this is impressive. so pictures, skript, voice, description made by ai right? What about the music?

[@AzHeIz3]

I really appreciate these videos. I've gotten so invested, that I can't even bring myself the playing the game until these videos get through chapter 100.

[@aboutthegiggins4236]

Black myth isn't canon

[@Starforce3]

i just binged your first 3 videos and you upload part 4 13 minutes later. im blessed

[@p00pTanK]

Right there with you.

[@darrellhall9141]

I watched the first three yesterday and just finished this one. I started playing Black Myth Wukong last night and it's awesome. These videos make me want to read the novel.

[@Starforce3]

@@darrellhall9141 i cant play black myth at work so im using the videos to study up on the lore! Honestly i should get the book

[@darrellhall9141]

@Starforce3 same here. I been listening to these videos at work to hear the story and now I would love to read the books for the full story. I'm only a couple hours into the game but it's awesome 😎

[@NoMi_Nomad]

Watched all 4 last night, open KZbin tonight and a part 5 drops??? My guy it’s not even Christmas

[@gregsupaki]

Xuanxang is really an opp sometimes. “I hate violence, let me squeeze tf out of your head rq” Also dude stays getting fooled 😂

[@banditmc12]

I think that’s his flaw, as everyone in the group has one. The rigidity of his dogma blinds him to more balanced views, and lets him excuse his misdeeds as for the cause, but he’s one of the more pure ones in the story already.

[@YouAlreadyKnowBabi]

STAYYYYYS getting fooled for real hahah! For such a devine being he sure is a dumbass

[@nightcatcher716]

The amount of god/goddess pets that go rouge and become powerful demons is shocking

[@Yotanou]

ikr lool

[@Rick-le9wr]

and the gods are so nonchalant about it. like ahh the demon that caused an entire village to suffer was my goldfish, my apologies. 😂😂😂😂

[@dontcallmypo]

Thank You so much for the videos. It’s helping me understand so much while playing Black Myth Wukong.

[@leelay5919]

After already watching the first 3 videos I'm just going to comment to push the algorithm for you absolute quality videos nothing more needs saying

[@editorjohn8803]

Listening to these stories, I'm entirely focused, not distracted by anything else. Hope to see more videos on Chinese lore

[@caroldelacruz1044]

Need part 5 ASAP!!! I’m hooked on this story

[@sonsofthewestredwhiteblue5317]

I really love these stories and always have and I especially love how despite all the action and duplicity and twists and turns the eventual outcomes and the subtle ways you can see the emphasis of the story is purity of heart and intent will always carry the day in the end.

[@WAXGETA512]

I LOVE EVERY PART SO FAR DEFINITELY WATCHING THIS MULTIPLE TIMES

[@damienkrawczuk1435]

Eagerly awaiting part 5! The deep well of lore is truly inspiring, I'm at a loss of words how this story has moved me so much, just... Wow, I truly love your work

I'm about to buy black myth wukong after this video

[@DaRealPookieRay]

You won't be disappointed definitely worth the money

[@waerokinghuang8603]

Thank you so much for your amazing work

[@bluebelt1235]

In the novel Bull King straight up abandons his wife for a younger, richer Fox demoness. Yet in alternate adaptations like Monkie Kid, he’s loyally in love with her. If only the original was more like his counterparts

[@HHTwice]

Based bull king

[@MegaMoedollaz]

thanks for making this series……very informative and great watch

[@-RONNIE]

I appreciate the next part of the story

[@Xertes1242]

Omg poor little monkeyking he is stuck in a role of caretaker with extraordinary abilities but that stupid monk never listened and his fellow disciple are more of a burden than helpers I pity sun wukong's fate this is terrible

[@mikedelgrande5296]

So why does the monk guy even want protection if he’s just going to reprimand Wukong every time he protects him? Like when he sent him away from the party and then later had to be saved by Wukong. He didn’t even apologize to Wukong for being wrong. In fact he expect Wukong to apologize to him which is completely backwards and weird. Don’t get me wrong, I love this story and love Black Myth but there’s some really strange writing decisions that I don’t quite fallow.

[@uprising7416]

These videos skim over some details. You would have to look at the actual dialogue to see how it really went down

[@streetman6661]

The monk is the master teacher to the disciples. They are not equal. The disciples have to be obedient to their teacher to learn and to follow, even their teacher is wrong sometimes. This story is exactly talking about the dilemma in life that we have to obey sometimes even we know our boss or superior are wrong. It’s not strange. It’s life.

[@zedthemonk8931]

I hear you, something is off in this, first every demon want to eat him, and those demons are gods pets, and yet you have to go up ask for help and come down

[@myqueentitanbug28]

[@tonymathew5618]

I would like to watch a live action series of this story. Waiting for the next part though!!

[@520hzyckming]

1986西游记

[@dungtranquoc2788]

There's 2 adaptation versions that I recommend The 1986 version, which is imo the most accurate adaptation of the story. The TVB 1996 version, which is also quite accurate, although not as the 1986 one, but add more humor, plot twist and tension, etc. Most of the post-2000s adaptation tries to modernize the story too much and kinda loses its originality.

