How to Write a BORING Villain - Despicable Me 4
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 июл 2024
- Despicable Me 4 seems to be a very divisive film to say the least disregarding this extremely weirdly positive review it has on Rotten Tomatoes, but there is one thing that I don't thin anyone can disagree on and that's on how Maxime Le Mal is the WORST Villain they could have made.

What did you think of Despicable Me 4?
It's a movie that leaves you with more questions than questions with satisfying answers. Why is the villain turning into a cockroach? What was the villain's backstory? Where's Dru? What was the point of all the tangential subplots that never left the characters they're featured in with lessons and added nothing to the main plot (which is also bad)? So on and so forth...
The animation is surprisingly pleasant to look at, I think that's where the budget went.
i thought it was nice to see something different after being forced to watch despicable me 3 and minions 2 alot i quite enjoyed it more than kung fu panda 4
It sucks honestly but was more entertaining than Kung Fu Panda 4

He literally had so much potential and they threw it to waste
All Despicable Me villains have goals. Scarlet wants the queen's crown, Vector wants the moon, El Macho wants to build an army of monster minions, Balthazar Bratt wants the diamond and the vicious six want the Zodiac stone. But what does Maxime want?
He just wants to get the baby that's it, Woah Such an interesting motive.
his only motivation is him wanting revenge on gru for stealing his act in the talent show 😭
@@nifftys That's pretty dumb. And this is the closest we'll get for a Gru VS Megamind, seeing as Will Ferrell voices Maxime Le Mal
Revenge.
Useful henchmen
I find it hard to believe that none of the previous villains have not escaped from prison
Probably because it looks like an enjoyable prison 😂
my dad thought another sequel would be them all breaking out because of how the minions broke a hole in the wall
@@cactusmangamingsame
I mean Vector’s on the moon isn’t he?
@@serbmgerb he got back to earth in the short film
They really named a character “Maxime The Bad” 😭 10/10 villain name. I’m shaking out of fear!
Oh, oh! oh shiver me timbers..... 🥶🥶🥶
Oh golly gee I’m shacking in my boots😱😱
Terrifying!
Im quaking and shaking😨😨😨
I'm quivering in my undergarments 😰 😰 😰
Honestly, I wouldn’t have minded seeing Scarlet overkill back as she was seen still alive in the minions movie and would have a grudge against both the minions for ending her reign as queen of England and Gru for stealing her stolen crown. She would’ve been a great villain for 4 and her potential for being comedically old and yet villainous can be funny.
Yeah her and the other villains were in prison and that was it, yet this cockroach guy can easily escape the hardest prison??
Scarlet Overkill was honestly a great villain for a kid’s movie. She’s extremely power hungry and violent when she doesn’t get her way, while demonstrating a sinister and masked sense of pleasantness. She posed a legit threat to the Minions in her movie.
Ngl I love the minions because of her being a great villain and a real threat to the world with England’s military and her tech made from her husband btw she could even mask the fact she wanted to rip the minions apart and was being sweet so she can be givin a crown
But Bob gave her the bears crown 🥺
@@aurorawizard7045 yeah but she’d still hate the rest of the minions and Gru regardless.
Prime example of why “show dont tell” is important.
Edit: This looses my heart but i wanna clarify that I haven’t seen the movie and kinda just commented this to comment. I understand that exposition can be conveyed through dialog, I didnt even finish the video before commenting I was just hungry for sweet likes 😋💰
This is EXACTLY what animation is for!
Yep. But what do you expect from the studio that markets the hell out of the minions.
@@normadgarmez7026I wasn’t expecting ANYTHING from them!
