What's up with the thumbnail though? Why be misleading for views?

I hate when the thumbnail isn't in the video

This was already done by Jon solo on his channel before this and this channel's people even made a copy of the same video and posted on a different channel called "Screen Rant" which is owned by the same people.

Bruh, they out here straight up copying Jon Solo.

So as a Chinese student, I had to recite and study Mulanas ballad in order to take the exams, so I'm quite familiar with the story. I'll try my best to tell the tale. It's a song/poem originally, so it not the most accurate. The sounds of Mulan working loom echoed in the room. The sound stopped, everything was silent, and her sigh was heard. They (her family) asked was on her mind, why she was sighing. (She replied) the war scrolls I saw last night, twelve of them, every one had father's name. Father doesn't have an elder son, I don't have an elder brother. I am willing to gallop on a horse, to replace father's place in the army. Buying a fine horse in the East Market, buying a saddle in the West Market. Buying a rope?(idk horse riding) in the South Market, buying a whip? in the North Market. I leave mother and father in the morning and rest for the night beside the yellow river. I don't hear my parents calling for me, but the sound the river streaming. I leave the yellow river in the morning, and rest for the night at the black mountain (they say it's the yanshan, idk). I don't hear my parents calling for me, but the sound of galloping horses. I have walked millions of miles doing army work, crossed mountains at the speed of flying. The cold winds from the north are making sounds in the silent night, the cold moonlight is shinning on my metal armour. Hundreds of warriors who have fought in the war are dead, after ten years of battling, the strong men are returning. The warriors return the meet the emperor, who is sitting on the throne. The rewards given will be accorded to the effort you made, the rewards can be abundant. They ask her what she wants, “I do not wish to become an advisor, 8 wish to borrow a strong and wise camel, to bring me back home” The old couple hear of their daughter's return, they hold onto each other (hinting that they're old) and walk towards to city gates. The elder sister hear of her younger sister's return, and she puts makeup on. The younger brother hear of her elder sister's return, and he prepares a fine meal with pork and lamb (So the original wording is kinda hilarious. He sharpens knives together, by rubbing them together, and points them towards pigs and sheep. This hints that Mulan returning home is a big deal. Obviously meat was rare and expensive back the day, and the old shouldn't move too much. Can't explain why her sister's putting on makeup though. Apparently it's for the same reason but I don't get it. I'm rambling at this point, let's continue). I open my eastern door, and sit on my west bed. I take off my war time clothes and put on my old clothes. I face the window to fix my hair and face the mirror (metal pan or something) to stick on a yellow flower (? I cannot find a translation so I put it through Google Translate. It's basically a type of decoration ancient Chinese women used to use. Some say it's a golden yellow piece of paper, some say it's yellow paint). I walk out to see my warrior friends, they look at me in shock. “Working together for 12 years, one had no idea Mulan is a woman!” The feet of a male rabbit are scratching, the eyes of a female rabbit are enchanting. When two are side by side, who can tell if I'm a man or a woman? SO TIRED FROM TRANSLATING. SOMEONE PLEASE NOTICE ME!

It’s a bit frustrating when people act like a woman shouldn't fall in love because “it’s better when she doesn’t need a man.” Most people fall in love and that doesn’t make them weak or less than.

To everyone reading this video was stolen from Jon solo a guy who does better origins stories go check out the other video from his channel.

3:31 Sheesh, I really don't get what's with all the hate against having romantic sub-plots in stories. Having the main character fall in love gives more emotion to the story and gives him/her more motivation to keep going and accomplish their goals.

Don't use fake pics in the thumb nail

Mulan did existed. Her name was Ha Mulan, and in some museums in China you can find documents and even objects that prove she lived.

Mulan did the romance sub-plot very nicely. It wasn't the focus because she was in it for her father but she captured Shang's attention by simply being herself and the end is left open-ended with Mulan inviting a flustered Shang to dinner. It was cute because you get to see a glimpse of a shy, awkward Shang, when he's normally professional and composed. You're reminded how young he still is. I would like a combination of the Disney and ancient version where Shang and eventually other comrades find out she's a woman but keep it secret from enemies then she goes to war dressed as a female.

Being a female in the army WAS illegal, making the Disney movie somehow more realistic.

4 million views and you still haven't cited your sources? AKA ME? Appreciate ya, thieves.

Ok but why the disturbing picture in the thumbnail if you're not gonna talk about it in the video? Thanks for wasting 6 minutes of my life~

Some big channel copying Jon Solo, a smaller channel.

