If he were remaining true to the legend, he wouldn't worry about Chinese "censorship".

Yeah, I think that's part of what's bothering me. I mean, when there's already something like a gajillion adaptations of Monkey already, what could you possibly do to the story that might raise ire enough to censor? That makes me... wonder, shall we say.

Frankly, I can't really think of any US legends with quite the same oomph as Monkey. We probably need another thousand years before we'd have something that deeply entrenched.

(Btw, the Brendan Fraser version is funny mostly because it's so strongly satirical/genre-savvy. It's like it's fully aware it's ridiculous, and it takes full advantage of that, and of assuming the audience already knows the genre/story.)
