#minions: the rise of gru

[starleska]

i watched Minions: The Rise of Gru for the first time today and as well as being thoroughly entertained, i couldn’t get the thought of Belle and Balthazar meeting out of my head. i think these two, and their 70s/80s-themed special interests, would be indestructible 🔥🔥🔥

MINIONS: THE RISE OF GRU (2022)

If your party doesn’t look like this, don’t even bother to invite me

[lemoocado]

went to see the minions movie yesterday!

[sp00kies]

I see you like the Minions franchise, who would win in a fight Scarlet Overkill or Belle Bottom?

the two top girlbosses ❤️💜

OUUUUGGHHHH THIS IS SO DIFFICULT

In all honesty, they’re BOTH badasses in their own ways and can fight well by themselves and in teams (Scarlet and Herbert and Belle Bottom with the Vicious Six).

But in a fight between each other, I think Scarlet would win. While Belle Bottom is strong and has her own way of fighting, Scarlet has been doing villainy much longer, along with her dress literally turning into a rocket several times.

And before anyone says that Belle Bottom has the advantage of winning with the Vicious Six, Scarlet literally fought an entire seminar of villains and WON.

So yeah, I’d say that Scarlet would win in the fight

In some ways, Gru in Minions: The Rise of Gru plays similar role as Margo, Edith and Agnes in the first Despicable Me movie.

At the beginning we are introduced to Wild Knuckles, an elder supervillain who got betrayed by his companions and now looks for the plan to take back the Zodiac Stone and reclaim his glory.

In Despicable Me Perkins makes a point of Gru being old and kind of washed-up in comparison to Vector; and this makes Gru even more determined to steal the moon and show his mother, Perkins and supervillain community as a whole that he still got it.

Since in Minions sequel Gru managed to steal the Zodiac Stone, Wild Knuckles kidnaps him to get the Stone. But unfortunately Gru doesn’t have it, so Knuckles keeps him as a hostage so the Minions will get him the Stone or else Gru will get hurt. At first Knuckles treats him rather poorly and even tortures him on Disco Inferno, and when his henchmen quit, he decides to use the boy as a free labour. It is only when the kid saves his life, that Knuckles starts to see him more like a student.

Now, let’s get back to Despicable Me - Gru decides to adopt the three girls, seeing how Vector is very fond of the cookies they sell. At first Margo, Edith and Agnes are just means to retrieve the miniaturization gun from Vector, and once they accomplish that, Gru plans to abandon them in the theme park. But then Gru gets forced to go along with the girls and later decides to detroy the shooting range stand because the guy running it is cheating. The girls’ reaction is admiration (and in Agnes case - gratitude, because Gru got her a stuffed unicorn she wanted to win). We later see Gru, Margo, Edith and Agnes coming back from theme park, laughing.

In both instances this is the moment when the bond between older supervillain and the child(ren) he’s took under his wing starts to grow and we are shown how it develops. But then something happens - Dr. Neferio sends the girls away because he thinks they distract Gru from moon stealing project, and Gru just lets it happen; while Wild Knuckles come back to his house destroyed by his former companions and tells Gru to just leave.

However, Margo, Edith and Agnes get kidnapped by Vector who will give them back to Gru in exchange for the moon. And so Gru immediately goes to the girls’ rescue and, with the help of minions and Dr. Neferio, saves them.

Meanwhile, in Rise of Gru, he himself gets caught by Vicious 5 and punished for his theft by having his limbs tied to the clock arms - he’s in danger and in need of rescue. And so Wild Knuckles comes to fight with Vicious 5 just to save the kid.

Bottom line:

Nothing can change supervillain’s life like a child.

I'll say goodbye to love No-one ever cared if I should live or die Time and time again the chance for love has passed me by And all I know of love is how to live without it I just can't seem to find it

So I've made my mind up I must live my life alone And though it's not the easy way, I guess I've always known I'd say goodbye to love

Minions: The Rise of Gru (2022) dir. Kyle Balda. 7.4/10

I would not recommend this movie to my friends. I would rewatch this movie.

Belle Bottom and that uncle reminding me of Super Fly. The rock reminding me of Everything Everywhere All At Once. Vague parts remind me of Kung Fu.

I like the James Bond opening. It was so cute when the minions tried sleeping in Gru's bed. It was also cute when the minions tried convincing Gru to hire them. I love how devoted the minions are to Gru. I love how Master Chow doesn't get frustrated with the minions.

It's crazy how aspirational Gru is, and I respect it.

Lmao at how young Gru is the same voice.

Bob is cool, and I like him.

I still don't know where the Minions come from and also they can procreate as a chicken..interesting.

I was lowkey thinking, are they going to make Gru a hero now that he captured all the villains?
