Monkey King Hero Is Back Dvd
Diante Scharsch
500 years later, Mountain Trolls attack a group of travelers, all except for a baby boy named Liuer are killed, and Liuer is adopted by a monk after floating down a river in a basket. (The name Jiang Liuer means River Flow Child.) Several years later, the same trolls invade a small village and kidnap 49 young children. Liuer saves one of the baby girls and is chased by the trolls for doing so. He stumbles into the cave where the Monkey King was imprisoned, and unknowingly releases him from his curse. Sun Wukong defeats the trolls, although he is only able to use physical attacks, since a remnant of Buddha's seal prevents him from regaining his magical powers, causing him pain whenever he tries to harness his magic.
Wukong attempts to break the Buddha's seal to no avail. Liuer and the girl enthusiastically greet Wukong, not knowing he has lost his powers, and pester him with endless questions. (One example is when Liuer asks if the god Nezha is a boy or a girl. Wukong answers, a girl.) Annoyed, Wukong attempts to avoid the two, but is unable to evade them. A stone monster, created by the Buddha to keep Wukong imprisoned, attacks the three. Liuer manages to undo the spell on the monster, but falls off a cliff in the process. When he awakes, he finds out Wukong has saved him.
The three come upon Pigsy, the Heavenly Immortal "Tian Peng Yuan Shuai" (Marshal of Heavenly Canopy) that Wukong defeated when he rebelled against Heaven 500 years ago, now reincarnated into a pig demon. Though Wukong is again hesitant, Pigsy joins the group as well. They also run into a white dragon that attacks them and tries to eat Liuer but Sun Wukong scares it off. (This also happened in the original canon, although unlike in the original books, the dragon does not turn into a white horse.)
They stay overnight at an inn, but its owners turn out to be Trolls in disguise, who try to kidnap the baby. More trolls arrive and Wukong fights them off. The leader of the monsters, Hun Dun, appears, defeating Wukong and capturing the girl. After Wukong refuses to pursue them, Liuer goes ahead to save them on his own.
Hun Dun reveals his plan to sacrifice all the children they have kidnapped in order to gain magical powers. Liuer meets with his mentor, Fa Ming, to try to rescue them but nearly get captured. Wukong finds a doll of himself that Liuer had and realises how important of a figure he is. He and Pigsy go to help Liuer. Saving Liuer and the 49 children, Wukong defeats the monsters. However, a solar eclipse occurs, and Hun Dun turns into a giant monstrous beast. Liuer is seemingly crushed by the rubble from Hun Dun's rampage. Upon seeing the boy's apparent death, Sun Wukong is devastated. Full of fury, he forcibly breaks Buddha's Seal, regaining his original supernatural powers, and easily defeats Hun Dun.
The final part of this movie connects to the themes in the original canon. Sun Wukong only regains his powers when he fights for someone else rather than himself, as Sun Wukong's powers are meant to protect the monk Xuanzang/TangSeng/Tang Sanzang against evil and lead the monk to enlightenment. Sun Wukong as a character is also meant to represent an enlightened mind, which is why Sun Wukong's staff emerges from his head. Jiang Liuer himself is the younger Xuanzang, since he only received the name Xuanzang after he was ordained.
On October 17, 2019, a video game based on the film was released on PlayStation 4, developed by HexaDrive with assistance from Japan Studio and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment in Asia and THQ Nordic internationally; a Windows port published by Oasis Games was also released on the same day.[12][13] As Sun Wukong (renamed Dasheng in the English dub), players guide Liuer and Pigsy (Zhu Bajie) to fight off Mountain Trolls and other monsters to save the kidnapped children from the clutches of the demon king Hun Dun, use statues of Guanyin to unlock spells to enhance skills and use various weapons to battle enemies. Two DLCs were available: Mind Palace, which is set within Sun Wukong's mind sealed inside the Buddha's crystal, where he trains himself in a series of obstacles and traps between different biomes, and Uproar in Heaven, which is set before the main story where the monkey king duels against three of the Jade Emperor's greatest warriors, Nezha, Juling Shen and the Jade Emperor's nephew Erlang Shen.
Parents need to know that Monkey King: Hero Is Back is a 2015 Chinese computer-animated film in which Jackie Chan plays the titular hero who is inadvertently freed by a little boy 500 years after a displeased Buddha banished him to an ice cage beneath the mountains. The intricate storyline might be confusing to kids. There is plenty of cartoon and martial arts violence, including scenes where characters fall off cliffs. The monsters have a demonic appearance, which could scare younger or sensitive kids. There's also some potty humor -- among the ragtag group who joins the Monkey King to fight the monsters, the cat is shown urinating, the pig has flatulence, and a young boy's nose is constantly dripping mucous, and there's scene in which another character picks her nose. It's also worth mentioning that the release of this movie was rescued by crowdsourcing; when some of the producers wanted a change in the story, the filmmakers refused to budge and went to the internet, and 109 families helped fund the movie, listing their young children as the producers.

