@ODanil - I know that one still hurts, hundred eye was such a bad ass and it sucks that Prester John cliffhanger is never going to have a pay-off.

A female villain? Kinda odd given the theme of the film

Also apperenty Li Shang wont be in the film, instead her love interest will be a fellow recruit who hates her until he finds out she's a woman and then falls in love with her - well there's a progressive, positive message for all women out there!

Mulan takes off her glasses and shakes her hair down in slow motion
"Why Mulan, you're beautiful" he declares
