[i-am-a-fan]

I think we got the season 5 theory wrong.

i think that the kings of hell aren’t trying to get Wukong back from all those years. (Okay maybe they are)

But what if they’re after macaque for dying and coming back?

[ojisanmuramasa]

shadowpeach this, mk's ever growing trauma that, and 9 headed this- can we talk about the true important thing about lmk season 5, of how the Teal Dragon of the East and the White Tiger of the West where just husbands, cuddling together in their final moments?

The pressing foreheads together as they fade away and give the gang their crystals?

Not normal about them EDIT: Editing this to add and share the most important tags from a reblog on this post, so far, bc the reblog doesn't actually appear in the notes of the post-

what if i just cried? cried and sobbed and wailed and threw up?

My Lmk season 5 prediction.

I was inspired by an edit on tiktok.

I had to make it.

Performer Wukong & Street artist Macaque

I absolutely forgot about this drawing 😅

It'd be cool to get another episode with a fake reality, especially since what they are good at (art and performing) has been switched.

[coffpot]

Oh no 👀

[karppie]

Okay, so-

I’ll try to stop posting so much stuff that is a big fucking text with something about LMK season 5 (or not, idk, I’m having a brainrot because of this show).

But I remember a few months ago, an amazing conversation that I was having with myself, that I was trying to make up a scene of like…how would LMK end. Like, my first thought and now then was that someone, MK or Wukong, would sacrifice themselve to save the world. But I thought it would be the series ending, that the sacrifice of one of them would actually happen and it would be permanent. I was mostly thinking it could be Wukong, I don’t know, because then he would turn into a real legend and the world will still be saved by MK, until MK train another person or something (those are just details).

Anyway, I watch season 5 and then…

I was honestly shocked. I need to stop talking to myself, it’s getting dangerous.

I’m sorry MK

I know this theory has been talked about a lot, but I would like to put my own thoughts and opinions about Ne Zha’s age. Of course, Ne Zha died at the age of 12, yet in the series; considered to be a somewhat spin-off/sequel to the Journey to the West novel, he appears to be physically an adult.

Understandably, some people wanted to defend the idea of Ne Zha physically and mentally grown since Journey to the West by using other country’s beliefs of Ne Zha depicted as an adult, however, other countries still depict Ne Zha as a child, and the crew for LEGO Monkie Kid revealed he was canonically a child during Season 4, Episode 5 “The Court of the Yellow-Robed Demon”. This leaves to the question of how he managed to appear older. 

I have been pondering on the idea for quite some time, and while going through several posts of people’s headcanons, references from other media depicting the other characters from Journey to the West, I have come to a conclusion. 

To support this theory, I will be using Macaque as an example to answer the mystery behind Ne Zha’s sudden ageing in LEGO Monkie Kid. It has become abundantly clear Macaque has a missing eye, and in the Season 3, Episode 8, “Benched”, while trying to retrieve the third Samadhi Ring from Tang, for a split second, the tip of his tail becomes slightly white. 

While going through fanart, people often depict Macaque, having glamorised his looks in order to hide his features (i.e., his scarred eye). Saying that, I believe Ne Zha has adapted to glamorise his child form into an adult form, possibly from wanting to fit his mental age physically and feel comfortable. Macaque so far, hasn’t shown his true form for a prologue time, I believe Nezha can hold his adult form without any difficulty. 

𝗠𝗞’𝗦 𝗠𝗢𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗥 𝗠𝗢𝗥𝗔𝗟𝗜𝗧𝗬 𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗢𝗥𝗬

Season 5 of LEGO Monkie Kid is bound to show Nuwa, or MK’s supposed mother, on the show. Most people are wanting Nuwa to be a loving and caring mother, however, I do not believe that will be the case considering the direction the show is taking on MK’s backstory.

In the Season 4 special “Emperor’s Wrath”, the Kings of Hell in the Underworld are shown to be devising a plan for the upcoming events for Season 5, and personally, I believe Nuwa will be some sort of secondary villain associated with the main plot in Season 5. 

I am predicting that Nuwa has some strong connections, or at the very least, is acquainted with the Kings of Hell. Perhaps in the past, the Kings of Hell held a grudge against Sun Wukong after erasing his name from the Book of the Dead.

They weren’t able to change the pages since the paper magically link to the people whose names are written, and possibly, recreating a new set of paper will negatively affect the other people’s mortality; which the Kings of Hell are not willing to risk. 

Leading to the Kings of Hell requesting the aid of the creator of humans, Nuwa, since the residents of the Celestial Realm are not going to approve such a dire plan without the approval of the Jade Emperor.

