really makes me hope that macaque wasn’t part of some ritual to remove his shadow powers (or other abilities?). in shadowplay, this is clearly wukong being attacked by what looks to be shadows or it could be macaque posing as wukong and suffering the consequences/ taking the heat for wukong to help keep him out of trouble

and macaque seems emotional/upset about it.

and when the ritual didn’t go right and can’t really control it

he had to be “put down” or just left to suffer then die (he never said wukong killed him, just abandoned him). then after being resurrected he still has some (he also had to steal from mk) of his powers, but he still feels the aftereffects....

it would be painful to find out in the end, that because of his abilities (hearing past, present, future) he knew this would all happen, but he had to  “play the part” for the best possible outcome for everyone. if he could hear the future he could have avoided everything and lived somewhere comfortably; and if he heard the past then there wouldn’t be miscommunication or at least a better understanding on why wukong made his choices. macaque should have most, if not, full understanding of the situation. either mac has selective hearing when it comes to his abilities or he’s putting on one hell of a show.
