Will: Last week,
"Lego Masters" went medieval.
You're building castles.
And the teams' builds were a smash hit.
- Yeah! - Brendan and Greg.
Brothers Brendan and Greg took home another win,
and the doctors said farewell to the competition.
Now it's the endgame of all time.
Welcome to the Lego Cinematic Universe.
Oh, yes!
Oh, my God! We're doing Marvel.
I think they're excited about this.
But will civil war break out between the teams?
I need you to come and hold this.
From this side. No, the front!
Come and fix this! Fix this! Come!
Stacey: We can't keep it like this.
If that's what takes us out of here, you can hold me responsible.
"Lego Masters" starts now.
( all gasping )
- Oh, my God! - Oh, dude!
- Yeah! - Hello, builders.
- Hi, Will! - Hey!
This season, you've survived everything we've thrown at you,
every challenge, every twist, every turn.
You battled through it like a bunch of superheroes.
- Mm-hmm. Yeah. - Yeah.
But now it's time to put your superpowers
to the ultimate test.
- Oh! - Oh, my God!
- Oh, dude! - Yeah!
Yes! Yes!
Oh, yes!
Oh, my God! We're doing Marvel.
This is amazing!
I love the MCU.
This is hands down the best challenge ever.
- I'm so excited. - Oh, my goodness.
- It's Marvel! - This is the most excited
I have been for any of these challenges.
I'm about to go to college to study film,
and Marvel is one of my favorite film series ever.
So this is gonna be a lot of fun.
Welcome to the Lego Cinematic Universe.
- Whoo! - Yeah!
Here in the LCU, I'll serve as your Nick Fury
guiding you through a blockbuster
brick-building challenge that's so incredible,
this episode will be 3 1/2 hours long with two sequels
- just so we can tell the story. - Yes!
Brickmasters, assemble!
- Ooh! - Ooh!
There they are.
- Oh! - Yeah, there we go.
Wow, Brickmasters...
- Hey, there. - Hello.
Thank you for heeding the call.
All right, this week you're building the most epic battle scenes
from the Marvel Cinematic Universe,
- showcasing a frozen moment of impact. - Yes!
- Okay. - Each team will bring a scene to life
with Lego bricks.
The five scenes you'll be choosing from are...
Thor awakening his power in "Thor: Ragnarok."
Dr. Strange saving America Chavez
in "Dr. Strange in the Multiverse of Madness."
Ooh.
Drax jumping into Abilisk's mouth
in "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2."
- Oh, man. - Shang-Chi fighting the Dweller-in-Darkness
in "Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings."
- Oh, that'd be really... - And Captain Marvel
stopping Ronan's attack in "Captain Marvel."
These are iconic and memorable scenes,
so we want you to stay authentic to the reference material
and accurately recreate them in brick form.
Now, Brendan and Greg, you're holding onto the "Lego Masters" version of an Infinity Stone,
the Golden Brick. Let's see it.
- There it is. - Ooh.
You've had a pretty good run with it, but per the rules,
this challenge is the last time
you can use the Golden Brick
to protect yourself from elimination.
- Oh. - All right, behind me on five podiums,
you'll find minifigs that correspond with each film.
On my call, you're gonna run in there and choose the minifig
from the scene you want to build.
- ( gasps ) - We are giving you 12 hours...
- Wow. - ...to complete your build.
- Are you ready? - Yeah.
- Yes. Yes. - Yeah!
Get your brick on!
( overlapping chatter )
- Aah! - Get it! Get it!
- Yes! - They like this one.
- Just a little bit. - Tables, tables.
You have no idea how big a MCU fan I am.
I have seen every movie at least three times.
Both of us have even go so far as to go to comic conventions
dressed our favorite Marvel superheroes.
What are we calling the wheel? The fire wheel? Or...
It's not a fire wheel. It's the mystical sawblade.
We have scene from "Dr. Strange in the Multiverse of Madness."
The sparks are very bright,
and they're obviously illuminated.
We need to try and replicate that
using light bricks in our build.
Hmm, that might work.
We are so lucky that we get Dr. Strange.
It's Steve's favorite character in the MCU.
He's named Stephen. It just fits that we get him.
- I believe in us. - I do, too.
- This is gonna be great. - Yes.
Okay, go get stuff.
Honestly, getting to these final five teams
was kind of a bit of personal goal for me.
I get to spend all this time with my mom
before I go to college,
and it's so emotional for my mom.
It's so emotional.
I'm so proud of you. We made it to the final five.
Captain Marvel, inspire us.
Greg: I don't care about the depth, actually.
