It's finally done! The "shadowpeach apology comic" I promised✌️ The conflict between these two is constantly on my mind, so I'm happy I was able to draw it out. Enjoy! 🌼🌼
The LMK fandom misinterpreting Sanzang's character as abusive, and the journey being traumatic for Wukong is pretty upsetting. I get how it's an easy assumption to make, but when we look at Wukong, it's clear he was happy with them and he cherishes those memories with his heart.
In his jttw lore, Red Son (Red Boy) is a demonic problem child whose behavior gets so bad, that he must be forced into submission by Guanyin. He then becomes her disciple.🔥 In LMK the samadhi fire is removed from Red Son, seemingly taming him before it gets that bad, BUT (1/3)
In Lego Monkie Kid, if the showmakers say Nezha is an adult, then he is.
The showmakers and fans aren't doing anything wrong by depicting him that way, and that is because Nezha's visual image has and will keep changing due to transmedia storytelling. What does that mean?

Their relationship wasn't always pretty. The way Tripitaka used the band tightening spell to punish Wukong was cruel and unjust. This scene was carried out so well in

-96 I had to draw it.. 😭😭😭
"One of Us" from li*n king 2.
After being resurrected, Macaque tries to go back, but is shunned by his peers and exiled by the King.
😩 the song fit Macaque too well, so I had to draw it.
Nezha is older than Sun Wukong. He was already a general in heaven by the time Wukong's rock split open. According to Fengshen Yanyi, Nezha was born during the Shang dynasty, and according to JTTW Wukong was born in the Zhou Dynasty. Meaning Nezha is AT LEAST 500 years older.
JTTW-2010 provided such a healthy and mutually caring dynamic between Wukong and Sanzang. I loved the way this show established that they truly care for each other, not as master and disciple, but as friends. I listed some moments below because I'm emotional 😭😭😭
🍑W: "Stop staring. You look dumb.."
🫐M:"You fell asleep on me."
🍑W: "It was cold. You were the closest. Big deal.."
🫐M: "Ha ha, you like me~"
🍑W: "Oh my god! You're so annoying...!"
🫐M: "And yet, you're still there."
First meeting.
Will Wukong be able to lead his master through the forest of the wild, or will they be stopped by it's (beautiful) guardian?

"I'll be good.. so, please.."

After 500 hundred years of being trapped and tortured, Tripitaka was the first to care for Wukong. Naturally the monkey grew attached, which is why being abandoned later on hurt more than anything..
