There's also the part in the third movie where Gru's brother asks about Margo's age and guesses 15, to which Gru angrily replies "She's twelve, ok? And she will always stay twelve!"

is ANYONE talking about how Gru STOLE the moon and the WORLD did NOT end?

My theory is that since parents always see their kids as, well, kids. Its not that they don't age, but that he still percieves them that way. And since he's the protagonist we see things from his perspective.

dude, you made me realize how deep this franchise really is

Gru's mum changed because she possibly felt quilty for neglecting her son. Like she failed as a mother, but she can try to fix it as a grandma. The fact that she quickly accepted the girls as family, not that gru is a failure and claims random children as his.

The thing I always had a problem with is that the kids IMMEDIATELLY start calling Lucy "mom" but they never call Gru "dad" even tho he's been in their lifes longer...

The boyfriend grows up to be How bad how bad how bad can I be from The Lorax.

Lets be honest, lucy being pregnant throughout 3 without having any diff fighting is peak mom vibes.

It's probably a case of the parent always seeing his children as his babies, so although they probably do look older, in his eyes they look the same ever since he met them

No ones talking about how gru was 8 in 1968 but 11 in 1976 And also if vector is supposed to be in his 20's and gru is meant to be in his 50's in Despicable Me how is vector alive when gru is 11?

They aren't aging because modeling new GORLS would cost money, and they already have GORL models from the other films. They probably just didn't care about it because it's a movie

I think they will age them in a future film because it’s too good of an idea. Gru having to deal with the stress of them growing up and getting married and leaving would be fun to see and him accepting it.

In rise of gru, we see a picture of vector as a 8 year old. And that movie takes place in the 60s. But in 2009 vector is in his 20s somehow

The mom be making villager noises 💀💀💀

Bros cooking

I don't think the ending shows very good proof. Many parents say that to their children (or at least my mom does), and they don't give their children some anti-aging drug...

Bro I thought the same thing when I saw the trailer. I literally said “buddy, how are the kids the same age? And there’s a baby too? That’s not how aging works” 💀😭

No bullshit, no fluff, you came out swinging and didnt stop till bell broke. Respect, subbed and I wish you all the subs.

Nah, Gru is def guilty 😂

I clicked on this video expecting to be some Alex Bale theory video but turned out to be a video to remind me that Despicable Me 1 will always be the best one out of the whole series

The word “genuinely” was used so much in this video 😭😭

Imagine if Agnes were to grow up to become a villain and then Gru changes her heart and she becomes good again. If done well I think it could be great.

That would actually be a pretty good and funny reason as to why they don't age It combines his Villain and Father sides together to create a sweet on the surface, but downright messed up concept the more you think about it Maybe in a future installment this could be a plot point

They’re not ageing because they’re birthday is on 29th💀💀💀 Edit: 68 likes in 2 days that fast, but I swear if will make it into 1 billion in next year I wouldn’t be surprised.

Dude, the first Despicable Me was genually good

This is a pretty good theory

4:12 I also find it weird the Minions didnt think to give money in the first place, but that's also kind of the joke.

7:14 "to extend the video past 10 minutes for midroll ads"

DM4 will show them getting older. Just not physically lol. We see Agnes’s start rebelling against Grus requests and we can see in some trailers that Margo is getting anxious and stuff. Illumination just kept their designs the same, but in reality they are getting older. Hope that helps lol

I wonder if this would be a plot point. Maybe Maxine is a villain who wants to undo Gru’s device that is keeping them in a floating timeline.

I just love the whole build - up of this video then just ends off with that one line

I think the movies take place in the span of a year or two, but I think that there will be a huge time jump eventually. My own headcanon is that the movies take place in 3-6 months of each other. That is just my own theory. I don’t know though.

Also at the end of the 1st movie where Margo has fully accepted Gru as her father she hugs him and tells him she loves him, Gru at first looks shocked, probably didnt get a lot of hugs or affection when he was her age, but he still hugs her back and tells her: i love you too. Its insane how much Gru has developed in the first movie. I feel like what makes Gru such a loving father is that he wasnt loved himself and he doesnt want them to feel like they need to prove him they mean someting to him by stealing, causing problems and becoming powerful like he had to do just to get noticed by his own mother.

Also gru is nearly 60 years old, yet he has a newborn son. That's a little concerning.

I forgot that this was a theory video and then the sudden "Deage" line right after the movie recap slapped me hard in the face.

It's giving Timmy Turner makes a secret wish to stay 10 years old forever.

Smooth jazz and minions is a blend I never knew I needed

Full movie recap not a theory.

gru was afraid....illumination was afraid too....the irony is both are oppisite thought process.

cool content and high quality, im definetly subbing

Someone should tell this guy about Bart Simpson

Bro went from movie kids not aging to a yap fest of appreciation from the movie half way through 😭🙏

Well if you have watched the minions you would see in the rise of Gru the doctor and gru knew of each other since gru was a kid starting off as a villain helping him escape from the villainess six

Cool theory Max, keep it up!

"i have just one small theory" ahh video 💀 (it's a great video, i subbed)

I really love your videos man‼️ Ever since all of the spongebob videos I could not stop watching. I was wondering if you could do some content around regular show like “the best regular show episode”

The first time I watched Despicable Me was when I was little. My sister switched on a channel, and I asked "What's this movie about?" And my sister replied "It's a cool movie." Never doubted her, and she was right.

well, animators do not want to change the desing I guess

I'm happy when you upload :)

Drake: I have a theory. Age is just a- FBI: **FBI OPEN UP!!!**

This is not a theory. You just wanted an excuse to recap Despicable Me 1 and show your appreciation for it!

