What's wrong with people....


I thought I would come onto the Despicable Me board to read + get involved in some fun topics instead I see posts about minions being racists + the film not following the laws of physics etc... C'mon people when did we turn all serious + miserable.? This film is what it is, just a bit of fun meant to make ya smile + it does exactly that, it's not been made to send a message or make a point just a bit of fun!
Lighten up people!

I agree. Some people take things way too seriously. Relax, it's just an animated movie.



I guess the plan can work with two.

I missed all that stuff. I guess that means I'm neither serious nor miserable.

Exactly, the racist theory (should I give it such a respectable title) really grinds my gears! This movie works off the laws of CARTOON physics, people need to sit back and relax!

No doubt. I can't believe the assinine posts on this board. It's a cartoon for gosh sakes. Like the Wile E Coyote would never survive falling off that many cliffs or getting blown up so often. Or Daffy Duck getting shot in the face by Elmer Fudd and he lives? Really? You don't say.

^^^ Yes, this. And I don't get the racism complaints at all. Did some of these folks watch the same movie I did?



Next time you see me, it won't be me

Couldn't agree more...this is how I felt earlier when I went on The Croods message board (in case you haven't seen or heard of it, it's an animated film involving cavemen) and people were seriously criticizing the fact that the characters all spoke English and didn't have hairy armpits. Even though adults can - and do - enjoy these movies, do people forget that many of them are aimed at younger audiences? I'm sure kids would love to listen to a movie filled with cavemen grunting, with subtitles...and for the kids that can't even read yet, hope they have fun watching a bunch of nonsensical action on the screen, while being concerned about hairy pits. Either people have some ridiculously boring lives and enjoy trolling, or they've got some long sticks that need prying out of a very dark area. I love these movies, and never question the logic because...why???? Animated films can get away with anything...and that's part of the fun.

I couldn't agree more! I'm fed up with all the political correctness, racism & violence rubbish that people keep spouting out when it comes to kid's films. Do people seriously have nothing better to do? The films are just meant to be fun!

reply

Some people just have nothing positive to contribute with their continued existence, that's all.

I disagree in that I think it does have a serious message-- that love is all you need-- and that there is no greater accomplishment than being loved! And that adoption is a good thing!. . . I guess that's a few messages!
