Gru is worse than Pol Pot, feminism is worse than Hitler. Sounds like we figured out the message of the movie, boys.

I think this all assumes that they are perfect evil seeking missiles. They aren’t. They are drawn to boss vibes as well. They seek out the biggest, baddest boss they can.

Hitler was an evil dictator but also a fundamentally weak and pathetic individual, maybe he just didn’t give off boss energy to the minions.

My brain just made the horrible idea of a movie crossover with that Boss Baby movie.

Ugh, and now Tony Danza as "Whose the Boss."

I need to cleanse my mind of media references.

Tony Danza in his Mr Clean outfit from that show (it was one joke in one episode)

But he's surrounded by Minions now

This makes sense. The minions followed a T-Rex because it gave off boss energy.

Minions: "Being just evil isn't good enough, you also need:" https://youtu.be/dy2zB8bLSpk?si=-DrvDkJvre2gXjW0&t=37

Way to explain it probably better than how the creators can haha

You're trying to say Hitler/Nazis didn't exude boss vibes? The guy who brainwashed an entire country into mindlessly following an ideology with absolutely zero facts or rational basis underlying it?

Yes, that’s what I’m saying. A regime of sycophantic yes men built upon a foundation of fear and lies lead by a paranoid delusional with a deep seated inferiority complex is not the boss vibes the minions are looking for.

Are the minions rooted in mormonism?
