The extreme popularity of “Minions” speaks to a culture that celebrates conformity and the subjugation of the underclass. Yes or no?

Haven’t looked at the Minions or Despicable Me closely enough to tell.

They’re small hapless yellow things made of roundness. They’re cute.

The Minions Movie is pretty sweet and inoffensive, really. (There’s even a moment near the end which is sort of weirdly touching.) I know there is currently no shop, street, surface or food product in the Western world which hasn’t been Minionized, but I reckon kids could do a lot worse.
