Disney continues their quest to live-action every single animated movie they've ever made, with this dull and boring Mulan movie. The magic is missing here, folks, and it's not just because there's no Mushu. And we count the sins to prove why.
Thursday: Sins of a mid-aughts comedy that got a surprising sequel.
No movie is without sin. Which movie's sins should we count next?

Good on you for getting help!
Therapist=the rapist
@The Hermit no therapist service is without sin
Don’t listen to the hate man therapy sites help people you’re promoting a good thing
I dont buy that you guys “personally” use the service
The live action changed the message from “anyone can be strong with enough effort” to “you need superpowers to be strong”
Honestly it's a big issue when it comes to female protagonists. I would love to see more Ellen Ripleys, that kicks 100x more ass then the average dude without giving up being human or a female(Well Alien Ressurection aside ofc, I mean seriously).
Nah it should just be "anyone can be strong with plot armor".
@@magnuscarlsson9969 I know right, they don't give them any flaws. And they just overpower them.
True
That’s one of the main problems of the movie
Ngl, I feel like Mulan being superhuman kinda undermines one of themes of the original movie, in that she started out as an ordinary woman but became a talented soldier thanks to diligent training and hard work.
This is exactly what I had been thinking, and why I never watched it. It takes the meaning and purpose out of the story!
She was also smart!! Like she was strong but she also had brains to problem solve. Having some super power undermined all of it.
That is what I said to my sister but she said it was better that way. In this movie, Mulan didn't earn her power she was just born with it.
and dont forget:
she has the aid of her magical pheonix pokemon
it does indeed do that. Because apparently the big wigs at Disney think that Wamen can only be stronk or smrt if they have actual god damn super powers and not through things like their wit, or their determination, or bravery, or problem solving skills. You know, like the ORIGINAL?
OG Mulan: I was a simple girls who joined the army in my father’s place. I trained hard to fit in, but eventually learned that true strength comes from within.
2020 Mulan: I have magic that makes me cool, so I fight because I have magic.
OG Mulan always win
She's got real character too.
@Olivia WeltonRauh then he simps
Og mulan: I want to save my dad :D
New mulan: THE FORCE IS STRONG WITHIN ME, I CAN FEEL IT.
Sis. She DIDN'T
“Everything wrong with Mulan (2020)”
Me: “Everything and everything”

@@ChristHoon that's really Dark
@@nintony2994 Of course she is. She should have shut her big mouth and her so called opinions!
This movie was awful. Didn’t deserve to be in the theaters and glad it wasn’t.

Animated Mulan: Young girl saves China with her intelligence, ingenuity, and grit.
Live action Mulan: Young girl saves China with luck and magic.
To be fair, animated Mulan had some luck and magic too. But I agree she survived more on her own intuition than pure luck.
Animated Mulan : A woman can achieve as much as a man with hardwork and intelligence
Live action Mulan : Ah yes I am a Mary sue blessed with talents from the start everyone else is pathetic oh look I have superpowers
I completely agree, but after re-watching both the original Mulan never really became adept with a sword, and relied on the big hunky man to do all the real fighting. I just want the Mulan that starts like the animated one where she is smart and courageous but weak and untrained and ends like the live action where she is an expert with the sword and actually does the fighting herself.
@@coffeebeanbenjamin Mulan is the one who beat Shen Yu in the end. Not her hunky boyfriend. Being unarmed, by the way. If it was not a kids movie they could have easily shown Mulan dispatching him with his own sword.
She can use spear, sword and bow. It´s just that the animation was not focused an anyone actually doing much fighting.
@@coffeebeanbenjamin Mulan defeated Shanyu with a FAN, which is the symbolism of femininity. She basically won Because she's a women, that's more powerful than she "adpat to the old manly way" to defeat him. Also she corrected her soldier friends many times using the traditional manly way to solved obstacles, the original one just had a better message overall.
The reason Mulan removed her armour, is because she remembered she was already wearing plot armour.
Sounds like a line deadpool would say.
@@Random_Guy_20xx tru
There wasn't alot of plot tho
@@elichoiniere9172 true
@@elichoiniere9172 you definitely dont know what plot armour is
“Oh shut up, WHERE IS MUSHU!?” Is a phrase I want to quote every day now
And where the fuck is the character development?
And where is the coherent storyline?
And where is the amount of fucks I give for this movie?
@@lightyagami4535 For the Mulan remake, there should be none in my opinion, for the original Mulan there should be plenty :>
@@mykye75 You basically summed up my feelings right there 😄
Mulan in the animated version was so relatable. She was clumsy, had a hard time fitting in, and was truly struggling to find her place in the world. But then she realized how strong she was and used her power to save China. It was a beautiful journey of self discovery that was also fun and witty. This movie stripped all of that away from the story, and it just breaks my heart at how horribly they destroyed the true message of Mulan.
I couldn't agree more.. It's just sad how much they changed Mulan from, my favorite to least favorite disney movie
it is also sad how they said that it was supposed to be closer to the original ballads and poems of Mulan than the cartoons but ended up being further than any of the former movies loosely based off of them.
