    Illumination locked tf in for once.

    Also, if you had told someone last year that Supergirl would get outjerked by the Minions, you’d be laughed out of the room.

      Why? The new DC universe was still in uncertain waters and the last minions movie was rated pretty favorably.

          Ehh, it was definitely polarizing and not like the movies before it. That’s for sure.

          I definitely wouldn’t call it fantastic. I do like it though.

            polarizing

            He’s a solar powered immigrant who overcomes his parents’ bigotry. I can’t believe a certain segment of the population would think it was targeting their culture.

              Is this a serious post? Do people actually think it was targeting their culture?

              I don’t see how he overcame his parents’ bigotry. He doesn’t even find out about it to nearly the end of the movie. He didn’t grow up around it. At best you could say it’s not genetic. But I think most everyone knows that already.

      I’d have believed that outcome even if someone said it 5 years ago. I like some of the DC stuff, but most of it in the last 15 years has just been entertaining, not actually good.
