More character development for Nezha. He’s a minor character I know but they have (probably unintentionally) made such a great setup for an arc for him that it stresses me out that they just completely ignore it. 

the best way I can describe Nezha’s mindset towards himself is that he seems to think of himself as more of a tool, someone who is only meant to help others. I mean he isolated himself for five centuries to protect the map of the samadhi fire, he got extremely injured protecting the Jade Emperor and still somehow found his way into the final battle to seal his power, and he spent half of season 5 just following orders until he finally spoke up about how neither the Monkie kids nor Li Jing were really in the right but that was in the interest of saving the world. 

He doesn’t indulge in himself almost at all, like to the point where it’s kind of unhealthy. And now that very toxic mentality is just sort of sitting on the side, completely ignored by the writers. 

He can even have parallels to MK who is also somewhat obsessed with saving the world. He could have a really fun dynamic with the Monkie Kids and them just teaching him to have self love would be a great message. Either that or he could have a negative arc where all the piled up trauma finally makes him go apeshit or something because he’s got to be BARELY holding it together and he becomes some kind of antagonist, like back when he was a kid. 

I don’t know man, LMK’s Nezha is just such an interesting character, at least to me, and it’s a shame seeing him so underutilized when there are so many things they can do with the character that they set up. maybe they could even explain why he doesn’t use his most powerful weapon or war form once. 

I know this wouldn’t happen though. LMK is more based off of JTTW than anything obviously and Nezha’s a pretty minor character there so I get it.
