They have transformed the Chinese Monkey King into a trickster, “an elf with abnormal birth, deform-able, liar and trickery. which contains both trickster spirits in myth and indicates the mental state of American minorities.]]> 2022-02-08 18:40:36 UTC https://padlet.com/mattbailey1/Bookmarks/wish/2036237654 johnh294 https://padlet.com/mattbailey1/Bookmarks/wish/2036250555 In the United States, some people want power as much as the Monkey King does, and some are as stubborn as he is. I'm sure that in other cultures there are people like this, but I think that there are probably less. Some qualitys that they share are their stubborness, and leadership ability. Also, they work really hard to obtain what they desire. Here in america, I think that some of the things we like to see in people is the determination and leadership. ]]> 2022-02-08 18:46:12 UTC https://padlet.com/mattbailey1/Bookmarks/wish/2036250555 elizabethr951 https://padlet.com/mattbailey1/Bookmarks/wish/2036259644 I think that Superman is similar to the Monkey King because they are both admired and almost idolized by a lot of people in their different cultures.

While he isn't mad for power, his longing for acceptance can be comparable. All he wants to be is helpful as well.  ]]> 2022-02-08 18:52:48 UTC https://padlet.com/mattbailey1/Bookmarks/wish/2036266602 olivia_c645 https://padlet.com/mattbailey1/Bookmarks/wish/2036276327 I think Marty McFly and the Monkey King relate because they both lived in a world where they fit in with society until they both decided to travel to a new place like "Heaven," and "The future" where they both did not fit in with society.]]> 2022-02-08 18:56:52 UTC https://padlet.com/mattbailey1/Bookmarks/wish/2036276327 tyc740 https://padlet.com/mattbailey1/Bookmarks/wish/2036281215 trickery as seen as a characteristic in the monkey king is also seen through many different characters from many different cultures. one character in american culture with trickery as one of their characteristics is bugs bunny. he is very smart and tricky with everyone he meets ]]> 2022-02-08 18:58:53 UTC https://padlet.com/mattbailey1/Bookmarks/wish/2036281215 bensonr569 https://padlet.com/mattbailey1/Bookmarks/wish/2036283550 He is also like iron man idolized bye his freinds and family but ither people kinda think he’s a rich snob and he’s different ]]> 2022-02-08 19:00:00 UTC https://padlet.com/mattbailey1/Bookmarks/wish/2036283550 brooklynb923 https://padlet.com/mattbailey1/Bookmarks/wish/2036285309 I was thinking about it, and I personally think that Hal is good fit for comparing to The Monkey King. At the beginning Hal was okay with who he was, he was a bit awkward but was there to help Roxanne. Just like The Monkey King is there to help his subjects. But once Hal had gotten a taste of power, he changed who he was. He changed his name to Titan, and got all confident that he could do anything and everything, hurting people who thought differently than him. I found that to be very similar to The Monkey King changing who he was after the dinner party, going around to the people who didn't see him as a god/deity and attacking them til they agreed with him.]]> 2022-02-08 19:00:52 UTC https://padlet.com/mattbailey1/Bookmarks/wish/2036285309 drakef932 https://padlet.com/mattbailey1/Bookmarks/wish/2036286198 i think the movie kung fu panda is heavly related to monkey king. po is looked at diffrently by others . people look at him as a outsider or very very diffrent from the other normal beings there. so po is motivated to prove them wrong my becoming the dragon warrior. in other meanings thriving for more power , respect and maybe wanting to show leadership.]]> 2022-02-08 19:01:19 UTC https://padlet.com/mattbailey1/Bookmarks/wish/2036286198 avreya546 https://padlet.com/mattbailey1/Bookmarks/wish/2036287912 I think everyone fits into the monkey king because everyone has those times where they are a super nice person super chill but they just are not excepted by others. They don't see that person's potential and don't try to see it so they just push that person out as the guard did to the monkey at the party. The guard just kicked him out because he didn't have shoes he didn't care what powers he had. ]]> 2022-02-08 19:02:06 UTC https://padlet.com/mattbailey1/Bookmarks/wish/2036287912 braulioz899 https://padlet.com/mattbailey1/Bookmarks/wish/2036292037 he is kind of like Micheal vey from the book because they both got treated different because the way they looked like and how they acted they both got rejected by society besides for their friends and then later they became the hero helping others and the world]]> 2022-02-08 19:04:03 UTC https://padlet.com/mattbailey1/Bookmarks/wish/2036292037 ariana_f552 https://padlet.com/mattbailey1/Bookmarks/wish/2036295421 I think the monkey king could relate to a lot of different superheros. Normally super heros have some sort of a fan base that idolize them. The monkey king has the same thing with other monkeys. Most superheros gain powers and then want to be better, and this is also what the monkey king has done. ]]> 2022-02-08 19:05:39 UTC https://padlet.com/mattbailey1/Bookmarks/wish/2036295421 isabella_n005 https://padlet.com/mattbailey1/Bookmarks/wish/2036296167 megamind is similar to the monkey king because both of them weren't recognized for what they were.
