The animated Mulan showed a regular woman who trained and struggled to get stronger. This newer version was OP from the very start. Disney doesn't get it anymore. It's sad.
Yep! You don't get to see her grow. She's boring.
It’s not Disney. It depends on the director they chose😏
@@lululs4014 idk man, they did the same thing with captain marvel and rey.
@@lululs4014 no. It is 100 % disney.
The director, Niki Caro, has made numerous other films with interesting female leads.
This movie is clearly a result of Disney going "LET'S PANDER!" without knowing how to pander or even write a good female character anymore.
@Erwin Lii the thing is, mulan is powerful for the wrong reasons in the live-action take.
She is born powerful. She didn't earn her powers. She didn't work to gain a powerful chi.
In the animated movie, she earned her power and earned the respect of the fellow soldiers by hard work and dedication and using her brain.
It is much more interesting and inspiring to see someone mediocre earn their power and become a legend, than see someone born powerful just stay the same.
"Who are you?"
"Mulan."
"Mulan what?"
"Mulan Skywalker."
Basically every Disney movie nowadays...
Everything look CGI and cartoonish like the phantom menace.
I didn't suspect a sequel coming out so soon but at least there's a legacy behind the chosen one with a background story behind her life before the Jedi and her father want to protect her from the force

The witch is Kylo Ren, she says in the movie; We'll finish what we started
It's the final conclusion that Kylo Ren won't see a place for their kind until the old ways are gone
The legendary Mary Sue Number Two
There's only one good thing about the music being gone: they don't have to ruin it
But Jackie Chan though.
I mean if he did the singing in this one like the original
@@halkun7191 It's Not Jackie Chan!
Richard Gadberry Jackie Chan actually sang the Chinese version
Yes, but with the music, you could at least close your eyes and enjoy it.
Same with Mushu
"She's got the strongest chi!"
OH NO, MULAN HAS MIDICHLORIANS
Fck...At least they didn't add Mushu for the Jar Jar Binks effect...but that wasn't a creative decision, that was cuz China said "Do it the way we want it or else" and Disney complied because they love that China money.
Y
@@alexthelizardking Well...China has a population of almost 1.4 billion people, more than 1/7 the population of the entire planet. The Chinese government has made it so that no foreign company, even one as big as Disney, can do business in China without a locally owned surrogate company to do their business for them. On top of all of that, the Chinese government has a long list of rules that any movie, game, song, or book being published within their borders has to comply with. If Disney doesn't do either of these things, they can't sell their movie to that 1.4 billion people, which equates to a lot of potentially missed sales.
@@mq5731 That's not true, Chinese people also dislike this movie. Disney has failed to please both sides. You should check out Mulan: Rise of a Warrior (2009) like the other person has mentioned, it's free on TH-cam and it was produced within China. Disney has failed Mulan because they didn't respect the audience nor the history, they just wanted quick money.
@@stephen2577 Oh I know that people In China don't like it either. I had heard they liked a different Mulan movie, didn't know it came out in 2009 though. But just because people in China didn't like the film, doesn't mean that it wasn't Disney's target audience. It is possible the film failed for multiple reasons, but seeing as I have not watched the film(Did anyone really want to pay 30$ for something that would have been free in a few months?), I can't speak to weather or not Disney disrespected the audience.
"Youve tried to please verybody, and youve pleased nobody'' This statement can be applied to 90% of all media now
Please everybody? More like brainwash everybody with their political agenda.
I think that problem and that "subverting expectations" nonsense really helps explain what's gone wrong in a lot of media the past few years.
Not really. Right now they try to please an audience that it is not interested in their shit. Star Trek is the best example. They try to please a crowd that never cared for star trek.
Like the prequals.
Mario Badia more like the sequel trilogy
"We want a more respectful and realistic version of Mulan"
Has assassins creed wall running and an actual green witch.
That's disrespecting assassins creed
Thing is that they are full of shit with that. They don't want to admit that the movie was the center of a woman that was refused enlistment for being a woman and so she pretended to be a man in order to join. The director obviously said "That's sexist" and went about destroying the Mulan legacy
@@aniki6575 Even disrespecting the Assassin's Creed movie.
