This is funny cuz if the minions killed Hitler it really does feel like they’re solution would be to write a suicide note to cover it up

I mean when your options are Funny mustache man, Mister Community and Mao, highest kd ever, Zedong, Id also conveniently dodge the question lol
"Carl, listen, I know you like this minions thing, but we have to stop at Napoleon. Cause otherwise, in the 1930s, we might have to show some 'Controversial stuff' which some people might not like."
Whats funny to me is that the Minions should be very upset about this. Imagine missing out on the guy with the biggest infamy because you wanna play snowball fight for a while
Imagine how upset they would be when they found out about Stalin or Japan during WW2
NEVER ask the minions what they were doing between 1933-1945
I want to know what they did when they reemerged in the second half of the century. Wouldn't they have served Mao Zedong? Pol Pot? Idi Amin? Kim Il-Sung? Why do we gloss over the atrocities of communist regimes, as is ol' Adolf was the last evil dictator?

There’s a comment on the Microwave Society “Minions” video that’s an entire essay on why the Minions served in WWII. The thing is properly cited, too.
All fun and games till the minions come across a certain fella who didnt get into art school
And got into a small party

Who was then?
@@itsyaboi7680 king Leopold of Belgium is a good contender though there many others are up there.
@@vespid8960 Leopold was born in 1835
The minions simply serve the most despicable person they run into after their previous master dies and/or is defeated. Remember that they continued to follow Gru after his turn from villainy. They didn't serve Napoleon because he was the most despicable person of his time, he was simply the one that they ran into first.
@@vespid8960 The minions were still in the ice cave by the time Leopold ascended the throne

Like the official minion account used to said"nah we only served the bad guys"but i know if they will definitely follow pol pot tho
They would most likely follow the CIA or American troops in Nam
They missed their shot to serve the most villainous master yet
But it cant be denied, that they definitely would have served the Austrian man and would have enjoyed EVERYTHING.
Wouldn't they serve someone like Mao or Stalin? Both of them killed more people than Hitler so they're arguably more evil.
At least of few of them would have been an expeditionary troop in Japan.
They managed to do simmilar and Sometimes even worse things (Even even the Germans were sometimes shocked by what they did. We (in the West) dont talk about Japan as much because of two reasons:
1. Most people (Back then) didnt care about east Asia and what Japan did in Korea and China didnt Matter to them until Hawaii/Phillipines were attacked.
2.Japan was punished less than Germany, the Emperor got to keep His Titel and the scientist who Made inhumane Experiments were pardond by the US in Exchange for sharing their results)

Don’t forget Saddam either lmfao
the minions have answered if they served him and responded "we only serve villains silly"
Napoleon's troops chased them away when they accidentally fired a cannon at Napoleon. They stopped the pursuit when it got too cold.

I think it'd be a funny adult swim. Hitler just putting immortal beings at war.
It would
I have found a drawing on TikTok video on which the Minions worked together with the Axis Powers but instead of serving hitler they served the Japanese Emperor Hirohito and gave him the advise to attack Pearl Harbor(and you know what had happened afterwards).
I don’t know what happens afterwards can you explain

It's like that gambling meme, where a person stops right as he is about to get the biggest and juiciest prize. Minions just had to wait for 120 more years (nothing compared to the thousands of years they already lived) to find the villain of their dreams.
The minion lore I didn't know I needed today
When the world needed them the most . They vanished .

What’s funnier is that someone on Twitter asked the official Minions account if they served Hitler and they replied with “We only serve villains silly!”

The fact they had to explain where they were during WWII should have been an indicator they needed to think the movie over more
@LadyJuse 😂 right? Serving evil people is not cool when you think of the real world implications.
The Minions were found in the Ural mountains by the Soviets and then started working in the relocated tank factories, ect. (my head canon)

I thought I heard a South American accent. 😊
I don’t know if I’d consider Napoleon “despicable”
The minions seem to be willing to follow whoever kills/defeats their previous master, regardless of the relative level of despicability. Their master before napoleon was probably either defeated in some capacity by Napoleon or they simply ran into him during one of his military campaigns and figured that being engaged in killing/war was a good enough reason to follow him rather than keep searching.
well he took away woman rights and restored slavery
and he was antisemetic
later he overthrew the republic to name himself a dictator (Imperator technically is not a monarch)
and waged europe into the bloodiest war it has ever seen

