So it wouldn't be very surprising that he would be so arrogant. The Emperor's New Groove at least did try to explain that Yzma raising him probably had a lot to do with his character (or lack of it), but that doesn't appear to be the case in Kingdom of the Sun.
Fair enough. Yet even that issue isn't as debated in TENG, about how Yzma raised him and why he's (apparently) an orphan.
I'm torn on Pacha's decision at the end though. On one hand it reflects the simplicity of his soul and reminds me of how even Mulan turns down the emperor's offer to return home because that's where she belongs. However at the same time, Pacha has had such a positive effect on Manco's life and they seem to have bonded that it feels odd for him to suddenly just leave.
Sure you're not Lindsay Ellis (a.k.a. former Nostalgia Chick)? Just kidding ;)

Lol, I don't watch her so has she said something similar to what I said above?

Thanks for posting! I enjoyed her take on Mulan not accepting the job from the emperor.
