In many ways, the Monkey King is the archetype of the folk hero, or in modern terms, the superhero. There is no single Western equivalent of the Monkey King – perhaps a combination of Robin Hood, Hell Boy and Shakespeare's Puck.
Sun Wukong, also known as The Great Sage Equal to Heaven or the Monkey King, is an iconic hero of Chinese folklore and the main protagonist of the 16th-century Chinese classic novel Journey to the West by the late Wu Cheng'en, and its multiple adaptations.
After passing a test of character by the original Monkey King, the new one gained some of his powers: Superhuman Strength. Superhuman Durability. Superhuman Stamina.
But honestly, Sun Wukong wins this hands-down. He wrecked the heavens single-handedly, swatted away demons like flies. Traveled the entire universe in less time for you to blink an eye. The only real time he was defeated was by a Buddha himself.
Wiz: As befitting heroes of myth, they were on par in that they were both incomprehensibly strong. However, Wukong's healing abilities meant he could bounce back from Heracles' deadliest blows, whereas Heracles did not have a similar option.

Okay yes, the Monkey King is historically a chaotic character, but in this film they take that concept way too far. Monkey is definitely the anti-role-model of the year. The movie doesn't really have an overall theme to speak of, doesn't really make a point, doesn't teach any value lessons to kids.
Summary. Netflix's "The Monkey King" falls short due to a poor script that lacks a dramatic center and fails to hook the audience. The film initially presents a clear motivation for the Monkey King's character, but fails to explore this emotional thread further.
After a long siege in which the Monkey King employed all his magic skills to avoid defeat, he was finally captured and brought before the Jade Emperor, who condemned him to death as a criminal in revolt agains the Heavenly Throne.
