Am I the only one who knows that Shang isn't a prince but a Chinese Warrior?? Or did I miss something that said he was from royalty??

[@jhuliacaballero6977]

Actually, he became a Disney prince since he is married to Mulan (who is a disney princess)

[@bloopbop181]

Jhulia Caballero she became princesses for like 5 minutes

[@jhuliacaballero6977]

She is not a princess in the story, but to became a Disney princess one must follow one of the rules: have royal blood or marry someone with royal blood OR make a strong action of heroism. Since Mulan saved China, proving her heroism, she became a princess in Disney World, get it?

[@bennu547]

Shang is handsome. That’s enough to be a prince, right? No? Ok then 😹

[@fantasticnerd7978]

No I agree with you, But I mean Disney I believe has him labeled as a prince, but him and Mulan both aren't royals, unless I missed something

[@xenaioaks5363]

Shang isn't a Prince...his the son of a General. His original idea was literally to be the son of a farmer which is where we get his weird awkward personality from...

[@jackierocha5096]

I personally like to think that Shang was bisexual rather than gay, he still pursues Mulan so really the fact that she’s a girl didn’t bother him(in a romantic way), plus I like the idea of more bisexual representation in media, they need some love too

[@mysterymystique1738]

Or Shang from the Mulan movie might have been pansexual, because, it's sort of like bisexual, but, more attracted to people based on their personality than their looks and gender.

[@storymaster21]

"romantic feelings"? uuh no. shang was the superior officer and was not developing a budding romance with mulan or anyone else. he was developing pride and trust in his men. also for a superior officer to have feelings for those under him would be considered disgraceful, dishonorable and shameful to a commanding officer in the chinese military ion that time. they would not allow it or show it. also shang very clearly was nervous around mulan and MARRIED HER IN THE SECOND FILM.

[@IMakePeopleSaltyApparently]

Sadly, people are too obsessed with romance to know the difference.

[@nixodian108]

About the second theory: haven't you ever heard of bromance? Because he cared a lot doesn't mean he was thinking of a romantic relationship. Also the last part about being disappointed and angry doesn't stand. If you found out a close pal of yours was lying to you about something this important wouldn't you also be mad?

[@sanjoykumardas4018]

I think it was really close friendship but not bromance, that would make their relationship later on awkward.

[@Cinnamonhopeful]

Shang is bisexual while Mulan is straight.. Everyone mixes it up or makes Mulan gay when during the song "a girl worth fighting for" she is clearly bothered by it. She also marries Shang in the second movie. edit: She won the battle as a female not cross dressed to gain trust to show power among women and how they can also fight for what is right.

Mulan is the great Stone dragon incarnated

[@youauthorus6949]

This is a grea video, great work. The prince is not gay, not necessarily. Also, while the dragon and cricket are important, Mulan is still a hero because she must perform the heroic actions.

[@brendonian4097]

Shang and Mulan's relationship (While Mulan was disguised as Ping) was more of a bromance/close friendship. Their closeness was in no way romantic, nor did it feel that way until after Shang found out Mulan was a woman. It's more like Shang was so hurt that Mulan was a woman because of broken trust, not because of misplaced feelings.

[@plamentsvetanov]

Some of these theory might have been true and plausible if Mulan was a Disney film and only that. But let's not forget that the story is a real Chinese legend. Also, let's not forget that the second film was an obvious cash grab, which had nothing to do with the original legend and downright ignored some previously established character traits.

[@kalaramcalmon]

And another thing shang really never fell in love with “peng” He just grew respect for peng….. I also don’t think he was disappointing when he found out mulan Was a woman keep in mind he did leave her in the snow when the penalty was to kill her

[@Th3sp3cim3n]

Mulan was a real warrior and had real feats. These pride theories are a reach. No disrespect to those but we can’t just assume everyone is like that

(Spoilers from 2nd movie). If you watch the second movie, it talks about the two getting married in the beginning, then Shang Perusing Mulan from getting married to a prince so a war wouldn’t break out, and then in the end Shang and Mulan get married!!! I think that Since Shang grew up with a very honorable father,he spent (and still does) his life living in his fathers shadow and attempting to live up to his reputation. This would mean that he never really made friends and trusted easily. He’s never had a “real” friend.So....When Ping came along, the two began to get close, and Shang felt like he developed a REAL friendship. But....when Shang found out she was a woman....he was heartbroken. He felt like he was lied to,betrayed. Not from romantic feelings....but from his best friend. He loves Mulan for herself,and he respects her. That’s why he married her! He LOVES her! I full on support LGBT, but I honestly don’t think that’s the case in THIS particular movie series!

[@bannawithamic2018]

EXACTLY

[@jackiecoreas5031]

How about the theory that the reason why the great stone dragon didn’t awaken is because it was already awake inside of Mulan. The great stone dragon is their to protect the family and Mulan wanted to protect her injured father so the seen where she cuts her hair while sitting under the stone dragon is her awakening the stone dragon inside of her

[@tayaraki4568]

I thought Shang was the captain, not the prince...

[@americansyndicalist7602]

He’s not gay! In the second film they got married. I know everyone loves to make everything gay but it ain’t true.

