SPOILERS FOR LEGOMONKIEKID SEASON 4

Also lmao honestly I cannot stop thinking about Azure saying that after he like killed the Jade Emporer and took his place he would let Wukong out and try to change his mind and make him see reason because like ...wtf does that mean?? Like I know it's possible he wasn't being truthful and he was actually never going to let him out but the way he seemed genuinely remorseful when SWKS scroll piece is broken makes me kinda think he was telling the truth?? Or atleast didn't like super hate SWK . But also I can't get over this plan like ... My dude was seriously gonna let Wukong out the scroll and ig just hope ?? He'd changed his mind?? Or ig hoped Wukong seeing the paradise would cause him join them again ?? Like I dunno I think it all in all implies that Azure really really wants Wukong to be a part of the world he creates, which also too me isn't adding up since he apparently believes that Wukong willingly stopped him from creating his paradise on Earth or something ?? I dunno either he's lying or he's just hella in love man idk

SPOILERS FOR LEGOMONKIEKID SEASON 4

DAMN CAN WE TALK ABOUT AZURE PLS?!? seriously I both love and hate him sm. He almost seems too good to be true in the sense that he genuinely seems to believe in his cause (like LBD) and believes his way is the only way (like LBD) but is obviously going about it the wrong way (like LBD) but unlike LBD he genuinely seems compassionate and kind BUT also simultaneously being cruel. I think the scene with DBK and his family is just peak representation of Azure lions character. His cause heavily suggests he's compassionate , but when DBK refuses to see it his way , he imprisons him and iron fan. NOT because he was once a demon who wanted to enslave the people Azure supposedly wants to protect ,or because he wanted to take over the WORLD , but because doesn't see eye to eye with him . I mean realistically he knew DBK wouldnt have stood against Azure and protect Heaven ( and probably wouldn't have even know about his plan if Azure himself hadn't told him.) ALSO just his hatred he has for PIF DESPITE the fact that she's no longer affiliated with Heaven and left heavens ranks to be with DBK. Also just him allowing Redson to get away just so all of Heaven could be waiting for their arrival and eventually gooping him all because he stood with Heaven (also can we talk about that scene like DAYUM.) Like dude you just gooped his parents OFC he's gonna stand against you !! Like characters like Azure are so conflicting because on one hand when he's talking I'm nodding my head like "yeah he kind has a point" but he's also clearly not a good dude despite the fact that his reason for fighting is genuinely such a good one. I dunno it almost feels like he's a solider fighting a war that's already over. He's a warrior people no longer need and that's why he's a bad guy? Like yes bad things still happen in the world but it's literally the modern age in LMK. People aren't as helpless as they used to be . if people get sick, they don't need to cry out to the heavens for help and wait on a miracle , they get up and take a trip to the drug store or go to the doctor. If someone's home burns down by the cruel twist of fate, they use their insurance , buy a new one , maybe even use machines too build a new one. Food , clothes ,housing , all mass produced and easily available (mostly anyway) I mean the city MK lives in canonically has a weather station that controls the weather so they can always have sunny beautiful days!! The people no longer need this antagonism , they don't need a "savior" to fight against heaven or create a "paradise" on Earth , because they already have one ! (Or close anyway lol), and that's why Azures plan is so unwelcome . (Also because it ends with the murder of the jade emporer but you get the gist) I dunno thats my take on it , regardless tho , Azure has my heart , but I also pray he gets his ass beat . Amen

IM DO SORRY TO ANYONE I SPILED THINGS TO I ACCIDENTALY DIDNT PUT A SPIULER WARNING BUT HERE IT IS NOW

S4 special spoiler warning

Me in school:

My god

are you seeing this shit

"every major baddie problem in the lmk universe is caused by SWK not dealing with his shit properly"

exept he dealt with all the shit and i'm tired of people ignoring it to paint him as an ignorant, uncaring bastard.

(very very minor s4 spoilers, so the cut)

Demon Bull King? Got his ass whooped and was sealed away for however long years it took for an entire ass megapolis to be built literally on top of him, causing absolutely no trouble to anyone whatsoever. Oh, and what sealed DBK? The staff. And if you'd care to know SWK outside of the LEGOverse, you'd realize how strong was SWK's resolve to seal DBK - keep him relatively safe, one might say - by using his trusty staff. The guy would literally die seven times over than let go of this thing.