I just wanna know how many Thors long this is.
We got "Thor: Ragnarok," so in this image
where Thor's coming down on the lightning bolts,
you can clearly see the outline of the city of Asgard.
Brendan: I'm focusing on the rainbow bridge.
It's iconic, it's colorful.
I feel like it's a really important statement piece
right there in the front of the build.
Knowing that we can't get eliminated
because it's our last chance to play the Golden Brick,
- we're just gonna have fun with this one. - Yeah.
I'm making a point that affects the measuring.
- I'm listening to you. - We know it's 40x30.
We don't necessarily wanna scale things strictly based on his height.
- Mm-hmm. - Because a minifig's height is way out of proportion.
Should be-- five times is about 25...
I don't feel like you're listening to me right now.
Nick: So, yeah, I think we have a big wave here.
Are we supposed to build up a back plate though?
I don't think it'll add anything to our build.
I think an empty background would give the implication
of what's happening in the scene.
It's gonna completely take away
the illusion of the scene though.
So we chose "Shang-Chi," and I'm so excited about it.
Nick: Looking at this image, it is pretty intense.
We have a huge monster.
We've got these massive whirlpool waves
in the background that we're going to have to recreate,
and Shang-Chi's floating in the middle of the air.
How are we gonna get him suspended there?
We are definitely gonna have our work cut out for us.
- It's gonna be a very serious tone... - I know.
- ...for our creation this time around. - Yeah. We love color,
so this is gonna feel so strange for us.
Dave? Mystic sawblade.
- Oh, yeah. Cool, cool. - All right, gimme.
- It's fragile. Careful. - Yeah, we'll we're gonna...
Oh, don't breathe on it?
Dave and Emily are incredible competitors.
They are fellow Canadians, and we wanna see them succeed,
but not to the point where they beat us.
Guys, there's a lot of Lego-- your station is very...
Don't mess with the process, Will.
Were you here for the last challenge?
- No, was it worse? - ( laughs )
- What do you got there, Dave? - Just a pretty little monster.
- Emily: It's Abilisk. - An Abilisk from "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2."
- Abilisk. Oh, there it is. Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Yeah, right?
The scene we have is "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2."
Drax is going up against the Abilisk.
The Abilisk is this big pink blob
- with a giant mouth, eight tentacles. - A lot of teeth.
A million teeth.
The biggest key feature that we need to nail
is the mouth.
If you could be a Marvel superhero,
who do you think it would be?
I think I'd be the Scarlet Witch.
- Scarlet Witch. - Oh, yeah.
David?
Well, probably the one I look the most like-- Thor.
- ( laughs ) - Yeah.
( laughing )
Looks like Thor. Get a look at David.
And then we'll do a side-by-side with Thor.
- Emily: Identical. - Identical.
His wife actually thinks he looks like Thor.
Well, you know what they say?
Love is blind,
and so is David's wife.
Where's our clear-- our clear...
You could just stick black Technic pins in the side of this.
We have Captain Marvel,
and she's literally holding this giant missile mid-air.
The main feature of our build
is this ballistic missile,
and we're going to bring it to life
with the lights on the inside.
And we're going to shine a light on Captain Marvel
to illuminate her and her powers.
- Hi. - How are you?
- Emily and Liam, hello. - Welcome, Brickmasters.
- Yeah, good to see you. - We're very excited.
As you can see, it's pretty much one object.
- Jamie: Yes. - So we're trying to go all in
on making it as detailed and interesting as possible.
I love hearing you start with the details,
'cause I think this is something
we've always been pushing you for.
You are great building big.
You're great at getting that overall visual,
but the details are what's gonna take you to the next level.
We really wanted to get
all the complex angles on this missile,
and we all want to get the lighting.
So we're putting some power functions, lights on the inside,
and then we're going to have a background for the sky
that's blue like this.
Just in general, this is a 2-D image. You wanna bring it into 3-D.
And I think there is a risk, especially with the backdrop,
that it can end up looking very flat if it's all one color.
- Both: Good luck. - Emily: Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Liam: We've got a ton to cover.
The sky is one of the most important features of this.
We need to make sure it looks right.
Add some extra clouds below...
12 hours, it's not enough time.
We're kinda screwed on this then.
- We're kinda screwed on this. - We're kinda screwed on this.
How would we extend the sky?
Liam: We'll worry about the sky later.
So, Brickmasters, as seemingly the only actor in Hollywood
currently not starring in a Marvel movie or TV show
or cartoon or video game or graphic novel...
- Ooh. - Okay.
