Lego Movie (2) in Death Battle
A while ago, I wrote The LEGO Movie Battle Royale. The three main minifigs battle each other to see who really is the Master Builder.

User SonicSmashEx made a comment saying that the characters will "have more feats in the Lego Movie 2". At the time of posting, LM2 isn't out yet, and I thought I have sufficient info to work out the battle royale (Lego Movie and its video game).

Then Lego Movie 2 finally came out, and I wanted to revisit my old battle. Rex seemed like a great DB combatant.

It took me a while, but I was finally able to see the movie. And now I'm not sure if I want to continue with LM2. Why?

Spoiler-Free=

Spoilery stuff (from both movies).

I initially thought Rex would be a great combatant. I had trouble deciding if Rex should replace Vitruvius (since he's canonically beheaded by a penny) or if Rex should be an additional combatant.

But then midway through LM2, I realized that Rex is actually future Emmet, and he turned out to be the main opponent for Emmet and Wyldstyle. That doesn't seem to fit with the theme I had in mind.

Besides, technically, Emmet, Wyldstyle, and Rex canonically fought near the end of LM2 (even though it's not necessarily to the point of death … kinda).

So I want to know what y'all want...

What should I do? Do LM Battle Royale 2, add Rex, keep Vitruvius Do LM Battle Royale 2, add Rex, ditch Vitruvius Ditch LM Battle Royale 2 (suggest opponents for characters in the comments)

Analysis Question
For those who want to see characters like Emmet fight other characters in 1v1, I found a potential analysis issue with LEGO characters: the environment.

The Master Builders have the ability to tear apart LEGO creations and make super-powered weaponry … in the LEGO world. In real life, that may not necessarily happen, but the LEGO objects are representative of real-world objects.

Also, more spoilery stuff!

The Lego Movie 2's intro shows Duplo Figures resisting some Master Builds. Is it the weapons themselves or all the Master Builds?

Also, both Lego Movies established a link between the real world (with Finn and Briana) and the LEGO world (with some interaction between those worlds in occasional scenes). Obviously, Master Builders can't build from other real-world objects like a washing machine (since they aren't LEGOs) … so would the real world objects count as higher-dimensional objects?

Finally, it's worth considering that some DC characters have their LEGO forms.

Because of the complex nature of LEGO character analysis, I tend to limit LEGO fighters' opponents to other LEGO fighters. Let me know what you think in the comments, as well as possible opponents for fighters like Emmet.
