[@DuckyDoesSmth9517]

That's weirdly adorable though, I love that idea, though probably it didn't happen because the people behind Illumination didn't really think that far ahead? Just a guess that they didn't think it would be SUCH A BIG SUCCESS of a movie, they didn't want to plan in something so critical to Gru's character be a slowburn change, what if it didn't go well? And we didn't actually get that sequel? It could've worked great as a standalone movie, "villain becomes a more compassionate villain 'cause now he's a single father to 3 gorls and wants them happy" but they could've approached it badly idk?

Yeah, certain phases of the moon make it orbiting closer to earth, weakening gravity long enough for there to be a very optimal period for launches. Similar reason why most launches take place on the equator, it has weaker gravity and thus makes for an easier launch Also, JoJo reference

[@mattevans4377]

Despicable Me as a franchise was basically a warning to those that wanted a Megamind sequel. Just becuase the first one is good, doesn't mean it won't go downhill. Unfortunately for some, they only learned that lesson after the Megamind franchise had been ruined.....

[@AshleyBoon-u2e]

and yet Will Ferrell ( who plays Megamind) plays the villain in the 4th movie and it was very boring.

[@vaclavmacgregor2464]

I agree,It started with a pretty good movie.The First one was a solid launch and was a great start for illumination,sadly they Peaked with their first film.With actually well done emotional moment,a good plot and Minions only being SIDE characters who really dont take away from the main story.

[@hunterolaughlin]

The Minions actually had an integral part in the second film because the main villain was using them for his own nefarious plan, which was using the mutant serum on them to become his indestructible army and it was his attempt to get Gru to go back into villainy and join him. Everything else after the second film is when the Minions would be used for mainly filler.

[@lucasmatthiessen1570]

If the minions were treated like how they were in Despicable Me then people wouldn’t hate them as much. But if they want to focus on the minions more then they could if they don’t scream and be stupid all the time. As well as bond with Gru more often.

[@yourcollegedebt8384]

Even though the franchise doesn't compare to this first film, I personally think it would have been a lot better (or at least, more interesting) if Gru continued to be a villain even after adopting the girls. Of course, he should ultimately do good things by the end of each film (gotta have good morals for the kids), but otherwise it would have a ton of potential.

[@doloresgronenberg5882]

But he can't "have good morals for the kids" if he's a villain, no matter what kind of things he would do at the end of the films, it wouldn't erase or downplay the rest of things he would have done, that's one of the reasons why he changed, and that's also one reason why I think the change, both for the kids and himself, is a good one, what they would have to do would be something that would work with that premise and idea, but they could do it like with him being a villain and everything else, there are tons of films with heroes too

[@RaisinHook]

I'm going to say this.... but this franchise is OVERHATED. Is it good? No, but it is a fun little series

[@JackFoxtrotEDM]

This is why I hate people looking at new movies and going "it's just a kid's film". Just because it's targeted towards kids doesn't mean you should be sloppy because kids apparently don't know any better. And besides, the best part of growing up is watching a movie as a kid, really liking it, and then coming back to it later in life and finding out it's just as good as you remember it if not better! Recently I rewatched The Incredibles and Wall-E and I noticed so many things I didn't before as a kid, and that's what makes them so freakin' amazing today.

[@Digital_Wendigo756]

Me too. Like in Wall-E, during the 'rocket leaving earth scene' he gets his head stuck on Sputnick. Or how the people on the Axiom play tennis using a PONG screen. So many things that I missed as a kid, LOL. 🤣🤣🤣

[@elizathegamer413]

30:00 to some extent i kinda love the idea that gru gains these powers because he loves the girls so much now, just like how in real life parental instincts can cause people to do superhuman things like lift cars

[@ThePrincessCH]

If they end up making a series from this film, it would be pretty fun if it took place after the girls and before Lucy, where Gru does villainous things to make his daughters happy. The pilot could open with him going on a heist where he steels Christmas presents for them. I wouldn't mind if they retcon some stuff.

[@hunterolaughlin]

How about no to retconning?

The original is the best because it has more storyline with Gru and the girls while having the minions as actual minions. They don’t overdo the minions screen time which I absolutely respect. The later movies just have a lot more of the minions in it than the other characters.

[@hunterolaughlin]

The second film has some effort and heart too with amount of focus on Gru and his new life as a father and finding his soul mate to help with the gorls and the Minions actually are used cleverly in the plot with the main villain abducting them to inject a stolen serum into them that turns them into indestructible mutants and use them in his plan to wreck havoc on the world.

[@Moai1181]

[@hunterolaughlin]

Hey, they also tried with the second film as well. I’m not going to sit still and let Despicable Me 2 get the Illumination hate treatment, so I’m going to defend it till I die. The second film tried to continue Gru’s arc of being a family man in a natural direction by having him find his soul mate and the film did try to give the Minions some plot relevance with the main villain kidnapping them to use the mutant serum on them to create his own indestructible army.

Despicable Me 2 felt like a genuine continuation of the story that fleshed out what we already knew about the characters and wrapping it up nicely. 3 and 4 felt unnecessary, still fleshing out the world but more so adding filler than anything else and lacking soul.

The date of the launch being the same day as their recital is actually very important, because for actually lunar launches you need the Moon to be in the proper position or else you'll be launched way off course, or use up excess fuel when you dont need to.

Alternate title: Illumination's ONLY good film Before they realized how profitable it was to just make the most generic and inoffensive films purely to milk as much revenue as possible, they actually gave a shit with their first film. Gru actually had a proper and compelling story ark. He had to make hard decisions, he had to sacrifice things, and he had to learn from his mistakes. It was truly a really good starting point for a film studio. If they had just kept up that same mentality and actually attempted to improve their writing as they continued to release new films, we could've maybe had another beloved film studio that made films that speak to you on a deeper level. But what we got instead is a studio that just gave into temptation and deployed a golden parachute.

Dazz could you please review the movie Flow? It has no dialogue but the visuals are really good, and the creative way they narrated the story was great. It also had good reviews!

Not sure if this is saying much, but the second movie is the only Illumination movie so far that had 2 Oscar nominations! Other than that if you ask me, I personally like second movie the most as I feel it is the best one in the franchise 🙋🏻‍♂️
