What happened? Where's the release date of "Minions: The Rise of Gru"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2804:14C:598B:A2F1:8180:4BCD:E95:7089 (talk) 01:11, 25 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Seem you didn't get the memo, the film got delayed as Illumination had to suspend production because of the current coronavirus pandemic -Gouleg (Talk • Contribs) 01:26, 25 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

M:TRoG going on streaming?[edit]

This article says that Minions: The Rise of Gru will stream on Peacock the same day that it will release in theaters, but I see no citation or article proving this. Will the movie really go on streaming the same day it releases in theaters? Red4Smash (talk) 04:13, 2 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

RZA's role in the film[edit]

RZA is listed as having an "undisclosed role" in the film. Around late March however, Panamanian rapper Sech announced he was going to voice a character named Biker in this film (Spanish link). And recently the Minions account on Twitter finally revealed RZA's character in the film, which is the same character Sech announced he was going to voice. Just a heads up in case editors add this info that is based on non-English sources and WP:OR ~~which I find really arbitrary in a case like this~~ -Gouleg🛋️ ^harass/_hound 13:30, 13 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Addendum: It's probably for the best, we don't know if this character is simply an unnamed biker or its name really is Biker -Gouleg🛋️ ^harass/_hound 13:34, 13 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

In the "Critical response" section: the correct Rotten Tomatoes critic average rating as of writing is 6.2, not 9.2 - maybe the audience score and critic average rating look mixed up there. Correct the "critic average rating" on this article from 9.2 to 6.2 or whatever else it's as of right now. 2A02:C7E:FF3:1400:3DFD:D638:3926:3E9 (talk) 20:54, 2 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The period in which the film takes place...[edit]

....is inconsistent. I know the first one is set in 1968 and this one in 1976, but Gru didn't really age from one film to the other. It opens a problem in continuity, sure, but the Gru we see at the end of that film is not a three-year old. So to say the film opens eight years after the first one doesn't really make sense to me. Madyoshi01 (talk) 23:09, 2 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The wording has been changed to just name the year without the time passed from the first film. Quoting a close friend of mine "it seems like Illumination cares but also doesn't care about continuity" -Gouleg🛋️ ^harass/_hound 13:15, 4 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Film's reception[edit]

Look, I don't wanna start an edit war about this, but the point's that the film indeed received GENERALLY (note the generally) positive reviews from critics. Just go to Rotten Tomatoes or Metacritic to check what I'm saying (becuase in said site, the positive reviews MINIMALLY surpass the mixed ones, though that's already a thing), and besides in RT, you'll see the film has a 70%, which indicates mostly positive reviews. Just saying this out, and sorry for the really long paragraph, but, you know, I had to mention this. SupraMerioBros. (talk) 00:52, 6 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Alternative, anti-evil ending for the PRC market due to censors' demands[edit]

This should be mentioned: https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2022/08/24/minions-rise-of-gru-china-film-censorship/ Apparently China insisted that Gru should be captured and made to promise to change his villainous ways. 62.73.69.121 (talk) 06:08, 16 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

WaPo is paywalled but the China ending is already mentioned in the Release section of the article -Gouleg🛋️ ^harass/_hound (she/her) 14:20, 16 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