I studied a few other versions of Mulan's legend. One of those versions mentioned that Mulan was originally just a regular woman who did ordinary things that women during ancient times like needle work and other stuff. There was no mention of her martial prowess before she joined the army. In that version, her family allowed her to take her father's place in the army. It's a bit interesting to note that while she kept her identity as a woman a secret, her family was more worried about her chastity than... Well, almost anything else (this is understandable considering that a woman's chastity was seen as something more important than their lives). She had a little over a decade of military service. Due to her outstanding military contributions she was awarded a position in court but she rejected the offer. She went home, revealed to her comrades that she was a woman, and then married her neighbor/ childhood sweetheart. Other versions have roughly the same setting except that the person who married her would change depending on which version it is. Some versions omit her life after returning home altogether. The oldest known version of her tale didn't even say much about her life and only briefly mentioned her outstanding military merits.

Roses are red, Violets are blue, I came for the thumbnail, And so did you

I'm sick of hearing love story complaints. There's nothing wrong with a woman being in love with a man in a story and that being some kind of motivation. And the same's true in the reverse. Love is love and a love story is a great thing to be celebrated.

"If you watched the Disney movie based on Mulan, you probably know that she fell in love with the army captain." Oh, girl, who didn't?

“We perfer the story where she doesn’t have man”......Oh god here we go again!!

Its ok to be married too. Even if you aren't, other people can be, and it dosnt mean they are somehow less brave, adventurous, strong, or confident.

Please dont use fake picture to bait us watching we put dislike ..

YO STOP CUTTING TO THAT GIRL READING A BOOK ON THE SOFA EVERY TIME Y'ALL SAY "BUT IN OTHER VERSIONS OF THE STORY"

Kudos to the Jon Solo Squad for calling these guys out!

You straight up RIPPED OFF my video with the SAME TITLE and similar thumbnail! WTF?!

I must have watched a different version of Disney's Mulan. That version didn't need a man either. And honestly I am so sick of hearing this notion of "I don't need a man". Please by all means, neither gender "needs" each other. But if we were to ignore the opposite sex completely then we would cease to exist after a hundred years. For fucks sake, falling in love is not a character flaw.

Who’s here watching in 2019 after watching the Live Action Trailer Hahahaha

You guys literally copied Jon Solo’s video!!

"No one in her heart" so now we live in a world where being in love makes you less strong and independent, because being independent means being unable to love ok🤔 and yes she doesn't need prince to save her because Shang was not even a prince and SHE actually saved him twice .It was a mutual connection between two equally strong and special people nothing wrong with that

So what the fuck was the picture on the thumbnail

Mulan is the best warrior ever

They actually copied Jon solo check out his channel Jon solo

Mulan never got married but when she was offered to be promoted she decided to go home instead. If she ever admitted that she was a woman in front of the emperor she would have been killed for lying to the emperor for being a man.

Some corrections about this video 1. Milan was weaving instead of washing clothes ( according to Mulan's family's society level, she does need to do this , but every girl need to know how to do sewing and weaving as one of the basic skill for woman at that time ) 2. Women does not allow to go to the war at that time ( in fact , girls from a family cannot step out of the home normally , women kept as a thing around That dynasty ) 3. It does not have love story through the whole story 4. Milan had gone to battle field for many yrs instead of twelve yrs, the twelve in ancient Chinese scrolls means many instead of twelve 5. No one knows Mulan is a girl until she backed to home 6. Mulan dies have brother, but only a younger brother 7. This is original scroll in Chinese and every student need to remember it during the junior high in modern China : 木兰辞 唧唧复唧唧，木兰当户织。不闻机杼声，唯闻女叹息，问女何所思？问女何所忆？女亦无所思，女亦无所忆。昨夜见军帖，可汗大点兵，军书十二卷，卷卷有爷名。阿爷无大儿，木兰无长兄，愿为市鞍马，从此替爷征。 东市买骏马，西市买鞍鞯，南市买辔头，北市买长鞭。旦辞爷娘去，暮宿黄河边，不闻爷娘唤女声，但闻黄河流水鸣溅溅。旦辞黄河去，暮至黑山头，不闻爷娘唤女声，但闻燕山胡骑鸣啾啾。 万里赴戎机，关山度若飞。朔气传金柝，寒光照铁衣。将军百战死，壮士十年归。 归来见天子，天子坐明堂。策勋十二转，赏赐百千强。可汗问所欲，木兰不用尚书郎，愿借明驼千里足，送儿还故乡。 爷娘闻女来，出郭相扶将；阿姊闻妹来，当户理红妆；小弟闻姊来，磨刀霍霍向猪羊。开我东阁门，坐我西阁床。脱我战时袍，著我旧时裳。当窗理云鬓，对镜贴花黄。出门看火伴，火伴皆惊惶。同行十二年，不知木兰是女郎。 雄免脚扑朔，雌兔眼迷离。双兔傍地走，安能辨我是雄雌？ I still remember it was a nightmare to remember this scrolls , we literally need to remember every single words and punctuations and write it done by memory and also write out the translation in modern Chinese 😂

3:36 Falling in love isn't "needing a man". It is falling in love. But to a feminist obviously a woman marrying a man is haram.