@@momoe9349 so true! And I hate that they took Mushu out because they said that it made the movie "more realistic." But in what way is a spirit guide in the form of a magical phoenix and a magical force that gives Mulan her power as a warrior more realistic?
Yep. Then I found this video which backed up everything you said. ua-cam.com/video/BfygsYajMVo/v-deo.html
Theres a deleted scene where shes a hopeless klutz at domestic duties while her sister is a natural.
The fact that they removed Mushu to “make the movie more realistic”, but added a frikkin Phoenix makes me peeved
not to mentioned OP witch.
@@YouDonkeyfu or Chi
Dont forget the shapeshifter witch. WTF
That Phoenix was 100% unnecessary. It appeared like 2 or 3 times and what purpose did it even serve? Remind her of her family and legacy and whatev the fuck that was supposed to mean. Cutting out all those phoenix scenes would have literally not changed the movie at all.
So. Effin. Peeved.
Honestly, I’m still mad that this movie took out all of the good characters, Grandma, Mushu, the Cricket, the three guys, and hot bod tod
Bruh I forgot about grandma!
@@MsAnimelove2102 she didn't drink the prune juice
The mere fact we don’t have those guys and the waterfall scene is a sin
HOT BOD TOD😂😂😂😂😂
@Ernesto Muro Ortiz all of them but definitely shang
The only good part of these live action remakes is proving how good the originals were and that animation is actually a quality form of movie.
Animation (especially anime) often expresses emotions way more deeply than live action
@@theself5738 well anime has a bunch of silly things that make it blatantly obvious what they're feeling. Its almost like a lot of the shows don't take themselves seriously.
@@user-fs4um7oq9c Lets be honest, most anime's take their absurd fantasy plots much more seriously than this drivel. An anime character would never discard their armor because of 'girl power' or 'your chi is pig dung'...
@@sprinkle61 what i meant by not taking themselves seriously is when they'll do stuff like momentarily make the characters look like a bobblehead and shade their faces to an extremely exaggerated degree. I didnt mean nkt taking themselves seriously as much as not trying to make it look so realistic
@@user-fs4um7oq9c Yes, goofy expressions are a part of anime. If you don't like it, it can make the rest hard to take seriously.
I'm glad that Mushu wasn't included-- they would've butchered his character too.
This is probably an unpopular opinion. But to be honest, I would've accepted a slightly butchered character for Mushu over the phoenix that added nothing to the story like Mushu did.
@@flameshock1013 I think in Chinese culture, a dragon represents a boy while a phoenix represents a girl. And today is 2020 so they probably did it intentionally.
@@srirachacola6579 both the dragon and phoenix are symbols of the emperor/royal family so it would be forbidden for the hua family to use either
@@srirachacola6579 plus they didn't even use the Chinese interpretation of a phoenix in the movie, since the "Rising from the ashes" isn't part of the Chinese mythos anyway.
I love mushu. They wouldve ruined him.
This movie deserves more sins than home alone 2 for not having Mushu
Wait they didn’t add Mushu?? I haven’t seen it and now I don’t want to
In my opinion, “Home Alone 2” ITSELF didn’t deserve as many sins as it got.
Mushu was def my favorite part of Home Alone 2
@@normalizebeigevil nope no mushu
ok but that billion sins addition in hong alone 2 is still funny as fuck
Sentence: DISHONOR!

@@Annikalovetokeepmesafe through your armor
Disney: this movie is realistic with no songs
The movie: mulan knows everything in the begining now and averything is imposible while in the first movie was more realistic
Oh and now we added a witch
That can turn into a bird
Yeah
@@mfirdanhb oh and don't forget the fucking kite phoenix shittery
Why on earth i read "mulan knows everything" as the meme "lucas knows what you did"
They didn’t remove mushu because he was “unrealistic” they removed him because his humor is not fit for a dark PG-13 movie.

this movie exists, and that is 500 sins
Yep

Alternate title: disney does it again
Nothing more to say
Horrid. 'Chi', bad acting, bad story, bad editing, no valuable lesson, gives a TERRIBLE message, fails to effectively empower woman, and doesn't give anything substantial in the slightest, to the meaning of being true to yourself.
If I watched this movie on an airplane, I would still walk out.
The thing that was supposed to empower women that if you weren’t born with cool powers you can’t do anything
Damn 😂😂😂
IK, it's such a gaint middle finger to the original character like,if Bruce Wayne only became a Superhero through "ReAl POwerS"
Ikr the message is very bad:
Cash grabbing remakes make a lot of money
Fr lol.
As a Chinese person, this looks 100% like TV shows we had 20 years ago.
Wow, what are Chinese tv shows like now???
Is it because of the bad CGI
@@theself5738 Mostly Inception Detective Buddy Cop trying to snatch viewer from Arch-Nemesis South Korean Pop TV Show.
Nah. Journey to the west (the old one, 1990 or something) was Amazing! It was definitely better than this sh*t.
lmao you're foul. it does look like a tv show called Lazytown though.
