No, that won't happen, universal can't do DC

I mean it's incrediblely unlikely but WB, DC and Universal could come to some sort of arrangement .

More likely than the Lego Zanner Toobin movie. Probably even more likely than the Lego Brum V Postman Pat's black and white cat movie.

*Sees name Geoff Johns*

Lego Green Lantern movie?!!!!

*Remembers that the Lego rights now belong to Universal not Warner Bros*

I still think while unlikely DC is a non-zero probability and since this is the DC thread I will say that the concept of a Lego green lantern movie is a pretty perfect fit considering their powerset. I could see the lantern ring creating bricks and they then piece them together to make all Thier constructs. Of course this whole Live action nonsense throws a spanner into that idea, as it kinda ruins the whole thing and I'm not sure they'd want 2 separate live action green lantern continuities confusing audiences ( then again that seems to be thier exact plan with Batman! But he's Batman)

@Ashnflash, we can't get a lego green lantern movie because Universal doesn't have the rights.

Thank god for the /s at the end. Danny Devito is CLEARLY Garmadon material.

Though to be honest, I wouldn't be opposed to Dafne Keen as Nya- it could be fun to see her having a more bubbly personality like early Nya after we got to see her be full bad*ss in deadpool and wolverine. Xolo- that's Beetle, right? could do well too, though I don't see him as Lloyd. Tom Holland could actually be a solid Jay, although I would like to nominate myself for the role.

Same as the over/under on whether the movie is good. I don't hate Aquafina- I liked her in Shang-Chi- but if she shows up in a movie, 9 times out of 10 it's a mark of death.

Thanks! Sadly, I don't have enough nougat parts, so I had to build him brown. Nevertheless, I think @Lego Nostalgia had a valid argument about my Clayface looking like a baby rancor. I decided to redesign it with a bulkier build and smaller hands:

Sadly, he's smaller than he should be, but I can't make him any larger. Better now?

Face needs some work and then it's perfect, maybe yellow eyes and 2 of those round studs with the handle in the middle

maybe round off the top of the head

Looks better than the last :)

The rancor comparison I can see, but also that’s because they’re both big brown humanoid creatures hunched over. Something as simple as changing the eyes to yellow studs could perhaps provide more of a distinction. 
 

I agree that it looks good. The shaping and proportions are nice, even though it’s changed it the two images. Honestly, I like them both, and if you used different pieces, you could just change him as he changes his shape, i.e. sometimes he has regular hands and other times, when fighting, he’s bigger and has a hammer hand. 
 

Also, thank you. I always like it when I’m inspired to build, and seeing your Clayface makes me want to make one of my own. I’m currently just using the old Rock Raiders rock monster as Clayface right now. 

Thanks for the appreciation and criticism! I like having feedback...

My thoughts exactly.

 

Live action could work for Ninjago. But I sincerely hope that they just mean something like the live-action segments of TLM with Will Ferrell and his character’s son. What’s the point of having the Lego license if you’re not going to use the very basis of why Lego’s a popular toy?!

The thing is I don't think they ever referred to the other films as live-action, the writers for Ninjago keep referring to it as Live action too, tbf that's one of the only ones that could work as live action. The one we have a plot synopsis for an older version of (The Missing Piece) is just the plot of the Playmobile movie (Real human brother and sister are growing apart, they go to a toy store and a transported into the LEGO world to learn to care for each other) and that synopsis kinda screams Minecraft movie doesn't it? Best case scenario these films (bar Ninjago) are all gonna be Playmobile movie/The Smurfs style affairs where either the first act is entirely liveactio, characters get sucked into the LEGO world and it's (hopefully) all LEGO, they learn their lesson then are sent back home or LEGO minifigures come alive/enter the real world through a portal and do a fish out of water movie.

