The Minions - The Pair Who Changed Men's Doubles FORVER (terjemahan Bahasa Indonesia)

Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo and Marcus Fernaldi Gideon, affectionately known as "The Minions", were an Indonesian men's doubles pair who burst onto the scene in 2015, making an immediate splash, and then went on to not just dominate the men's doubles landscape winning many, many titles, but they also changed how it was played...likely forever!
With Marcus Fernaldi Gideon announcing his retirement on his 33rd birthday it drew a line under any possibility of a Minions return. Surely a sad day for their fans and Indonesian badminton.
Because of this I just had to make a video all about their career.
In this video I lay out their entire career, from how they became a pair in the first place, to how they dominated, what was it they changed in men's doubles forever, and maybe most pressing of all, how they got the Minions nickname.
A huge thank you goes out to my wife as well, as she was the one who helped me with creating the Indonesian subtitles. I hope all my Indonesian fans appreciate this extra little touch.
If you do then please like, share and comment, letting my wife know her hard work is appreciated.
Thumbnail credit goes to @xi40tong (IG) - another banger from him.
Enjoy the video everyone.

    I really hope everyone enjoys this video on this electrifying pair, a pair who won a lot and changed men's doubles. And I hope all my Indonesian subscribers and viewers of this video appreciate the subtitles. They were only possible with the help of my amazing wife so if you have the time, and want to, then please like the video and show your appreciation for her in the comments below. I am, however, aware that those who rely on the subtitles may not understand what I'm writing here in this comment so I'll leave it here and just hope you enjoy the video 🙌🏻 Ben

    I'm from the Philippines and badminton is slowly emerging as a popular sport in my country. The minions to us was a legend...I also had a hard time accepting the bitter truth about the sad ending of their story...But when you said that the brightest star has the shortest life, I realized the fact the their feat although had a sad ending, was also a story of triumph, glory and victory, all of which are life's components...I am now at peace and able to accept that great story of the minions. sad as it may seem in the end,, but was also inspiring and has lots of things to teach us....Mabuhay our Minions !!!

    Sometimes we have to understand that not all stories end well. There is no Kevin without Marcus and Vice Versa. GillClark said "Sukamuljo doesn't need racket, he just need Gideon". To me, one without the other will not reach this amazing achievement. Yeah, that's sad ending but whatever happens to the minions, I feel lucky to have seen their era of dominance. their fast-playing style evolved men’s doubles game to a new level. Despite losing some tournaments, they were also champions more often than not and made us proud. Longest #1 World Ranking in Mens Double History, Most title in a year, etc. That's Amazing! Happy Retirement, Sinyo! Thank You Kevin and Marcus! Thank you, Ben, for making this video. Subs Done! 😄

Indonesia men's doubles successes rely on faster style compare to others. And the minions in 2016-2019 were simply the fastest pair of humans on the badminton court. Monsters.

    Every pairs have their own time to sparks, but minnios time is the longest, their performances on the tournaments were very entertaining and enjoyable to watch. For me, despite their lost to endo yuta in final all england 2020, it was their best performance so far. If they can play soon after that tournament the fire was still there. But as you mentioned inthe video there were several factors affects them, and it just time their time yet. Despite off all of the rumour spread... Minnios as a pair will always be a gift to badminton world for making the badminton something enjoyable to watch, and gives legacy not only to MD but also for badminton world in overall...thank you minnions 🎉🎉🎉

    They did rise very quickly to badminton stardom. I remembered the era when I watched them and I kind of had that feeling of no anxious of the result. I mean, they would just clinched the trophy. But, in the end, the spark was just not there. In doubles discipline, sometimes you have to deal with the fact that your partner shows a subpar performance, and what you will do in that kind of situation. It's like you win together and you lose together thingy. Gideon was the type of hard working person, Kevin was blessed with a special talent, more like a gifted rare breed player. The combination worked out very well. Honestly I doubt anyone could've replaced Gideon as Kevin new partner and vice versa. The chemistry was there. The chemistry they wouldn't have gotten if paired with another. But when the chemistry had been gone, the end was clearly in sight.

    amazing video! was lovely to revisit some of the 2017-19 dominant minions era again. also interesting how indonesia has gone from the most dominant mens doubles country to struggling to having 2 pairs for the olympics this year. i guess the retirement of gideon (minions) and age catching up to the daddies, the quality of training is just not there anymore (?) definitely interesting times as we build up to the olympics

    For only 10 years? I guess no men's double will be able to break Minion's records. Mention it 1 by 1: 8 World Tour titles in a year; 29 Super Series and World Tour titles (19 World Tour titles); 4 consecutive wins at the same tournament; Number 1 MD world ranking for 227 weeks. Maybe 30 years later some MD will break one of Minion's records, 50 years to break half, and 100 years to break all of them. Anyway thank you for the documentary video. I know you have spent your time doing research and editing. I really appreciate it 😁

I believe you will be the reason that badminton will finally become more popular in the west, just like what Drive to Survive did to Formula1. Cheers from Indonesia and Germany

    The "cocky" persona is actually one of the smartest stance that they took during the match/ tournament. It's 110% psy-war towards the opponent. In daily life here in Indonesia they're pretty humble, inside-out.

I am sure the amount of research you did for this beautiful video must be massive. It requires immense dedication to produce such splendid quality of presentation like this one. Thanks a lot, Ben. I hope you keep making tribute like this for the upcoming-retire legendary shuttlers. This way, we will remember for long and long that in a particular era, there were players as legendary as them that don't deserve to be forgotten quickly.
