@Spectrum Well, technically it was the dragon who landed the finishing blow, but yeah, Mulan's kickass. Actually, the animated movie had Mulan setup a finishing blow for someone else, while the live-action movie had someone else setup the finishing blow for Mulan. But for the animated movie it was more urgent, while in the live-action one, it seemed like just a formality.

Yeah Disney obviously doesn’t understand. Taking Mushu, the Cricket, and the grandma out of a movie isn’t going to make it “mature.” It just takes out the joy and the fun. Same thing with taking out Shang and the songs. Takes out what made the og so great

@Spectrum plus, said "dumb baby movie" had no songs after that moment sunk as shit got real

Sure, it was Mushu who pulled the trigger, but Mulan 'loaded the gun' so to speak, as it was her planning which resulted in Shan's death

What kills me is that Mulan found a girl worth fighting for... the little girl in the village. And of course they don’t include that ...

THIS IS SUCH AN UNDERRATED COMMENT LMAO

Did they write a good script, when I asked for mud?

To be hip and woke, you gotta be as OP as a joke, even if it makes you bland and uncool! Yes ma'am, I will make you, a Mary Sue!

This comments cleared acne.

@Ya Like Jazz? So a kids' animated film did a better than this "mature live action remake?" Actually that's not surprising as hints of Kung Fu Panda having a good grasp of chi and Chinese martial arts was in the first film. Showing that Kung Fu Panda's tea did there research unlike these nimrods!!!!

And thats saying a LOT

let that sink in

@@DemonicRemption It kind of makes sense. Jack Black has been quite vocal about his interests in how rad Chinese martial arts is.

@prickly pear 3 is the worst one, but it is a really good movie. Kung Fu Panda 2 is one of my favorite movies, together with Back to the Future, Infinity War and some more.

We don't even need a "grown up" version of things. Because even when you're an adult, you can still watch stuff like Spongebob and Good Burger. Just because you're an adult, doesn't mean you have to like adult things and nothing else. If anything, I tend to move away from darker, more adult material, and go towards light, campy schlock. Because that's who I am.

@@jeremyusreevu237 And aside from that, being brooding and dark isn't always more adult. Like nobody is gonna defend Batman v Superman because it's a "more adult superhero movie."

@@metademetra Exactly, the original Mulan is a animated kids movie, but it has extremely adult messages that can be appreciated when you looked back on it many years later (Like how it actually does feminism properly). Also, it's DARK at times, like an entire village being wiped out and everyone is hinted to be brutally massacred (including children), or Mulan being abandoned right after she saved everyone just because she's female.

@@jeremyusreevu237 Same :)

I like how here people are talking and agreeing, other then arguing and telling each that they are wrong because they have a different opinion.

Original Mulan: "Hey little girl, you can be as strong if not stronger as a man if you.... Work hard for it and not let everything be handed into your hands"

Coconut Weeb are you implying female characters need to earn all their abilities? You blasphemer! (Hard work trumps magic)

@@misterlanious7214 wait tell me this is satire I can't tell

It's satire

Yeah imo out of all of these the Aladdin one was by far the best but not in the terms of that its actually good

Aladdin had very impressive dance numbers and will smith, when allowed to be laid back and charming, was a blast.

Agreed

I think Jungle Book (2016) was really solid. The characters were charismatic and memorable, It looked spectacular, it employed authentic Indian actors, and it changed enough from the 60s version to feel fresh. I think the fact that the original was so many decades ago helps a lot too. There is less nostalgic attachment to the cartoon, and people remember it less vividly than something that came about barely 20 years ago like Mulan.

Ngl, I think Cinderella was the first solid live-action movie. Done well despite not being a musical

Exactly

By throwing away her father's armor she has brought dishonor on herself and her cow.

Did none of them go to a world history class? I'm still learning world history and even I know this. This shit is embarrassing.

Yeah, in the original, saving China was simply a result of Mulan protecting her family, here it seems like she's just doing it to save china.

Ironically, many villain said that love weaken them.

Seriously if you do it right the romantic sub plot can be really engaging like in avatar the last air bender. Didn't make ang weaker at all.

Ysh and the whole Sheng/Mulan thing didn't even START til the very end of the movie

And they didn't even not give her a love interest they just gave her a lamer one and erased bi icon Shang I'm gonna scream

True

I couldn't have summed it up better my self man

Agreed. Mary sues are always so bland for some reason.

Yes, Cara Dune and Ahsoka Tano are great examples of good strong female characters. Whereas all the characters in the new trilogy basically have no character.

