談及這部電影的構思過程，制片人John Cohen是這麽說的：
For a while, we’ve wanted to make a movie about a villain told from the villain’s perspective.之前大部分的animated film都是將好人（heroes）作為主角，而將壞人（villains）作為主角確實不多見，而這正是這部電影能夠出奇制勝，打動觀眾的重要因素，正如另壹位制片人Christopher Meledandri所說：
The idea of making an animated film in which the villain is your protagonist is unusual and very challenging. ..You would not have a sense of appreciation for the journey he's gone on as a character had we not started him at that point.Despicable me這個名字正是在強調：這部電影的主角（me）是壹個出乎大家意料的反面人物（despicable）。
另壹方面，片中Gru的配音Steve Carell接受采訪的時候說：
As crazy as Gru sounds and as diabolical and mean and awful as he is, there is humanity to him.It comes out in little bits, all the way through. It says a lot about how people can change, and how aspects of a person can come to the surface, given a different circumstance. People aren’t either good or evil; there’s always some good to evil and there’s always some evil within good. When you see someone who on the surface just seems despicable, and then they’re not, that’s interesting and fun to explore.
毫無疑問，作為主角的配音，Steve Carell將這部電影的內涵理解得很透徹，如果妳還記得電影中的那首插曲：
I'm having a bad bad day
its about time that I get my way
steam rolling whatever i see, huh
despicable me就會發現制作團隊給這部電影取這個名字很有意思的——觀眾（尤其是成長期青少年）看完之後將會思考片中Gru的轉變：我們每個人都有可能是Gru，在遭受打擊與挫折後生發出despicable的念頭——這不是壹個壞蛋受到感化重新做人的關於he or she的傳說，而是壹個普通人克服挫折弱點挖掘善念的關於me的故事。
當然，如果題主問題中說的是despicable me 2的話那就當我沒說~
