Not truly online btw just logging on quickly to toss out this thought that's bothering me before going back to studying as soon as I hit post

disney really took a story about a girl who's very much 'like the other girls' (starting the ballad sighing at her loom) braving battle for the sake of her father, and aside from discarding that theme, also directly spits on the face of that theme by making the most important scene in the movie one where she needlessly chops off her hair, desecrating the body her parents gave her and destroying something deeply culturally important that's directly related to loyalty to parents lol

#diary #mulan #disney mulan #hope everyone is doing well mwah #people LOVE fawning over that mess like i get it . i liked it too as a kid . but sorry we gotta admit it sucks #like i dont care how much love and care the animators put into it when it spits on the original story and does everything in its power #to say no the values arent good enough we are discarding them and fully changing them into american ones #if u want powerful and cool warrior women in chinese stories and history literally just pick any wudan btw mulan is #SO AGGRESSIVELY not the only one