@@Deadsea_1993 what's worse is shit's supposed to be sexist, that's the whole fucking point lmao. Imagine negating literal history
No, Realistic too the Chinese mythology of Mulan, aka, the original story before the cartoon.
The moral of the story: Girls can only be equal to boys if they are blessed with the power of Chi.
Movies message -You can achieve your dreams if you're born special with the power of chi
@Art of Carl hahaha oh my god how could anyone inspire to copy devloution
Old memories when mulan earned everyone's respect by discovering the secret of weights you need discipline and strength to reach the arrow. and she was the only one who literally tied them to not fall
@Art of Carl they're called Wuxia films.
@@TH-camApestaACACA she was already trained in martial arts in the poem.
Disney Producer: It would be hard to write another character with as little growth or character arc as Rey.
Disney screenwriter: Actually, it would be super easy, barely an inconvenience.
Oh, bare inconveniences are tight!
“So it turns out people didn’t really like our movie.”
“Whoops.”
“Whoopsie.”

I see you good sir, are also a fan of TH-cam clickbait

Mulan is now magic. " Wow, wow, wow, wow "
Disney: we need to be more realistic so take out the dragon.
Also Disney: Hmmm let’s add a witch and people magically running up walls!
Took out the dragon to appease the Chinese and not offend them 🙄
@@reinderrider45 no the Chinese movie goers do like Mushu Eddie Murphy it is just a Privellaged vocal minority wanted a historical authentic disney film it is only because the vocal minority holds powerful diplomatic political interests.
FreelanceArt101 Well it ruined the movie and they ruin everything else thats fun about the world
My question is... would they even be offended?
They took out the siamese cat song in lady and the tramp cuz it was "offensive" but... was it?
@@reinderrider45 Just to add some info to anyone who believes making fun of dragons in China or Asia is seen as disrespectful. Its not. Not all dragons are the same. The dragon was a imperial symbol and heads up the Chinese abolished their monarchy decades ago. Tiny dragons are made fun of all the time in Chinese stories. Dragons don't have that kind of religious symbolism, its not like its a depiction of the Islamic prophet.
I feel like going realistic was a mistake. One of the things that makes the Disney animated movies so compelling is their music and art.
Edit: When I say it’s realistic, I’m referring to how the movie isn’t a musical and has more realistic visuals
True that
Yeah, youre right. I still feel like Disney could've made this "realistic" portrayal work if they made better decisions with the story.
It was a good idea!
*If they didnt call it Mulan*
I mean Aladdin wasn't that bad TBH, live action.
People flying around and turning into bird? and then tell ppl Disney movie is going realistic so there is no music and singing? I have no idea what Disney is trying to do....at least Aladdin has singing, and Lion king has Lion, Mulan?

"This movie is trying to impress the American Audience, and the Chinese Audience"
Well they failed to impress both.
And failed to impress they're wallet to
@@NoName-st2jl good point
Wasn't the original more liked by the Chinese audience, by a huge margin?
@@christiandauz3742 From what I've heard, it's the opposite. From what I've heard they HATED the story, especially the dragon.
@@RedSharkey27
Really, they prefer this shit remake over the original animation?
The 90s animation and the 2009 Live-Action are far better that the 2020 remake!!!
Disney: Let's get down to business......
and destroy everything you loved from your childhood.
Wrong. Your enjoyment of the animated Mulan film can't be destroyed. All this is a shitty remake.
Directed by a white person. Someone needs to tell this directer that this is isn't how you direct an asian story
Bobby Jimboy you are right go to his death destroy Star Wars with one Star Wars movie I think it’s called the Phantom Menace
Christopher Barker you’re right people who love Mulan always have that special place in their heart and seeing this remake will probably break it but you’re right about what happens who cares because I will not listen to those good reviewer‘s who love this movie because they’re probably people don’t watch the original or people who did watch the original and say that it’s cool or woke
@@Garry-y7b You're right, the prequels suck, the sequels are worse.
