It's breaking its own record again tonight:

Just a hair under 2.4 million now.

Sort of weird the headless guy has an Irish accent when he’s not singing. The monkey king’s voice in Chinese reminds me of Chow Yun Fat’s voice. The first time you hear it… that voice is not what you think it would be. I guess it sounds like what a monkey would sound like. The English version he sounds like Star Scream from the 80’s Transformers cartoon tv show. I wonder if it’s the same guy.

My guess is, the Chinese accent of headless guy and his singing form is from northwestern China. And Ireland is in northwest too.

Wukong is currently the best seller in almost every country on Steam. Only exception I found is South Korea where it is #2.

One thing I really like is that they got the design of Bajie mostly right. In the original novel he is a wild boar, not a domestic pig, and the 86 adaptation got it really wrong because there were no white domestic pigs in China until the 20th century because they were a British export. Even domestic pigs in China were black or mottled before that.

They did make the design less scary than the original by giving him a big bobble head however.

Dumb question here, why's Wukong (his reincarnation/whatever) fighting Bajie? Aren't they supposed to be buddies? He looks possessed, what's going on?

Since Wukong came out jai hinds on reddit have really got their jimmies rustled. Its hilarious going through their comment history and its full of posts trying to insert india into the conversation.

Only some of the things in Wukong are inspired, but most of them don't have any connections to India because this is a Chinese story.

But like, the actual Buddhist stuff that originated from India - they don't even believe in those anymore.
That's not even me saying it, that was literately the real Sanzang's thoughts when he arrived. Eventually he hang around and found some buddhist, but he thought he missed the boat on the height of Buddhism because he saw all those abandoned temples.

Ah yes wewuz Sun Wukong n shiet.

Have they ever asked why people know about Sun Wukong and not their original Monkey God? Maybe their lore is not as interesting? There seems to be some entitlement where if they do some rudimentary version they get to claim credit for everything after it. No wonder India will never develop with that mindset. Basically always looking backwards and never forward.

Huxley was right about them. They spend more time trying to say how they created everything back then without leaving any trace of how to reproduce it instead of just doing it now. I discovered the first wheel so I get to magically claim credit for spaceships and whatever.

A lot of Indian history had to be rediscovered by the British and other people like China right now. So apparently it was never important or even known in their ancient scriptures until someone else discovered it. And then Jai Hinds have the gall to claim credit for it.

Here's a good way to deal with a Jai Hind. Ask what specific scientific theory or invention did ancient India have according to the ancient scriptures that modern science hasn't obtained yet.
