Just was reminded of this: the Gorillaz frontman helped work on a Chinese Journey to the West Opera that just sounds really cool, in case you haven’t seen, eg

Thanks, I really enjoyed it! Do you think there will be English subtitles, or even a dubbed version, soonish?

I would make subtitles for it myself except the comments are turned off, so I can't offer to do it for the original uploader. I'm not sure if I can upload my own version without getting it taken down immediately for copyright claims. But it's a movie from 2021. So if someone else hasn't subbed it, I doubt it'll happen any time soon.

But I highly, highly, HIGHLY doubt there'll ever be a...dubbed version of a Chinese Opera? How does that even work? I can't imagine someone singing like this in English.

Lol yeah, didn't think about it being an opera meaning that it's all singing. Thanks, at least in the 5 minutes fighting scene I felt like I could understand who is who from your review

Damn, the fight scene you recommended was so beautiful it brought tears to my eyes

Ooooooh it's in Canto! Out of curiosity, if you don't understand Canto but do read Chinese, does having to read subtitles dampen viewing satisfaction?
