Despicable Me 2 - Despicable Me Wiki “. When the world needed a hero, they called a villain.
Tagline. Despicable Me 2 is the 2. D film, Despicable Me. Produced by Illumination Entertainment for Universal Pictures, it is directed again by Pierre Coffin and Chris Renaud, and written by Cinco Paul and Ken Daurio. Steve Carell, Russell Brand, Miranda Cosgrove, and Kristen Wiig reprised their roles.
New cast includes Benjamin Bratt as Eduardo, Gru's nemesis, Moises Arias as Antonio and Steve Coogan as Silas Ramsbottom, the head of the Anti- Villain League. The film was released on July 3, 2. It is the second highest grossing film of 2. Plot. A secret laboratory in the Arctic Circle has just been stolen with a mysterious giant magnet. This arouses the suspicion of the Anti- Villain League, as the lab contains the mutagen, PX- 4.
The organization must find someone to stop the mutagen from falling into the wrong hands. To that end, Lucy Wilde, an AVL agent, forcibly abducts ex- villain Gru, and takes him to the AVL's underwater headquarters, where its director, Silas Ramsbottom, asks Gru to assist its agents in their efforts to track down the perpetrator and the missing mutagen. Gru refuses, preferring to concentrate on his new venture of producing bottled jellies and the responsibilities of being a father to his three adopted girls. Before he leaves, Lucy admits she was impressed by his work as a villain and gives her namecard to Gru, urging him to contact her if he changes his mind. Upon returning to his lab, Gru discovers that his Minion- run production line churned out an awful- tasting jelly.
Additionally, his research scientist, Dr. Nefario, confesses to Gru that he misses being "evil" and has been offered employment elsewhere. After giving Dr. Nefario a 2. Gru contacts Lucy and takes on the task of recovering the stolen mutagen. The PX- 4. 1's distinct chemical signature narrows the search to the confines of The Paradise shopping mall. Gru works undercover as the owner of a cupcake shop in that mall with Lucy being assigned as his partner.
He suspects one of the owners of a restaurant, named Eduardo Perez, in the mall to be an old super- villain called El Macho. El Macho supposedly met his fiery demise after body- strapping TNT and riding a shark into an active volcano. Lucy and Gru then decide to break into his restaurant and narrowly escape from being caught, but find nothing to attach Eduardo to the crime. While the team is having more progress investigating wig merchant Floyd Eagle- san, Margo begins to develop a crush on Eduardo's son, Antonio, to Gru's frustration. The whole family is invited to Eduardo's Cinco de Mayo party at his mansion where Gru's over- protectiveness of his daughter leads him to make baseless wild accusations to the AVL about Eduardo as El Macho and his son, which are scoffed at.
Later that day, a determined matchmaking neighbour, Jillian, sets a reluctant Gru up on a date with her rude and superficial friend Shannon. During the date, Shannon discovers Gru's wig and threatens to humiliate him, but Lucy saves him by shooting her with a Mild Moose Tranquilizer Dart. They take Shannon home and Gru falls in love with Lucy. When he arrives at the mall the next day, the Anti- Villain League arrests Floyd Eagle- san, who protests vehemently that he was framed, after the AVL team uncovers the empty mutagen jar in his shop.
The Chief of AVL tells Gru that the case is now closed and that Lucy will transferred to the AVL's Australian branch. Gru, unable to muster the courage to ask Lucy out despite deliberating for a long time, incinerates his telephone out of frustration. The family then goes to Eduardo's party. Gru follows Eduardo and discovers that he was correct about Eduardo. Gru also discovers that Dr. Nefario has been working for Eduardo and that the duo has been capturing and mutating some of the Minions into the same purple- furred monsters as the serum creates. Eduardo offers Gru a chance to conquer the world, but Gru makes his excuses and hastily leaves with the girls.
Margo has also broken up with Antonio as he became interested in another girl. Gru tells Margo he stinks. For breaking her heart, Gru encases him in a block of ice with his freeze- ray. Lucy, while in the plane bound for Australia, realizes that she wants to be with Gru, and jumps out to hang- glide to the party. Eduardo discovers who she is, after his chicken retrieves her AVL ID badge from her purse, and captures her. Dr. Nefario calls Gru to tell him that Lucy has been captured. Gru disguises two of his minions in purple paint, which escort his "captured" self into the Eduardo's compound in a rescue attempt.
Gru manages to restore the minions who are under El Macho's control using the PX- 4. Antidote mixed with the awful- tasting jam which Dr. Nefario made and defeats El Macho after he drinks the PX- 4. After El Macho collapses to the ground, Gru tries to untie Lucy who is strapped onto a TNT- equipped shark rocket. While attempting to do so, Eduardo's pet chicken triggers the launch remote, Gru says "I really hate that chicken.",and sends the pair flying towards the lava- spewing volcano where El Macho faked his death. While on the rocket, Lucy accepts Gru's date invitation before the pair dives into the safety of the ocean, just seconds before the rocket explodes.
