MULAN's Debut On Disney+ Possibly Not As Strong As Expected (Which May Be Bad News For BLACK WIDOW)

@Necropolitan - you'd think, yet we had people itching for an aladdin movie without robin williams and a lion king with all emotions drained from it.

@Origame - Aladdin wasn’t bad lion king was

@dragon316 - yeah but it wasnt very good either. And every problem with the movie is fixed with the original.

@Necropolitan - I kind of felt the same way, but then I’m reminded of the fact that the first trailer for Mulan got more views in 24 hours than all of the trailers released during DC’s FanDome combined did in the better part of a week, so somebody was surely interested at some point.

@Necropolitan - @dracula - I thought she had plenty of character development, the whole transition for coming out that she was a woman had a lot more weight here than in the cartoon( I love the cartoon too). I know a lot of people are upset about them adding her "affinity for chi" and saying that takes away from her training hard and growing but theres so much meat/content for her inner struggles as a woman and having this talent and not being able to use it, women cant join the army and yaddi yah, i know the same as the cartoon but in this it seems more fleshed out and focused on. Like the cartoon would focus on someone catching her and build jokes around that while this focuses on Oh you have this talent, why dont you use it, whats holding you back and of course a focus on whats wrong with a system like that, one that doesnt focus on a woman being an equal. So I do see why some ppl may say mary sue because shes already badass but her internal struggle now becomes what she has to train through. its like superman, superman is all powerful, but the reason you dont call him a mary sue isnt because his weakness is kryptonite. No his weakness is how human he actually is, his morals, his character, the fact that he tries to see the best in people even when they are a supervillain. That very thing about superman is the flaw that gets exploited the most in his stories, thats why we still read, watch or listen to superman. Now with mulan, shes powerful, but her flaws are internal. It had the feels man and I'm sure if it wasnt a disney movie and there was a longer run time, they could have even dived more into that. But I thought they did very well. They surprised me in a good way, I had low expectations. and the fact that the a lot of the story is so different now makes it so I can appreciate The live action just as much as the Cartoon, Like I could watch them back to back. I cant do that with the lion king cartoon then live action. Its way too similar, Even aladdin, even thought i thought it was good, even in the differences. But mulan takes such a different approach I can really appreciate it as a separate movie.
