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.

Would fill in for guards who needed rest). . Suffice it to say I like Hua Mulan better than this movie.

tbh, that was a minor plot hole in the original animated movie. Mulan's dad would've been sent home because of his age, meaning Mulan shouldn't need to do a thing (and she could've gone home too when she was deemed "unsuited for war", but I guess her own honor is more important for her dad's and her own's safety) (realistically in ancient China, men don't get sent home just because they're not as tough since the army needs every man they could find...so Mulan has good reasons to save her father)

That's what they were going for but it was executed very poorly.

In a real war, people don't randomly burst into song. But they do have magical powers. Good to know.

People back then are afraid of black magic and so magic tricks was used to win war and battle. But then for some people to realize such logic is too much critical thinking for them. Back to simpleton village.

Nice one. One minor point: Some medieval siege weapons had fire rates measured in rounds per day Depending on the weapon, you could get quite a bit done between shots. Of course, if we're going with realism, you wouldn't use those weapons against anything except cities, so...

Yes, but these guys use counterweight catapults, and fairly small ones, too ( 3:48). Those can easily be reloaded in two minutes, maybe four if you have a small team: pull down throwing arm (there's a rope attached to the end), secure with an iron pin, stick a second explosive into the sling, pull pin, rinse and repeat until you run out of explosives.