One hundred and forty- seven dates later, the two are married and the girls finally have a mother. The minions close with a rendition of "Y. M. C. A" and "I Swear"(mistakenly sung as "Underwear") while the family dances. The film then ends with an Evil Minion screaming at the camera to make the family and the minions confused. During the credits, 3 Minions are seen "auditioning" for the upcoming Minions movie. However, a black wall showing the credits keeps falling and blocking their way.
When the fly is buzzing around, Bob tries to hit it with a fly swatter. He fails and almost fell out of the black wall, however, Kevin grabs his legs, but Bob must have been to heavy, because Kevin and Bob fell out of the black wall. Stuart joined and fell out of the black wall too. Cast Main Characters.

Villain Exit Stage Left - TV Tropes"We could stop 'em, but I'm sure today's events put a complete end to his megalomaniac tendencies forever."Once their plot is foiled the villain (less often, a hero) will always get away in the most undignified and cowardly fashion imaginable. If they didn't, who would the hero fight next episode? This is probably why the heroes either don't even bother chasing them, or else send Red Shirts after them with predictable results, or even help them get away. Other times, they're just being sporting. No blockades, no manhunts, not even pursued by a bear.
After all, it's at the end of the episode. Regardless of the means, the escaped Smug Snake will gloat about how it "all went according to plan", maybe set off the Self- Destruct Mechanism in the Collapsing Lair, and return "triumphantly" next episode. Less often, you'll see them lick their figurative and literal wounds at having not only been beat, but forced to show the better part of valour and try to come up with a new Plot Of The Week that will work, throwing in a "Next Time, Tropeworthy!" for good measure. Most villains who exit stage left also favor the Friend or Idol Decision and Sadistic Choice as backups, setting off small bombs or traps on loved ones to force the hero to choose between their capture or their friends' lives. This also frequently happens with Genre Blind villains who leave the hero in an easily defeated Death Trap room rather than stay and make sure the job gets done correctly, i. Just Shoot Him. May be accompanied by a Hiss Before Fleeing or Angry Fist- Shake. See also Screw This, I'm Outta Here!
Compare So Long, Suckers!, Karma Houdini and Know When to Fold 'Em. Contrast with Last Villain Stand where the villain decides to stick around and fight to the end. There may be unmarked spoilers ahead! open/close all folders Anime and Manga In Bleach. Gin walks away from his fight with Hitsugaya after Rangiku persuades him to stand down.
Hitsugaya initially wants to continue, but Gin tells him he should tend to the unconscious Momo first. When Ichigo gets his powers back and Ginjo realizes Ichigo is vastly more powerful than him, he panics and tries to escape, but Ichigo easily catches up to him and throws him down. Naraku had an irritating habit of doing this. Every episode Naraku was directly involved in ended with him either running away after getting his ass handed to him or him doing something that made it impossible for him to be directly attacked. And every single incarnation he created would inevitably run like hell when things got sticky.
Honestly, how many times can the Big Bad get savaged and still claim to be all powerful? Thankfully inverted with the Band of Seven. Except for maybe once or twice, they all fight to the death. Inuyasha even tells the leader that he can leave, but he refuses because he wants to avenge his friends.
Is it any wonder why a group of specters who got curb- stomped in only a handful of battles are seen as more bad- ass than the Big Bad of the entire story? In the Mai- Hi. ME manga, Nao leaves her fight with Mai and Yuuichi after Yuuichi knocks Nao's key away, preventing her from using her Child. Mai and Yuuichi demand an apology for remarks Nao made about the other. Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch: Every time after the heroines perform their song, which end with a "Love Shower Pitch!" (and followed with "How about an encore?"), the villains (most of them) they just beat always teleport away afterwards. In Naruto, Itachi Uchiha is a master of the Art of Run. Most likely explained by the revelation that he was a double agent who wanted to limit any damage done to the good guys. Kabuto and Orochimaru seem to be impossibly good at escaping when at a disadvantage, especially when compared to the majority of other villains.
A fair amount of the time, their opponents are also badly injured or out of chakra, though. A rare villain- villain example: Gecko Moria in One Piece at the end of the Marineford arc was supposed to be killed as his performance simply wasn't impressive enough. However, Doflamingo reports that he used his abilities in a way he hadn't been seen to before in order to escape.
