The Fall of The LEGO Movies

still so bummed the lego batman movie 2 got cancelled

"Boy, it sure is nice being in my new 2022 Chevy Silverado."

I feel like if The Lego Movie 2 was released 5 years after the original without any spin-off films (like Lego Batman or Lego Ninjago), then Lego 2‘s box office would’ve been just as successful as, if not more then the original.

It’s pretty sad that LEGO Ninjago movie is the start of the LEGO movies downfall.

wait the lego movies 10 years old how in the fucketh

From masterpieces like Clutch Powers, The Lego Movie and Lego Batman to………..nothing. I miss Lego movies

While I wouldn’t call it bad, I was surprised at how aggressively mediocre Lego Movie 2 was. By the end I was thinking "wtf was this movie". We just need to stop Mike Mitchell from writing shit

Really glad Spider-Verse didn’t suffer the same fate as the Lego movies. Where a bunch of miscellaneous spin-offs separated from the first film get pumped out at nausea before a true sequel comes out and thus public interest in the sequel dies down by the time it actually comes out.

I actually really like the Lego Ninjago show and when I heard about the fact that they were making a movie I was very excited but when I actually watched the movie I thought that it was a lot worse than the show.

My cousin built like a Lego figure

Lego Ninjago was pretty popular here in Finland during my childhood and I still hold the first couple of seasons very near and dear to me. Should probably rewatch them someday

The Lego Movie was the definition of "capturing lightning in a bottle". It's a movie that nobody was anticipating the level of success that it had both critically and financially. So you can feel the pressure from the filmmakers and the studio to catch up with the success but seemed to not understand what made the first movie so great in the first place. The Lego Batman Movie did it so well but unfortunately Lego Ninjago and The Lego Movie 2 kinda misunderstood it, that last two movies seemed like the movie that everybody feared that The Lego Movie would've been like if it was treated the wrong way and that's a shame as Lord and Miller were the writers of the The Lego Movie 2

Unikitty! is probably underrated. As somebody who became obsessed with it shortly after release, made OCs, wrote an alternate universe concept, and became THE head moderator in a fan community dedicated to that show for like 3 years... I guess you could say I've heard of it. I was a weird teen. Can't say I've changed much.

What sucks for me is that they were going to bring Bionicle back for these movies. Takanuva was going to be in The Lego Movie 2 as a counter for Rex since he is the Toa of Light. Emit's own shoulder angels. whenever Rex would try to get Emit to do something bad, Taka would convince him not to. but Taka was cut because he might have interfered with the plot too much. This really sucks because I still have a lot of love for Bionicle. I have my toys from when I was a kid on display on my shelves. but, hopefully we'll see the Toas again in the future someday.

From my memory Unikitty was like Uncle Grandpa/SpongeBob and had nothing to do with lego besides one character being a literal lego brick

Ninjago as a TV show is still going strong, sure it's had it's ups and downs over the years but it's still a good watch and dragons rising is especially good

If your curious on how ninjago is doing: Season 4: A tournament arc (very good) Season 5: ghosts themed (very good) Season 6: about pirates and wishes (kinda mixed) Season 7: about time travel (kinda sucks) Season 8-10: a trilogy about garmadon and the oni (FUCKING PERFECT, from here onwards the artstyle has also changed to the movie designs, trust me, the show’s version of the movie designs look WAY better than the actual movie) From seasons 11-16, the episodes are 11 minutes instead of 22 minutes Season 11: first half is fire themed, second half is ice themed (ice chapter is the better one, but the whole is kinda bad) Season 12: video game themed (alright) Season 13: about cole’s mom and a new kingdom (pretty good) Season 14: about a mysterious island(alright, but it’s only 4 episodes) Season 15: about the sea (Really good) Season 16: the finale and brings back some villains (alright) Dragons rising: a new series/reboot that’s about all the realms merging together into one (AMAZING, also the longest season with 20 episodes 22 minutes each) As for unikitty, as someone who’s watched all of it (i had nothing else to do) it’s alright

Anyone disappointed that some of the side characters from the first Lego Movie didn’t do anything in the second movie outside of making a quick cameo? I sure did when I first watched it in the cinema..

I still have The Lego Movie, Lego Batman, and the Clutch powers movie on dvd. The Lego Movie was without a doubt one of my favorite movies of all time, and the second one was... ok at best. Not bad, but can't hold a candle to the first. After watching this video I feel old.

I could not have agreed more when it came to the ninjago film. Sometimes I forget it even existed due to the writing of the film and the characters that honestly disappointed me when I was actually excited for the film and just pretened that it was never made. At the same time tho, I get that it did and wanted to bring in new viewers to the fandom, I do also feel that shouldnt have been as an insult to the those who were fans of the fan base before the movie. The very few things that I liked (and were even somewhat similar to the show), was that not everything was lego, which I loved about the show. It felt new and different that was almost like a breath of fresh air when it came to lego animated shows. But thats just me.
