Mulan (2020) - Chink War Movie

[Max Doof]

When you make anyone who wants to see it pay a $30 premium on top of an already niche streaming service, you probably aren't going to get a ton of people partaking who weren't already predisposed to love it.

All they need is that 73%!

Spoiler: *Slide whistle*

I still wish there was a way to track down one of the 79 Norwegians for their thoughts since they at least had the theatrical experience the movie was meant to have. Movies benefit quite a bit from surround sound, and not a lot of people have one installed, and Mulan at the very least comes off to me as needing surround sound for the fuller experience because of the battle scenes.

I'm just waiting because it'll be available free in December.

I kind of want to see it because I loved the cartoon as a kid, but I'm really concerned about songs like "I'll Make a Man Out of You" and "A Girl Worth Fighting For" getting utterly ruined by modern times wokeness.

Is this the correct time to bring up Disney banned the reviewer for the LA Times from any more premiers after a negative review of Thor Ragnorak?

Angry Joe disliked this movie (his words). Says it pales in comparison not just to the animated movie, but other stories about Mulan and female empowerment stories. He said 30 minutes in he looked at his watch, and decided he didn't like it at all even though the movie picked up in act two.

Still watching it, but yeah, not a positive review.

EDIT: Joe dropped the dreaded "Mary Sue" comment because of the beginning segment where you see s nine-year-old Mulan being perfect at gymnastics and stuff.

EDIT 2: Mulan is powerful because of chi. It's fucking chi, not her brains and perseverance in working hard to train. No, she has earth magic.

...I thought this was suppose to be a realistic take on the story.

How the calligraphy is supposed to look like. It looks like they used Comic Sans for the poster. Compare it to the calligraphy on Ne Zha's poster from last year.

But yeah, the arrow placements are stupid, the cloth is totally fake, and I think the lighting is off on her, like they used the burn tool too much.

What are the chances their official Chinese designers did it on purpose just because?

But remember Rick and Morty fans are the smartest highest IQ faggots on the planet.

This particular spergout was fake, but the whole controversy was idiotic and almost assuredly lead to the tv show getting even shittier.

Also fucking chi. I guess Disney decided Chinese audience are too based to take the "women can be just as strong as men" argument.

I mean just because it was "fake" doesn't make it any less retarded.

Vox just wrote a review and it's exactly what you would expect.

The lack of emotional development especially shortchanges the movie’s main plot thread — Mulan battling, and ultimately coming to terms with, her gender. The new Mulan, I’m sorry to say, offers a much more binary reading of gender than its predecessor, which was frequently unsubtle in the way it coded Mulan’s refusal to accept her assigned gender, offering multiple readings of the character.
[...]
And because we see Mulan leaning so strongly toward presenting as transmasculine, the film’s conflation of “true” identity with the gender you’re assigned at birth, and Mulan’s ultimately abrupt embrace of her womanhood, feels a little like ... transbaiting. If queerbaiting in the modern sense involves intentionally including overt queer subtext in a work in order to capitalize on a queer audience, only to later textually reject the possibility of queer relationships, then this version of Mulan feels a lot like that for trans identity, a tantalizing tease to trans viewers that ultimately reinforces a gender binary — like it wants to have its gender reveal party cake and eat it too.

I don't know what the fuck I just read, with all those nonsense made up words, but I hate it.

Took ‘em long enough. I was expecting this reaction from people the instant the remake was announced.

Think about from the Huns' perspective, beating up 100 chinese men vs beating up 100 chinese women really just felt the same.
