Canonically they were conveniently living in that ice cave during that time period.

[-] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 3 points 5 days ago

But it's now been established that there were other tribes of minions

[-] Ramsesder13te@feddit.org 2 points 5 days ago

I don't really keep up with minion lore...

[-] finallymadeanaccount@lemmy.world 14 points 6 days ago

Why do you think Hitler killed himself? Imagine thousands of minions in the bunker with him all chanting 'ba-na-nah'.

[-] wador@lemmy.zip 19 points 6 days ago

Isn't there like a toungue in cheek comment about that in the movie?

[-] Shayeta@feddit.org 25 points 6 days ago

The cop-out was that they happened to be frozen in a glacier during WW2.

[-] Kolanaki@pawb.social 7 points 6 days ago

Minions for Elsa (she was punishing them). Frozen takes place at the same time as WW2, but in a location not affected by WW2.

It says that the first one is set in the 1840s and the second one three years later in the late 1860s...

[-] tetris11@feddit.uk 2 points 6 days ago

If you're implying that I can't read and neither can the author of the article, then then then then

[-] MrScottyTay@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 days ago

Nope, I'm just confused by the article

And now they work for Israel?

[-] Washedupcynic@lemmy.ca 6 points 6 days ago

The US is pretty villainous and funding Israel; my money is on USA minions.

[-] uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 6 days ago

Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, and Jeff Bezos are all unapologetic James Bond villains.

In fact, they might be even more ridiculously evil than the Flemming and movie villains. Ernst Blofeld is arguably more reasonable. (Blofeld, on whom Felonious Gru was based.)

[-] ryan213@lemmy.ca 4 points 6 days ago

It's made in Hollywood so probably? Lol

[-] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 12 points 6 days ago

I thought they actually addressed this in one of the first 2-3 movies. I could be wrong, I only watched them once and barely remember.

[-] Hawk@lemmy.dbzer0.com 18 points 6 days ago

I think they were frozen in ice during that period

[-] 456456@lemmy.ml 12 points 6 days ago

They were too busy helping the British systematically starve millions of Indians.

PS: There were no good guys in WW2.

[-] WanderWisley@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago

That explains why most boomers love minions memes.

[-] Deniz@lemmy.zip 9 points 6 days ago

there are shit tons of videos what the minnions did in ww2 or their history in general tough it would be cool to see minions actually working for villains but its is a child movie and they cant merchandize adolf hitler or stalin

That’s why Germany lost

[-] BigBoyShuanzee@aussie.zone 5 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

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

[-] TerraRoot@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 week ago

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

[-] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 6 points 6 days ago

I'd rather the minions be responsible for killing Hitler than the asshole that got all the credit in the real world.

[-] Zephyr@sh.itjust.works 4 points 6 days ago

Do people not know what a villain is?

[-] humorlessrepost@lemmy.world 14 points 6 days ago

Someone who lives in a village?

[-] TeddE@lemmy.world 9 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

You're thinking villager. A villain is a dried seed pod, used as a spice.

[-] tetris11@feddit.uk 9 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

You're thinking of Vanilla. A villain is a maned animal that lives inside an enclosed motortruck for transporting goods

[-] Uli@sopuli.xyz 4 points 6 days ago

No, you're thinking of a vanlion. Common mistake. A villain is actually a large, luxurious country house or estate.

[-] Burninator05@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

Wrong again. You're thinking about a villa. A villager is a sex toy, usually at least roughly penis shaped that pulsates rhythmically.

Your thinking of a vulva, a villager/villain is an instrument you strum lovingly to make it hum beautiful sounds.

[-] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 5 points 6 days ago

You're thinking of a violin. A villain is the person you buy chocolate and flowers for on February 14th.

[-] Iron_Lynx@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

You're thinking a valentine. A villain is a tiny encapsulation of DNA or RNA inside a protein, that will attach to certain cells or bacteria to use their systems to have themselves replicated.

[-] tetris11@feddit.uk 2 points 5 days ago

No you're thinking of a US Senator. A villain is a virus.

[-] Iron_Lynx@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

You... Might have mixed up a few things...

[-] Burninator05@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

Maybe there was a villain worse than Hitler is some way?

[-] cloudshouter@lemmy.zip 4 points 6 days ago

Mussolini started the fascist movement and was doing some serious aura farming ,as the kids would say. Going for rebuilding the Roman Empire would be a serious Minion bait.

Hitler passed him in evilness and had a penchant for ridiculous super weapons. Some of the cockups they had could have been Minion level.

Stalin was neck and neck with Hitler for evil, murder, and conquest. However, I think by the time they turn his way, the Minions would have looked at all the purges, holodomor, etc and just decided to take a personal vacation until the CIA showes up.