This is really exciting for me
'cause I'm finally getting my taste of Marvel.
So what do you think?
Can we talk about why they haven't called me yet?
Or should we talk about
what the teams are building this week?
- Uh, let's go with the builds. - Yeah.
- Probably the right call. - In this challenge,
we've asked our teams to recreate epic movie moments
from the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Yeah, and it's really about creating the illusion
of that energy in the scene without us getting distracted
by any of the supports or ways that they create that magic.
I've got this nice pretty strip of rainbow colors
- for the rainbow bridge. - Sounds great.
Our teams have to capture the epic movie moment
that we've given them in the reference image.
Dave: Does that look dumb with that eyes position?
That one's too far.
Yeah, well, I don't think I can do it better.
I think it's like-- I think it's like this.
- Stacey: Like that? - Right? Yeah, yeah.
- And I-- hang on. - ( phone ringing )
Hold that thought.
Yeah, I got a-- nope.
- It's not Marvel. Okay. - Jamie: Oh.
- Disappointing. - Next time.
Yeah, yeah. For sure next time-- is what I said last time.
The front of that should be touching where he is.
This has to come this way.
Stephen: This is the challenge I've been waiting for.
It ties in two of my favorite things
in the world with Lego and Marvel.
Congratulations. You're Dr. Strange.
We cannot go home on this challenge,
or I will not hear the end of it.
- Hello, Will. How are you? - Hey, fellas.
I'm guessing by your reaction
to this challenge being announced...
I may be a little bit excited about this.
- Yeah. - I am not a closeted nerd at all.
I am right out there with how much I love comic books and stuff like that.
I'm not quite as hardcore as my partner,
but I am big fan of it. So are my kids.
Both of you guys are real world superheroes.
I mean, let's take a look, Stephen,
at the photo that your wife sent us.
You're like a dreamy superhero.
Thanks, Will.
Yeah, what calendar year was that?
- 2003. It was. - 2003. That was a good year.
- That was-- I mean-- - It was much younger version of me.
You had to put out your own fires with that photo, am I right?
Early in my fire service career,
I ended up doing the charity calendar.
It was a very fun, rewarding experience
to do all fundraising for the Calgary Burn Unit.
My wife was definitely the encouraging force,
and she also encouraged me to get the frosted tips.
20 years ago, people.
Oh, my God, that's a good tentacle!
- It is a good tentacle. - Hello! Oh, wow!
- Will's here to save the day! - Hey, guys.
That was quite the superhero entrance.
( groans )
Such a mistake.
- Such a mistake. - Regretting that already?
( groans )
You've heard of Ant-Man?
- Yeah. - Yeah.
- I'm Can't-Man. - Ah, I see.
Nick, what would your superpower be?
- Summon any Lego brick that I want to. - Let's see you--
- you need to do-- - Oh, I need to have a whole thing?
- You have to have a pose-- a whole thing. - Yes! Yes!
- Can't I just hold up a Lego brick and-- - No, we're on television.
We're entertaining the people at home. And a phrase.
- A phrase? - Well, you're summoning Lego bricks.
- Oh, wait. Here I got one. - Okay.
Get your brick on.
- I didn't steal that from anywhere. - I feel like that's taken.
But you're right, it does take a superhero to do that.
Both: Get your brick on!
I wonder if we should actually shift the angle
to not be the perfect angle, so that if it sags,
it looks like the perfect angle.
- It's not gonna sag much. - You sure?
- Look at it. - Did you just say the word "much"?
Liam: We've been flying in the middle for awhile,
and that hasn't been bad.
Like, we haven't been in the bottom two. We're happy about that.
But we want to be top of this challenge.
- Hi, guys. - Hey.
What is your scene here?
We're building the scene from "Captain Marvel"
right in the climax where she stops this ballistic missile mid-air.
This is real challenge because it's such a minimalist image.
Everyone else has these busy scenes on the ground.
- Yeah. - We've got one up in the sky.
There's only so many things to focus on,
- so we've gotta nail it. - Yeah.
Do you guys watch the Marvel movies together as a family?
- I'm huge Marvel fan, so, of course. - You are?
- Yeah. - What about a superhero voice?
Does he have a superhero voice?
( imitating Thor ) I've gotta have my Thor voice here.
Oh, I like that.
( imitating Thor ) I was, like, so excited.
I was out of my mind.
What would your mom's superhero name be,
- do you think? - Emily: Ooh.
I mean, Supermom is pretty obvious.
- Pretty good. - Emily: Yeah.
- It's pretty true as well. - Will: Is it?
It's so true. It's so true.