Five centuries ago, the Monkey King (Jackie Chan) was free to reign and do battle with other kings, but his impudence angered the gods, and he was banished to an ice cave beneath the mountains. Five hundred years later, monsters emerge and take over a nearby village, scattering the villagers, including a little boy who ends up beneath the mountains and inadvertently frees the Monkey King from his cage. While a reluctant hero who is annoyed by the little boy's nonstop questions, he joins forces with a ragtag bunch -- including a cat and a pig -- and they must work together and find a way to stop these monsters. This is also a chance for the Monkey King to redeem himself and prove his heroism to the gods who banished him.
MONKEY KING: HERO IS BACK will engage tweens and parents looking for something different. It's an exciting computer-animated adventure that has become a cult hit in China, where it was released in 2015. The action is nonstop, the animation has some beautiful moments, and there is enough silliness to balance out all the demonic monsters seemingly around every bend.
While there is a slight tendency to get into Pixar clichs -- wacky animals with streetwise voices and lower GI issues, for instance -- these moments don't distract from the overall adventure and action that continues unabated from beginning to end. Some of the story, cultural background, and context might be lost on younger American viewers, but on the whole, once the movie takes hold, it doesn't let go.
When the funding for this movie fell short, the filmmakers turned to "crowdsourcing" on the internet -- and 109 children, with obvious help from their families, provided the funds to help pay for the movie's completion. How might crowdsourcing change the way movies are made? How is this different from the way movies have traditionally been made and marketed?
From the opening sequence, you are sucked into a world of mysticism and wonder. A world where a monkey was born with powers that even made the gods jealous sounds like an astounding story to build upon. Monkey King: Hero is Back is based off an animation, and in my opinion, is where it should have stayed. Unfortunately, the story and gameplay are two completely different experiences. You play as Dasheng, a monkey born from a magic rock, infused with the essence of magic and sky. Born of stone, he was revered as the king of all animals, but like all, he desired more power. Even challenging the gods, the Monkey King was revered as all powerful and only Buddha could put the Monkey King back in his place. Encased in a crystal tomb, there he was trapped for 500 years.

This story will be the same as in the movie but with a twist, more Angst, a traumatic pregnant Monkey King, Lin and Stick comforting the traumatized monkey along with the monk and pilgrims. Then a mysterious six eared monkey appears and wants to give the love and desire Monkey King truly deserves

A tale of two Simian brothers who balance between the Sun, Moon, and who eclipse between. This Journey is going to be harsh, and it will test their will and testament to their bonds. Will blend into fandom sooner or later.
This will be a place of Monkey king/reader snippets, and short one shots. There are many movies and different shows and i can't help but love the different versions of him. This will contain sexual and nonsexual situations with his many variations. Any suggestions/request for additional snippets in the comments would be appreciated.
This was for a contest but pretty much 1999 Sun Wuong meeting 2015 Sun Wukong and they are at each other throats for about half of the plot. Imagine rivals turned into new best friends. I love these goofs with all my heart and this was more for the sake of comedy than anything too serious.