@@normadgarmez7026sadly dreamworks isnt doing much better with their megamind bootleg looking “sequel”
Literally a “tell dont show” movie
Here's what I would've done to at least make Maxime a bit more threatening without changing much:
- Have Maxime injure some of the AVL agents during the opening scene of the film
- During the Gas Station scene, have the employee Maxime turns into a cockroach go through some body horror (like El Macho drinking the PX-41 serum from Despicable Me 2)
- Make his cockroach minions actually look intimidating
- Cut out the whole ending scene with Everybody Wants To Rule The World so Maxime doesn't even slightly get some type of "redemption" because quite frankly, he doesn't deserve it
- Change Gru Jr. being turned into a cockroach be a way to sorta taunt Gru by making him see his son go down the path of a villain instead of Maxime "wanting a son"
And don't forget to use the Cockroach minion. The AVL have the Mega Minion and the rest of Gru's Minion while Maxime has an army of Cockroach while also a gun that could turn people into some zombie bug thing. I'm kinda hoping for the Final Fight was between them at Mayflower while also an intervention from the AVL agents
Tbh after watching the movie, I have a few more things to improve maxime:
-Let Gru fall off along with poppy onto the sea, so he can create a bigger mech that mega minions can help with him (instead of the mega minions rushing into him)
- Make the movie extended longer so we can see him free the villains from the despicable me franchise (kinda wish that they freaking age up the minions villains so that it makes sense they wouldn’t help him since they’re old and retired.)
-Make his cockroach minions do something, like helping him or something instead of here just for showing the audience that he’s a parallel of gru.
-Make him use the transformation gun on the minions of avl so it could be despicable me 2, and then they can help him hunt gru and make his final battle even more exciting.
- Instead of a montage of him flying to hunt gru down, make him be like a terrorist, like make him just destroy things, and besides he can just fly to the avl after getting the transformation gun, so gru will be on himself.
-Remove the talent show backstory, because it would be the chameleon v2
Rise of Gru did a better job with the whole "Hunt Gru down" plot, The Vicious Six actually looked for clues and were a lot more threatening considering that they would go to the extend to M*rder a child, Even if it would feel repetitive at least it would have made him intimidating.

I hated that in this movie, the plot goes so fast. Like the villain is in the prison and you blink and he is already out. And the mega minions retired and next time you see them they are back!
Despicable me 3 had a similar problem. That movie is 1 hour 10 minutes long, which is short for a movie. It feels too fast as well
Attention spans are too low for a long movie, especially a movie targeted towards children.

@@lylelylecrocodile2538 Actually my memory messed up a bit. 1H 36M actually, but it felt so fast either way.

@@vector0821 Despicable Me 1 was great. Super Mario Bros Movie was fun. We know they’re capable of entertaining an audience. There’s no excuse for their films to be so consistently boring. We just want _effort_ out of the studio that brought us _Despicable Me._ Is that really so much to ask?
I found poppy far more interesting than maxime tbh I thought the whole concept of gru kinda being a mentor for her was kinda cute maybe they could’ve done more of that in the movie but oh well
Or prehaps, instead of Poppy have one of his daughter want to go to villian school after hearing her dad's childhood stories. Enid would've been perfect for that.
She already likes violence.
And have a 2nd subplot for the sisters, with Agnes being the good little girl hero and dissaproving of Enids choice.
And Margo trying to make peace as the older sister.
What about Poppy? She blackmailed Gru even though Gru could of just called the Amc,they stole the Honeybager,Poopy helps Gru to get his son then she goes into the villan school even though Gru is supposed to be stopping villans. She just felt like a shoved in charater.
poopy 💀
@@cupidpopfr, i hated her so much
poopy
you couldnt have said it better. like i couldnt find the words but this is perfect
@@ianmurillo9993and don't even get me started on the whole speech impediment
I'd say Kung Fu Panda 4 was far better than despicable me 4. When I was in the theater the kids in the audience were glued to their seats during KFP4 but during DM4 multiple children dragged their parents out of the screening. I did not hear a single laugh during DM4 in an audience filled with kids.
Damn, even the kids don't want to watch.
Dam, i thought it was pretty good
@@koplogameYeah. This movie is only really bad if you look at it from a critical perspective in my opinion. But I consider this the second most entertaining of the franchise in terms of everything that happens throughout it.
