Lmk Rant - Tumblr Posts
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?!
