  It’s very impressive how Gru manages to remember all the minions’ names and which one is which. I wonder how does Gru know it all when there’s so many

  They may not be dumb, but it could be argued that they just have some poor impulse control. Plus, considering they're pretty much indestructible, it would make sense that they don't really have a lot of inhibitions regarding their own safety, hence their recklessness.

  I've never found the minions dumb. I just see them as silly at times, but they are extremely hard workers. And loyal too.

  This was an interesting theory. My only counter arguement is the minions seem to enjoy committing evil acts no matter what scene they are in. Maybe they do want to serve an evil boss, but not a malicious one. They&apos;re like smart, rebellious kids who want to cause some trouble, but not actually cause major harm.

  Uh, If my memory serves me right, in despicable me 3, they argued and left Gru coz he wasn&apos;t villainous anymore....BUT THERE COULD BE A REASON. Maybe now seeing he isn&apos;t bad anymore, they were planning to leave him to find another villain to &apos;serve&apos;. However, other than seeing their emotional connection, they might have realized how Gru and the anti-villains can help them control more villains, they returned. Also, I think they WANTED to go to jail, coz seeing their numbers and swiftness, they could&apos;ve overpower the police or escape. &nbsp;But where can you commonly find the biggest scums of the earth now??....EXACTLY

  My theory is that despite looking for evil people, the minions are instinctively good so when they make mistakes leading to the villains defeat it’s most likely intentional. It would explain why they stayed with gru aside from being kind

  I think the minion language is super interesting. As a native Italian speaker, I can pick out a lot of what they are saying, along with some French, and they aren&apos;t just saying random stuff. Also, fun fact, there&apos;s only one voice actor for all of the minions