[@Holo.Seabunny]

I saw something roaming around Tumblr that suggested the spirit of the dragon actually transferred to Mulan, and that's why the Great Stone Dragon didn't awaken; she became the guardian and sigil of her house. Hence why dragon images follow her when she's preparing to leave.

[@abigailr3354]

Why do we have to put a sexuality on children movie characters? That’s insane.

Wtf "Emperor's forces"? She bested the Huns who had survived the avalanche and taken the emperor hostage. And she didn't force anybody to bow before her. It was a sign of the Emperor's humility and gratitude for what Mulan did. Get your facts straight. Philistine ;)

[@maximaldinotrap]

It wasn't even the Huns. It was the Xiongnu. The leader of the Xiongnu was given the title of Chanyu. Chanyu Shanyu Shan Yu The emperor in this movie is based on Qin (pronounced as Chin as in China) Shi Huang The Xiongnu were more akin to a Proto-Mongol Horde type of thing hence a joke in the movie about Mongolian barbecue.

[@zeruma.1264]

There’s a theory that I read (tumblr I think, can’t recall the source unfortunately) that says the spirit of the Great Stone dragon lives in Mulan. As the great stone dragon was known as the protector, Mulan did exactly that. She protected not only her family but the rest of the country. And the reason why the great stone couldn’t “wake up” was because it was already awoken due to the great stone dragon being Mulan all along. I can’t recall the exact words stated in this theory, but I’ll try to find the original post!

[@unicorn1655]

Li Shang and Mulan are a heroic bisexual disaster couple. Change my mind.

[@bennu547]

There’s no evidence supporting that they’re bi. You just want to make something it’s not and since you’re so delusional that you want something to exist when it doesn’t, there’s no convincing stupid

[@Softpaw1996]

yes well how about you make some arguments to prove your point? because they seem pretty far fetched. mulan is shown to be visibly discomforted when girls flirt with her. So there goes being into girls. She cant be bisexual. Shang develops a BROMANCE with ping. Not a romance. If you actually knew about how other people interacted you'd know this. he marries mulan when she is a girl in the second movie.

[@lunaq163]

Shang trusted Mulan litteraly because Mulan saved his damn life. First the didn't get along, he thought Mulan was a disgrace etc. But she earned his trust and respect throughout the movie. Mulan was the only soldier who cared for him after he lost his father he seemed to develop a friendship with her as Ping. When she was revealed to be a woman he knew that the punishment was death. (It was even mentioned by her father, that if Mulan's diguise gets revealed, she will be executed. Shang felt like the trust he gave Ping was also crushed cause Ping was a lie himself. I feel like knowing that and the fact that he would have to kill Mulan was why he was sad and angry. Not because she was woman. I mean why can't men be friends and care for each other without being in love? Why now every person has to be secretly in the closet?

[@itscesarbtch3451]

Plot twist: Shang knew that Mulan was a woman the whole time but just reacted when the others found out and had no other choice but to leave her in the snow and didn’t kill her because he grew feelings and respect for her………or not idk just something I thought about

[@IzzySoDope]

After the real mulan returned home from war she found her father had died years ago and she set to be concubine. So, she offed herself 😐

[@BurstFlare]

Okay, no. I have seen *zero* evidence of Shang having any kind of romantic interest in "Ping". The "you have my trust" scene is referring to the fact that *"Ping" saved his life!* 4:02 *No!* Shang was angry because *Mulan lied about her identity to get into the army, because news flash, IT WAS ILLEGAL FOR A WOMAN TO BE IN THE ARMY! There's nothing else to it!*

[@Sinnk_]

Okay okay. I for one would _love_ the idea of a gay prince, but there are just too many things that weren't taken into consideration. Like the fact that Shang you know.. _married_ Mulan. By choice. But also, the fact that it was thought he was borderline disgusted that 'Peng' was a woman and that he couldn't pursue her any further made no sense. The reason Shang was mad was because he was betrayed. Lied to. By someone who was supposed to fight beside him in a war. There's just no trust on his part. How can you risk your life with and for someone else when you don't even know something as simple as their name. Then, looking at it a more logical way, by law he had to execute Mulan for basically trespassing and impersonating a man. He didn't want to, obviously. But it was either lose the respect of your own warriors or lose someone you watched grow both in strength and mind. Of coarse he would be a little pissed and frustrated. Had nothing to do with his sexual interests/preferences, from my perspective.

[@bennu547]

Yay some one with common sense!

[@StephanieGarcia-vz8kl]

Touché

[@MultiLover9977]

I don‘t think Li Shang was intended to be bi because back then it wasn‘t really a thing to make popular movies about anything but straight characters, was it? I do see why he could be bi, but he could also just subconsciously have sensed that Mulan was a woman. I mean, there is more to falling in love than looks, there is energy and the scent of someone and the voice and Mulan hadn‘t changed her gender, just her clothing. So it would actually mean he is very straight, sensing that there was a woman with him even though she looked like a man.

