#I've decided amnesia rules makes me crazy

[imminent-danger-came]

One detail I've noticed is that Wukong's outfit is different before and after Tripitaka places the circlet on him (and Wukong was notably unwilling to be chained):

Which is distinctly different than every other iteration of this scene we've been shown:

Other retellings of this moment have Wukong kneeling in servitude...when the reality is he was kneeling after being subdued—continuing lmk's tradition of biased/false narratives (like what was done with the multiple explanations of the samadhi fire). I think it's interesting to see the ways in which Wukong's past was made easier to swallow as time went on (or if you were Azure and didn't want to believe that Wukong had been changed by his journey lol)

#me pointing to MK's visions of Wukong's past in AHiB where Wukong is specifically wearing his jttw outfit: WAIT A MINUTE #WUKONG U FUCKING LIAR #U were not born out of the stone with clothes. Smh. What is this fake version of the story you're revealing to MK #I've decided amnesia rules makes me crazy #(<- could say this about literally ANY lmk episode) #lmk #lego monkie kid #lmk SWK #lmk analysis

Oh my goodness. This is it. My final post for my favorite Tang moments of season 3. There isn't a ton in this one since this is kind of just the last few things I couldn't fit on the previous posts, but I do have quite a bit to talk about regardless. So, without further ado, here is part 3 of my favorite Tang moments from my rewatch of season 3 - Embrace Your Destiny-Part 4: Destiny Fulfilled:

[pt 2]

How hard do you think Tang was freaking out when he got to sit next to Nezha around the fire? I'll bet he was nerding out to the Nth degree.

I've already made a post about this but I going to say it again because GOD THIS SHOT DRIVES ME CRAZY!!! Where's our man Tang in this shot?!!!! OH, WAIT...

HE'S BEHIND THE F***ING FIRE!! This is the last group shot of the show and yet they hide Tang from it completely! WHY?! Idk why but I can't help but think that there is some significance in Tang being put behind the fire. I MEAN LOOK! IT'S PERFECTLY COVERING HIM IN THE SHAPE OF HIS CHARACTER!! Granted, this is something very subtle (and subtlety isn't exactly LMK's strong suit), but it really feels like this has to mean something, I just can't figure out what. Seriously, this has been bugging me since I first noticed this. Am I crazy here?

I love this little moment! MK just casually steals food from Tang, and we all know that if there was one thing Tang wouldn't tolerate, it's his food getting taken. Yet, in this shot, the only thing he does is yell "Hey!" at MK. It shows how MK is comfortable enough to take food from a man whose whole shtick is being obsessed with food, and Tang isn't truly upset. It feels like yet another small family moment between the two of them.

It makes me so happy that Tang is the one to end the season. He is the first voice we hear in the show and it's nice that he is the last voice we hear at the end of this season. Clearly, this was intended to be a potential ending for the show, but it ended up continuing anyway. I sincerely hope that when the show does end, it ends with a voice-over from Tang as well. He is the storyteller of the show, after all.

I can believe I've gotten to the end of season 3 with these posts. I initially started my 'Favorite Tang Moments' collection based on a random screenshot I took when I paused the show in 'On the Run' during my rewatch. When I got to 'Amnesia Rules' I thought it would be fun to show off my favorite Tang moment from that episode, and after that, I just couldn't stop.

I've decided to go back and do this same thing with seasons 1 and 2. It's been a while since I've watched those seasons anyway, so why not share my favorite Tang moments while I'm at it? It'll be a bit until I start doing that, however, since I want to get some other stuff done before I go back to these posts. Don't worry though! I'll still post more Tang-related stuff. I have some thoughts and theories about this season I'd like to share, and I'll start posting those occasionally now that I'm done with the season.

Here are my other Favorite Tang Moments
