      My personal head Cannon is that Gru and Dr. Nefario managed to tame the Xenomorph to make the do their will. Xenomorph ressemble their hosts( like the Xenomorph who came out of the dog walks on all fours like a dog). Gru must have used a Banana as a way to make them more docile towards their master. That would explain their color and size

    Apparently a director of the movies said that Minions can't biologically reproduce, either by splitting apart like amoeba or sexually. I think this could explain the retcon about Minions being created by Gru. Instead of making them from scratch like it was implied in the first movie he simply started cloning them around the time he was an adult explaining the blueprints for a Minion in the background of the first Despicable Me movie.

    The lava thing is actually fixed by your video about Cru having 10k minions. Clearly lava is a valid threat for the OG 230, but Gru did some tinkering when he had their DNA to make the new ones impervious to those bombs. Also would explain how pins can puncture some but stronger weapons don't. There are differences between the OG 230 and the later 10k versions

    I would say isolating them from a villain too.

Plus, it even states that if they didn't have a villain they would PERISH. Perish is a key word because that means ☠

    according to the height of a
    Minion (which is 3.5 feet on average) Gru is 4
    minions tall, which means he is a godly size of
    14 feet tall. Second if any of you remember
    the original Despicable Me, you Know there is
    a scene when Vector kidnaps the three girls
    and shoots a series of heat-seeking misses at
    Gru, he then dodge them all. According to the
    speed of an average ballistic missile (1900
    mph) and the size of the missile according to
    his ankle size, Gru can perceive and move at
    such a speed that the missiles only move 9.5
    miles per hour, 0.5% of their original speed.
    Plus after this Gru punches a shark and it is
    paralyzed meaning its spine is probably
    shattered, to remind you it would require a
    force greater than 3,000 newtons to fracture
    the spine. That's equal to the impact created
    by a 500-pound car crashing into a wall at 30
    miles per hour.😵🥲

    another simpler way would just to prevent them from finding an evil master to serve or just isolate them forever, I mean, the Minions Movie literally says and I quote "They felt empty inside, without a master they have no purpose, if this continues any longer, the Minions would *Perish* ".

    Film Theory Idea: How did the animals in Zootopia evolve and thrive in the society they live in? Because carnivores, such as lions and tigers, must have to eat other things instead of meat and how would it effect them. Also at the beginning of the film it clearly shows there were natural ecosystems so how do the " districts" are so close and finally can climate change play a fact in their world and the demise of their society?Thought it would be an interesting topic.

    Hey MatPat, I have a very special request for a Film Theory. I feel like now is more appropriate than ever. In case you weren't aware, around this time 2 years ago, Denise Nickerson (Violet Beauregarde from Willy Wonka) sadly passed away after multiple health complications. In her honor, I would like to see you tackle the science of Wonka's Three course meal chewing gum, and I mean all aspects, including how it can change its flavor over time, how it can mimic the satisfaction of a three course dinner, leading up to, of course, what goes wrong that turns the victim into a blueberry. You can also maybe go into some nutritional facts like with the Marshmallow Man theory, or HOW the victim is supposed to be juiced, but let's not make it gross!
    With the 50th anniversary of the movie just passed, I believe this would be a perfect way to celebrate and pay tribute to such a beloved actress!

    Since they might have evolved separate to eukaryotes, they might not even have telomeres. Procaryotes like bacteria often have ring shaped DNA, thus they don't need telomeres. In the Intro of the Minions it isn't clearly shown if they have circular, chromosomal or some other kind of DNA, but it definitely is a possibility. A circular DNA would also explain why they don't age, and would make it easier for Gru to clone them and for El Macho to mutate them

    In the minions movie it is very much hinted in the opening credits that they’ll single cell organisms or at least something like that explaining the durability along with the fact that they split like cells to reproduce so I think that a virus that stop some fun reproducing and makes them less tough would work

    I disagree with Mat, Minions seem to have a track record of killing their employers with Gru being the only exemption, so they will start depopulating the pool of evil people once Gru is gone.

    As someone who had an awesome english teacher that also had us play trivia atleast 4 times, I unfortunately already knew that the end of the shoelace is called an aglet. My favorite that I already knew was that the national animal of Scotland is the unicorn (mostly bc I researched it for a website in web design in middle school)
