- Black Myth Wukong's Lore and Story:
Chapter 3's theme, what an individual does in their deluded state, reveals just how vile Yellowbrow is due to his delusions. Through his twisted view of Maitreya Buddha's teachings, Yellowbrow develops a perverted view of Buddhism, resulting in his false self-proclamation of himself as the Buddha of the New West.
This video takes a look at the horrid and appalling actions of Yellowbrow in both Black Myth Wukong through gameplay, cutscenes, and portrait descriptions, & the events of Journey to the West. Through this video, everything is laid out and explained for you to follow along - to see what makes Yellowbrow such an evil and disgusting Yaoguai king. The video is broken down into sections:
Introduction: False Buddha
Thievery & Trickery
Indoctrination & Conditioning
Imprisonment & Torture
Perversion By Inversion
Let me know what you think in the comment section below. I'll jump down there soon to keep up the discussion with you all there. Have a good one Black Myth Community.
... and Welcome to the New West...
The YG Kings all illustrated what the weak and oppressed will do when they are given some measure of great power. The Bear just used it to enrich himself, the Sage tried to strengthen himself to defy his lot, Yellowbrow started his own religion, the Centipede tried to be useful to the Heavens and the Bull just lived in fear because he has too much to lose.
The Bull Demon King was the only one wise enough to not use the Sense to empower himself. And he still suffered for it with bad health.
sigh..... some people are just too smart... Me ? i just giggled when the macaque Chief farted and this guy came with along with this excellent video. Now i feel bad for the chief. Tragic.
great comment - yeah Macaque Chief was pretty funny when he was introduced sitting atop the roof and tossing a peach on one of the frozen zombie worshippers.
this is such a well made video and the analysis and interpretation is so on point. This deserves more views! Chapter 3 id definitely one of my fav chapter and I think Yellowbrow is one of the richest and most complicated characters in the game
Right on. I appreciate your comment. Yes, he is quite complicated. To your point about chapter 3 being one of your favorites, I think it is presented in the most unique way. After the boss fight with Kang Jin Loong, when we fall through the ice, the chapter really gets going and it leaves us uncertain of what is really happening because of how off putting the Pagoda Realm is. It was my favorite chapter of the game.
Great video. You broke down a lot for me that I was too lazy to read in the portraits cause I was rushing to start another playthrough… or two
I need Wukong’s energy for my next Zoom meeting. Imagine the confidence!
Uhhhh I beat him on first try.. the one that had me on my toes was the second chapter boss. I didn’t know about the wind cancel vessel lmao. Same with the chapter 4 boss. Didn’t know about the secret boss to get the vessel to counter the thousand eye boss and I just kept retrying until I beat him. But yellowbrow was legit so easy for me at least that when I heard after he’s broken in the lore I was like “uhhhh”. Ch3 is still my favorite chapter
Yes, chapter 3 is my favorite as well. Can't believe you beat the 100 eyed daoist without the needle. When he goes gold mode and shoots all those beams at you, it is near impossible without the needle. You musta put in some real work to beat him without the needle.
Why take for granted that Buddha and Celestial Court are good? Or that those opposed to them are automatically bad? This view of good and bad limits your understanding of the story and our world. Perhaps they represents different world-views and interests: those above wanted a stable and structured hierachy, those below wanted a flat and even playing field. None of them is good or bad, they are just in conflict with one another. "Destined one" in Chinese is "Heaven's Mandate", he is supposed to be just a pawn in this great game of chess.
Agreed about your thoughts on good or bad - not sure if I mentioned one being good or bad in terms of Yellowbrow's views on Buddhism, just that his actions are pretty appalling a vile - IE: what he did to the third prince and his captains, how he indoctrinates people, etc. Great comment, have a good one.
Buddha and arahats(disciple buddhas) were those who achieved getting rid of Greed, Anger, and delusion. By definition, they are good. Boddhisattva and divine protectors are not necessarily good on the other hand. Original Boddhisattva are would-be buddha. There were two such Pusas, baby buddha Maitreya and certain Nepalese Shakya price who became gottama buddha. However, later Buddhism schools declared many powerful kings, queeen, feudal lords, hindu gods, chinese gods as Boddhisatvas, "wanna-be Buddhas" who vowed to achieve Buddhahood (wish!!!). These new bodhisattvas and dharma protectors are generally good, but there is no guarantee that they will always do good. God King aka Indra aka Jade Emperor aka Zeus was dharma protector (i.e. the one who protect the stability, protect weak and judge the wicked) but he was more than willing to crash anyone who attempted to dethrone him. He won't mind using shady methods either.
BTW, that was what wukong did in havoc in heaven episode, attempt to overthrow the god king. And the god king would use all shady methods available to crash him since wukong quit being a Buddhist monk. It is lore correct. Meanwhile , baby buddha shows no anger or any bad sentiments when pigsy hit his head despite his rank much much higher than Bajie, an altar boy.
As for farming yaoguais for golden pills, that is more or less the same as what meat industry is doing business in real world. If the yaoguai core can increase primodial Qi according to modern Xian Xia lore, there would be yaoguai farming gods naturally.
@@waiphyohain Let's just say that Journey to the West can be a bit... satirical at times.