I know I'm a clown for defending Rey but goddamnit I was so disappointed about her character arc because there was potential in there from The Force Awakens! They could've actually done something with it, she had a personality and the they???? Didn't??? They just trashed her man it's honestly just sad to see

For the 106th time, atla sets the example.

That’s awful, I never thought of it that way. It’s extremely selfish to her father as well. She’s so worried about honor yet she throws out her fathers armour from his time in the war. So disrespectful. Can you imagine if someone did the equivalent here in modern day America and like, threw out a veterans war medals of belongings? (I make the comparison because I am American, and not as knowledgeable in Chinese culture, but I feel like it would be just as disrespectful) Especially if the person who threw it out was the persons kid. Like, “Hey dad, remember that time you fought in the war and risked your life, and how it was a large part of your life? Well I threw off your armour and smeared it in the dirt. The armour that you *specifically* took care of all this time”

Eh... It was man armor... It was like... Wearing patriarchy

@@wolveraspeaks eh no Is like calling a bulletproof chest pratriarchy because It was Made by men and also there has never been woman armor Its just the same as a man's one

@@LunaTheCommenter With how armor works on others in this movie, I doubt it was ever protecting her. But yeah, it angers me when armor doesnt work properly in movies. Somehow, swords can just cut plate in movies??

Tophs whole story was about using earthbending as an extension of herself, and as a way to interact with the world. Azula was a prodigy who practiced relentlessly. Their overpowered statuses are totally earned, AND enhance their character arcs and personality

Oh, and let us not forget the most important thing... They had PERSONALITY! Mulan is just bland.

@@maybeeton Even MAI had more personality lol

ATLA is an astute example of brilliant writing and certainly outshines the majority of recent Disney films. Which brings up a problem that often results in these remakes: people don't appreciate animation. They think of it as something for children when in reality many if not all animated movies and TV shows are far superior to their live-action counterparts in writing and character and plot development. Every one of these remakes is an empty shell of the original removing or altering what made the animated version amazing. Anything they add just makes it worse. These remakes are pointless, disgraceful money-grabs that have no reason to exist. And truthfully this movie had quite a lot of potential because they could do more than mirror their original movie and create something different. They could start fresh and ignore the original animate movie and base it primarily on the original ballad while adding something new. Creating new characters! They could have hired actual chinese people to write this movie! But, no.

Azula was also an interesting example on how her prodigy status gave her immense pressure to live up to, only for her to drive away those close to her.

honestly a lot of the "shes good at fighting when shes young" criticisms could have been quelled if they had a scene that showed her father training her when she was young

I feel like Disney nowadays is terrible at writing live-action female main characters. Their animated female main characters are always great, like Judy Hopps, Moana and several others, but Rey, Captain Marvel and 2020 Mulan are just Mary Sues.

The original tale also has her literally be a normal woman who took her father's place. The Mulan chosen one thing is bad to the historical history too.

Even the original ballad is about her being a NORMAL WOMAN who joins the army to save her father. This is what I mean when I say a character is a Mary Sue,them being perfect or having some magic power that makes them better than anyone else. Doesn't anyone realize that other women can't relate? Like no I wasn't born perfect,if I joined the army I would have to train for years to be at the same level as everybody else

@@cintronproductions9430 I don't get the Captain Marvel complaint at all. Carol Danvers randomly got her powers from the Tesseract, just like how Peter Parker got randomly be by a mutant spider. Or how Bruce Banner was accidently shot up with radiation. Or how Kamela Khan and other new Inhuman characters got exposed to Terrigan Mist.

I find it weird that this was the same director who made Whale Rider which was praised for being close to Maori customs while this Mulan has issues that can be, arguably, easier to research with a simple google search

I really don't mind that some films that take place in historical settings choose to deviate from historical accuracy for visual aesthetics, at least when it's something as minor as clothing, but I agree with your whole point. They clearly weren't as interested in being closer to the original legend as they claimed to be.

@@Angie-ji7be yeah, the clothing was the most minor of the issues I had. On its own I wouldn't have had a problem with it, but with all the other issues it was kind of the nail in the coffin for me.

And added a witch character even though they're not a thing in Chinese folklore.

@@Vristatos789 I've heard that the discrepancies may have been due to studio interference instead of director intent.

Her personality is being overpowered (and HONOR!)

@@billuraral1870 She reminds me of Jiren from Dragon Ball Super, just because both of their personalities are that they’re strong: Q: “What do you like?” A: “Strong.” Q: “What do you want in life?” A: “Strong.” Q: “How did you form bonds with your comrades?” A: “Strong.” Of course, this isn’t an exact 1-1, but I find it’s close enough.

A concentration camp the actress playing Mulan apparently supports.

