Looks like a Everything Everywhere All At Once reunion unofficial sequel.

America not ready for this.

In this sensitive cancel culture…. Someone gonna take it as a slight at black people.

I know a few on here that love to be fake militants about everything and preach some shyt they don’t even believe

Monkey King

Hopefully they will educate themselves and realize they treat the Monkey King like we treat Jesus in popular fiction.

Like how Snyder kept drawing on Jesus imagery for Superman?

They do that over there. Goku is based on the character monkey king.

Yup!

Also that Jack Chan + Jet Li movie too.

Which as far as that collabo was concerned, was maaaaaaaaad too late

Was it good?

Was it good?

Just finished this up today, thought it was pretty solid. Better than Willow, the last non-Marvel/Star Wars series on Disney+ I watched.

Show is part Wuxia adventure, with some creative action for TV and part grounded coming-of age tale with Jin just wanting to fit in, play soccer, and date the cute girl. Scenes have a low-key vibe at times. Thought Jin's parents were good. Definitely geared for a younger audience. While the 3 EEAAO actors are good in their roles, wouldn't say you need to watch if you were only checking for them.
