Are the minions immortal?


Seems so

reply

I think so

Looks like it, to be around since the age of the dinosaurs.

Yeah I couldn't figure that out - what was with all the drama about Scarlett hurting them/killing them?

reply

I think they still can be killed in accidents, they just never grow old or sick.

i dont even think they can be killed EVER.

they have survived explosion, fire, acid burnt, bioweapon etc and still surviving. will they survive if they are being cut into half?

reply

They are invulnerable and immortal but don't know that (since they can feel pain and are too naive to learn much from experience), which is why they act as if they're very vulnerable.

reply

Either that or they live forever.

It would appear so. At least they don't age.

lol. I misread and for a second thought it read, "Are the minions immoral?" Which is also a good question since they've always wanted to work for the most evil thing they can find yet don't seem particularly bad themselves.

reply

Yep, and although they initially evolved they have not further evolved in millions of years and survived the great cataclysms that wiped out most other prehistoric life.
