While I am on the topic of Netflix's Monkey King, I have two thoughts about the character of The Dragon King.

WARNING SPOILERS AHEAD! SPOILERS AHEAD!

Thought 1: I was a bit dubious of making the Dragon King the main antagonist of the story, since in the original novel, Ao Guang isn't actually an antagonist, but rather a reluctant ally to Sun Wukong. This Dragon King does work as this strange mix of a watery Hades (Disney) and a male Ursula, but I was wondering about the choices behind it (don't get me wrong, I love water and sea-themed villains, I am just curious as of the adapting process). But having watched the movie now, I realize that this is actually another homage to Chinese culture - just not to the Journey to the West per se.

Netflix's Dragon King is ACTUALLY based on the character of the Dragon King from the animated movie "Nezha Conquers the Dragon King". You know, the late 70s Chinese animated movie? This movie was one of the big reasons people believe that, in "The Investiture of the Gods" novel, Ao Guang was a vicious being of chaos - when in fact he was not. It was in this movie that the Dragon King was depicted as a destructive antagonist all about causing storms and water-based disasters, and it also from there that the whole "The Dragon King eats children" comes from (the same "eat children" joke that the Netflix movie uses). Plus, the color palette or the new Dragon King and Nezha's Dragon King are also very similar, so the homage is pretty clear.

Thought 2: I am dumb sometimes - it took me a long time to understand why the Dragon King's final kaiju-like form looked like a bloated Godzilla. At first I thought they were just making a fat Godzilla joke or recreating the "giant Ursula" feel from the Little Mermaid final. Then I noticed that each time he was hit by the Monkey King, water flew out of his body, but I thought it was just some cool special effect. It was only when his body started twisting itself that I finally understood the joke: that the Dragon King had turned itself into a giant water balloon.

Which actually fills one of the eventual plot-holes there could have been. Indeed, it is shown that in this universe only the Immortals can become giants (Monkey King only gains the ability to grow in size when becoming fully Immortal), and yet the Dragon King is clearly not one of the Immortals given the way he talks about them. So how could he grow giant? Well here's the answer: he "cheated", he rather gorged himself with sea water like a giant sponge. It is basically the fable of "The Frog that wanted to grow as big as a Bull". Plus, of course, there is the obvious metaphor and image of the Dragon King growing as big and bloated as his own ego. Which in turns serves as a "mirror" for the Monkey King, because while he grows even bigger than the Dragon King, it is also the moment where Monkey snaps and becomes a madman (well, a mad monkey), his ego having grown even bigger than the one of the Dragon King.

Lego Monkie King Set Easter Egg

Lego Monkie Kid fans, the Dragon of the East Palace Lego set includes a subtle detail from chapter 14 of Journey to the West. It's a painting of Zhang Liang repeatedly retrieving and placing a shoe on the immortal Huang Shigong's foot. The Dragon King uses this tale to instill perseverance in Monkey.

My thanks to Irwen Wong of the Journey to the West Library blog for pointing out the painting on the Lego set.

Huang Shigong also appears in a Southeast Asian religious trinity associated with Sun Wukong.

More Ao Guang Sillies

Finally got to color these old sketches! First two are inspired by scenes from the movie, and then... I had to draw him getting his snoot booped, that was very much a necessity

Heyyy May I please request some hcs of Ao Guang & Dbk + Pif x Afab reader that finds all men disgusting now because of trauma they went though when they were younger?

Readers disgust is more of a, ‘don’t you dare touch me or come near me.’

I imagine age Reader had an arranged marriage with Ao Guang since no Emperor can be without an Empress, even in old age. (Btw- Can reader and Ao Guang be the same age?)

Originally I was going to do both but the more I thought about it the more I couldn't see PIF get into a relationship with someone who would hate on her husband so I'm only do Ao Guang.

Ao Guang

His eye twitches whenever you pull away from him.

He rubs the spot between his eyes as he sighs.

He just wants to do what normal couples do together, how is that so hard?

Regardless, he decides to just let you have your own section of the dragon palace which includes your own room.

He'll send you gifts ranging from food, flowers, clothing, jewellery, make-up. Anything to everyhting.

You refuse to read his letters that come with the notes until one night you are in a PTSD spiral and decide to read the letters to justify you anger towards him.

Only to see his letters are telling you to ask anything from him, then he hopes you are healthy and well, and that he'll always be here for you even if you don't love him.

He's a very caring person when it comes to bein his wife, though he'll never show that to anyone else.

You look back at after he made the palace gendered just for your, that being your half of the palace could only be woman.

He also stop reaching for your hand at social events, stopped walks as closely beside you.

He may not know why you don't like men but he does bend to your will.

If you do ever decide to show him affection, be in the same room as him, or merely just not glare at him anymore, he will let you control the situation.

He isn't going to push.

If the marriage happened recently and you are the same age as him, he isn't going to expect anything sexually from you because he doesn't have a need for children anymore.

But if it happened after his son's death and/or you are younger than him, he will be wanting to have children and does express that to you, though doesn't force it.

Talking about his son's death, you two were married before said son's death, you won't see Ao Gaung after the death.

You takes you entering into his son's bedroom and seeing Ao Gaung on the floor, hugging and crying tightly into one of his son's blankets to see him.

After you see it though, his advisors will beg you to comfort him, spend time with him, maybe even sleeping in the same room together.

It makes it less lonely, the grief that is. Makes it less suffocating for him.

He can tell you don't want to be there at times and doesn't push you, but when he's a crying mess, he will cling to you as you hug him and sooth him.

It may not be a perfect marriage, but he'll respect you enough to make you comfortable as much as he can.

Li Jing: Ao Bing always brings his dad gifts; It would be nice if you did the same.

Nezha: Okay.

Nezha: *Gives Ao Guang a present*

Ao Guang: What? Why?

Nezha: I don’t know, I’m just as confused as you are.

I was just scowling though Chinese Mythology on the Wiki as you do and I only just now figured out who Nezha was fighting. At first I thought it was Ao Guang but then I remembered the movie Nezha Reborn(10/10 movie I do recommend) and that isn’t Ao Guang its his third son Ao bing. So there “mystery” solved.

Oh yeah and for those who don’t know Nezha’s like 12 then and he killes Ao Bing soo yeah demon child. Love him tho