Maybe the Kings of Hell gained Nuwa’s interest throughout a promise with a type of reward at the end of deal, and making her create a lifeform with equal or stronger power than Sun Wukong.

From the flashback in Season 4 Episode 6, “Show Me The Monster'', there were several stone statues of various animals before the creation of MK (hinting there were several attempts to create the perfect lifeform). 

The idea of creating MK as a mystic monkey probably links to the Journey to the West novel, in the chapter where Macaque shapeshifted into the Monkey King and deceives the other pilgrims; and before the reveal of the Six-Eared Macaque, it was stated that the imposter was close to Sun Wukong’s power level, which, I’m assuming, Nuwa took note.  

Since Season 4 has hinted that Sun Wukong had some sort of connection with MK before he was created, I am predicting that he possibly knew Nuwa as a friend before she became an acquaintance with the Kings of Hell. Nuwa used that relationship as an advantage to analyse his skills and powers, while discussing using Sun Wukong as a pawn to help MK to be trained by the Monkey King, in order for MK to unlock his powers later in life. 

Reasoning why I believe Sun Wukong isn’t aware of Nuwa is supported in the Season 4 special, “Emperor’s Wrath”, when Azure Lion was defeated, Sun Wukong questioned him who set him free from the Scroll of Memory, and Azure Lion had no recollection.

Supporting this theory, judging the age of MK when he first met Pigsy in Season 4, Episode 6, “Show Me The Monster”, he seemed to be around the age of 5 years old, which when he should some remembered of Nuwa or Sun Wukong to some degree, but it’s possibly she must have erased MK’s memories. This might be an ability that she might use in Season 5.  

Nuwa must have deceived Sun Wukong somehow to convince him to protect MK when he proves himself to have potential to become Sun Wukong’s successor, not only to allow MK’s abilities to develop and become stronger, but she might also use MK to spy on the Monkey King from afar.  

To support this theory, I will use the 5th Anniversary LEGO set of Monkie Kid, as Nuwa is seen to be in disguise while running a jade shop in Megapolis. Perhaps she purposely dropped MK off at Pisgy’s Noodles and lived around the city to observe MK and waited until he was ready to wield the staff. Sun Wukong must have done the same, but without the knowledge of Nuwa’s plan with the Kings of Hell (To learn Sun Wukong’s weaknesses for the sake of devising a plan).  

In the pilot episode of LEGO Monkie Kid, “A Hero is Born”, MK needed to deliver some noodles to a customer, but ended up dealing with the Demon Bull Family. Perhaps Nuwa also purposely made MK make the trip so that he can find Monkey King’s staff and allow MK to meet Sun Wukong and start training because Nuwa might have a deadline to finish her end of the deal, before the Kings of Hell will take action in Season 5.

𝗢𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗥 𝗠𝗬𝗦𝗧𝗜𝗖 𝗠𝗢𝗡𝗞𝗘𝗬𝗦 𝗣𝗥𝗘𝗗𝗜𝗖𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡

Connecting to the last theory, I believe there will be a likely chance that Season 5 will introduce the other mystic monkeys from the Journey to the West novel. Judging from the direction of the LEGO Monkie Kid series, there will be new characters introduced other than Nuwa, considering that Season 5 will focus more on MK’s past, and him learning how to control his monkey powers.

For those who aren’t aware, in the Journey to the West novel, it is canon that there are a total of four mystic monkeys, which includes Sun Wukong (Spirit Intelligent Stone Monkey) and Macaque (Six-Eared Macaque Monkey). 

The other two are known as the Red Butt Horse Monkey and the Pass through Arm Ape Monkey (using the translated names from the Chinese characters).

Since the series does slightly alternate the Journey to the West lore, perhaps the Red Butt Horse Monkey and Pass through Arm Ape Monkey were created before Sun Wukong and Macaque, and the idea of MK being a new mystic monkey existing in the LEGO Monkie Kid show does bring their attention and they will contribute to the main conflict of Season 5 (Perhaps they know much more about the upcoming conflict with the Kings of Hell and MK’s monkey power awakening).

This prediction might be a bit of a stretch, but since MK’s monkey powers will most likely be one of the main focuses for the plot of Season 5, I believe these two monkeys are willing to become an influence; both negatively and positively.

Reasoning for this prediction is connected to the fact that the Red Butt Horse Monkey is known to have the ability to avoid death and lengthen its life, which I believe might lead the show to make an alliance with Nuwa and the Kings of Hell. 

Meanwhile, the Pass through Arm Ape Monkey might be helping MK through his glitching when it comes to his monkey form, and might have more knowledge about dealing with  MK’s problem than Monkey King.

