Let's be real - no other adaptation of 'Journey to the West' will ever beat the TVB version from the '90s
With that said, remember when we wrote about Netflix's ang moh reboot of the classic Chinese novel? They've finally released a trailer for the upcoming miniseries, and it actually doesn't look half bad...?
Michael Idato, TV critic for The Sydney Morning Herald, actually called it "thrillingly magical".
Officially titled 'The New Legends of Monkey', the 10-episode miniseries is gonna revolve around the the titular character (played by half-Thai actor Chai Hansen)
You might've seen him in the hit CW show 'The 100'. He will also be appearing in Season 3 of 'Shadowhunters'.
Okay, he doesn't look much like an anthropomorphic monkey, but he's easily recognisable by the circlet on his head and his golden weapon of choice
Pigsy and Sandy (that's Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing, folks) don't look like the ones we used to watch too, but they seem to have some pretty impressive powers:
We'd also like to point out that we spotted the bad-a** lady who plays the Grandmaster's bodyguard in 'Thor: Ragnarok' as an unknown character in the trailer
