History TearJerker / TheLegoMovie2TheSecondPart

** Later in the sad song, ''Everything's Not Awesome'', he sings that love isn't real and he just wants to eat carbs and [[HeartbreakAndIceCreamice cream in despair.

'''Lucy:''' Yes, I darkened my hair with marker because I wanted people to think I was cool and grown-up! [[HeelRealization And then I tried to change]] ''[[HeelRealization you]]'' [[HeelRealization into someone tough too, and I was wrong!]] I like you the way you were! [[NiceGuy Sweet, innocent, kind!]]\\

** If you really stop and think about it, [[FridgeHorror a lot of the catastrophic happenings in the film were caused by seemingly mundane decisions and twists of fate.]] The Systarians' poor communication led to the people of Bricksburg thinking that they can't be negotiated with, resulting in their animosity, and the latter's repetitive jumping to conclusions only replaying the vicious cycle. On a smaller note, Lucy not being more honest about her true self with Emmet during the five years of their relationship, as well as her wish to see Emmet mature, results in our protagonist not only taking the advice of the [[EvilAllAlong seemingly]] supportive Rex (who's actually a future him [[RevengeBeforeReason who wants to destroy most of the universe out of vengeance]]) but refusing to believe Lucy when she insists that the Systarians were GoodAllAlong. Not to mention, the fact that Rex existed in the first place was because he was left to die underneath a dryer for several years while his friends partied with everyone, presumably under the belief that Emmet was still safe in Apocalypseburg. The reality that the smallest decisions can result in such immense consequences is a prevalent theme in this movie, which is [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome a surprisingly realistic and symbolical lesson]] in something like the Lego Movie franchise.

** Alternately, it can be read as a conflict between two sides of Finn's personality: The one feeling pressured to be "tough" and "grown-up" (probably by his teenage peers) and the one that realizes that the way he's acting isn't right. The "tough, grown-up" side wins.

** When Emmet destroys the wedding altar in the Lego world on the other hand, it causes [[EverybodyCries the Systarians, including Unikitty, Benny and Metalbeard, to cry]], which if you may realize is actually symbolizing Bianca's shock and sadness.

* Queen Watevra & Batman during Armamageddon. When Emmet shatters their wedding cake altar, Queen Watevra is shattered as well. We then see Batman show more despair than he ever has while he tries to hold on to the last piece of her face. She's sucked into the Bin of Storage, and Batman desperately gathers up her pieces while calling for her not to leave him.
-->'''Batman:''' My queen! No, no, no! Please don't leave me! ''MY QUEEN!!''
** Later in the sad song, ''Everything's Not Awesome'', he sings that love isn't real and he just wants to eat carbs in despair, pass the ice cream.
** More [[VisualPun heartbreaking]] considering his other romances in the LEGO films. ''The LEGO Movie''? Ends his relationship with Lucy so [[IJustWantMyBelovedToBehappy she can be with Emmet]]. ''The LEGO Batman Movie''? His crush on Barbara Gordon ends up unrequited, something that even ''he'' eventually realized. And given how Batman is fully aware of his past incarnations who have either dumped or betrayed him, Lucy and Barbara were basically salt thrown into the wounds. In this movie? The first time he has ever felt genuine love for someone who loved him back and she's broken apart in Armamageddon, leaving him [[WidowedAtTheWedding widowed at his wedding]]. Just... ''[[YankTheDogsChain damn]]''.

* The Master Builders and the Systarians being thrown into storage, and then all singing about how everything is NOT awesome.
** Even worse? It says "THE END", and Lucy says it shouldn't be this way. Had it been like that, [[TheBadGuyWins Rex would've won.]]

'''Emmet:''' ''[beat]'' ''[[WhamLine The real Lucy would never say that.]]''

*** What’s worse, Lucy had started the movie keeping up her cool girl act and trying to get Emmet to mature, all the while hiding the fact she liked his sweet, kind nature. Here, she’s finally forced to face the consequences of her actions, as Emmet is becoming more dark, aggressive and broody simply because of him wanting to impress her and he is unable to realize her cool tough girl persona isn’t the real her because of her upholding it for so long.

