I understand that with the story of the Monkey King, ABC doesn’t exactly have a 100% realistic universe, but WTF? I feel like they tried to connect the three stories but just couldn’t find a way that worked, and worked well. They gave up, and we got stuck reading this.
- HOW did everyone think it was normal that a monkey in a costume parading as a human was normal? Was it just a really good costume that no one could tell the difference between that and an actual human? Does nobody actually know what a person of asian descent looks like?
- WHY is the Monkey King not count as a god? There was a flipping bird god (also, Darth Maul seems to be there too), why not a monkey? That just makes no sense. Also, there seemed to be a good mixture of shapes and sizes and species mixed in the gods but just MONKEYS are left out? Rude.
- Did “Danny” think he was adopted? Did his parents also transform into white people? Did no one find it suspicious? Did everyone just think that Jin and his family disappeared? Or did they believe that they got turned into white people simply because Jin liked a girl and was insecure?
I just can’t handle the rationale they tried to force on us, just because it pulls the stories together! I’m sorry, Gene Luen Yang, you can tell three very interesting stories separately, but you are not the Marvel Cinematic Universe...
