History YMMV / TheAngryBirdsMovie2

* {{Moe}}: Just like the hatchlings, the piglets are downright sweet.

* JerkassWoobie: [[BigBad Zeta]]. She openly admits that her plan to level Pig and Bird Islands is all about her, but given how difficult living on the frozen wasteland Eagle Island is, it's hard to not at least partially sympathize with her. [[spoiler: The scene which shows her being left at the altar by Mighty Eagle, looking close to tears only adds to this.]]

* HarsherInHindsight: [[WebVideo/MirandaSings Colleen Ballinger]] being the voice of Roxanne, a female bird attempting to attract Red with a mating dance, becomes this thanks to Colleen’s pedophillia allegations.

* ContestedSequel: While critics and general audiences saw the film as a notable improvement over its predecessor, the [[CriticalDissonance franchise's main fanbase has been more divided]]. While the second film is commonly lauded for having funnier jokes and a more ambitious, unpredictable story than its more safe and generic predecessor, a good number of fans felt that the film deviated too much from the source material [[note]]The franchise's signature slingshots play no part in the plot this time, and the film ends with [[spoiler:the birds and pigs finally putting aside their rivalry]][[/note]] and with the exception of Red, most of the first film's cast were [[TookALevelInDumbass dumbed down]] and [[DemotedToExtra not focused on]] in favour of the new characters. Silver's redesign and the revelation in Mighty Eagle's backstory that he [[spoiler:left his fiancée at the altar]] are particularly divisive.

** Like the previous movie, Stella ended up being underused, but here it's even worse as she had much less screen time than the first movie.

* AuthorsSavingThrow: The first movie received some criticism for having a message that can easily be constructed as "immigration equals invasion and they're going to steal your stuff and eat your kids". By contrast, this sequel shows the pigs and birds working together, and shows the [[spoiler: hatchlings and the piglets becoming friends. And also, by the end of the movie, birds and pigs are shown coexisting peacefully.]]

* WereStillRelevantDammit:
** Instead of keeping the cartoonish, steampunkish 1970s technological aesthetic used in all previous ''Angry Birds'' media (including the first movie), this movie advances its technology straight to the present day. It regularly features smartphones and social media, and includes Garry, who looks and acts exactly like a modern Silicon Valley software developer. The movie even contains a flashback to what was supposedly the 1990s.

* WinTheCrowd: Many people who didn't think ''Angry Birds'' deserved to have movies were cautiously optimistic when Thurop Van Orman (of ''WesternAnimation/TheMarvelousMisadventuresOfFlapjack'' fame) was attached as director. The revelation that the birds and pigs would [[EnemyMine work together against a common threat]] was also well-received as completely new ground for the franchise. Upon release, the film was lauded as a notable improvement over its predecessor.

** "Angry Birds X: We've discovered the (X + 1)th island." [[labelnote: Explanation]]
When the trailers revealed that the movie would take place on a newly-discovered Eagle Island, fans immediately started suggesting the locations of the following ''Angry Birds'' films.[[/labelnote]]

* ContestedSequel: While the film did get better reviews than the first one, there are a good number of people that prefer the first movie to the sequel. Reasons being that the first movie had more bonuses for adults and the three leads had better chemistry in it. Detractors of the second movie point to how it has a poor grasp at the source material and how it dumbs down Chuck and Bomb and how Mighty Eagle goes from annoying to plain unlikeable due to how it's revealed that he left his fiance at the altar which didn't happen in the games.

* SurprisinglyImprovedSequel: Early reviews say that the sequel is a notable improvement over its predecessor with Rotten Tomatoes rating it roundabout 73% compared to the 44% the first one has. Particular praise has been given to the film's humour and Creator/LeslieJones' performance as Zeta. Having Thurop Van Orman of ''WesternAnimation/TheMarvelousMisadventuresOfFlapjack'' fame on board may have helped.

** "When they throw in the guac for free." [[labelnote: Explanation]] [[https://twitter.com/angrybirdsmovie/status/1125067630035869696?lang=en A tweet by the movie's official Twitter account]] featuring a GIF this caption above a clip of a few characters from the movie getting startled. People tend to quote this on some Angry Birds 2-related posts because of it's similarity to "[[WesternAnimation/TheGrinch2018 When guac is extra]]".[[/labelnote]]