"being real to the story" *proceeds to get almost everything culturally wrong* sureeeeeeeeee
They got all the stuff wrong. Staircase farm didn’t exist in that period. It’s wayyy after the Han dynasty
AT LEAST make a lizard that LOOKS like a dragon than a fucking bird that can't even do anything
Disney: "We removed Mushu to make the movie more realistic!"
Also Disney: (Adds a f*cking witch that can turn into a falcon and a "phoenix" that looks more like an Archaeopteryx mixed with a piñata)
While my mom and I were watching it was a kite 😂
Exactly 🤦♀️
Nah, Disney removed it cus Dragons are sacred in Chinese culture and having him in there wouldn't fly (pun intended) with the market they are trying to cater to.
I’m fine with them adding fantasy elements since most Chinese media is just fantasy fanfic of folklore. But they missed the whole ass point of mulan. The theme and message of her story just got yeeted
@@lockedin6699 Makes sense... but the western idea of witches and phoenixes doesn’t exist in China. Phoenixes are actually different in Chinese culture so the film messes up different cultures.
Original Mulan: I will work hard, and prove that I can be just as good if not better than any man!
New Mulan: Super powers go brrr
Power Ranger Samurai bought by Disney
Original Mulan : People may call me a weak woman who belongs in the kitchen, but I'll prove them that I'm a warrior.
mUlAn 2020 : Haha phoenix power go brr
And worse : no more the woman who feels bad in a role of wife., but is capable in other... Here is a superheroine who beats any enemy but cannot stop a hen. Stereotype.
ahahahahah
That was the worst point of this to me. I actually like some things about this film. But making it a version of crouching tiger hidden dragon which is a very good Chinese art form but I didn't think it worked here. The legend of Mulan has her becoming a great warrior through experience, training and innate leadership. And that diminished her I think in this film. The second thing was playing Darth Vader and Luke and return of the Jedi with her in the witch. It meant that the biggest moments were not move on with her family or the emperor or her enemy but this other character
You know this movie is bad, when CinemaSins barely have any satire sins.
"It is stunning that they don't understand the story of Mulan, they don't even understand their previous Mulan movie."
I bet they didn't even see the animated Mulan
The movie includes a literal shapeshifter but deemed Mushu “too cartoonish”? Wtf
Böri Khan. Scaling the great wall. Nuff said.
@@aaronruf8421 Also Böri Khan, because what a stupid fucking name. Idk if it is accurate. Shan Yu was so much more intimidating as a name.
I think that was just the simple lip service that the moviemakers gave the decision, and not the full story. Really, Mushu is more of a tone issue given the nature (read: loud and contemporary in a historical setting) of his comic relief. I think the honest truth is that Mushu was one of the more forced anthropomorphic animal sidekicks that Disney looked to always include in its cartoons, and that animated version might have been better off without him. We'll never know, but of course given that he was in the film and tons of people grew up watching it he's beloved now. These filmmakers didn't see a place for the comic relief animal sidekick, but did see a place for a mystical animal that would appear (potentially real, potentially not) to offer implied guidance at key moments. But, rather than try to explain all that (which would be fair, right or wrong), they went with the short and simple (but not entirely accurate) explanation, if that makes sense.
@@redsoxu571 You know, they could have just made mushu more serious. Like the dragon guardian who was actually supposed to look after mulan. On the other hand, mulan is so OP, why would her ancestors give a fuck about HER safety, right?
Who needs a Hawk Yoda working with a tyrant for what again? The right of super powered females? If you can have an ambiguous reptilian sidekick, where it is unsure whether he wants to help mulan or stop her . They could have just taken the literal picture of chinese dragons of wise and intelligent creatures and put him in as the "i don´t know whether he´s evil, or good, but he seems to help the Mc" kind of character.
Mushu could have taken exactly the same role as the shapeshifting Witch. But hey, to pull something like that off, you need actual good writing and not "Huns can accurately shoot at soldier of several distances at rapid fire without adjusting the trebuchet. They shoot the avalanche 200+m behind mulan"
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
the absolute first sin of this movie should have been "This exists."
Right? I was surprised that was left out
THIS MOVIE MAKES Jink Jar Binks and Scrappy Doo look like The Mona Lisa in Comparison
Mulan (2020): 125 sins.
Cars 1: 127 sins.
What
These were real sins. Those were comedy sins
@@Cal90208 ohhhhh
Now that makes perfect sense
The whole “the witch tries to convert Mulan but then ends up switching sides herself”-part gave me massive Return of the Jedi flashbacks.
I know it couldn't have happened, but I kept wishing that by the end of the movie Mulan would have a hot bird witch girlfriend
@@olif.5581 username checks out. Also, same.
You found "The antagonist tries to convert the protagonist, but instead he switches sides himself" cliché. Which suggests that you would be good at CimemaSins.
"How much gold can a nomad carry" sounds like the set up for a joke, but the movie forgot to give us the punchline.
The punchline WAS the movie.
I immediately said "if a woodchuck could chuck wood" after I heard that line.
@@delugesofgrandeur Same here! LOL!
@@dennispremoli7950 ...but it wasn't funny
A nomad can carry as much gold as a nomad could carry if a nomad could carry gold.
This movie doesn’t deserve 125 sins, it literally deserves an infinite amount for existing
well i mean...its not the worst live action movie...
