and they maid a pitstop in England, when they asked for some hot cocoa, the lady said: “CoCOa? EVeN tHe blOoDy quEeN dOesN’t hAvE CoCoa!”
So uh, about that Villain-Con in Orlando...they're not lying about that. Universal shut down Shrek 4-D (RIP Florida Man's Shrek shrine) at their Universal Studios Florida park in Orlando back in January of this year. This building is right across from the Despicable Me: Minion Mayhem attraction (what was once Jimmy Neutron's Nicktoon Blast and before that, The Funtastic World of Hanna-Barbera). What are they replacing Shrek 4-D with...VILLAIN-CON Also, as a New Yorker, NYC is a pretty "unique" city, like have you seen all the Only in NY clips? So seeing weird creatures like Minions in a city like NYC is just another day to us.

Spoilers
The Involvement of the Minions in World War 2, and the Near Extinction of the Minion Species.
Introduction:
It is a widely debated subject in the Despicable Me community that the Minions served Hitler between 1933 to 1945, with some claiming that such events could not have taken place given that the Minions were trapped in an ice cave for a long duration of time. However, some evidence in the Despicable Me universe points toward a possibility that the Minions not only served Hitler and Stalin, but engaged in a brutal civil war that nearly wiped out the species as a whole.
Evidence No. 1: The Minions trapped in the ice cave are NOT the only Minions in the world.
Proof:
In the Despicable Me and Minions films, we see the Minions interacting with Human society on a rather normal scale. Whether it be going on vacation, joining the French Military, hitch hiking to the villainy convention, wandering through TV studios, getting ice cream and going out in public no one seems to bat an eye to the existence of the Minions. Given that the Minions have been around before the Dinosaurs, its not impossible to assume that there were millions, if not billions of Minions alive on earth given the time they had to spread across the globe. Some possible evidence that there were millions to billions of Minions is how little people react to them in society.
No one seems to bat an eye to the Minions, implying they've been abundant and around long enough to be completely normalized by Human society. In fact the Minions may have well been completely integrated into human society instead of being viewed as a different species. In our universe, if a few hundred 3 foot half naked lemon Tic-Tacs speaking gibberish appeared in the middle of Times Square, not only would people immediately bat an eye, but all of the nation's three letter organizations would be swiftly mobilized to New York. This isn't the case in the Despicable Me universe.
Evidence No. 2: The Minion species, while very resilient, is NOT immortal due to a severe weakness to biological and chemical attacks.
Proof:
In the starting paragraph, I mention that the Minions nearly went extinct from a brutal Minion Civil War. While this point may be contradicted by the Minions being able to survive explosions, torture devices, bullets, kinetic impact and many other lethal threats, the Minions are not very resilient to biological and chemical attacks. In Despicable Me 2, we see the Minions become mutated by the PX-41 Mutagen. Rapidly altering the effected Minion's DNA and causing drastic changes regarding:
Tooth and mouth structure
Abnormal hair growth
Eye color
Skin pigment
Physical structure
Personality and behavior
Later in Despicable Me 2, we see Dr. Nefario cure the Minions using an antidote mixed with the Jelly from earlier in the film. The PX-41 Mutagen, and its respective cure are solid evidence that the Minions are not entirely immortal and possess a severe and potentially lethal vulnerability to biological and chemical attacks. While some may argue that the PX-41 Mutagen and its antidote did not kill the Minions, a disease or toxic gas could prove fatal showing they can be drastically effected by chemical and biological substances.
Evidence No. 3: Stalin and Hitler both attracted Minions in large quantities to both sides of the Eastern Front, which would result in the gruesome Minion Civil War.
Proof:

Only a few isolated pockets of Minions would survive following the Second World War, with a primary example being the Minions in the ice cave, having emerged following the World Wars with no knowledge of Stalin Or Hitler and the near extinction of their race.
Evidence of a Minion Civil War occurring and being possible can be found at the end of Despicable Me 3, in which a sizable chunk of Gru's Minions defect to Dru, having deemed Dru more evil and more worth their service, along with the remaining chunk of Minions choosing to remain with Gru.

Despicable Me 5 will potentially cover Dru and Gru putting their differences aside from their battle in Despicable Me 4 and the two will begin tampering in the realm of genetic engineering in an attempt to revive the Minion species. However the Minions created via Gru and Dru's genetic engineering research would go wrong, and the new Minions would resemble the Post-Humans from All Tomorrows.

Thank goodness that the Minions got trap in that ice cave during 1933-1945 or else they'd be involve in some serious hideous crimes against humanity that would so make it impossible to love and market them.
that's the reason the ice cave was there
Nah the ice caves were just propaganda by Gru. We all knew what they were really doing
yes
They totally owned slaves, though
@@ijustlikebees They would have also helped the Romans kill Jesus.
My favorite part of this movie was when the Minions™️ failed the invasion of the Soviet Union, and Adolf Hitler said "you guys make me Führious!", and proceeded to gun down all the Minions™️ who failed him with an MG-34.
That’s how hitler died. The minions were invincible and the bullets ricochet off of them. The nazis were so embarrassed that they framed it as a suicide
truly one of the scenes in cinematic history

