[@Crimsonmonsoon]

Mulan has got to be my favorite Disney movie. Because it was heavily based on the original folk lore of Milan but also had its own creativity like adding Mushu and the Cricket, and giving all these characters pleasant personalities that made it more enjoyable to watch. Milan didn’t have powers, she wasn’t a Mary Sue. She was a normal girl who only wanted to help her father because if he had gone, he could be killed. And she knew she was going to be killed if she got caught yet she did it anyways which is what shows her incredible mindset. And as she grew as a character, so did the other characters. They all messed up, had a hard time with training, and struggled to get through with things but over time they ALL became physically strong, smarter, and better fit for the reason they were all there, to fight in a war. It wasn’t Milan holding up the whole team. And the love story was so subtle yet precious I adored it. It was a good movie that showed healthy feminism and girl power without just shoving it down your throat. And then they remade it and now the children of the future will likely only watch the remake because ooo magic.

@Bernie's Mittens What you just described has nothing to do with feminism. A strong PERSON is someone who fights through setbacks and earns their victory. Its not "feminist storytelling" just because the protagonist is female. No part of the story is about fighting for gender equality and none of the movies were meant as a "feminist" stories. Mulan is a role model for her bravery, love and unselfishness, but she is not a feminist icon.

Even in Hua Mulan where she WAS better than most of the other characters... It was because she trained her entire life under the tutelage of one of the greatest masters. Her reason for joining the army was as much to save her father, who would have been killed due to his asthma, as it was because she knew she was the best for the job. Also her falling inlove with the general was a like more sweet because she liked him because he was caring and compassionate (For example, he... as the general... Would fill in for guards who needed rest). . Suffice it to say I like Hua Mulan better than this movie.

[@flockinify]

@@Nionivek Hua Mulan (2009) was better because even though she was a better fighter than others, the film was about responsibility and the horrors of war, not proving oneself. Mulan still had flaws and tribulations to overcome. It's not strong women that are the problem, Disney just suck at writing.

tbh, that was a minor plot hole in the original animated movie.

Then when Mulan gets accepted by the army she feels there is a place for her among the Kingdom and decides to help Mulan save it and because she empathized with Mulan decides to sacrifice herself to save her. That's what they were going for but it was executed very poorly. The bad guys treat the Witch like crap even though she's basically fighting a one woman war for most of it, it really makes you wonder why she needs the bad guys help at all, it seems like she could just fly into the palace and kill the Emperor then take the throne for herself.

When the one dude literally said "tranquill as a forest, but on fire within" I felt mocked because it was like they were throwing the lack of songs in my face

[@term02]

That was Donnie Yen and he was wasted on this dumpster fire of a movie.

@William Eric Wolff I didn't have a choice it was at a family gathering 😂

[@RichD2024]

This was the goofiest movie I've seen in a long time. You nailed it. When she teleports behind enemy lines I was like "Wtf?". How she literally goes from being banished to "you're our leader now" in a matter of 5 seconds. What the hell is Disney thinking?

[@shadowdragonlord2295]

That women are always right.

[@SuezosTongue]

I think goofy is the wrong word, cause there's no fun at all. Maybe head scratching? Or weird?

[@sgtkort97]

Some editor really fucked that scene up its really abrupt

[@shadowdragonlord2295]

@@sgtkort97 Who? I'm asking because I want to see if it was because of legit reasons or if they were brought on due their skin color or some other blue checkmark and lacked the skills for the job.

[@Artbug]

my theory is they made it bad so they have an excuse to remake the remake in 5 years for another cash grab

“Being born with it is tight” is the hardest I’ve laughed in a while

"She's Anakin, She's Rey, She's Neo... She's just the Chosen One."

[@UselessHumansMusic]

She's...Mary Sue!

[@padawanmage71]

Yep, lost interest already

Plot Holes, Fake-Feminism, Plot Holes, disregarding and insulting the source material intensely, and also Plot Holes?! And also Fake-Feminism??? Wow, i cant believe we have ANOTHER ONE of those. AGAIN!?!? Again another one?!

[@killgriffinnow]

Anakin needed to train and he got beat time and time again

[@SushiReversed]

Except Anakin had training...

[@julianpradarodriguez7336]

-wont it be hard to screw up this movie, having the original and the Legend as reference? +No, its going to be super easy, barely an inconvenience

[@woobiesftw]

I'm a bilingual chinese and this is the best 5 mins I've had in a while. This hits so many nails a coffin became an iron maiden.

[@npaujkubyaj]

Lmao 😂

[@benjamincole8164]

That's a very interesting analogy. I love it!

[@Bigwasp80]

😂😂😂😂

[@marrow1243]

Have any other awsome analogys?

[@ioiwut4874]

yeah so im definitely stealing this overtly morbid metaphor. thats an instant classic
