Doesn't even have I'll Make A Man Out Of You (or any songs)

They went for a Wushu style, but it's all Disneyfied so it sucks.

Also the Bad Guy dies by shooting an arrow at the Emperor, the Emperor catching it, then throwing it in the air and Mulan kicking it back into him

Not even worth the :filez: DL time, it felt suuuuuuper generic, and should have been included with Disney+
Curious if they'll send Black Widow out to digital as well.

Hahaha no way lol.

Also I’ll Make A Man Out Of You (the reprise specifically) is one of the best callback/subversion-of-text/plot-circle wrapups I’ve ever seen

Yeah it's actually worse than that. There are little music stings for most of the original movies songs but never full on performs them which is super frustrating.

It has the exact same problem as every other Disney live remake where the best parts of the movie are things that were done better in the original and the new ideas are smothered to death by writers who seem terrified the idea of the idea of too much change.

It tries so hard to justify it's existance and lean in on asian representation...but it's still written by four white guys.

Farewell, good Hunter. May you find your worth in the waking world.

Can someone photoshop that hand drawn pic of the Trump chud with glasses looking sadly at his computer screen so the sinking boats are right outside his window? I can’t find the pic anywhere but I know his expression is perfect for it.

Plus Instead of excelling through hard work and determination, like in the original, she has magical powers from the go and has to learn to accept them. Changing the entire point of the original's 'anyone can chase their their dream if they apply themselves' to 'anyone can chase their dream as long as they're born lucky'.

The main reason the movie didn't get held back for theaters any longer was that it was always targeting the China market but the movie clocks in around half an hour longer than the maximum run time China is currently allowing for movies.

I always thought it was pretty funny that the original couldn’t find enough Chinese actors so they got Pat Morita and George Takei

It's the worst of both worlds- songs that start with a riff from the original then goes into some very nice traditional sounding pieces.

It's a movie that doesn't have confidence in what is trying to do top to bottom.

Huh, I remember watching some live action mulan movie earlier and I can't recall if it was bad or not.

All I remember is at one point there's something called "the poison dragon" or some poo poo and it's like a mist or storm of green poison gas or something. The question is, is this new disney thing worse than something I can't really remember?
Probably yes.

Yeah, so far all I know is that Cinderella and Maleficient are okay and everything is pretty lame as live action remakes go.

Still waiting on them doing this with aggressively bad ideas like live action Lilo and Stitch or Hercules.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?