The one thing I cannot excuse from this film is that, while in 1960s New York City, the Minions weren’t IMMEDIATELY drawn to the absolutely VILE evil presence of Robert Moses in the city. Though, I’d imagine he’d turn them down for being too Yellow.
15:47 To be fair, Arthurian legend stems far back to the Early Dark Ages, before any parliamentary system was instituted. So by that logic if someone pulled the sword from the stone they would technically re-establish an absolute monarchy. Since the pulling of Excalibur is still viewed as a legitimate means of seizing the throne in the movie, it makes sense as to why Bob violated the system.
Actually Rise of Gru picks up 8 year later in 1976 where Gru says he’s almost 12 meaning he is 4 in this movie. Except they changed almost nothing about his character model so he looks and sounds the same when he’s a young child and as a preteen.
Also you’re right about Minions being a trilogy as Rise of Gru seemed very sequel - baity at the end.
Actually during the scene where they go from the ice caves in Antarctica to… Britain, they actually go to the faked moon landing in 1969, which was broadcasted live. Meaning that time passes between New York in 1968 and Scarlet Overkill’s capture.
He must be a squeaker on voice calls then.
I'm pretty sure the ending was hinting at the other movies.
I think the reason Minions could expand their race so much, from the time the Minions movie takes place, to when Despicable Me happened, it could be either mitosis, or manually changing their genders, like frogs do. Seeing tadpole based Minion babies on a host Minion parent's back.
No... Oh god no... Nooooo!

My favorite part of this movie is that since they were in a cave, they couldn't have worked for Hitler. The movie does not try to hide that they absolutely would have worked for him, which is not a problem at all
I'm honestly surprised they even put Hitler in a kids movie
I feel like they would serve the empire of japan
@@plushluigi7417 or stalin
@@skyshunts I mean, working for villains is their entire purpose in life.
The only thing that could have stopped them from working for Hitler if they were around at the time, would be if they gave their allegiance to Stalin, Mussolini, or one of the various other dictators of the time first.
I have a theory that since Minions existed before people, ancient humans got inspired by their language and as time went on, they took more and more of their language, but they took chunks. Explains why multiple languages share some words.
i know that i’m over half a year late, but that is genuis
Scarlet is the only person in the movie that’s actually aware that the minions aren’t human 13:01
16:23-16:26 a noose is actually meant to break the neck and not choke the person. There's a certain distance you're supposed to fall when being hanged to break said neck. If you actually fall to far the noose will literally take your head off. I will return with more fun facts.
Ok
that make me want to do it even more
@@piranhalettuce let me help you with that... :)
A weird aspect I notice in Minions is that as well as English, the Minions occasionally also speak Spanish. Because you can hear Kevin say "Sí" at one point, aka "Yes", and they count in Spanish as well
It’s because their language is a mishmash of many different ones
King bob speaks malay
14:10 As a resident of England I can confirm that Bob was king in 1900's era or whatever time it was.
I really want to hear Brendan use his voice impersonations skills and try and impersonate a minion’s voice.

Foolish of you to not notice that there’s a Minion blueprint in Despicable Me 1. So they were made before this movie retcons that so that live basically forever.
Stay tuned for more funny Minion facts.
The theory is that there are the original minions, then Gru made more of them
Weren’t they like modified corn or soemthing?
There’s a nice TREY the Explainer video called “Prehistoric Warfare and the Origins of Conflict” where he talks about the archeological remains of cavemen who’re brutally tortured and killed. He seems to think other humans did it… but we know the truth…

Fun fact: This movie takes place before Pol Pot and the Cambodian genocide, before 9/11 and before Mao Zedong died, implying that Gru did something even worse than them.
The minions only get a new boss once their old one dies ( or if the old boss isnt evil anymore )

That’s worse
Jude went for the Incredibles reference with "what makes her super?" but it was a missed opportunity for a Megamind reference. "They're villains, she's a supervillain. What's the difference? Presentation!!"
12:41 Missed opportunity to say “You know what really grinds my gears?”
So, in 7:09, Jude proposes the theory of minions being whitewashed from history somehow, and now that I spent a total of three and a half hours thinking about this, it could be very likely.
First of all, minions are immortal, so no fossils would be found
Second of all, minions were barefoot for several years, but as soon as they met more intelligent humans (around the time they killed the egyptians) you can see they have shoes or something covering their feet, so footprints could be confused with another human.
Third and least likely of all, the area where the minions were hiding was in a really hard to reach area, at least for 1968, say antartica or a random snow valley somewhere, so research around those places (alongside the discovery of the minions) would simply not exist.
Anyways i need to sleep its 3 am
3:45 that might actually be true. In a looney toons esque short where Bob gets stuck in a claw game and Stuart and Kevin try to get Bob out. During one of their attempts they pick Bob up by the goggles and the eyes leave Bob's body and come with the goggles
Fun fact: there is a timeline break in Minions the Rise of Gru. If this Minions movie comes before M TROG, then small Gru shouldn’t have the freeze ray to stop Scarlett as Dr, Nafario invented it and gave it to Gru after he started working for him as a result of the defeat of the vicious 6. Plus Gru used the Cheese ray in TROG as a reference to the freeze ray he gets in the future but DOESN’T have in Minions. He wouldn’t have met Dr. Nefario yet therefore can’t have the freeze ray.
Maybe Gru saw Nefario, steals the freeze ray, forgets about who Nefario looked like and his name. Finally maybe Gru just wanted to test out the Cheese ray.

There’s two things I personally like about this movie.
One the scene where the minions break in to the studio and they recording the moon landing. (which they faked)
Two the scene where Stuart goes into the hot tub and has the fire hydrates and the one thing on FH are representing boobs.
Stuff only that adults noticed.
For some reason I know a shit ton about minions.
“See there’s been female villains but there hasn’t been female supervillains.”

Ah yes, the US overthrew democratic Latin American governments with Minion militaries during Operation Condor. And the Argentine minion military under Galtieri invaded the Falklands, overconfident that the British wouldn't fight back...they clapped back hard and the Argentine regime collapsed.

The Minions are hero's as any time they get a new evil boss they typically killed them, or foiled their plans, besides Gru, who maybe they knew had some sort of good in him, so they just helped him out all of these years.
