TLM fandom I have NOT interacted with yall for a while but can I tell you something that I think is AWESOME!!!!!!
so in the TLM1 video game, there us a bonus room which is supposed to be Finn's room! And if you look on his little board on his wall, you can see he has lots of DRAWINGS!!!! they are super detailed and cool aswell...I sadly (😢) cannot harvest any photos BUT I can show you a drawing made.......bon appetite :]
I'm literally just making this post because I love Lego Dick Grayson and I had to prove nothing bad happened to him
Okay now that that's out of the way, let's talk The Apocalypse.
I recently posted some concept art that had some rather dark implications. Of course, this was gonna lead to some theories and speculation. @strawberri-doggo and my friend @lilacs-stash pointed out that this could mean that the reason the Batfam from The Lego Batman Movie were not in the Lego Movie 2 was because they died during the Apocalypse. Because I refuse to let anything bad happen to them, allow me to propose a theory of my own!
Gotham is in a separate location in The Man Upstairs's house/basement that was not included in the 5-year Apocalypse between the first and second Lego Movies
Allow me to explain.
Evidence 1, which is actually a refute of evidence that could prove me wrong: So we see Harley Quinn twice in the Lego movies. We got our girlboss from the Lego Batman Movie and we got the DCCU Harley in The Lego Movie 2. This could be used to argue that Harley is one of the sole Gotham survivors alongside Batman and Alfred.
However, I firmly believe that these are two different Harley Quinns. It's already been confirmed that the Upstairs family (yes I'm treating "Upstairs" like it's their last name) own duplicates of characters:
So, considering the fact that the two Harleys look different, are from different properties, have different personalities, and are voiced by different people, it's not out of the question to believe that they're completely different Harleys.
Evidence 2: The Finn-pocalypse
So, the reason the 5-year Apocalypse happens is because Finn wants to make his own builds that are cooler and grittier than the things his dad made. One thing that often gets overlooked (by myself as well until I started researching this) is that Finn straight up nuked EVERYTHING that his dad made.
This is a pretty good look at the downstairs table in the first Lego movie.
And here's that same table in the second movie
It's all GONE.
Where did it all go??
Well, I believe that, in order to create the bada$$ apocalypse world Finn pictured in his head, he just mashed everything together.
Using the map Lord Business used in the first Lego movie and the screenshot of Finn with the storage bin, we can kind of see where we are in the basement. On the back wall we can see a space diorama of sorts. This *could* be Cape Space on the map below.
And as we know, Apocalypseburg was mainly based on Bricksburg (I don't know if the Bricksburg ruins in the movie are literal or not so I'm not gonna think about them too much), so the circled Bricksburg section is likely the table that became Apocalypseburg's setting. Everything around it sounds rife for creating an edgy desert wasteland. Pharaoh's Quest has plenty of sand and desert colored blocks, Middle Zealand has stone buildings and armor that can be repurposed, and the Old West is, yep, more desert pieces.
So anything that was in the area around Bricksburg, Finn nuked and conglomerated into his Apocalypseburg design. However, as the classic space on the back wall appears to be untouched, it's likely Finn saw no need to mess with any properties that weren't in the space he wanted to work with.
In the first movie, Finn's dad is startled that Batman is among the Fellowship of Strangers.
The Man Upstairs: What am I holding here?
Finn: It's a battleship.
The Man Upstairs: No, it's a hodgepodge that's what it is. What's Batman doing on it?
I believe that this line implies that Gotham, which is not pictured on Business's map (although there are a few unlabeled areas, I feel like Gotham would rival Bricksburg's size and would be acknowledged) is far enough away from Bricksburg that The Man Upstairs doesn't understand why he'd be in the city.
I think that Gotham was not added to the Apocalypseburg conglomerate, as it didn't take up space that Finn wanted to use for Apocalypseburg and it didn't have pieces he needed. The only reason Finn grabbed Batman from Gotham for The Lego Movie 2's game plotline is simply because Batman was important to the plot he made when he was a kid that he now wants to wrap up. He grabbed Alfred as well because, let's admit it, apocalypse Alfred is a funny concept. And the way Finn plays him, Batman needs someone to order around!
So, Gotham is just fine guys. Dick is waiting for his dad to come back from visiting his old stomping grounds with his guardian Barbara Gordon, and the Joker makes sure to send Batsy plenty of hate mail. They're okay.
Some tlm headcannons because i was inspired by some other posts (some of them are rather lgbt+ or angsty because YES)
1. Emmet still has nightmares about what he did to the Systar system. He's afraid that he might eventually snap and become just like Rex; Betrayed, vengeful and genocidal. (He nearly killed everyone in the entire galaxy after all)
2. At the same time however, Emmet still misses Rex terribly. It felt good to have someone like him around, despite what his true personality and motives were. Emmet still wishes he could have found a way to save Rex, and help his alternate self redeem himself.
3. Emmet and Lucy occasionally binge-watch movies and shows on the double-decker couch at night together, mostly really bad ones that they love to laugh at. Occasionally they fall asleep mid-binge, so Unikitty gently props them on her back and takes them to their room to place them in their bed.
4. Unikitty is a loud and proud lesbian that doesn't care at all what bigoted people think about her.
5. Meanwhile Sweet Mayhem is a closeted lesbian. She isn't too sure how to tell anyone yet, as she fears she might get rejected by the people that are close to her.
6. Back in his youth, President Business had a fiance, but she dumped him because he became too hungry for power.
7. Unikitty forgave Bad Cop for destroying her home, acknowledging that he was simply a puppet being manipulated by his boss. She still hasn't forgiven Business, though.
8. Bruce introduced Robin to Watevera, to which both immediately grew attached to one another, becoming a makeshift mother-son duo
9. Sweet Mayhem and Benny are best friends and love to stargaze together.
10. Lucy is a male-leaning Bisexual.
11. Balthazar is a gay, transgender man.
12. Lucy has had difficulties in the past with relationships, not just romantic ones.
13. Finn does subconsciously believe that the characters are alive, seeing how he saw Emmet move of his own free will, and heard the others singing from the storage box. He denies he does, though.
Redraw of a thing I found on Jadon Sand’s (the kid who plays Finn) Instagram!! the tumblr side of the fandom should really like,, create more fan content about Finn and Bianca,,,
we need more finn and bianca tlm fanart i mean this boy had the inner conflict i used to go through when I had the choice to leave LEGO or not.
and bianca, well i didnt have a bianca, but somewhere out there, people could be dragging non-LEGO fans to build with them in their way as how they persuade them
they also need headcanons so the sibling rivalry gets bigger *queen whatevra cackle*
