Para a primeira pergunta:
No filme, podemos ver que todos os minions são sindicalizados. Mel é o novo líder dos Minions e, sob sua liderança, pela primeira vez, os Minions estão formando um sindicato.
A primeira aparição de Mel é neste terceiro filme de Meu Malvado Favorito, e pelo que vemos podemos dizer que ele é uma parte malvada e ele vai contra o conceito de trabalho forçado.
Referência a aqui :
Minions are getting bored of their boss, Gru. With Gru becoming more of a hero than a villain. The minions will no longer go in search of a boss, as they have found one among themselves. The Despicable Me franchise introduces a new minion leader, Mel in this sequel.
Unlike Bob, Stuart and Kevin, who hang out with Gru and help him with his evil plans, Mel will stand on his own.
According to the franchise, Mel goes against the concept of forced labour. This sequel will project him as a revolutionary leader of the “Union of Minion” He will lead the minions, and show them that they have the evil DNA within themselves.
Para sua segunda pergunta:
Minion Mel was inspired by Illumination head Chris Meledandri.
(Meledandri produced Despicable Me 3 with Janet Healy.)
O criador e designer de Minions Eric Guillon diz:
I designed a birthday card for Chris Meledandri a few years ago, I drew Chris as a Minion, and I used the same design and haircut for Mel that I used on the birthday card.
