Really unpopular opinion that arose after rewatching season 3 and 4 of LMK, but it annoys me to no end that Macaque barely did anything to improve (hasn't even apologized to MK lol) and basically got no consequences for his actions and yet he still got his redemption served to him on a silver platter.

Not to mention how much the fandom sugarcoats what he did, but I can't really blame them because the show is kinda doing it by itself considering the other characters' reactions. Like, you mean to tell me that Mei, of all people, would gladly fight side by side with Macaque?

Actually, why is the entire group so… casual around him as if they didn't watch the mf beat the shit out of MK right in front of them?

Highlight to Mei and Pigsy cause they are the first ones to call out Wukong about his mistakes, and them doing that while also giving Macaque a pass after everything he did to them makes no sense.

And it annoys me even more because there were villains/antagonists who could have easily had a redemption arc but got killed off instead.

Also the same thing happened with the Demon Bull Family: They hurt and tried to kill MK and many lives were at risk because of them, but guess what? No consequences lmao they're all besties now.

Bit of a rant here but, I kinda HATE it when in fandom the shadowpeach fallout is either entirely Macaque or Wukong's fault. Because like, no. It's BOTH of their fault. They BOTH fucked up in different ways, and that's what makes shadowpeach so tragic. At the same time it's what makes it salvageable. They hurt each other while trying to protect each other and themselves. So now they have to explain themselves and communicate if they want to fix it. If it's just Wukong's fault for killing/betraying Macaque. Then Macaque has absolutely 0 reasons to justify giving him a second chance. If it's just Macaque's fault for going crazy and attacking Wukong/the people close to him. Then Wukong has no reason to let Macaque back into his life.

(Keep in mind this is fluffy happy shadowpeach if you wanna make them fucked up it's fiction go off then.)

Great Tang Rant (LMK)

Alright I need to get this off of my chest

I love LMK so much but they way they mischaracterize Tripitaka is atrocious. Literally his reincarnation (Mr.Tang) acts more like him then their representation of the tang monk.

Tripitaka has like three main character traits, being humble, reacting like a human being, and being to kind for his own good and LMK pulled a complete 180 on us and said “That’s Tripitaka for you, self righteous, eternally calm, and antisocial”

The only thing they got right about him is that he studied a lot, grew up in a monastery, and is a monk.

They didn’t even get his clothes right. he doesn’t wear the fancy robes because he finds them to ostentatious and bhudists have that whole thing about vanity. That is until he goes to the Thunder cloud monastery to collect the scrolls, which was the exact occasion it was given to him for. The only exception to that is the time he was asked to put it on by the leader of a small monastery and that ended with monks trying to burn him to death to steal his clothes so obviously he never did it again.

The worst part it that their representation of Tripitaka has lead to people genuinely believing that the character is abusive which is the farthest thing from the truth. Like yeah he used the tight hoop spell on Sun Wukong but only when he literally murdered someone. Also it wasn’t even his idea, Guanyin told him to do it and who was he to disregard the advice of a Bodhisattva. Seriously though, what punishment would you give a murder monkey who feels no remorse and would kill again? A slap on the wrist? Tripitaka is just doing his best to make sure that the journey ends with as little casualties as possible

Tangent aside, please if you like LMK then do your research on the actual pilgrims, they are all very cool and very different then they are depicted in the show

I WANNA STRANGLE THE LMK FANDOM SO BAD ISTG

WHY IS EVERYONE ASSUMING THE WORST OF MK? THE LITERAL GOOD BOI MC? THE ONE WHO WANTS TO PROTECT HIS FRIENDS? THE ONE WHO WAS TERRIFIED OF BEING A HARBINGER? WHO STILL *IS* TERRIFIED OF BEING A HARBINGER?

"MK MIGHT DIE" "MEI MIGHT KILL MK" "MK IS GONNA GO FERAL AND HARM HIS FRIENDS" "MK THIS" "MK THAT"

I AM THIS CLOSE TO STEALING ALL YOUR KNEECAPS

HOW ABOUT THIS, HOW ABOUT THAT WE HAVE AT LEAST A TAD BIT OF FAITH IN, YOU KNOW, THE LITERAL PROTAGONIST WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE ROUTING FOR??

IDC ABOUT "BWUT, BWUT AWNGST-" BC LIKE- IT'S BEEN WAAAY TOO MUCH. I'M NOT SAYING HE WON'T GO FERAL HE MOST LIKELY WILL BUT AT LEAST HAVE SOME FAITH IN HIS FRIENDS, HIS FAMILY, HIS MENTOR, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY HIMSELF THAT HE'LL GET BACK UP.