* Rex brutally beating Emmet in Undar the Dryar to the point of incapacitating him, [[BreakTheCutie all while taunting him about how his friends had failed to save him.]] The look on Emmet's face, just before Lucy (thankfully) arrives, is ''heartbreaking'' as though he really believes in that moment that his friends never truly cared about him.

** This adds a serious dose of FridgeHorror to the series as a whole, since that likely means that his fears of losing the people he loves from the aforementioned movie [[YouCantFightFate ended up being rectified]].

** If you really stop and think about it, [[FridgeHorror a lot of the catastrophic happenings in the film were caused by seemingly mundane decisions and twists of fate.]] The Systarians' poor communication led to the people of Bricksburg thinking that they can't be negotiated with, resulting in their animosity, and the latter's repetitive jumping to conclusions only replaying the vicious cycle. On a smaller note, Lucy not being more honest about her true self with Emmet during the five years of their relationship, as well as her wish to see Emmet mature, results in our protagonist not only taking the advice of the [[EvilAllAlong seemingly]] supportive Rex (who's actually a future him [[RevengeBeforeReason who wants to destroy most of the universe out of vengeance]]) but refusing to believe Lucy when she insists that the Systarians were GoodAllAlong.

** If you think about it for a moment, it makes sense. Lucy saw her friends immediately affected by the Systarians' music, and when she reunites with Emmet, she smiles at him knowing he's still the same guy she lived with for five years, until realizing he made her wish of becoming tough true. The moment it's brief, but still sad for her.

* Lucy's reaction when Emmet tells her he grew up, just like he wanted, she's smiles at him but feels dissapointed when she liked him the way he was.

* The Master Builders and Systar inhabitants being thrown into storage, and then all singing about how everything is NOT awesome.

** The look on Lucy's face right after Emmet says this. The idea that Emmet ''genuinely believes'' Lucy would never like him the way he was just devastates her.

** More [[VisualPun heartbreaking]] considering his other romances in the LEGO films. ''The LEGO Movie''? Ends his relationship with Lucy so she can be with Emmet. ''The LEGO Batman Movie''? His crush on Barbara Gordon ends up unrequited, something that even ''he'' eventually realized. And given how Batman is aware of his past incarnations who have either dumped or betrayed him, Lucy and Barbara were basically salt thrown into the wounds. In this movie? The first time he has ever felt genuine love for someone who loved him back and she's broken apart in Armamageddon, leaving him [[WidowedAtTheWedding widowed at his wedding]]. Just... ''[[YankTheDogsChain damn]]''.
* On the real-world side of things, there are some hints that Finn and Bianca's father isn't doing his part in raising the kids: President Business, his stand-in in the Lego Universe, runs off to go play golf during the opening of the film, despite the obvious crisis surrounding him, which likely parallels some real-life incidents in the household. Later, he refuses to even get involved in the conflict between Finn and Bianca, leaving it up to their mother. His lack of interest is clearly having an effect on Finn, too.

* Queen Watevra & Batman during Armamageddon. When Emmet shatters their wedding cake altar, Queen Watevra is shattered as well. We then see Batman show more despair than he ever has while he tries to hold on to the last piece of her face. She's sucked into the Bin of Storajj, and Batman desperately gathers up her pieces while calling for her not to leave him.

* Batman's first appearance in the movie, when Emmet stops for a quick chat with him. It's not clear what happened to the rest of Batman's friends between this movie and WesternAnimation/TheLEGOBatmanMovie (if that was even canon) but it's hinted to be something bad.

* Queen Watevra & Batman during Ourmamageddon. When Emmet shatters their wedding cake altar, Queen Watevra is shattered as well. We then see Batman show more despair than he ever has while he tries to hold on to the last piece of her face. She's sucked into the Bin of Storage, and Batman desperately gathers up her pieces while calling for her not to leave him.
