12 Questions You Should Be Asking About Upcoming Movies

3. How Does It Work After The First Movie's Ending? - The LEGO Movie 2

Knowledge is a great thing, but it might be somewhat problematic for the logic of the LEGO Movie sequel that's coming in 2019. Specifically, how can the magic of the LEGO universe that the returning characters still exist within survive after Emmet discovered the truth of their reality?

It's difficult to go back after a twist THAT revelatory that breaks pretty much everything that defines the universe in the first place and the first trailer seems to be suggesting that they're not addressing it at all. Instead, we're dropped into the same world after the apocalypse where everything looks very Mad Max all of a sudden.

So how does that work when we know the LEGO characters were always subject to the will of the human builders? Or has something major changed?