I WANT WHOLESOME FERAL MONKEY HEADCANONS, I WANNA SEE MORE PPL ASSUME THE GOOD IN MK INSTEAD OF THE BAD AND ACTUALLY STAY ACCURATE TO HIS CHARACTER AND APPRECIATE SAID CHARACTER, IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK??

One of my favorite things about Macaque comparing himself to the moon and Sun Wukong to the sun is he litteraly called out his obsession.

Okay so I've noticed that people tend to draw fanart where WUKONG is the chaser and is looking to start the relationship between him and Macaque back up again. Nothing wrong with this by the way, it's completely fine.

Something I find REALLY funny though is that it isn't like this at all in the show. If Macaque wants to compare himself to the moon then he better be ready to follow that sun cause that's what the moon does. Like it doesn't reverse. The sun won't follow the moon, it's not possible (as far as I'm aware.)

Like it is ALWAYS Macaque doing the chasing and never Wukong. When we first meet Macaque, during the Lady Bone Demon season, when Macaque helped Mk save Wukong from the scroll (when he didn't have to. He's such a simp.)

I think we as a fandom should start drawing more Macaque art where he's acting like he does in canon, like a lost, aggressive puppy.

I love calling out that Macaque is a simp. It's so fun.

Asks are always open, art is always here, commissions are open, do not try and kill people so you can have the possibility to bang your ex again.

For the sake and lack of Mayor content, I’ll be writing some of [LMK] Mayor x Reader Dating HCs for the lovers and fans of Mayor.

Warnings: Strong Language in some parts. I do deeply apologize if I’m being too non-canonical with his character. And a lot, I mean, A LOT of jumping around with topics.

[LMK] Mayor x Reader Dating HCs (SFW)

-What else do I need to say about this man? He’s an absolute gentleman. He’s just a good old-fashioned man.

-Nicknames for you? “You look absolutely magnificent as usual, darling.” “Need my assistance, my dear?” “Quite clever of you, love.” “You’re quite adorable, my beloved.”

-The Mayor probably has had a few past romantic relationships during his chief era so he has the experience of being within a romantic relationship.

-When both of you plan a date whether it’s going to a luxurious restaurant, a simple walk in the park or even a picnic with the most beautiful view of the city of Megalopolis. He always has a bouquet of flowers in his hand, awaiting for you. He may as well buy you small gifts, chocolate or whatever you take interest in.

-Giving him a gift…He doesn’t care what you give him. He will cherish whatever you give him until he perishes. Imagine you give him flowers, he will keep those flowers alive somehow. Don’t question it. He always admired your gifts, it gives him a reminder of you whenever you’re not with him.

-He definitely would have a picture of you on his desk that he’ll look at, but he prefers you at his side rather than a motionless picture.

-He’s usually busy majority of the time, serving for Lady Bone Demon or maintaining the control of Megalopolis as mayor. BUT he makes up for it. Taking you out or you coming by just to hang out with you! (Along with flowers and gifts, aha)

-Teases verbally, physically and compliments, do I need to say more? You might be walking on the side walk together, and suddenly, he gently picks up your hand and kisses it. He doesn’t care about your looks, he loves the way just as you truly are.

“I absolutely love you so much, my love.”

“This is the 15th time you’ve said that within 1 hour, but I love you too.” :)

-He loves PDA. You guys would be seen walking together hand in hand or he might just kiss you randomly before he disappears with a ‘POOF!’ If you’re someone who isn’t fond of PDA, no worries! He’ll respect your boundaries by all means.

-You’d get more emotions from him than his signature creepy-ass smile that puts on display. He trusts you after all! Sometimes when you visit him, his eyes light up. Practically twinkling and delighted at the sight of your presence.

-When you guys cuddle…goodness. Majority of the time, he’s big spoon. He just loves the feeling of his arms wrapped around your figure. Big or small, tall or short, it doesn’t matter. This brings him a sense of not only comfort but him being able to have you protected within his arms.

-Speaking of being protective, did I mention possessiveness? No? Alrighty. When you leave him to get something or run an errand, he tends to worry. You’ve been gone for…what? Like 8 minutes? Too bad, he’s going out there within the city in search of you to be sure you’re safe and sound.

-If someone ever flirts with you and he does take notice and he’s either going to stand there menacing with his signature smile or he’s gonna make sure they never see the light of day ever agai- (Really depends on his mood or how that ‘someone’ acts towards you) He may as well perform a heated make-out session with you right there and then. Overall, he’s laidback and as I’ve said before, he trusts you. Don’t try to break it.

-Whenever you rant or vent to him, he’s definitely all on ears for you. After all, he adores it when you’re happy. He would comfort you whenever you’re having a bad day, anything that would brighten your mood so he could see that beautiful smile on your face.

