  1.  @heikohonikel4462  The first full-length version of Journey to the West was published in 1592. While it has a basis in older folk tales (much like how the likes of Robin Hood and King Arthur had their stories circulating in Britain long before anybody put them to paper), it's definitely not 4000 years old because Tripitaka was a real person. His real name was Chen Hui, though he's better known by his alias Xuanzang (the translation of "Tripitaka" into Chinese), and his journey to India was lasted from 629 to 645.

  3. This story had enormous influence on shonen anime, and I don't just mean how early Dragon Ball was directly based on it.

  6. I'm not sure whether I should be imagining Chris Pratt wearing a Mao suit, or Chairman Mao in cosplay.
