History Heartwarming / DespicableMe2

* Along with being a SugarWiki/{{Funny Moment|s}}, but the way Gru goes OverprotectiveDad on Margo because of her interest in boys is adorable. One, it shows again his CharacterDevelopment from the original movie and reminds all parents how hard it is to see your kids grow up.

** Imagine a relationship between Agnes and [[Bob WesternAnimation/{{Minions}}]]

** FridgeBrilliance: It's hard to notice but Lucy's wedding dress has two ruffle patterns. Now look at Agnes' dress... it has two ruffle patterns as well. In other words, Agnes was matching up with her mother.

** The latter becomes a FunnyAneurysmMoment after Antonio breaks Margo's heart by dancing with another girl.

* The entire scene of Gru and Lucy's wedding.

** [[http://www.minions.fr/Panel1/minions/Ressources/moi-moche-mechant-2-animation-gad-elmaleh.jpg Look at the entire room!]] It looks a lot better than it was in the first movie.

-->Lucy: Oh, and uh, just between you and me, you look much better bald.

** The latter becomes a FunnyAneurysmMoment after [[spoiler:Antonio breaks Margo's heart by dancing with another girl]].
* After seeing Margo [[spoiler:heartbroken]] because of finding out that Antonio is a [[spoiler:KidAnova]], Gru freezes him on the spot. It's also funny and it would remind one of a parent comforting you when you get your heart broken. Gru just did what ''any'' father would do in his position ('''Note''': Yes, Gru's "position" always includes "...and I have a FreezeRay").
* Dr. Nefario's reason for [[spoiler: saving Gru from the mutant minions.]]
-->'''Dr. Nefario:''' [[spoiler: I mean, I'm happy to create an evil army and destroy the world. But ''nobody'' messes with [[TrueCompanions my family]].]]

* There's something really sweet about this exchange between Gru and Lucy as [[spoiler: they're preparing to jump off the rocket and into the ocean.]]
-->'''Gru:''' [[spoiler:Listen, Lucy, we may not get out of this alive. So, I need to ask you a question.]]
-->'''Lucy:''' [[spoiler:Uh, better make it quick!]]
-->'''Gru:''' [[spoiler:If I asked you out on a date, what would you have said?]]
-->'''Lucy:''' [[spoiler:*laughs and smiles* Are you kidding me?! ''Yes!'']]
** Followed by [[spoiler:her [[TheGlomp tackle-hugging him when they land in the water,]] both of them laughing in just the ''most joyful'' tone.]]
*** [[spoiler:Even more heartwarming? After Lucy tackle-hugs Gru, she immediately gives him his space, probably remembering the cupcake incident and its aftermaths. But without one word, Gru firmly grabs her hand and pulls her back into his personal space. In the most romantic gesture imaginable, Gru silently tells Lucy he wants her to never leave his side again. These two are the cutest.]]

* [[spoiler: In the chase following their failed attempt to infiltrate El Macho's lair, the two good minions lose their footing and fall on the steps, and within an instant Gru picks them up and carries them the rest of the way. Even when surrounded by the purple minions on the roof, Gru's first priority is getting his two accomplices up the flagpole to keep them as far from harm's way as he can]].

* [[spoiler:After Dr. Nefario saves the girls from a mutated!Kevin, all the girls look relieved and happy to see him. Agnes even said his name to express their happiness of seeing him back to normal. Now remember that there are thousands of minions who might resemble Kevin and the girls might have forgotten his name or mistook him for another minion. But they didn't because in the year that they've been with the minion, they actually get his name right. It's a subtle way of showing that like their father, the girls have possibly learned all the names of the minions!]]

** Gru repays their concern [[spoiler: when the 3 of them are being chased by the evil minions, Gru at points picks them up and carries them and when they can't go any further, he pushes them up the flagpole while he stays below.]]

* [[spoiler:When the rocket reaches inside the volcano, you can briefly see Gru with his arms around Lucy while their falling to the sea; one holding her hand and the other around her shoulders. He's doing what he wanted to do, but couldn't when Lucy was reassigned to Australia: Keep her close to him.]]

* Lucy's reaction after the SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome that was [[spoiler:Gru using the lipstick taser she had given him to take down El Macho]].

* Another small one, but just the way Gru delivers this line to Lucy: [[spoiler:"Don't worry. I will get you out of this."]]

