The novel, or the 1986 Chinese TV series, is always the BEST. If you find them difficult to enjoy at first, there are different approaches you might take.
The most accessible entrance point is the 2015 3D animation Monkey King: Hero is Back.However, the plot deviated from the source material.

Another accesible entry point is 1964 animation Uproar In Heaven. It is regarded as the best animated film in Chinese history and was a favorite of Miyazaki Hayao. This covers about 10% of the original novel. Its a "hero origin" story.

Dope!
Anyone got the name of the artist?
Love the infusion of East Asian mytholology and aesthetic!

Not the version I'd recommend for a serious reading of the legend, but I'm posting the Japanese 70's live action version it to brighten everyone's day with an intro song that 100% slaps (after the 1-minute narration of our hero's origin story).
"Born from an egg on a mountain top,
The punkiest monkey that ever popped"

Here's one that works with embedding...

I've also been meaning to read it forever and ultimately decided to get a copy of The Monkey and the Monk. Anthony Yu's translation of the original is still considered the gold standard in English, but it's four volumes and like ~2000 pages, because that original story is LONG. Eventually Yu was convinced to put together an abridged version, which cuts it to ~25% of the original but maintains the spirit as best is possible, and that's what that is.
To me, that seems like the best balance between accurate and readable. In particularly it keeps a lot of the poetry, which seems pretty central to the vibe of the original.
I kinda raised a eyebrow when I saw it too. That said, I don't think it's meant as a slight, but I can understand being a little wary considering shit like the Chinese Star Wars TFA poster.

The biggest takeaway here is that North America needs to seriously step up its poster game.
These are ELITE
The artist is Huang Hai who has been caught plagiarizing before unfortunately. I would say there is no doubt that James Jean's "Everything Everywhere All At Once" poster was a heavy "inspiration" on this.. but there's no doubting that the end result is gorgeous.
Huang Hai previously was caught plagiarizing Nico Delort when they did the poster for Evangelion 3.0+1.0: https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/in...s-for-chinese-movie-poster-plagiarism/.193854 (corrected link)
It doesn't look like they actually lifted any content directly like they did with Nico's piece but that cloud will hang over any work they do going forward. Here is the James Jean piece this is almost certainly influenced by:

Other than lots of stylized characters circling around the center I don't really see much in common between this and the poster in the OP. I might be missing something and I certainly don't think plagiarists deserve the benefit of the doubt, but in this case I just don't see anything that seems all that close between the two images.The artist is Huang Hai who has been caught plagiarizing before unfortunately.

Like I said, I just think it's clear Huang took the inspiration from it. The James Jean piece is very unique as movie posters go and is quite recent, so the timing feels suspect. There's no way Huang wouldn't have been familiar with it given Jean's level of importance in the field as well. The Huang piece is a very sharp design and in general I love his work. Just a cloud that will always hang over him.
The Venom poster has Yoshitaka Amano's vibe.
Seriously others much better than the usual red blue orange posters.

Monkey king goes to heaven, insult and is chased and attack by heaven's army, Miles go to the spider-verse, insult the leader and is chased by the spiderman of spiderverse?

I also take issue with the bizarre assertion that being inspired by something is in any way nefarious (though even that claim is extremely dubious in this case).

There's no Spot in this nor Gautam Buddh.
This is reenacting the scene from the trailer where Miguel orders the Spider-People at Spider-Society HQ to detain Miles and then an epic fight ensues. But this poster reimagines the scene as Sun Wukong's Havoc in Heaven.
Source for the artist?
I dont see any artist in China news
And the situation is 孫悟空大鬧天宮