To support this theory, in Season 4, Episode 7, “Pitiful Creatures”, when Wukong first sees MK’s glitching, he looks like he doesn’t look like he know how to deal this side-effect of unlocking the monkey powers, considering that Sun Wukong and Macaque were already created as monkeys and were able control their powers. 

The Pass through Arm Ape Monkey might have known of MK’s existence through the battle against Azure Lion in the Season 4 special, “Emperor’s Wrath”, as the sky and the whole world was breaking apart, and since the Pass through Arm Ape Monkey can manipulate the moon and stars.

It could be the reason why the Red Butt Horse Monkey told Nuwa and the Kings of Hell about MK’s powers.  

I don’t have anything else to say about this theory/prediction. However, if the series doesn’t show them, there HAS to be some influence, Easter eggs, etc. connecting to these mystic monkeys.

𝗠𝗜𝗦𝗦𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗗𝗘𝗠𝗢𝗡 𝗕𝗨𝗟𝗟 𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗕𝗔𝗖𝗞𝗦𝗧𝗢𝗥𝗬 𝗣𝗥𝗘𝗗𝗜𝗖𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡

Aside from Sun Wukong and Macaque having their pasts explored, the series does have the Demon Bull King appearance in these flashbacks since he was once a member of the Brotherhood, first revealed in Season 4, Episode 2, “New Adventures”, as everyone is discussing who will be the next Jade Emperor after overthrowing the current one.

From this single flashback alone, DBK was shown to be a good guy, fighting alongside his sworn brothers for they thought was right, and it does beg the question: What made him change his morality from good to bad?

In the pilot, Season 1, “A Hero is Born”, he is first introduced as the main antagonist whose goal is to conquer the world, and suddenly Sun Wukong traps him under a mountain despite DBK being his sworn brother. This minor detail is very unusual considering that in Season 3, Episode 10 “The Samadhi Fire”, showcases Sun Wukong, Demon Bull King and Ne Zha helping to separate the Samadhi Fire from Redson as a child.

Judging from this scene, the event must have taken place post to the Journey to the West, as the Monkey King isn’t wearing the circlet, as most of the flashbacks which are taking place in the Journey to the West shows him wearing the circlet given from Tang Sanzang. The pilot does show Sun Wukong wearing the same suit of armour as in Season 3, Episode 10 “The Samadhi Fire”, and it's strange how the Monkey King went from helping the Demon Bull King to fighting him. 

Either something happened between the events of removing of the Samadhi Fire and the events occurred in the pilot, or off-screen there was some conflict between the two, but set a temporary truce to help Redson with the Samadhi Fire.

The most assumed event that could pinpoint the morality change of the Demon Bull King would be when he and Princess Iron Fan met during the battle against Heaven. However, I highly doubt that. Since this event took place before the birth of Redson, and if Demon Bull King and Sun Wukong didn’t have conflict during this time period, then this accusation would be inaccurate. 

This wasn’t a theory or a prediction, however, I REALLY do feel like talking about this since it’s been bugging me for quite some time. I hope that Season 5 will be able to resolve this plot hole and perhaps it might correlate with the main plot of the next.

While I do hope, I also doubt it since the Demon Bull Family has not had much screen time in recent seasons. But simultaneously, I bet there will be a chance since the new 5th Anniversary LEGO set does display Redson working at the BBQ restaurant in Megapolis, so maybe a slim chance. 

I was going to talk about Peng and Erlang working together in Season 5, considering the current conflict with the Monkie Gang and Peng, and due to the fact that Erlang is a cousin? Brother? Or a family member of the Jade Emperor according to the Journey to the West novel, and wanted to avenge his death.

(Probably ignore this one, this was a last minute theory)

But I didn’t know what else to talk about and it does seem like the two will be working on their own.  

Anyways, I hope you all enjoy the theories that I have come up with. I haven’t gotten the chance to re-watch all of the episodes of LEGO Monkie Kid, so I mostly relied on my memory. Leave some comments about your thoughts and theories of the series or what will happen in Season 5.

I made LMK season 5 bingo cards!

Follow this link to get your own!

Or just use this and rearange the boxes if that doesn’t work

[icy-watch]

So, Macklebee's shadow powers are actually chaos. Not shadows. Or shadows that developed into chaos? Not exactly clear on that front.

But he made a deal with someone to get these powers. This someone who has been locked in a cage of some sort.

I'm trying to remember who that could be from JttW, but it could honestly just be someone from Chinese myth and legend - especially since Nüwa is now canon to the show.

Maybe the Dragon King? Or the Rhino King? Neither of those feel particularly right, but they're the only characters coming to the surface.

Maybe Gonggong or Zhurong? That's be interesting.

