The minions song renditions, the James Bond opener, the hilarious casting of the villains including JCVD playing a Frenchman with a lobster claw named Jean Clawed, and the dumb humor. It laid the foundation for why Gru would "turn good" later in his life much more seamlessly.ĭefinitely at its best when it's having fun. That paralleled how Gru charged in to Vector's lab to save the 3 kids, perhaps subconsciously because he was thinking "what would my favorite villain do if kid me was in trouble?". Or how Wild Knuckles risked his life trying to selflessly save Gru from the supervillains. In particular, how he became Wild Knuckles' emotional support, when he was all alone and demotivated. Rather, from a really early age he learned the importance of being part of a team and not alone.Īnd he learned the concept of "found family" early on in life too.
So for example, Gru wasn't just a narcissistic supervillain who randomly fell in love with 3 orphans.
But I thought this added some depth / believability to the first Despicable Me for example (which me and my daughter watched last weekend), and some of the choices Gru makes there. I do prefer the family cuteness of Gru and his kids in the Despicable Me series.