😞 C A T S
but yeah this movie is one of the worst movies to exist
To be honest, once Mulan goes “fuck this, I’m done pretending to be a guy (or in other words takes off her bra xD/OTL) the following scene of her kicking ass is FUCKING AWESOME!!!
tbh.. still better than wonder woman 1984
It was also filmed in a Chinese concentration camp so yeah I agree
@@tomhankle It was filmed next to the camp, which is still pretty bad. It couldn't have been filmed IN the concentration camp because that camp is currently still active... :(
Worst thing by far is that it doesn’t have “A Girl Worth Fighting For” and its abrupt end and cut to the waste of the battlefield from the original. That scene was utterly heartbreaking.
To sexist for the woke society
What frustrated the most is Mulan in here is really flat. Her face, voice tone, and emotion stayed there and no difference.
Exactly, at least give me some body language
She just stood there like a block of wood
Ironic, isn’t it?
Or the actress
@@Jordaint Whoever played Mulan here definitely didn't tried to felt like her. Romancing The Stone was made 37 years ago and every actor who played there really tried to get into their roles and feel like them. What happened?
Jeremy: "...that's the biggest sin in this movie. Well that and there's no Mushu."
Me: F*CKING THANK YOU!!!!
How the hell are there comments from half a day ago when this was just released
I totally FUCKING AGREE with both of you. Mushu was the only reason I watched this movie. 😒
@@nolosuperstes1842 I think it’s patreon or something
The worst sins are:
Mushu isn't here.
It's not a musical.
And it's not as funny as the animated.
How the f-
*gunshot*
Ah yes Live Action Mulan, the warrior who was perfect since she was a child, didn't have to train to become a warrior, and has no character flaws.
And overcomes no personal struggles with identity or relationships or her training. Ugh.
Why are you guys talking about Star Wars The Force Awakens? Stay on topic please
@@rickhunter6513 my bad. I mix up the two sometimes
Sam totally understandable seeing both train wrecks were produced by Disney 🙄
Who let Kathleen Kennedy near the script again?
"How could you miss? He was 3 feet in front of you!"
I think you needed to add +1 000 000 sins for Mushu not being in the movie😭😭💔
the “flower that blooms in adversity” speech from
the original was so much better than the phoenix speech from the new one
Right?!? The flower speech is beautiful. That was just weak. Like everything in this crappy movie.
I love how they wanted to “make it more realistic” but then you got phoenixes, witches, guys running on walls for 10 seconds, and three hours worth of broken logic.
The animated film was more realistic funny enough.
4:54 "Man, don't you hate it when you wake up in the middle of night, you can't sleep, and you walked in on your dad playing with his sword?" Lmao!
Me: *refuses to watch Mulan 2020*
My dad: it can’t be that bad! *watches it on his own*
My dad: I hated it
Me: : /
My parents have been trying to get me to see it and and I’m like. No. Literally. No.
@@m_artroom yes and stick to it
Love ur avatar tho
Me before: I wanna watch that
Me after I found out that their is no Mushu: "DISHONOR ON U, DISHONOR ON YOUR COW!!!!!"
Bonus round: every moment where the "we are trying to make the movie more realistic" is turned into a goddamm lie
Hmm singing lions umm a gene a girl having superpowers and a witch transforming into a birb
And the characters not speaking Chinese, but english
I'm watching the original cartoon simply outta spite.
Not having a small Eddie Murphy dragon sidekick is the biggest sin of all.
Right next to not having a song about making a man out of you.
And completely misunderstanding the first movie’s message
Edit: grammar
Murphy's character was the worst part of the original. Which makes it really bad that his presence would have greatly improved this one.
@@nobodyimportant2470 you really live up to your name huh
And turning Mulan into a Mary Sue who's perfect and was born with godlike powers instead of struggling at first and becoming stronger using her smarts and determination, you know, things that made her an actual character.
because they wanted to make the remake, more realistic, that's why Mushu and Cricket is not in the movie.
I think the did a great job with ''realism'' .
Aight. So, me and my cousin where literally arguing about this movie. We both haven't seen it before and my cousin wanted to see it badly cuz she really loved the orginal and thought this would look good. I argued, saying I don't wanna watch it after seeing so many reviews about it and was scared that this might ruin my childhood. She was able to convince me to watch after tempting by saying *"What would Mushu look like in 3D though?"* and then we watched it.
Our childhoods are ruined, we screamed *"DISHONOR!* Dishonor on you! Dishonor on your whole company!" And vowed to never watch another remake of our fav disney films and stick to the originals.
And I will forever stand by this statement unless they prove me wrong
I figured that vow would've been made after the Lion King remake, and if not that, Aladdin.
When they shot down the Witch in hawk-form, I was honestly expecting a Harry Potter "HEDWIG" dub over
I was waiting for the dog from Duck Hunt to show up!
Fun Fact/Sin: The description of the Phoenix in this movie is based on the Western version, not the Chinese version. It’s not even called a Phoenix. It’s called Fenghuang.
And represents the empress
i don't think they figured out which audience they wanted to appeal to, so they decided "both" and did neither
Thank you for that comment- it was quite interesting to check out how different those two are!
