#And you take the memory of the calabash out of the scroll or whatever

[imminent-danger-came]

I know it was a one-off thing but I think it'd be neat if they brought back the calabash (maybe in more competent hands than Jin and Yin lmao) just because of how differently I think it could play out now

So I love 1x05 because MK was put into his "perfect world", and he just doesn't give a shit. He immediately senses something is off, knows his friends aren't okay, and then promptly tries to leave.

I think I've pointed this out before, but I go insane looking at these two scenes side by side:

MK: "Sorry, it's just- I'm just really glad none of you are perfect." Mei, Tang, & Pigsy: "WHAT!!" *they start yelling* MK: *relieved sigh* "Perfect."

(1x05 Calabash)

-

MK: "The perfect world is what you make it—so as long as I have my friends by my side, this world! Is! Perfect!"

(3x14 Destiny Fulfilled)

And at this point, with all the attempted "perfect worlds" MK has seen, I would be super curious to learn what another trip inside the calabash would look like.

Like, he loves his friends exactly the way they are, but almost to the extreme—he doesn't want anything to change. He doesn't want his world to change. And, when it comes to having a successful attempt at trapping MK in the calabash, you'd have to put in the leg work and trap EVERYONE in there. He wants his actual friends, not imitations. But an imitated world on the other hand, that might not bug him as much...
