Despicable Me 4 Makes NO SENSE At All...

[@abrahamproductions2951]

Imagine if the 4th movie was about el machos son getting revenge on gru, like time skip to when hes like 17 or 20. What was his life after El macho is sent to the AVL, maybe hes now an orphan if his dad was his only parent???? idk

The characters don’t age

They need to bring back characters, and not like they did in this movie :((

[@lazerfrogstudios]

This sounds like fanfic

[@dbartstopmotionstudios3404]

But they didn’t market this movie with the returning villains… They hid that whole scene from the trailers and the tv spots.

[@oneandonly8746]

it would be like Kung Fu panda 4

[@GrantKeegan]

Yeah, but it was a scene meant to keep people talking, even if it was a short cameo. Part of the No Way Home effect.

[@JunkieRemix]

I saw someone say that it feels like there was a Despicable Me show but then it was scrapped, stitched together and made into a movie which would explain the 7 different subplots

[@nobody5674]

You know that explanation does make a lot of sense, I think the most glaring example is when Margot got bullied and it was never brought up again.

[@JunkieRemix]

@@nobody5674 or even Edith and Agnes being in Karate class. This movie was all over the place and left so many questions unanswered. My main question was with Perry’s Daughter being in that Villain school, does he know about it? Is he ok with her wanting to be a villain?

[@migosp43]

The greatest thing about the movie in my opinion is that they didn't market the villains, they just put them as cameos and it was a nice surprise (unlike THAT other 4th movie)

[@GrantKeegan]

KFP's marketing was honestly so bizarre.

[@2006man]

You can easily believe that Vector somehow made it back from Mars, but what bothers me more are the Minion villains looking like they did not age a bit at all... They still look as young as the day we saw them, even though decades have passed already. If characters like Nefario and Gru's mom aged, how come those villains didn't?

[@xstatik8160]

If I had a nickel for everytime some random youtuber Ive never watched before said "if I had a nickel for everytime the fourth movie in a popular animated franchise released in 2024 and had multiple various similarities" before ending it off with the exact same scene from Phineas and Ferb, I'd have two nickels which isn't a lot but its weird that it happened twice right?

Comparing this movie to kung fu panda is absolutely criminal. At least kfp4 is mediocre. Probably a 6/10. My honest rating of despicable me 4 is 2/10. It's that bad.

When someone asks you whats the plot of Despicable Me 4:

[@omeganeoz]

Cars 4 is gonna be mcqueen teaching cruz even more and then they have to face off against chick hicks francesco and storm and cruz somehow wins the whole thing

[@JCC3wasTaken]

They should have shown how vector got from the moon to mars and to jail

[@GrantKeegan]

The magic of the writers' room. Still, it makes me sad because I remember the days of people comi g up for theories for Vector back in the day.

[@Zebra_fandomfella03]

Well despite all this, at the very least despicable me 4 and kung fu pamda 4 are better than Megamind vs the doom syndicate

[@claritycrystal8742]

Yeah, but they're both still very mid movies. DM4 should've been given room for something interesting instead of using the same formula, and KFP4 was the most biggest disappointment in it's own franchise.

[@GrantKeegan]

Megamind vs. the Doom Syndicate continued paving the path Ice Age: The Adventures of Buck Wild started. We'll be seeing more studios desecrate our favorite franchises.

[@GrantKeegan]

@@claritycrystal8742 I agree with you.

[@rustyshackleford234]

Honestly I think vector could’ve been a good villain for the 4th movie. Also more scenes with gru’s brother & Dr. Nefario.

[@oneandonly8746]

and more character development

[@GrantKeegan]

Vector is honestly my favorite character in the franchise.

