fun fact wukong in the original book is LITERALLY a feminist. He's pro abortion, pro women's choice, and one of the few people he legitimately respects as a higher-up is a woman, Guanyin. There are multiple cases in the book where he's shown advocating for women. Even in novel as

(1/2) watched Creation of the Gods II: Demon Force, though it got overwhelmingly negative reviews on Douban (Chinese equivalent of Letterboxd), personally I like it Renewed interest in adaptations of the ‘Investiture of the Gods’

(2/2) Deng Chanyu is amazing, one of my fav heroines i’ve seen in movies lately. (looking forward to the ‘zombie army’ sequence in the third episode of the trilogy btw.) kinda impressed with a line said by protagonist Ji Fa: ‘I fight for the living, you fight for the dead.’
