You ever think about how they made the minions immortal so that they wouldn’t have to explain how they reproduce
?? they made the minions immortal???
Yeah it’s like the same 200 minions forever
They also trapped them in the Arctic for a long time so they wouldn’t have to show them working for hitler because canonically they’re evil and serve the most evil master around and they’re clearly ok with serving dictators because they were depicted helping Napoleon so the solution to keep hitler out of the story was just to trap the yellow blobs on an iceberg.
So these things have been alive since the dinosaurs and are basically minor spirits or gods that exist to serve the side of evil and during that whole time they remained grossly incompetent.
Does the universe in despicable me want evil to fail or win? Or are these stupid yellow sexless idiots meant to keep a balance of some kind? Because they do not seem to have a niche in any ecosystem that I know of so their origin must be divine somehow.
since the minions are technically the last of their kind (since they seem to not be able to reproduce) does this mean that they are a protected species?
See, I don’t think that they’re a species. I think that they’re something else. Because everything else in that universe seems to follow ordinary rules of evolution but the same however many hundred minions keep changing their appearance and not dying. I think that the minions were intelligently designed.
Roman, my guy, are you really saying that minions are evidence of a god in despicable me lore?
Not god per se but… something.
Evil vs good. Evil made minions, good made them stupid yellow blobs
So are you positing that maybe they came to be because of some primordial yin/yang type battle between energies in the ocean or something?
But they have to reproduce somehow, there are way more minions in the Despicable Me movies than the Minions movie
there's a blueprint hanging on a wall in the first movie that shows Gru developed a way to create minions out of corn kernels
please i don’t want to learn these things
No one wants to talk about the fact that they worked with Napoleon means the minions canonically participated in the trans Atlantic slave trade
Finally a new observation that doesn’t have to do with corn
the inherent shame of beginning… dont look at me while i learn
“the inherent shame of beginning”
i admit, “don’t look at me while i learn” hits hard… but why is that so? when i was 7 years old i sang along to songs i had yet to fully learn by bumbling through sounds that half-resembled what i thought i heard, at full volume.
at 6, i would practice ballet moves–in which i had no instruction–outside the theater after a professional performance, in full view of the public.
at 5, i asked my teacher so many questions that she affectionately called me Bug–because i was always bugging her with my endless inquiry. i loved the nickname.
at 14, i was afraid to practice a song in my own room with no one home because, “what if my voice cracks? what if i can’t hit that note?”
at 15 i was afraid to dance in the garage with no one around because–i mean how embarrassing would it be to get the move wrong?
at 16, i forgo asking questions in class because god forbid i not understand.
what is this? “the shame of beginning”, we say. but not inherent, never was it inherent. the child loves to begin! they love making the silly mistake. the world tells us the mistake is fatal, or worse, shameful. what a tragedy. the world strangles our joy of beginning and when we’re old enough we add our own hands to the neck.
but the truth is we begin everyday and we are wrong and we’re dumb and we make silly mistakes and at the end of it all we are still the brilliant learners we’ve always been. there is no shame. it’s alright. i don’t know how to properly express that i wish upon everyone who’s reblogged this post to realize the shame is in our hands wrapped around the neck. we can let go. allow the self-kindess of your heart to soothe the bruises.
learning is no secret burden. we do it together :)
“We can’t believe it’s been nearly 10 years – and you’re right, it’s so unheard of, especially for a girl band, to last that long. I guess the key to that is always thinking of the bigger picture, being in it together, supporting each other, nobody trying to, like, outshine anybody else. We said from the beginning that we wanted to stay equal – and there have been times over the years when people on the team or whatever have maybe said something about someone in the band coming to the forefront, and we’ve always been very adamant that we never wanted that to be the case. The minute you do that is when a band starts to fall apart, so we’ve always stuck to our guns and what we believe in, and that is all of us being equal. And it’s worked for us!” 10 YEARS OF LITTLE MIX! (AUGUST 19, 2011 | AUGUST 19, 2021)
At the end of the meal, Higgins makes a brief speech, listing the players’ hometowns — the actual cities the actors are from. “I know you’d prefer to have been with them, but it was truly an honor to have you with us to share our traditions and help make a few new ones,” he tells them. “To the family we’re born with, and to the family we make along the way.” ❄ ☃