No one in Pokémon ever bother to chase Team Rocket after they "blast off again". This was addressed in one episode, an Officer Jenny blasted them off, disappointed that they got away but remarking that there were more powerful members of Team Rocket around that the police force should occupy their time with catching. On the other hand, they usually don't let them escape conventionally. If Team Rocket attempt to run and surrender in a transitional sense of the trope, the heroes will often decide they're not finished and continue attacking until it triggers their usual "blast off". In this sense, Team Rocket also escape, but never avoid a comeuppance. As of Black and White, instead of "blasting off", they simply escape, usually by jetpack, when they lose.
Pixy Misa in the Pretty Sammy series always leaves just before her Monster of the Week gets vaporized. One particularly weird exit was when she left on a huge cruise ship that randomly appeared in Pretty Space. In Sailor Moon, after the Monster of the Week is deployed, the member of the Quirky Miniboss Squad who did it virtually always teleports, drives or runs away while the main characters are distracted by the monster. In some cases, they actually watch the battle without participating, and then escape after the monster is defeated. Of course, nobody bothers to stop or chase them; except once when the Outers try attacking Kaolinite. She summons up incredible power to beat them all..
Averted in episode 3. After the monster is defeated, Jedite takes on Sailor Moon in combat and almost defeats her before Tuxedo Mask shows up. In Science Ninja Team Gatchaman, this trope is subverted in "Get Berg Katze" where the episode begins where the stories typically end, with the destruction of the Galactor mecha of the week and Katze escaping in his personal craft. Afterward, Professor Nambu orders the team to actually pursue Katze for once, and the villain is shocked (Shocked!) to see the team do so. But he must have thought about it at some point, since he escaped his escape craft via smaller escape craft. Then things got really weird.
You mean the exploding bananas? Katse was king of this trope, what with the mooks blocking the heroes, the innocents needing to be rescued, the sliding doors, and the bombs. Small personal and medium bombs, as well as the blow- up- the- base variety. Eggman tended to pull this in Sonic X episodes. Quartz Christie runs away at the end of the Bodacious Space Pirates series after the Grand Cross was curbstomped due to mostly her overconfidence. To make matters worse, she promised Kato Marika that she would not "run and hide", but a minute later, heads to her escape craft and activates the self- destruct mechanism. She is later shown in her escape craft, pleased to save the battle strategy data that may have led to her easily being defeated, and that she destroyed the last Grand Cross ship to eliminate any evidence of her humiliation..
Marika once again. The members of the Quirky Mini Boss Squads from Fresh Pretty Cure! Suite Pretty Cure ♪ have to left the battlefields without Villain Teleportation because they cannot teleport like all other villains.
And they can't fly by their own either. Dragon Ball Z: Double subverted at the end of the Saiyan Saga, when its main villain Vegeta tries to leave Earth in his spacepod after the proud warrior has been defeated and humiliated by Goku and his allies, and lost his tail in the process. Just as he's about to get away, Krillin tries to off him with Yajirobe's sword, but then Goku telepathically talks Krillin out of it and Vegeta goes on his way to recover for the next arc. Dragon Ball GT: Subverted when Baby is defeated. He runs to a spaceship and flies away. Everybody asks Goku why he just stood there and let him escape, then he explains he just wanted Baby in the perfect position. Goku then fires a massive Kamehameha that catches the spaceship, sending Baby straight into the sun, where he's completely incinerated.
High School Dx D usually averts this as the villains are usually dealt with by the end of the volume. Only the major arc villains have so far played this straight, but not always cleanly. The Hero Faction escapes in Volume 9 after Issei gets a power- up and the original Sun Wukong shows up. However, Issei still takes one of Cao Cao's eyes with a parting shot. The remnants of the Hero Faction escape again after their defeat in Volume 1.
Underworld and confiscates their Sacred Gears for their failure. The members of the Qlippoth Faction tend to play this straight. By Volume 1. 9, the heroes have learned to expect this and set up countermeasures in advance to stop them from doing this. Comic Books Subverted in Cable & Deadpool #4. Deadpool and Ka- Zar thwart one of Brainchild's latest plans to take over the Savage Land he and his minions try to escape on pterodactyls. Ka- Zar laments that Brainchild has escaped even though he's really not that far away and he could go after him on foot as it's hard to loose a flying lizard with people on it. Deadpool, Genre Savvy as he is, simply shoots the pterodactyl Brainchild is riding sending it tumbling down into the waiting jaws of some very hungry T- rexes. Deadpool then tells Ka- Zar that he should really try using guns.
In the Marvel Universe, The Red Skull justifies this trope by preparing his escape routes with care with obstacles that justifiably discourage the heroes from pursuing him. For instance, his first Silver Age appearance has him escaping through a hidden wall panel door. Bucky is all for smashing through it to begin the chase, but Captain America realizes that panel is a disguised steel door and by the time they get it open to the escape tunnel, the Skull would be long gone.
As Cap says in the story "Whoever this Red Skull is, he's no amateur!".
