Despicable Me (franchise) Puns

Here's the Movie Idea: Okay so you remember how in the minions movie it showed serving the most despicable people throughout history, but conveniently left out the period of 1930's-1950's? Well I've an idea for a cinematic masterpiece, during this period the minions are embroiled in a civil war over who to serve between Hitler, Stalin, and Mao. This is due to the fact the minions have different opinions on how to quantify evil and thus can't unanimously decide on who they should serve. The movie would include showing the different factions of minions committing the horrendous crimes of their respective dictators. With the Nazi minions operating the concentration camps along side German troops and supervising the forced labor factories. The soviet minions shooting political dissenters, running the gulags, and supervising the starvation of whole regions. The Maoist minions would be the ones enforcing the great leap forward, imposing collectivization on the peasants, and doing the legwork of the cultural revolution. And all the while fighting each other over who was serving the most evil person, with different factions using show trials, forced confessions, and executions to enforce their views upon the other minions. While the whole movie would be very very dark, it would also enhance the comedy of the other movies in the series showing how this civil war regressed minion society through the killing off the intellectual ones leading them to decide Gru was evil since they couldn't properly quantify evil anymore. This would ultimately give the minions in the other movies a redemption arc showing how their dark past has led them down a path that would bring them back to the light. Ultimately the main conflict in the movie revolves around how we as a society quantify evil, do we base it solely on how many people died, or do we base it off a combination of the human death toll and how morally contemptible the ideology that drove the actions were? This would force the viewers to step back and think deeply about how they as an individual define evil, since the movie wouldn't provide a direct answer by showing one faction win out over the others, but would instead show the result of the minion civil war, a broken and downtrodden species searching for meaning in a world that does all it can to stomp out the kinds of people they serve.

It's like how the muppets have kids stuff and adult stuff, this would be the adult stuff for the m

I am huge fan of minions and have seen all of the movies. but in every movie the minions are portrayed as indestructible cute little creatures. That begs the question how the hell can u kill this cute little things if one day they may try to all humanity ? Im sure that there might be at least one weakness to them

Each have 14 days to reach the moon and land successfully, Minions have gru’s assistance on building the rocket.

change my mind

Imagine you have to show 120 kids of ages 3 - 11 years one of these popular franchises.
They have similar amounts of Minions and Frozen related toys and stickers everywhere. Which would you choose to show and why?

The quality of the above mentioned franchises are really bad, but they contain to make big chunks of money.

It may seem obvious at first. How could one guy and a bunch of wacky tic tacs beat an advanced alien army lead by a God? But you'd be forgetting just how powerful Gru and his minions are. Yes the Chitauri have those flying chariot things and their blaster spear things and those giant armoured space whales but don't count out Gru and the gang just yet.

First off, In Minions we see that the Minions evolved from single cell organisms to what we see today. They haven't evolved since they first walked out of the ocean! They're like Sharks, they haven't evolved in millions of years because they're already perfect. In fact Wikipedia states that they have existed since the beginning of time. Not only that but they evolved to not need food. They lived in an ice cave for probably over a century. They also have military experience, remember that they were part of Napoleon's army until they shot him point blank with a cannon.

After at least a century three of them go to New York then to Orlando were they get recruited by the then best Villian in the World, Scarlett Overkill.

They break into the Tower of London which leads to a police chase that ends when the smallest minion pulls free the sword from the stone thus dethroning the queen and becoming King Bob. Scarlett has them Tortured which does absolutely nothing to them. In fact they play on the torture devices as if it were a playground!

They accidentally drop a chandelier on Scarlett and get chased by several other Villians until two of them are captured. One single minion then breaks into Scarlett's castle and becomes a giant. When he goes to rescue his friends Scarlett fires a missile at him which he swallows. Scarlett trys getting away using a rocket powered dress which the giant minion holds onto until the missle explodes! Somehow the godlike minion survived the explosion and returned to normal size.

Yeah, for all the hate they get minions are pretty badass. And that's just the minions, we haven't even talked about Gru yet.

Gru never knew his father and his mother couldn't care less about him. In Despicable Me 3 we hear that his mom once told him his dad died of disappointment when he was born.

As a child inspired by the Moon landings Gru built an actual rocket in his backyard from his Blueprints which were just Macaroni art! His mother reacted with a "meh". Gru didn't let any of this slow him down either. He became a world class Villian up to the point where he stole the Times Square JumboTron! And

Seems like it's a 50/50 depending on Japan.

It'll need 110 on top of what it currently has.