With the main actress that can't act emotions and supports police brutality... Yayyyy

And the actress is communist and anti Hong Kong, as she glorifies civil unrest. Ironic she plays a woman who is the opposite of that.

@@krunchykat9249 As bad as that is, you shouldn't use actors' opinions to judge a movie.

And to top it all off - they were apparently fine with shooting near a concentration camp and making Mulan a reverse feminist, but couldn't bring themselves to make Artemis Fowl the villain in his own movie. I know - weird priorities, but so has Disney.

Not a hard accomplishment when a kick to the crotch is more pleasant then this movie. However, her synopsis is indeed very entertaining.

Always has been. The plot to "Strange Magic" was never better than when 'twas told through Celly's sock puppet theater.

You might think that supporting a terrible status quo is a bad thing, but that's just China. Can't have you speaking out against the CCP, or it's off to the camps with you.

Phoenix is the empress symbol in China from what I heard.

@@creaturetransylvania8943 There is a Phoenix in Chinese mythology, known as the fenghuang But the fenghuang is different, as this is the phoenix that doesn't revolve around rebirth, which is why the Phoenix seemed really out of place in the movie, seeing as Disney could've used the fenghuang instead.

@@TheVoidofemptiness Knowing Disney probably not since,they don't even got the armor right.

@@jeremyusreevu237 Pain strengthens your character, but only if it has a point. Making a mistake is painful, but you learn from it and become better to avoid repeating it. Adversity fosters growth. Pain and misery for the sake of pain and misery itself has no point. If there's no compelling reason for anything to happen, there's nothing to learn and no room to grow. This is why Grimdark is a tossup where LOTS of stories in that genre end up being trash--it's shock value and misery porn for the sake of itself because it will be seen as "so mature" and "so dark", but it's all surface level, there is no greater point to be made.

There's a difference between a mature animation and a cartoonish live action movie.

I would t call courage the cowardly dog mature. It sure is dark though

I know! Balance between darkness and comedy is important, if there is too much of one, it makes things so much worse!

The audience they care most about now is China, and since China hated it, they might at least learn about cultural sensitivity.

That or COVID. Or they will think it is because they haven't kowtowed to the Chinese government hard enough.

Most likely they will blame covid 19

I think the take-away here will likely be "At home streaming service releases aren't the future, all those stupid millennials were wrong, let's go back to the old ways" Which is sad because I'd like to think this movie would have flopped just as badly if it had a theater release.

FINALLY THE TRUTH COMES OUT.

Removing the hair-cutting scene is the only change that makes sense. In traditional Chinese cultures, cutting your hair is considered disrespectful to your parents. That said, they could have replaced that scene with something equally dramatic, but they clearly didn't.

I think it's the camera they're using plus the props and lighting. It feels like Disney Channel movie at some times.

I know right! I swear some sets look like they're mad out plastic I've seen playgrounds at McDonald's that look more expensive

I don't see why so many people haven't realised, if you wanna see some authentic chinese cimema, watch some goddang chinese movies. It baffles me that people expected this to be made with any care.

I wouldn’t say the writers being white is inherently an issue, there are plenty of perfectly knowledgable white people who can easily represent a culture very well. Just look at Avatar the last airbender for instance. The problem is that none of the writers has a clue what they were doing or what made the original Mulan so beloved.

Silvereyes 24 ATLA was not trying to represent a specific Asian culture, it was making an entirely new culture using real-world ones as a springboard. But if you're TRYING to authentically and respectfully represent a very specific real-world culture in your movie that costs literal millions to make, then WHY IN THE NAME OF EVERY POSSIBLE GOD WOULD YOU NOT HIRE SOMEONE FROM THAT CULTURE TO WRITE THE FUCKING SCRIPT

Comparing a movie to a company makes as much sense as comparing a carrot to a blender.

Actually, just a heads up: the person who made the KZfaq channel is non-binary!

@@blazer3756 That's not really what they were going for. The extra padding was to bulk up the rest of her chest so her boobs wouldn't stand out--and her profile would look more masculine since on average men have more upper body mass than woman and you wouldn't want to join the army looking scrawny and weak. If anything it DIScourages having breasts because it makes it harder to hide your femininity, though I suppose this particular movie gets a pass since she needs to hide the fact she's impersonating her father...until she's not. No, the REAL reason this is really fucking stupid is because cloth armor is an actual real thing and was very effective on the battlefield since it's good at absorbing shock and very cut resistant when made properly, but also very lightweight and cheap, so anyone could afford it. It also compliments plate armor as an extra layer of protection, as you can just fix the plates onto the cloth and have a very tough, very form-fitting protection. So she takes this armor--which any soldier should be wearing--which just saved her life, and tosses it out cuz she's a hipster who doesn't need no man-armor. The real moral is "Don't let no man influence what you do, even if they are employing common sense in an extremely dangerous profession. You don't need so safety gear because you're a queen."