And the dragon is the "Long", and the emperor is the "Huangshang", and women are "nuren" and men are "nanren", and EVERY WORD THEY SAY IS DIFFERENT FROM WHAT IS USED IN THE MOVIE BECAUSE THEY SPEAK ANOTHER LANGUAGE... it's called "translation".
I was actually wondering that
When he finally admitted that there is no Mushu the Sin counter should have jumped up by at least 100 or shoulda been given a sin multiplier bonus
I literally ranted about this movie to my friends during gym because of the VERY important plot peices they changed
I'm a person who isn't picky with movies. Give me a movie I'll probably like it. But when I watched the Mulan remake, I absolutely, with every fiber of my being, hated it.
1. No Mushu
2.Who tf is that evil lady person?
3. No cut off hair
4. replaced the pole climb with water buckets? That defeats the whole purpose of using your obstacles to you advantage
5. That "Phoenix" looks like a kite
6. To many _forced_ "feminist" scenes. This movie is supposed to be about "Women are capable," not "men should stop being sexist"
7. The movie speaks for itself I don't have to continue
The fact that Mushu and Li Shang are not here, and that the actress of Mulan supports Hong Kong police brutality and finally that a big part of the movie was filmed in Xinjiang, precisely near Uyghurs concentration camps deserve way more sins than that !
Great video though.
You see unfortunately China funds pretty much everything you enjoy, and funds almost every company in NA. And movies. I don’t support anything they do, but people are kind of stuck. Although yes Disney could have filmed somewhere else but do they care? No they are the biggest monopoly in the world lol
An actress' political affiliation should not warrant sins for the movie. Sure, I can understand why you might boycott paying to see the movie so you can choose not to support it (which you are still doing indirectly by viewing this video anyway, albeit arguably much less) but that isn't a reason to criticise the film. I realise that cinemasins aren't professional critics and we get sins like "x hot girl is not my girlfriend in this scene" but you are not cinemasins.
@@run4walk oh, that actress can’t act, I.e. show emotions, but shows emotions on a crack down on our fellow humans. She can F off and kiss Winnie Xi Pooh arse.
@@itrthho Sure, feel free to slam her all you want, but her political views aren't a criticism of the film
The short answer: *everything...*
lion king: welcome to the club,
we got aladin,
dumbo,
and mulan
"what did mulan do?"
"they forgot mushu"
Existing: 5000 sins
“Thanks to our sponsor prison camp, They supplied us with all the supplies and free labor”
@Daniel Kolbin nope. If you want a good live action Mulan there already there are several. So this IS a nothing movie.
Even if they didn't make this, nothing would be loss.(well... Aside from the millions Disney put into it...they at least get to keep that)
Cause China has made multiple version of this story, including a sequel. And because the ballad was drilled into their brain since childhood, the stories are far better.
@@spooderman6312 Ok Aladdin was fine. It wasn't as good as the first but I pressed through and I would watch again if I REALLY wanted to. Also Will was pretty cool. Dumbo had NOTHING to do with the original, and was pretty out there and all over the place. The only reason I dont say it sucks is because of Danny DeVito. Jungle Book was actually enjoyable, and I would watch again, but main problem was that ALOT of songs were cut, when they could have been easily be cut in their respective places (ex: the Elephant march song, Trust in me). It was respectful to the cartoon and found the new elements not too serious and cool to look at. Lion King was too serious, and would not watch again. Too serious, even with Pumba and Timon, and just, was too reliant on nostalgia and new CGI. MULAN CAN KISS MY ASS!
Wait, Mulan's been there for a month!? How did she deal with her Aunt Flo without anyone noticing.
Two things
1. As mostly everyone knows, the battle scene was filmed near a concentration camp.
2. Jeremy advertised BetterHelp, which was proven years ago to be a scam.
@JayLeeBeanz Philip DeFranco and several other creators got in loads of trouble for it too back in 2018. DeFranco responded but didn’t seem to care. Everyone else was quiet and said nothing
@@aydenmarietta4906 wow
That BetterHelp Scam Is Exactly Why I Unsubscribed From Phillip DeFranco.
I could be wrong, but I'd argue that Betterhelp isn't as much a scam as it is a "know-what-you're-paying-for" kind of website.
At least in France, a therapist or a counselor can be literally anyone who has decided to help people with their mental health. Therefore, most people don't realize that only certain job titles are linked with actual long studies, like those a psychiatrist would have done for instance. The site does provide the accreditations of each therapist, but I have no idea how valid these are, being not familiar with the US system in that regard.
So basically, you pay for a service that matches you with a random range of therapists, which could be perfectly competent or not, depending on your luck.
Anyway, I personally used their service for a couple of months, and it proved useful in a time I didn't have any access to face-to-face competent therapists. Even though I can honestly say the therapist I got was only okay-ish, he did provide me various basic tools to work on my issues and provided me much-needed support at that time.
I think it's the kind of service that would be useful on a very situational level, and most of the time only as a short-term option.
So yeah... I wouldn't say it's a scam... but it is probably advertised as something fancier/more competent/more efficient than it is.
