finally read the updated garou fight. loved it. the changes were all pretty good and kept the spirit of the original, while also cranking everything to 12. one issue tho is i feel the logic of actually throwing zero punches is probably more akin to beating watch for rolling rocks in x0.5 a presses.

Yeah, I wouldn't say that the Monkey King is a bad person, he's just deeply, deeply chaotic and way too powerful to suit the strict hierarchy of heaven. Joke's on heaven, since it turns out that Monkey King is also Buddha.

Well the Monkey King also misbehaved when Heaven gave him a place there and he abused their trust and stole a bunch of stuff so he could be 60 fold immortal.

and the reason his eyes are always red is because he got hotboxed. his staff? He stole a pillar holding up the bottom of the ocean. He once challenged some monks to a head chopping contest and made them go first. He's an all round rear end in a top hat who's fun to read about, but no be around :v

I believe he is only outright defeated and injured in combat once after starting the Journey. When he fights Lady Scorpion Demon who overpowers him and Piggy. Piggy is forced to drag him off in retreat after Wukong gets knocked out by poison.

I read a story years ago that I think was an excerpt from a bigger book (maybe Journey to the West?) where Buddha asks the Monkey King to show off by jumping as far as he can and writing his name down to show where he landed. The Monkey King does it three times and is super impressed with each jump, then Buddha opens his hand and reveals the Monkey King's name written three times on the palm? I remember thinking that was loving cool as hell.

One of the boasts Lady Scorpion gave about her being a badass was that even Buddha feared her. And this is true, cause she once attended one of Buddha’s readings in Scorpion form and stung his hand causing him great pain, after which she escaped any retaliation.

If you do the math, the monkey king boasts about a super impressive jump distance... which is about equal to the circumference of the Earth, he jumped so far he ended up in the same place.

i didn't like the one shot that much, and also this will almost certainly send the webcomic back on indefinite hiatus.

There's about a gram of iron in a human body. Then again these guys are monsterized, so maybe they got more iron in them. Otherwise, that's a thousand dudes for 1 1 kg mass, which is like a rapier or 2 typical combat knives

If you're referring to the scene from the movie where he rips the guard's iron out of his blood, mystique specifically injected that dude with a little bit of extra metal for him to work with
