psocopteraLego Movie 2
My favorite part of this movie was that at one point we see a scene of a whole bunch of 80s space Lego and I sat bolt upright in my seat and gasped in glee and Quentin reached over and patted me like yes Mom we know you're very excited. Anyways this was fine, not as good as the first one or the Batman one but better than the Ninjago one, had some good jokes and cute references, I liked that they showed Lego Friends and Lego playing together.
How To Train Your Dragon 3
Definitely felt like a weaker story than the first two but I love these movies so much. (Maybe someday we'll see if the TV show is any good.) I felt like there was really only one big question - were they going to do that - and (spoilers) they did, so, okay. I'm not a huge fan of either the Magic Has To Leave trope or the Growing Up Means Necessarily Exchanging Found Family And Unlikely Best Friends For Heteronormative Pair-Bonding trope but they did it about as beautifully as they possibly could have and I cried a bunch so hey.
Dragon Prince Season 2
Somehow even in this extremely diverse world full of people of color and gorgeous lesbian moms and kick-ass female secondary characters, the most interesting person in the world is a mediocre white boy! Ok, I'm being unfair, I do like Callum, and I'm definitely enjoying the show, and that was a much more thorough explanation of Rawls' veil of ignorance than I was expecting from an animated kids' fantasy show. It just... has sort of the same feeling as Lego 2, where there's this assumption about who gets to be at the center of the story and whose character development we're going to spend the most time watching happen onscreen. Also lesbian moms means you can have twice as many dead moms! Yay! :(
