Legendary is a look at  Chinese mythology, memory and queer legacy. It balances the mythology and trans identity, and the power of your authentic self. The show carries a message of ritual and the cycle of birth, life, death, and rebirth. It’s a show that brings the Chinese gods to Western audiences, for many for the first time, but a moment for those with Asian ties to see themselves reflected and shared.

We talk about how the show has evolved, especially following Cheeyang’s coming out as trans; Legendary turns expectations on their head as the narrator stays constant and the audience is the change; and how the Hero’s Journey is not the only journey that can be taken.
