Mulan (2020) - Chink War Movie

[Miller]

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 guess that makes sense if they've added a witch as the villain in the story instead of the Hun army. It's still dumb though since they're rewriting the story to appeal to Xi the Pooh

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

Its literally the tomboy meme come to life.

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

The original Mulan was never intended as a story of a woman becoming a man; it was the story of a woman reluctantly taking on a man's identity to keep her sickly father from dying in a war. Not every woman who dresses up as a man in fiction is doing it because she secretly wants a peepee. She could be doing it for convenience' sake because she's traveling through a lawless wilderness and doesn't want to get raped; she could be doing it because she needs a job during an era when women weren't allowed to get them, she could be doing it to serve alongside a boyfriend in the army or priesthood, etc.

If these freaks want to make a movie about a genuine trans woman soldier, they should try researching and portraying one of the many women who dressed up as men and served during the Civil War. Not all of the women who did it were trans or gay, but some of them could have been. Even so, they wouldn't have bought into the crazy ideologies pushed by Modern Academia and the Alphabet Mafia (but of course, the movie would portray them as having done so.)

Just remember it's the same kind of people who will endlessly complain about people forcing their world view on them. But will gladly take someone else's characters and portray them as a choice fetish for reasons that are far more sexist/racist than their opposition.

Woman decides not to be a dainty pussy and be tough, therefore, she must actually be a man on the inside. When you're so woke, you loop back around to hilariously sexist

Yeah, because these themes would totally fly in a movie made specifically to pander to Chinese audiences.

Actually could you imagine if it did? The Chinese are already mocking the hell out of it, why not go the extra mile and completely shit all over the legend with pointless trans and non-binary crap?

 

[Aqua Panda]

So this begs the question: why the hell did they cut Mushu when they went with the chi concept? Both fly right in the face of the supposed "grounded" take they claimed to be aiming for.

Also, completely gutting the music numbers hurts the film badly.

Finally, fuck off Disney with yet another female character who is naturally good at everything and has overwhelming magical power. It completely destroys the heroes journey and the character never really grows or changes. The plot bends over backwards to make sure she either always has a solution or is overwhelmingly superior to any foe/problem.

 

[RumblyTumbly]

The term Mary Sue gets thrown around, and its apt, but I prefer to use "Superman + Tits - Kryptonite"

All the complaints I've heard about Superman over the years are absolutely present in a lot of these empowered female characters, but without any kind of weaknesses or enemies above the character (Aside from Kryptonite, Superman also has Darkseid, Brainiac, Bizzaro, Parasite, Doomsday and many others that can match him physically).

When you take away weaknesses and obstacles from the hero, then drama and tension just get sucked out of it. The climax to Captain Marvel might be the worst I've ever seen where she just becomes invincible god lady and nobody on the bad guy side comes anywhere close to being a match for her, so the whole thing is just a boring special effects 'splosion with no tension.

 

[Dang Woodchucks!]

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

Not defending this garbage fire, but unless they're making her the World's Strongest/Best Warrior and doing all this wuxia wire stunts while everyone else stays grounded (which they might, i dunno, ain't bothering to find out); isn't the movie set in ancient China? Everyone believed that "chi" woo woo bullshit back then, some still do in present day...

Everyone slightly above average in anything is gonna get called as having "legendary chi of something or other" stuck up their ass, 'cause that's how they justified everything at that time.

Is this even real?
This feels like it was written in order to get hateclicks.
Then again, KF taught me that there are enough weirdos to make something like this unironically.

Grounded was just an excuse to avoid saying the real reason; Chinese audiences hated Mushu and Cri-kee. I mean, we didn't like that damn cricket either (neither did anyone in the production team that had him forced on them and couldn't get rid of either), but Eddie Murphy the pint-sized dragon was well liked everywhere but China. Otherwise a dragon wouldn't be out of place alongside chi since they believed in both at the same time.

Remember, this movie is literally not for us, it was supposed to be for China. And even then it's more to the approval of the Communist Party and not actual Chinese citizens, except for the lack of songs and dragons.

 

[Scarlett Johansson]

A lot of shit they couldn't put in because of China. Looks to be mixed to positive. Mainly not great, but watchable. Typical Disney but aside from Maleficent and Jungle Book one of the best unnecessary live action remakes.

Liu is never going to backtrack on her statements about HK lol. It keeps getting brought up in reviews. She's part of the brainwashed commie masses.

The only thing different about current year gender roles is that if you fit the gender roles of the opposite gender, you're automatically trans.

This is ridiculous, but is it any more ridiculous than 80's action movies? Not a huge fan of the sjw push in media but it does make me wonder would these things stand out as badly if it was a classic action hero did it.

I maintain that the 80's action movies were executed better, the heroes faced adversity and were flawed and got damaged and hurt along the way but I could be wrong.


Is based China gonna like this?

I liked it better when she blew up a tower (on the imperial palace no less) with fireworks and then used a lantern rope as a zipline to get off the roof. It was dramatic and fun. This is dramatic, but feels less fun. Just like China (or at least the Communist Party) demanded.

Mulan's entire story is meaningless because the emperor is so bad ass he can catch arrows barehanded?

 

[TheAmbiguousLurker]

Damn, he's so confident in Mulan's abilities that he knows just by nodding that she'll kick the arrow back at the villain.

 

[The Pink Panther]

It's so funny how badly timed this fucking movie was with its release date and all being during a pandemic caused by the chinks.

And from what I see, it ain't looking much better. That's a cringy way to kill the antagonist right there. Pathetic. Mulan '98 was so much better.

Much more color, excitement, intrigue, everything.
