Everything GREAT About The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part!

In case you don't make it to the end, that movie from the teaser frame last week is coming next week. Had to move the schedule around a little. Thanks!

”DON’T TOUCH ME WHEN I’M S P A C E S H I P P I N G.” -Benny, 2019

It’s funny how they say: “I eat lazers!” And “You missed!” Because that is totally what a little kid would say in a game when they are supposed to be destroyed. It’s like Roblox roleplayers. Someone: shoots Roleplayer: dodges

LEGO Movie 1: Kid bonding with his Father LEGO Movie 2: Kid bonding with his Sister

My mom laughed so hard at the stepping on legos compared to childbirth scene and my favorite joke was the running gag of Lego-Bruce Willis randomly showing up and insisting he doesn’t live in air-vents. Sure, Bruce, sure. XD

"Why do we sound so different?" "Why do we sound so different?" pikachu surprised face

''I had theater tickets tonight'' is a pretty gruesome reference

“I liked you the way you were!” “The real Lucy would never say that.” Can we talk about this? It’s so deep!

General mayhem crying out for help while dangling off the ledge is genuinely phenomenal voice acting. She sounds like she is actually desperate for help and is scared that she’s going to fall off. Absolutely heart wrenching.

Rex:This is all happening inside the imagination of an adolescent. Me:Their becoming self aware. We gotta get rid of all our Legos before they take over the World.

9:50 "There are so many more spaceships on this adventure! And yet, not nearly enough..." -Benny, The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part

Are we not gonna talk about how Rex’s ship is literally a brofist?

I feel ashamed that it took me so long to realize that the main/focus character depended on who was "in control" so to speak.

This movie has probably one of the saddest villain stories in any animated film. The beloved protagonist, left to rot for years in a dark and isolated area, with nothing but his negative thoughts, watching as the people he loved so dearly be celebrating, unawares of his desperate cries for help. He goes completely mad from a combination of feelings of betrayal and the scathing words from the people who he was once willing to die for. Then, in the end, he doesn't get a chance of redemption. He's the only Lego Movie villain to not survive, frankly, the one who deserved to live the most out of all of them.

The one thing I really loved was how straight it played everything, how it almost seemed to rely on audience expectations to tell its story and make its point. The whole "Gang assumes the sister's characters are evil, because they must be, because they're openly denying that they are, and there must be conflict and bad guys, because movies." is also totally in line with my (and probably many others') thinking; that they were making a joke using an obviously evil person who didn't realize that their incredibly over-the-top, trope-acknowledging denial just made their evil that much more obvious. But it's actually the truth, and of course it is in the larger context. There's never any malice in what Bianca's doing; she just wants to play with her older brother.

“Everything Great about The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part” Lmao I wonder if anyone went looking for “Everything Great about The LEGO Movie 2: The First Part”

11:11 That was a REALLY dark joke, that Lincoln just made.

I've watched this movie four times this week. One of those slow burn, this movie gets better with each subsequent rewatch films for me. One thing I like is how Bruce Willis just exists in Bianca's world, as if she watched Die Hard once and couldn't understand any of it, so she just thinks he's a weird homeless guy who lives in air vents. I love it.

7:11 Ok I need to talk about the whole master breaker concept. From the movie, we see that when Emmet did his first master break, everyone was stunned into silence and it’s not just because sweet and kind Emmet did something mature but rather what Emmet did. Benny has done something similar in the first movie whenever he can’t build his spaceships but he’s not a Master Breaker like Rex. When Benny destroys his builds, it’s always incomplete and thus can be easily taken apart but when Rex does it, he’s destroying completed builds. In all the build scenes throughout both movies, Master Builders would build with whatever they can find and although they do destroy things, they reuse those blocks they took to create something new. No block gets discarded and a new build is created thanks to the Master Builder’s creativity. In destruction scenes like Cloud Cuckoo Land, the the place is being destroyed by Lord Business’s spaceships so it would be normal for them to break in the world of Lego and also in the context of story. And when Wildstyle broke the armour when sneaking in, well it was armour so it could work differently and once again, it’s in the context of the story (not very sure on this so take it with a grain of salt). Master Breakers on the other hand are purely destructive and can be caused by a single person. They’re the other side of the building spectrum that represents anger, dissatisfaction with the builds and frustration and when mastered well, you don’t even have to be angry to do it, all it takes is one tap for a build to fall apart. In the real world, this is just destroying a build but put it in the context of the world of Lego and there’s a different side to the story. Imagine being a Master Builder and seeing Emmet, the nice man who wouldn’t hurt anyone but needs to grow up, the special one, did his master break, a new move you have never seen before in your entire life. You take things apart yes but you always rebuild them again and store leftover bricks for later builds, yet this new power you saw before you is terrifyingly destructive. You imagine what would happen if you upset Emmet, would he destroy your builds too? All those builds you work so hard on, that you pour your life and soul into, all of it can be reduced to bricks in a matter of seconds with one punch. That’s worse than not being offered the freedom to build, it can be heartbreaking to see all your creations go to waste. Yeah you can rebuild but it might happen again, and again until eventually you give up and you no longer have fun in building. You can’t handle it being destroyed again. And Emmet has that power, who’s to say anyone else can’t do it too? What will happen to your and everyone else’s builds? That’s how scary being a master breaker is to a master builder. It has its use yes but at the same time, it can be used for evil just like when Emmet destroyed the cake.

I love it when movies have siblings who end up getting along in the end! I can relate to that, As a younger sibling my older brother hated me throughout his middle school and the first year of high school- but this was because his school environment sucked and he took out his stress on me (by accident) but when he switched to a better school and started maturing, he’s become one of the best brothers anyone could have Basically what I’m getting at is: Sometimes you/they just gotta get older and hopefully in a better place, and if all goes well the years of arguing and bickering will be healed relatively quickly! Also compromise, try to find a different outlet for stress then your younger sibling, and don’t lose/break your older siblings stuff....
