    I think I'm genuinely pissed off that there have been 4 movies, and in those movies Gru and Lucy had 147 dates leading to a wedding, as well as making a new kid in the fourth film, and yet the 3 girls still haven’t aged at all.

      I agree that at least they could’ve aged the gorls up a little bit to make the passage of time feel more apparent and believable with Gru and Lucy having a child. They don’t need to age them instantly into teenagers, but they could definitely be a little older like Margo could be in her early teens, Edith could be a pre-teen and Agnes could be around the age when most kids start elementary school, definitely out of the toddler age she was in the previous 3 films.

    • @wintermoon7003
      @wintermoon7003 3 месяца назад +303

      Well, I mean, it's possible for all of this to occur in about a year's time to where height and appearance in general aren't very noticeable in that time frame. If they went on 1 date every day, that's 147 dates. And say they finally did the deed on their wedding night. She can have a baby without the gorls aging that much. So it can be realistic. Now, I don't know what they are proposing the time frame to be between the second and third movie and from third to the fourth. So depending on the time frame, I would say it's possible unless it's suppose to be a year or so after each movie. Then... yeah, they should definitely have aged a bit at least. Change their clothes is nothing else.

    Gru and Lucy's relationship is the best part of this movie. I always cheer when Lucy announces "I choose Gru!" on the plane, and when Agnes recites the poem at the end to her new stepmum.

    • @hunterolaughlin
      @hunterolaughlin 3 месяца назад +143

      Plus, it’s not just the standard main character getting a love interest sequel-cliche, it does make sense and feel like a natural progression for Gru’s arc from the first film when he’s fully accepted his new lifestyle of being a father. Plus, it makes sense considering a year has passed between the first and second film and after living with a single adopted parent for so long that the gorls would naturally miss having a mom. Especially Agnes considering her younger age compared to her older sisters and the indication that she was the closet to their biological mother and the film does a good job showing how she’s having the hardest time dealing with the absence of a mother figure.

      @hunterolaughlin 3 месяца назад +55

      @@dumbledoratheexplora1140 I think that’s kind of the point. One of Gru’s neighbors pressuring him into dating a woman is what makes him hesitant about pursuing a relationship, so when he finally finds genuine love for Lucy, it becomes a believable and an emotional moment because it’s the first time his love is natural and not coming from someone forcing him into a relationship. Heck, he even chooses to ask Lucy on a date on his own without any help or push from his daughters or Minions. It shows how love comes naturally from him developing feelings for a girl he already has gotten acquainted with and not from trying to hook him up with a random girl he obviously doesn’t share anything in common or want anything to do with them.

    I liked the "147 dates later" bit. Gru and Lucy didn't just suddenly marry in the span of weeks, they actually had a proper relationship before tying the knot. so many series have the main leads marry quickly, it's unrealistic.

    • @hunterolaughlin
      @hunterolaughlin 3 месяца назад +114

      I find it odd that the filmmakers cared about time in this film compared to the sequels, especially the upcoming 4th film where Gru and Lucy have a baby just out of nowhere with no build up or any proper passage of time to conceive a child. At least from what I can tell with the second film, it takes place a year after the first film, enough time for both Gru and the gorls to have gotten accustomed to their lives as a family and for Agnes to miss her biological mom.

      I think this "joke" is more about dads in marriage, not single dads(simply because those men, that don't really want to take responsibility for their child, wouldn't take this child after divorce). There are too many fathers, that don't do *anything*, and so those, who actually do something (even if it's just a bare minimum), become praised as if it's something special (meanwhile nobody praises moms, who do absolutely the same).
      So while there are actually great dads, that do a lot of work for their children, that they actually love, there are too many lazy irresponsible dads, and some people try to call them out for it.

    That minions giggling at Ramsbottoms' name shows just how much they are the weakest part as right after that we get the much funnier interaction of Gru calling him "Mr. Sheep's butt", which he corrects that it's Ramsbottom only for Gru to reply "Like that's any better!"
    You can definetely see the Minions and their antics becoming a lot more prominent in Despicable Me 2, but the Gru/Lucy relationship gives the film a heart that Despicable Me 3 lacks, which at that point really didn't know what to do with Gru now that he was happily married and not a villain. The less said about the Minions movie the better, although the followup Rise of Gru is a vast improvement thanks to Gru as a child villain.

    Honestly, I think the minions are the kids favorite characters is because they don’t understand the story that much. Maybe I was just an idiot child, but I couldn’t follow the story, it feels like it had a few complicated plot points. Similar to the incredibles, where there are themes and big chunks of the movie never got. The minions are a bright color, make unusual noises, and do “funny” skits that any kid can understand. As long as you can capture the kids full attention and understanding, even for a small bit, they won’t mind the rest of the movie. I mean most movies will keep a kid intrigued with the images and sound, but that won’t be the kids favorite because they can’t understand are relate.
    Anyway, that’s just my take. I’m not a child psychologist so this is all just what I’ve picked up from my own experiences and watch others.
