Sorry to correct you, but Really Monkey King is based off of an old Chinese Legend about the real Monkey king who is really old for he was born from a rock egg and the whole story with the turtle balls were based on the real legend about how Monkey king made his way to the sacred land of the Buddha to receive the sacred tablets of prayers. He done this journey with a Monk, an Archer, a man who's cursed to look like a pig because of his gluttony, a river dragon who ate the monk's horse but took the form of that horse to travel with them and a ugly monstrous man who worn skulls around his neck named Friar Sand who lived in the quicksand swamp that they run into in their journey. The whole 'mountain dropped on monkey king' was suppose to mark the beginning of that whole journey legend when Monkey king behaved horribly and wrecked havoc on Chinese Heaven and was imprisoned inside a mountain by Buddha until the time has come and Monkey king learned his lesson.

Also the term Armada came from the Spain's Mighty Armada during the 1500's.