Okay you can expand on this however you want but here's a rewrite for the character:
Cockroaches = Can't die, right?
Make him this guy who hunts down his targets and no matter what you do to stop him, like a cockroach, comes back without a single scratch and becomes stronger, faster, smarter. Learns from his targets.
But in the end like a cockroach, gets squished back down when he's at his weakest.
I'd like to add that most of the stuff that he did was left behind the scenes. How did he become the top villain? How did he create cockroach machine, and why is he the only one who didn't turn into an unconscious zombie? How did he escape from prison? How did he build everything while living in the sewers? How did he befriend cockroaches, and why do they have human-like cognitive abilities? All of that was left behind the scene
That's all a movie in itself
yeah, i really hated how everything felt so spontaneous. More context couldve made the villain more likable
They had will Ferrell!?!?!
Cockroaches having human intelligence is just typical cartoon logic.
My guess is that he's a "stinky poopoo Frenchman" so he's supposed to be evil and as disgusting as cockroaches. This would somehow make him immune to the cockroach machine and able to work with cockroaches.
I hated how the Mega Minions, which were literally the entire selling point of the show (Being featured in all the ads and trailers for the movie) really only get some irrelevant side plot in the movie, you could literally remove their scenes from the movie and it would still make sense, the ending where they squash Maxime wasn’t even needed since he was already defeated.
I was really hoping they would come out, save Gru last minute, and have a good battle with Maxime at least
I thought the mega minions would play a bigger part in the final battle
Same, tbh it would be better if they just let them fall onto the sea and then let maxime create a giant cockroach mech to take over the whole city and threaten the avl and gru.
@@boog1061 As yk they make a better addition to the Happy Meal than they do to the actual movie.
Y'know what they could have done?
Make it a double fight, with the Mega Minions going after the Cockroach mech while Gru deals with Maxime.
@@thinkingboi9508and also they should make it during the mech fight the mega minions gets transformed into cockroach minions as the fight progressed.
I totally agree. When the movie was over I was like “that’s it?” The fight scene felt a minute long and I thought makenne was going to come back to life
Can we talk about the fact that in every single one of these movies someone ALWAYS gets kidnapped??? 😭
It's so lazy and stupid
They had Will frickin' Ferrell and wasted him completely
Eh at least his song was basically a Drake diss. The movie is still trash even though I’ll never watch it.
It's still better than being in MegaCringe vs the Doo Doo syndicate.
@@crazieKstudiosit’s far from a trash movie

VECTORRRR…
VECTOR
they could’ve at least made him a mosquito, those things are actually evil
The old principal in the wheelchair could have been a funny villain. Just the concept alone and her presence on screen was hilarious.
WOW, thanks for all the likes
She's pretty much the inverse of Charles Xavier
It wasted sadly
Would've had her instead of Maxine.
The ending was leaked before the damn movie even released
The movie released back in June in some areas, so it makes sense ig.
I watched the movie and i had some plotholes or well, some things i didnt understand why that happened or just “why” on despicable me 4:
- Vector on Earth
- dr nefario coming back at the end on the movie (he was frozen on despicable me 3)
- The AVL had all the minions on their base and they didnt use it to protect gru family (the superhero minions were like filler on the movie for free jokes :v)
- I find it funny of how Maxim *only* focus on Gru JR on the movie. I mean, Gru has his 3 adopted daughters too. Even if they’re not blood related, Gru cares about them. Why Maxim didnt focus on all of them?
- Maxim have an HORDE of 🪳, probably much bigger army than the minions. He could use it against Gru, but……….it was only filler.
- On the start of the movie, Gru goes to the class reunion of *Villains* (which are literally alot of villains). After Gru arrest it Maxim, i find it funny the other villains didn’t care. It’s like “Oh ok, take care of that 🪳, we don’t care you are *A FREAKING GOVERNMENT AGENT* .”