So basically a few weeks ago I saw this meme that went, "Never ask a woman her age, a man his salary, and minions what villain they served from 1933-1945." I thought this was funny for some reason, so I showed it to one of my friends. I'm bilingual and can fluently speak Chinese and English, and my friend was an exchange student that only spoke Chinese. He took it the wrong way, and then he told his parents, who are also fluent Chinese speakers but cannot speak English, who happened to be arranging a birthday party for my friend's brother. The birthday party was supposed to be based on minions and Despicable Me, which was my friend's brother's favorite movie. However, my friend's parents thought that Despicable Me was a satire based on World War II, which I can kind of understand since the movie is about a guy trying to take over the world. Also, there was this other disturbing movie in the franchise were a bunch of minions got kidnapped and turned purple and evil by some fat guy, which probably did not help with their belief. They immediately told my friend's brother, who ended up crying since he thought he liked a real-life villain. When my friend told me about this, I was horrified and quickly told him it was just a joke, and then I went to his parents and explained. They eventually understood and laughed it off.

TL;DR: I showed a meme saying that minions were working for Hitler to a non-English speaking friend I had, which made his parents think that as well, and they almost changed the entire topic of my friend's brother's birthday party as a result.

Ok guys, I don't know if this is the place for this, but anyhow, there's a huge fluctuation (MORE THAN 200 MILLION) in the income regarding video sales of the despicable me franchise?

Is this a case of the third installment underperforming relative to the franchise and to kid movies? Were the first two simplyjuggernauts in terms of video sales? The only other things I can think of is:

1. The movie is being acquired through streaming or digital services
2. Since it had such a huge box office run, and it's still pretty fresh, there was no big demand for the movie on DVD or Bluray.

Batman is transplanted into the Despicable Me universe. He gets his Bat Cave, all the gadget goodies inside it, Wayne Manor, and Alfred, but no other sidekicks or helpers. Alfred is not allowed to leave the manor/cave. The AVL (and other authorities in the Despicable Me universe) won't help aside from jailing any villains that Batman can deliver to a police station.

He's up against four villains (I'm ignoring the Minions movie because there are just too many variables there). Each one is at his peak:

• Gru (with shrink ray as well as all his other stuff) (he hasn't been reformed and is still evil, but he must also protect the three girls)

• Vector (with shrink ray as well as all his other stuff)

• El Macho (with weaponized minions, but not yet having transformed himself)

• Balthazar Bratt (with his full-on gundam)

Round One: Neither Batman nor the villains know about each other to begin with. Batman finds out about their outrageous crimes and decides to bring the culprits to justice. Can he? (The villains win if at least one of them remains free indefinitely, still able to commit more crimes. Batman wins if he captures all four and delivers them to the police ... or otherwise prevents them from ever committing crimes again.)

Round Two: The villains know about Batman, and they know he's coming for them. Each one, individually, prepares to defend himself. (Same victory conditions.)

Bonus Round: After being captured and (of course) escaping from prison, these four villains make a pact with each other, vowing to work together to get revenge on Batman. They win if they either incapacitate him, OR manage to unmask his secret identity as Bruce Wayne. They've just escaped from prison, so they don't get any gadgets or help to begin with -- they have only the prison clothes on their backs, but they have as much prep time as they care to take. (Gru's minions are still out there somewhere, but if he wants to use them, he has to find them and gather them again.) They must avoid being captured by the Despicable-verse authorities while preparing to take on Batman. Batman doesn't know that they've escaped and isn't expecting them.

Here's the Movie Idea: Okay so you remember how in the minions movie it showed serving the most despicable people throughout history, but conveniently left out the period of 1930's-1950's? Well I've an idea for a cinematic masterpiece, during this period the minions are embroiled in a civil war over who to serve between Hitler, Stalin, and Mao. This is due to the fact the minions have different opinions on how to quantify evil and thus can't unanimously decide on who they should serve. The movie would include showing the different factions of minions committing the horrendous crimes of their respective dictators. With the Nazi minions operating the concentration camps along side German troops and supervising the forced labor factories. The soviet minions shooting political dissenters, running the gulags, and supervising the starvation of whole regions. The Maoist minions would be the ones enforcing the great leap forward, imposing collectivization on the peasants, and doing the legwork of the cultural revolution. And all the while fighting each other over who was serving the most evil person, with different factions using show trials, forced confessions, and executions to enforce their views upon the other minions. While the whole movie would be very very dark, it would also enhance the comedy of the other movies in the series showing how this civil war regressed minion society through the killing off the intellectual ones leading them to decide Gru was evil since they couldn't properly quantify evil anymore. This would ultimately give the minions in the other movies a redemption arc showing how their dark past has led them down a path that would bring them back to the light. Ultimately the main conflict in the movie revolves around how we as a society quantify evil, do we base it solely on how many people died, or do we base it off a combination of the human death toll and how morally contemptible the ideology that drove the actions were? This would force the viewers to step back and think deeply about how they as an individual define evil, since the movie wouldn't provide a direct answer by showing one faction win out over the others, but would instead show the result of the minion civil war, a broken and downtrodden species searching for meaning in a world that does all it can to stomp out the kinds of people they serve.

*Before reading I am completely serious about this movie idea, I don't know where else this kind of post belongs so I'm throwing it in here and hoping it doesn't get removed*