-When both of you go shopping…If you stare something at the shop’s display window or something on the shelf for more than 5 seconds, he’s buying that for you. No excuses. Being the mayor does have benefits after all, he doesn’t give a shit if you want something that’s absolutely expensive. He’ll buy it just for you.

-Um…Amazing cook?? This motherfucker will literally cook up anything you desire within seconds. You just stand there gawking at him when he has the dish in his hands, perfection. If you ever cook for him, he practically is delighted with glee and just internally melts just by the caring gesture. If both of you don’t feel like cooking? Take-out it is. He would always let you choose whatever you want to order as long as you’re happy.

-If you’re ever sick? Never fear! Your dear Mayor is here! Immediately would cook a dish that would help the process of you feeling better again. Along with cuddles and kisses- If you need help while you’re in bed, your Mayor is already along your bedside to aid you. Extra blanket? Coming right up! Water? Already in hand! I don’t even think he would catch a sickness, it’s very rare for him to be sick in fact.

“Mayor, you’re literally gonna get sick because of me. Please, I’m already grateful for all that you’ve done. I wouldn’t want you catching my sickness because you want cuddles-”

“So? I don’t see the problem. No more excuses nor any no’s, my dear.”

-Definitely the type to sneak up behind you. He loves to see your reactions! It amuses him very much especially when he surprises you with kisses or even just the slightest touch. Although..if you try sneak up behind him, he knows, but he’ll act oblivious.

“BOO! Didn’t expect that, did you?”

“My, my, you’re full of surprises, aren’t you?”

-Every time, he always uses an exaggerated loving tone, he’s absolute lovesick with you, no doubt. Someone save LBD with his fucking rants about you nonstop.

-Overall? Absolute Boyfriend/Husband Material. <3

Do you think that Redson made his little foodstall because he saw how much pigsy and MK got along in their noodle shop and now he wants to make a little street food shop with his dad so he can experience the love that MK got in the noodle shop?

I like LMK, but I will admit some of their writing decisions are a bit... atrocious. Don't get me wrong, I love the story and characters, but sometimes I wonder what is the point of the changes they make. The samadhi fire being one of them.

It is honestly one of the most useless and confusing change I have ever seen with no justification. I am going to break it down to 3 reasons why I believe this.

Nothing needed to be changed.

This is one of my biggest gripe with this change is that it doesn't even NEEDED to be changed. The Samadhi fire could still have been sealed without making Redson a newborn (thus removing the whole section where he was forced to become a disciple of Guanyin and being the whole reason why both the Demon Bull King and his brother who guarded the abortion water was angry at Wukong). It is as simple as having it be Guanyin who ordered it. At this point Redboy was Guanyin's responsibility, so why not have her ask the pilgrims to do the ritual. Both the sealing and Redson becoming a disciple can co-exist it isn't something mutually exclusive.

2. Reduces one of Redson's main character trait and takes away exploration of a complex relationship

Unlike in the show, Redson wasn't born with the Samadhi fire, he worked for it. Which outside of his devotion for his parent's admiration, isn't really explored that much. He is a very strong character in book (he caused Wukong to have a breakdown and even made him to NEED Guanyin's help in handling him, the same Sun Wukong who only the Buddha was able to stop during his havoc in heaven) and it feels a bit disappointing to see him be reduced so much in the show.

The Samadhi fire being sealed when he was older and more aware is such an interesting concept as the shift of strength would always be something to be hanged over for Redson. It would be like taking away Wukong's shapeshifting, like sure Wukong can still do many things, but he is significantly weakened. This goes back to Redson's main trait, HE IS A HARDWORKER, in the show he engineers a lot, building many bull clones and used a machine to help take Wukong's staff out. It makes sense for him to search for alternatives to help him match his previous strength or work around the issues the sealing have given him. I will be honest Redson is an overachiever, he constantly works hard on being number 1 in everything he does, he is not the type of character would have this stop him.

Also it makes such a good exploration of the complex family dynamic of the bull family. To DBK and PIF this would obviously have been seen as a bad thing ("not only did Wukong made his son a slave of Guanyin and beat him up, but he even help took away his power!" <- biased) they have every right to be angry and might even dabble a bit of behaviour that parents with disabled child would react (ie. grieving his past self and treating this something pitiful) which would definitely not help with Redson's overachieving behaviour which honestly gives more reasons why he is like that. The dinner scene would make a good moment to show the contrast between Redson and his parents because they do love each other, but the way his parents express it is harmful (they are trying at least) they would have been too busy being upset to actually think to consider Redson's own views of the situation. Like I can definitely hear DBK talking about Redson in his younger years as an unstoppable force who could conquer the world if he wanted to, until Guanyin came around and forced him to weakened out of fear and jealousy (cough cough biased narrator).