- Why being a 🪳 is more important to win the best villain award than *STEALING THE FREAKING MOON* ?!
It’s probably not too much a stretch to assume the AVL just arrested Vector offscreen at some point. If Gru could go up to the moon with a handmade rocket with no proper funding, then surely the AVL could’ve gone up there to find Vector.
The last two could be explained by maxime being the principal's favorite student, so the contest was most likely rigged for him and the other guys knew but didn't dare to speak up about it, they then let gru arrest him since they all secretly found him annoying and didn't care as long as they were free to go
@@Scott...didn’t vector come back in that mini short
@@ARCLegends15no he ended up on Mars
as far as not going after the girls my only thought is "we al ready know that's a bad idea just literally watch what happened when vector tried that and did let them go gru went from getting put through slapstick comedy to being a walking embodiment of "why do I hear boss music" for vector granted I haven't seen the 4th movie and the franchise to me suffered alot of sequel-itis first was great second was good third was very meh and kind of bland.
as for the class reunion thing I mean gru despite his funding issues managed quite a bit and seemed like he could of been kind of a "he retired but he's still got it" kind of person in the villain circles at least in so far as they know not to get into a fight with him when he was a villain now he's an agent but he was only after 1 guy for reasons, tho in all fairness if someone with the reputation of say rattlesnake jake showed up and said he was only there for one person and he would leave... do you really want to start something over that? just be glad your not the name on the list
GRU dodges missiles, tanks like 60 different war weapons, defeats a mutant macho man, defeats a 70 metre tall mech (with help) AND GETS DEFEATED BY A FREAKING COCKROACH MAN, LIKE COME ON
He doesn't even get defeated by him, he literaly one punches him off a crane. XD
The movie felt too short for me. The fight scene was too early in the movie and it was slow and not that interesting. Maxime Le Mal would have probably been a descent villain but the fact that his literal story plot was a talent show? That’s just cheap and lazy.
It’s Illumination. Did you expect a deep and emotional backstory like Pixar?
@@wintigrc7961true but good movies are way more important than terrible ones. Even with a message. Saying “it’s illumination” is basic criticism. OH YOU THOUGHT THAT MOVIE FROM MARKETING ONLY WAS GONNA BE GOOD😂😂😂😂😂😂 ITS FROM BAD COMPANY. ITS BAAAAD
All the villains in despicable me have either no backstory or a really dumb one
It was still a fun movie though, I enjoyed it!
@@StickyBricksOfficialYeah me too! The movie is really fun and enjoyable, nobody is supposed to care about this stuff, just enjoy the movie or dont
What I would have done was have whatever that guy’s name is have been driven to villainy by having an awful relationship with his father, make Gru scared that Gru Jr. could fall down a similar path if he fails as a father, and have a happy ending with Lucy and the Girls reassure him that he’s a great father.
Someone needs to hire you to rewrite Despicable Me 4
That's a pretty cool story tbh. There was some guy saying he could've been Vector after returning from the Moon, which Is Also a pretty good story
I'm also confused by how people DON'T know who Gru is, i mean, he literally stole the moon. How do people not recognize him?

@@frog9311It really was ☠️
Despicable Me 5 should be like a Spider-Man No Way Home where Vector, El Macho, and all the other old villains team up to take down Gru 🔥 (maybe have Scarlet Overkill break out of prison too and have her fight the minions for a subplot lol)
I thought this exactly would be the 4th one before minions 2 released
Its insane, Vector and Gru tried to one up each other, El Macho was a huge power house, Scarlett was power hungry, Bratt felt like the whole world turned against him… but Maxime ? His act at a talent show got copied… Jesus… so many great villians… and we’re just left with him for the end :/
I think the 20 plots in this movie could have worked as like an 8 episode season on hbo or something. There were so many beats that went nowhere and were dropped that had potential.
The fact that the Despicable Me franchise was carried by its memorable villains (trust me, they’re the best parts of the movies) and knowing the latest one is forgettable means that this franchise is at the point of going downhill and losing lots of steam.
