They were too busy helping the British systematically starve millions of Indians.
PS: There were no good guys in WW2.
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
They were specifically locked in a cave in the 40’s so they couldn’t help our least favorite painter
That’s true.
Why would minions help Jackson Pollock
I absolutely believe they made that happen specifically in response to these kinds of memes.
Yeah but what were they doing during the 30’s?
First they came for the minions…
They served Napoleon, then got chased into a cave where they served some Yeti’s for awhile until the payment 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!
It’s been established by the newest movie that there were other tribes of minions
Maybe they were in the Deep South around the 1800’s
Also helped pol pot. We’re 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
if minions were real who do you think they would follow today? Trump? Tim Apple? netanyahoo? Sam AltMan? Putin?
Bibi Buddies.
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
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
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
Why are you letting Stephen Miller off the hook?
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!
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.
That was a period of Great Minion Divide, where half of them supported Hitler and the other half Stalin. It worked out well until 1941 and then things got… complicated.
What about the Hirohito and Britains Colony Garrison Minion divide groups?
Only 731 of them served hirohito
Japanese are always ine step ahead
★☆☆☆☆
Unoriginal AND proven false by the source material (they were conveniently stuck in an ice cave)
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
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.
Or catholic priests…
The Church got away with a lot in WWII, the President of Slovakia was a priest and that country was the one that killed more jews proportionally.
Lets, not forget either that the biggest monstrosity of WWII was the religious cleansing, who had a beef with the Jews?
I rest my case.
Meanwhile the Nazi officials feared that Catholics may cause a civil war if they didn’t put just the right amount of pressure on the Vatican. And Protestants tried to become the official state church of Nazi Germany.
Lets, not forget either that the biggest monstrosity of WWII was the religious cleansing, who had a beef with the Jews?
I think you should take some history lessons. Being Jewish wasn’t a religious definition for the Nazis, we’re not talking about the Spanish Inquisition here. And it’s not like Catholics were more (or less) antisemitic than Protestants.
the religious cleaning from the comie was an horor for sure.
I don’t understand the whole hating the Jews thing.
Had they not killed Jesus, his story would be worthless. They made him a martyr. They’re responsible for making Christianity in the first place
Oh wait now I understand.
The Japanese were worse
So I remember this was already brought up and there was a Twitter post saying that the minions didn’t serve Hitler.
Then the implication was that meant Hitler wasn’t evil or something.
This is just what I saw, I hate Hitler, I hate Nazis and I have never watched a movie with these minions. My daughter is 1 so I’m sure I’ll see all the minion movies soon.
Correction: Apparently these minions were frozen during the 1930s and 1940s… Good save to a Twitter post that didn’t think of the implications
I think they’d have split into groups, some with the Nazis, some with the British empire, some with the Japanese Imperial army…
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.
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)
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
That explains why most boomers love minions memes.
They were obviously a few in the bunker with hitler, probably meant to hand him a banana but accidentally gave him his gun. Probably not worth mentioning in the movies
I’d rather the minions be responsible for killing Hitler than the asshole that got all the credit in the real world.
That’s why Germany lost