Yeah think they should have aged them.

Falling more and more in love with the kids 💀

It obviously works on comic book aging. Peter Parker stays in school, the Simpsons kids never grow up. And it was never about having the moon, it was just about being able to get it. Quite literally the rocket we built along the way.

i just want to clarify that supposedly starting from Agnes in the first film had age 10 and now on this movie she is canonically 13

I love this theory and it makes sense, I would not be surprised if Gru did that, but the fact that Gru told Agnes to not grow up it’s not the best way to confirm the theory, it’s very common for parents to tell their kids to not grow up, Gru was just being a parent in that scene, great video tho, you did a great job explaining everything and going straight to the point

Bro is bout to blow up with this one

this makes me think that gru making the kids stay the same age will be a actual plotline idk

6 years old i thought she was 3 lol i was more adultlike at 6 than her...

Gru using an deaging machine makes sense the most

Personally, I think that Despicable Me takes place in the 90s, and that every film takes place in a week or month.

Man, I love theories for dumb movies ,which have big continuity issues, used to explain such shortcomings.

If ya think about it: Vector is dark for wanting to take the girls. like what was he planning?

Im not sure if this is true or not but the three main minions in the spin off movie,Kevin, Stuart and Bob were inspired by the three girls and their personalities

“Stay with me here” ahh essay 💀💀(my world view has been shifted forever)

Theory 3, it's just easier to use an existing 3D model instead of making a brand new one. It's why Margo, Edith & Agnes are the same. Their designs have never changed because they've been using the same models since DM1. It's likely to save time and cut corners. It's not as farfetched when you think about it. Like, imagine how much time it takes for the animators to animate the Minions. Other examples I can think of are the Incredibles 2, the Cars Franchise, Toy Story, basically any franchises where the characters don't 'age'. It's just easier to use the existing models instead of aging them up.

sometimes, times 3 years isn't huge jump...someone who is 29 can still look 18 too. but by the time their mid 30s they look late 20s. Good genes.

i played it just now and its fun, however i feel the movement should be quicker. you could add e to roll maybe a dash and even a sprint feature. another thing (sorry lol) is that the lobby is massive and theres not much to do, you could impliment a small obby which gives then 5 bucks each time. other than that the game has potential. goodluck!

Bro how’d you make me cry already 😭 (I’m only 40% through)

his source for immortality is right Infront of him too, the minions.

The voice acting goes crazy

Illumination's excuse for keeping Gru's family the same age is likely that Gru invented a de-aging machine off-screen.

Maybe there is a thing in the despicable me universe where there is like an illness that u get when ur born where u stop aging and all 3 girls have it for some reason

They actually aged Margo is 13 Enid is 11 Agnes is 8 Gru is 58 Lucy is 38

immortal beings i say

Aren't minions immortal? If so, they could be the source of a youth serum

nah, illumination just lazy to make new 3d models

2:15 cold hearted, didn’t care of love them as much? He knew them ALL by name in the first movie, what the heck are you talking about?

4:23 drizzy drake

this video was so off topic due to the whole explanation of there dad- daughter love and not the age thing, but it was so much more entertaining than the original concept 😭

Did you recap the movie cause you wanted an excuse to talk about it? Or were you padding the runtime? Lol jk it was fun

What gru meant was don’t grow up too quickly because if you get older and never enjoyed your childhood those memories would be missing

seems like the entire franchise takes place in around a week or something

Up until 7 minutes in the video, i forgot that this is an age video

I'm sure they'll finally age them up to make a plotline for DM5 pft...

That kind of makes sense.

What this guy is pointing at is maybe gru put De Aging potion on this kids.

I saw in their wiki page that each girl has two numbers in their age box, implying that they aged a little bit. And Margo’s jaw line looks different from the first movie

“I’m not a pregnancy expert” Good Lord, man. 😂

4:32 Dude your imitation almost kills me

Have u seen Mionions the rise of Gru movie and how he met the doctor!

You should already try this to every cartoon. Where no one ages!

it's a cartoon dammit

You my sir are one of the people who would go crazy over a single government quote

the gurls birthdays are on february 29th

I always found it weird how there was a photo of Vector as a kid in Minions: The Rise Of Gru. If Gru and Vector are both kids in the 70s then how is Vector suddenly half of Gru's age in Despicable Me 1? there's definitely some weird aging thing going on

Imagine ...JUST imagine, lets say that, as we see in the trailer, the 3 girls indeed haven't changed a bit, making them the same age as the 1st movie. WHAT IF in the beginning of the movie, we see the girls having the same age and gru treating them as such, but at a certain point in the movie, one of the girls (let's say Margo) tells him that she is not 12 years old anymore and then, in the movie, a grown up Margo is shown, so about 15 y/o. What I'm trying to say it's that it's a PERSPECTIVE THING. Gru doesn't want them to grow up, as most parents wouldn't with their own children. So we see the girls from Gru's perspective and the little pitch I did at the beginning would make them grow up in meaningful manner. Okay... brain steaming, too much overthinking... ..

In despicable me 3 gru says that Margot is 12 and she will always be 12

9:17 nice character designs

dont for get gru pass through those bunch of rocket types to show 😳