It's sort of like Disney only understand the most surface level simplistic version of a strong woman.
So when they need to show a strong female character it's not about growth of character it's just about a woman with stupidly overpowered abilities
The people who push for this type of stuff are satisfied so there is no reason to improve
@Karol Jeske No, I don't think I know what they are?
Ironically, the original animation shows the power of woman character much better. In the original, Mulan manage to join the army through hard working, and through intelligence and quick thinking, manage to accomplish none of man can do. This shows woman can do equally or much better than man by hard working and realisitic ability.
But in this idiot movie, Mulan accomplish things by magic that does not exist in this world and luckily Mulan was born with it. It seems that movie is telling the world, “woman cannot surpass man except having supernatural power. Fuck off real world woman!” What a lazy writing
She's an R99
@@fin4314 no, i'm not satisfied. this sucks
"She's good at everything but it isn't earned." sounds like Rey, disney seems to have an issue with setting up characters..... Nobody connects with people who are automatically awesome at everything!
Knoxx That's what they consider female empowerment...
N a i v a r o Yep, Women have always been amazing at everything, it's just these terrible toxic straight men holding them back... because it's not like Goku, Neo, Karate Kid, Luke Skywalker, or even the OG Mulan ever had to train hard or go through epic journeys to become super powerful...
I thought in original Mulan she sucked until she had training, that what the Make a man out of you song emphase.
I'm guessing they fk up in new movie.
Exactly. Even if you look at someone like Michael Jordan, he had to work extremely hard and work with his team to be as good as he was. He lost a lot of games and many of the series he was playing in were never clear cut. The Bulls always had something to prove. But Mulan, and Rey, are good without earning it at all. No training, no countless hours perfecting their craft. You can’t relate to that.
@@EZ-IZZY1995 I didn't know they mess up this bad in new one.
It like they were better off making a entirely different movie. Mulan wasnt a Rey in the original at all.
It was apparent in origina that the general Li Shang was the strongest of the army.
“Disney is no longer just creating their own cardboard characters. They are now converting our old, incredible characters into cardboard.” -Mauler
A link to the video where he said that?
Disney has gone too far.
When Superman said "I live in a world of cardboard" I don't think he meant this.
Disney also has been turning their old characters into cardboards.
@@liamwarner5749 but it's becoming this way nevertheless.
I expected garbage and we got it.
Pretty much
Joker Productions it’s too serious the original still holds up it was funny it’s sometimes hard serious moments but it was funny
I tried the other live remakes and honestly I couldn't get through the movie at all it was awful
Love your channel!
COME ON Disney wasted Donnie Yen in this movie even though its going to be garbage
Animated Mulan - hard work, responsibility, ingenuity, perseverance
New Mulan - Chi Powers
New Mulan - Chiting ...
May the Chi be with you...
Goddamn, since when Mulan becomes the Iron Fist? 😂
So it's a bad movie because they didnt make it 1:1 exactly similar to the animated film? Wow. I understand the movie is bad in terms of low budget. But I think the story was pretty fun to watch. I like the chi power. It's wasn't OP. And I like how the Phoenix was her guardian angel.
@@UltimateQball well, considering Disney marketed this movie as "realistic" and did any thing but, there are other reasons to not be impressed.
No one is asking for a 1:1 remake. Stop using this as a defence. Its a cop out
When the remake is a pale interpretation of the original, yeah, people can get annoyed. You are meant to improve or build up the story if you are making a remake, not make it worse.
This movie literally goes against the moral of the story-
How I didnt see it and I'm curious
@@Don11037 basically the original shows that with enough determination and effort a woman can be just great a warrior as a man. In this movie, she seems to be special from the get go and is given "powers" by the witch which completely ruins the message of the beloved animated film.
@@FXD609 oh wow that's some shit Disney is so soulless didnt even think about that they were probably like we should make this woman powerful without even thinking about it
@@FXD609 I would add that the moral is also falial piety (loyalty to the family/father) when they introduced chi and lowered the stakes, it also took away a huge portion of Mulan's motivation. Mulan didn't set out to be a badass warrior or prove herself against men, that was just an awesome byproduct of her trying to survive and maintain honor. She genuinely cared about her country, her family, and her brothers in arms and that drover her to stay, to train, and to fight.