I'll pay you later, honey.
Building action scenes can be so much fun.
Transparent pieces are great to position characters,
to really get depth to the explosion,
and then ball joints are great for allowing you
to position things any way you want
and really get a dynamic effect.
Yeah, making these scenes is like making a Hollywood movie,
where they don't have to make the whole building,
they just have to do the fronts of them.
But windows can be tricky, 'cause you can see here,
you can look right through those windows,
and it breaks the illusion.
A simple trick is to just add some block color
and then place that behind the windows.
It looks like a full building.
- Stacey: Hello. - Hello, Nick and Stacey.
- Hello, Brickmasters. - Hey.
Great. Look at this deep dark blue.
- Yes. - Where are you taking us?
Our scene is from "Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings,"
and it is when he is fighting the big bad Dweller-in-Darkness.
- One epic moment. - Indeed.
- Absolutely, yeah. - So we're gonna kind of build up from here
to capture this larger wave
and then kind of have a part floating in the air over here.
Have you done any little test pieces?
Like, have you done a little sample to see,
"This is the overall final effect I want of the water"?
- No. That's a great idea, though. - We've haven't yet.
That is definitely a great idea for us.
- We should do a little tiny one. - Yeah, absolutely.
Something we often do at Lego HQ
when we're working on something big
is we do a couple of tests small
to see what are the colors,
how do we capture the energy?
'Cause that water has so much energy.
Yeah, for sure.
And then when you nail it in a small scale,
- it's easier to scale up. - Okay, I like that.
- Both: Good luck. - Thank you so much, Brickmasters. Cheers.
I do get the sense that they are a bit concerned about the water.
This wave is complicated.
What do you think for colors?
I feel like they're all very distracting.
Really? Yeah, we're gonna have--
we can't have it all just be dark blue waves like this though.
We're kind of disagreeing.
I think for the first time ever in this competition,
we have a different opinion
on how we should go with this wave.
I feel like some of the clear ones
could give some of that white stuff.
Nick: I think white would be better.
White and gray would be better.
You don't think that'll make it look too opaque,
opposed to translucent like water?
We have to figure this out
because we don't wanna be in the bottom two again.
We can't keep it like this.
Honestly, if that's what takes us out of here,
you can hold me responsible.
That's about as circular as I can make the sides.
- It looks like a banana. - Yeah, well...
We've got our own battle to the end
going on here at "Lego Masters."
The competition is down to five teams.
The stakes are really raised now.
I think our teams are really stepping it up a notch in this challenge.
Do you want more rubble coming down this way?
- Makes sense. - Yeah.
Stephen and Stephen are so happy to have Dr. Strange.
This is an epic scene with lots of details.
Yeah, and they're actually choosing to go beyond the frame
of the image we've given them.
It means they can bring more chaos, more madness,
and really fit to the scale of that minifigure.
What do you think?
I think we need to figure out something different.
Jamie: Emily and Liam, they're really dependent
on making sure that that ballistic missile is perfect
because it's the only thing in the scene besides Captain Marvel.
Amy: I just hope they spend enough time focusing on the backdrop.
They don't seem to have thought about how they're gonna do that big blue sky,
and it does take up so much of their image.
So I might as well just keep stacking straight up on these then.
Nick and Stacey have a little bit of a challenge
because it's a big water scene
where there's just water wrapping all around
with the giant monster down below.
They actually don't have a backdrop that's full yet.
So there is a risk that if they don't create that,
that you'll see everything behind.
- It all comes down to this. - Yeah.
They know they're heading towards the end
and everybody wants a place in that final.
- I'm not feeling good with where we're at. - Why?
'Cause it just feels like there's so much to do.
Things are heating up in this competition.
Making even the smallest mistakes now
could be the difference between staying in and going home.
There are some builds around the room that are looking amazing.
The Stephens, there's is coming together so well and they're so fast.
Their build is almost complete and we're still halfway in ours?
Look at that. Now it's mostly the top area.
Oh, yeah, that looks a lot better.
I think you're taking it a bit too far.
Like, just build it, man.
We're supposed to exactly replicate, dude.
Yeah, but remember, they're not going to be...
Brendan: This is one of the few things that physically exists in the scene.
...that precision-oriented with it.
- How do you know? - But, Brendan--
Those who have a more exact replication
- are gonna have a better shot. - Just build it.
Also, we have the Golden Brick.
Like, you can just build it, you know?
Now as you just pointed out, battle to the end.
Yeah, you can see everybody wants to win this challenge,
and you can see the pressure is really starting to get to our teams.
