Fun story : One time when I watched a Minions movie in a cinema as a child ( I forgot my age ) and the moment I stepped out of the cinema was the moment where I wanted to rob a store
I just want to pay respects to MatPat who can somehow manage 4 successful channels (Game Theory, Film Theory, GT Live, and Food Theory) and be a great dad seeing how happy Ollie seems. Good Job MatPat
I mean, still, the fact is that the Minions are underratedly _terrifying; _ as MatPat pointed out, just _three_ out of 230 basically took over one of the most powerful nations on Earth, and a single rabid Minion could effortlessly tear through layers and layers of Gru's best security technology (the same technology that spawned thousands of those immortal Minion clones to begin with), El Macho genuinely could've ended the world if he had actually managed to sic those thousands of Purple Minions onto the world's cities and governments.
My film theory is that minions are the world's natural defense against evil however unwittingly. They’re naturally drawn to “evil” things and want to help them, but inevitably their help accidentally causes failure. Gru not being much a villain is what causes them to thrive with him.
@The Film Theorists I'm just posting this here so that maybe people will notice cause this is like the third comment here @7:16 you are kind of wrong there. In the first movie when Kevin bob and Stuart were travelling in the boat to New York, (The part where Stuart imagined Kevin and bob as bananas and tried eating them), Stuarts(Or another minions I kind of forgot sorry) stomach rumbled. And clearly bob pointed to his mouth in a way of asking food. So we can say that the minions do need food. Why did the "space minion" survive weeks without food and start Kevin and bob started hallucinating after a few day? - Well that is possibly just a mistake in the movie. OR I have another theory- The minions which you told were cloned CAN survive harsh conditions with no food but the original minions like Kevin bob and Stuart clearly cant. I dont mean to prove you wrong or any thing cause i really do like your content I'm just pointing out don't take me wrong😄 BUT HEYYY THATSS JUST A THEORYYY, A FILMMM THEORYY This has a slim chance of you actually seeing this in the midst of the other ten thousand comments here but in case you do get it - Your theorist minion has risen (If this is correct that is. ᴼʳ ᴵˡˡ ʲᵘˢᵗ ᵇᵉ ʰᵘᵐᶦˡᶦᵃᵗᵉᵈ...)

The minions are a hit or miss though. Gru used them as henchmen successfully, but every one of their leaders in the past, the french, dracula, dinosaurs, etc faced their doom because the minions are clumsy and mess up. That kind of balances them out.
A record like that is not hit or miss. Almost everyone that the Minions have worked for has died horribly and their evil legacy was usually so thoroughly snuffed out that many of their former masters are thought to only be legends. The Minions seem to be evolution's way of fighting evil like a retrovirus. The only reason that Gru (It's always hilarious that no one gets the joke behind his name) is not feeding worms right now stems from him not actually being evil. Gru does lots of despicable things, but he's mostly just a really smart guy who has grown too frustrated with society to 'people' today. Admittedly he does a lot of things that have a fantastic potential for being incredibly bad, but nothing ever comes of it. Arguably the most notably terrible things he does are turning humans into Minions and trying to use kids to advance an evil agenda. The latter turns out to be a catalyst that eventually transformers him into a hero.