I think we need a remake of this story. A remake where the soldiers respect her as they find out she's a woman.

I prefer the tale not told by you.

I just got clickbaited and so did u

Just here to complain about the deceptive thumbnail. Someone should flag this.

MULAN WAS NOT ETNIC HAN CHINESE. She was from the nomadic mongolic toba tribe which conquered North China and established Wei dinasty. Eventually these nomadic people were assimilated along chinese but tale about nomadic girl Mulan left.

"...we prefer the version without anyone in her heart...you don't need a prince to be a princess..." I stopped the video at this point. First off, this remarks implies that those in a relationship are not as 'strong' or as 'independent' as someone who isn't in a relationship. Secondly, each of us possess masculine and feminine aspects within ourselves. The tale of fa Mulan and her relationship between fa Mulan and her lover can be interpreted as the feminine and masculine energies becoming one with each other. In fact, a lot of these mythical tales could be interpreted as reflections of the human psyche.

What the fuck was that picture though

I actually like the original story.

We all should learn the whole Ballad of Mulan by hearts in junior high in China, BUT not before we saw the Disney movie as a kid hahaha

How is that messed up? and how does that thumbnail have anything to do with the video?

"You dont need a prince to be a princess." I know you were trying to be edgy but mulan was NEVER a princess. Or ever considered one.

3:43 “You don’t need a Prince to be a Disney Princess." I love that line💕

What's with that creepy thumbnail?

Yeah I got clickbaited 😒

Roses are red Violets are blue Plagiarism for you is not new

This video was interesting, but they left out some of the actually messed up parts of the original stories, like the fact that in at least one iteration of the tale, Mulan had her feet bound to make them smaller and was really disappointed when she had to unbind them to go to war.

Here after watching the 2020 film trailer

So why do you put stupid picture for opening ?

The origin isn't even that messed up.

Mulan: My man is mahself! Shang: Wait wut? ._.

I came here. Because of the thumbnail...... ;-;..... But it is interesting

ok but why was that "real" photo in the thumbnail

Weird how they named Mulan’s horse after an army out to destroy China🤨

The real ending is after her father died her mother remarried and Mulan was forced to be a concubine to the king of China two years later she became good friends with the queen of China but one day Mulan killed herself

Fell in love with a man named JINYOUNG? PARK JINYOUNG?

Just what is so "messed up" about this origin story?

You forgot the ending in which the emporer was so impressed with mulan, that he wanted her to be his concubine (basically a sex slave), so instead of meeting this fate, mulan killed herself. Also, there's nothing wrong with mulan wanting to be married. It doesnt mean that she NEEDS a man, just that she WANTS one. Really getting sick of the whole, "you don't need a man" narrative, and making it out to be oh such a bad thing if the character DOES want to get married. You can be strong and independent while also falling in love. What's so bad about that?

My gosh the pic scare me 🤦🏼‍♀️ plzz don’t mess the pic🙏🏻

You've been on my recommendations for the past 6 months. You happy now?

I still love the Disney version but the original tale/story is much more complex and I enjoyed listening to it.

Click bated

SHE IS NOT A PRINCESS

Judging from what I've seen of the live action version, it seems to follow the older versions rather than the 1990s Disney version. Hopefully there's a bit of both still in it.

I know that in one version Mulan is forced to become a concubine for the Emperor after the war, and she took her own life.

I wanted to know about the photo on the thumbnail. Why do you guys do that? I hate that...waiting to hear about what's on the thumbnail, but never do! That gets me so upset!

I love Mulan. I also love the beautiful China and how colorful it is. Mulan 2 was good rlly ppl

The original poem was short and simple. Mulan heard the news about her father was called to be soldier, her father was old and her brother was little, so she decided to replace her father's position. After the long battle and overcome all the hardships, many people died in the war, luckily Mulan was alive and had been praised by the emperor, Mulan rejected all the reward, she simply wished to be home. After she changed into her old custom and embrace her old family, her military allies were shock to find out she was a woman. The story was a anti-war story, the storyteller was confessed the truth as the war influenced everyone in the country. It's interesting how Disney transformed into a beautiful story. In China many researcher have different opinions about what age what place the story took place in reality. There is an saying that it did had women joined the army, and the story was written for them, not for a typical person.

I'm more interested in the historical facts than cartoons. Unless I'm depressed. That's when I like cartoons!

I never knew they had a book about mulan?

