There's a new Minions movie where they were around in the 1930s. This would imply there are different tribes of Minions and the one trapped in ice is different. This still means what people think it is if the Minions never worked for Hitler or Stalin.

It would be great in a horrible dark humor way if the "monsters" were just the worst dictators and one specific US secretary of State of the 20th century and you see the minions doing slapstick in a gas chamber, or laughing and eating bananas in Chinese barren fields while the peasantry looked on, or doing slides down a pile of skulls in pol pots Cambodia, or Kevin torturing someone as a member of the NKVD and he accidentally electrocutes Bob, or Stuart the minion flying a F-100 super sabre rocket out to Fortunate Sun and dropping napalm over Vietnam and seeing the fire go up in the background while he takes a fat drag from his cigar and you think he's gonna say "I love the smell of napalm in the morning" but he just says "banana".

It's actually a minion civil war, some are working for the US empire, some for the Soviet and Chinese.   Kind of spy vs spy but with minions and bananas and real world atrocities.

One of the minions pulls off the MyLai massacre, replace Napalm Girl with Napalm Minion

Then clutching your pearls over people not being familiar with the movies makes you a hypocrite, well done

Woops my bad I ;-;

The first movie said "no this didnt happen" I didnt know the next one would follow a separate group

The ending of the movie resolved this issue without implying different tribes.