I like to think that Gru did create Minions, he just didn't make them out of nothing, he cloned them from the ones he already had. This would explain how their numbers grow from 230 to thousands, and why Gru has blueprints for Minions in the background of the first movie.
@@pokimanz they only look for the most villanous villians according to the movies so idk they probably would've looked for someone else lmao and yes i actually watched and enjoyed the movie
@@plantinapot9169 the minions have existed since the dinosaur age, and have served every evil thing from vampires to scientists. Its highly likely that the minions have served the pillar men before
What's neat is that in the third movie we see exactly what MatPat is talking about at the end of the video. The minions, despite still having strong attachments to Gru, can't resist running away with his brother Drew to go cause havoc. Luckily it does seem like some of the minions formed meaningful relationships besides just having an evil master. Dave and Jerry for instance stayed with Gru throughout the film when the other minions all quit to find new jobs. It shows that the minions don't neccessesarily have to serve an evil master but under the right conditions can learn to follow whoever they want. They'll still have that primal urge to cause mischief, but as with humans they may be starting to learn how to control those urges to a degree and find happiness in other parts of life.
Y'all, I don't care how out of nowhere this episode seems; the fact that Dadpat calls Oliver "bean" as a nickname is enough of a serotonin boost to last me throughout the next month 🥺💕
If you've seen the credits of the new Minions movie this theory is confirmed. It shows a machine making more minions and the G on they're overalls being stamped on them.
in "The Secret Life of Pets", there aren't any talking animals. The movie is about seeing what they see, we're looking from their perspective. They're still just barking and meowing (and whatever sound a rabbit makes), it's just being translated to "Human".
so they talk. By your admission. Talking does not always mean human speech, que sign language. As long as information is passed and comprehended by sender and reciever it is talking.
to be fair, when I had first watched the original movie when it came out, it sort of felt implied that they were all genetically made by Gru. That blue-print you see in the first movie, sort of confirms that for me. I think it is as always just a continuity error they made, when making a prequel. They had to change the original idea to provide a more interesting story.
@@TheUnderscore_ I read a magazine when the first movie came out and it described minions as Gru’s creation from corn kernels, so I think it’s just a retcon that worked out
Before The Minions movie came out I always thought that Dr. Nfario made them, because in the first movie when one of the girls asks Gru what are they he looks at Nefario before reaponding they are his cousins. My theory is Gru discovers the minions and joins forces with Nefario who begins to clone them in order to form the army needed to commit his crimes(even though for his moon heist, Gru is the only one who even goes to space and the minions are just the labor force that made the rocket). Film theory said basicaly the same thing as what I said adding that thats the reason Gru treats a few minions better than the others
It was for a toy for the gorls you see it in number 2 Wow you guys see minions being sus but you don't pay attention to everything else in the movies just wow
The best part of ALL the movies was Gru kissing the Minions at the end of the first movie. When the one Minion comes around for a second kiss, Gru catches him at it and passes him along, he just laughs and runs along. For some reason, I adore this scene. Nothing but sweetness!
Maybe gru used the tattoo on the back of hitman's head but can only be noticed by scanning them or using UV flashlights maybe that is how he memorized the original from the fake
technically it was already canon, a bonus short episode type thing on the DVD release of the first despicable me movie had a training video for minions where its explained to them they are bioengineered creatures made from an altered strain of Gru's own DNA(i think it was gru's but don't quote me on that). So really Matt Patt probably just watched the short and used it for a theory video
Honestly I thought from the start of this video that the minions were somehow transformed children. That explains their language (or lack thereof), their sense of humor, their height, and their curiosity of literally everything around them.
Too bad that Matt Pat proved that theory wrong by showing that they're actually are just clones of minions and therefore minions. Followed up by the fact that they aren't minions for... reasons.... what?
I actually want him to do a theory on how they acquired it. Did they steal it? Did they have summer jobs? Did they use their parent's money? Because if they stole their parent's money the parents would surely notice since they're middle class and aren't exuberantly rich..right? Very interesting.
imagine before Gru dies he makes a robot minion and tells him to turn him into a minion but turn on the smart option so that he can lead his people even after his human form is lost and not become a minion himself
It feels weird to think that I've been watching Film Theory long enough to watch MatPat become a dad... but omg his voice when he talked to Ollie is the most wholesome thing
My favorite part of the Minions movie was how they conveniently got frozen in ice for the first half of the 1900s, as if they filmmakers didn't want them to be serving a particularly despicable master lmao
it’s scary to think about but gru could EASILY take over the world if he just unleashed the army of 10400 minions onto the world, they probably wouldn’t even need weapons too
I forget which GT Live video it was, but Matt explained it. They would play something called the Bean Game where they name the beans, and it ends with the "Ollie Bean"
@@auhsojacosta1672 That's because Dr. Nefario kidnapped them, he knew them and so would know their weakness and also he kept them in paradise until mutating them.
I didn't even know it needed to be Film-Theoried, since the movies made it clear that Gru made the Minions. Once you learn that there was an original, smaller group, cloning is the obvious answer.
The best joke in the first "Despicable Me" was meant for folks in finance. It was the sign above the door to the bank that read "Bank of Evil" and right below "formerly Lehman Brothers". I was the only person in the theater laughing.
@@TheHamza5788 that's such a weird response considering you could be bothered to say you Googled it and found an answer but can't actually answer the question. Get bent.
@@iamV10010 "The sign beneath the name, styled "Formerly Lehman Brothers", is a reference to the Financial Crisis of 2008. The already fragile international economy dipped significantly during this time when the banking giant, Lehman Brothers, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, an event widely accepted as a major contributing factor to the global financial crisis. In the Mandarin version of the film in Taiwan, the sign is translated as "枉又憎集團", literally meaning "the corporation of wrongfulness and hatred". It is the reference of a late entrepreneur Wang You-theng (王又曾), who was accused of embezzlement and fraud and fled to the United States until his death." I guess it's the Bank of Evil because the Lehman Brothers caused the Financial Crisis of 2008?
You gotta appreciate the fact the film writers made sure the original Minions were in isolation during the early-to-mid 1900's, just to avoid them meeting with a certain "You-Know-Who".
fun fact: all of Gru's 10,400 minions have a unique design; props to the animation team also, one of the cutest part of the franchise was when Bob the Minon became the king of England
My theory is that the minions are actually destroyers of evil, mostly because every evil master they've served has died (usually as a direct result of their actions) until they serve Gru. This is probably because he is actually a good guy, who just attracted the minions because he acts evil a lot.
I think this makes sense! They also really don't act evil in the Despicable Me movies, and you'd think when Gru became good they would have left him if they actually had evil intentions
Only MatPat takes a simple punchline in a kids movie like a Minion stuck in the orbit for a week and analizes it to make an entire theory that Minions are replica robots, gotta applause your dedication, buddy 👏
Ever since I first saw Despicable Me, I’ve just accepted that the Minions are just some bunch of weird Mutant Anthropomorphic Bananas which like eating Bananas, and my life went just Fine

