## Lists

### Minions

* If Bob were to use the new design during the credits, it would be a subtle nod to the Minions franchise and could help tie the two franchises together. Additionally, it could be a fun Easter egg for fans who are familiar with the Minions movies.
* At the end of the film, the Minions would still succeed in returning the crown to the Queen and defeating Herb and Overkill, but instead of counting their lives as super-villains, they would choose to use their unique skills and abilities for good. As a result, the Minions might be hailed as heroes and given a new role as protectors of the innocent, using their wacky and unpredictable nature to fight against true villains and keep the world safe. This could involve a variety of scenarios and settings, from thwarting bank robberies and stopping evil scientists to rescue kittens and saving the world from destruction.
	+ The change in the ending could lead to a different direction for the franchise, with the Minions potentially being seen as more heroic characters in future films and media.
	+ If the Minions were to be hailed as heroes instead of being thwarted in their villainous plans.The key elements of the first film are:

* The Minions accidentally foil Scarlet's plan
* Scarlet tries to execute them but Kevin escapes
* Kevin finds Elizabeth and rescues Stuart and Bob
* Kevin uses "The Ultimate Weapon" to become a giant and defeat Scarlet
* Elizabeth rewards the Minions and they become heroes

### Stand-alone different film in 2010

* Pierre Coffin would voice all the Minion characters

* The new character's dream is to become a superhero. Throughout the film, despite facing challenges and obstacles from the villain, the new character perseveres and dedicates himself to the cause of heroism and protecting innocents. With guidance and support from Kevin, Stuart and Bob, the new character learns what it truly means to be a hero and eventually achieves his dream of becoming a superhero, with the Minions as his sidekicks.
* Serving as sidekicks - Ultimately, by becoming his sidekicks, the Minions could directly support the new character in his superhero missions, helping him defeat villains and save innocents using their distinct skill sets and personalities. Training and developing his powers/skills - If the new character has powers or abilities he needs to hone in order to become a superhero, the Minions could help him practice and develop those powers through training, advice and activities that push him to strengthen his abilities.

* Their transition from searching for a master in the prequel film to becoming heroes and protectors of the innocents provides an arc for their characters that could help mentor and guide the new protagonist in achieving his dream of becoming a superhero.