I mean, it's an ambitious build.
- Go, superhero Liam! - Yeah, more like that.
- With the big horns. - Mm.
Start pushing down with your fingers.
- Your fingies. - Hello.
Dave and Emily. Emily, you're getting some aggression out.
- Jamie: I know! - Some rage.
- It helps that I'm here. - I don't have any rage.
You two have been in the top two the last two weeks.
Always a bridesmaid, never a bride.
Yeah, but maybe this is your chance.
- Emily: Hopefully. - Dave: Maybe it is.
- Amy: You're big fans of the film. - Emily: Huge fans.
And you already have a great start in the face and the tentacles.
Are you planning to build a backdrop as well
or were you just gonna have the monster as a standalone?
I'm hoping for a backdrop. I'm hoping I have time.
Just make sure that not having something behind them doesn't ruin the illusion,
because this challenge is about taking that picture
and replicating it as accurately as possible.
- Yep. - All right, good luck.
- Thank you. - Emily: The Brickmasters come around telling us
the backdrop was important for the forced perspective.
Yeah, I'm a bit annoyed.
- You're annoyed? - Yeah.
That we have to build a backdrop?
- No. - You understand that we have to now, right?
- Oh, yeah. - Okay.
I guess I'm adding a backdrop?
I guess you're adding a backdrop.
Stacey: Do you really not think
a little bit of that hidden blue in there
could give it that translucency a little bit when it dings away?
You know what? It's not bad actually. Yeah.
We build these giant waves, and I was like,
"You know what? I'm just gonna go for it."
I'm gonna put some of those translucent blue pieces
that Nick has been adamant from the beginning,
"I don't want those pieces."
- And the splashes work. - It works!
Like, I told you!
Once this is in, you do not touch it.
Copy.
All right, so we are nearing the climax,
and you know what that means.
Cue the ominous music sting.
( music playing )
Close on the panicked face of the innocent bystander.
And finally, a lighting change
cued by a panicked hero!
One hour left!
- Oh! - Ooh.
- Wow, that really got me. - Jeez.
- One hour left! - Oh, my God, I almost peed.
All right, let's get this done, Stacey.
Riveted. Edge of my seat.
Where do you want her exact spot to be?
She should be in the same line with the angle of the--
Can you come and look at it with me?
Yep. She needs to be angled like that.
That would be perfect.
We have the light now at the tip of the missile.
The light feature is so important
to put at that point of connection where Captain Marvel
is stopping the ballistic missile in its tracks.
( sighs )
Uh-oh.
It might fall off.
- Crap. - What, sweetie?
It came off.
Emily: We're at 47 minutes, just to give you a heads up.
Liam: The entire front came off.
This missile is taking longer than I'd like.
There's less than one hour left
and we don't have a wall behind our missile,
which makes me really nervous.
Emily: I'm sorry. I know you'll get it back on.
Liam: I don't know.
Liam: There's less than one hour left
and we don't have a wall behind our missile,
which makes me really nervous.
Emily: I'm sorry. I know you'll get it back on.
Liam: I don't know.
Okay, finally. Finally in place.
So, Will, what are the issues with shooting in the multiverse?
The main issue with shooting in the multiverse
is having the right brick and knowing where it is.
- Yeah. Hmm. - It could be anywhere.
- It could be here. - This isn't it.
It's not up here on the minifig wall.
Sometimes it's right here.
But more often than not, it's right here.
Of course.
All of me are getting paid, right?
- You need another row of teeth. - I know.
Can you go and see if we have those?
Stakes are really high.
But I think we've got too much there now.
Will: The teams are nervous.
Nobody wants to get sent home,
so who are the teams right now at this stage
that you think are really embracing this challenge?
Jamie: Brendan and Greg have actually a really full concept right now.
They've got the backdrop,
they've got the details in the front,
and they already had their main character in position.
Yep, that's pretty much perfect.
Put it down?
Dave and Emily are listening to what we're saying.
They're building a backdrop, they're adding some more details,
and those teeth are looking great.
- Jamie: Yeah, menacing. - Will: The teeth are looking good.
Where's Drax? Where's his stand?
As we're getting closer to the finale, the stakes are getting higher.
There's not a lot of space in the middle to surf by anymore.
You're either in the top or the bottom.
And if you're not in the top, you might go home.
- What if we hung him? - Ooh, I like that.
Nick: Making sure that we got the placement of Shang-Chi right,
I think is probably the most crucial part of our entire build.
I mean, obviously, there's gonna be a black line
- visible against the white there, but... - Yeah.
- I feel like it's about the best we could ask for. - Okay.