"Though He wished for death, He was unable to die. So eventually, That One Minion stuck in space stopped thinking"
@LuisRicoMambo i would love a despicable me/jjba crossover, presumably the minion brought Kars into earth
Actually, given they were in the same universe, the minions serving the pillar men is pretty likely if you think about it
@@UsefulCompanion ...? How?
Eventually, Kars stopped thinking.
@@plantinapot9169 the minions have existed since the dinosaur age, and have served every evil thing from vampires to scientists. Its highly likely that the minions have served the pillar men before
Rise of gru actually proved this theory, because it takes place in the pre-Nefario period and it indeed does have only the original minions.
if only if he made this 2 years later
What's neat is that in the third movie we see exactly what MatPat is talking about at the end of the video. The minions, despite still having strong attachments to Gru, can't resist running away with his brother Drew to go cause havoc. Luckily it does seem like some of the minions formed meaningful relationships besides just having an evil master. Dave and Jerry for instance stayed with Gru throughout the film when the other minions all quit to find new jobs. It shows that the minions don't neccessesarily have to serve an evil master but under the right conditions can learn to follow whoever they want. They'll still have that primal urge to cause mischief, but as with humans they may be starting to learn how to control those urges to a degree and find happiness in other parts of life.

Kevin, Stuart and Bob probably would've stayed with Gru too if they were in the movie.
Alternate theory: MatPat's son is a minion and he seeked out the minions in search for what he once was, and what he lost
This deserves so much more likes

If you've seen the credits of the new Minions movie this theory is confirmed. It shows a machine making more minions and the G on they're overalls being stamped on them.
in "The Secret Life of Pets", there aren't any talking animals. The movie is about seeing what they see, we're looking from their perspective.
They're still just barking and meowing (and whatever sound a rabbit makes), it's just being translated to "Human".
Rabbits squeak
@@robinasebastian1873 bun buns honk n stuff.
Very weird how every animated movie makes animals talk between different species.
AnimalCommon
Fair enough, but they are intelligent enough to drive cars and have complex relationships. So that's something? I dunno this whole universe is a mess.
just a real quick thing: in the secret life of pets, the animals don't talk, its just a translation for the humans
so they talk.
By your admission.
Talking does not always mean human speech, que sign language.
As long as information is passed and comprehended by sender and reciever it is talking.
@@HidekiShinichi they talk to each other but they can’t be understood by humans. That’s what I think they meant. Idk, I haven’t seen it.
Yeah but for some reason in the sequel they were able to communicate with the son Liam for some reason
@Opecuted 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@Opecuted Weebs entering japan be like:
to be fair, when I had first watched the original movie when it came out, it sort of felt implied that they were all genetically made by Gru. That blue-print you see in the first movie, sort of confirms that for me. I think it is as always just a continuity error they made, when making a prequel. They had to change the original idea to provide a more interesting story.
Ye I always just assumed he made them.
@@TheUnderscore_ I read a magazine when the first movie came out and it described minions as Gru’s creation from corn kernels, so I think it’s just a retcon that worked out
Before The Minions movie came out I always thought that Dr. Nfario made them, because in the first movie when one of the girls asks Gru what are they he looks at Nefario before reaponding they are his cousins. My theory is Gru discovers the minions and joins forces with Nefario who begins to clone them in order to form the army needed to commit his crimes(even though for his moon heist, Gru is the only one who even goes to space and the minions are just the labor force that made the rocket). Film theory said basicaly the same thing as what I said adding that thats the reason Gru treats a few minions better than the others
It was for a toy for the gorls you see it in number 2
Wow you guys see minions being sus but you don't pay attention to everything else in the movies just wow
But then how do you explain the minions movie?
Your son hugging all the minions is so cute. You’re a great father to get him one
The best part of ALL the movies was Gru kissing the Minions at the end of the first movie. When the one Minion comes around for a second kiss, Gru catches him at it and passes him along, he just laughs and runs along. For some reason, I adore this scene. Nothing but sweetness!