@@linus6718What will they do? Surrender? France fell of hard after Napoleon. They peaked too early
".maybe it'll just go away if we pretend it never happened".
They would have probably served Mussolini from 1922 to 1939, then spread across Germany, Japan and Italy, maybe even spain (Francisco Franco), and then, after WW2, served Stalin
Minions be like "We serve villains, not monsters like you."
Yeah, I'm pretty sure that despite not being the smartest beings, I'm pretty sure that they have some kind of morality in them
That's so ass
@magnusarsmagna5896 nah they totally would've come up with something even worse.
Stalin:
They are monsters💀🧌🧌🧌
This could imply something way, way worse: that Illumination/the minions didn’t think hitler was evil 💀
or hitler wasn't in fact the worst? Look up stalin or the japanese warlords
Or that he was too evil
@@mk-ou5si Hitler was definetly the worst. Stalin is definetly nr.2 Though.
@@Blue_Fire-Chibi There's nothing as too evil.
@@mk-ou5si wdym? Hitler was by far the worst. What are you on. Hitler was a singular and chiefly evil person. And the runners up are probably Himmler and other top nazis that were below Hitler. Also, it’s not like the minions were with Stalin so maybe they didn’t think he was bad either.
I think the fact that they served Bonaparte kind of disproves the idea that they genuinely served the worst villains because Bonaparte isn’t what people would consider a villain, his plans were just very over the top and he had a big ego. If the minions were actually serving the most evil people, they'd probably have served people like Genghis Khan, Timur the Lame and various Chinese warlords, and in the 20th century they would have served the Bolsheviks and eventually Stalin rather than the Nazi Party (because the Nazi rise to power happened when Stalin was already established).
Idea for the next Days, macking some SS Minion Renders.
Showing them serving Bonaparte is ok, but them serving Hitler isn't.
I'd imagine it's because of the time, it's been over 200 years since Bonaparte died, but it's been less than a century since Hitler died, and there's still people alive who experienced the horrors of that war.
Wonder how long it'll be until Hitler is a distant enough figure to hlbe featured in a Children's movie.
Bonaparte's war killed at most 2 million.
Hitler:
-specifically gassed more than 2 million people
-DIRECTLY caused the deaths of 11 million (gassings, shootings, starvation, euthanasia)
-INDIRECTLY killed 80 million people (WW2)
If you think Napoleon is even REMOTELY close to Hitler, you're either stupid or misinformed.
Napoleon was a hero and not a villain
@@Pospolite-RuszenieDepends on the perspective you look from. From an enemies point of view he would’ve been a villain.
@@DarthVader_1977 So everyone past, present and future is a villain?
@@Pospolite-Ruszenie Yes, much like everyone is the hero of their own story. Everyone is the villain of at least one persons story.
My headcannon is that they were made in a lab to be the perfect indestructible minions
Very good subtle way of avoiding a colossal problem they were Disney they probably would’ve went head on and said we aren’t gonna have anything to do with it and made the biggest deal against it so thank you dream works for being subtle and just avoiding altogether
“Conveniently avoiding the notion that they were serving the Axis.” 💀🤣
That is a genius move I think.
Minions came out in 2015? I remember them playing that movie when I was in prep school
"Fools... we only serve villains!"
It still means that they were around during 9/11, and since they have been serving Gru since the end of the first movie, it means that either Gru did 9/11, or somehow did something even worse to be considered more evil.
Or 9/11 just didn't happen in the Despicable Me universe.
Finally someone knows the minion lore and dosent just think that there nazis
Nah this is minion propaganda
I always answered those WW2 theory with that explanation for the own movie, that after napoleon the minions decided to live on a cave and only left the cave at 1960s
Im sad that they didnt make the scene where they serve the austrian painter and the stalin 😂
Notice they never implied the minions DIDNT participate in the Native American genocide or the slave trade
That wouldn't be family friendly and would also cause the movie to bomb
I also noticed that. In those years they were probably divided in four different teams.
One was serving Spain, the second one Portugal, the third one France and the last one was with England
Yeah, it skipped from the dark ages to the Napoleonic Era. Definitely possible that they would have served those guys
They also served the Mongols... who also spread the Black Death when they besieged Caffa.
reminds me of that minions tweet ”is it true minions served hitler during ww2?” -”no we only serve the evil!”
Wait.... Does that mean..... He's not a villain, but a hero? 😮
I got a question right do you think the Minions would serve klansmen or are they not evil enough like of course they're bad people but they're not the most evil if that makes sense and if they did do you think the clansman would accept them or reject them because they're not the perfect white man and end up trying to kill the Minions?
@@geezy8689this comment is so serious that it’s fuckin funny 😂
What is your metric for measuring evil? If it's body count then it wasn't Hitler.
People thinking minions served the person in 1945
Minions: "We serve villians, Not monsters..."
“Minions would only serve villains therefore they wouldn’t serve Hitler”
"No silly, we only serve vilains !"
They were the good guys, from what Disney is telling
Technically if we go by the death toll, then they should help Lenin and Stalin and later join Mao.
I mean, there was also Stalin, Mousselini, etc. During that time, so if they could have gone that route. And they definitely have served plenty of people despite a worse person being there, so I doubt it's out of character.
It would probably have been fine to do if it weren't for the fact that survivors from that are still alive.
I love that this man is thinking like every man on earth😂
Minions: I promise it’s a real shower, I’ll step in with you!
my boy adolph lost a really good opportunity
I want to believe they served mussolini. It would fit perfectly.
They still left ‘01 as a possibility 💀
They were already serving Gru
Imagine if there were multiple groups of minions
Actually, now that I think about it that actually makes a lot more sense considering fiction cause every group of bad guys henchman minions multiple bad guys multiple subgroups of minions
They didn't serve him because he was a hero not a villian
They would have served Stalin, not hitler.
"No silly we only work for bad guys"
Imagine the German drip on the minions tho.
Cant imagine a pickelhaube on a minion
This canonically means gru is more evil than pol pot and mao zedong
Plot twist, the reason they didn’t serve hitler was because they thought he was not evil
It's a shame that Napoleon I is considered as evil
Didn't he kill more than 3000 people?
@@sonicfanboy3375 It's the coalitions that started the war, Napoleon just defended France from the attacks of the European monarchies

From adolf-Stalin-Hirohito-pol pot, you get the idea.
The fact that they imply napoleon was the worst person of his time and not the prussian king or the russian tsar tells you that one of the writers was british
And why Alexander I was bad? How I think, minions would serve the British crown, considering what they did in the colonies
@@darlockgasmask8768 the tsardom was way worse than the british, for example the UK has at that time already outlawed slavery while Russia still had it for the next century.

Napoleon wasn't evil though. No wonder they ran away into isolation after that