* Right before [[spoiler:Lucy kisses Gru on the cheek:]]
-->[[spoiler:Lucy]]: Oh, and uh, just between you and me, you look much better bald.
** For the record, [[spoiler: Gru's smile is absolutely ''adorable!!'']]

* [[spoiler:While he may be heartbroken at learning of her transfer to Australia]], Gru still acts supportive and happy for Lucy instead of getting angry at her.
* The entire scene of [[spoiler:Gru and Lucy's wedding.]]
** Some of the guests at [[spoiler:Gru and Lucy's wedding:]]
*** [[spoiler:[[GoodIsNotNice Silas]]. It's clear that they probably don't like him (Gru especially) but maybe it implies that during the TimeSkip the couple grew closer to Silas.]]
*** [[spoiler:They also invited [[JerkJock Shannon]] to the wedding as well, probably to show that they have no ill will towards her.]]
*** [[spoiler:Remember [[NiceGuy Fred]]? He's Gru's neighbor from the first movie and it was quite obvious that Gru disliked him. So to see that Gru invited Fred to his and Lucy's wedding is a clear indicator that they became friends sometime between the first and second movie.]]
*** And Jillian. [[spoiler:The fact that Gru invited her to his wedding despite finding her extremely annoying in the beginning was a sweet gesture.]]
** When Agnes has some trouble [[spoiler:saying her toast at Gru and Lucy's wedding, Margo does the "tapping on the glass" act to help out.]]
** The minions cheering when they see [[spoiler:Grucy kissing at their wedding]]. One minion is so moved by this scene that he looks like he's about to cry in happiness.
** Agnes finally being able to recite her poem [[spoiler: at Gru and Lucy's wedding, and adding "And my new mom Lucy is beyond compare." Then she tackles her with a hug.]]
*** [[spoiler: And Gru realizing what Agnes is trying to say, smiles, and encouragingly tells her in the most gentlest voice: "Okay." Father of the Year goes to Mr. Felonious Gru.]]
*** [[spoiler:The look on Lucy's face when Agnes recites the poem is just perfect. She looks like she's about to cry. And her little "AWW!" at Agnes' poem is just so sweet!]]
*** [[spoiler:Two seconds later Margo and Edith join in with Agnes. The latter gets picked up by her father and the former hugs her mother's legs, while her mother hugs her with one arm (the other arm still supporting Agnes). This family is just precious!!!]]
*** [[spoiler:[[http://cassiahui.tumblr.com/post/64766638615/their-hands-with-wedding-ring-grucy-3 Shots of]] Lucy's reaction to Agnes' speech and Grucy sharing some margaritas.]]
** Gru and Lucy [[spoiler:kissing at their wedding. They bump noses the first few attempts before Lucy plants one on him.]]
** FridgeBrilliance: [[spoiler:It's hard to notice but Lucy's wedding dress has two ruffle patterns. Now look at Agnes' dress... it has two ruffle patterns as well. In other words, Agnes was matching up with her mother.]]
*** More FridgeBrilliance: The novelization for the first movie confirms that the girls aren't related by birth. They just spent enough time with another to consider each other sisters. Then comes along Gru adopting them, and [[spoiler:marrying Lucy. The five are a happy family, and none of them were related by blood.]]
** [[spoiler:Agnes telling everybody "I'd like to make some toast" is simply ''adorable''.]]
*** Also this one: [[spoiler:"To the bride and Gru!"]]
** At the ending, [[spoiler:during Gru and Lucy's wedding, Silas (Lucy's boss) can be seen in the background with Natalie. Don't remember? She's Jillian' s friends that she tried to hook up with Gru at Agnes' birthday, earlier in the film. Then, both Silas and Natalie are dancing when the Minions sing their version of "YMCA". And their both having a great time together! We can see Silas with a real smile on his face and he's not being smug; Natalie is with a guy she really likes. For some reason, seeing those two together is just so sweet and adorable.]]

* The girls coming to visit Gru at work. Then, after Lucy causes an awkward moment ("Are you single?"), the girls are given some money and are "encouraged" to visit the mall by their father. The girls say goodbye and leave, but then run back and give their dad a tackle hug and tell him good luck on saving the world. Just another way of showing how much these girls adore their father!
