This face is just so raw. Those who are cursing and hating on sun wukong over the recent season 3 finale need to recognize that this guy wasn’t acting out of selfishness or looking to sacrifice anyone. I think it’s clear he doesn’t actually know what he’s doing with the LBD and training MK, but it’s on his shoulders to take down the witch or lose MK and the world. His “vacation” and this trip to collect the rings were a desperate course of action to take her down, even if it leaves him battered and kills him. He clearly loves MK and is looking to protect him and his group, and you can bet he had the best intentions by keeping the Mei secret, but unfortunately, things got out of hand. And now keep in mind that he is now racing to fight LBD by himself, despite being weakened and definitely scared. But he’s rattled, MK literally rushed into death-inducing fire not two minutes previously and he just now seeing how his teaching method was pretty much trauma and physical injury-inducing. Like he said, he won’t drag the kid into any more of his fights, even though he has no chance of victory now. He made a bad call, but he was doing his best. Keep in mind, despite the tension and conflict with Nedzu, the guy is still rushing to stop him from being hurt and captured by a crazy demon witch. So, try to not jump into the Hate Sun Wukong crowd, please.
