there are two genders: daughter and warrior

All these reboots Disney keeps doing to make their films "more Feminist" just seem to make them more sexist instead

The witch actually killed herself because the movie was so bad, she was like "i cannot do this anymore just let me die"

My favorite part about the original was the ending. Mulan joined the army not because she wanted to fight, but because she wanted her father to live. She went home to be with him, and he was just happy to see her. Her love interest followed her home and introduced himself politely to her family. I loved that he did that, because Mulan never said she didn’t want love and marriage, and this way she gets it from someone who sees her as a true intellectual AND physical equal. The point was never to dismantle society, or as this movie seems to think, to become a man. The point was to have the choice of how to live your life, both within and outside of convention.

"no songs because people don't actually sing in battle*
Mulan taking off her armor and letting her hair loose in the middle of the freaking battle for AeStHeTiCs

"that is some white person tattoo nonsense"
this movie in a nutshell

Just a reminder: Disney spent THREE YEARS studying "the physics of curly hair" for brave.

This channel is the equivalent of the story of Wu Zetian becoming the first empress of China. She got pissed. She showed how pissed she was. She rose to power.

"How fast is her horse"? Clearly the horse was true to itself and connected to its chi.

They turned Mulan into a generic Western "Chosen One" story.

I love how she says "That's not how women are demonized in chinese culture" at 02:50, like, the demonization of women is so common in basically every culture that one has to specify how they really are demonized in each culture xd

The witch being a bird spirit, and Mulan being accused of being a fox spirit would even give the witch more of a reason to empathize with Mulan!

The real hero of this story is Mulan's horse. It outran a whole avalanche and carries her everywhere she needs to go.

"How fast is Mulan's horse?"
clearly, the horse cultivates his chi

"And don't tell me a woman can't be emperor. Wu Zetian did it. She'd be laughing at you from Chinese hell."
This brought me many serotonins thank you

"Mulan passes out for a bit, wakes up, stares at the FBI motto on her sword, and decides to take off her armor" this is the funniest thing I've heard all day damn

The biggest female empowerment this movie could achieve was making Xiran so mad about it they made a whole ass channel and a great critique because of how bad the movie is
16K |
yeah I'm gonna say it, making 2 female characters "stronger" than every man in the film by giving them superpowers isn't making a strong woman, it's weak, it says they're not capable of even being equal to men without a large advantage.

I will NEVER stop rewatching Xiran absolutely MERCILESSLY destroying this excuse of a movie.

Edit: I still constantly get white people in the comments acting like I personally desecrated their ancestors' graves for calling out this movie for having a majority white production staff, and I have to say that I was so angry because Disney SPECIFICALLY bragged about how "authentic and accurate" this movie was gonna be and acted like they were doing Chinese people a huge favor, only to come out with THIS. I'd have the same reaction if they employed a majority of any other non-Chinese people to make this movie while claiming that, but let's not act like Hollywood doesn't inherently favor white creators, lol. asdjf;slak y'all really liked this video, huh I want to make more about Chinese history and culture and stuff but with my current computer it took...20+ hours...to edit and render this video. I put a Ko-Fi link in the description, please consider supporting me if you wanna see this channel become an actual thing! <3