@@Don11037 Even worse than that is the fact that the movie contradicts *its own* message. Xian Lang (the witch) at one point tells Mulan that her chi is being held back because she is lying to herself by dressing up as a man. However, Mulan is dressing up as a man not because she *wants* to dress up in men's clothes to express her chi, but because she *has* to dress up as a man in order to get into the army. She will literally be killed if she joins as a woman.
Additionally, Xian Lang throws a knife at Mulan's chest to kill her, but she is saved because she is still wearing her chest brace, something that she was ONLY wearing to conceal her gender. If she hadn't been wearing this and pretending to be a man, she would have died. This scene goes against the lesson that we were JUST given.
How did Mulan get there so fast? She 'Chi' ted.... :)
That joke was terrible and you should feel ashamed- ... But proud cuz it is well played-
Ahahahaha fuck you, take my like.
Because she used the aspect of the 'chi' tah
Ahahahahahaha 👏👏👏
You were probably one of the people that said the matrix was too exaggerated.
"You want to please everybody but end up pleasing nobody."
So it's Star Wars 7-9 then? Along with Bayformers.
I agree completely... however.. can we all agree to give Bay the FIRST Transformers movie? Maybe that's just me though lol
Star Wars 7-9 ended up pleasing most people-- turns out youtube and reddit don't represent the majority of the audience. They also received, on average, good reviews and tons of profit. If they didn't please you, though, that's perfectly fine.
Woozma stop lying, we know critics have been jokes for years now. Their reviews and those of their publications mean nothing
@@Woozma A lot of that is also true of 1-3 and the reality is those have a very mixed legacy among fans as well. Also "pleasing most people" can't be measured by box office results.
@@robm6645 You're right, that's why we have rotten tomatoes' audience score. I'm not gonna argue any further than saying the following: you cannot tell me with a straight face that ANY of the star wars films "pleased nobody." That's the statement of someone who thinks that their demographic is the only one that exists, and all of the moviegoers outside of this website are irrelevant.
“Do we really want to spoil this?”
“I mean, it’s a two thousand year old story...”
😂
What is there to spoil? 😂
@@Lauren_210 woosh
@@Lauren_210 well that they took out/changed all the good parts is kind of a spoiler XD
And they treated it like that robin hood antifa film that every one forgot.
Moral of the story:
You’re only special, if you’re special.
Or
The only women who matter, are the ones with fighting abilities (physically compete with men)
The only people* that matter, are the ones with fighting abilities and it’s been that way for all of history lol
The real question is: would you really want a woman who couldn't fight?
just another black man bro that’s messed up
@@graces3020 I'm not saying that all women don't matter! I'm saying it would be nice if we all had a girl like Mulan that could defend herself.
just another black man I mean nowadays a lot of women are taking self defense classes in case god forbid something horrible did happen. But dude, watch what you say cause your comment didn’t say, “it would be nice if a lot of women learned how to fight.” Ur comment literally said that nobody would want a women who couldn’t fight.
Did nobody realize that Mulan barely had 10 lines in her own movie?
Seriously, rewatch it. She barely talks and most of the time just sits there with a serious face.
Disney: "Hey look.. all Asian cast . Aren't we so respectful of Asian culture. Diversity! Only 30 disney bucks."
Also Disney: Add a witch
And add magical chi making mulan good at combat from the onset, I mean who needs to show training montages nowadays. Just give your protagonist a gimmick to save the extra minutes of movie time.
Also the argument of not putting Mushu in the movie to respect Chinese culture falls flat. Witches did not exist in the Chinese culture as you point out. So her "existence" in the movie is as disrespectful as Mushu's would have supposedly been. Even the symbolic of the Phoenix as they intend to in this movie is pure bs from a Chinese culture perspective.
