Character study - SUN WUKONG AND MACAQUE

Alright class today we talk about macaque and wukong for not particular reason

Did you know that aside from all the beautiful things we write about macaque and wukong being a super cute couple that eventually divorced, in the jttw canon macaque is just the dark side of wukong

(Yes everyone we are actually in Star Wars)

Killing macaque is like the representation of giving away any dark feelings to finally reach enlightenment

It’s safe to assume that macaque is literally wukong shadow-

What? Sounds familiar?

Yes obviously , cuz that is most likely the interpretation that the Lmk crew gave upon creating macaque character.

The evil part of sun wukong- his shadow

For today class we are going to take as example the lion king

In particular Scar and Mufasa - the reason is that they are , in terms of character design choices, very similar to our beloved monkeys

Here mufasa, the king , his colors are gold and red, the colors of regality

The same that wukong has

On the other hand Scar is supposed to be the evil side of Mufasa , in a way a sort of shadow

And so he has the same palette of colors but it’s darker, cuz you know dark side

Same goes with macaque, he almost has the same palette colors of wukong just darker to show that he is his dark side.

Anyway I could stay all night taking about their colors and outfits

And since I can I will-

I really love one the first interaction that we have with macaque

The fact that he has his like scarf covering all of him shows us how he is hiding his true intentions, in short a big red flag for us when he showed up the first time.

Also he is all put in a posture to show us how intimidating this sugar is

Then I like to talk about how their colors change under the influence of the lady bone demon.

Macaque :

In this particular outfit macaque keeps his gold and red, to show us that somehow he is still bounded to his past life, but his colors are the one of sadness and fear- if this two emotions are his or for others to feel I leave to interpretation.

Under the service of the lady bone demon, macaque outfit is more “symmetrical” , it’s a huge change from the past one he had.

A symmetrical character is usually seen as evil and calculating

See how symmetrical her outfit and pose are, this show us that she’s evil

Now for macaque it could be a representation of him being an actual treat in this season but it could also represent that he is working for a villain.

Wukong :

Even for wukong his new outfit is more symmetrical. Getting rid of the scarf that created “noises” on his outfit.

The fact is that wukong original outfit is already symmetrical, differently from macaque’s; but in his case it’s done to give us a false sense of perfection in wukong character.

Us like MK always look at this character with admiration, to us wukong is perfect; only when he stop wearing that outfit in favor of the one he has in S3, we actually start to see that this character has many flaws and demons, but we had to get pass this perfect shell.

Wukong color change is the perfect representation of the downfall of a character always depicted as great and strong

Do you know Cersei Lannister from GOT?

Good cuz we are taking her as an example

In the first seasons, when she is depicted as powerful and “happy”, if you know what I mean

She is shows to wear red and gold, royalty colors, and having long hair, having long hair means that that character is free

Very similar to wukong situation

But when she’s near her downfall , at her worst state, she wears silver, green/ blue, this colors infact represent the downfall of a character and the fact that they lost themselves

Also she has like short hair here which shows to us that she’s not free anymore

Same goes for wukong, when under the possession on lbd he lost himself and so he wears silver and blue

But when he breaks from LBD control

His colors has gone back to red and gold, cuz he found himself again, the fact that he also has WHITE in his design , which is a new color in his outfit outline the fact that he is free , “purified” from LBD control

Alright class that was all for today, I hope you enjoyed this little things ✨💕

i think LMK Sun Wukong's flashback outfit paying homage to 1961 Havoc in Heaven SWK is very nice, but given what I've heard about LMK's charcterization for SWK, it also kinda feels like it misses the point as to why 1961 looked like that

Animation from February 13, 2022 Was planning on cleaning this up but I wanted to work on new ones instead, Lotsa mistakes here but it feels loose enough that its quite right? :shrugs: This was animated on whim. Supposed to be a simple storyboard but it got off the rails and I kept impulsively adding more frames because it doesn’t look right. Hours later and I ended up with this. Come to think of it, most of my animations are just storyboards that got out of hand Anyway…

THIS IS SO UNHEALTHY
