2.5 Minutes and 1.5 Inches of Amazing Lego Badassery
I’m not sure if I can call “The Duel” here the greatest stop-motion Lego video of all time — after all, that insanely violent Captain America one was pretty great — but it’s certainly one of the best. Even if you don’t want to see a Lego minifigure slicing the shit out of hundreds of bizarre Lego opponents, I highly recommend watching it anyways just for the reveal of the adversary at the end. It — you know what, it does make “The Duel” the greatest stop-motion Lego video of all time. Deal with it. And infinite thanks to Ryan A. for the tip.
