* Metalbeard is '''awesome''' indeed! His beard is METAL! His body fell apart thanks to Lord Business, leaving his head (and organs) as the only part of him that wasn't lost, so he threw together a bigger, stronger body for himself out of misc things like chains, huge hands, and a treasure chest on his actual chest. He even made an arm out of a ''shark!''

* On a completely meta level, the movie itself is ''completely'' '''awesome'''. When a LEGO movie was first announced to be happening, most people rolled their eyes and wrote it off instantly as just being probably the most transparent case of movie product-placement and advertising imaginable (which is saying a lot). The fact that everyone involved in making this movie clearly went all out in terms of effort meant that not only did the movie turn out so much better than anyone could possibly have predicted, but it was also extremely effective in its purpose as an advertisement for LEGO, with sales of sets going up in the months after the movie was released.
** To advertise for the sequel, [[https://www.theverge.com/2018/11/20/18105471/lego-movie-2-youtube-free-black-friday-sequel-second-part they opted to have the original movie play in ads on YouTube]], with occasional ad spots to plug the sequel, but otherwise intact.

* While the rest of the film is definitely '''[[MemeticMutation awesome]]''' the climactic [[TheReveal plot revelation]] where you realize just where and how the film is taking place goes a step beyond this. Turns out [[spoiler: the entire film was just a played out fantasy by a young boy Finn and his over bearing father in their study. But what makes it beyond awesome from anything up to the film thus far, is how the film becomes a direct AllegoryAdventure for them, from everything- the use of [=KraGle/KrazyGlue=] on bricks to President Business wanting perfect control. Thus, when the compromise between Finn and his dad is reached, you see through a brilliant montage how it affects the rest of the Lego world]]. There's a ''reason'' this film is getting so much praise from A.O. Scott and Michael Philips.