Facebook right?
Maybe gru used the tattoo on the back of hitman's head but can only be noticed by scanning them or using UV flashlights maybe that is how he memorized the original from the fake
I like this theory, it doesn't ruin the character/movies, it actually goes really well with them
It could be totally canon
ua-cam.com/video/JmQJ-xRNPvY/v-deo.html.
For once matpat didnt ruin a franchise
technically it was already canon, a bonus short episode type thing on the DVD release of the first despicable me movie had a training video for minions where its explained to them they are bioengineered creatures made from an altered strain of Gru's own DNA(i think it was gru's but don't quote me on that).
So really Matt Patt probably just watched the short and used it for a theory video

...Just the thought of Matt calling his son "Bean" puts a smile on my face...
Honestly I thought from the start of this video that the minions were somehow transformed children. That explains their language (or lack thereof), their sense of humor, their height, and their curiosity of literally everything around them.
This could be another theory
@@jacksepticeye_fan084 yeah
The Universal ride kinda helps this since we see kids become minions in the pre-show
Too bad that Matt Pat proved that theory wrong by showing that they're actually are just clones of minions and therefore minions. Followed up by the fact that they aren't minions for... reasons.... what?
@@JustaSimplefact he said he thought
Do a theory on how much money Phineas and Ferb spent throughout the summer.
YES!!
I actually want him to do a theory on how they acquired it. Did they steal it? Did they have summer jobs? Did they use their parent's money? Because if they stole their parent's money the parents would surely notice since they're middle class and aren't exuberantly rich..right? Very interesting.
Are you sure that's possible?
Yes, Yes I am
@@moontivity9997 it's pretty much canon for the fandom that their money comes from the sales of the perry the platypus action figure
@@moontivity9997 plot twist: Perry pays for it.
I mean it's cannon he gets money and he cares a lot about the boys so he might be who pays for it
imagine before Gru dies he makes a robot minion and tells him to turn him into a minion but turn on the smart option so that he can lead his people even after his human form is lost and not become a minion himself

That's because Dr. Nefario kidnapped them, he knew them and so would know their weakness and also he kept them in paradise until mutating them.

The best joke in the first "Despicable Me" was meant for folks in finance. It was the sign above the door to the bank that read "Bank of Evil" and right below "formerly Lehman Brothers". I was the only person in the theater laughing.
Care to explain that joke to a non financial person?
@@iamV10010 I googled it, it has a Wikipedia article go read that, I can't be bothered
@@TheHamza5788 that's such a weird response considering you could be bothered to say you Googled it and found an answer but can't actually answer the question. Get bent.
@@iamV10010 "The sign beneath the name, styled "Formerly Lehman Brothers", is a reference to the Financial Crisis of 2008. The already fragile international economy dipped significantly during this time when the banking giant, Lehman Brothers, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, an event widely accepted as a major contributing factor to the global financial crisis.
In the Mandarin version of the film in Taiwan, the sign is translated as "枉又憎集團", literally meaning "the corporation of wrongfulness and hatred". It is the reference of a late entrepreneur Wang You-theng (王又曾), who was accused of embezzlement and fraud and fled to the United States until his death."

My theory is that the minions are actually destroyers of evil, mostly because every evil master they've served has died (usually as a direct result of their actions) until they serve Gru. This is probably because he is actually a good guy, who just attracted the minions because he acts evil a lot.
hmm it actually make sense
I think this makes sense! They also really don't act evil in the Despicable Me movies, and you'd think when Gru became good they would have left him if they actually had evil intentions