Xiangliu. Something about this episode really makes me thing that he was 1 of the previous sacrifices. It would give him interesting motivation to stop Nüwa from repeating the cycle once again. Altho, it wouldn't give him a good reason to want who ever was caged to be free.

Nüwa created MK to be the Harbinger of Chaos for a reason, and I'm still not sure what that is yet. She really didn't fight MK, she just seemed to kind of... accept that MK was going against what she said.

Like she was testing him.

I'm kind of hoping this gets touched on in s6.

Obviously the next season is going to deal with the fallout of MK not ending the cycle. People - and a dog - have super powers. Please show Bai He. I will riot if she's not included in the next season. I miss the sweetpea. That's going to take up some time to sort out.

Alright, I'm going to need an extra day to organize my correct and incorrect predictions. I promise I'll only take 1 day this time and not the entirety of my break between this show and the next. So keep an eye out for that in the next 24 hours.

AND THE NEXT SHOW! It looks like Rise of the TMNT won the poll. SO! I'm going to take the next 2 days off, and kick off with the first episode. Until then!

So I uhh... May be a little obsessed...

[alilcherrysramblings]

FIVE LAST MINUTE LMK S5 PREDICTIONS (POTENTIAL SPOILERS IF ANY OF THESE COME TRUE):

1. (Thanks to @cherllyio for posting abt this and bringing this to my attention!) Macaque will be the first to be trapped by Li Jing as he holds him off so the gang can escape to find the stones.

^ This pic looks like Li Jing using the pagoda to trap Macaque (since the BG is clearly the city)

v This pic is definitely Macaque about to (attempt to) kick Li Jing’s ass—

(and then when they do eventually get caught which will probably be like 1 episode later at the most he’ll be all like “bruh wtf why did I even sacrifice myself for these idiots”)

2. Wukong WILL be put out of commission/near death, but instead of it being because of the popular theory that he is connected to the fifth stone, it will be Li Jing using the circlet to a more extreme degree. This could be the point where they already have all the stones and that was one of Li Jing’s attempts to slow them down.

But all it will result in is MK snapping and using the stones to beat his ass/fix the sky (as shown by this shot of him crying with the stones)

3. Fixing the sky (or, at least MK getting all the stones) is part of the traitor’s plan. HEAR ME OUT.

What if the traitor’s plan is to use MK as a tool for chaos, and they know that the stones will unlock his full power?

4. PENG RETURNS. I mean cmon let’s face it you can’t just have them fly off into the sky and leave it at that—

Maybe they could be recruited by the new villain and then get backstabbed, basically kinda forcing them to either flee once again or help our heroes.

5. (This is the complete opposite of a theory I had—) When the gang eventually does meet Nüwa, she will reveal that she didn’t create MK for any large or important reason, she just wanted to create something that could stay with her and not die.

[legochaotixmechz]

it's the year of the dragon

also the year lmk season 5 comes out

They said where gonna cry for this one ..

Mei dragon prepare to met your demise 💥💥💥💥

[wallsarefun]

Lmk season five theory/prediction or whatever this is just silly

the gang is panicking at pigsys noodles like “oh theirs a new big bad we fucked up what do we do”

Then macaque just appears out of nowhere like “hey guys-“

And like idk gets a spoon thrown at him by pigsy

I want pigsy to throw a spoon at someone

[icearts]

My biggest fear about season 5 of lmk is if Li Jing is either redeemed or not a major villain. I'm a Li Jing hater til the end.

This season from the 3 episodes I've seen so far focuses a lot on the polarization between order and chaos, with Li Jing and the 10 kings being extreme figures of order, and some of the yet to be introduced antagonists being extreme figures of chaos. So it'll make sense if there's a major villain for order and a major villain for chaos, and the lesson being that they need to coexist and that coexistence is Choice. The entire central message is about choice. It's not about good versus evil, order vs chaos, it's about the power of choice. The gray area. And I really hope this season let's me be a passionate Li Jing hater by making him a villain. This is not a safe space for him lmao.

Plus I just really wanna see Nezha stand up to him and also finally get a W. This dude has lost every fight this show, and I wholeheartedly think it's because he's fighting for the Jade Emperor and not for himself. Once he actually chooses his own beliefs, he's gonna be a great fighter.

PLUS we see Pigsy really take a greater emphasis on his fatherly role towards MK, being a strict but nurturing figure in his life, and it'll show another parallel because Li Jing is a cruel and authoritarian father, favoring controlling his kids rather than guiding them. There's just so much potential to villainize the everloving hell out of this guy.

So from both a writing and a character bias standpoint, make Li Jing either the primary or the secondary villain PLEASE I'm so ready to see him get his ass kicked by the power of unconditional love.
