The Fall of The LEGO Movies

10 years ago, The LEGO Movie surprised pretty much everyone by being one of the best films of 2014 and proved to be a critically and financially successful franchise going forward. Today though, after a string of poor decisions and box office failures, the future of the franchise is looking rather bleak.

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

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.

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.

Hot Take: I enjoyed The LEGO Movie 2. It is Mike Mitchell's best film, but that doesn't mean I trust him to direct another film from a famous IP after what he did with Kung Fu Panda 4. Also, the one thing I love from the sequel more than the first is the villain. Lord Business is a decent threat, but the character kinda lacks depth and acts just as another control freak villain. Yes, we later find out the character is inspired by the boy's father, who doesn't want him to play with his legos, but other than a line, he mentions that nobody ever told him he was special, he's not as intresting as the main characters. Rex Dangervest is not only a funny and threatening villain, but we already know him. SPOILERS, if you never saw the film, Rex is a future version of Emmet, in which his timeline, nobody rescue him while trying to save his friends. Stuck inside a dryer for years while watching all his friends dancing and remembering all the times everyone called him out for not being tough, made him bitter and change his whole identity. Remember, Emmet was lonely even before becoming the special, he had no friends, no family, just him, and a pet plant. And after finally making new friends and saving the world, he believed his friends abandoned him because they didn't bother to search him, which is why he created a time machine to save his past self, to make him the tough person Lucy "would be proud of" and provoke ourmomageddon, so everyone will get trapped in the bin of storag, and get a taste of what was it like to unable to move in one place. He's one of the few villains I wouldn't mind if he had won, because he has the right to revenge, but that also allowed Lucy and everyone else to see their errors of their ways (Lucy trying to be a tough person and ignoring his past, the master builder's being tough for the sake of survive, and the gang and the systar system trying to make everything awesome and ignoring the cruelity truth that not everything is awesome) and change for the better.

​@@gandalflotr2898 I swear the only problem with lego movie two Is its next to kego movie one, keep them apart and kego movie 2 is suddenly the better one

[@KidMoe7735]

Lego movie 2 goes hard actually

[@dinomation]

It’s kinda a shame that these movies gradually got more disappointing overtime. as a fan of these movies while the future is somewhat bleak, I’m excited for what may be coming soon!

[@tjclark6928]

4:23 was literally watching jjk as this happened LMAO

[@gundamguy833]

The bizarre thing is that after the midjago movie, they released 3 of ninjago's best seasons back to back

[@Woodman3]

They should try and make the "Lego Joker Movie" Would be interesting to see him as a main character even if he is evil

[@isauldron4337]

With Warner Bros not having the movie rights...

I would love a second Lego Batman movie. Then I could collect the sets with figures I want with the nonexistent money I have.

[@HiveOfBees]

I actually really enjoyed the lego ninjago movie. I know that it didn't follow the lore of the original series, which is one of my favorite shows ever, but i think the original story it told was still pretty good. And i found most of the jokes and gags genuinely funny.

[@The_Scronkle]

Glad I'm not the only one who is so rotted by JJK that I thought of that opening too

[@TooningIn2008]

Literally the only thing I remember about Lego Movie 2 is that I had to be restrained to the seat during the “Catchy Song” sequence

[@protastudios]

Guys, we failed as a society and I didn't even know about it: not only was 'The Lego Movie' not nominated in 2014, that year, 'Frozen' won while running against Miyazaki's 'The Wind Rises' and 'Ernest and Celestine' 💀💀💀

[@TempoLOOKING]

Don't worry we all know where bad Matoran go . Those bums will be punished.

[@Kira-ji2ft]

The Wind Rises is a transcendental masterpiece.

I watched Unikitty when it was airing. It was pretty okay, actually funny sometimes. But very high energy and at times overwhelming the senses. Like a Cartoonshii video. Also Babymetal sang the opening, so thats cool.

[@BiggieCrescent]

"Play Yakuza, Goodbye." Is such a perfect outro istg 🔥💯

[@OrangeSheepPlayz]

Great video!

I hope they make more, loved them

[@gilsthyname256]

Tbh I think was the very early stages of if they don’t surprisingly outperform the old one in any meaningful way they would give little to no effort into the rest going forward. Not just Lego as a whole but the movie industry, Ngl after number 2 a lot of movies didn’t seem very appealing going forward

[@Venom3254]

They did Bionicle dirty in the first movie and the scraped rep in the second, karma bit hard.

[@JustBearly]

Honestly, I think The Lego Ninjago movie really had the problem of not feeling like a Ninjago movie, and moreso just a movie with Ninjago names in it. It just felt disappointing in the end. Which is sad, because it clearly had some pretty cool concepts in it, it was just executed awfully.

[@silashurd3597]

Happy 10 year anniversary to this movie!🏆

the first one was excellent. the second sucked ass. sorta.

If there was one thing LEGO i could recommend, it'd be LEGO Monkie Kid - perfect characters, perfect voice acting, banger music, animated by Flying Bark- it is /PEAK/!

Is nobody going to talk about the beginning 💀💀💀

[@alexandrudorries3307]

Oh yeah. My mom got me that Minecraft ender dragon set too, but I was just old enough to realize that maybe leaving it unopened and saving it for a couple of decades (fingers still crossed cuz college is pain) might be a decent “financial investment”. I would feel kinda clever about it, but “grown up me” now collects Warhammer minis so… I guess I haven’t quite grown up enough to escape the allure of building tiny plastic characters lol.

FURKY GETTING OUR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER WITH THIS ONE

[@DrAwe-fi6we]

We all know the real reason the Ninjago movie failed was because it didn't include The Weekend Whip. Seriously, it's one of the best theme songs for a show in my opinion.

[@hideout54]

Ninjago has gone through 3 soft reboots and we are at season 17

[@Flont40]

Even despite the Lego Movie focusing more on an actually powerful story and great characters instead of just being an advertisement, it was the movie that got me into my Lego phase. Meanwhile other movies that were clearly advertisements I watched as a kid did not get me to buy their product.

[@damienlarson4145]

I remember when I first discovered the Lego movie for the first time. It was in 2013, me and my brother were visiting my aunt's house, I was on her iPad or tablet (yes, I was one of those kids) and I just so happened to smable upon the trailer for it on KZbin. That's how I first heard about this movie.

[@lunarsh1ft]

10 years. 10 YEARS.

[@MrKite]

I wish they'd have made a Lego Space movie and focused on Benny and his crew of Spacemen (Lenny, Kenny, and Jenny). Traveling space, fighting Blacktron, and how the crew handles Benny and his unhinged energy for ships.
