## Roles

Rex as his past self as Emmet was the overarching main protagonist of the 2014 LEGO crossover film *The LEGO Movie*, an antagonist in the 2019 sequel The Second Part, and he becomes a posthumous overarching character in it's upcoming threequel.

## His Admirable Ranking

### Debated Validations

* It is debatable how pragmatic him saving those back in time like the Dinosaurs and eventually Emmet. Since it could be argued Rex only cared for them only to help him cause the Armageddon. Yet, it seems he shows genuine care for them nonetheless.
* While he did turn to the dark side. He did this due to his morale's being shattered due to it seemingly like they abandoned him.
* Some can argue he fails the admirable standards to Emmet and Wyldstyle since they are master-builders who manage to use their constructive creative abilities to save The Lego World. Yet, Rex chose to give up getting Emmet to be him at the cost of his life to save the entire world. Which is truly an admirable act.

### What makes him at least admirable enough?

* Half of the heroic acts he did one-single-handedly throughout the first movie as Emmet.
* He saved his present timeline Emmet Brickowski.
* Similar to Lena Luthor from Arrowverse. Despite Rex becoming villainous on the second half. He did this as a last resort due to people in his timeline abandoning him which made him somewhat of an extremist.
* Him giving up on his sinister plans against The Lego universe made the world safe and in peace, allowing Emmet to be just himself and not his future tough self Rex. This has eventually cost Rex's life.
* Said he was proud of Emmet and thanked Lucy for getting back for him and Emmet.

### What makes his admirability insufficient?

* He fails some of the system admirable standards to the Emmet, Wyldstyle and the other Masterbuilders who show to have done more admirable acts and went on sacrificial suicide missions to save the world far more longer than Rex has. The resources don't even matter at this point since Rex began to gain more resources than other heroes in The Lego Movie who didn't start out with any corrupting qualities like Robin from The Lego Batman Movie who does admirable acts with fewer resources. Yet, this prevention is minor due to the fact that Rex is a future self of Emmet meaning Rex has done enough admirable deeds to have his admirably fall under either Heroic Benchmark or just remain on here still.
* He had a rather manipulative arrogant personality which is way too much of a disqualifying factor for even Pure Good or Near Pure Good.
	+ His rescuing with the T-Rex Dinosaurs and Emmet may even be pragmatic since he was only doing this just to manipulate Emmet into committing a heinous act against the Lego Universe attempting to cause the Armageddon.
* Despite how heroic he once was. He still chose the path of villainy where he manipulated Emmet to commit a heinous act of destroying the marriage to cause the Armageddon. This has left Rex the spot as an Inconsistently Heinous villain.

## Trivia

* He is the only Lego Movie Insufficiently Admirable hero so far.
* There may be a high chance he gets placed onto Heroic Benchmark. If that is so, then he no longer can qualify here.