Do we know if it's actually crashing and burning? Yeah it's doing terrible in the box office but that's because no one wants to go the theaters right now. From what I gather, almost every streaming platform is pretty secretive of it's viewership numbers so we don't know if it's a success or not. Regardless, that 30$+ cost certainly isn't helping.

@@grantmoore8228 considering its basicly the most hated of the live action remakes by far. and any and all reviews of it by this point are negative reviews that says something

I mean rn its only made like a fifth of its budget so its flopping HAAARD

@@liaminator4950 thankfully in this case, Disney and Hollywood at large seem incapable of accepting the idea that bad movies can simply happen and instead blame external issues. Hopefully this movie or even the next one doesn't make as much money as they hoped for and will just raise their hands in the air and go "oh well, guess no one's interested in live action remakes anymore..."

Grant Moore - If there’s any big lots of money it’ll be from the merch and that’s only if it looks nice.

Isn’t that what James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad is?

Imagine that 20 years from now they make an animated remake of the live Aladdin with no experience with the original

@@me30000 And it still turns out better.

They probably will

Snyder cut lion king when?

Jedelsa

It feels like they did all their research on anime message boards with neckbeard otaku who couldnt tell the difference between Japan and China.

Ninetails2000 yeah, basically, some spokesperson was like, “hey, they have this chi thing, could we put this in the movie to be more culturally accurate?” And some guy who only watched early 2000s Shonen was like “yes, I know all about how chi works, it’s basically chakra from naruto and ki from dragonball! You use it like the force!” And then they got rich off this steaming pile of crap.

hater

@@changsiah2 How so?

Forward or Jump About that... The movie flopped in China and here in the US.

Hollywood made this movie to please their CCP overlords, the PRC population thinks this is a load of crap.

They lost me when they said they want to be more realistic but added a witch and a phoenix.

One does not simply make people like a movie more by taking Eddie Murphy out of it...

That alone was enough to make me not excited for this movie.

hater

when they said there will be no Mushu or songs I knew it was gonna be one of *those* movies.

Insanely bad. An insult to the Source Material is not even 10% of the Problem? Oh, wow. Thats a feat. But Plot Holes, Fake-Feminism, Plot Holes and much more also??? Wow!

Remember kids: If you use armor or any defensive strategy or even strategy at all, you're a bad person. It's neither feminine nor manly to use Armor or Strategy or anything. The only thing manly and feminine is Buckets of Water. That and Monster Trucks. YEAH! Seriously: All this reminds of 'The Last Airbender', that disaster. Why the heck do some people still cling to Netflix? Dont they know just how many people need to Greenlight something so it gets made and then airs and then stays?!? A LOT, is the Answer.

@@slevinchannel7589 why do you keep spamming this comment?

"I shall fight the avatar MYSELF!" "..what?"

The Pitch Meeting vibes from it, just *chef's kiss*

And Hookers! You know what? Forget starting a new country!

@Socialist Sylveon Only if we get some bear hookers beside them.

Yikes!

Disney didn’t abuse anyone because they filmed a movie in the same province (Chinese provinces are sizes of European counties). I don’t like China and would not go there for even a vacation currently (in case there was no corona) since I would feel I was normalizing the sitsuation. But it’s not support to go to country and do business there nevertheless. I am sure we have all bought things made in China that are as problematic as filming a movie there.

Sara Samaletdin sure we may have bought stuff that has supported China, but that doesn’t mean we should keep doing it. Now that concentration camps are more and more blatantly exposed, we should be fazing out such support

Weird dig but the animation for the rabbits looked really floppy ??? Like they _looked_ hella fake ...

All chinese actors talk well about the police cause ya know, if they go agains them. They will kill their family in China, cause that is what the government in China does

What do the main actress' personal thoughts have to do with all of this though?

@@marianov3977 idk heard it around so I just put it there

@@marianov3977 the Hong Kong police are like the states's but a lot worse. the people of Hong Kong have been fighting for freedom for a while now and a big name endorsing the police is like, really not cool

I hope they don't reboot Hercules

@@thejaycrewsshow9827 honestly I'd be interested to see that as long as it's animated

@@thejaycrewsshow9827 Good news! Emma Watson will be playing the character of "Hercules" in the movie "Hercules." I heard that Michael Cera also applied for the character but he wasn't popular enough to get the part.

Monica Enns pretty sure the line was something like “aww man it’s not even enough for the bus fare”

"Sounds like someone wants to get . . . funky." Scott Pilgrim is also probably the only good live-action anime.
