The Minions franchise is no stranger to lore retcons, and the latest entry, Minions & Monsters, is no exception. The movie's premise of the Minions becoming Classic Hollywood stars in the 1920s raises questions about their previous history. The original Minions film established that the Minions had been hiding in an ice cave since 1812, avoiding involvement in major wars like World War I and World War II. This retconning of their history is intriguing, especially considering the potential implications for the Minions' alignment with historical villains. The author speculates that the movie might end with the Minions returning to their ice cave, or that the films' universe might imply that World War I didn't happen. Either way, the Minions' history is being rewritten, and the author finds this development fascinating, especially the potential for the Minions to have been involved in historical events that would have been awkward for the franchise. The movie's release on July 1st promises to reveal more about the Minions' adventures and their impact on history, leaving fans eager to see how the lore is further expanded and retconned.