It kind of makes sense that we can take advantage of this space
that's way above our build that you're not gonna see in the final scene
and that can help kind of put Shang-Chi in the perfect place
with the least amount of distraction.
It's really funny the way that this is like-- he's suspended,
but I do think it's the best, best way, right?
Time will tell whether or not, you know, the judges are cool with it.
- Dave: How's that? - Yeah, that's good. Doesn't look terrible.
What I was going for!
- Not terrible. - Not terrible!
There's an extra light sitting here.
I'll tell you what, Liam, we're gonna run out of time
if we don't focus on getting the sky up right now.
Liam: Yeah, let's do the sky.
We'll have to finish this whole sky wall.
There's too much to do.
I don't know how the sky goes together though.
- I can tell you if you-- - It's too late.
No, no. We need to finish this.
But we are gonna work as fast as we can
and see if we can't work some magic.
- We're gonna push through the end. - Mm-hmm.
Somehow these are off.
There's a medium sized one in between, unfortunately.
Why did you use that down there? We didn't need it.
- I'm so sorry. - We needed a regular one down there.
I know Emily is struggling right now,
and I really feel for them,
but time management has not been their strong suit
- this entire competition. - Jamie: Yeah.
Amy: They spent too long with that missile,
and they never estimated how much time it would take for that huge backdrop.
And it's a such a shame because we never wanna see teams with unfinished builds.
We always wanna judge them on their best work.
So I really feel for them right now.
- Jamie: Yeah. - Crap.
This isn't enough time.
I feel like we should double check--
No, no, no. There's no time to double check.
- Sorry. - Okay.
Are you done?
- Yeah. - Okay.
You want to put one under there too?
No, I think that one just made it.
- Okay. - If you step back, right,
does it feel almost too busy?
There, Brendan, I cleaned it up.
- Brendan: Yeah, it's better. - Liam: Where do these go?
Emily: Honey, take a deep breath.
Where do these-- we have ten minutes.
Take a deep breath. I know, I know.
But panicking doesn't help.
- I can't watch. - I can't either.
Emily: The hard thing at this point is as much as we wanna see
another team do something epically wrong
so that we're not in the bottom,
you don't wanna see any of your friends fail,
and it's really hard to watch.
They're putting pieces on. They're falling off.
They can't get things lined up. You can see them just panicking.
You can see the heartbreak in their faces as they're doing it.
I literally-- I had to turn my back. I can't watch.
See? It's off slightly. Look. There aren't enough panels.
They don't have enough panels.
Jamie: This is the closest we've ever seen them cut it.
You gotta be kidding me. Ugh.
In the past when we were in a time crunch,
we had the Golden Brick, so we were safe.
This time we don't have anything.
- One minute left! - Oh, my gosh.
Put your finishing touches on your scene.
The details are everything!
- Oh. - Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
- It's, like, not attached. - ( muttering )
Yeah, that does it for me.
I need you to come and hold this.
Emily: Where? From which side?
Liam: From this side.
- From this side. - Back? Back?
No, the front. The front.
Emily: The front is...
Okay, what am I holding?
- This is so close. - Oh, no.
Five, four, three...
Come fix this, fix this. Come, come--
- Two... - No, come on! Come on!
One!
- Okay, what am I holding? - Oh, my God.
I don't know where to put it back on.
I don't know what fell off.
Emily: I don't know which size.
Five, four, three...
Liam, come and fix this. Fix this. Come, come--
- One! Time's up! - No, come on! Come on!
- Bricks down. - What came off?
- This just-- I bumped it off. - Just let go. Just let go.
- Oh, they let it go. - So close.
Look at Emily and Liam, though. They're disappointed.
Yeah, they are disappointed.
Dave: You guys are good. You guys are good.
I'm upset that we didn't get as much done as I would've liked.
( groans )
But we have a finished missile.
We have Captain Marvel there surrounded by her halo.
We've got all the main points,
and we're really hoping that the Brickmasters
will take that all into account.
So this week, you've brought
the most memorable Marvel scenes to life.
Now, the Brickmasters are gonna take a look
at each of your builds to decide who heroically finished on top
and who falls victim to the Snap.
Which means we will be sending one team home.
Now before I throw it over to the Brickmasters,
Brendan and Greg, let's get into your origin story here.
For the past two challenges, you have shown
Bruce Banner-like restraint
and haven't played the Golden Brick.
Now, as per the Golden Brick rules,
it's time to turn in the Golden Brick.
( shudders )
Never toss it.