And that’s saying a lot knowing the franchise went from good to mediocre, but carried by the comedy and the boatloads of money, to seeing this. How did illumination botch their cash cow??
I think that they botched it by making way too many of them and it was never supposed to last this long
@@Enchanted___the moment they added a baby the alarm bells were ringing
You're telling me the best part of Despicable Me 3 was Baltazar Blatt?
Actually yeah that checks out, DM3 sucked and it's amazing they made a fourth...
Victor and El Macho are the GOAT, Scarlet Overkill was decent, and aldo, I didn't like Baltazar Blatt that much at least he was played well by one of the South Park guys which made him more enjoyable
They botched it by putting a bunch of random ideas for a failed Despicable Me sitcom into one movie.

I really think his whole motivation is also wrong. Instead of creating that stupid reason for him to hate Gru, they should've made him want to kidnap Gru Jr due to never being able to form a family (because of the cockroach transformation), which could have been a whole lesson about the consequences of achieving fame at any cost

I agree with that too

An American Tail: Fievel Goes West (either that or The Mystery of the Night Monster mainly because of the racist Asian stereotype which makes you think the franchise may have learned something from The Treasure of Manhattan Island with the Lenape Mice): Not your fault?! Who filled my head with memes?! (points to the original, TTOMI and FGW or TMOTNM) Who is making me wait over a quarter-century for the premiere (refers to the new AAT series where over a century passes and the child characters are now grown up)?!

“he wants to kidnap his son” his what
He had no real evil plan either than just to mess with Gru. He had so much at his disposal like his cockroach army and all his cool gadgets that they just forgot about.

They should’ve had all the past villains team up against Gru and the minions (kinda like how Regular Show did in Exit 9B) cause it would actually justify the need for the Mega Minions being relevant and they could’ve had an endgame like climax where all the minions fight the past villains and Gru faces off against Vector one last time also they really should’ve had the girls age and becoming more distant as most Kids do when they’re older from Gru and Lucy while they try to bond with them more as Parents do when their children seemingly become more distant, ALSO they should’ve replaced Poppy with Edith cause that roll fits her really well with the whole villainy stuff (minus the blackmailing part) while Lucy does some other wholesome stuff with Margot and Agnes
Was anyone else expecting a minions vs cockroaches scene? The cockroaches behave in the exact same way as the minions, but they barely do anything.
I was, also the scene of máxime on his lair reminded me of the first despicable me film when gru entered his lair and the minions where cheering
How to write a GOOD LAZY villain: Bill Sykes from Oliver and Company
I think this is evident that nobody and I do mean nobody will ever top Vector
Evil Bratt got pretty close though .
That's weird way of spelling "Scarlet Overkill"
El macho 🗿
Proof that these guys were way better villains
Can actually bame them lol
El Macho solos sorry not sorry
“Chameleon most evil thing is to push someone down the stairs” *chamelon: owns a temu factory and took over a city
The writers thought they really cooked when they made the villain had a cockroach army
I feel like Balthazar Bratt was a very generic villain too. Barely any memorable lines or scenes, all he was saying in his every scene was "I've been a bad boy" all over again
Agreed but also the only reason I’d take him over Maxime Le Mal is he actually uses what he has to him against Gru in unique ways but also he’s definitely not better than El Macho or Vector
At the very least Bratt had style and theatrics to measure up to the previous villains with his robots. All Max had was a bae with a bad case of Dream chin.
@@Enchanted___ I'd say Balthazar is a better villain than Vector. Balthazar's a villain because he resents how people just cast him aside when he got too old(something that happens to all child actors and can sort of lead to this resentful mindset), while Vector's a villain because... his dad is the head of the biggest villain bank out there? Vector doesn't really have a reason to be a villain, and if I'm honest he's probably suck as a villain anyways if his dad wasn't likely supplying him with all the money he needed for his weapon and such. Dude's just an entitled rich boy coasting on his dad's money. He even steals Gru's plan to shrink and take the moon, meaning he can barely even come up with good evil plans on his own.
