U know wgat? I gotta give props to dyslite for making their swk and lemh as twins.

Bc their dynamics fits sm as this rather than in a romantic sense.

Plus! The lemh esper wants swk esper dead. Jusy like the jttw classic ;D

It is so bizarre that sm of swk history gets rewritten in western fandom in favor for lemh. And makes swk OR ANY OF HIS ACTUAL FRIENDS AND COWORKERS BE WORSE THAN THEY ACTUALLY ARE

The lemh favoritism irks me sm—like u completely rework this guy in order for u to like him. Thats no longer lemh—its the better swk who could do no wrong and is emo.

Hmmmm I'm going to actually have to look into what the deal with dyslite is one of these days because I've never played it and am still not sure what's going on there, but I'm glad people are appreciating the "twins who want to kill each other" relationship between the two from the og classic manifesting in other works. Cain and Abel in monkey form <3

#anon answered #monkey critical #yes yes I know the relationship isn't a one to one #but the dynamic of 'guy who wants to kill other guy because of what he has' is a big part of the relationship between both sets of simians #and YEAH remains baffling why so many people decided to toss out literally every part of LEMH's characterization from Xiyouji #in the name of turning him into a shadow the hedgehog clone #though from what I know shadow actually has it better #on account of his entire existence not being defined by an obsession with the guy who ruined his life lol #and yeah rip lego show Sun Wukong #sometimes I think about how apparently involved Chinese creatives wanted him to be more of a proper mentor #and get sad :(#that said it does remain extremely funny how xiyouji SWK does look even better by comparison #he may have smashed more people into meat patties than he can remember #but he never put the entirety of reality into danger in great part through his doofus decisions #and actually was a good mentor to someone too lmao
