#Gru from despicable me?

[cartoonsinthemorning]

Hilarious how the mp100 fandom wholeheartedly convinced themselves that Reigen becoming a super popular meow meow is a totally unexpected phenomenon.

"He is so pathetic, how is it possible we love him so muuuch??? Thee-eheh we are so quirky for loving Reigen "

He's a young, conventionally attractive male character wearing a suit having his vulnerabilities explored in canon

ITS LIKE HE WAS LAB ENGINEERED TO BE APPEALING come on

The bois from 1989

I watched the second trailer for Despicable Me 4 and was left with a mental breakdown. I can’t. I can’t handle this. I guess at this point Gru’s character is completely assassinated by Illumination themselves and there is no bringing him back to how badass and cool he was in the first two movies (ESPECIALLY in the very first one yeah). I drew and completed this artwork before the trailer came out today, but now I want it to be a memorial of a prequel that will never happen because this studio is not interested in expanding the story on who were supposed to be two of its main characters, its focus completely shifted towards minions. And stupid, childish and mostly unfunny gags.

We will never see a glimpse of those almost 40 years Gru and Nefario had spent working together in between of “Minions: The Rise of Gru” and “Despicable Me 1”. We only heard their glory days being mentioned two or three times throughout the movies. But we never saw them and most probably never will. The only thing that we can do here is just use our imagination. I used mine and drew this.

Did quite a long research on men’s fashion of 80s. Gru is around 24-25 here and Nefario is 46-47, something like that. His hair already gradually goes gray, but the SWAG is still there.

I don't want any spoilers but I feel like, based on what I saw in the trailer, Gru will have BIG problems trying to explain what he was doing when he left home in the middle of the night with underaged girl from his neighbourhood to an unknown location and without telling anyone.

I have A BUNCH of despicable me doodles just sitting unfinished on my desktop but they feeeel like they’re missing something so I’ve been quickly throwing some colors onto them and these are the only ones that look really done

Stay tuned for more!

Margo: Uncle Maxime, are you also wearing a blindfold?

Maxime: No, but with these cataracts I might as well be. What is that, a woodpecker? *Drives off the road through a fence*

thoughts on Despicable Me 4...🐜✨

i finally got to see Despicable Me 4 today and wanted to share a few thoughts, as it's a series near and dear to my heart (and same for many pals on here 🥰). of course, massive spoilers below!!!

so to start off: DM4 is tremendously charming and funny just like it's predecessors! there's plenty of fun action, an entertaining roster of new characters to enjoy and some very interesting lore-building on the origin of supervillainy in the DM universe. i laughed a lot and generally found it to be a fun little romp!! and of course, y'all know how obsessed i am with the main baddie 🙈💖

that being said, i do feel that DM4 was a little...thematically muddled, in places, with a few aspects falling short of expectations. whilst i adore him, i think this can be felt most with Maxime Le Mal, our fabulous bug-themed villain. although Maxime had a killer entrance and a truly terrifying vendetta against Gru, i was a little deflated to see it revealed to just be a routine high school rivalry...with no particular explanation!! i was left with so many more questions about him and his history: when did his and Gru's rivalry begin, and why? why is Maxime Übelschlecht's favourite student? what's Maxime's background? how did he and Valentina meet, and why did they stay together? can he transform at will, or was he turned back into a human by the AVL?

likewise, Maxime's partner Valentina suffered a great deal more: despite a banging design and a touted history as a femme fatale, Valentina ended up not being much more than Maxime's girlfriend, which was...bizarre, honestly. i kind of felt that they accidentally gave the badass action sequences and lore development which should've gone to Valentina to Principal Übelschlecht...which was odd!! it feels like we were given the tantalising suggestion of all the history at Lycée Pas Bon, but all we got to see was a glimpse at the talent show. which felt like a waste!!! i have a few thoughts on how Valentina could've been made more vital to the story, which i'll expand upon another time 🔥

it's a similar odd unbalanced feeling when it comes to Lucy, Margot, Edith and Agnes...lots of us were interested in seeing how Gru and Lucy having a biological child affected the girls, but it seems to be a non-issue. having the girls and their development be sidelined again so we can explore a different young character wanting to explore villainy (Poppy) seems like such an odd choice to me...as cool as Poppy is, why not just make it one of Gru's kids? it kind of felt like Gru has 'finished' bonding with the girls, so his trying to bond with Gru Junior was prioritised 💔

here's the thing: i think the scenes with Gru and Poppy were incredibly strong, and him mentoring a young villain is a fabulous idea! but why move it from Lycée Pas Bon at all? imagine a version of the movie where one of the girls - or all of them!-is/are accepted at Lycée Pas Bon as a student, and the whole family relocates to support her/them. perhaps Maxime could've stayed on as a villainy teacher, and Poppy could've been an already-enrolled student!! then we could've had that re-emergence of old high school rivalries along with the AVL subplot, Poppy wanting to pull a heist, etc. without Maxime and Valentina needing to spend half their time off-screen hunting for Gru!! 😭💖

weighing all of that up... i really enjoyed Despicable Me 4, but there were lots of places where i think the elements weren't properly blended or expanded upon. it felt like perhaps there were too many things going on at once, and they weren't cooked for quite long enough? but hey, that's alright - it makes the universe a more fun sandbox to play in :3c plus, this movie can't go down in my estimation - not only does it have Maxime Le Mal, but we also got to see all of our old favourite villains!!! (the way i SCREAMED seeing Balthazar again oh my god-!!!)

so yeah!!! really fun movie with plenty of stuff to keep us guessing and coming up with interesting new angles in the fandom :3c i'd love to hear your thoughts!!!

Here I go again....

I feel like the growing pains between Nefario and these guys learning to work together would be....horrendous lol

ALSO OTTO AND MEL 'cause I love them both and I haven't seen a human design for mEL?? a crime

Frendly reminder that gru is an absolute genetic milkshake

A short eternity later...

G’AH, has more than a week passed already? D: Apologies for the less frequent posts, guys! I swear it’s only due to the fact that I’m insanely busy and not because I’m any less attached to these characters whatsoever. 😭

Speaking of which, I had a bunch of jumbled thoughts related to my previous time travel concept that I’ve decided to abridge and put together as yet another experiment. I kinda love the idea of Gru getting a chance to meet Nefario as a child, and in turn longing to have a sincere talk with him as a young adult. 🌇 💙