So both of them wanted power and did tricks to be able to gain attention and recondition. Even if it makes them jerks at first and both of them also was punished for it too. Megamind goes into jail multiple times, and the monkey king is trapped under a mountain for 500 years. Neither one of them also didn't fit into society

Like the monkey king the boy loved to experience and be outside to go on adventures but just because he is sightly different than the majority everyone hated him for who he was and he didn't realize why everyone hated him until he grew up. Jut like the monkey king they were both denied of who they were and what they could've become.... Can you guess what is the movie is??]]> 2022-02-08 19:07:05 UTC https://padlet.com/mattbailey1/Bookmarks/wish/2036298458 bizzieo868 https://padlet.com/mattbailey1/Bookmarks/wish/2036302432 I think that Simba fits The Monkey Kings role quite well because they both try their best to be who they are but are both met with disappointments. Simba is met with his age and conflict-ion with his dad and why everyone just can't live within the horizon in peace while the monkey king struggles with himself. Simba being scared and faced with all the bad craziest odds runs away ignoring hes the next ruler of his kingdom. The monkey king tries to run away from what he truly is and is made fun of for being a monkey.]]> 2022-02-08 19:08:47 UTC https://padlet.com/mattbailey1/Bookmarks/wish/2036302432 camerong335 https://padlet.com/mattbailey1/Bookmarks/wish/2036302636 I think a good comparison would be Bruce Wayne/Batman. Bruce Wayne is idolized by a lot of people but he has a darker and sad side in him a well. ]]> 2022-02-08 19:08:53 UTC https://padlet.com/mattbailey1/Bookmarks/wish/2036302636 hayleyh829 https://padlet.com/mattbailey1/Bookmarks/wish/2036306575 I would compare the Monkey King to Titan(Hal Stewart) from the movie Megamind. In the beginning, Hal is, in a way, rejected by Roxan because he is just the camera man. The Monkey King is rejected from the heavenly dinner because he is a monkey. After both being rejected they gained power. But, as they gained power they also became selfish and cocky. They became destructive and, for that, they were brought back down to there lowly state. The difference between the two is that Titan used his powers with the urge to get the girl, meanwhile the Monkey King uses it to hurt all those who doubted him. Soon enough, though, they are both defeated in a small battle type situation and their powers are revoked. ]]> 2022-02-08 19:10:45 UTC https://padlet.com/mattbailey1/Bookmarks/wish/2036306575 hotaiav379 https://padlet.com/mattbailey1/Bookmarks/wish/2036321324 I think the monkey king and Wreck it Ralph are similar because as they each play their own role such as monkey king being a king, and Wreck it Ralph being a "bad guy". As soon as monkey king leaves his home he realizes that there are other "kings / Gods" who don't appreciate him and think that he doesn't fit and is different because he is a monkey. Then there's Ralph who leaves his game and is told that he cant win a medal because he is different and is only a bad guy. - Hotaia v]]> 2022-02-08 19:17:06 UTC https://padlet.com/mattbailey1/Bookmarks/wish/2036321324 ashlyn_y691 https://padlet.com/mattbailey1/Bookmarks/wish/2036334277 i feel like Scott Pilgrim is a lot like the monkey king, they both go through many trials just to stand up to what they believe in, they also don't stop until they are given the chance to relize that they have to believe in them-self in a way. they both get a taste of power and use it until they find out it made certain matters worse either monkey king to sit under a rock for years or scott finding out the girl he loves left him. they also both got mad fighting skills. 
Scott Pilgrim isn't very well known to america but i think that the people that do know his story know that its about learning and taking the time to understand himself, and the monkey king's story is very highly respected because it is a story of determination and relization. ]]> 2022-02-08 19:23:26 UTC https://padlet.com/mattbailey1/Bookmarks/wish/2036334277 paulito_a109 https://padlet.com/mattbailey1/Bookmarks/wish/2036381688 He is also like spiderman he gets his idols from his friends and family of course everyone thinks he is perfect and is from a perfect family but thats not the case he is way different from the others and thats why he powers through his weaknesess]]> 2022-02-08 19:46:05 UTC https://padlet.com/mattbailey1/Bookmarks/wish/2036381688 sarim325 https://padlet.com/mattbailey1/Bookmarks/wish/2036398780 The monkey king is like Tarzan. Like how the monkey was trying to do his best to become like them but they would not let him in. Tarzan tried to do his best to become like a gorilla but his dad did not accept him at first. They both wanted to be a part of something but were rejected by someone because of a reason. The monkey king because he was a monkey and Tarzan because he was a human.]]> 2022-02-08 19:54:25 UTC https://padlet.com/mattbailey1/Bookmarks/wish/2036398780 yasirg991 https://padlet.com/mattbailey1/Bookmarks/wish/2041020232 The monkey king is like Donald trump. Donald trump got banned off everything on the internet. The monkey king got banned from heaven. Donald trumpet got laughed at by everyone. The monkey king was laughed at by everyone. The monkey king wanted to show everyone he is not a laughing matter. Donald frump wanted to show he is not a laughing matter by being friends with Kim jung un. ]]> 2022-02-10 19:20:09 UTC https://padlet.com/mattbailey1/Bookmarks/wish/2041020232 https://padlet.com/mattbailey1/Bookmarks/wish/2089227327 I feel like Megamind is similar to the Monkey King. They both think that what they are doing is for the best. They both want to prove themselves to everyone. They wanted power, they wanted people to fear them. They both changed themselves for others. I think the characteristics of each of these characters shows the same qualities. The Monkey King is trying to do good while it takes a while for Megamind to step up into the "hero" role. In the end they both think that what they are doing is right and it doesn't help them to say the least. ]]> 2022-03-10 22:03:13 UTC https://padlet.com/mattbailey1/Bookmarks/wish/2089227327 avreya546 https://padlet.com/mattbailey1/Bookmarks/wish/2098635189 I think everyone can relate to the monkey king. Because every one goes through wanting to change something about their self's. A lot of people try to change and make people know they have changed. So I feel like kinda everyone can really relate to the monkey king more so when their in middle through high school years. Everyone has felt like they need a change in life. So you can fit many people into hows most like him maybe you can fit others better then you can some. ]]> 2022-03-16 18:38:50 UTC https://padlet.com/mattbailey1/Bookmarks/wish/2098635189
