Anything Lindsay Ellis makes deserves a reblog.
see but what I find so compelling about Mulan's character in the 1998 film is that she never knew or even suspected she might have a warrior within. she clearly didn't really fit the mold of an ideal woman in her society, but homegirl was really trying her best. and we see early on in the film that she's resourceful and clever (letting the dog drag around the chicken feed, taking one glance at a chess game and making a smart move), and that's what makes her so successful in battle later on (climbing the pole, the avalanche, the fireworks at the end). she DOES eventually develop physical skill and prowess (y'all BEST not forget when my girl kicked li shang's butt in hand to hand combat!), but "feeling drawn to swords and fighting" or "having strong chi" or whatever isn't even remotely a factor in that initial decision, and I think that makes her a more compelling and powerful character. she doesn't WANT to go become a soldier, it's not a repressed childhood dream or anything; it's just her simply doing what has to be done.
I did, however, like that she takes the gender reveal into her own hands in the 2020 version. that was a nice moment
In the 1998 version, Mulan couldn’t admit she was a girl due to fear of being killed/dishonor on her family. She desperately kept the ruse going until she was caught. And when she was caught, she explained why she did it, even though she was going to be killed anyways, which moved Shang enough to spare her. She didn’t give a shit about being a ‘strong independent woman’, she needed to survive long enough for her family’s sake. I think that makes her a believable and pragmatic character than anything this new movie has blankly shelled out.
why not to waste your money on Mulan (2020)
- send message to Disney to stop with this lazy remake bullshit already and create actual new content
- no Mushu
- no songs
- bisexual icon Li Shang replaced with bland inferior love interest
- lead actress Liu Yifei trashed Hong Kong protesters, specifically supported HK’s brutal police
- Hong Kong activists are asking international supporters to boycott it
- perfect live action Mulan starring Vicki Zhao Wei made in 2009 already exists
- here in Canada they’re asking for thirty five fucking dollars PLUS a Disney+ subscription
- thirty five fucking dollars just to rent it
Edit: this blew up whew but I want to say if you’re on Twitter check out the hashtag #MilkTeaAlliance! It’s a grassroots effort by pro-democracy activists in Thailand, HK, and Taiwan to support each other and they have picked boycotting Mulan as an opportunity to raise awareness and solidarity!
i love this woman and her son and i hope they get all good things in their lives
And then the audience clapped and Einstein gave her 1 mil bucks.
Did y’all really believe this bullshit? How could you be married for someone for at least a decade if you have teen children and not realize he’s homophobic? How do you believe this ridiculous dialogue where the husband got confrontational and, instead of trying to protect his assets in a house he doesn’t own, suddenly just berates his wife as a whore and that he’s been ‘fucking around so it ain’t no thing’ knowing that this would work against him in divorce court? Then with added karma, the mom suddenly realizes she’s bi?
If you actually believed in this karma whoring, I’ve got some beach front property in Arkansas I’d love to sell to you.

Unarmed Black Man With Hands Up Shot By Police.
Charles Kinsey, 47, a behavior therapist from South Florida was shot in the leg three times by the police in North Miami while laying on the ground with his arms up and trying to help his patient with autism who had run away from a group home.
It all started when someone called 911 and said there was a man walking around with a gun. However it was Kinsey’s patient who was sitting on the ground cross-legged, playing with a toy truck.
Charles got shot by police despite telling them he was only trying to help his patient.
The police shot him, handcuffed him and left him on ground bleeding.
North Miami police have not released much information at all. They haven’t released the officer’s name, they haven’t given us an update on the investigation. However, they did say that the state attorney is now a part of this investigation.

“Sir, why did you shoot me?”
“I don’t know.”
“I don’t know’
Ridiculous! I guess that’s what we get for having less training than most jobs.
"I don't know"
Yeah you do.
Me: these boys are sad and precious and must be protected at all costs!
Game:
Me: wait that's illegal oh right they're demon lords from hell
Stop using my sexual orientation to demolish someone’s ship
I am an ace. I don’t feel sexual attraction.
You are not standing up for me (or any other ace) when you tear down someone’s ship because one of the characters is canonically ace.
You are not standing up for me when you assume aces can’t be in romantic relationships.
You are not standing up for me when you assume aces can’t/won’t have sex.
You are not standing up for me when you headcanon a character as ace, but then don’t allow someone else to headcanon that character differently.
These are fictional characters, they don’t have to be some cookie-cutter idea of asexuality.
But more importantly Aces aren’t black and white. We can laugh, and love, (god, can we fall in love) and crave affection and touch. We come in many different flavors, and have a whole spectrum. My asexual orientation isn’t the same as the ace next to me. Therefore an asexual fictional character doesn’t just have to fall under some shallow rule or idea of asexuality.
And when you use Asexuality as a tool to ruin someone else’s fictional ship. You aren’t being an ally, you are being an enemy. You are using our orientation for selfish reasons, and you are spreading hatred, anger, and ignorance.
Preach!
