tbh i dont even think 'red son should have gotten the samadhi fire' truthers even wanted him to be the 4th ring, most ive seen want him to have gained/shared the fire with mei during EYD (which is kinda also dumb). ive never seen someone complaining about him not getting the fire explain how the plot would function if that happened
also some people think meis dragon heritage should've been explored instead, which is funny since there are 3 episodes dedicated to that AND meis heritage and legacy motif are integral to her being the 4th ring
LITERALLY
Like Wukong's mistake affected Ao Lie which then affected Mei 100s of years later. Legacy and the cyclical nature of history, stories, and life
#Mei and Ao Lie as foils is#like the gang and their respective pilgrims are obviously all foils to each other#but Mei and Ao Lie might be my fav#(not by much. They're all so good)#idk something something Mei's family not considering her worthy and then the dragon palace of the east not considering her refined enough#And then Ao Lie being like ''you're not a disappointment''#Crying dude#like they already are exploring Mei's dragon heritage you just gotta open your eyes#How it is with lmk#the subtext is there you just gotta pay attention and connect some dots#not that this is subtext but#you know#lmk#lego monkie kid#lmk Mei#asks#samadhi fire mei#the samadhi fire