The right opinion did a video on it, his name doesn't correlate to politics btw. His video format is kinda jank but he's a good speaker
Yeah the part when she took off her armor really irritated me... It was like geesh we know she's a girl already and the armor was protecting her smh lol
and letting her hair down in battle is so impractical and unsafe. i know, plot armor and everything, but people can just straight up grab her by it and slit her throat
This is the part that bothered me most! 😂 Like you still need armor and now people can grab your hair, just say you're a woman!
@@ZuriBirmingham Perfectly hilarious reply

The amount of controversy that this movie had with the plot/filming AND OUTSIDE THE MOVIE is honestly impressive
I KNOW! Like I’ve never witnessed a movie that came out with controversy for EVERY SINGLE PART ABOUT THE MOVIE AND WITH THE CAST AND PRODUCTION TEAM! Like I’m just happy that it’s getting the hate it deserves 😌
Hey at least they reduced controversy by removing Mushu.
Wait...
The only reason I hate this move is because it exists
The Ccp has concentration camps
Mulan is in my opinion would have been the most controversial things that happened in 2020 if the presidential election didn’t happen this year or atleast up their as one of the most controversial things of 2020.
literally EVERYTHING is wrong with this movie...
Also... why did he say things about taking off the armor, but not TAKING HER HAIR OUT OF HER BUN??? Seriously, I don't care how cool it is- having your hair down during a fight is the worst. it obscures your view and gets in your way.
not to mention your hair could get caught on something
Exactly! Literally anyone with long hair in any SPORT knows to keep your hair up bc it’s annoying as hell when you’re trying to do something and it falls in your face.
Would have been okay if she cut it, BUT SHE DIDNT
Never mind the fact that your enemy can grab it, which puts you at a serious disadvantage. There's a reason soldiers keep their hair short.
True, but the hair was the more-than-adequate symbolic gesture, a visual representation of the decision she's made. Getting rid of the armor too is both more unwise and unnecessary.
It’s kinda weird how in the original stories her character was weak and flawed. Only when she faced her fears in order to protect the ones she loves does she over come her disadvantages. She goes through the process of finding strength in odd places and her entire existence was a stance against the rules that didn’t make sense. However the newer movie throws all of that out the window. They turned a wild rebel with flaws and character development into an emotionally unstable static wuss of a machine that was fully loyal to the government. I wonder why Disney would want to pander to the Chinese government? Oh yeah…
Money.
Communism ☭
I’d also like to point out that chi literally means “breath” and (to my tiny understanding) is a life force that moves through everyone, not a randomly assigned superpower. And as everyone else has mentioned, mulan was about hard work, not being a chosen one. Also I miss the music 😭
You forgot to add the sins for when Disney choose to film the Uyghur concentration camps in the background of the film.
THANK YOU IM NOT THE ONLY ONE PISSED ABOUT THAT!
@@dg198 Empowerment and representation! But only for certain Chinese people not the ones being oppressed 🤗
What is that
@@alixhudspeth4912 China has concentration camps where they take away the children of Muslim families to "re-educate" them and the whole thing stems from hate and causes immense pain and suffering for the people being targeted.
@@alixhudspeth4912 basically Xi Jin Ping being Chinese Hitler
You guys forgot a sin: "This movie exists."
I’m disappointed you didn’t add 100 extra sins for not having Mushu
Both stories had the same agenda of empowering women, and it's a great agenda. The difference is, the animated movie was executed brilliantly. Showing that women can be equal or even exceed men through sheer will, and effort. It's empowering because everyone can do it. While the live action movie pushed it's agenda by literally making Mulan just "Built Different" so unless you're a born prodigy in sports that can do a triple back flip in the air and holding your entire body weight with a bamboo chute. Than you're *just f u c k e d*
You forgot to say:
THIS MOVIE EXISTS!!!
Hi.
i'm currently trying to get people
to report more.
For obvious reasons, as reporting
out of petty spite is a thing, yes,
but not everyone is like that; some indeed
want to make the internet better, ya know.
I think some people want to make
the world a better place and/or are
dissatisfied with youtube,
so i made a Wiki that provides people
with Links.
Links that i spend years to gather and confirm.
I confirmed that these links lead to bad people
or toxic people of one kind or another.
Racists, Sexists, Mobber, combinations of the just listed,
all that and more.
Simple concept, right?
If that sounds interesting to you, just
try to find the' Link Project Wiki',
to find under something like:
'linkprojectforthesakeofeveryone.fandom' and then .com.
That should work, i think.
Hope this comment isnt too random. Well, deal with
the randomness.
@@slevinchannel7589 Reeeeeee
He couldn't say it, because he would have to give him all the sins in the world
@@slevinchannel7589 I don't exactly think that relates to his comment though...
@@slevinchannel7589 who the hell asked.
This movie deserves a million sins from the fact alone that they made Mulan into a perfect person who never truly struggles. I'm sick and tired of movies making "strong female lead characters" just to pander some journalists, even if it means ruining the whole premise of the original character
Exactly. Besides, this Mulan isn't "strong". She's a superhuman being. The original Mulan was strong. She overcame her obstacles and grew as a human being, learning from her experiences, getting a bit better everytime. THAT is strength. Not the BS they pulled in that movie. No human being is like that. If they truly wanted to show a strong "female lead character", they would have shown the original Mulan.
