Now there are many and many interpretations of the Story of the Monkey, from different cultures to different feature films.
I'm going to explain in my own words and memories of the origins of the Monkey King.
In which I've heard since I was a child 😏
This is just to prove how much I know on this characters personality I'm taking on.
I doubt anyone can read this, it's not a full detailed story, more of me explaining it to someone who wants to know 😏👍🏻👍🏿
[spoiler]During the...... Song dynasty era where everybody floats and Buddha and stuff
The earth moved!!!
Lightning has smashed into... a statue
Not just any statue
A statue shaped, as a monkey
It had come to life as part of the mystical era of where babies really come from
The monkey woke up and ran across the island
Running around, jumping around like a monkey.
Anyways, he met up with the other stone monkeys
They saw a treasure in the waterfall, and whoever could get the treasure would be named King.
So, he volunteered because he was the bravest
Got treasure and became King
Think of it for them as Cavemen who could talk
Then strangers entered the island and stuff, some bandits, they fought and stuff and they made up and got drunk
One ape suddenly died
The monkey was angry to why he and his friends aren't immortal
The bandits told them a way to become immortal
So..... the monkey and his followers made this hilarious leaf clothing! Built a raft to search for someone who can make him immortal !
For days!! He journeyed through the seas(edited)
When he reached land
There were people, kinda like the village era
People started screaming and running away when they saw him, thinking he was a demon.
He wore a dress, he found
Walked into the village
People screaming and also curious
Anyways, it was hilarious
Then he met a stranger who wasn't afraid of him, and ask a place he can learn to be immortal
The stranger advised him to go to a monestary where a Master can teach him to be immmortal
When he arrived, he knocked on the giant door.
Not once
Not twice
But 13 times!! Cause he was impatient
Already made a bad first impression
Someone finally opened the doors
And let the monkey in
Orders of the master of course
The Monkey walked through the halls and up the steps past the Master's students(edited)
Arrogantly, demanded that the master teach him
The students were shocked
The master refused
So, The monkey tried to attack the master out of anger
The master used his force powers and pushed him down the steps
Magically a caged appeared
The monkey was upset and begged for the master to teach him
The master gave pity to the ignorant monkey and accepted him as a student
But before he can accept him as a student
He needed a name
Sun Wukong
The master gave the monkey a name
So, on initiation day..
He pissed off the master for being.. a monkey
The master left and went back to his quarters to rest
Sun, came to his quarters at night and begged, refused to move until the master forgave him
The master, once again pitied the monkey.
Asked him what he really wanted to learn.
He asked to be immortal, the master said "You must be born immortal"
However, he could teach him the 72 technique thing... I forgot what it's called
It's where he could disguised himself
Create illusions
Fly into the air
So for... 7-15 years
Sun was taught the technique, making trouble and learning
Until one day, he showed it off to the other students in which the master didn't want him to show off because he felt that the monkey was speacial
So he exiled from being his student
And told him to "never make anymore Trouble"
Sun was upset, left and flew back home
Got more drunk.
Now here's what made him famous.
So he was strong now and a King
However, wasn't immortal
And realised he can fly now
So he flew up into the heaven
Looking for the gods
He reached the heavens border patrol, was greeted as a hostile however proclaimed he was a King!
So he went to heaven, met with the gods and asked to become a god
The god guy in charge, humoured him
Gave him a job, so he can be a god UP in the heavens
As
The stable boy
Sun, didn't exactly know his job
So he went there, proclaimed he was the god of the stables
Only to realise, HES A STABLE BOY
He was upset, snuck into the heavens garden
Cause he was hungry.
The gods were preparing a feast
He ate it
Put some in a sack for his kin
Then noticed, when he was lurking around a speacial fruit
He wanted to know where it came from
He went to the secret
Secret
Secret gardens
Talked to the keeper of the secret secret secret garden
Where he told Sun, these fruit have been watered and planted for over 1000 years
If he ate one, he would live longer
Sun, decided to "inspect" claiming he was on speacial duty
He emptied the bag where he stole the gods feast
Collected the speacial fruit
Ate a bunch of them
One bite, threw it away
Go another one
One bite
Threw it away
The keeper came back to check up on him
And realised the fruits have been eaten and he disappeared
The gods were furious
Found him and banished him from heaven!!!
The Monkey was upset, he wanted to be a god however was rejected
Gave his kin the fruits to make them immortal
And proclaimed he was!!
The Great Sage Greater than Heaven!!
Literally a title he made up...
However needed a weapon
He dived into the ocean, met the sea king there
Wanting a weapon and armour
The Sea King wanted to get rid of him
So, tricked into a weapon so powerful....
The monkey wanted to see this powerful weapon!!!
The sea king showed him the giant stick, and said that if he could carry it he could have it.
Sun, jumped on the opportunity for a great weapon
It was soooo big, he wished it was smaller.
The giant stick... got smaller
And smaller
And smaller
And smaller
And what it's known today, as the monkey stick... longer than your typical bo staff
The sea King pleaded him not to take the weapon!!!
Sun, ignored and left
Got his kin together and started a war on heaven!!!
Heaven answered and went down to face the Monkey King!!
Sun, made a diversion and sneak up to heaven while there was a war happening on earth
To face the gods!!!
He was outnumbered!!
So
He ran away
Into the black smiths room
He hid in a furnace
They found him and tried to burn him
He was immortal and could not be burned
Tipped over the furnace
And somewhere on earth, created a desert
He laughed and ran off
The gods could not stop him this time
So, Some god guy who looks like Buddha arrived
To talk to Sun
Something about a deal that if he could reach the end all five pillars of heaven he would make him a god
Anyways....
When Sun turned around, Buddha shrank him
Sun thought he flew over to the ends of heaven
When actually it was The Buddhas hand
So, he assumed he was at the five pillars of heaven
He took a piss on one of the pillars
Also wrote his name to prove he was there on one of the pillars
Sun came back, and the Buddha was laughing
And told him he was tricked
And that he did not reach the end of heaven
The monkey tried to attack the buddhas great big ears
Buddha immediately grabbed him
Threw him down to earth
Put a mountain over him
And a speacial seal so that he can't escaped
He was sentenced to a sort of prison
Trapped under a mountain for messing with heaven
For 50 years
That's the end
Of that chapter

You know, you could be using that artistic talent to make a shit ton of money. You could go up to Cartoon Network or Nickelodeon or Disney and be like "Yo I can make this dank shit" and they'd be like "hell yeah" and you could be making a cool show. But here you are, doing... [i]this[/i]. You have fallen far, old friend.
