MK isn't anything like Wokong

Unlike the monkey king, MK cares for his friends and people around him

Remember kids, say your plans out loud so you know if they sound stupid.

“Don’t you realize you’re hurting the people who care about you the most?!” Honestly I love Mei in this scene, she really got left in the dark about the samadhi fire thing and can’t blame her anger

[Quinntus]

“This is the first time I said it out loud.”

Once again, Sun Wukong’s greatest enemy was his lack of impulse control.

The golden cicada flying in during Tang's explaination was so good

[spectator]

Also during the Spider Queen special episode, when the city was attacked, Mk responded immediately with something like; "The city is in danger!" while Monkey King said; "Oh no the fireworks!". Monkey King does care about protecting people but it's not his priority it seems.

2:35 this is a real powerful shot. that pan to SWK when MK says "I'd never abandon her when she needs me" tells everything about what he KNOWS he did to Macaque

[Stew]

The animation, voice acting, and dialogue are perfect. A lego show did not have to go this hard.

This is kind of what makes Wukong in this series interesting. Everyone holds him up as this hero, and even he might see himself as such, but that doesn't make him one.
Even in his legends, he's as much a trouble maker as he is a saviour. In the Amnesia Rules episode, he even seems aware that he'd make a terrible mentor.
But here he is, having taken on a leadership role. He's a mentor to MK. He's taken all these people on as his own responsibility.
And he's bad at it.
He's confronted with his mistake, and having to come to terms with that. That, even immortal and ancient as he is, his actions have consequences.

That little look he gives Macaque speaks volumes. MK would never abandon his best friend. Would Wukong do the same? Maybe he doesn't know.

Monkey King DOES care about his friends. But his oldest friends are gone now. And he is still learning to let new people in.

Especially since he keeps making mistakes that wind up hurting those around him.

He knows that he has been cocky in the past. That's why he is trying to protect everyone. Plus, the Monkey King started his journey on his own. Hatched from a stone with no parents or people to teach him how to control his powers. All he had was himself at the start and his self-confidence. He eventually got instructors to teach him how to do all the amazing things he can, but that wasn't until he was almost fully grown.

Monkey King knows that he has hurt people who were close to him. So he is distancing himself from others to prevent any more harm from coming others way.

“That’s… NOT a good plan” gets me everytime

[NXT_u]

Macaque does care but because of his pride and stuff he always manages to ruin a relationship. which is why he doesn't like getting too close to ppl now.

[alyssaherrera]

I can't get over how even in such a horrible situation, even in the trenches of fear and betrayal, Mei is almost more angry at Sun Wulong for constantly putting MK in danger than her.

[infiniteoctopaw]

I like that it was Tang who stopped Monkey King from killing Macaque.

[Racoonscoffee]

The scene is about Mei but everyone keeps talking about literally anything but Mei, lol

[VIPR]

If you put on captions tang says “I mean yeah my cat forced me to do it” in stead of macaque

[Tjmistery-jg]

Mai really cares for Mk calling Wukong out for getting him nearly killed countless times without any concern, remorse, or consideration on how it’s affecting him

[BlueRecRoom]

0:38 the scarab is i think meant to be the main protagoniste in the journey to the west

[jamestolbert]

1:59 2:02 that was your plan?! THATS A TERRIBLE PLAN!!

[jamestolbert]

1:15 this reminds me of something. “Theirs a reason why Harry can talk to snakes. Theirs a reason why he can look into Voldemort’s mind. A part of Voldemort LIVES inside him.”

[boomgirlbucko]

0:27 I can't stop repeating this part. That high pitched noise Macaque made was so hot-

Side Note: Wukong, my guy, beating up Macaque isn't gonna solve anything. The damage has already been done.
