Scenario where wukong somehow gets freed from the scroll but it costs his everything, he comes home to just crumble but there’s an uninvited guest in his house and he breaks under the weight of his guilt
So Macaque and Wukong might actually be scared of MK.
Or they're at least very wary of him right now.
This is probably a stretch but, in the first gif, right after MK's shockwave pushed him back a little, Wukong hesitated to come close to him. He even stuttered a bit when talking to him.
"I'm sorry I made you wait so long, bud. B-but it's fine. You look like you're doing fine!"
He tried to calm him down before he got close to him.
In fact, for the first few moments before Mei and the rest of the gang showed up, Wukong kept his distance.
In Macaque's case, he started off his interaction with MK by taunting him/Wukong. But the second MK started glitching again, Macaque braced for an attack, and then immediately switched to trying to cheer him up.
While Macaque is more good than bad at this point, he's still focused on self-preservation I'm assuming. What if Macaque backed off not because he felt bad for MK initially but because he felt MK's power and didn't want to be on the receiving end of it?
Even Peng is wary of him.
"We're just going to leave this kid out here? With that power?"
-----------
Again all of this might be a stretch and I'm probably reading way to much into it but MK is an enigma.
Enemies to lover confirm for Princess Iron Fan and Demon Bull King.
Making Red Son a child of both demon and heaven descent. Which is why he has such a hard time controlling his powers because no other being could have ever survived such divine power.
Lego Monkie kid season 4 was amazing. I just finished it and it was mwah. Well written, heartbreaking and beautiful. But there one thing that's been eating me and maybe others since then
Who is this guy. And who is the person Azure is a "Pawn" for
Well. AND HEAR ME OUT HERE.
I think it's Erlang Shen
Lemme explain.
Erlang doesn't like the Jade emperor. That's a known fact. He shares Azure Lions ideology. Erlang has motive to want the jade emperor gone. And maybe he KNEW that Azure would free his brother's and be able to defeat the emperor while he couldn't. It makes sense.
There's more.
In this scene we don't see Erlangs face. Bit suspicious no? He could be giving a wink, a smile, a sign, anything. We don't know.
Also the empty chair. For who?
Im assuming that Erlang was in cahoots with the brothers for a while. There matching ideologies could mean he was also a part of the group. Maybe the chair is for him? Why would they set up an extra chair for no reason if it's just them?
Also the chair is right next to Azure. SUSPICIOUS
Also the outfits are VERY similar. With the long jacket and shoulder guards connected to it with an extra piece in the middle
All these could be stretches and maybe I'm thinking WAYYY too deep into this but I 100% believe Erlang is the big bad that Azure is a "Pawn" for, like the Jade Emperor said.
"You're a pawn in somebody else's game"
I THINK ITS ERLANG.
And I'll be thinking this until I'm proven wrong. But I could always be because it's just a theory.
This theory was made up by me and @cusimmrbrightside
Very dumb Spicynoodles or Chimerashipping AU/ fic prompt where DBK figures out Red is in love way before anyone else.
DBK seeing MK or Mei and MK beat Red Son, and gets flashbacks to attacking heaven and getting his ass kicked by PIF and is just like ‘Oh FUCK where going to SWK as an in law oh god’
Just like Red going through crisis of betraying family for love and that his parents will be so angry, all the while DBK is just wondering ‘what’s taking Red so long to make a move? If his son gets rejected he is going to fucking destroy that entire city’
Bonus: PIF finding out
PIF: How can you be ok with him falling in love with those peasants marrying that simians successor?
DBK: I suppose because I can understand
PIF:...what?
DBK: Getting defeated and realizing that the person who has defeated you has stolen your heart, is not only the most powerful force you ever seen physically but has emotionally won the war in your heart in a single blow.
PIF:...
PIF: flattery will get you everywhere my love
PIF: I really did kick the shit out of you didn’t I
DBK: Oh gods you destroyed me pretty sure you were still doing it even when the battle was over.... how could I not fall hopelessly in love with you
Bonus Bonus:
RS: Mother Father I am in love.
DBK:...Yes we know
RS:...what?
PIF: your the last one to know darling by the way we have all the wedding preparations done so kidnap them quickly will you i don’t want Sun Wukong have time to try meddling with my seating chart.
