This has literally been the best summarization of the entire story of journey to the west. Amazing effort to pump out all those videos in such a short amount of time

[@JasssparDesign]

The power of AI. I can't even tell if the person narrating is a real human 😂

[@heathazezero3967]

Hearing the full story all the way till the end i honestly teared up. So beautiful

[@amumu10]

This dropped just as I finished pt 4, perfect timing!

[@andywallace56]

I've watched and listened to the entire series and thoroughly enjoyed it. I've known the story for most of my life but never fully followed it to the end. This work is excellent. I really look forward to your next project.🙈🙉🙊

[@sinnieleeonUtube]

I tried on multiple occasions BUT couldn't finish watching a Wukong movies because it was boring, even the one with Donnie Yen and Chow Yun- fat in it. However, I stumbled across your channel last night and gave it a try. I finished all 4 parts in one sitting last night and saw this final one today. Your narration is pretty interesting and exciting throughout. It's like one adventure after another. 🙂 Thanks.

很多人诟病[西游记]总是被翻拍。实际上因为第一版的西游记因为技术原因，制作得很粗糙。后面翻拍得又不尽人意，一直没有制作出令人满意的版本，所以要一直重制

[@reckless4tee]

Xuanzang is worst than Peach from Mario. Keep getting kidnap. 😂

[@MythicalArcana]

LOL 😂

[@jinnimoo]

He is the og 'damsel in distress' trope in Asian literature 😂

[@mondiprjr]

Just watched all the parts in one sitting in work loved it!

[@soulknight89]

Thank you for such an amazing summarization of the Journey to the West. ❤️

[@tylercosgrove5869]

I appreciate this summary so much. Amazing job.

[@bretonhiggins8769]

Great summary. Really appreciate all the effort!

[@MythicalArcana]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@whutch1]

After watching all five parts, it was mind blowing to see just how many tropes I’ve seen across media, that can be traced back to this story. Even stuff I never would have guessed. Thank you for the videos!

[@jinnimoo]

Journey to the West set the foundation and template of Eastern fantasy literature. Sun Wukong was the og protagonist of all protagonists.

[@jamirpickett7775]

That was amazing u know wukong is one of my favorite characters in mythology’s

[@PapaMead]

This is quite a formidable story

[@rileybasher8688]

Such a good series, thanks for putting it together!

[@holyheretic3185]

At the beginning of black myth wukong, sun wukong says "my master - safe. The scriptures - sound." Im starting question how safe he really is dude could be in a locked door in heaven and still wind up kidnapped! This has been a great story and I look forward to watching some of the videos based on people in this and the game.

[@jinnimoo]

Wukong's master is the og 'damsel in distress' trope in Asian literature 😂

[@StephenYoung1379]

He means he succeed in protect the Tan San Zang the monk and completely the journey.

[@wherethegreatestplay3529]

Thank you for making this series. I’ll will definitely be subscribing.

[@tony484x]

I like black myth wukongs ending of wukong breaking free and gaining the freedom he always yearned.

[@shuioso5105]

the amount of times wukong got banished was hilarious to me... "Whew that demon almost ate me..thank you for getting rid of that demom Wukong, NOW GET OUT OF MY SIGHT....AGAIN "

[@kaliascriver7323]

Great telling of the story. I appreciate the focus on the story as opposed to modern references and jokes scattered through the video. Not to say thats a horrible thing. I appreciate hearing just the story.

[@jacoboreore]

I've watched all 5 chaps in a sit. Outstanding work.

[@T.ruH.eroU.nderG.od86]

I couldn't wait for this to drop.👍🏾

[@Jonderlei]

Listening to all of these has made the game so much cooler to play, actually having an idea who the characters are and what happened makes it so much more interesting.

[@nickmartinez4435]

Agreed! Exactly what brought me Here

[@stephenbristow3178]

Great story loved it

[@slchu9259]

Brilliant narrative

[@wildshotman6407]

best summary on KZbin ❤ !!! thanks for this 🙏

[@condore76]

❤the full story 1-5 great narration. Usually prefer individual character sound like a movie or play but really enjoyed the story an narration

[@minyu5612]

Thank you so much for explaining the mythology

[@Chewiejds]

Finished this and now I’m gonna start the book. Watched this so I wouldn’t have to, but liked it so much that now I want to!

[@kimkuere9149]

Thank you.

[@JodaroKujo]

Thanks to him, he was the reason a character who would have a major impact on the world was made

[@louisbrown4620]

You did a fantastic job with this.

[@battousai2089]

Yes! A great game deserves a great story.

