This DC version of sun wukong got me acting a certain way...

[sonicasura]

Also, while I have yer attention: What is *yer* beef with DC’s Monkey Prince?

It's an absolute middle finger to Journey to the West as a whole and character assassination for Batman too. Without going into a rant, Sun Wukong greatly upholds the value of family that he sees his own as subjects like his children/grand children. He wouldn't knock up some woman than leave her alone to raise his child.

The Golden Filet used on Monkey Prince was a torture device. It's purpose being to punish Sun Wukong's misbehavior by squeezing his head, one way to harm the spiritual monkey of the mind. Pigsy is also a terrible pick for teacher as he often lied or got the Monkey King into trouble in the first place. He didn't become a Buddha post journey either.

Batman isn't the Punisher in a bat costume running around traumatizing children either. His original concept never made him a killer since it would make him as bad as the Joker who killed his parents. Batman always gives them a chance to get professional help if you look at the old cartoon 'Batman the Animated Series'.

I hope this helps.

Went to a coffee shop and found these gems.

I had to get them.

But just ... How did I not know about this?

A Dc version of Wukong....

[jttw-m0nkehs1mp]

Aww I totally get it, just know that I will always appreciate your art, wether it be sexy monkey or badass heros/villians or other cool things

Thank you for the loves and reblogs for the artworks I've did for the Wukongverse!

However, in the next recent posts I'll be moving on to another fandom such as DC, so please don't be alarmed that I'm not posting about the Wukongverse currently (I lost my fixation because I haven't consumed any materials regarding Wukongverse recently and I'm losing steam)

I'll will answer the current asks to clear them out and make a revamps for the blog within the next fews days

Thank you and hopefully, we'll met again in the vast Wukongverse again! See you next time!

[nicolekart]

Let me just leave it here... 🧡

Original scene: Steven Universe s01e45 I haven't done animatics for ages. I forgot how much joy it gave me!

It's my little headcanon that Wukong sometimes thinks about that.

Rewriting DC Monkey Prince & Nezha: Fixing the lore

Now, I am going to "fix" the lore of Monkey Prince, and here is where you can criticize me

Credit to @journeytothewestresearch, @sonicasura, @ryin-silverfish

Gene Luen Yang is obviously a fan of Sun Wukong (read American Born Chinese), but he didn't understand the more obscure parts of Journey to the West.

It really did seem like he was writing based on what vague memories he got from watching Journey to the West 1986 (great adaptation) as a child, and didn't doing any more research.

The circlet was a torture device, a restraining bolt to keep Sun Wukong from doing terrible things. It should not be used to help Marcus "practice focus".

Zhu Bajie as a mentor is a weird choice, but it could've worked if it was handled properly (look at Black Myth: Wukong). Instead, we get a blank-slate blob trying to play Uncle Iroh to Yang's self-insert.

The Gold and Silver Demons were two of Laozi's assistants that were sent to test the pilgrims' mettle, and even then, they weren't rampaging across China. They were fairly affable, respectful and loving towards their mother and uncle, and they were even willing to return the monk when their mother was murdered.

After they were defeated, they were returned to their true forms, apologized, and returned to Heaven.

Red Boy's Batman-esque origin was a giant wasted opportunity, and I feel like Yang forgot he existed after #0 pilot, until someone brought it up, and he was forced to make Red Boy relevant.

Dragons are supposed to be incredibly powerful (especially Ao Guang, the eldest brother and Dragon King of the East Sea). Having them living near Atlantis in "Dragontown" retirement home feels a bit like a downgrade, especially considering that Ao Guang's younger kids, Ao Bing and Longnü, are highly respected (Ao Bing became Star Officer of Huagai, Longnü became a disciple of Guan Yin).

If you want to hear me rant about Nezha, click here and here.

Fixing This in 新神榜：孙太子

There is how I would redo it in my rewrite:

I'm borrowing a lot of lore from the New Gods movies

Bull Demon King and Princess Iron Fan were not killed by Darkseid. Instead, Darkseid tried to kill the Jade Emperor.

After Darkseid attacked the Heavenly Court, the Court was in complete disarray. A council of regents, unofficially led by the Queen Mother of the West, are now in charge. Many internal investigations were done in order to "root out the traitors" (get rid of people they didn't like). Many gods and immortals were kicked out of Heaven or replaced.

Sun Wukong mysteriously disappeared. All that is known was that there was an ordered attack on Flower Fruit Mountain, and a conflict between him and Yang Jian, and that was it. Any witnesses to the aftermath were unable to be reached.

Laozi's lab assistants fell to earth and became the Gold and Sliver Demons again, and they are trying to form a crime family.

Nezha was kicked out, and replaced with Devil Nezha, who was held in place by the Huntian Ling. After Devil Nezha realized how he was nothing but a pawn for the amusement of the Court, he tried to rebel, only to be sealed away.

Nezha's weapons were carefully divided up and hidden away.

Nezha fell to earth, and eventually reincarnated into Li Yunxiang.

Ao Bing fell to earth, and eventually reincarnated (with Ao Guang's intervention) into De Zheng.

The Dragon Clans each became major crime syndicates, establishing their own power base.

De 德家 = East

Li 利家 = South

Shun 顺家 = West

Song 松家 = North

Yang Jian is firmly keeping his hands out of Heaven's nonsense, deciding to kick up his feet and take an extended vacation. He only gets involved when he sees that his old friend's reincarnation is in danger.

Red Boy has been studying under Guan Yin, and is close friends with another disciple, a girl who is strangely hush-hush about her past life.

Seeing the chaos of the Lower Realm, the Heavenly Court tries to reestablish control through more insidious methods.

Zhu Bajie does not become Marcus' "Shifu 师父", instead he is his "Martial Uncle 师叔". He's less of a mentor, more like a cool uncle that gives life advice.