The 2009 Chinese version actually shows us how Mulan deals with the fatigue of constant warfare and seeing her brothers in arms dying on the field of combat.
The original Mulan was a "strong female lead character" -- this isn't that. So... they were ALREADY making strong female leads and by removing that element of it, they actually created a WEAK female lead for this movie. So, maybe you should be less concerned with strong female leads and more concerned with how Disney failed to understand what a strong female lead is.
sexist writers do not understand what "strong female characters" are. they think it means "power fantasy character who cannot be beaten." sadly, they seem to have forgotten the basic definition of strong vs weak characters in writing. since most basic creative writing courses teach how to create strong characters, disney should maybe invest in some of those classes for its writers.
@@ikeekieeki I dunno, I think the bad/indifferent/lazy writing is more about how little respect most filmmakers now have for the intelligence of the audience. Everything Disney makes is written for the stupidest person in the room.
"Dishonor on you, dishonor on your cow" is the most accurate phrase to represent this pathetic excuse of a movie.
"What man would want to marry a literal Jedi?"
"All of them?"
Also, my dad used to walk up the mountain every morning to get buckets of water. And so did my mom. And so did every kid who grew up in Hong Kong or China. So your climbing up a mountain with a bucket of water means nothing.
Fr. I wished they kept the climbing up the pole with the weights because it showed intelligence and skill
I wished they showed that discipline and strength. This movie honestly didn't do shit
I'm from HK 2
and the 2 bunny scene is an Easter egg
every morning for training paratroopers have to sprint up and down a six mile mountain with gear, and they are complaining about some water
Not gonna lie, I am really disappointed that you guys didn’t do a sin counter for every time they said loyal, brave, or true. It’s enough for a drinking game at this point.
My bf and I made a drinking game out of the words chi and honor 😂
You’d die. 😂
Mulan 1998: With hard work and dedication, girls can do as well as boys!
Mulan 2020: Be born with superpowers! Don't forget to thank the concentration camp guards!
I feel like in animated Mulan, Mulan herself was far better and more awesome than this Mulan. In the animated movie she was likeable, respected for her great intelligence, uniqueness, and her compassion and love for her family and friends. This Mulan seems self-centered and like she was just given the movie luck that they're always given.
Facts
Disney you missed Mushu! You missed! How could you miss?! He was like 3 feet in front of you!
@Royal S lmao
You missed!!! How could you miss, he was like THREE FEET in front of YOU!!! - Mushu, when Mulan have shot a firework towards the mountain to cause avalanche and kill enemies.
I was mad that the new director was like “In real life people don’t break out into songs” when asked about the musical number but put a whole ass shapeshifter in her movie 😂 I def see shapeshifters everyday
You too?!
Aww, they always turn into tables and things before I get a glance.
In real life people don't break out into song? Director obviously doesn't know me...
Obviously the director hasn’t been around choir/theatre kids
Singing is definitely something that people who are going to war do and have done for like, forever. There's this thing called boosting moral.
"believe hua mulan" is disneys version of "im a dog too!"
I'm Spartacus And My Name Is Samuel
It's more metoo bullshit that wants youbto believe anything a woman ever says.
“I’m Radio Rebel”
Ha! Peabody and Sherman reference!
Bro when the animated movie seems more grounded and realistic than the live action you know you fucked up and that movie had a talking dragon
The biggest sin about this is that you didn’t even mention the fact that Disney thanked the guards that run the Chinese concentration camps in the credits.
He'll be demonitized. Chinese money- they own the World.
@@justtime6736 that’s not an acceptable excuse.
They did what???
@@robinantivar9223 In the credits, Disney gave special thanks to the Xinjiang Public Security Bureau. This government agency of Communist China has been sanctioned by the US Government as they are responsible for overseeing the imprisonment and "re-education" of over a million Uyghur Muslims in basically concentration camps. The movie was also partially filmed in Xinjiang, where these camps are run.
@@MetallicaRules Disney fucking sucks
This movie took Shang, and replaced him with not Shang.
*I hate it.*
The only reason why they did this was to be more realistic
@@christiancolon8748 What?
@@VladDascaliuc yeah they wanted to do something more serious that's why they got rid of mushu, crikey and those three guys
It wasn't for the realism. It was because they thought it was insensitive after the "Me Too" movement to portray a relationship between a woman and her superior (which is something pretty realistic).
@@mariohotelbestgame1050 oh yes because realism was their top priority this can be seen by the dudes running up walls and the witch lady that can turn into a hawk
MATTHEW MERCER'S DMING MADE IT INTO A REDUB OF A SCENE?!!
“Is... is this a tease for Mulan 2?” Bro I wasn’t expecting that 😂😂😂
You forgot the "this movie exist" sin.
original Mulan: you can be whatever you want to be and even do it your own way
new Mulan: you can be whatever you want to be as long as you are born with magic powers if not your only purpose is to be married like her sister
Uh… no that’s not what this movie is trying to say at all, it still has the original message, mulan just has chi because it’s more faithful to the original Chinese legend.
