History Trivia / TheLEGOMovie2TheSecondPart

* CowboyBeBopAtHisComputer: Wikipedia successfully started a rumor that Maya Rudolph voices [[Film/TheWizardOfOz Dorothy Gale]], despite the movie not crediting her as such. Additionally, the only time Dorothy says anything in ''The LEGO Movie 2''[[note]]when Emmet's destruction of the Space Temple makes her cry, "Wah!!!"[[/note]], everyone who says it along with her drowns her out.

* IKnewIt: Many fans guessed correctly that [[spoiler: Sweet Mayhem and the inhabitants of Systar were not villains]], with many also correctly guessing that [[spoiler: Rex Dangervest was]].

** Sweet Mayhem's face is kept hidden behind her helmet in all promotional material...but the figure in her LEGO sets can be unmasked, and her appearance is shown on the back/sides of the boxes. Her face is also shown on her UsefulNotes/McDonalds toy, and her pod set doesn't even bother to include the helmet. There is even a pack of girls’ underwear from Target which has images of her helmetless look on it.

** Another original storyboard (made by Head of Story Matt Flynn) shows an alternative version of Rex Dangervest's backstory. The difference here is the way is shown and Rex's original plan was to take Queen Watevra (originally called Queen [=MerPony=]) to the Stairgate and destroying her in pieces to make sure the kids won't playing with them anymore.

** Director Mike Mitchell has six roles: Sherry Scratchen-Post, Emmet's neighbour, A royal guard, "Eight", the massage octopus, A Harmony Town citizen, An announcer who announces the guests on the bride and groom's side and An Apocalypseburg warrior

** Related to the above, previous LEGO movies caught some flack for subjecting their women to "The [[Franchise/TheMatrix Trinity]] Syndrome", relegating them to essentially sidekicks of men who seem too incompetent for most of the story. ''The Second Part'' breaks Lucy out of this by giving her the most fleshed-out arc among the main characters, and by centering the climax around [[spoiler:her saving Emmet, then destroying Rex.]]
** ''WesternAnimation/TheLEGONinjagoMovie'''s realistic outdoor environments faced a bit of criticism for being too much of a departure from the BuiltWithLEGO aesthetic. The trailer shows that while the film still uses some of the particle effects from the spinoffs, it's dialed back the more realistic elements in favor of the toy aesthetic, and any non-LEGO elements in the final film can still be found in a child's bedroom.

** [[https://brickset.com/article/42526/the-lego-movie-2-development-models Development models]] reveal that Emmet's friends were going to be in Rex's squadron at one point.

* FanNickname: "General ComicBook/HarleyQuinn" for Sweet Mayhem, due to [[spoiler:jarring similarities in terms of design]].

** Takanuva from ''Toys/{{Bionicle}}'' was featured in [[https://66.media.tumblr.com/f24800f5f09e974e7e4f4d93178071af/843713dca580abd8-c4/s540x810/3e12043275228fa911a5ca98930c5475b65b72e4.png concept art]] as part of Rex's crew. Lego's hesitance to recreate his parts for the toyline resulted in him being cut.

* PresumedFlop: Its $191 million gross was a severe disappointment, no doubt about it, but it still ended up just barely earning back its $99 million budget in theaters (and toy sales put it firmly in the black). This still wasn't enough for Warner Bros., and they let their rights to the franchise lapse.

** Orignally, Mayhem was the one who saved Lucy from falling, but then it was changed to be Lucy the one who saved her. Mayhem would've also helped on Lucy's plan but before she could do it, she had to show Lucy the truth behind the Systarians motivations.
** Lucy would've known the weakness of the temple thanks to a recording crystal message by Superman. And then later on, She would meet Superman in the wedding, telling her the Queen was good all along.
** Serveral outtakes from Rex telling Emmet about Armamageddon, Lucy and the others entering into the Queen's castle and Emmet walking on the streets of Apocalispburg.
** A dog from Harmony Town would've steal Rex's blaster and the guards would alert to Queen Wateva about the new vistors.
