They were specifically locked in a cave in the 40’s so they couldn’t help our least favorite painter
They served Napoleon, then got chased into a cave where they served some Yeti’s for awhile until the 70’s when they accidentally killed the Yeti leader and were forced out. Then they found Gru as a child.
Ackchyually Kevin got tired of living in the caves and recruited Bob and Stuart to help him find a villain to serve under which turned out to be Scarlet Overkill. She was crazy and the minions then stumbled upon Gru near the end.
The yeti thing happened while the rest of the minions stayed behind in the caves.
…I watched both minions movies on a long plane flight recently. They were surprisingly decent!
I absolutely believe they made that happen specifically in response to these kinds of memes.
Why would minions help Jackson Pollock
Yeah but what were they doing during the 30’s?
First they came for the minions…
That’s true.
It’s been established by the newest movie that there were other tribes of minions
★☆☆☆☆
Unoriginal AND proven false by the source material (they were conveniently stuck in an ice cave)
Too convenient if you ask me.
Almost as if someone with advanced knowledge of the universe arranged for that to happen.
Checkmate, Atheists!
Are you talking about Nazi occult shit because we may need a BPRD.
I was about to say this is established lore and one of the funniest retcons in media out there
Minions and monsters retcons that as it takes place in the 1920s
They fixed that theory by isolating them in Antarctica
I never noticed that, but it does fit and come as a relief.
You haven’t seen the latest movie. There are apparently many tribes of Minions, including some that were in America in the late 20s to early 30s.
That’s probably the case
Canonically they were conveniently living in that ice cave during that time period.
But it’s now been established that there were other tribes of minions
I don’t really keep up with minion lore…
And now they work for Israel?
The US is pretty villainous and funding Israel; my money is on USA minions.
Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, and Jeff Bezos are all unapologetic James Bond villains.
In fact, they might be even more ridiculously evil than the Flemming and movie villains. Ernst Blofeld is arguably more reasonable. (Blofeld, on whom Felonious Gru was based.)
It’s made in Hollywood so probably? Lol
Isn’t there like a toungue in cheek comment about that in the movie?
The cop-out was that they happened to be frozen in a glacier during WW2.
Minions for Elsa (she was punishing them). Frozen takes place at the same time as WW2, but in a location not affected by WW2.

Shortly before WW1 at best according to this link
It says that the first one is set in the 1840s and the second one three years later in the late 1860s…
If you’re implying that I can’t read and neither can the author of the article, then then then then
Nope, I’m just confused by the article
I think their outfits and tech fit a late 1800s world. No airplanes, but I bet they had zeppelins
I didn’t realize WWII happened twenty years before the US Civil War! You learn something new every day.
Maybe they were in the Deep South around the 1800’s
They were no doubt involved with banana republics. Can’t forget the Khmer rouge so so many evil things they did
…Pol Pot was the leader of the Khmer Rouge
Thank you for that correction, my mistake
For sure. They were part of Operation Paperclip and went to work for H. W. Bush who sent them to South America as CIA operatives after WW2. They became close friends with G. W. Bush during that time and followed him to the White House, which is how they met Dick Cheney.
Our concept of evil has changed overtime. In Dantes Inferno the people at the bottom of hell aren’t the people who killed the most, it’s the people who are most famous for betraying others. One of them is there because he stabbed the Hitler of his era in the back to protect democracy.
Dante’s Inferno is also effectively fanfiction of a socialite without any real ecclesiastical value. He wrote in the vernacular, instead of Latin, which was what made it accessible and popular.
All religion is fanfiction.
I had a friend in college who wrote a paper that religion was started by the original nerds who needed to classify and rank which level of angel and spirit.
I believe he argued the term “Angel of Death +2” is as equally valid as one name to the next across cultures and history.
I still think he was right.
demonology was 1000% constructed by autistic monks
And as a result made an absolute mess out of what Christians actually believe about death and the afterlife (and you, John Milton, don’t think I’ve forgotten about you)
if minions were real who do you think they would follow today? Trump? Tim Apple? netanyahoo? Sam AltMan? Putin?
edit: lesson learned, don’t try to spell politicians names while high
Peter Tiel I think. Trump and Altman are more like grifters. Net Yahoo and Putin are contenders, but they’re using mass murder to solidify their own power… It just feels too pedestrian
But Tiel is like a hardcore death cultist or something. He gives speeches warning about how AI will be the anti-Christ, then goes around putting up AI cameras everywhere. He’s the type that reads 1984 and pays people to build the torment Nexus
He’s probably the closest thing to a Bond style supervillain that exist, if alchemy were real he would be trying to create a global transmutation circle to sacrifice humanity and gain immortality
I decided not to use the word supervillain, but I was certainly thinking it loudly
Hold on, I need to check deflock and make sure the cameras don’t form an alchemy circle
Goddamn it I didn’t even then about that
I’m pretty confident Putin is the number one backer of
immortalityage reversal research globally.He does all sorts of things, as is tradition among Russian Tzar’s, to halt his aging. The joke is the anti aging gurus tend to die before turning 70 and it has scared every Russian leader in history when they’ve observed that
No no, he thinks anyone AGAINST AI is with the anti-christ. Particularly Greta Thunberg
That’s what he says in public, he’s said different things to a captive audience of billionaires apparently
I think he’s actually just pro antichrist and so tries to sell his positions as the opposite
Why are you letting Stephen Miller off the hook?
I’m not, Steven Miller is a creepy little piece of shit
But capability and reach are part of my moral framework. Miller is basically a coach for the brown shirts… He just yells at them to hurt more brown people faster. His words are vile, but they don’t change much
He lacks the influence to be in the running
He also says the antichrist will be a “self-described protector who promises peace, safety, and an end to technological risk” and sites Greta Thunberg.
They’d be buying Teslas and spy glasses.
In a list with Netanyahu and Putin, complaining about glasses is a bold choice.
Nazis? Hmmmm, I didn’t like their mining policy, very polluting!
Bibi Buddies.
They seem to be wowed more by flash than anything, and the villains don’t seem to be particularly competent or bright. That rules out Larry Ellison and AIPIC.
Various congressional Republicans, Elon Musk, or Javier Milei.
Why do you think Hitler killed himself? Imagine thousands of minions in the bunker with him all chanting ‘ba-na-nah’.
I thought they actually addressed this in one of the first 2-3 movies. I could be wrong, I only watched them once and barely remember.
I think they were frozen in ice during that period
They were too busy helping the British systematically starve millions of Indians.
PS: There were no good guys in WW2.
there are shit tons of videos what the minnions did in ww2 or their history in general tough it would be cool to see minions actually working for villains but its is a child movie and they cant merchandize adolf hitler or stalin
yet
sad face
I think they’d have split into groups, some with the Nazis, some with the British empire, some with the Japanese Imperial army…
That’s why Germany lost
