Video Description

So you can become a member on my YouTube channel now (there’s a pun here somewhere…) Being a member means you get 30 exclusive videos, all the artwork, all my scripts, a live stream every weekend, exclusive emojis and some other stuff I probably forgot, but… it’s totally worth it. Trust me bro. Link is here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTNLuZPi8CITXso9APoa3AA/join A video on the Jounrey to the West and Sun Wukong was honestly long overdue, and what better occasion than the release of Black Myth Wukong to drop it? So, whether you already played the game, are currently playing or planning to play… there’s much more to Sun Wukong than just the one video game. The staff, the headband, the shapeshifting… it’s all based on an ancient tale: Sun Wukong, aka the monkey king, is the central character of the 16th Century epic Journey to the West, which basically inspired half of all modern anime… most of all Dragonball and One Piece, so yeah… it’s a big deal. 2000 pages of pure epic, and I’m condensing it into 20 minutes. What could go wrong… Notes: Since the Journey to the West is a seriously large book, I obviously omit a lot of the groups’ adventures. Sun Wukong, Sandy, Pigsy and Tang Sanzang get into way, way, way more stuff than I had to chance to touch on in this video. If you want to read the original tale then… more power to you, because that book is seriously old and a chore. There are however modern adaptions of The Journey to The West, some written in a very, very entertaining manner while providing all relevant information. If you want the exact books, drop a comment and I’m happy to share. The game scenes in the beginning are from Black Myth: Wukong. Music by Epidemic Sounds.