16:48 how did you miss the sin for that awkward moment of Liu Yifei just REACHING UP ABOVE HER PRAYING FOR THE BIRD TO FALL INTO HER HANDS, man i died so hard laughing right there
The way he said"powerful" was really funny 😂😂
I'd forgive this film entirely if Eddie Murphy just randomly showed up in a dragon onesie and baited a sequel. Preferably a onesie reminiscent of his delirious get up
*SKIP*
“It is forbidden to use the power of chi in destructive ways.” Mulan has an amazing midi-chlorian count. She will bring balance to the chi...
Underrated comment
She is the chosen on...
if you think about it, star wars is just Chinese myth legend stuff, just in space and with 'laser swords'
@@yeetusdelete0 no, not really
Lmfao 🤣
If the army is focused on the silk road how will I get my drugs- DING
You had the perfect opportunity for bonus sins this video! Everytime Mushu was supposed to be in a scene but wasn't. Or something Mushu-related 😂
Didn’t they say that they wanted to make the remake more “realistic”?
No, just closer to the actual myth and not the Disney movie, which everyone assumed without even thinking.
@@livingphantom and it's not closer
@@livingphantom It’s not even close by a long shot. The original version is more bloody and darker. Mulan goes off to war for many years and loses her humanity because so many of her friends died in the war. Then returns home after the war and the end.
@@livingphantom ohhhhhhh
@@KhanMann66 returns home after the war and refusing a promotion given by the emperor, then she pretends that nothing ever happened and married a nobody, then made a party and invited her friends from the army and THEN they realise she was a woman all along. They never knew she was not a man and never discovered her during her time in the army.
"Khan has our army focused on the silk road..." Nitpicking but still a sin: The silk road was a network of trade relationships and routes between the east and the west. In this movie they keep using the term like it was one ancient highway.
Depending on the country, in some areas, it was just a single road/route. But where she is at...yea it would have been a network. It usually went to a single road in the vast dessert area, and in a small section in the middle east where it would pass through the Constantinople area.
Fushigi Yuugi got it right. What's Disney's excuse?
Oh yay, actual historical facts, diggin' it!
Making a movie on the backs of a culture suffering from genocide is the only sin you need to put up.
Free the Uyghurs!
go and learn what "chi" is before you movie ... what is wrong with this film? .. the question is what is right?! because everything is wrong.
Me: “I’ve finally watch Mulan 2020”
Other: “You’ve pay $30 for it on Disney +?”
Me: “Nope”
Other: “You’ve waited for it to be free on Disney+?”

Other: “Well then, how?”
Me: “Everything Wrong with Mulan 2020”

You can’t watch a movie by seeing a few scenes spread across a UA-cam video. The same way you can’t read a book by only knowing the plot points. You’re missing the entire experience lol
@@livingphantom Was there even any experience with this movie to begin with? Also, please don't @ me cuz I am not in the mood or quite possibly will ever be to write a lengthy comment arguing with you.
@@livingphantom I watched it NO MUSHU WORST MOVIE OF 2020 And Your Just STUPID
This is the closest ill ever get to watching this disappointment of a movie. Even the lion king remake was better than this and I still hated that too. But the hatred if feel for the fact they didn't really try to do this movie justice is immense. As I read in a different comment somewhere, if this movie was shown on a plane, I'd still walk out.
The two hares are from the original poem. They’re supposed to be a metaphor for how, when seeing them both hopping, you can’t make the distinction between their genders. It’s a beautiful way of representing equality. The fact that the movie puts it like an easter egg and yada yadas them is a *sin*
And not only did they breezed through it like it was nothing special, they put it NEAR THE BEGINNING!
What made that part of the poem so good was this it was Mulan's last line after she reveals to her army brothers, when they visited her home after the war, that she was a woman the entire time.
THAT'S what makes it such a good line!
What's the name of the original poem?
@@metalliccheese2967 Ballad of Mulan
@@metalliccheese2967 In the original, she both did have some experience in fighting AND was known to be clever.
She was never caught as a woman. Her brother at arms just found out when they visited her home AFTER the war. Which lead to her talking about the two Hares.
Other adaptations mention she has a sister and a younger brother(that's why may be why she had a dog name little brother in the original Disney film) who was too young to join the war.
One where she became a general and almost was married off someone's daughter- which would have been a funny parallel to the match maker scene. (they just became friends after the reveal)
And the darkest one where the emperor decided to make her one of his concubines, and she decided to commit suicide.
As far as I know none of the adaptations mentioned chi/Ki, witches(because they had sorceress, whom they actually respect), or spiritual guardians like a dragon or Phoenix.
So a story solely on a girl leaving home and the high expectations of a woman to learn the high expectations of a man. Then bonding with the men, becoming army brothers, with no one becoming a romantic interest- as far as I know.
All to protect her family, while saving china in the process- And NEVER getting caught during the war, was what I- someone who knew a bit of the ballad, expected Disney to do.
@@UsonoHoushi that’s your first mistake, thinking that Disney would respect even an iota of the source material