[@gastii6613]

I don’t think he’s gay, I think he’s hetero, I have friends who most people think I have a crush on however I am completely straight, remember, ‘Peng’ (Mulan) is the first one to get the arrow, and do all his tasks successfully, and ultimately saved him. When Mulan was revealed as a woman he just felt betrayed, the person who helped save the Chinese Army was a female, breaking the law which wasn’t good with a general’s son who has to live up to his father’s name after he passed.

[@clermeegosh7983]

There is a theory in which the Horse is the embodiment of the great dragon that has the mission to protect Mulan's dad. ..

[@robinfa1477]

What if Shang was just demiromantic? He likes Mulan as an individual and that's all. I think Fa Zhou was granted land by the Emperor for some noble act in war. I don't think they cared for him to personally show up in the army, as long as someone represented the family. Otherwise, he would have been approached individually. He likely would've been sent home like Mulan almost was, if he had gone in his condition. If he had been healthy enough, they might have sent him with the General.

[@megami7373]

[@MikipatamBR]

Saying that Shang ~could~ possibly be gay is just wrong for many reason.. Shang was still interested in Mulan even after knowing she was a woman, no gay person would push a relationship after knowing that despite how well they bond because, in the end, he would still not be interested in female parts, at the very least you could say he is bisexual, but gay? Nah..

[@romulus5976]

Shang wasn't gay. He was attracted to Mulan (Ping) but didn't know why, when he found out that he was a woman, although he was angry for her deception, he knew why he was attracted to him in the first place. Because he was a woman.

Another interesting theory is the horse is the guardian of Mulan and her father since it's clear the horse displays a other worldly intelligence compared to the other horses who look like common animals also we clearly see it try to protect Mulan when they are about to execute her with a sword to the point that they restrain the horse

Shang and Mulan end up together at the end of the original sequal, which is animated.

[@jonathansk1905]

Just because Mulan is a movie about a girl who tries to be a man to save her father doesn't mean that the mean actor (prince) will be bi or gay. Mulan is from Chines poem. In fact, there is no Shang in the original poem. But as we know, it is Disney Cartoon, so It has to be a prince. In history of China, the trust between army and the general is very important. It is not easy to gain the trust from the General but Disney can not make that long or otherwise, it has to be 3h long. Plus there are a lot of Chinese poem talk about the a girl who tries to be a man to show her abilities.

[@Doctor_Odin]

They tried give the movie feminist connotations with the American sanitation fairytale ending. But in reality she just didn't want her dead basically committing suicide. But also wanted to still be the daughter of a lord and not a street urgent. because her family for not having a male member showing up would have lost their title for the dishonor. This is also why adoptive marriages are a thing.

Ping went from the worse soldier in the platoon to being the soldier that could best the caption. Li Shang was starting to respect him as a warrior. When she reveals she’s a woman she makes Li Shang look weaker than a woman. In this period in China it would have been scene as shameful as both a man and warrior.

For the live action trailer, I really wanna see them put the reflections song then where it says “who is that girl I see...” and after that line her dad yells Mulan then where it says “staring straight back at me” someone else yells Ping!

1. Li Shang is Bisexual (maybe) 2. Bromance 3. Mulan wasn't a princess 4. Shang wasn't a prince 5. I feel like I missed something please help me.

LovleyIsh mulan's father would've been sent to where Mulan went meaning he couldn't have helped any of those who died before Mulan made it to the battlefield so he probably couldn't have "won the war" especially because he would've died in battle

You see Mulan did a heroic act (saving China) and that made her an official Disney Princess. And in the sequel Shang marries Mulan. Sooo Shang becomes a Disney Prince.

[@Kinley_00]

In the first movie of Mulan you can hear one of the three main soldiers tell Shang under his breath”And I’ll do it my shirt on pretty boy”. Usually, Pretty boy is described as a “ gay “ person. HMHMHMHMHHHMMMMM🤔🤔🤔

Li chang isn’t gay (much to my dismay, I’d marry that man) because in mulan 2 chang proposes to mulan which she then accepts.

Bruh, Shang and Ping were just friends. Have you ever had a friend you really relate to and trust? That’s how you act around them

[@Zoe-tj4ld]

dont think hes gay, they just had a good friendship especially since she saved them and china and they end up together anyways. even if he was attracted to her before it may have been because of how feminine she looked.

[@bennu547]

Yet Shang ends up with Mulan. Giving some one your trust doesn’t mean you’re in love with them. Nither does having respect for a fellow soldier. Shang felt like he was lied to and that his trust was betrayed when he found out the truth about Mulan. That’s it. If you stop trying to fit a square in a round hole, you’d see that you’re only trying to make something it’s not. Mulan was the one who was crushing on Shang and Mushu calls her on that

How can Li be gay if he still ended up marrying Mulan.

Shang and Pings is not a sexual way it's more than likely the fact that he found an equal both in position and skill. Ping was probably his first legit friend after all Shang and Mulan are both children of Lords. And as Ping he is someone to confide in and watch his back on the battlefield. And his shock has to do with feelings of betrayal and what realistically happens to her historically. Considering minus the religious aspect and burning at the stake she's essentially the Chinese equivalent of Joan of Arc.
