Was the Roc Overrated?

Spoiler: Yes—and it knew it.

While Lion and Elephant charged Buddha like glorified cannon fodder (RIP), the Roc? It did the smart thing: pivot to Sun Wukong. Not because it was brave—but because cosmic deities don’t play well with regrets.

Liu Bowen said it best: ‘The Peng’s flight was not valor—it was survival.’

So next time you watch an adaptation where the Roc ‘defies destiny,’ ask yourself: was it rebellion… or just really good at dodging HR reviews?