It makes sense since Sun Wukong was Zhu Bajie's "Elder Martial Brother 师兄", and how the master-disciple relationship works is an adoption of sorts, with the master become a "father" and the disciple becoming a "son".

Marcus is left to his own devices a lot of the time, which causes problems, which forces Bajie to be more responsible (so Bajie also gets a bit of a character arc).

Marcus gets to have multiple mentors (Yang Jian, Li Yunxiang, etc). There is a constant argument about whether it is a good thing for Marcus to be a hero, or if they should find a way to seal away his powers so he can live a normal life.

Marcus does not get a circlet. Instead, when he does something stupid, Bajie just whacks him upside the head.

Include more characters from Journey to the West. Specifically the ones that are actual threats (or have connections to other characters)

Here are the ones I'm going to use:

Gold and Silver Horn Demons

Nine-Headed Bug/Demon

Lady Earthflow

Hundred-Eyed Daoist

Yellow Wind Demon

Black Wind Demon

Red Boy

[britt-kageryuu]

Considering I only know/read/seen a small amount of different media about or based on Sun Wukong... mostly focused on LMK at the moment.

Learning about the Marvel Comics and DC comics versions are kinda weird, if funny, from some context.

Like the Marvel comic has a Crime Lord essentially being haunted by the spirit of Sun Wukong for somehow stealing his staff, or something. This is based off a blurb summary on "this character in other media".

But!!

The DC comic is focused on Sun Wukongs HUMAN SON, who becomes a hero called Monkey Prince, that looks kinda like Wukong stole Robin's costume and modified it. At least that's just my opinion.

There's only so much you can glimpse from a picture and skimming the wikipedia page.

I almost want to write/search for a crossover meeting where they gripe about their variants of the world after JTTW.

[angstandhappiness]

LMAO

I FORGOT TO ADD THE BONUS LIST OF MACAQUE'S FJDKLFDJ

Liu Er Mihou/Macaque/Six-eared Macaque

Hot Topic - (Emo Monkey. Hot Topic Store. Yeah)

The EX - (Because Shadowpeach go brrr. Not that the class knows that but someone made the joke )

Moon Moon - (Due to Macaque being related back to the Moon but also the Moon Moon Wolf post.)

Trash Panda - (Because I think I remember racoons sometimes being called that as a joke.)

The "Cooler" Monkey - (From the fact he impersonated Wukong and is ‘evil’ therefore obviously cooler (not))

Dobby - (It started with them saying how Macaque was the evil doppelgänger to Wukong only for someone to say Dobby after failing to say doppelganger correctly. Which then spawned the joke of him taking the scriptures from Tripitaka as "Buddah has given Macaque scriptures! Macaque is FREEEEE!!!!" even though none of that happened) Although nothing beats you saying Nezha called him "Dark Lord" I also could have totally made those names into an actually bullet points list but shhh....I was too amazed I could send all those in one ask

OH HELP ME IT GOT BETTER NDJKCNKSKCDS

The way that Moon Moon would be used by Sun Wukong at some point though while Nezha and M&M chirp out "trash panda's here!" when Macaque walks into the room bc theyre petty

See, now Dobby is one of the cuter ones and it's so silly and I love it NJCHCSHJACS

But, you're right. Nothing beats Nezha staring at Macaque dead in the eyes and saying, "Sup Dark Lord?"

[atlamillia]

things I desperately want to rewrite for my own enrichment:

Lego Monkie Kid S5; and honestly some of the world building could use some tweaks in general

Monkey Prince & Lazarus Planet event; really fun concept, execution could've been done better and I feel like the incorporation of Chinese myth into the wider DC setting could've been done better — a lot of things feel like research regarding JTTW and investiture of the gods was surface level understanding at best. I think I could fix him. And the whole crossover event tie-in. Like, there's already a lot of really good villains from JTTW that could've been used, but instead they decided to turn Nezha into an evil demon for... some reason? Raises a lot of eyebrows for me, personally.

Sands of Destruction; this game/anime/manga lives in my head rent free. I honestly kinda like how the anime had more of an interconnected plot between the characters going on — the mystery behind Kyrie's true nature vs what we get in the game. Don't get me wrong the game had some really great elements too — and the manga was... honestly I'm not sure what went on there. Definitely became it's own thing LOL. But I think I could combine the concepts of the game & anime into a fun retelling....

Wakfu; mostly I'd just want to make the world more cohesive; and let Chibi & Grougal actually partake in the plot towards later seasons somehow since... it feels kinda silly to exclude them from being able to reunite with mother, and they would be the same age as Elely & Flopin.

I think I could probably use the Monkey Prince rework as practice for my eventual JTTW project I also want to do actually. DC truly missed a prime opportunity to have Marcus be an interpretation of Sun Luzhen... (reference to one of ancient china's oldest fanfics)

[fanficmaniatic]

Top three charactsrs from any media ?

EASY PEASY

Cole (Ninjago), Jazz (Transformers) and Sun Wukong (Jttw and other media)

My loves. Sun Wukong is a bit iffy. might be actually Dick Grayson from DC... but idk... Sun Wukong has infected brain, hard to say if Grayson is on equal standing or lesser. Sun Wukong just came in like a fungus, you know?

[sonicasura]

Ya know what would’ve made Monkey Prince better? I’d rather than a mentor, there were two friends based off Pigsy and Sandy. Plus maybe a Team Pet based off White Dragon Horse.

It definitely would've worked a bit if it was a next gen group that were similar to JTTW. Teenagers and their pet companion trying to go through everyday life with the misfortune of evil dragging them into trouble for some reason. Any magical nonsense happens without them looking for it.

Not their fault they have a connection to China's biggest legend and it would fit with how the original pilgrims often got wrapped up in things.