[@Cusher667]

It feels like it's the same 3 stories repeated over and over lmao

[@MythicalArcana]

A lot of the chapters are similar. very common for wukong to go into demons bodies, very common for demons to be the pets of gods that went rogue, and very common for daoist being portrayed as evil and Buddhism as good lol

[@nightmareknee942]

They travel, meet a demon in disguise, the demon tries to eat the holy man, wukong saves him, then gets banished. 😂 Rinse and repeat. I still like the story though

[@ryanbigmack9432]

Watched all the way to the end and dropped a sub, FANTASTIC retelling of such a long and winding story 🤝

[@xeo3994]

What a legendary and incredible epic, thanks for making these 🙏

[@nastytechniquez9685]

Finished part 4 yesterday. Perfect timing

[@alvensonsingletonjr.5570]

New to the channel but i understand the fan base great work i loved every episode even rewatched them just because they were so entertaining

[@glenchua3315]

Your artwork is fantastic. Absolutely creative, artistic and master pieces. They are marvelous !

[@IkatteiruPanda]

Thanks for this series of videos!

[@darrellhall9141]

Amazing job on this series. I will definitely be getting the novel at some point in the near future. I was looking for a summary of the story before playing Black Myth Wukong and ended up finding the very best one. You definitely got my subscription and I look forward to checking out more of your content 😎

[@damienkrawczuk1435]

Phenomenal job with your reading, truly inspirational, I really admire your work, I honestly felt like I was apart of Sun Wu Kong's journey by the way you read it, looking forward to your next vid/project take care till then and Thankyou 😊👌

[@martywittenberg1427]

I enjoyed watching this as i recently started playing the game: Black Myth:Wukong I have known the story for a longer time but never had the chance to understand the journey or the legend better or in full so i was looking for a good telling of the tale without any gimmicks or disturbing flashy montages. And you did a great job. Now i have some backinfo going into the game. I even encountered references ingame pointing towards this story which is only logical. Keep up the great work. You at least get a like for every Video from me. And i will check out more of your work.

[@georgeg3487]

I watched and enjoyed all 5 parts of these videos. You absolutely earned and deserve my like and subscription. Thank you so much for making these videos. Very well done 😁

[@-RONNIE]

Thanks for the video it was a good series 👍🏻

[@MrTreb88]

What a nice journey with you! Continue making this kind of stuff!!! Goodwork!

[@t1czer]

So much suffering could be avoided if gods and other divines paid attention to their pets...

[@Batofgotham1902]

Thank you brother for these videos. Really love it!!

[@TheChewbaca69]

This has made my work days fly by. Great story. Thanks. The game kinda makes sense now lol.

[@foreverskeptical1]

Thank you for this series, its so well made

[@Faizaud]

Where did all the artwork through these parts come from? It's amazing

[@jeffreywong5438]

For those non-chinese speaker who interested in the full story, I highly recommended to watch the TV series/ drama Journey to the West 2011 with english sub. This drama is closet to the original novel with little change to the story, it has 66 episodes with 40 minutes length.

[@becalove1748]

OMG I loved this!!! The first time I heard about the monkey King was 25 years ago it fascinated me then and it's still fascinates me today. Would it be possible for you to do the stories of India too?!?! That would be fricken awesome, cause these were super amazing 😍🤩😍

[@MythicalArcana]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! Absolutely, india mythology is massive though so i need to plan on how to start

[@upiocolecionadordegames]

Quem tá aqui pelo jogo Black Mint Wukong 😍 Upiiiii 🌀 Vitória SEMPRE 🌀😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@usercurious]

Moral of the story: Always listen to monkey king or you'll be eaten or forced to marriage, next river or montain, especially if you're naive spiritual Monk. Also the bad guy is either a rogue pet of a god, then better just go ask him to take it back, or a daiost then it's weak and you can easily beat him, because boddism is superior.😂😂😂. Nice novel I liked it. Growing watching anime I couldn't tell much difference.

[@LoneWolf-ys9ut]

damn, wu kong carry the team for the whole journey. Sanzang being kidnapped cannot be separated 😂

[@blizzyhan]

The no. 1 thing I’ve learned about Wu Kong is bro gets eaten a lot hahaha

[@vietnamesebeauties]

We, Vietnamese 🇻🇳 Chinese language faculty university students, are slowly watching this "Chinese drama" episode by episode 😅😅 Support this channel & playing "Black Myth: Wukong"! ⛽⛽

[@MrCatfysh]

Could not play Black Myth Wukong without completing this first

[@lashonnakennybrew4847]

Sun Wukong really was a true king in a monkey of a story to tell going to the Journey to the West only to get trapped by a giant massive Buddha bigger than the planet Earth at least Wukong Never back down from a challenge or fight

[@SwagEverlasting]

Why does the monk agree to get married on monkey’s request but when monkey says aye my demon third eye says that’s a demon monk is like no way? lol

[@masondukeofkale]

So many steeds and pets turn into demons. Dayum.

