Thinking too much, that little yellow thing is the protagonist!

At the beginning of the movie, it was discovered that the pyramid had been stolen. Could it be crazy? At the beginning, it shocked you and endless associations, what else can be stolen? Soon, the back of the film tells you that someone plans to steal the moon! Damn, I didn't expect it! It seems I have to see how he did it!
I believe that human beings do not lack imagination at all, but many people slowly lose their willingness to imagine. Society teaches us to be pragmatic and not to daydream.


But soon, we discovered that the core of the film is not stealing the moon at all, but the transformation of Gru's mood.
In fact, seeing halfway through, I also have similar ideas to Dr. Nefario. Isn't this a typical "super villain"! However, the intervention of the three little girls quietly dimmed Gru's "super villain" charm, which was too wasteful and disappointing. I just want to see Gru steal all the bulky objects in the world, the moon, Mars, the sun, oh come on, it’s a pleasure to think about it! I hope he will be the ultimate super villain, worthy of the name, without blinking in front of good people.
Is the innocence too powerful, or is Gru not evil enough? In short, Gru's evil was slowly eroded by the stalking of the three girls, and in the end, that weak heart was revealed. I admit that the cuteness of the three little girls makes me a little bit overwhelmed, but I am not Gru, and his defense power should be hundreds of times stronger than mine!
I should think about this issue from another angle. Think about it from Gru's perspective. From his childhood, the final result is his greatest need. He is content with himself, OK, then there is nothing to say. Each takes what you need.
So, it depends on what your needs are. If I am Gru, my need is to be the ultimate super villain, then no matter how cute the three of them are, I will kill them (too cruel, right? Or one Kick it out! No, I have to keep the troubles, lest I get kindhearted from behind, or kill me with a single blow! It's a bit like quitting smoking). The ultimate is not because it is the ultimate in itself, but it becomes the ultimate by removing all the obstacles that affect the ultimate.
Gru got an opportunity to be a good person. He seized this opportunity. Although he struggled, he eventually became a so-called good person, but it had nothing to do with the ultimate.


Well, I think too much, the little yellow thing is the protagonist!
