What do you think what happened if wukong’s plan worked? Aka him getting all ALL FOUR SAMADHI FIRE INSIDE OF HIM
Plus how would the gang feel about it?
Especially mei,mk macaque and redson
First thought: fire rock. No, but really, in the original legend, the power of the Samadhi fire was one of the few things that could hurt; especially considering he's basically fireproof to most forms of fire. (I want to say it sad he's immune to earthly and heavenly fire, but I could be completely wrong!)
If Sun Wukong were to fuse the rings into his body, if it was even successful, he would be in sheer agony. Because he would be burning alive, forever! Or at least until there's something or someone to defeat him/the samadhi fire. This monkey is eighth times immortal. Even when really weakened, he's still stronger than most demons and celestials. I don't think Wukong has any self-regeneration abilities? Even in the book. If he's injured, he still needs recoup days even if it might be less than some people. But if he's constantly burning, he's not going to be able to heal. And he's supposedly made from clay rock, which even the more low-grade clay has very high melting points, but um- I don't it can last THE FIRE THAT COULD RIP THROUGH REALITY. So liquid monkey covered in fire, hehe.
But I think it would be similar (?) to the s3 finale, though Wukong would be doing what Mei did. In the case it was successful, since it's likely he wouldn't even be able to contain it.
However, the reactions to Wukong fusing himself with the rings would be very much negative. MK would just be devastated while I think Mei and Macaque would have similar reactions but not exactly the same, like in the same vein with each other. They both sorta see Wukong as someone grasping at anything for more power. They think this for different reasons. Mei, I can't fully find the words to describe why I believe this, I mainly made the connection because of I quote she says in the samadhi fire scene: "You're willing to tear me apart to get your stupid samadhi fire!"
(Parden, if I misquoted the quote).
From Mei's perspective, it seems like all Wukong cares about is the rings. Not anyone's well-beings, especially her's in that moment since he technically kept secret something that would most likely harm her. Though in his defense, he never had the chance to explain things before it escalated or could attempt to extract the ring from inside her.
My justification for Macaque, however, is due to both argument scene when Wukong was trapped under a mountain and when he's connecting to MK about the past; talking about how he just wanted to get stronger to protect the ones he loves. In the argument scene, Macaque claims a similar thing to Mei about Sun Wukong only caring about gaining more power( I don't know the exact quote). And thing this makes a clear through-line about Sun Wukong's character: the only reason he wants more power is always because of other people, and he subsequently also always loses sent of the main goal in some way. With Macaque, he had reached a strength point where he could have not went against heaven and been able to protect his friends with no real worry. But he ended up ruining it by obsessing over needing more strength, and the time where he can stop searching for ways to become more powerful will come eventually, just not now. And because of that, like the clay icarus he is, he flew too close to the Sun. With the samadhi fire, and in correlation Mei, he did the same thing but with added thing of him being so used to having to deal with everything on HIS OWN that he forgets to tell anyone any real information and burns his own foot in the process. He's so 6 on keeping everyone safe that he's not able to do that.
Long winded way of saying that I think his original plan would fall through just as fighting Lady Bone Demon alone failed, and everyone would rate it zero stars on Yelp. Mei and Macaque would both lose their shit in different fonts, and MK would probably cry(which would have Mei put up immortal monkey hunting season poster and would soon have a one of a kind collectible Monkey King fur rug).