- Bye, Golden Brick. - All right, I shall place it
- respectfully in your hands. - Bye, Golden Brick.
Thank you. Ahh.
I will see you next season.
Brendan and Greg, you are safe from elimination today.
Dave and Emily, you're up first.
- Go get 'em, guys. - You got this.
All right, so tell us about your frozen in time MCU scene.
Dave: We got this action sequence
from "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2."
The Guardians are tasked with fighting off the Abilisk.
And the only way to kill the beast
is to cut his skin from the inside,
and so he's jumping into his mouth.
Wow. What a cool build.
I think one of my favorite parts
is where you've placed the character of Drax.
You've been so clever with that forced perspective
in using the layers to have the character
right at the front.
He really does look like he's about to leap into the mouth.
And then you've captured so much energy in the tentacles.
You've used the ball joints in there so that you can really
get that action and make it very dynamic.
Jamie: I also like that when you're doing teeth,
that you didn't just give us linear teeth that are all in a row.
You were actually very clever to use our ball joints
to create that rounded impression.
It's an incredible take on an iconic scene,
and all right, let's blow it up.
( gasping )
No, just kidding.
- JK, you guys. - We love blowing things up!
- We love blowing stuff up. - JK, JK.
- We'll blow it up after. - Great job, you two.
Emily: We're swimming in the big leagues now.
We've been in the top two for the last three out of the last four challenges.
Sure, but guess who's never won a challenge.
We're doing good. It's our turn to win one.
Stephen and Stephen, you're up.
Stephen: We received a scene
from "Dr. Strange in the Multiverse of Madness."
Dr. Strange is protecting America Chavez
from a bus being thrown at them from a one-eyed monster.
What Dr. Strange does is creates
a mystical sawblade of sorts that saws the bus in half,
creating a bunch of sparks that fly around them.
And this falls away to the side, so it leaves them unharmed.
Your love of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is on full display here.
This is a really gorgeous model with so much depth and detail.
I like that you actually have that bus perfectly suspended above the ground,
which is really important, because most of your image
is that spinning blade right in the foreground,
and you've really tried to bring some attention to it.
But you've also given us a backdrop.
You've actually tried to show additional buildings behind the scenes,
which is very much like a Hollywood movie set would be,
and it's really great to see how you did it
in a really effective way.
- Great job, you two. - Good job.
Okay, Brendan and Greg,
tell us about your frozen in time MCU scene.
Greg: The scene that we have is from "Thor: Ragnarok."
Thor unlocks his lightning powers,
and he comes flying away from the castle
down onto the rainbow bridge
to take on and ultimately destroy
the rest of Hela's undead army.
You guys approached this challenge like a fine science.
What it allowed you to do is perfectly capture
the image you were given
with everything in exactly the right place.
I think where I would push you guys a little bit
is on the mosaic sky in the background.
I think it slightly distracts from the rest of the scene.
I would've toned down some of the colors,
and I would've mixed some tiles in there as well,
so that when you do have those studs showing,
they really give the fluffiness an effect and have more impact.
But overall, I think you have done a really great job, and it's a fantastic scene.
- Thanks. - Because you played the Golden Brick,
you're safe from elimination.
- Great job, you two. - Thank you.
Okay, Nick and Stacey, you're up.
Stacey: The scene we chose is from the movie
"Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings"
where is he fighting Dweller-in-Darkness.
So we wanted to focus on capturing the main monster,
the shaping of the tongue,
making sure there were all those teeth in there
that look really, really scary and frightening.
And then of course capturing the action
of Shang-Chi himself leaping into the air
ready to strike the final blow at the enemy.
You had a wonderfully dynamic scene
with lots of environmental movement all around.
One of my favorite parts is probably that impossible
hanging white wave crest coming off the background.
It's really well supported,
but looks totally impossible to do.
One of my biggest challenges with this model
is the negative space.
I can actually see the background,
and it distracts from the actual model that you've made.
- Thank you. - I'm definitely nervous that we don't stand as strongly
- as I would've thought from this build. - Yeah.
Emily and Liam, you're up.
We're hearing feedback on others' builds,
and it's really hard to tell how this is going to go.
I'm so, so stressed out.
I'm panicking here.
Emily and Liam, you're up.
All right, we got this.
Tell us about your frozen in time MCU scene.
Liam: Captain Marvel takes on Ronan's fleet
and stops this missile midair.
Emily: We worked really hard to come up with a structure
to cantilever out the spaceship and get the angle just right,
and then have Captain Marvel
attached to the nose of the missile.
I know that you guys were really working against the clock on this one
with a race to get it finished.
