Thinking about the potential implications of Sha Wujing's crime

Does wujing get any good movies?

I’m going to be honest, I have only seen one specific Wujing movie, and all others have been out of my reach.

2020 Curtain-Lifting General 卷帘神将 - I was able to see this one and it was pretty cute actually, shows Wujing when he was just living on the Flowing Sands River and what he was up too. Weirdly enough Erlang Shen is in this and like the lover interest who I THOUGHT was Sansheng Mu for MOST of the movie if not that they say she was just a new immortal trying to get into heaven. But yeah that was super cute! Highly rec for any Wujing fan.

2018 The Creation of Immortals 2 封仙册之沙河神僧 - Not too sure what this is about but it looks like it's about Wujing getting into heaven which is pretty cool!

2017 Travel Notes of West Lies: Tang Monk Stepped on the Wrong World 西謊遊記之唐僧踩錯界 - Wujing accidentally finds his way into Hong Kong and trying to escape. Doesn't seem too high stakes but more like 'trapped in the modern time.'

2015 Sha Seng Diary 沙僧日记 - this one was HILARIOUS in that this was actually based on a web novel that was turned into a TV show! The thing is the person that wrote the web novel actually never read Xiyouji so... CEARLY the comedy or SOMETHING made this production worthy IDK. I have it on my list to watch.

1927 Zhu Bajie Has a Duel in Liusha River 猪八戒大闹流沙 - This is the oldest where Bajie and Wukong getting to Flowing Sands River to meet Wujing! Weirdly it has that Wujing has a crush on a local girl and he actually has Rizz pretending to be a young man and she is all for him until Wukong and Bajie catch him which leads to a fight.

But yeah in the grand scheme of things... that is NOT a lot. At least compared to Bajie and Sanzang on the scale of anyone that is not Wukong. I'm sad he doesn't get more attention but at least I hope we get more Wujing designs that lean to his fish side... ah well. We can enjoy Wujing in other media as well!

Finally done the character sheet for my modern AU take of Wujing! He’s literally the only sane person in the group (but for reasons shown in the fic everyone thinks he has a few screws loose). He has chopsticks in his hair from an impulse decision he made after watching Ariel stick a fork in her hair. He greatly regretted it the next morning but there’s no way he could eat with those chopsticks again so he just kept them as pins. 

I wanted him to almost be opposite of who he was in the canon, like after his millenia of punishment he’s bitter and very pissed off at himself and everything around him. But I want to show that sometimes when you think that all your effort and faith has been wasted and that you are being treated unjustly (by people or life) what you’ve made of yourself will remain and no one can take that away from you. I’m still working on different parts of his character but so far I’m pretty happy with his general characterization/design.

The latest adaptation of the Monkey King fable does not disappoint... A good watch for fans of the story.

1996 JTTW had the best characterization of Wujing actually

based off this

gotta finish up some school stuff but here’s a sketch of my JFTE Wujing redesign because I was a coward when I first designed him
