American Born Chinese
May. 31st, 2023 05:32 pmDisney+'s American Born Chinese was a lot of fun. Jin, a Chinese American high schooler, has to guide Wei-Chen, the son of Sun Wukong, to stop an uprising against Heaven.
The beginning of the show is pretty bad, but it's on purpose, so don't worry about it. And it's definitely not as bad as the beginning of the graphic novel, as they changed the racist humour storyline for the better.
There are a lot of scenes in Chinese. If you're familiar with the legend of Sun Wukong (aka Son Goku in Japanese), you'll notice fun details like Jin having the Dragon Ball manga. Anuj also mentions my beloved Saiyuki, a much closer adaptation than DB.
