Emmet Brickowski
Emmet Joseph Brickowski, later known by his alter-ego Radical Emmet Xtreme "Rex" Dangervest, is a Lego minifigure character in the "Lego Movie" franchise and the protagonist of "The Lego Movie" (2014) and its sequel, "" (2019). He starts out as an everyman construction worker in his home city of Bricksburg, and later, unexpectedly, becomes "The Special" Master Builder.
Emmet is basically a regular, mediocre guy, kind, humorous, and very light-hearted (up-beat). To him, everything in the world, even the negative things, are "awesome", which is the purpose of the song "Everything Is Awesome", which is his favorite song. He lives in an apartment with no one to hang around with except for "Planty", a potted green plant that Emmet claims as a pet, along with other junk objects. Nevertheless, Emmet still has some nice friends; his neighbors and co-workers in his job of construction, though he is mostly unrecognized and ignored. To satisfy himself, he follows what appears to be a very long, almost endless, list of instructions that show him how to fit in with everyone in the world and always be happy.
Emmet eventually and unexpectedly discovers that he was chosen by the prophecy of "The Special" Master Builder, proclaimed by wizard Master Builder Vitruvius, to find the Piece of Resistance to save the Lego World and stop the evil Lord Business. In addition, he meets his future girlfriend, Lucy (aka "Wyldstyle").
At first, Emmet is stubborn and constantly fails to do things right when they have to be, being used to following instructions, unimpressive to the Master Builders. But when he discovers that everything in the Lego world is from the imagination of a child with amazing creativity, he finds his own inner power of creativity and becomes a true Master Builder. He is sent back to the Lego world where he makes a speech to Lord Business and saves the world celebrating with his new friends. Wyldstyle becomes his girlfriend, with Batman's blessing, at the end of the film.
In the sequel, Emmet must use his Master Builder skills to save his friends from a new danger. It turns out Emmet maintains his livelihood and is unaffected by the aftermath of the Duplo invasion unlike everyone else in Bricksburg (now called "Apocalypseburg"). Emmet also wants to have a bright future with Lucy, but Lucy disagrees due to the fact that everything is rather bleak than awesome. After Lucy and his friends are abducted by General Sweet Mayhem (Stephanie Beatriz) of the Systar System, under the orders of shape-shifter Queen Watevra Wa'Nabi (Tiffany Haddish), he meets Rex Dangervest (Radical Emmet Xtreme), a galaxy defending (referencing Peter Jason Quill from "Guardians of the Galaxy") archaeologist (in turn to the speculation that Chris Pratt was to be the next Indiana Jones), cowboy (referencing Josh Faraday from "The Magnificent Seven"), and raptor trainer (referencing Owen Grady from "Jurassic World"), who is later revealed to be a version of Emmet from the future, as a time-traveler.
After he destroys the cake wedding of Wa'Nabi and Batman, Emmet realizes the real intentions of Rex Dangervest, and Rex knocks him under the same dryer to ensure his existence where he and Rex began to fight but Rex defeats him by breaking him in half, but Lucy rallies the others into escaping from the storage bin (bringing them back into the LEGO world), and rescues him from Rex. They both overpower Rex and destroy his time machine and he is erased from existence. The LEGO universe is transformed into a mix-up of Apocalypseburg and the Systar System called "Syspocalypstar" which is peaceful. Emmet's dream house is rebuilt and Lucy reveals that she was one of the original artists of "Everything Is Awesome", much to Emmet's surprise.
It was initially rumored that Emmet was going to have a sister in the second film, but around a month before its release, it was denied and the sister role ultimately went to Bianca.
Emmet's first, and so far only, appearance in films not related to the original story was in the first spin-off film, "The Lego Batman Movie". In the beginning of the film when a local Gotham News Anchorman is explaining the results of Joker's bomb blast, footage of Emmet falling into the Infinite Abyss of Nothingness is shown to illustrate what would happen.
Emmet appears as the protagonist in the game, voiced by Keith Ferguson. He has several variants of himself, which can be used as entertainment or disguises required to make progress in a level.