[@nathanthompson6720]

That actually would've made more sense cause in despicable me 1 and 2 he was the one helping the villains

[@conntoons_4848]

I wasn’t really intending on seeing the fourth movie in theaters but seeing all the villains there at the end made me pretty happy. Never thought I’d miss El Macho and Scarlet

[@gomshom67iscool23]

they could definitely mkae scarlet overkill come back to take revenge on the minions (and possibly gru). maybe gru would have a sequence where he doesn't remember her clearly but slowly does when she describes how he defeated her

[@WhitePythor]

Back when Minions 2 came out I think there used to be a joke theory of Mr Perkins cloning multiple Vectors. Despite being decades younger than Gru, Vector was shown in that movie too. Perhaps the one in prison is also another clone and not the one from the first Despicable Me 🤔

[@MrStevethefox]

The fact that only Gru and Dr Nafario are the only two who aged after all these years make so little sense. So lazy smh.

[@lillordakira9752]

They could've had the girls get superpowers instead of the Minions, Again !

[@jimmybiscuit]

This movie was so boring and the story made no sense. The villain needed a better backstory. Orrr change it to El Machos son or Vectors Dad being the villain

[@Spacelegoman21]

And all the villains from the 70’s are the same age

[@MasonClarke-i5j]

I'm just glad that Vector didn't die in space. And knowing how advanced AVL is, they probably got a ship or whatever to get Vector and bring him to earth

Ok I’m kinda surprised that they showed the minions villains in the end ngl

[@GrantKeegan]

Same.

[@anthonynugget701]

It was cool though in my opinion.

[@swapzilla1012]

I felt it would have worked 10 times better as a series and without the mega minions. Have episodes be dedicated to certain subplots that tie up nicely in the end.

[@GrantKeegan]

With how terrible series adaptations from animated movies are these days, I think it would have been forgotten quickly. The movie format works better for Despicable Me IMO.

[@swapzilla1012]

@GrantKeegan But, (in my opinion) in a format like this, a series would work well. I’d also like to mention that the posters for Despicable me 4 (that don’t have the mega minions in them) are very good.

Vector was just Thier so he can dance with the other villains they don't wanna explain it the writers create all kind of plotholes in despicable me and the minions spinoffs like in minions 1 it showed the minions finding gru after he froze scarlet overkill but in minions 2 a flashback contradicts that by the minions wanted to join gru cause they saw he put a help wanted ad and thats how they found his house and how they met the despicable me movies have too many plotholes and inconsistency

[@GrantKeegan]

Totally agree. I'm a sucker for lore and consistency, so it annoyed me quite a bit.

[@nathanthompson6720]

@@GrantKeegan yes it seems like the writers for the despicable me movies didn't think things through when they made these movies another plothole in the part with the villains in despicable me 4 is they showed belle bottom but she looks the same as when she looked in minions 2 and they movie took place in the 1960s or 70s so she should look really old by that point especially considering gru aged but she didn't seem to age maybe the chinese new year zodiac stone she used in minions 2 kept her from aging but who knows the writers need to get better at not making plotholes for these movies

[@Some_Duck_Perhaps]

They could've just made Dru as the villain. It was literally set up in the 3rd movie with him taking all the minions and said something along the lines of "someone's gotta keep the family's tradition". Make the brothers go back and forth with Dru doing evil stuff and Gru stopping him while exploring more on the family dynamic. And maybe hinting to vector returning for revenge in the post credit scene or something.

[@IkDbrothers-lk1rd]

Exactly!!!!

[@clarpy]

exactly that would've made sense!!

[@a-ug9yk]

i think this is a "whatever" kind of movie. illumination stopped caring about quality storytelling after the first despicable me. this fourth one was solely made just to pay the bills because minions produce cash.

[@aurasellsflowers]

Pretty much half of the movie has minion gags even though this is Despicable Me and there's too many subplots so yeah i guess this sequel doesn't make any sense :/

[@Jamie_Winsh]

Still enjoyable but easily the weakest one and not well written at all. The villain was plain and forgettable. Most of the film was eye rolling 6 year old humour. The middle was filler plot that goes no where. The overall story wasn't that entertaining. But I found the mega minions pretty fun and cool and I did find the villains return together was awesome to see.