But I think you have done a fab job,
and I think the overall effect
you have in that missile is really strong.
But the biggest wow for me
has to be the glow you have on the inside.
I love that blue glowing light in there,
which is so predominant.
But I think it feels a little bit unfinished
that you have this line at the top.
Jamie: And I also would've really loved
to have seen the same energy
that you have on the inside of your missile to go out the back.
That nice exhaust coming out
should've been much more spectacular.
Great job, you two.
Thank you.
With this one, it's very clear what we had to do.
We just didn't do it fast enough.
Maybe there is a little bit of hope there.
Maybe we will squeeze by on this one
and then be able to show them our best in the next challenge.
Will: Brickmaster Amy?
Today you gave us some spectacular scenes
that really captured the energy
of the Marvel Cinematic Universe,
but there were two scenes that really stood out above the rest.
The first team I'd like to call forward...
...is...
Dave and Emily.
- Ooh! - Nice.
- Let's go! - Yay!
- Top two, baby! - Ooh! Top two again.
Dave: You know, I hope we win this one.
We're the only team that hasn't won one. It's a little annoying.
And the second team I'd like to call forward is...
Stephen and Stephen.
( muted chatter )
What was about Dave and Emily's frozen in time scene
that earned them a spot in the top two?
You guys had a great scene.
We love your Abilisk and the fact that you actually
had some nice sculpting ability on there.
But you also just captured the energy of this scene.
This was really brought to life in a spectacular way.
Stephen and Stephen, you really captured that snapshot
of the scene we were looking for,
and your love for the Marvel Cinematic Universe just shone through.
You gave us scene that was full of chaos and great details.
Nice.
Who won this week's MCU frozen in time challenge?
This was another really tough decision,
but the team that just edged it to the top
in this challenge is...
- Stephen and Stephen. - Dude.
Oh! Aw, what is this?
I am so pumped right now.
You have no idea how excited I am.
It has been a long time since we've won a challenge,
and it's fantastic to be back on top,
especially for something that means so much to us.
Now, unfortunately, every battle that has a winner
also has a loser.
- Brickmaster Jamie? - The first team that I'd like to call forward
that's in the bottom is...
Emily and Liam.
And the second team in the bottom is...
Nick and Stacey.
Emily and Liam, you had one of the cleanest scenes to recreate,
which meant that all of those parts had to be beautifully made.
And you actually did give us
some really nice light-sculpting.
Unfortunately, the finishing touches just weren't there.
Nick and Stacey, that wave really was gorgeous,
but I think where it was so strong,
it showed up some of the other flaws in your build.
And we're at the stage in the competition
where we are really nitpicking at every tiny detail.
Brickmasters, this is a tough one.
For one team, their story ends here.
Who's it gonna be?
This is a tough one for me.
You're both great teams,
and I don't wanna see either of you go home.
But one team does have to go home.
So the team I need to send home today is...
Emily and Liam.
You guys have given us some absolutely incredible builds,
and I know that you're gonna inspire
many more parent and child combinations in future years
because you really have brought so much to this competition.
Thank you.
Liam, I've had a front row seat to what a great kid you are
and what a great son you are,
and it's such a great example of a relationship with your mom.
Emily: Aww.
So true. Thank you.
You've been an incredible addition to "Lego Masters."
We've been honored to have you.
To come here and spend this time with my mom
and with all these amazing builders here
and learn from the masters and--
...it's really been such an incredible experience.
Emily: I never would've thought
when Liam was a child playing with Lego
that we would end up here one day,
and I'm just so honored that he invited me to be his teammate
and have so much fun.
- Thank you. - Liam: Thank you.
Sadly, your "Lego Masters" journey has come to an end.
Please turn in your minifigs and say good-bye.
- Thank you. - Liam: Thank you.
Emily: I was really hoping we would be able
to hang in there longer,
but I am so glad we've had this opportunity.
( muted chatter )
Being here with my mom hopefully shows you can do
amazing stuff with your parents.
You did amazing. You did amazing.
Well, it has been such an honor to build by your side.
- I'm so grateful. - Me too.
( whispers ) Bye! Thank you.
I love you so much.
Will: Next week...
Jeff Gordon, what are you doing here?
...buckle your seatbelts.
- Wow! - A real pit crew!
We're holding the ultimate Lego race!
You'll be pairing up to build your very own NASCAR race car.
Stephen: This season's already had lots of twists and turns.
The stakes on this have never been higher.
Start your engines.
- Get out of my way. - Faster!
I'm getting dizzy watching this.
- ( screaming ) - Her tire came off!