Emmet appears again as the protagonist in this game, but this time voiced by A.J. Locascio. Like the first film's game, he has several variants of himself, which can be used as entertainment or disguises required to make progress in a level.
Emmet appears as a playable character in "Lego Dimensions". His Fun Pack also includes his excavator. Chris Pratt reprises his role.
Emmet has also been portrayed in other uses of popular media.
Emmet and Lucy make an appearance in a 2014 episode of "The Simpsons", "Brick Like Me".
According to the first film's script, Emmet is 22 years of age, thus making him 27 in the sequel if accepted, with his year of birth as 1992. This would have meant that Emmet was about 13.5 years old when Lord Business stole the Kragle, as Emmet found the Piece of Resistance eight-and-a-half years later.
Despite being credited as so in the end credits of "The Lego Movie", Emmet's surname "Brickowski" is barely mentioned throughout the storyline of the franchise. In one scene from "The Lego Movie", Lord Business briefly refers to Emmet as "Brickowski", although this at first could have been interpreted as a clever insult. In "The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part", Rex Dangervest calls Emmet by his first name and surname, and jokes about it stating, "you're the reason I started wearing vests."
Although it is seen as a clever pun on a real person's surname ending in "-owski" (with "Brick-" coming from a Lego brick), Emmet's surname is believed to have drawn inspiration from former NBA player Frank Brickowski.

The young man symbolisess the eternal desire to surpass himself.
LGBTQ Pride Month
Pride Month is a thematic month where special attention is paid to the emancipation and acceptance of gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, "queer", or questioning (LGBTQ) people.
In the United States, June is "LGBTQI+ Pride Month", given the Stonewall riots that took place in New York City in late June 1969, which was a huge boost to the LGBTI+ civil and liberation movements. LGBTQ+ marches and parades have taken place in many American cities since the 1970s, which were followed in many Western countries, although not always in late June.
Since 2012, the Google Search has displayed a rainbow-colored decor that changes annually for LGBT-related searches during Pride Month.
Since 1999, Democratic Presidents Clinton, Obama, and Biden have officially declared "Pride Month" in June"." Republican President Trump did this in 2019 via Twitter. During this month, many American organizations, institutions and companies are paying attention to LGBT+ issues, including through public and "marketing" campaigns. However, this can also involve queerbaiting, pinkwashing, and rainbow capitalism.
Despite June being Pride Month, in the United Kingdom many pride events are held in July, August and September.
In the People's Republic of China, provinces are broken into areas called prefectures. They are a kind of administrative division.
Prefectures are the "second-level divisions" of China. First, the country is broken into provinces and autonomous regions. Second, provinces and autonomous regions are broken into prefectures of various kinds. Third, prefectures are broken into counties. Fourth, counties are broken into towns and subdistricts.
Any second-level division of China can be called a prefecture. However, prefecture also means a particular kind of second-level division. For this reason, second-level divisions are also called prefecture-level divisions.
The kinds of prefecture-level divisions include:

1970s in American television
The decade of the 1970s saw big changes in television programming in the United States. The "family sitcoms" and rural programs stopped and more socially modern programs and "young, hip and urban" sitcoms started.
"The Red Skelton Show" and "The Ed Sullivan Show" were canceled after being broadcast for many decades. The "family sitcoms" of the 1950s and 1960s were replaced with newer ones like "The Brady Bunch". The series has been broadcast in syndication since 1974. Many children grew up with it. They think of the Bradys as the normal family in 1970s television. "I Dream of Jeannie" and "Bewitched" began to lose American interest. "I Dream of Jeannie" ended its run in 1970, followed by "Bewitched" in 1972.
In 1971, CBS was being called the "Hillbilly Network" because the most of its hit shows were rural-oriented. It ended the shows "The Beverly Hillbillies", "Hee Haw", "Green Acres", "Mayberry RFD" and every program "that had a tree in it" as described by actor Pat Buttram. They were replaced with programs that appealed to younger urban viewers. Programming was called "social consciousness". It was lead by television producer Norman Lear.
