mulan is often considered as one of the most empowering disney animated films
ever so when Disney announced plans for the
release of a live-action adaptation of the original film fans from all over the
world joined forces to share what they believed to be some of the most
mind-blowing twists that we can expect from the remake oh man because these are
some of the most crazy theories about Mulan that change everything let's get
started Mushu and creaky are the real heroes while you were watching the movie
for the first time we're pretty sure that you saw Mulan as the great hero who
was able to best the adverse forces and eventually force him to bow before her
an act which recognizes that she is a great warrior and someone who was in a
league above even the Emperor himself and you have saved us all interestingly
enough according to Reddit user Li apocalypse Mulan might not be the real
hero after all rather the movies were beard little
creatures moo shu and crickey when you look at it the two can be seen as the
real MVPs in this movie simply because it's through their actions that Mulan
was able to storm the Emperor's Palace and eventually gain recognition from him
as you will recall Mulan and her team were deemed unfit for combat
consequently leading them to be kept away from the battlefield those boys and
no more fit to be soldiers than you are to be captain well this all changed when
moo shu and creaky forks a letter and submitted it to the relevant authorities
requesting immediate support in the battlefield that which implied the
release of Mulan and her crew to the battlefield I think it's time we took
this war into our own hands and as much as Mulan went on to save the day we
can't forget the fact that when she and her crew arrived at the warzone it was a
virtual wasteland with dead bodies everywhere for all we know it's very
possible that if she had been on the battlefield earlier she could have lost
her life it is through mu shoes and quickies delayed request for help that
mulan's early an untimely death was prevented
that would make the two of them the real heroes as their quick thinking the
strategic timing gave Mulan the window of opportunity that she needed to
succeed her plans Chang is the first gay Disney
Prince and as much as Mulan is known on a deeper level for making some
interesting statements about gender equality when you analyze some of the
facts that are merged from the movie there seems to be a lot of discussion
about orientation that may meet the eye based on a contribution shared by
Tristan Cooper from dorkly com it would seem that Disney was telling us a lot
more about Li Shan that we might have initially thought namely that he was
actually a gay Prince yes ladies if you were one of those girls fantasizing over
Li Shan when Mulan first came out we regret to inform you that you might not
be his type or prefer flavored tea would probably be me reason why you asked it
all has to do with his complex relationship with Mulan as we know Mulan
disguises herself as a man in order to save her dad from certain death
as he would have been drafted off to war in the process she forcibly fosters a
friendship with li Shang and strives to earn his trust and respect all with the
hopes of rescuing her dad however in the process the viewers bear witness to the
two slow but certain transition from a mere platonic relationship into a
budding romantic one where feelings seem to be running just a little too deep
from now on you have my trust granted one might loosely categorize the twos
feelings for each other as strictly stemming from a case of mistaken
identity although you'd be missing out on a much larger overriding statement
let's remember that Mulan was really pink a man therefore there clearly
documented courtship was done all with li Shang supposition that Mulan was male
meaning that he was courting a man he fell in love with someone who he
believed was a man manly urges and you just gotta kill something therefore when
he found out that Mulan was really a woman his heart was broken beyond
measure there he was so close to falling in love with someone only to find out
that not only were the feelings not mutual the object of his desire wasn't
even male if this revelation does turn out to be true that would mean that li
Shang is the first-ever gay prince featured in the Disney movie something
that is pretty breaking when it comes to Disney Animation Mulan has a deeper
purpose to live as we all know the does make some pretty strong statements
about traditional gender roles and stereotypes but do you know to what
extent the movie explores these notions especially through characterization and
plot play Milan speaking without permission I know my place it is time
you learned yours well to help shed some light on such a complex issue let's take
a look at something discussed by reddit user chondroitin regarding mulan's
character specifically the notion that she may have a deeper hidden agenda
unsurprisingly the theory relates heavily to female empowerment remember
the song a girl worth fighting for which was played in the movie the song speaks
about men who all crave a domestic woman in the movie Mulan is clearly bothered
by the lyrical content of the song unsure of how to interpret it now let's
flash forward to the scene were following the destruction of the village
Mulan collects a doll from the rubble the doll belongs to a girl in the
village something which is confirmed by Sean you earlier in the film when he
says besides the little girl will be missing her doll we should return it to
her besides the little girl will be missing her doll we should return it to
her Mulan seems to be fixated by dolls in
the movie because in an earlier scene a boy in true mischievous fashion takes
the girls doll away from her Mulan who sees this is not happy with what the boy
did and takes it all back from him returning it to the girl having laid out
the facts the mysterious title the song with
perplexed Mulan seems to make a little more sense
what is she fighting for she's fighting for women for girls Mulan is preoccupied
how young girls and women are being treated in society their innocence is
being robbed and their individuality suppressed by the venom of a society
where the focus is on men the stone dragon died protecting mulan's dad ever
wondered why the great stone dragon just suddenly turned to rubble when those who
were sleeping in the family shrine will gub well in case you have wondered why
turtle stephenson or reddit things said he has solved the mystery behind this
act it all has to do with foz Xue and the possibility that the stone dragon
actually expended all its energy to save him
let's start by stating the obvious bhasu was a warrior known for his
brilliance and impressive skills in the battlefield still it's also known that
he has a major scar which needs to be treated every day so that it doesn't get
worse with that as our backdrop let's imagine the following situation
zu ended up getting the lifelong scar following a near-death experience on the
battlefield where the great stone dragon mustered up all his strength to save him
sparing zu from certain death but not from the scar granted we know that the
great stone dragon doesn't usually take the frontline during battle especially
given the fact that this is a universe where a man must live and die by the
sword therefore if you were to call the great
stone dragon into battle it would probably mean being scorned by society
and looked down upon as a failure this honour this hot on your whole family
based on the events which happened in the film one can deduce that zu
despite his recognition as a great warrior isn't exactly embraced by
society first things first zoos experience and skills as a warrior
were not incorporated into the army one would think that the army would see him
as an asset that needed to be involved in some way shape or form right instead
he's relegated to a quiet life as a retiree why is that could it be that in
the heat of battle he committed an unforgivable act which forever stained
his reputation and image in the village this would all explain why the great
stone dragon died while in battle zu realized that he was going to die so in
an act of desperation he called upon the great stone dragon who sacrificed itself
so that he could live on father's presence would have guaranteed the army
success has it ever occurred to you that during a great battle the Chinese army
would a much rather had Fozzy was part of their ranks and not his son ping well
reddit user wash zoey mal definitely seems to think so
actually he believes that the army was secretly praying that Fozzy would have
shown up as his presence would have surely led to the Army's victory now
while it's true that zu was suffering from an incurable scar which would have
incapacitated him during battle the idea of including xun the army doesn't stem
from the need to actually have him fight rather the need to have him as moral
support to boost the spirits of the other soldiers
to explain it's clear that mulan it's a closest thing to a household name that
any warrior can come to in the milan world as soon as mulan announced that
she was the son note basu the army officials knew him by name meaning that
his reputation preceded him basu the FA's ooh when he was in the army he was
actually stationed the same unit in which Mulan was placed in a unit which
is known for housing a lot of ill-behaved
difficult to manage soldiers they got to my face lip noodle for this reason it's
easy to believe that the army had actually secretly hoped that Xue would
have returned to the army his guidance in a supervisory position would have
probably up the morale the soldiers while simultaneously keeping them in
line this of course means that they weren't exactly too thrilled to see move
on but hey at least they still won the battle she wasn't all that bad after all
