Minions 2's Best Character Creates A Dark Despicable Me Plot Hole

screenrant.com:

A minor character introduced in Minions: The Rise of Gru actually creates a dark Despicable Me plot hole through their absence. Minions: The Rise of Gru is the second prequel to the Despicable Me franchise, exploring the early days of Gru's villainy as he teams up with his yellow, denim-wearing associates. The Rise of Gru follows young Gru as he attempts to join his favorite group of villains, the Vicious 6, but instead learns an important and valuable lesson about the importance of teamwork and loyalty.

The Minions sequel reveals much about the Minions and how their relationship with Gru developed leading up to Despicable Me. Their loyalty to their "mini-boss" is unflinching, and when he's kidnapped by the villain Wild Knuckles, they launch into action, willing to stop at nothing until he's safe. They encounter acupuncturist Master Chow, who instructs Kevin, Stuart, and Bob in Kung Fu in order to rescue Gru. This leads them to Minions: The Rise of Gru's climactic battle, in which they find their inner beasts, and, transformed by the power of the Chinese Zodiac into a rabbit, a rooster, and a goat, fight the Vicious 6.

One small gag during the Minions' transformation is that one of the eggs laid by Stuart hatches into a Minion chick. When the Zodiac powers are reversed, the Minions revert to their normal form, but the Chickinion remains unchanged. It's seen again in Minions: The Rise of Gru's after-credits scene, confirming that it still exists even after the Zodiac magic had worn off. However, this creates a subtle — but dark — plot hole regarding the baby chicken minion's whereabouts in the Despicable Me movies.