Most of the elements of the original Chinese tale I like... and it makes sense. It even proves that women were not merely creatures with no other purpose than making babies and if proved capable could rise high in society. The narrator's comments however, of how we'd ALL rather see Mulan alone and without a man is a ridiculous comment from a VERY extreme feminist (possibly even lesbian) view and one which CLEARLY from the Chinese tales, Mulan herself would NOT have shared. SHE (the narrator) may have loved seeing Mulan alone loving only her father, but I liked her finding a husband SHE liked, who saw her as an equal and having a family. The second less happy ending of the Chinese versions proves this and speaks volumes. It's also the most likely outcome of Mulan not finding love and marrying. Spending years wasting her life fighting (a view shared by many disillusioned male glory hunters as well) Mulan comes home to find her beloved father dead. She's probably not the most desired match for a wife by now because of age, battle scars, etc and she has ptsd's. She ends up alone, childless and mentally damaged. Only Susan B. Anthony (and others like her) would have seen that as a acceptable price for Mulan to pay. Finally, Mulan was NOT a princess in either the Disney version or any of the original Chinese versions. So the notion of Mulan not needing a man to be a Disney "Princess" is silly.

I’m from China and I like happy endings more than sad endings so I like the Disney movie better

Wait, then who is the creepy girl in the thumbnail?

I wonder how she (secretly) dealt with her menstrual.

I like the old version of the story more. sounds more realsitic and inspiring. But the Disney version is also well made

You forgot the other version where when the emperor found out about her and he wanted her as his concubine but she decided to kill herself to avoid that fate.

This video was stolen from Jon Solo!!!! This is NOT your video! Please either cite your sources or stop stealing from other KZfaqrs!!! Like for people to see this.

"We think that the Disney movie would have been more inspiring if the soldiers didn't care about Mulan's gender, but only cared about how good she was." And remove the sole conflict of the story? Stick to being an aggregate and leave the writing to the writers.

I don't know why none of you are upset by the fact that the things basically plagiarized this video because Jon Solo made a video EXACTLY LIKE THIS ONE two weeks BEFORE the things made their own. The things need to stop this plagiarism for crying out loud. I don't know why this channel even gets any views.

The original Mulan story is recorded in as a legend poem. In the story, it just mentions ‘ She left the family in a morning ‘ but never says whether her family knew or supported her decision before she left home or not. My own point is they did not know before her leave. Because if Mulan is found out to be a girl, the whole family, but not just Mulan herself, will be put into the prison. Mulan doesn’t want her elderly dad to go to war, but why will her parents take a risk with the life of the whole family? (In the original story, she has a married sister and a very little brother as well. Once people find she is a girl, all those people may die.) what’s more, after her leave in the morning, she arrives the yellow river in the afternoon. The poem has a description like this: ’ her parents are calling her but she can never hear it now. ‘ ‘ Calling ‘ is not the reaction if her parents have already known her decision. If her parents know where she goes, they will be missing her instead of calling her. People later can have their own ideas about the part that Mulan left the family secretly or with the support of the whole family, since the original story doesn’t make it very clear, but it should not be a point to be judged. Mulan loves her dad so much so her family must give her a lot of joy and love as well. We should not think her parents send her to war on purpose.

Heads up, nothing about this origin is messed up except for maybe the VERY end.

Love the fake advertising

So practically what I learned from watching this video is that your thumbnail is fake, and looks really disturbing making us viewers feel like we got clickbaited.

The thumbnail just creeps me out

u just fooled all people with that thumbnail. I feel so dissappointed have watched this

Stop stealing others work. You could at least give credit to those that y'all are ripping off on this channel

The Ballad makes sense. It's admirable that her father thought that women should be able to defend themselves. In the end when you are all alone, no one can defend you other than yourself. Disney 2020 Mulan is straight out of a Kung Fu flick from childhood, and the father seems to disprove(They could have at least had her father praise her behind closed doors and wonder where she learned to do that specific set of moves, and she'd respond by saying that she took inspiration from the lessons he taught her).

come on new generation I support the fact that Mulan fell in love, it's not our fault that Disney finds him "too attractive" I mean come on I like him in the story...

Actually the original versions were less messed up than the Disney version. No dishonor to her ancestors was even mentioned in the originals and even though women were banned from being soldiers. She was not disrespected in the original stories because she had proven that she did belong in the military. In the Disney version she was thrown out in the snow and left to die, even though she saved the troops. Yes, her father died in a version, but that's a bittersweet ending not unlike many movies we see now. He was old and that's the reason why she took his place in the first place. Since she as a general, odds are her father already knew by news and gossip that she was a successful warrior and he died with pride. Sad, but not "messed-up".

Jon Solo should get the ad money

I love your video so much it wants me to watch the movie every day

3:01 TAEHYUNG!?!??!

Rose are red Violets are blue I got clickbate So do you

I personally prefer the original story

I thought it was going to be real messed up I'm DISAPPOINTED!!!

She's not real it's just a legend
