Why does the animatiin show the dot on his forehead?? He didn't become a buddha until after the journey. Also, he didn't gain his name until his teacher gave it to him. The headband is shown at the wrong time, too. He also didn't notice mortality until an elder monkey died. That's the thing with remakes. Random bs just gets thrown in and changes the story from the book.
That's Goku before Kamehameha and ultra instinct
He tucked it inside his ear
A buddhist fabrication trying to subdue the chinese people by belittling their myths and gods, what they were really after is the secret to immortal breathing
THIS STORY IS NOT ACCURATE.
Actually this is not chinese mythology, it's just a novel include something like religion (buddhism, taoism)
Or Son Goku in Japanese
😊👍 based on a TRUE STORY!
And ,,patkai is Muhammad,,,
The OG Son Goku
would you say wukong had an obsession for knowledge and immortality?
Kratos would’ve ate that mountain😂
For anyone interested to learn more about Wukong. Watch the movie "A Chinese Odyssey" Part 1 and Part 2. They are both on Youtube for free and Stephen Chow (Shaolin Soccer & Kungfu Hustle) was the lead. You will not regret watching this timeless classic. Mark my words
Actually Su Wukong is a name given by Avalokitesvara hundred years after his birth. At the beggining he was called stone monkey.
Jai bajrang bali 🙏🏻🙇🏻
Sun Wukong….Its like the Sun who Walk on so Sun Wukong.
Monke
Kratos solos no diff
Have you ever thought the story of Tarzan was inspired by Sun Wukong? A different being living amongst monies.. becomes strong and then goes to live with humanity and fights evil.
Even atla is a wukong ripoff
This is Tarzan. Tarzan is this.
Jai bajrangbali 🚩🚩🚩

A bit late but I’ll still like to praise you for the impressive pronunciation of Sun Wukong! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
The nature of monkey was irrepressible
whos here for black myth: wukong
Given how the Chinese turn every living thing into some type of powerul being, I'm surprised there isn't a rice God.
Next 4 divine beast : genbu , seiryuu , suzaku , byakko
Everybody knows who Kong is supposed human beings he is from the Earth, but born was from the heaven and the Earth same thing with God breathe soul into the dirt. He just came from a rock.
What about when he scratched his name out of the book of dead?
Narrated by Bird Person
In Mandarin it’s pronounced “sooo-en wu kong”. Can somebody tell me the Yue pronunciation by using phonetics?
This is not the complete story tho. Not even half.
THIS A NEW GALAXY IN CURRENCY ASTROLOGY
Thanks for the story insights! Immersive Translate helped me appreciate how Black Myth Wukong reflects the rich tapestry of Chinese mythology and Journey to the West.
