For all of his failings, Monkey takes Duty rather seriously, and Filial duty was a big one for China. Throughout the pilgrimage, he's regularly going after people not just because "obstacle" but because they've committed some sort of faux pax, and ditching your wife to two time with another woman is a big one. We've also, notably, reached the point in the story where it becomes a little harder to picture monkey as the guy who caused all that trouble. His character development is real.

The reason the god can summon ghost soldiers is because he was demoted to be a Tudigong, the local land deity, who not only oversee the local geographical location and it's people, but also acts a minor god of death, having an administrative role over the deaths in that area.

It’s pretty interesting how corporate and bureaucratic Chinese mythology is! Like the concepts of suing someone and paper money is very old in China thanks to how centralized and massive the imperial governments of China were for millennia, so I guess it’s no wonder it started seeping into the everyday cultural consciousness, especially for the literate and fairly affluent people of the time who would at least know one person employed in the government and also would be the likely audience for JTTW.

The style, the feel, everything that made me fall in love with the first journey to the west video has remained more consistent than major TV shows. Keep in mind, that video came out over 8 years ago! I found this channel a month ago. I've loved everything about it and I've been binging it. This was my latest binge, but I didn't look at the dates. The Playlist stopped playing and I saw the last video was made a month ago. Slightly dismayed I would have to wait a month or so, I checked the other dates. My heart sank as I saw 1 year ago, 2 years ago, 3 years ago, etc. Suiting for such an epic tale and I wouldn't have it any other way, since it is getting the love and quality it deserves. Still, I can't wait for the next installment. This is my new all time favorite channel ever! Thank you for your amazing videos! You've brought such light and joy to my life!

Iron Fan is probably the most likable redeemable villain in the series up to now (unless you classify Sun as one, which is not *entirely* unfounded). She's good enough to have gotten a human form, doesn't use her power maliciously (Well, not fully putting out the fire is a bit scummy, but at least it isn't a full-on protection racket), has a reasonable motivation for attacking Sun (Red Boy WAS the only one left after BDK's betrayal, and while he deserved his punishment it still broke her heart), didn't even try to attack the heavenly army just because they wounded her pride and actually decided to redeem herself. I hope she and reformed Red Boy get their happy ending. To be fair, the other villains all tried to eat Tripataka, enslaved an entire town, monopolized abortion rights or commited unrepentend thievery and copyright violation, so the bar is pretty low.

Huh. I actually feel really bad for Iron Fan. She didn't deserve anything that happened to her. Her husband ditched her for a richer and prettier woman. Her son was taken away from her, and while he is in a safe place, she'll never see him again. She has to constantly blow away a flaming mountain that Sun Wu Kong caused. And her husband only came back to her when he needed her fan, not her. I really hope all the best for her later on. Because damn, she needs a break. Edit: While yes, she didn't have to keep blowing away the fire, I have a feeling it's the only thing keeping her alive. She's required to sit in one place where her husband can find her. And all she asks from the villagers is a portion of their crops and livestock after. For such a raging, raving fire, it doesn't seem like it's too bad of a trade as compared to some of the other demons we've seen who demand sacrifices of the children in the villages.

Honestly though, it’s strangely sweet to see that the spiritual through-line of bettering oneself through Buddhism can apply to the villains too. We’ve seen a bit of it with Red Son I think, but to have a former villain decide to change their life for themselves and Sun Wukong encouraging that change by keeping to his word and returning the fan feels like some great development.

I get the distinct impression that the Bull Demon King is meant to be Sun Wukong's equal in almost every way. So it makes sense why everyone immediately jumps in to try to stop him: They do NOT want another Monkey King situation on their hands. In fact, that might explain why everything went so well compared to how it normally goes. Since you had not just Sun Wukong, but also an army of ghosts, powerful Buddist warriors, AND a Heaven that's been preparing itself just in case Wukong flies off the handle again, all trying to stop Bull Demon King.
@timothycarney965211 ай бұрын
He is one of Sun Wukong's peers, there is a whole set of demon kings that are his sworn brothers, and while Sun is the strongest and certainly caused the most problems- ie requiring the BUDDA to show up and stop him, the rest are almost as powerful, and just haven't caused enough of a mess to get dealt with, or they saw what happened to Wukong when HE did and have laid low in comparison to him. So of course as soon as he starts potentially being a problem the heaven's escalate to stop him before we get another Monkey King wupping all of heaven scenario- note that it was 4 buddist figures that cornered him before the forces of heaven jump in.

Idk if I've ever said this, but you make Sandy so uncharacteristically wholesome, Monkey and Pigsy are all out havng their differeing levels of Shenanigans and then there's just Sandy genuinely glad they had their fun XD Also I love Princess Iron Fan, she's one of my favorites

In the book, he really is that nice, he never causes troubles for the gang and even tried to defend Monkey in the White Bone Demon Arc. There's even a few scenes with him that are hilarious

@@Tenshi6Tantou6Rei my favorite scene with him was in the 3 Immortals arc, when Monkey goes to wake the others at night to cause mischief together, he shakes Sandy and it goes like this: Monkey: Wake up Sandy! We're going to do something fun! Sandy: Sleep is fun...

With every episode of Journey to the West it just keeps getting better and better. The artstyle, the humor and the story telling are just superb! I lost it at 13:29 of "in case of sun wukong, break galss", at this point only Buddha, infinity gauntlet and ultimate nullifier are able to put him down.

It's a shame that this series was scrapped. You guys were doing a great job adapting the book, and it was clearly well received with most videos having over a million views!

Scrapped? Doesn't this just have a really slow release schedule?
@jemolk89453 ай бұрын
It's still going. Read the release dates of the videos. These things come at a rate of one episode per _year._ The last episode (this one) was released only eight months ago.

I swear, the escalating levels of both your art and Wu’s storytelling are what make each episode of this series spectacular. As someone who is (largely) unfamiliar with the text, this part culminating in a kaiju battle, illustrated in such a ridiculously epic fashion, is nothing short of fucking _awesome._ Each installment is better than the last. Keep up the good work!

Princess Iron Fan actually becoming self actualized makes me very happy. I hope she comes back as an ally in the future... or perhaps just as a cameo. She deserves the biggest break she can get. And a better husband.

Princess Iron Fan spitting out a tiny fan to show who she thinks is her husband with a dopey smile was lowkey very cute for some reason? Lowkey I love Princess Iron Fan. She knew when she was outmatched but was still clever enough to trick Sun Wukong! She's surprisingly tragic for a "monster of the week" and she's done what no other monster has, which was reflecting on her life and changing for the better ON HER OWN TERMS!! No forced rehabilitation by a Bodhisattva or becoming a monk. She decided to be better and she succeeded on her own. I love that.
@danewardlocke9014 Жыл бұрын
Her trick is even better when you consider it and the later reveal of where the fan was actually hidden together. Sun Wukong *almost* found the real fan by complete accident, which was probably *quite* a shock for Princess Iron Fan, but she managed to redirect his attention so he never realized that he actually passed the thing twice.
