The Big Question: How Old Are Gru's Girls, Really?
Okay, let's get right to it! We're diving headfirst into the surprisingly complicated world of the Despicable Me timeline and trying to figure out how old Agnes, Edith, and Margo actually are.
Margo: The Teenager Trying to Adult
First up, we have Margo, the oldest sister. She's the responsible one, always looking out for her siblings. Think of her as the Hermione Granger of the group, but with a slightly better sense of fashion (sorry, Hermione!).
In the first movie, Margo seems to be around the 12-13 age range. She is starting to get the attention of boys! By Despicable Me 2, she is definitely crushing on someone and is navigating all the awkwardness of teen romance.
So, we can safely say Margo is probably around 15 or 16 in the second movie. Meaning, if we're keeping track, she would be around 17-18 in the third one. Pretty much ready for college!
Edith: The Mischief Maker
Now for Edith, the middle child and certified mayhem enthusiast. She's the Dennis the Menace of the Despicable Me universe, except with cooler hats.
Edith is a tough one to pin down. She definitely gives off a tomboy vibe and a slightly older kid vibe. It's safe to say that Edith is around 10 years old at the first movie.
That would make her around 12-13 by Despicable Me 2. By the time Despicable Me 3 rolls around, she's probably hitting those awkward pre-teen years, maybe around 14-15. Teenage angst incoming!
Agnes: The Unicorn Obsessed Cutie Pie
Last but definitely not least, we have Agnes! Agnes is the baby of the family and, let's be honest, the one who steals everyone's heart with her sheer adorableness. She loves unicorn!
In the original Despicable Me, Agnes is clearly the youngest. She still has that sweet innocence. She's probably around 5 or 6 years old at the start.
That means she's around 7 or 8 in the second movie. She is still an adorable, huggable tiny human. By Despicable Me 3, Agnes is probably hitting the double digits, around 9 or 10. And still unicorn-obsessed, naturally!
The Timey-Wimey Wibbly-Wobbly Stuff
Here's where things get a little tricky. Movie timelines aren't always consistent, and animated characters don't exactly age in real-time.
So, while we can make educated guesses based on their behavior and appearances, their exact ages are a bit of a mystery. It's all cartoon logic, folks!
Consider this as the Back to the Future paradox. It's better not to think about it too much. Just enjoy the movies!
The Final Verdict (Maybe?)
So, to recap, here's our best guess for the ages of Gru's girls in Despicable Me 3:
- Margo: Around 17-18
- Edith: Around 14-15
- Agnes: Around 9-10
But hey, it's just a theory! A movie theory! And ultimately, it doesn't really matter. What matters is that they're a loving, quirky family who always have each other's backs. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to find a unicorn.