@@Bllll957 Witches are a part of every culture they just have different names Ancient China had witches in fact Witch Craft is pretty popular in modern China to it's mostly fortune telling and palm reading But every culture has witches
@Marie Chambe actually “witch craft” , and magic does exist in Chinese culture and every culture. They show Asian sorcerers in all types of movies. There were practitioners of the dark arts referred to as a Wu and Gu. The majority of Chinese “ mysticism” can be categorized as “witchcraft” or “magic” basically. They didn’t use Mushu because they thought it was “politically incorrect”
@@Bllll957 as a chinese, remove mushu for respect culture is the ultimate bs.

Wait I thought this was based off the ballad of Mulan where Mulan was a pure badass
Also has a bunch of chinese actors and actresses that I’ve seen in other Chinese films that do badass stuff.
Oh wait this mainly an American comment section full of us westerners who wanted a disney movie but also get mad when culture is appropriated
@@camberedyakuza No we just want good cultural appropriation. Would you want to appropriate French baking or North Korean "Re-education camps"? One seems much better to appropriate than the other.
@@camberedyakuza The 2009 version of Mulan started off as a badass and STILL HAS STRUGGLES AND CONFLICT. Not to mention a personality.
camberedyakuza wtf are you even talking about? You’re probably down for the little mermaid being black instead of a ginger. Disney is fucking full of people who I’m assuming didn’t even watch the animations
em1ownerify look up the ballad of Mulan.
This is probably second accurate to the accounts of the legend of Hua Mulan.
You’re proving that you know nothing about the actual legend that even the ‘98 original was loosely based on.
Yes disney wants profits but what they were doing was actually good for this movie and all of western civilization does not understand it.
They are truly depicting chinese culure and a legend pretty well.
But since most of us know only the 98 movie, we want a talking dragon and some singing classics.

sophon block being skilled at something through hard work is not the same as being skilled because of magic dude
sophon block but you’ said in your original comment that the movie was trying to be more historically accurate which is hardly the case since there is no such thing as magical chi. Skill and accomplishments are in thanks only to a person’s hard work and determination and I’m not being a crybaby I’m simply voicing my opinion no need to attack someone just because you’re triggered by the fact that they disagree with you.
sophon block it’s kind of a bad artistic choice for the story her accomplishments would be more inspiring for viewers if there was no natural talent at play as most people won’t have that raw natural talent at things. I feel in my opinion that overcoming the odds despite your flaws and weaknesses is much more compelling but I understand your original comment now Joe made it seem that chi was something magical rather than just another word for talent.
@@sophonblock76 only China cares about the original story while the rest of the world on the other hand doesn't give a shitt
@@sophonblock76 yeah cause flying super hero Mulan is so realistic
I remember feeling very empowered as a small girl after watching Mulan but this... it doesn't make me feel strong it makes me feel insecure and i'm in my 20's.
When i was small my self esteem was very low because i wasn't born as privileged as my classmates, i wasn't from wealthy family, i wasn't pretty, i wasn't really talented etc etc. but stuff like Mulan helped me realize i can just *become* who i want to be what resulted with me learning art and languages all by myself in very young age.
Now Mulan remakes came out and it did COMPLETE OPPOSITE of what original did - it tells girls you have to be born the certain way or practice since being a fetus to be worth anything, again, they did the exact same with other remakes.
It's not female empowerment, female empowerment is showing characters that are human, flawed but still capable of overcoming obstacles because this is something women and girls can relate to.
2020's Mulan is some goddamn personalityless one man army on steroids but always with great hair, good luck relating to that.
Lol even 80's action heroes to have more personality than many of the recent films that try to make strong female charaters as a lot of them tend to forget the character part and focus on the strong but not in any way present that strength in any intresting way. The only one that hit the nail in my opinion is DC with wonder woman as she has Character.
If studios want to make characters strong make that strengthhas to be interesting we watch Comando not because Arnold is a dude but because he is a Dad rescuing his child if they want a hero to be superstrong just atleast make them have humanity.

Mulan is basically Rey, she didn't learn anything, she magically knows it all without training, Disney never learns from their mistakes i see.
Tbf, the movie did start off by saying she was trained by her father.
