Canonically they were conveniently living in that ice cave during that time period.
But it’s now been established that there were other tribes of minions
I don’t really keep up with minion lore…
From what little I could understand in the movies I think the minions tend to have somewhat of an upper limit on evil? Like they’re fine with stealing and destroying property but seem genuinely scared when people are murdered, so I guess no they wouldn’t be Nazi. Not to mention how generally chaotic and hard to manage they are, not exactly dictatorship friendly
The Japanese were worse
So I remember this was already brought up and there was a Twitter post saying that the minions didn’t serve Hitler.
Then the implication was that meant Hitler wasn’t evil or something.
This is just what I saw, I hate Hitler, I hate Nazis and I have never watched a movie with these minions. My daughter is 1 so I’m sure I’ll see all the minion movies soon.
Correction: Apparently these minions were frozen during the 1930s and 1940s… Good save to a Twitter post that didn’t think of the implications
Why do you think Hitler killed himself? Imagine thousands of minions in the bunker with him all chanting ‘ba-na-nah’.
That explains why most boomers love minions memes.
That’s why Germany lost
Maybe there was a villain worse than Hitler is some way?
Mussolini started the fascist movement and was doing some serious aura farming ,as the kids would say. Going for rebuilding the Roman Empire would be a serious Minion bait.
Hitler passed him in evilness and had a penchant for ridiculous super weapons. Some of the cockups they had could have been Minion level.
Stalin was neck and neck with Hitler for evil, murder, and conquest. However, I think by the time they turn his way, the Minions would have looked at all the purges, holodomor, etc and just decided to take a personal vacation until the CIA showes up.
Isn’t there like a toungue in cheek comment about that in the movie?
The cop-out was that they happened to be frozen in a glacier during WW2.
Minions for Elsa (she was punishing them). Frozen takes place at the same time as WW2, but in a location not affected by WW2.
I didn’t realize WWII happened twenty years before the US Civil War! You learn something new every day.

Shortly before WW1 at best according to this link
It says that the first one is set in the 1840s and the second one three years later in the late 1860s…
If you’re implying that I can’t read and neither can the author of the article, then then then then
Nope, I’m just confused by the article
I think their outfits and tech fit a late 1800s world. No airplanes, but I bet they had zeppelins
★☆☆☆☆
Unoriginal AND proven false by the source material (they were conveniently stuck in an ice cave)
Too convenient if you ask me.
Almost as if someone with advanced knowledge of the universe arranged for that to happen.
Checkmate, Atheists!
Are you talking about Nazi occult shit because we may need a BPRD.
I was about to say this is established lore and one of the funniest retcons in media out there
I thought they actually addressed this in one of the first 2-3 movies. I could be wrong, I only watched them once and barely remember.
I think they were frozen in ice during that period
And now they work for Israel?
The US is pretty villainous and funding Israel; my money is on USA minions.
Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, and Jeff Bezos are all unapologetic James Bond villains.
In fact, they might be even more ridiculously evil than the Flemming and movie villains. Ernst Blofeld is arguably more reasonable. (Blofeld, on whom Felonious Gru was based.)
It’s made in Hollywood so probably? Lol
They were specifically locked in a cave in the 40’s so they couldn’t help our least favorite painter
It’s been established by the newest movie that there were other tribes of minions
Why would minions help Jackson Pollock
I absolutely believe they made that happen specifically in response to these kinds of memes.
They served Napoleon, then got chased into a cave where they served some Yeti’s for awhile until the 70’s when they accidentally killed the Yeti leader and were forced out. Then they found Gru as a child.
Ackchyually Kevin got tired of living in the caves and recruited Bob and Stuart to help him find a villain to serve under which turned out to be Scarlet Overkill. She was crazy and the minions then stumbled upon Gru near the end.
The yeti thing happened while the rest of the minions stayed behind in the caves.
…I watched both minions movies on a long plane flight recently. They were surprisingly decent!
Yeah but what were they doing during the 30’s?
First they came for the minions…
That’s true.
there are shit tons of videos what the minnions did in ww2 or their history in general tough it would be cool to see minions actually working for villains but its is a child movie and they cant merchandize adolf hitler or stalin
yet
sad face
Our concept of evil has changed overtime. In Dantes Inferno the people at the bottom of hell aren’t the people who killed the most, it’s the people who are most famous for betraying others. One of them is there because he stabbed the Hitler of his era in the back to protect democracy.
Dante’s Inferno is also effectively fanfiction of a socialite without any real ecclesiastical value. He wrote in the vernacular, instead of Latin, which was what made it accessible and popular.
And as a result made an absolute mess out of what Christians actually believe about death and the afterlife (and you, John Milton, don’t think I’ve forgotten about you)
All religion is fanfiction.
I had a friend in college who wrote a paper that religion was started by the original nerds who needed to classify and rank which level of angel and spirit.
I believe he argued the term “Angel of Death +2” is as equally valid as one name to the next across cultures and history.
I still think he was right.
demonology was 1000% constructed by autistic monks
