EmberHOST
They're making very general mass market games.
EmberHOST
that are true to Chinese culture, right? Like Black Myth Wukong, for example, is based on a very popular, the Journey of the West story from, God, it was like, what, 400 or 500 years ago? Based on the Monkey King character.
EmberHOST
Phantom Plate Zero is very unapologetically Wuxia, which is not.
EmberHOST
I mean, I don't know if Wuxia has ever been really popular in the United States and the West in general.
UchiHOST
Looks like
HeeshGUEST
Indian some Wukong, bro.
UchiHOST
That's, oh my God.
UchiHOST
Legit? Bro, in the trailer, my man punches a fucking flying elephant.
HeeshGUEST
Now that you...
HeeshGUEST
When you talk more about it, I'm like thinking, okay, well, it's like it's their journey to the West.
HeeshGUEST
Some Wukong went so far to the West, he ended up reaching Ramayana.
HeeshGUEST
Yeah.
MichaelHOST
There's some references.
MichaelHOST
There's Sun Wukong, but he's wearing a dunce cap for some reason.
MichaelHOST
There's Iron Man in the background.
MichaelHOST
What was it you were pointing out on the other page? Hellboy's on the other page.
John ZhuHOST
And except it was a fake temple and a real trap laid by a demon.
John ZhuHOST
And Sansang, of course, insisted on walking into that trap, despite Sun Wukong frantically waving his arms and trying to stop him.
John ZhuHOST
Well, Wukong got trapped inside a magical pair of golden symbols while the rest of his party were captured.
John ZhuHOST
With a little help from some gods sent by the Jade Emperor, Wukong managed to escape, destroy the symbols, and wake up the entire cave of demons.
John ZhuHOST
But Yellow Browse was not intimidated at all.
John ZhuHOST
He used one hand to wield his mace to keep his attackers at bay, while his other hand unlatched an old white cloth sack from his waist and tossed it skyward.
John ZhuHOST
With a loud whoosh, the sack immediately sucked up Sun Wukong, the constellations, and the guardians.
John ZhuHOST
Throwing the sack over his shoulder, Gallowbrows returned to his sanctuary in victory with his minions.
speaker_3HOST
Not to be that guy.
speaker_3HOST
I mean, I see the comparison, but the actual deity that would be Son Goku would be Son Wukong from Chinese myth.
speaker_3HOST
I know, but give me this goddamn you.
speaker_3HOST
I'm never going to give you anything because you interrupted me.
Raymond DokevilleHOST
And you see that in a lot of myths.
Raymond DokevilleHOST
You know, another example of this is the Chinese novel Journey to the West, The Monkey King.
Raymond DokevilleHOST
And it's also very similar to The Odyssey.
Raymond DokevilleHOST
It's about, you know, these sort of vagabonds who go on a journey west to retrieve the Buddhist scriptures and attain enlightenment.
Raymond DokevilleHOST
And he's praised for that.
Raymond DokevilleHOST
His trickery is considered a good thing.
Raymond DokevilleHOST
And also I see the same kind of trend happening where in modern adaptations of the Monkey King, he's less played down as a sort of flimsy, skinny, non-muscular, tricky person, which he really was, and turned into sort of like a very serious masculine figure.
Raymond DokevilleHOST
Mm-hmm.
UchiHOST
Right? It's like Akira Toriyama got to do a crossover with the actual Journey to the West.
UchiHOST
Like actual Sun Wukong.
UchiHOST
You know? Having Goku with Sun Wukong, that would be like the same thing.
UchiHOST
That's almost like JJK and Demon Slayer teaming up with Bleach.
UchiHOST
Straight up.
Johnny MacHOST
We are told tens of thousands of revelers in costumes ranging from evil bartenders to Donald Trump packed an entertainment zone as Hong Kong lit up for Halloween celebrations, stretching over three weekends.
Johnny MacHOST
Huang Wei was dressed up as the beloved Monkey King of Chinese mythology.
Johnny MacHOST
The 34-year-old says being here gives me this real carnival vibe.
Johnny MacHOST
It's a great way to completely let loose and release ourselves after work.
speaker_0NARRATOR
The climax is often the scene of Hanuman in Lanka, with fire.
speaker_0NARRATOR
Hanuman's leaps and his cleverness have sometimes been compared to those of Sun Wukong, the Monkey King of the great 16th-century Chinese novel Journey to the West, who also leaps across the sky, grows and shrinks at will, and serves a holy master on a long journey.
speaker_0NARRATOR
Some scholars have suggested that Hanuman's stories, carried along with Buddhism into China, may have helped to inspire him.
speaker_0NARRATOR
Others think the resemblances are coincidence, or that the Monkey King grew mainly from Chinese sources.
speaker_0NARRATOR
The question is still debated.
speaker_0NARRATOR
And in India itself, Hanuman remains a figure of popular culture as much as of worship.

战略合作伙伴。
卢丙GUEST
比如说沙僧和孙悟空是好朋友吗？对吧？他一直都在说，这大师兄说得对啊，但是他不一定就是，就是，但是我的意思就是说，这个世界上离就是无脑的这种撑腰最远的距离就是理解。我觉得你如果理解你的朋友，你就应该知道你朋友在什么情况下会大概会有个什么样的反应，对吧？那我觉得我不告诉君上任，根据我对于我大部分的朋友的认知来说，我不认为，就是以我对他们的了解，they will have a good reaction。我觉得这个就是我的一个结论。刚才黄执中的视频没来看啊。[笑声]
司期HOST
我觉得就是我里边想补充一个点哈，就是我们所有在这里面声张的只有一件事情，就是把你的朋友当一个成年人去对待，当一个成年人去尊重。成年人是可以自己做一个蠢决定的。可以，我是他朋友，会跟他在一起，但是他得自己做这个决定。所有的那些不告诉里边什么我保护你啊，会伤心啊，你会很难受，bad reaction，所有东西里面都有一种很傲慢的心态。
MaggieGUEST
。就是我比他更知道什么对他好。