@@MrAllmightyCornholioz Still, the whole purpose of the animated movie was the jorney, just like in almost everything Mulan, but this one had none, she was already trained, with no learning it kinda defeats the purpose.
@@MrAllmightyCornholioz When writing a story the character needs a form of development to appeal to readers/watchers. Sure she had training but there should have still been more possible development in her skills.
It would have been interesting to see what would have been different if they kept her clumsy personality trait. 🤔
That arrow kicking its hands down bulshit. Not even a Fanfic is close to the imposibility of that stunt.
You won't know it's even worse?
They both have little to no personality to the point where you can't relate to them.
Honestly, I kinda hate what they did to the father's character? It seems like everyone on the internet just lets it slide because there are bigger things to chew on, but for me, a *huge* part of the original animation was that father character, and how he is always supportive of Mulan and appreciates her for her. I think Mulan 1998 is very smart of showing it: father's fondness is never spelled out until that final scene that makes me cry every time it is even referenced, but his smile says everything in scenes he has no words, and the two times he goes off at Mulan that is obviously hurting him no less than Mulan herself.
Meanwhile, the movie father explicitly says he failed to raise Mulan the right way, and in the final scene he admits that to Mulan and says that only now that she majorly succeeded in the army he sees how awesome she actually is. It's something that 1998 Mulan would never ever do. I have to assume it's more of a personal thing for me than it is a bad thing for everyone, but for me, this unsupportiveness of the father stings on the same level as making Mulan a Mary Sue, so, basically destroys the whole story.
Oh so true
That really bothered me too
I feel like Mulan's father in the original showed in many ways his fondness over Mulan even before the final scene such as that flower scene where he tells Mulan about how a flower hasn't bloomed yet but someday it will indicating that she too will bloom someday. Then the whole entire thing of him going to war happens directly after that.
@@andreasmeelie1889 Yes, that! Like how he sees Mulan returning from the matchmaker all sad and looking away, and then follows her into the garden right after that. Or how he delivers that "Mulan, you dishonor me" line, but not in a reprimanding way, not looking her in the eye. Just, whichever scene he is in, whatever he does and whatever new stuff we learn about his character, we also have the constant reaffirmation that, yes, he is that and also the one who cares deeply about Mulan.
They gave him the full Luke skywalker treatment

The original animated movie was more realistic for a strong female lead, even if it had a talking dragon and cricket. 🐉🦗
I just realized that they filmed many of the outdoor parts of the film in Xinjiang, near a couple of the "reeducation camps" there. They even thanked several government agencies that are in charge of the camps near their filming site, lol. Well, I think that about summed up the film.

Because there Po GREW and EARNED that kind of higher power and you still feel that connection to him as a character. Here I just felt alienated from Mulan like "oh she has superpowers now? huh. Well there goes any and all tension and growth and eugh."
It takes away from the endearment that Mulan had in the classic film. Her reasons and struggles were for the life of her father. She knew she was potentially signing a death wish, but struggled anyway out of pure love and compassion and used her mind and wit to overcome her odds and challenges. That's what made her such a strong and lovable character.
Now she's just OP as hell with magic....mmmk Disney lol.
@@cold_Lightning9 she's a Mary Sue now. I loved the old Mulan this one I knew was gonna be bad the second a ad came out about it
@@cold_Lightning9 exactly. Couldn't have said it better myself. It also takes away what Disney loved about telling stories-the story of perseverance and skill getting you through the shit. It's why Cinderella is his favorite story. He felt like he related to her in a lot of ways. And by making Mulan super OP here it just feels false and you question more things like "oh okay the witch had to sacrifice herself for mulan? why couldn't Mulan dodge it with chi?" ugh
Right when I heard about that, I was like, "Ohhh noooo, it's Anakin with his high midichlorian count again."
the chinese loved kungfu panda, they questioned why they weren't able to come up with that. they wouldve made Po perfect, which would've made him hollow.
I haven’t actually watched this new Mulan movie. But in every trailer, picture, promotion and video I’ve seen, mulan looks lifeless, she had no shred of emotion and always has a blank expressionless face. Like not even half a smile. How are we supposed to empathize with that????