3. confuses the story

I don't feel as if I need to explain this one, but it really does confuse the story a bit. If it wasn't because the Redson situation, why did they fight in the first place? What happened in between sealing the Samadhi fire and placing DBK under a mountain? The show never explained that and juging how DBK's relationship with Wukong is constantly overshadowed in the show in favour of SEM I doubt we will ever know.

Something to tell fans.

LMK is not gonna follow JTTW to a script.

If it did then the show would be rated 18+ instead.

It’s a cartoon directed for kids and considering China’s very STRICT cartoon censorship which BANNED bloody, vulgar and violent cartoons from being aired, meaning you need to take creative liberties in order to sustain the cartoon you’re making.

Especially since LMK is being broadcasted in CHINA first. (Since it is a sort of adaptation/fanfiction of the original legend)

I’ve seen people get SO mad at Macaque’s inaccuracy and shit, but what about, Wukong, Sha Wujing, Zhu Bajie, Tang Sanzang, Ao Lie, Red Son, DBK, Princess Iron Fan and a bunch of different villains that aren’t completely accurate to the original?

Wukong was a murderer.

Sha Wujing ate Tripitaka’s last Nine Lives yet is still friendly with them.

Zhu Bajie was more than a flirt, he was straight up a pervert.

Tang Sanzang was a pathetic human whose only character development was him not falling off his horse every 3 seconds and a pathetic human who always got kidnapped that at this point the a fly could kidnap him.

Ao Lie was…not really a very impactful character since he doesn’t do much in the story?

Red Son was an adult when he met Wukong, not a child and he kidnapped Tripitaka so that he and DBK would eat him.

I don’t know if OSP is right, but apparently DBK and Iron Fan are divorced. And PIF was a more redeemable character.

DBK loves Red Son to the point he always remembered when his birthday was.

LBD wasn’t powerful as shit and she sure as hell didn’t have a henchman.

And The Camel Ridge Trio weren’t even sworn brothers with Wukong, the only one accurate was DBK. Macaque also wasn’t a sworn brother, that was a theory made by someone else years after the book was published.

And with the Camel Ridge Trio, Azure wasn’t the leader, it was Peng.

Obviously the show’s inaccurate to the original, what the hell did you expect with Macaque?!

I was talking to my Dad about Monkey King (like just the character in general, no one specific version)

My mind went to Monkey Kid cause duh. While my Dad’s went to older movies and shows.

But then my Dad said “Yeah Monkey King, Sun Goku.”

I asked if he meant Sun Wukong and he was confused.

After talking and some googling I figured it out

Wukong is the Chinese and Goku is the Japanese version of the Monkey King.

Then my dad brought up Dragon Ball. (I was absolutely obsessed with the show when I was little)

Now I can’t look at it the same knowing that Goku is (at least based on) the Monkey Kong. With his power pole and nimbus and monkey tail and powers.

I guess picking Sean Schemmel to voice act for both of them was smart (and really clever!)

Monkey Cop rant

I find the cannon existence of Monkey Cop in LMK so funny because Sun Wukong was the most anti-establishment, ACAB, F the police, anti-government guy before the police were even a thing in China. He’s literally the opposite of a cop, a well known criminal who’s anti-discrimination.

and yet in a way it fits. Because monkey cop isn’t Sun Wukong it’s what most mortals thought the elusive Monkey King was like. MK thought Monkey King was this cool super hero who beat up bad guys, always saved the day, and did no wrong despite his cheeky rebellious demeanor. And this is partly because he hasn’t read journey to the west but partly because of how people in power will often change a myth to fit their ideals.

The many iterations of Nezha come to mind, mainly the ones that interpret Nezha giving his body to his parents as the ultimate act of filial piety when more likely it was originally a way of cutting ties (think giving back a birthday gift) based on how Nezha later gets in a huge fight with his father and tries to kill him. The story was changed to fit the moral of filial piety and Confucianism. Nezha is willing to give everything to his parents including his own body, so should you. Monkey King is a cop and he’s super cool and respectable, cops are super cool, respect cops.

Or I’m reading to far into this and the LMK crew just wanted a stupid action movie series for Sun Wukong.

#lego monkie kid #lmk #lmk sun wukong #lmk mk #lmk monkey king #sun wukong #Lmk monkey cop #lmk rant #Sun Wukong says ACAB #Sun Wukong also has been around longer than Police in China #at least according to google.#If anyone has better sources please hand them over this stuff is very interesting #Sun wukong has committed war crimes #And other crimes #Just a lot of crimes
