Back With Another Monke Post!

2023 is coming to an end so this is my annual I love my online friends so fucking much you wouldn't believe me if I told you post.

This brought me so much unfiltered joy XD

I saw this picture and had to redraw it as MK and Monkey King 😤

One of my au? crossover??? style ideas just popped out of sleeper mode and swung a bat at my head so now I’m attempting to brainstorm it so it kinda makes sense XD

(The only tidbit you get rn is that it’s Hilda and Monkie Kid related)

Raph's Powers: Force Fields and Projections Leo's Powers: Portals and teleportation Mikey's Powers: Infinite Chains and Mystical Fire Donnie's Powers: The entire US arsenal

Animatic by Ashe Jacobson, the storyboard director of LEGO Monkie Kid. Jokingly referred to as “bonus post-scene footage.”

executive dysfunction is inherently funny because it sounds so painfully fake that it wraps back around to being a good excuse. like if i was lying about not being able to do stuff, i would at least be able to come up with something more convincing than "i have not doing stuff syndrome"

Laptops are always so much more Fucked than phones in my experience. A laptop is like a beautiful horse that wants nothing more than to break all of its legs. A decently solid android phone will act normal

So TAAFI rottmnt panel take aways

1. Renet was originally supposed to be in Rise

2. The original plot of the movie was supposed to be Rat King taking control of splinter.  It was supposed to be a tragic story of Father against sons (I NEED this)

3.  The movie takes place a few months after the series, not two years.  I’m now side-eying all my stories

4. They were very vague on a season 3.  It was very much “Keep hope alive.  We still want to do a Rat King movie.”

5.The original movie opener is brutal in the best way ( also Splinter was missing in it.)

6. The movie was originally going to be a Raph movie and they switched it to Leo.

7. They fought not to retcon Rise!Casey (foot recruit)

All in all, good panel.  Would have loved a definitive answer on season 3 but I also like that it’s vague.  That means it’s not a no.

Opening sequence to the movie (first pass)

Ultimately I think something people often do without realizing is that they keep stripping SWK of attributes that make him so interesting and give it to another character — who more often than not ends up being Macaque of all people

Cares for children and is a good father figure to the monkeys? Macaque

Has a plan even when faced against a strong force in short notice? Macaque

Capable of tricking even the most cunning of people? Macaque

But the moment you describe an attribute that’s negative people often pin it to Wukong such as being an “awful planner” or “a poor mentor” or “someone who abandons people when they need it the most”

When in fact SWK does everything in his power to make sure Xiaotian is cared for and has a stable support system and did his best to try and get to him as quickly as possible when reaching for the Samadhi Fire map.

Not saying Macaque can’t have these qualities either but it’s almost saddening when people take away parts of SWK that make him interesting and fun