Then the worst Case Scenario is thee are all like the Minecraft movie

Honestly, yeah. I think I've never been more embarrassed of a choice I've made than when I decided to see Kung Fu Panda 4 in cinemas

ALSO, what do we think the likelyhood of the Hagemans accidently writing a fourth Nonce (Nadakhan, Ronin, The Nature elemental master) into Ninjago

Tell that to ashnflash, he knows all, you didn't watch the video, a random youtuber said it flippantly so it must be true

[Lego Nostalgia]

Nah but seriously, who thought this was a good idea, stop motion/animation should be the only option, Lego Movie 1 was amazing, Lego Movie 2 was trash and I feel like it was made mainly for kids unlike the 1st one which both demographics could enjoy it (kids and adults) it's clearly because of the director change, the 2nd movie was directed by the people who made the Trolls movies, everything became bright and sparkly ;-;  1st one really felt like a love letter to all lego fans, 2nd one undid it all, The Lego Batman Movie was good, hate the design for Joker though, and The Lego Ninjago Movie was ok

I hope I'm not the only one who thought there was a big change from the 1st movie to the 2nd, it felt so different

You're definitely not, I've talked about this a lot before but it's fundamentally different in how it's written on every level bar the surface level.

Most key of all is the way it's written to be "meta" 

In the first film every line works on three levels

1: it's something the characters created if taken at face value would say

2: it's something a kid might say

3: it's something someone who's seen a lot of movies might say

In order of importance in TLM2 it's flipped. There'd never be a line where a character says "marvel isn't returning our calls" in the first as that's just a Deadpool meta joke and doesn't really make sense for a kid or the LEGO characters to say, it's lazier and thus less funny.

I remember coming out of the theatres and thinking about how half the jokes in this film is a character having an overly long exchange of "Look film trope is happening, I can't believe film trope is happening, good thing for film trope happening" Or "I'm glad everything is going very well, nothing will go wrong, everything is great and nothing will go wrong OH NO SOMETHING WENT WRONG"

Like every joke has that cadence, almost every single one overstays it's welcome when the first would hit you with joke after joke, after joke never really dwelling on one.

Of course it's also terrible with it's extended cast, way more aesthetically boring, Emmet feels kinda flanderised, it's twists don't really make sense when you think about them for five minutes, it generally just feels like it has less to say.AND it loses all of the first movie's bite, like I get they're kids films but the reason the first film holds up when you're an adult is that the adult jokes aren't just characters saying the names of adult film franchises most of them are actually social commentary which makes the film have something to sink your teeth into a bit. 

Also, this is less serious but I feel like these films feel cheaper when not only do they rarely ever show real minifigures and LEGO original themes.but also shove in pop culture characters who don't even have LEGO figures. The first film had a bunch of different random characters half of which WB didn't own and licenced character that were shown were all either a prick or pathetic, when they all had a joke, mostly at their expense, it's fun seeing other characters but when in TLM2 every character that shows up is owned by WB and half of them don't even have LEGO figures and their only is mostly "look, franchise you know" it winds up feeling more like a corporate IP showcase akin to Space Jam 2 or Wreck it Ralph 2.

TBF TLBM did that too, and that kinda annoyed me but it's a good enough film + most phantom zone villains actually get something funny to do so it's not a big deal

New skeleton crew trailer.

 

Spoiler

One notable aspect is that there’s a scene with a lone X-Wing is flying by. Which suggests an important main character is flying it since unnamed characters fly in groups of at least 2. Carson Teva or Luke Skywalker?

Again, he's not hurting anyone, and a pretty big chunk of the forum either is breaking account rules or was when they made their account (I'll say again, me included, I was a minor when I first made my account). If he's not doing anything egregious I don't think he should be forced offline.

The Turtle was removed by the mods because he said some extremely unkind things.  If these leniant and forgiving mods have removed him, it's for good reason.

[Agent Kallus]

I'd say unless new Turtle is proven to be actual Turtle or repeats his crimes then give him the benefit of the doubt? Greet the world with open arms?

That's probably the smartest way for mods to deal with it, though it's 100% him, no-one else would treat Luigi's Pizza as a viable set option, though perhaps I'm being more lenient than I should be here as I never actually saw the post that got him banned, maybe it's way worse than what I assume

Yeah, also a good point, I've seen people say stuff casually bigoted (though it was a few years back) and get away with it on here, I won't be mad if he's removed but I'm not calling for it either
