@@cedric182 For starters, you do know what is a Mary Sue, right? The Frozen princesses are not Mary Sues, and the Encanto I couldn't tell you since I quit Disney after all their B.S. And the B.S. is not just about Mary Sues. Disney follows a clear agenda to emasculate male characters. Even those already established like Luke, Han Solo, Thor, etc. Imagine if the opposite happened (destroying a established strong fem character to prop up a male on). Anyways, from the top of my head: - Rey from StarWars. The most obvious and pathetic example probably. - Then you have anything Marvel after Phase 3: Captain Marvel (actually since phase 3), She-Hulk, Wanda/ScarletWitch, etc.) Cant name them all, cause again I quit Disney. - From what I understand the new Mulan(live-action) as well. So probably most of the female leads in the live-action remakes. The direction/agenda is clear, at least when it comes to Disney.
6:18 Omfg. “Must be somewhere in Asia?” 😂 Anyways. It should be noted that while the song is singing about masculinity, it’s specifically a Chinese version of masculinity, which (can still be equally toxic but) in the case of this song, incorporates ideas like the yin-yang harmony of contradicting opposites, and tempered discipline over uncontrolled rage. Hence, phrases like “tranquil as a forest, but a fire within” and “find your center.” And of course, the final message of the song is that masculine strength & courage is not only accessibly to males, but females are just as capable of demonstrating this admirable type of the will to power.
The army has ordered a man for every family to fight but Mulans father had no son. He was not phsically able so Mulan stole his armour cut her hair and tried to pass herself off as a man
What I loved was that not only did she come out on top, but so did the others who seemed weak. Maybe they took inspiration from her but she was not the only one who found her strength. Anyway the reason I'm listening to this song today is because I had a dream last night of my football coach from school training us and he made us sing this song (in my dream). Posted this on my insta story without naming the coach and the Boys from my same class replied asking if it was the same coach that I was dreaming of 😂
I've always loved this song the most from Mulan, but in Spanish, (I'm from Spain) it talks about being brave, not a man, when I heard the song in english for the first time I was so puzzled 🤣🤣 Also, my favourite description of this song ever: "The entire army of China trained in one song" 👍
@@headcaptainyamamoto7015 yes, but it doesn't actually tell the woman "I'm gonna make a man out of you", which is more absolute xD that's what I meant.
what's the most important about this song is that you can see how in their mind back then they used to belittle women, which is why it feels toxic. They think only men can become great soldiers, women weren't even allowed in the army. Which is why the fact that Mulan is a woman (hiding it from the other soldiers) is really interesting and funny. His best soldier isn't even a man but a woman, making the whole purpose of his song ironical and wrong.
Dude this song is written about the military and trained to be a soldier. It's not toxic. In those eras, men protected their countries and their families. Mulan is one of the most powerful worriers in her era, even the emperor respects her not only her soldiers respect her a lot but even her horse. She was not just a soldier but a general. That's empower to the women.
Need to remember the times these movies are set aswell as the culture your watching because then you can actually see passed the "toxic" masculinity and actually understand what the song or movie is trying to say
It was meant to be an ironic title and lyrics, but out of context I understand it might raise some eyebrows 😂 The whole sequence of Mulan deconstructing the hyper-masculinity of the song is so satisfying to watch. Also, the chorus is kind of similar to, or maybe a reference of, Sun Tzu’s Art of War.
For your eyes- I would recommend trying to rinse them well with water-- which maybe you already have, but if not... yeah, you want to get the soap stuff out. Crying may not cut it. The rough-looking guy...? He's not a bully, or mean, really; he just... has a short fuse. Let's just say, he and Mulan didn't get off to a very good start. Or actually, Mulan didn't get off to a good start with any of them. And the little red dragon was not helping matters. At all. They are giving her a hard time because they are annoyed with her-- when you watch the movie it'll make more sense. Also, the thing with the arrow is that she was thinking from a new angle. She used the weights in a way that would HELP rather than make it harder to climb. -- The movie takes place in China.
So, this was the original song by Donny Osmond from 1998. You should check out Dan Vasc's metal cover of this song that he did a couple of years ago. It's awesome.
Not necessarily toxic masculinity in ancient China it was only the men who fought for emperor and country they didn't want the women of the house to brave the uncertainty of war it was an honor for the men to take up the mantle to protect the family
The whole point of this song is the irony of “making a man” out of the male cadets, who all suck, while the most gifted member of the troop is actually a woman.
She wasn't gifted. She was clumsy and a hindrance to others in the matter of fact. She was the worst of them all. But her will and brains made her become the best "man" out of them all (which i love because this movie shows that with willingness and hard work, even the weakest can become the strongest)
As much as Mulan was about being masculine and a man (because they are at war), it wasa one of the first Disney movies that were progressive enough to show Li Shang (the leader) slowly fall in love with Mulan (even while she was masquerading as a man).
I always interpreted the song as being about how manhood is a performance, it’s something thats learned and not innate, and Mulan who is a biological female is just as capable at acting the part as anybody else. It’s a song about gender and what creates it, it’s all superficial.
Its funny looking at this now. The commander is literally saying to the woman ill make a man out of you 😅 with all the gender crap going on nowadays it hits a little different 😂
loved this song as a kid and still do and it was a indoctrinating movie. it taught litte girls to be like men. "how can i make a man out of you" and " be a man'' 😂
A strong female character done right, and someone men actually can get behind. So unlike all the other modern Mary Sues from Disney.
like who? youre cherry picking. Encanto, Frozen, and many many more i can say after that movie.

