# Violent LEGO Virals 'LEGO Black Ops' Crosses Call of Duty Carnage with LEGO Animation By Jordan M | Published 2011-01-01 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-black-ops References: [technolog.msnbc.msn](http://technolog.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2010/12/14/5648587-lego-black-ops-a-bloody-good-game-well-never-play) & [gameinformer](http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2010/12/13/lego-black-ops-is-gorier-than-the-game.aspx) Usually, when a popular movie or video game franchise becomes a blockbuster hit, it isn’t too long before a [LEGO](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-lego-group) adaptation follows, as presented by this LEGO Black Ops viral. From Star Wars and Indiana Jones, to Harry Potter and Pirates of the Caribbean, [LEGO game adaptations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-arcade-machine-set) have gone on to be wildly successful for years on end. Unfortunately however, not every movie or video game is deemed appropriate for official LEGO conversion. Animator Keshan imagined what a LEGO crossover of 'Call of Duty: Black Ops' might look like, resulting in this interesting short. Using stop motion and LEGO figurines armed to the teeth, his LEGO Black Ops [YouTube](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-dreamzzz) video envisions just what a LEGO version of the adrenaline charged, violence-packed smash-hit might look like. His film is fast, furious and funny, but also surprisingly indicative of how fun a LEGO Black Ops game would be. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.4/10 - Popularity: 6% | Activity: 88% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Internet](https://www.trendhunter.com/internet) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **LEGO Video Game Adaptations:** Opportunity for businesses to expand the distribution and diversity of LEGO video game adaptations for a wider audience. - **LEGO Stop-motion Animations:** Chance for businesses to monetize on the production of LEGO stop-motion animations of popular video game franchises. - **LEGO and Hyper-violence:** Potential for businesses to create innovative and unique hyper-violent LEGO toys and videogames. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Entertainment:** Opportunity for the entertainment industry to bring popular videogames to life through the production of colorful and humorous LEGO animation videos. - **Toy:** Opportunity for the toy industry to manufacture violent LEGO game and movie adaptation sets that would cater to a larger audience that enjoys these franchises. - **Gaming:** Chance for the gaming industry to expand the LEGO franchise across different gaming platforms such as mobile or PC platforms to gain wider market reach. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Multifunctional Game Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-lego-group.md) - [Witty Toy-Brand Horror Posters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/horror-poster.md) - [Toy Brick Reimagined Trailers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wicked-movie.md) - [Family-Friendly Survival Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-3.md) - [Video Game-Inspired LEGO Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunscreen-mist.md) - [Survival Crafting Metaverses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-fortnite.md) - [Gaming Fandom Activations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-code-break.md) - [Lego-Centric Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brick-my-world.md) - [Building Block Board Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-settlers-of-catan.md)
