    Unoriginal AND proven false by the source material (they were conveniently stuck in an ice cave)

        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.)

      They were no doubt involved with banana republics. Can’t forget the Khmer rouge so so many evil things they did

        For sure. They were part of Operation Paperclip and went to work for H. W. Bush who sent them to South America as CIA operatives after WW2. They became close friends with G. W. Bush during that time and followed him to the White House, which is how they met Dick Cheney.

      They seem to be wowed more by flash than anything, and the villains don’t seem to be particularly competent or bright. That rules out Larry Ellison and AIPIC.

      Various congressional Republicans, Elon Musk, or Javier Milei.

    They were too busy helping the British systematically starve millions of Indians.

    PS: There were no good guys in WW2.

    I think they’d have split into groups, some with the Nazis, some with the British empire, some with the Japanese Imperial army…

    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

    They were obviously a few in the bunker with hitler, probably meant to hand him a banana but accidentally gave him his gun. Probably not worth mentioning in the movies

    Or catholic priests…

    The Church got away with a lot in WWII, the President of Slovakia was a priest and that country was the one that killed most jews proportionally.

    Lets, not forget either that the biggest monstrosity of WWII was the religious cleansing, who had a beef with the Jews?

    I rest my case.
