>!~~In the game you don’t actually play as Wukong~~!<
But yes, Wukong is canonically one of the most powerful beings in existence and literally has 7 layers of immortality. He’s like the Kratos of his mythology, to make a very shallow analogy.

Except in the part that was cooked to remove part of his immortality and gave him red eyes…
and the part that is trapped by 500 years under a mountain (and its feed with iron pellets when he is hungry and melted copper when he is thirsty)…
and the part that the monk used the spell to activate the headband because he wasn’t behaving…
and the part that Kuanyin use the same spell to differentiate him of from the impostor…
and the part the scorpion demoness cause him a a massive headache…
and the part that the son of the Ox king kicked his ass…
etc

I grew up with the TV series and Wukong is a goofball lol

He’s not just immortal. He’s like SUPER immortal.
He’s immortal x6 and on top of that he has like 72 lives

He is an immortal living stone statue of a monkey in the source material.

They are making him out like he’s God of War when he’s more like Untitled Goose Game

I will always remember >!God of Highschool!< webtoon, I kinda like how they write Sun Wukong in this story. (jaecheondaeseong)
He reincarnate as a human, learn to live normally, having friends. And the biggest thing he learn is how to fight with them.
Then get his past incarnation memories and swear to make things right.
Also, he has a ton of artifacts and techniques, he is extremely OP.
The fact that originally he isn’t a god or a mortal, but seen as a monster is interesting too.

My favorite tale from Journey to the West took place very shortly after Monkey made a mockery of the Jade Emperor and ran amuck in his court. None of the spirits or gods sent after Monkey to punish him were able to succeed, so it came to pass that the Buddha himself was asked to confront Monkey.
The Buddha approached Monkey in peace and gave him a simple challenge: If Monkey could leap out of the palm of his hand, he would be forgiven for his mischief. So, the cocky monkey king placed both feet in the Buddha’s outstretched palm, crouched, and leapt backward as powerfully as he could.
Monkey flew right off the planet and sailed through the cosmos. So mighty was his leap that he soon arrived at the edge of the universe, right near one of the pillars of creation. Naturally, Monkey dropped trow and urinated on the pillar of creation, as one does. Then, Monkey leapt back to the Buddha.
Monkey mocked and taunted the Buddha, but the divinity only smiled and said, “Smell my finger.” So Monkey smelled the Buddha’s finger. It smelled like piss. The Buddha held the entire universe in his hand, of course.
Then the Buddha picked up a mountain and dropped it right on Monkey.

Journey to the west is so funny to me, because wukong is just an unstoppable force. Bro shadow clone jutsus whenever he wants, creates a tree trunk sized toothpick to beat enemies, and is immortal. The entire book is the rest of the party getting in serious trouble and it is resolved when sun wukong realizes and solves it.