It isn't a bad idea to come from for a story, but you have to understand how to write it. And that is the problem, it isn't that the character is powerful it is they don't have understanding on how to write an already powerful character.
@@darththeo Wrong, there is nothing relatable about a character that never has to work for a goal. To write an already powerful character you have to show their struggle on achieving that power and greatness, to jump head long into a story where there is no mortal danger because the character is the strongest or no moral conflicts because she is purity incarnate doesn't makes her superhuman and doesn't allow the audience to connect with the character. When all your dreams just magically come true because you are a women than yea you could write a story about that.
@Alexander Schmidt You're supposed to relate to a protagonist on some level, and they are supposed to somehow grow or change as a person, which is achieved by struggle and self-examination. That's basic storytelling. You can choose not to follow it if you like, but it will ultimately leave you with poorly-written garbage like Mulan 2020...
@@StickyFinguz I am sorry, I don't think you understood me. Let me try again.
There is nothing wrong with a powerful character being powerful at the start, you have to know how to write the character's story. They still need a journey.

Here's a take from an Asian from South East Asia: I've grown up watching evening Chinese historical dramas. It's common here. This movie felt like that. Generic.
Chinese historic drama is so devoid of soul and so stereotypical it should be an example of how not to make movies
Have you ever seen Chinese costume dramas, you just say that Chinese costume dramas are boring? Even in China, there are many categories of costume dramas. There are costume dramas on love that you want to see, including martial arts dramas, fairy tales, official historical dramas, palace fighting dramas, time travel dramas, and many of them are very good to see, because we have many kinds of dramas, many of which are adapted from novels, and because we have complete historical materials and cultural relics, many of our historical dramas have a very high degree of restoration, exquisite production and very good music. Unlike your foreign countries, you always use stereotypes about China to make things related to our culture. It's really frustrating.
I think you'd better go to see a Chinese historical play. It's talking. Do you want me to recommend it to you?
@Lassi Kinnunen are you a $0.25 worker
@@xiaoxiaolee1680 sure, recommend me one
The original Mulan was female empowerment done right. I never, ever had a problem with that movie or the way it portrayed things, because it didn't feel forced and in your face. It wasn't about Mulan being a rebel and going against tradition because it's stupid or whatever, but rather because it was something she felt she had to do. Ironically, even though she pretended to be a male in the animated film, she didn't have to throw away her femininity in the process. Which is so rare nowadays, when every strong female character has to act like a butch lesbian.
That's something feminists today tend to forget. Back when I was a child, there was a crap ton of female empowerment, as well as implied homosexuality of characters. It just wasn't crammed in your face.
That's what I like about OG Mulan.
Even when she managed to match Shang in hand to hand combat, she also know that she's no match again Khan.
Mulan didn't even use brute force to kill him, it was her wits.
That's also something that modern feminist don't get.
This movie is american, so mulan being the hero, reprensents america, an american born in china, saving the world, cuz how else are they gonna save themsleves.
The Witch basically stated that she joined the invading horde because it is here only path to attain power....... And yet, she literally is the most overpowered character besides arguably Mulan in the entire movie.....
Probably, maybe that's why she just decided to off herself near the end of the movie cause she realized what a dumpster fire of a movie she's in
Old: Women in the army??? PFFFT. They lack strength (uses intelligence instead).
New: We and the enemy are fine with women soldiers. Also use chosen one Chi to overcome strength defect.
I was really looking forward to seeing Mulan even though there’re no Mushu and Crickee but they missed tons of things. For the people who are saying it’s inspired by the original ballad blah blah,, but they made a remake, they have to keep the impactful scenes with the original music in the movie.
1. No Shang
2. No grandma
3. No “Decision scene”
4. No dialogue between characters
5. No friendship & strong bond
6. No emotion
7. No impactful scenes
8. No character development
9. No struggle ( you just have to born with a magical superpower then you will achieve anything - which is so unrealistic from realistic movie they are saying)
10. No songs at all- I was ok with it’s not musical but there have to be songs in a movie. Even non-disney movies have songs!
