Lego Movie 2

Regarding the Lego world, what actually happened was that the family issues of the people playing with the sets were reflected within them. In the first movie, the reason glue was portrayed as something terrible was that the father of the boy playing with the Legos wanted to keep the sets as mere display models rather than the toys they truly are; he eventually made peace with his son upon realizing that childhood is far more important than appearances. In the sequel—set five years later—the boy, now a teenager, projects his tastes and thoughts about "growing up" onto Apocalypseburg; the conflict actually mirrors a fight between siblings, with his younger sister representing the cute and adorable side. Yet, the Legos themselves were completely unaware of this and viewed the humans as practically gods.

The Queen is a collection of yellow, purple, magenta, pink, and orange blocks. She is incredibly cheerful, festive, kind, and generous. Her ability is to shapeshift into whatever form she desires (her name is literally "Queen What-Evar-Wa'Na-Be"). Technically, she is Emmet's daughter, having been created five years earlier as a heart for the inhabitants of the Systar System before being transformed into a queen. To end the war, she won Batman over and married him. After Armamageddon, she gets married and finally meets Emmet.

When on duty, General Mayhem (or simply Mayhem) is straightforward, firm, and stern; however, without her helmet, she is just as sweet and adorable as all the other inhabitants of the Systar System. She was the one who essentially abducted Lucy and her friends, unwittingly triggering the entire Rex conflict. Later, she befriended Lucy—once Lucy realized the plan was genuinely well-intentioned—and helped save Emmet, even though she didn't actually meet him until after the victory.

They are Emmet and Lucy's friends—and Rex's former friends. MetalBeard is a stereotypical pirate, yet he has a good heart; his head is the only organic part of him, as the rest of his body is made of wood or metal. Benny is an astronaut; like Emmet, he is very cheerful, but he is much more nervous, expressive, and unstable. He loves spaceships—and loves building them most of all. Unikitty is an adorable unicorn-kitten, though she turns into a demon when she gets angry; she loves all her friends. Batman is... Batman.

Rex is an older version of Emmet—essentially the person Lucy wanted Emmet to be during the Apocalypseburg era. He is tough, somewhat vain, and embodies the archetype of the cool, rugged older brother; he is Emmet from the future. His backstory mirrors that of the original Emmet up until the moment he set out in his spaceship to rescue Lucy and his friends; however, when no one could save him from the asteroid field, he became trapped beneath the washing machine in the real world. While waiting in vain for his friends to come for him, he watched from beneath the machine as humans played with the other characters while he remained forgotten. Consequently, he adopted a tougher, action-oriented persona and built a massive spaceship—complete with a crew of velociraptors—to exact revenge, traveling back in time to the moment Emmet was in the asteroid field to convince him to transform into Rex. When he triggers "Armamageddon," Emmet confronts him, but Rex attempts to send him beneath the washing machine to turn him into a version of himself. Emmet refuses to give in, and a fight ensues; ultimately, Lucy returns for Emmet, and since Emmet is successfully rescued, Rex apologizes and departs from that timeline.

Lucy is strong, quick-thinking, skilled in martial arts, and tough, yet also kind, friendly, and intelligent. She had planned to be the "Special" herself, but upon meeting Emmet, she decided to help and accompany him to stop the Man Upstairs. In the second movie, she is the only one who treats Emmet with kindness, though she also urges him to be tough and "mature." After being abducted alongside Benny, MetalBeard, and Unikity, she meets Mayhem and the Queen; initially, she views them as villains, but during Rex and Emmet's escape attempt, she confronts Mayhem and discovers that they had been telling the truth all along—the Systar System simply wanted to make peace with Apocalypseburg through the wedding of Batman and the Queen. Lucy tries to stop Emmet and Rex, but—swayed by Rex's influence and her own past words—Emmet ignores her and proceeds with "Armamageddon"; she sings for the first time since leaving the band that created "Everything Is Awesome," rallying everyone to fight against Rex's velociraptors. Lucy reunites with Emmet, and they emerge victorious.

Emmet is the main protagonist of the two Lego movies. He is very kind, optimistic, and cheerful—sometimes even innocent—and his creations always reflect the joy and lovableness of his heart. In the first movie, he followed everything his city prescribed to the letter—the routine, the work, being polite, and so on—until he stumbled upon a glue cap from the human world and embarked on a super-epic adventure to stop the city's leader from gluing everything down. Along the way, he met characters like Wildstyle (or Lucy), Benny, MetalBeard, and Unikitty; his initial struggle was that he was so ordinary that no one cared about him, but after meeting his friends and gaining the ability to be a Master Builder, he discovered his true self. However, in the second scenario—after the entire Systar System went to "war" with Bricksburg, turning it into a Mad Max-style wasteland where "growing up" meant being tough, violent, or tragic—Emmet remained kind and fun-loving, causing him to be viewed once again as an outsider. When he set out on what he thought was a mission to rescue his friends from the Systar System, he nearly fell victim to a meteor shower; Rex appeared and saved him. As they traveled through the galaxy, Rex convinced him that if he wanted to be tough enough to help Lucy, he had to start destroying things. Emmet gradually came to believe Rex and even went so far as to ruin the wedding of Batman and Queen Watevra Wa'Nabi (who is technically Emmet's daughter, as he created her when he tried to make peace with the Systar System five years earlier). However, after Rex revealed his true intentions and the fact that he was actually Emmet from the future, Emmet had a change of heart and confronted Rex. He emerged victorious, finally making peace with the Systar System and establishing a much kinder, more understanding friendship with Lucy.