[@Kohbruh]

Hmm, human seed bag. I may have one of those.😂😂😂

[@Batofgotham1902]

I have been listening to the last 3 videos, And sorry I might have missed but can anyone tell me what happened to the White horse dragon? Where is he/she now from the story in last 2 videos?

[@wildshotman6407]

let's go last part I'm waiting !!!❤

[@SavannoBaalphegore]

Hey just found your channel today and im captivated as hell, i don't need to unravel it formyself on several wikipedia and wiki sites or videos where i can't comprehend what is even said due to dialects, accents or misinformations... THANK YOU.. Finally i can create the planned multiverse for my D&D-Campaigns xD Just to ask.. Do you plan on making videos for celtic/Arthurian mythology? or slavic mythology with sub-videos to transylvanian gothic type of lore?? or mesoamerican/american and Yoruba/african and oceanic mythologies?? Just asking ... im so hyped right now, can't hold myself, i'm sure its a whole lot of work and study :D

[@gavinmercer9280]

No ones talking abt how wukong straight up made a drug to make that king happy. Cool to hear things like that in ancient stories

[@dingdongchingchong8659]

Good job trying to capitalise on the money making while wukong is a hot topic right now.

[@sonsofthewestredwhiteblue5317]

Brilliant dude. 🙏🇦🇺🥰

[@TheGenioInformatico-ju1hs]

Here in case you wondering why the story structure seems repetitive The repetitive structure in Journey to the West, where Sun Wukong battles a demon, fails to defeat it, and then a deity intervenes to reclaim the demon because it’s a runaway servant or pet, serves several purposes: 1.Divine Control: The stories highlight that true power lies with the gods, not with mortals like Sun Wukong. The challenges are more about testing and teaching Wukong humility and obedience rather than genuine threats. 2.Learning Through Repetition: The recurring structure reinforces themes of learning and spiritual growth. Each test pushes Wukong to understand his limitations and the importance of cooperation. 3.Illusion and Reality: These episodes emphasize the theme of illusion. What seems like a formidable threat often turns out to be a mere illusion, teaching that reality isn’t always what it appears to be, a key concept in Buddhist thought.

[@PugFitNation]

I wonder what AI you used to generate the images, I can tell because AI like to put 6 fingers and other details. But good.

[@Nobdythere]

I live that at first Sun takes on all of heaven and wins. But after yhe Journey to the West starts, he struggles against most opponents and ends up needing divine help to win 😂. I know its supposed to be a message in hunilty and whatnot, but it still sgows why power levels in storytelling are all cap.

[@markv8]

19:11 - Bruh what happened to the pig here lmao

Damn~Why do you use a picture of Caesar for the cover of Wukong, Although it is an AI picture。

[@lydiajasmine4520]

MORE!!!!

[@versacehibachi2755]

This story is such a mess 😂 every chapter they either get trapped or taken hostage and wukong just finds some other god that’s more powerful the his foe and then out of no where wukong has these abilities just chillin that he doesn’t even use until way later in the story.

[@keithhoward8232]

Not to mention like half the stories are just about gods not keeping after their pets & the pets turn into demons.

[@NoRelationRuckus]

@@keithhoward8232And not to mention The Monk not listening to Wukong which gets them in these situations 😂😂 oddly reminds me of Dante inferno 😂

[@fishoverseasable]

The author actually uses some of those stories as political satire to criticize the governor and officials in China

[@versacehibachi2755]

@@fishoverseasable that makes sense as well, it is an interesting story don’t get me wrong and I can see how it has been popular for long, but I just couldn’t help but notice all these plot holes

[@lashonnakennybrew4847]

I can't imagine what Wukong went through this journey for but he probably went through endless amount of pain in Hell going through this journey that's what you got to show respect to the Monkey King

[@Yotanou]

I really love the story and thanks for the vid ! BUT why do they keep calling for help on divine forces as soon as they face too strong for them?🤔 It feels a bit anti-climatic as I feel they never in real trouble cause at the end, they just keep asking celestial being to deal with their situation... I thought the Journey To the West was about series of various challenges you have to overcome as a group to be worthy of the ending reward so its a bit disapointing tbh. Also, all those demons that want to eat the monk .... actually NEVER do it even though they have him prisoner, like why are they waiting for Wukong and other to come back free him instead of devoring him asap? Feels like the monk have a plot armor all the time which is a bit anticlimatic. Nevertheless love the story and characters, but its tough to pretend those plot flaws are not there so it kinda diminish my enjoyment a bit.

[@jaynoc3113]

I'm shocked that wukong ain't recognize the illusion of the 🐂 in disguise.. He recognized damn near everyone else. Y would the pig brother all for the fan?? All he went through.. He should of knew not to give the fan up. Not too bright of wukong.. The 🐒 👑

[@aps125]

According to Taoism any living creature or even non living objects (rock or example) can gain supernatural power and immorality. But only human can ascend to deity and entitled to live in heavenly palace with their peers. Animals become yokai/monster/demon and stuck on earth. In the game most bosses are the latter type. Conversion between Taoist and Buddhist divine being is allowed however. Wukong was a good example, he started as a Taoist tokai, converted to Buddhism and achieved Buddha hood at the end.

[@prastagus3]

9 headed-beast - orochi in Japan. 7 female spider guais are in the game.

The hundred eyes demon lord is also in the game, his body is half centipede which make senses now cos of this storytelling
