    I thoroughly enjoyed your video. I'm new Journey to the West, but have always had an affinity for romanticized Chinese history (RoTK being a cornerstone of my youth). I would appreciate any additional content you are willing and able to make. 🙏🏻

    Fantastic video. I had a little knowledge of JTTW - In Australia we got the Japanese TV version of the show. It's a real pity we didn't get the Chinese one. But I am really enjoying seeing these different clips and learning from people who really grew up with it.

    I would be grateful if you did a series talking about Journey to the West and the various Buddhist, Taoist and other such themes from the novel and tv series. I am from Ghana in West Africa and we also grew up watching the 1980s journey to the west show. Lots of amazing memories

      @@ZenShenanigans I hope it focuses where the good ending left off. Monkey finally being free from the headband, he finally has the freedom he always wanted. Well a version of him? It would be too much to ask for but I hope we get to go to fight the jade emperor and his court but maybe that will be left for wunkong 2.

    Loved your video! And yes, every Asia kids who grew up in Asia would have known Journey To The West even the iconic song and theme related to it.
    Also I loved how Black Myth Wukong hinted that Wukong had a love interest: Baigujing, the white bone demoness. Man, if they made Black Myth Journy To The West game then I would be excited to see Wukong and his love interested. Because they did reference it in the last chapter.

      I wonder if even some older Asian people who of course also grew up with J t t W were so interested that they also started playing the game. Quite a fun thought I think of some older Asian men playing the game as well^^

    Squares of a number always have some sort of religious and aesthetic bend in Chinese culture. 81 is the square of 9, and it is common to say 9 of 9, 81 of something. You have 8 square, 64 something, or 7 square, 49 of something.

    Buddhism not worship god because Buddhism close to agnosticism if not atheism.
    Gautama is human, not like being seen as god and prefer being seen as teacher. He technically said god is unimportant to human life and told people to just focus on being kind to others.
    Main goal of Buddhism is void or emptiness.
    Journey to the West kind of merge Buddha and Tao so it is supposed to be impossible that Gautama is still alive or exist in the story because he already die far before that time. Wukong is like Tao (before journey) convert to Buddha (after journey).
