[Episode] Mulan: A Case of Failed Empowerment | Video Essay
🕑 Added 2020-09-10 14:08:54 +0000 UTCSo, I didn't expect to feel this strongly against Mulan 2020. I expected it to be soulless (which it is), like the new Lion King . I expected it butcher the story with virtue signaling (which it does), like the new Beauty and the Beast.
But I did not expect the film to goes absolutely counter to everything Mulan is stood for. The progressive message. The inclusive nature. The empowerment. Nothing! It has nothing!! All it has, is a harmful message.
Sorry for being negative. But allow me to justify my frustration in this... Jesus, 18 minutes!?

Excellent video. I find arguments supporting this film weird and desperate.

I love your video review, it showed all the flaws of the new one, it felt empty and cheap
You read my mind, thank you for this video!

I felt indifferent about the film. But after watching your essay about 2020 Mulan, I can see why alot of my friends felt similarly to what your essay conveys. I felt they definitely could have done a lot more to tell the story better, regardless of not having Mushuu.
