Turning Mulan’s main villian into a female witch is such a shitty move. Mulan defeated a powerful man in front of a nation where women weren’t looked as equal and strong to men. This movie showed a woman breaking so many barriers by going up against the most feared man in China, and using her smarts and wits to take BOTH him AND HIS ARMY down.  I get that live action remakes tend to have some changes and some changes are not gonna live up to everyone’s expectations …..but this one change I 100% cannot get behind because it’s such a disservice to what Mulan mean’t and represented. Having this movie be directed by a white person, and written only by white people is such a bullshit move, Disney. Yeah, Disney had white writers for the original Mulan movie too, but they also had a female Chinese person write the screenplay because you can’t fucking write a story centered around a Chinese legend without involving Chinese people to work on that story. 

they what now

I’ve also seen speculation about Mulan’s talent coming from some unexplained magical powers instead of her just being a badass with an amazing work ethic. Completely undermines the character and makes her seem like she can’t keep up with men unless she’s magically assisted? No thanks.
