10 More Movie Endings With Disturbing Implications You Totally Missed
6. Immeasurable Damage To The Planet - Despicable Me
At the beginning of Despicable Me, when Vector stole the Pyramids of Giza, it rendered Gru's efforts to steal the Times Square jumbo-tron and the Las Vegas Eiffel Tower redundant. He had been challenged as a villain, and decided that he would get back to the top of the game by stealing the Moon.
After acquiring the shrink ray, and battling with his conscience with regards to his new daughters, he shrunk the Moon down. Ultimately, it expanded back to its normal size and was returned to its rightful place, but not before the damage would have been done.
The sequels ignored the consequences of Gru's actions, as these are fun movies aimed at kids, but there is no denying the villain would have killed countless people. Without the Moon's gravitational pull, the Earth's axis would fall completely off-kilter, meaning some parts of the world would never see the sun, while others would suffer for months without a sunset.
According to astronomy.com, these effects wouldn't necessarily take place immediately, which just means that Gru has condemned untold future generations to death.