@cedric182 like Rey in star wars.. It's clear you don't understand the concept.
I adore seeing Mulan reach the arrow using her brains and strength
This is literally my favorite song in Mulan
This is probably my favorite song in Disney lol

Toxic?? You are a joke
Watch the whole movie sirrrrr it's a masterpiece I watched it countless times as a kid 🥲
"she learned all this in an afternoon? interesting.." i hollered
Whats crazy is that you’ve been alive this long and havent seen mulan
The army has ordered a man for every family to fight but Mulans father had no son. He was not phsically able so Mulan stole his armour cut her hair and tried to pass herself off as a man
You are a very kind sir indeed

In spanish it still says "hombres ser" in the bakground, it's got the same meaning of overcoming your limitations and working hard
@@headcaptainyamamoto7015 yes, but it doesn't actually tell the woman "I'm gonna make a man out of you", which is more absolute xD that's what I meant.
@@headcaptainyamamoto7015 Yes, but most people used to mistake it as saying "vencer" (win) or "fuerte ser" (be strong) without the lyrics 😅
lol i love this comment

Still the best song after Reflection. And the purpose of the song is to showcase how hard work works most of all
China is still that way actually they still be little women there and still only men are allowed to join the army
In real life women are soldiers. In real life Gal Gadot can't fight Chris Hemsworth. Biology doesn't care about woke ideology.

This litteraly a disney princess movie, the song encourage bravery to overcome hardship.
Mulan taught me as a young boy that I could be attracted to women who I wasn't immediately "attracted to"
if you haven’t DEFINITELY watch princess and the frog! some of the best disney songs fr
the songs from that movie are slept on imo
@@heliopaws oh 100%
This one of my favorite Disney songs. This and he’s not one of us is top tier
do not bother with Mulan II. It's garbage.
Need to remember the times these movies are set aswell as the culture your watching because then you can actually see passed the "toxic" masculinity and actually understand what the song or movie is trying to say
The whole movie is against toxic masculinity
I like how you pretty much figured out the entire movie in a few seconds lol
Mulan is a top fave
Out of Disney Princess cartoons, Mulan's story is kinda different and this is my one of my fav cartoons ever. 💕It's really funny because of Mushu.😂😂
It was meant to be an ironic title and lyrics, but out of context I understand it might raise some eyebrows 😂 The whole sequence of Mulan deconstructing the hyper-masculinity of the song is so satisfying to watch. Also, the chorus is kind of similar to, or maybe a reference of, Sun Tzu’s Art of War.

-- The movie takes place in China.
I love in the end scene when the soldiers are UP IN DRAGS and the song plays again. I think thats progressive lol😂😂😂😂
So, this was the original song by Donny Osmond from 1998. You should check out Dan Vasc's metal cover of this song that he did a couple of years ago. It's awesome.
You should have started with the reflection song. That one is 🔥 🔥 🔥
Not necessarily toxic masculinity in ancient China it was only the men who fought for emperor and country they didn't want the women of the house to brave the uncertainty of war it was an honor for the men to take up the mantle to protect the family
she doing it for her dad

But her will and brains made her become the best "man" out of them all (which i love because this movie shows that with willingness and hard work, even the weakest can become the strongest)
This song is motivation for future generations especially in this part 3:18
4:17 oh girl you better get up lmao
As much as Mulan was about being masculine and a man (because they are at war), it wasa one of the first Disney movies that were progressive enough to show Li Shang (the leader) slowly fall in love with Mulan (even while she was masquerading as a man).
He was not falling for Mulan when she was acting as a man. Bruhh
You should really what this movie if you haven't. All time favorite of mine, the golden era of disney
Mulan is a classic Gem hunny
I always interpreted the song as being about how manhood is a performance, it’s something thats learned and not innate, and Mulan who is a biological female is just as capable at acting the part as anybody else. It’s a song about gender and what creates it, it’s all superficial.
Yes that’s MUlan !!!!
between all the princess mulan and tiana are worthy to look up
yess I love mulan!!
Second fav Disney mirrors behind the lion king for me gotta check out movie if havemt seen it

Its funny looking at this now. The commander is literally saying to the woman ill make a man out of you 😅 with all the gender crap going on nowadays it hits a little different 😂
I can't belive you haven't watch Mulan
The movie came early 2000’s. It was my favorite movie as kid because it was the first girl in a movie that wasn’t a princess.
Came out 1998
It came out in 1998 not 2000 but lots of kids born in the 2000’s watched it (me born in 2006)
This song is about how a woman was able to “be a man” greater than any cis male born in China.
MR POPO
loved this song as a kid and still do and it was a indoctrinating movie. it taught litte girls to be like men. "how can i make a man out of you" and " be a man'' 😂
I think you need a new Shampoo and Conditioner then.

Mulan taught me as a young boy that I could be attracted to women who I wasn't immediately "attracted to"