11. Unconnected scenes
12. The most importantly they missed the main message of Mulan.
Actually the most of the actors are capable of doing anything specially the funny soldiers and mulan’s love interest but they had barely lines. Overall I’m really dissapointed.
They added witch, what eh drama 😂
These live action remakes never understand the moral of the origional
I can’t believe they made Mulan ultra talented from childhood. The training was the most inspiring part, showing that anyone could be a warrior (or whatever else) with enough effort, training, and ingenuity. Making her just a badass from birth ruins that.

The nomadic tribes of the north were called the ROURANS around that timepoint in history to which the Ballad of Mulan was traced back to. The ROURANS were the ancestors of the Mongols and the Avars. It is a term by which the Chinese refer to the northern nomadic tribes of that time period, while the word “moron” is an English word with a Greek root, clearly these two words have nothing to do with each other nor are they similar in any meaningful, non-retard way.
It seems like many MORONS don’t understand the basic concept of “different languages”...

@@nielsmichiels1939 Wasn't she supporting the police during the Hong Kong protests? So, she's not just in support for police violence but also the oppression of a city under the tyranny of a fascist government that was proven to be guilty of numerous ongoing human rights violations.
Disney: Funny talking dragons are out because cultural appropriation.
Also Disney: Chi is MAGIC!!!!
Dude!!…Mulan was the one movie growing up I wanted SO BAD to be turned into live action. This was the ONE movie that I would have been completely happy if they did it completely the same as the animated one, shot by shot!! It already had so many things for a perfect live action film.
- Good characters
- Great music
- Emotional, uplifting, and funny moments
- GREAT action scenes
- A good MENACING villain
- Dark moments
- And it already had a good message
(¬_¬) But NOPE!…Disney said new generation, new me.
Meanwhile Aladdin was a shot for shit remake, and it totally should not have been.
This live action Mulan didn’t feel like the Mulan we grew up with, but more like a different movie.
Why do you even want a live action remake anyway. Whats the point? Part of the charm of the original was the amazing animation and artstyle.
BigWig 25 Oh I know that for sure! But as a kid you ask yourself “how would that look like?”
And then later on in life when your much older, you look back and notice that there’s actually potential for a great live action film.
"How many men does it take to deliver a message?"
*slow spreading evil grin* "One, my lord."
The Morons are here!
Me: The writers of the film?
Me: "No the audience."
Just A Man of Culture fair.
Removing historical accuracy to please the sjw /feminists
John Powell oooor, to please a Chinese audience, not everything is an SJW conspiracy.
@@PhoenixNoKiseki it's still sjw shit
Oh my goodness, when you see Alex with his face in his hands instead of AJ or OJ, you know this is going to be hot garbage. I have personally refused to see any of the live action remakes of classic Disney films as they are pointless when the original already still exists and holds up in quality.
Watch the Beauty and the Beast is quite good.
I know I was suprised how mad he got with it ! That mulan make a man out of you is a good song tho I once worked out to it ! Gives you a pump !!!!
but the thing is Disney made books other people made and turned it into films
Since watching Dumbo, I decided to pass on ALL remakes
To be honest, I don't know what Alex and OJ thinks anymore. 99% of the time it's just AJ talking to himself with thing one and thing two nodding in agreement like yes men. Heck even when the rare times they do disagree with Joe, he beats their opinion into submission until their opinion lines up with his. Sometimes I wonder why he bothers to have co-hosts.
When mulan kicked the spear during battle and all the enemies yelled out “witch!” I checked out mentally
Critics give this movie outsanding review though in RottenTomatoes, everyone praising it like Mulan 2020 should win an Oscar lol
They are really scared of Disney overlord
@G Ren calm down keyboard warrior
@G Ren if you dislike angry joe why are you here then?
G Ren no one’s gonna read that, idiot
Afraid to get blacklisted nothing more... Well that and anything with a strong female lead gets great scores despite being absolutely awful.
Charlie's angels, harley quinn movies are just a couple of examples
@Tahmid Antar Oh hell no. Suicide Squad was utter garbage. Both that and the Mulan remake just deserves to die.