Also people like, ignore the fact that canonically SWK stuck around the area (for the most part to stalk MK, but still), so he was literally there to deal with the DBK family if something went southwards? He didn't, because MK was able to hold the staff and the legend of the Monkie Kid then began.

(also zero antagonistic feelings towards DBK from SWK, like, whatsoever. i bet the dude actually wanted DBK to be free, cuz he felt bad abt it)

Macaque? In a morally gray manner, still very dealt with. SWK killed the dude. He was literally as dealt with as it can be. Or what, should SWK have predicted that after thousand upon thousand of years later a spirit (he dealt with too) would pull Mac out of Diyu? Yeah, I'd like to see that thought process.

SWK isn't omnipotent, he isn't even that far-thinking. Never was, actually. So holding that against him is like, very stupid. Especially because you don't do it to any other character in the show. 

Spider Queen? Wouldja look at that, also pretty much dealt with. We don't really know how exactly, but we know that she lost literally every ounce of power she had and had to resort to living in the sewers, prolly never to cause troubles ever again because, well, we never even heard of her until the special. SQ was pulled onto the scene by the Lady Bone Demon.

Which is, again, something SWK couldn't predict even if he tried.

And now into the fun part.

Lady Bone Demon? Was sealed away by Tripitaka and also didn't cause any trouble until DBK decided to use this freaky coffin he knew literally zero things about for his plans.

"But he should've killed LBD!!!"

He tried. Believe him he tried. This decision just wasn't his, and if you hold it against him and not Tripitaka, shame on you.

"He should have told the crew about LBD!"

He really couldn't have.

And people thinking that are blatantly ignoring SWK's character. Not that obnoxious fan favorite uncaring bastard one.

SWK deals with things on his own. That is just how he is, how he always was and he never learned to do it the other way around. If that's a fight, he'll do it, because he's damn strong. If it's to scout the mountain, he'll do it, because Bajie is a lazy ass motherfucker. If it's to find food for Trip, he'll do it, cuz he's fast and his eyes are awesome.

Same applies here.

LBD? Tried to kill her and Trip didn't let me -> Basically I didn't do the job right -> WTF I always do my job right, I am Sun Wukong hello???

It was, dare I say, a question to his pride, and SWK will forever be prideful. And when he acts on his pride, he does it with style and flare, in the most stupid way possible.

Hence all of the s2 off-screen investigation arc.

"Well, he should've told about the Samadhi rings!"

It would've endangered Mei, questioned his at this point in time very shaky authority and ability to handle shit, and prolly would've fucked Mei up a very whole lot.

You don't go and say to a person that they are a part of the most dangerous seal in the world and could die and destroy everything they love because you fucked up long time ago (again, very much jabbing at his mentality of 'Sun Wukong can do no bad job, and if he does he'll better fucking die trying to make it right').

Was his plan a shitty one? Obviously. Like, no question asked, it was a shit show of a plan. Very in character, though (SWK handles all the shit because he thinks he can).

And this little character arc of SWK not learning a damn thing results in him, oh golly you would not believe it, running off to do things on his own because he thinks he can handle it, because he's THE Sun Wukong who already handled this in the past.

Who woulda thought.

MINOR S4 SPOILERS START HERE

And the new addition to the baddie group, Azure Lion. Won't be addressing all 'SWK is a betraying bitch' because the show refuses to give us SWK's perspective and I hate it.

But you already know what I will say, because you know the truth. He was dealt with. Got his ass whooped and sealed away in the inky scroll. To be pulled back onto the scene by a third party that Wukong literally couldn't have known about.

See a pattern?

SWK deals with the shit, some unknown variable meddles in it, suddenly SWK is an incapable asshole who left the problems for the poor lmk crew to deal with.

MINOR S4 SPOILERS END HERE

Wukong did his job. Someone fucked him over by undoing his job. He tried to deal with it again the only way he knows how, but the solo play doesn't fly anymore, so he made it kinda worse.

He's not an unbearable, incapable asshole because of it.

And I'm tired of people not seeing this.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk, I am Sun Wukong Apologist till the day I die.

Have a nice day!
