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

    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.

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

    The scene is about Mei but everyone keeps talking about literally anything but Mei,lol
  • @infiniteoctopaw
    I like that it was Tang who stopped Monkey King from killing Macaque.
  • @NXT_4u
    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.

    0:38 the scarab is i think meant to be the main protagoniste in the journey to the west
  • @Echo75_energy
    If you put on captions tang says “I mean yeah my cat forced me to do it” in stead of macaque

    Desperately telling myself every fan interpretation of a character is valid, it doesn’t genuinely impress me how people refuse to read In between the lines of a character that clearly hides behind masks of humor and has trouble letting people in due to past experiences of all his friends being dead or having abandoned him in some form, and him having hurt them in some way being a major reason of why he didn’t want Mk and co. To get involved in the first place. You know, thats why he said “you’re not going, I’M going!” At the very beginning of the journey and all, because he didn’t want them to get hurt-

    I know they’re the same voice actor body really does sound like Goku 0:15
  • @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.
  • @nexenzy5825
    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
  • @valhatan3907
    Why nobody mentioning the GOLDEN FUCKIN CICADA?!!
  • Isn’t the Samadhi fire what they tried to destroy Wukong with in the Tri-gram Furnace?