[@jhesoze2079]

You should pin the other parts. Great summary.

[@MythicalArcana]

Good idea!

[@MalaysianBlobeye]

Where are the artworks from

[@MuSiC-oq3lb]

Whats crazy is that all these pets of the gods was doing all this evil for so long and they never did anything about it untill Wukong steps in now them gods care 😂😂😂😂

[@4nDi]

Here is a twist for you. Do you know why the game creator name it “Black Myth”? They want to throw in the idea of what IF the whole Journey to the west never happened. WuKong never saved by Tang Xuanzang and he did not accompany him to the pilgrimage. He was still a violent monkey who loves to battle. Remember the first teaser they drop of an old monk telling “everyone knows about the myth of a monkey traveling with a monk (Journey to the West), but what if it never happened” and then stories fade into us in the gameplay. That old monk is resemblance Wukong in an old form. Still trapped under the five pillars mountains by Buddha. Go watch the first teaser again. It will open up a lot of thoughts😂

[@TheShoelessGuy]

In the opening scene, wukong says "my master, safe. The scriptures, sound."he went on his journey to the west. Black Myth is an imaginative tale of what COULD have happened after the fact. The man wukong fights in the opening scene (I forget his name) mentions wukong's ascent to Buddhahood, even mentions his Buddha title," victorious fighting Buddha"

[@Mortarion-xt9wp]

​@@TheShoelessGuyif I remember correctly he was ErLang, the three-eyed warrior god himself. In the first cinematic he said that he did beat Wukong once, which happened during the heavenly war before the journey.

[@4nDi]

All their adventures are halted by demons manifested from the deity. Make you think what heck are the deities doing on their time not noticing their pets are gone and havoc human realms 😂😂😂

[@4nDi]

The Jade Rabbit got sent back to the moon and punished to make moon cake for every autumn moon cake festival

[@xman7688]

They really gotta stop swallowing this guy 😂

[@Kastor0311]

But what did the actual scriptures say? Anything specific? Or boiler plate stuff? "be kind to one another, always go to temple on Sunday"...

[@juliussilangcruz3309]

Guess the DLC of BMW will be in lion camel ridge going to India 💪💪💪

[@omega_rc]

Story of dumb and dumber and dumber and dumber 😂 I wish they would all just shutup and listen to Wukong.

[@pree76]

Anyone playing Black Myth Wukong know why xuanzang basically leads to wukong getting killed in the beginning of the game by tightening the crown??? and where is he during the game

[@jinnimoo]

I believe Guanyin also has the power.

[@arzalnabil1221]

is there more story of sun wukong after journey to the west?

[@cbcl531]

maybe it is in your brain.

[@rajabarua1033]

Jai Hanuman.

[@sephiroth8724]

Is it me or Shwan Zhang is completely fucking useless. He’s always getting abducted and provides no support in the field what so ever.

[@ginnungagapabyss5639]

Somebody should really take away the god's pets. They're doing something to make them become demons.

[@SonarHD]

Moral of the story: Dieties are the worst pet owners 😅.

[@kushalish1347]

Not all heroes wear capes 😂

[@Warrior-Of-Virtue]

The playlist is in reverse order.

[@MythicalArcana]

Thanks. Fixed it.

[@cathalcarroll8001]

First off deities need to get servants children steeds and pets under control second off wukong just keep the monks he is contnusly captured over and over and stop picking strange women In bad situations

[@jinnimoo]

Now Destined One, you are ready for the journey 🙏 Enjoy Black Myth: Wukong

[@illhitu4034]

This guy gets kidnapped more than mokuba kaiba

[@The_RealWilliam]

Tetragrammaton? That's the first time I have ever heard this applied to any non-Jewish religion.

[@wrhytz]

Tukong tought not Mukong.

[@just-Boldi]

Soo basicly we go Wu-kong who was the heart of the party the strongest and the op guy and without him they just always struggle. The monk always got kidnapped pfhu i love the story and all but gosh the peapole at that time didnt really have that much creativity as nowdays i mean yeah basicly that was the base of every modern adventure product but we couldnt say this story ist boring at sometimes😅

[@SH19922x]

Like the Odyssey, Sun Wukong is full to the brim with absolutely stupidity and nonsense. Both are great literature masterpieces with mass amounts of bullshit within them and I'm not talking about the mythology or the creatures designs but how stupid every character is at times to be convenient to the plot.
