That’s a great question. However, as we saw in the 2015 Illumination Entertainment picture made possible for the screen by Universal Studios, the lore is explained that throughout time, Minions follow the most evil being, as you said. However, this worship, if you will, pertains only to the evil of earthly relevance and occupation. Bearing this in mind, it’s not hard to imagine that those silly little yellow tic-tacs has quite an adventure.

But what draws my eye though, is the time period in the early to mid 20th century. A time of strife. A time of turmoil. A time of hardship and war.

If we are to assume that minions follow the greatest evil on all of earth, does that mean that the minions were follows of Hitler’s Third Reich? I shudder to imagine what it would look like as though wacky little buttplugs put screaming, parentless, confuses, scared children to their excruciating deaths.

I can only imagine it as such. Just think. As the gas chambers filled with that thing, wispy death, and the children slowly embraced their horrific deaths and it felt like their little lungs were engulfed in flame, one voice could be heard above all. “Banana!” it rang out. And in that fleeting moment, the children knew that God was empty.
