These Precious Messed Up Monkeys

I will add my LMK thoughts into the aether.

Sooo…Lego Monkie Kid Season 5 establishes that MK and Wukong have bonded to the point where they are literally willing to lay down their lives for one another.  I think they’ve known each other a few months?  I haven’t seen a birthday episode or a second New Year’s episode, so I’m presuming it’s been less than 12 months and they are already fighting each other to die for each other.

That is to say, Sun “So Afraid of Death He Made Himself Immortal Multiple Times Over” Wukong was willing to die for MK specifically.  Because once it was established that saving the world required a sacrifice, the world stopped really being on the line – as far as the crew understood, the sacrifice was the only one still in peril.  Without being asked, Wukong was willing to not just risk his life but lose his life to save MK’s.

And MK!  He’d already proven he was willing to sacrifice himself to save the world, but he showed that he was also willing to sacrifice himself to save just Wukong by fighting his mentor to get to the pillar first. 

He also showed he was willing to go as far as using the fillet (the betrayal, the sheer physical and emotional damage…which a Monkey King fanboy would have all the context for) if it meant saving Wukong.  That is a can of worms so clearly about to burst and so blatantly unresolved by the end of the season that I am not even going to poke it right now.

Meanwhile, Macaque continues loving so hard that it’s a danger to his health.  More at 11:00.

(I love these messed up monkeys so much.)
