No, I don't particularly think so.

>features BATGOD

Of course.
>>
>>79039617

If anything it's a strike AGAINST Gnosticism since it implies that there is no special knowledge that provides salvation. Emmet is NOT special because he went to the real world and back, that only revealed the aspects of his character that he was relying on the entire time (being able to plan well and get others to work together).

The big action climax of the movie involves EVERYONE in the Lego world being able to do cool shit and making things unique to them. They didn't have to be the hero or recieve divine, special, secret knowledge for it. They just needed a pep talk.

>>79039617
No. Gnostics thought the pathway to salvation was secret special knowledge. Lego Movie was about faith. If anything, Lego Movie is a the protestant reformation against the catholic authority.

>protestant reformation against the catholic authority

In the sense of Catholics claiming that not everyone is qualified to interpret the Bible infallibly and the Protestants strongly believe in personal revelation through Scripture? I guess if you squint, kind of.

I enjoyed this movie, but it had a few too many brick jokes for my liking.

You could probably shove any kind of politic message and it'd still make sense.

No, it was a marketing ploy to get more people to buy LEGO. That's all.
