The New Legends of Monkey TV Series Plot
The world of The Legends of Monkey TV Series is marked by the clash of three beings: gods, demons and humans. Traditionally, gods have used their power to counter the forces of demons, maintaining the cosmic balance that allowed the world to function as it should.
Five hundred years before our story begins, the world was in balance. Gods ruled peacefully, harmoniously. Demons were in hiding, their powers held in check by the gods. Humans were free to live a life unencumbered by the scattergun forces of darkness. There was happiness across the land.
Monkey, a young god born from a stone on a mountaintop, lived in plain sight, enjoying Monkey-ish pursuits with his monkey brethren. Monkey’s very existence was special and he was earmarked for great things by the gods.
That’s how it used to be… But then everything changed. There was a battle between the gods and demons, one that was unwittingly set in motion by the young Monkey god. What did he do? Only Monkey can remember. As punishment the gods locked him in a statue, frozen in time. But it was too late. The forces of evil were now out in the world, plunged into a chaos that has been raging for five hundred years.
Today the ranks of demons have swelled to the point that they are the majority. They inhabit the world inciting disorder and anarchy, as their power grows unopposed.
The gods, their numbers dwindling as they are hunted like animals, have gone into hiding. Their powers have been greatly reduced, almost entirely lost. And the people, abandoned and confused, have lost their way. And an even greater darkness approaches.
A motley trio of fallen gods with magical superpowers and incredible martial arts skills are working together to put the world back into balance, trying to regain the godly powers they once had. They escort a young girl disguised as a monk on a perilous quest to bring an end to demonic rule and restore balance to the world.
