I’m afraid I must concur, even after the big fight scene with the King In Yellow, and the mega battles that were portrayed, I do still want to see how they handle a relatively ordinary superhero! 😀
It’s not just labor costs. Everyone involved in the battle with the King in Yellow got hazard pay plus bonuses for some. Robin should have at the very least gotten hazard pay for the whole of last year and one small fortune of a bonus for all he went through. Then there’s the funeral expenses of those that didn’t survive, the medical expenses of those that did, and the cost of casting all those Purple Hearts and other various medals of honor as well as paying for the award ceremonies to present them. And of course ships need repairing and rebuilding and outfitting. Maybe we should be thankful he can afford to produce the comic at all.
…and we haven’t even begun to weigh up the long term cost of all of those who will end up suffering from PTSD or any such other psychological impairment. Also while the Lego’s were all out fighting, back at home, to keep the factories running and the farms producing, the Duplo’s and Kinetics’s had to work and they need to be paid as well…
Kind of demonstrates the silliness of conflict.
Awww, is this going to be another one of those budget-saving episodes where we mostly stay on the bridge and just hear about what’s going on?

Well as the good doctor admitted recently, he has expanded the cast.
As such his labor costs have gone up as any good accountant (like Lt. Lor) can tell you. 😉

No wonder Lego is getting so expensive! Who knew that swooshing our creations around the room could cause so much financial damage down the road?

Yeah, you’re right, they should have just rolled over and let the King in Yellow destroy the universe. That would have been so much better.
What does “Rod” need with a space ship?
I see what you did there! 🙂
*stands and applauds*
Well done.
Next thing you know they’ll start using the same battle scenes for the rest of the season!