Even if him and Gru became villains 'just because', at least Gru had a family lineage he was trying to live up to.
Counterpoint, he's voiced by Trey Parker. I rest my case.
Honestly, yeah. Balthazar's overrated, but at least he had SOME charm, something Maxime doesn't really have
We now know Despicable Me is not Despicable Me without Pierre Coffin
❤ 2:25 years
Mr. Robinson!
Theycould not have made it more bland lol
The final climax was so boring and he never uses his fucking bugs. Like if he uses that, it'll despicable me 4 Part 2
I think we can all unanimously agree that all the Despicable Me movies deteriorate in order:
Despicable Me - Unironically good *->* Despicable Me 2 - Unstructured but really silly and still decent *->* Despicable Me 3 - Even less structured, drags down in many areas, but _I guess_ it still can be fun *->* And then there's Despicable Me 4. *Yeah.*
"Chameleon pushing down bear a strairs" STHU
She literally disguised as Zhen and threw Po down the mountain
also trashed a goat village by herself in literally the first scene of the movie
4:39 "You gotta pull it out really quickly" i took it out of context you can't do anything about it
Ghostbusters missed a golden opportunity for the big evil ghost to come out of the shadows say one word. Boo. Than cut. It was a painfully mid film
Vector my beloved ❤ 5:29
Ohhh yeah
I think the video would have been better if you gave examples of WHY the previous villains succeeded where he failed
Vector isn’t only funnier but is a actual presence during the movie (the bank scene, trying to get into his base, him taking the ray from gru, the cookie bot/stealing back the ray, his scene on the bank talking with his dad and showing his success over gru is a lot more shady than what it seems at first sight, him trying to stop Gru’s rocket, him kidnapping the girls and the final battle) he has multiple scenes to make himself a character. Also he’s like a direct insult to Gru and how his character is just “the new generation” trying to kick out the previous one by force while showing no real talent whatsoever (depending only on gadgets) at the end gru retired but not because of the competition but because he found something better to do with his life
El Macho was a threat
He had the biggest plan in the franchise so far, conquering the world with a indestructible evil army, and while he’s by far the villain with the least motivations besides “because I’m evil” he’s by far the smartest and most dangerous villain, his intro scene makes you know he’s a big deal. But he also has a unique interaction with Gru, el Macho respects Gru unlike Baltazar, Vector and Maxine which all just mock him
El macho differences himself by not underestimating Gru, Máxine blends in because he just copy’s vector which Baltazar did better
Baltazar had style and genuinely impressive gadgets, Máxime is just a cockroach (he doesn’t even get creative like in PPG cockroach villain having a mech made of cockroaches) you could change his design for anything else and nothing would be lost (seriously if he didn’t take off his coat I wouldn’t have realized that was his motif, at least vector had a shark and several sea life themed weapons) and has a good motive (hating Hollywood for abandoning him because he hit puberty)
Meanwhile Maxine has a motive barely less stupid than the chameleon’s
Also he had a actual rivalry with Gru since he got them fired from his job so he kidnaps his family with a admittedly surprising plot twist scene and the duel is full circle, meanwhile Maxim loses at the start and the end, compared with El Macho’s mutated form he should have been a cake walk
Scarlet overkill has a actually great dynamic with her husband, meanwhile Maxine is decent but it feels like they could have taken her out of the movie and nothing would have changed. At least her husband was charismatic, supportive and a actually really nice guy (also reminded me of the Beatle’s) which is very unique for this franchise
And finally… she was cool, every despicable me had that element of cool under the silliness
Vector had the massive weaponry and shark
El macho had his entire intro, genuine style (look at him dancing ) and the purple minions are a genuinely very cool concept I prefer over yellow minions
Baltazar had a giant robot, made a ship fly with bubble gum, army of weird robot toys and he plays a Michael Jackson song on a heist. You can’t admit he isn’t a bit cool even if less than el Macho
