I have thought about this since the film came out, but if Gru was Robert's favorite and Dru was Marlena's favorite, why the two took the wrong son for each other? Gru spend his childhood being belittled by his mother and Dru spend his own feeling himself to be a disappointment to his father! It would not have been much better for Gru to have been raised by his father and for Dru to have been raised by his mother?
They only became the sons the other parent wanted as a result of their upbringing by the parents that did want them.
Gru's name isn't actually Gru—Gru is his surname, and his full name is Felonius Gru. Did his parents really call their other son Dru Gru?
When Gru and Dru went on their heist to retrieve the Dupont Diamond from Bratt, with the former secretly planning to turn it in to the AVL to get rehired. Just one problem: Did Gru really expect to get rehired just by retrieving the Diamond from Bratt when new AVL head Valerie Da Vinci made it crystal clear that she wanted Bratt himself and not the diamond (which is why he was fired in the first place)?
Maybe Gru didn't think about that before making the plan to steal the diamond.
In his lair Bratt states he's glad Gru isn't there to stop him but quickly changes his mind. Just one question—how did he know Gru was fired from the AVL?
Maybe he was disguised in secret among one of the agents. Or maybe he was disguised as Valerie Da Vinci.
How did Bratt know where Dru's house was in order to steal back the diamond Gru and Dru stole from him and kidnap the girls? He wasn't seen following them. And even more, how did beat them there, even with the knowledge?
I'm sure one of the Bratt toys followed them in secret and gave Bratt the location.
If I remember correctly, He was dressed up as Lucy as he removed the outfit on the plane. So what if he was the one who was flying the plane that Dru and Gru were in when they nearly fell and somehow sneakily entered the mansion to steal the girls. He did say "Now, that’s what I call acting" when he left the mansion, which could be interpreted to mean that he was bragging about how he was able to imitate Lucy’s voice perfectly.
Why didn't Bratt just go on a destructive rampage in Hollywood (like kicking over countless of buildings then using his laser to slice apart the city and its buildings, Shin Godzilla style)?
Because his plan to use bubblegum to float Hollywood (in mint condition) into space would be de-fictionalizing one of the episodes from his hit TV show Evil Bratt. He wants every detail of that episode carried out into the real world.
One thing confused me. What is the proper spelling for the name of the diamond? In the junior novelization other printed media, it's spelled Dupont, while in the DVD subtitles, it's spelled Dumont. What's more confusing is the characters keep alternating the pronunciation with a M and a P. What's the proper name for the diamond?
If this is the first time we see Mel, then how did we NOT see him the previous films?
There are approximately 800-1000 different minions and so with what equates to a sea of minions, Mel could’ve been lost among them and wasn’t mentioned by name by Gru as he might’ve found it difficult to keep track of their names.