"All in the Family" ended television barriers. When the series was first broadcast in 1971, Americans heard the words "fag (short for "faggot")," "jigaboo," and "spic" on national television programming for the first time. "All in the Family" was a part of common dinner conversation in the country. Americans had not seen anything like it on television before. The program became the highest-rated program on U.S. television in the fall of 1971. It stayed in the top slot until 1976. "All in the Family" started a number of spin-offs, such as "Maude". It starred Bea Arthur.
Maude was Edith Bunker's cousin and Archie's archenemy. She stood for everything liberal and was outspoken about civil rights and feminism. Like "All in the Family," Maude broke new ground in television. It presented American audiences with something they had never seen on television before when Maude said that she was planning to have an abortion. Maude was comfortable. She hired a black woman as her housekeeper. Maude's housekeeper, Florida Evans (played by Esther Rolle), became popular in her own right. She was given her own television series in 1974, "Good Times". The series starred John Amos and Rolle. "Good Times" was another hit for Lear.
Lear developed two more programs in 1975. "The Jeffersons" is a spin-off of "All in the Family". Archie Bunker's black next-door neighbors moved to an apartment on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. "One Day at a Time" is about a single mother raising her two teenage daughters in Indianapolis.
With the rise in socially responsible programming, the television western slowly died out. The first programs to end were "The High Chaparral" and "The Virginian" in the spring of 1971. "Bonanza" ended a year after actor Dan Blocker died during surgery in 1972. CBS's "Gunsmoke" ended with a star-studded series finale in 1975. During this time, "Kung Fu", airing from 1972 to 1975, had a mix of Eastern philosophy and martial arts. "Bonanza" actor Michael Landon was on a television version of the popular children's book series "Little House on the Prairie". The series first aired in 1974 and ran for eight years. The competitor of the program was CBS's "The Waltons". It was about family unity during a different time and place (Virginia) during the Great Depression.
Medical programs were popular in the early 1970s. "Marcus Welby, M.D." was the first medical drama to deal with many subjects on television. The series aired for 7 seasons. "Emergency!" was also the first series ever to have both the paramedic and the emergency hospital. It starred Robert Fuller and Julie London. "M*A*S*H", starring Alan Alda, was about the days of the Korean War. It was a comedy drama.
By the mid-to-late 1970s, viewers no longer wanted socially responsible sitcoms. Former head of programming Fred Silverman left CBS and worked for ABC. He started the trend of TV about sexual gratification, humor and situations. It was nicknamed "jiggle television." Jiggle TV programs included the crime-fighting series "Charlie's Angels". It starred soon to be sex symbols Farrah Fawcett, Jaclyn Smith, and Kate Jackson
"Charlie's Angels" was one of many crime series during the 1970s. Another program, "Police Woman" was the first to have a female lead in the title role who also became a sex symbol. Other successful TV crime dramas included "The Streets of San Francisco", "Columbo", "Barnaby Jones", "The Rockford Files", "Starsky & Hutch" and "Kojak". The most popular was "Hawaii Five-O". For many years it was the longest-running crime show in the history of American television. Crime shows were then often criticized during the 1970s because they often had violent content. "CHiPs", an action-packed police-buddy show, first aired in 1977. The police rarely used their guns in the show.
Science-fiction became more popular as the 1970s progressed. Many sci-fi programs were popular during this time. They included "The Six Million Dollar Man", "The Bionic Woman", "Battlestar Galactica", "Wonder Woman", "The Incredible Hulk" and "Fantasy Island".
Another popular medium in U.S. television moving into the 1970s was soap operas. They moved from being watched exclusively by housewives to having a sizable audience of men (who largely watched "The Edge of Night") and college students. The latter audience helped "All My Children" gain a devoted following, as it was on during many universities' traditional "lunch period." In a "TIME" article written in 1976, it was estimated that as many as 35 million households tuned into at least one soap opera each afternoon, the most popular being "As the World Turns". It routinely grabbed viewing figures of twelve million or higher each day.
