It's time for monkey!
He is resourceful! He has a staff that reaches the sky!
He is SUN WUKONG!
A mythical monkey born from a stone egg bathed under the holy light of the sun and the moon. The most known character of the novel, the famed protector of Tang Sanzang, and the one who seemly managed to turn around a quest for spiritual enlightment into one for power, and knowledge.
To climb up, and up, and up not to understand what is around him, nor to achieve some sort of enlightened view of both the spiritual, and material world. Sun Wukong does this because he wants to, he needs to know what goes beyond because of his own desire disconnected from any kind of earthly, or religious explanation. It doesn't matter if all the world is against him, even if Buddha himself slapped him down a peg, and sent him to guard Tang Sanzang, it seems that Sun Wukong will do as monkeys do.
It's going to be very interesting to see how the complete antithesis of our introduced buddhist monk travels to the west while obeying his heavenly punishment. Sun Wukong strikes me as a very calculating yet reckless character who is probably more hands on with problems, even when the situation does not need it.
Also this:
"It is this passionate devotion to his home, to Tripitaka and his cause, that sets Monkey apart from the rest of the pilgrims." 👀🏳️‍🌈???
