by far the most interesting part of LMK s4 (to me) is, well, them finally addressing the aggressively positive attitude MK has had about sun wukong the entire show. the entire series has emphasized this heroic narrative and almost entirely sidelined the circumstances that got him on the jttw,,, all his (delightful) shittiness has been intentionally obscured, and s4 completely reframes it as MK himself being uncomfortable with the fact that the Monkey King has this dual legacy of being a great hero celebrated for his role in the story and, you know, everything else about him as the trickster monkey archetype.

he reads perfectly as the kind of kid who idolized someone from a young age and has had to fend off accusations of them being ‘bad, actually’ in the past and now finds himself walking in those exact footsteps with suspicious ease, and now it’s been implied to his face that it’s because he’s going in reverse. whuf
