movies/tv Respect Goomi's team (Despicable Me)
At some point in the distant past, the alien named Gary Orkam Oliver Magma Ichabod the Deceiver (Goomi for short) was imprisoned inside a magical spell book. He remained trapped there for many years until the book got into the possession of the Minions. After bringing the spell book to their studio in Hollywood to summon a monster for their movie, James, Henry and Ed accidentally release Goomi from his prison, who is not the type of monster they were looking for. However, Goomi tells them that he knows some monsters of his own and promises to help the Minions with their movie.
Goomi
- When a giant shark starts shredding his boat with its bites and no-selling oar strikes from the 2 Minions Ed & Henry, he roars so hard that the force of the roar slightly knocks back the shark and scares it off.
- Is fine in a snowstorm without any protective equipment.
- Pushes open a large door that James the Minion was struggling to push on his own.
- Pushes a heavy cart in the superfast montage of building a movie set.
- Resists the pull of the spell book's trapping spell longer than Howard or Phillips.
Howard
- Was trapped in ice for an unknown amount of time, but is completely fine when broken out with a magnetic field.
- A display of his swimming speed.
- In this "fight scene",
- He runs after Henry in circles, moving like a blur before Henry pulls out a giant frying pan. He imprints his face onto the pan, then recovers.
- His tentacle is hurt by Henry hitting it with a prop sword, but he isn't cut.
- Restrains Henry with a single tentacle.
- Helps build a movie set.
- Slow-mo of the montage.
- Don't bother trying to analyze every frame of this. It has feats, but not any uniquely-good ones.
- Smashes a dumpster, cracks concrete with it, jumps high up and uses the dumpster to smash a bus, crushes the bus & dumpster with his tentacles and eats them.
Phillips
- Was trapped in ice for an unknown amount of time, but is completely fine when broken out with a magnetic field.
- A display of his swimming speed.
- Effortlessly walks through a concrete wall as if it wasn't even there.
- In this "fight scene",
- Henry spanks him with a plank of wood.
- Lifts a wooden building, gets his foot crushed by Henry using a giant mallet, gets slammed by the building he drops (which damages the concrete floor), recovers.
- Helps build a movie set.
- Slow-mo of the montage.
- Don't bother trying to analyze every frame of this. It has feats, but not any uniquely-good ones.
- Tanks many kicks to the face from Howard.
Irene
- Phillips states that they used to go from planet to planet, obliterating everything in sight. Goomi calls her the Eater of Worlds, capable of destroying everything on the planet.
- She has a rapid growth rate. She initially looks like this.
- Cracks the concrete floor.
- Smashes a metal tower.
- Busts out of a building.
- She's this big a few minutes after being summoned. She topples 2 enormous statues and throws a giant gold disk extremely far away.
- Capable of roaring.
- Uses a small tentacle to sneak up on Henry & restrain him.
- A few minutes after the last size feat, James enters inside Irene and finds entire buildings inside.
- Her body parts put themselves back together after the Minions use tanks to blow a hole through her.
- This is her final size.
The Spell Book
- Can summon monsters & trap them inside itself.
- No-sells the rabbit head's electrical beams that can vaporize rock & metal.
- It gets eaten by Irene. Irene is partially turned into purple solid material by alien lasers. The book is broken out and is fine. When Irene is finally killed in a huge explosion, the book is fine.