Scarlet shows skill and still since the beginning, and then she puts on a rocket mass weapon of destruction dress which is very cool
Even the minion’s 2 villains had the transformations which weren’t that impressive but still better than Maxine (im refusing to properly say his name)
He just had a cockroach mech which was beaten far easier than Brats, was smaller than brats and all that
His plan to steal gru’s son is actually very cool and him trying to make Gru fall to his death is indeed suspenseful
But compared to Vector’s fight on the sky at the finale of the first movie with the looming threat of the moon
El macho’s massive army and Lucy being shot on a rocket filled with dynamite and a shake into the mouth of a active volcano while el macho fights with a giant monstrous form
Scarlet sending a army of threatening villains to hunt the minions then trying to nuke everyone in England
And even those of minions 2 had cool asthetic and the fake out death of Gru’s mentor, it had genuine tension
Meanwhile in 4 they just fight in top of a construction place
The only thing I give is how he has a good premise and his design reminds me of doofenshmirtz
Somehow made a more mediocre villain than the ones of minions 2
1:11 DM3 is arguably worse
agreed
"the worst thing the chameleon does it push someone down the stairs"
1:26 haven't watched it but just this scene alone I'm 99% sure this is objectively worse than that on a cosmic level
Unless he didn't steal Tai's chi or soul or abilities,
If he just copied them then fair enough but if it was anything else just common sense without context pretty much guarantees that it is worse.
Especially since the one evil thing Tai Lung did(burn down a village) was added as an afterthought because otherwise he was too sympathetic, because he's actually in the right other than that one thing
All things considered Tai litterally just deserves the power of the dragon warrior, he put in the work, Po stumbled through the work and was chosen by fate, anyone can do good and be a hero if it's litterally their destiny, Tai was thrown away by the universe while a Lazy Panda gets everything just because
0:29 TikTok ruined inside out 2
The award being meaningless is a joke about how awards are meaningless
I remember seeing this movie’s trailer, saw the villain design and just thought, nope, not going to see that. And honestly saved me some money.
They couldve brought back Scarlett overkill,being a psychopath in her 70s hunting down Grus family
Obviously most of the movie was mid, but the climax fight was entirely fixable and could have been enjoyable to watch. They just had gru and his child fight maxim whilst the super minions barely did any work.
What they could have done was have gru fight a losing battle against his son and maxim, then have the super minions come in to help fight maxim and then have gru deal with the baby, which would have been funny. The super minions could then have the upper hand until maxim sends out his cockroach army to overwhelm, prompting the rest of the minions to go out and help fight and watch an amazing climatic event with cockroaches vs minions, maxim vs super minions, and gru vs his son.
You know I genuinely liked this villain. Despite being a comedic villain, he genuinely was terrifying with the fact that he wanted to kidnap a baby and turn it into a cockroach hybrid slave.
The final part were the sing every body whants to rule the world makes up for the whole movie
I'm going to make any 5-year-old that says "skibidi toilet?!?!" To that song bite the curb
@@dylanojansen5612 Yeah. It was my favorite part. It kinda felt like a tribute to the whole franchise, as it basically brought back every antagonist from all the films.
Maxine Le Mal had a genuinely good character design and Will Ferrell did his best....just sucks that what he was given wasn't the best
yeah i mean there's a lot of great concepts that end up being horribly executed and being dumb, shallow or downright childish
0:19 god I love that movie so my much
despicable me 1: OH YEEAAH
despicable me 4: ohh noo
my guy made an interesting video without spoiling any of the movie, amazing
budgies are the greatest birds
4:05 GREYLOCK REFERENCE WOOOOOO
Hey enchanted, do you watch analog horrors? If so, what are some of your favorites, and if not, how did you find that home invasion clip...
0:39 that movie was good tho imo
And imo dm4 was the best dm movie
I completely agree, and love the editing you put into your video!
well done!
