I don't know why but my tears came out while watching this even tho I'm not the generation played with these 80s~90s Lego space sets I was born in 2006
Blacktron was an extension to the classic space theme, it was designed to make bad guys for more fun. I personally believe the space theme allowed more creativity before Blacktron. That’s because space by itself needed you to make the harsh environment the enemy. Idk what you meant in the last part tho.
