Disney has had a lot of financial success in recent years by remaking their popular animated movies into live-action versions (or super realistic animated versions.) With billions of dollars made so far, it’s only natural that they’ve decided to keep moving through their catalog. And so… live-action Mulan is here!
The remake lots of questions. Like why has all the fun been removed from this thing? Why is Mushu gone, only to be replaced with a whole bunch of other magical stuff? Why is this a superhero movie now? Why was Mulan born with superhuman abilities? What’s up with the witch character telling her where to go all the time? Why aren’t any of her army friends fun anymore? Did she just kick an arrow into that dude’s chest?!?
To answer all these questions and more, step inside the Pitch Meeting that led to Disney’s live-action Mulan! It’ll be super easy, barely an inconvnience.

90s Mulan: untrained, but determined to show her worth.
2020 Mulan: The one.
Its like rocky but instead of training montage, he just go around one puching everyone
Even Neo worked for his superpowers.
@@fidget0227 and he mentions Anakin in here, but the big difference is that even though Anakin was the most powerful force user born, he still had flaws and weaknesses
I can hardly stand to watch a movie or series these days. What happened to good writing?😥
she killed off all the other Mulans to absorb all their power, she has truly become the one XD
Her character arc wasn't an arc. It wasn't even a straight line. It was just a dot. She stayed exactly the same from start to finish.
David Graves I agree for the bad ones. But most of the well made ones have great character development and storylines (:
Francine Siew Fearless by Jet Li first comes to mind! Next level character development
@@DavidGravesExists filmed in china and made by americans*
She's just the freaking Chose One.
She could literally never ever lose.
Wow.
I've seen Manga that were way better than this character arc...
"She's not gonna grow into a warrior through cunning and hard work and perseverance?"
"No, sir. She's just the Chosen One."
"And what message do you think that's gonna be sending to kids?"
"That they should've been the Chosen One."
Wow wow wow wow....wow.
"Fair enough"
I guess this is a superhero movie now
Shes going to kill the kids because shes the chosen one
@@lucascorazza2252 Oh sh-!
It's weirdly impressive how this movie managed to anger EVERY side of the culture war at once.
When you pander to everyone you end up pleasing nobody.....such a paradigm altering idea I know.
China liked it.
And you'd think they'd know after The Last Jedi
@@mrnobody6609 Afaik the CCP also didn't like it. Not only did Disney appropriate and distort a treasured Chinese legend, the fact that Mulan is now just born as the chosen one also breaks with the egalitarian idea that every person is born equally valuable, which is a central pillar of communist ideology. Superior hero bloodlines don't really sit well there.
So yeah, they did piss off everyone.
@@danielschroedinger2090 but if u know Mulan in the true legend is actually a good warrior since childhood
She still had to learn tho
“She should wear armor.”
She’s already wearing the plot armor.
that is...the best armor there is.
All kindzzz
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🙆♂️💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
LMAO
Watch 2009 film.
"Contains Spoilers"
Me: Yeah, don't care. Shred it, Ryan.
Yeah, I feel like I've seen enough, and he saved me $7/month plus $30 to _lease_ a Disney movie that was released in 1998. Great pitch!
Exactly!!
Neither do I.
my thoughts exactly.
i don’t like this movie
I love how her long hair shows she’s a woman even though in Confucian China men and women had long hair. They did literally no research for this movie lol
For real
Dude you might want to do some reasearch yourself, "Confucian China" is not a historic period...
@@konsta9600 it's a cultural tradition in which men had long hair. your point?
@@sarasthoughts Yes, but my point was that you can't really say "in Confucian China" indicating a historical period. Confucianism is still influental in China. And was before the period this movie is placed.
So you could say aswell that in "Confucian China" men have short hair (talking about today).
@@konsta9600 With the context given I'd say it makes sense
Fair to assume they're talking of a practice in the time period of the movie.
“Compares her to a dog”
Fun fact: dogs actually hold sacred meaning to Mongolians
I extremely doubt the ‘researchers’ at Disney knew that, or would have cared even if they you told them
I can't believe they turned the most character-driven Disney Princess into a Mary Sue
nobody is even commenting this comment since there's nothing to be add. You're right, we're done, Disney is done. still making a lot of money though.
The dark side is a path to many abilities...
The new Star Wars trilogy made lots of money and Rey was a Mary Sue, so why shouldn't Mulan?
@@jamesbalch1325 because the new mulan did'nt...
There have been a lot of mary sue characters lately. Why does hollywood think people want to see that? You could cut the film in the first 5 seconds and miss nothing. We get it. Shes good at everything.
He watched it so we didn't have to. He's the hero we need.
.. But don't deserve.
@@berengustav7714 ... and he'll keep watching them, because he can take it.
@@marcor.cacereslopez3050 Because he's not our hero. He's a silent reviewer. A watchful satirist...
@@salerac6496 What makes him a hero.
Yeah I don’t know The Dark Knight’s script word for word so I can’t play along. Sorry 😐
Mulan's expressions:
Happy 😐
Sad 😐
Angry 😐
Concerned 😐
Scared 😐
Just like Ray and Captain Marvel.
Damn, she really is Anakin, huh. On the plus side, there's no sand.
The actress that played Mulan should have just worked on las vegas, she probably is really good at poker.
The actress that played her tho is good at no expressions
I saw her in a drama
Disney cherrypicks everytime and I'm pretty sure they wanted that
@@gsiya4023 She can't act to save her life, not since the early 2000s when she landed her early starring roles. She has roughly one expression in every TV show and movie she's done for 2 decades. I reckon she got the role through knowing important people. She's not very popular in China and she can't act. Makes no sense that Disney picked her. She's Chinese-American though. Maybe they wanted a Chinese-American lead because representation and all that stuff.
This pitch meeting actually made the movie sound better than it really is.
Yeah WAY better than it actually is. I think if it was original it would have been good
"Spoilers Ahead"
Me: Yeah, I dont plan on watching the movie. Spoil away.
We’ve seen all the good bits anyway!
“Spoil away”
Two words I never thought I would ever say about a movie. But I am saying them now
Same same
As people have said: "I wouldn't even waste the data on pirating it."
@@papertroll1876 there are good bits??
“So wouldn’t Mulan’s father just have been so sent home if he had gone?”
“Oh my god”
So good
I think they wrote the whole story in a drunken night
He wouldn't have been in training because he was a war veteran. Training camp was for newbies.
So a dishonorable discharge? Can't imagine why that would be seen as a problem.
@@vctrsigma Is that what happened in medieval Chinese armies when soldiers got injured?
"Why doesnt he just shoot her again?"
"Because theres an emotional scene going on"
what a silly question everybody knows bad guys will wait patiently for you to have an emotional scene even in a fight

@Former Auror It’s less ridiculous then having magic powers.
I can hear Mushu ranting on this movie.
“Dishonor on you! Dishonor on your cow.”
Don’t you mean cash cow.
I’m taking notes on this!
"Dishonor on you. Dishonor on your cash cow. Dishonor on your whole franchise!"
Although I haven't watched this movie, but I somehow get the feeling that this one joke brings people more fun than the entire movie does...
Dishonor on superheroes! Dishonor on Jedi! Dishonor on TRON Ascendency!
Mulan has got to be my favorite Disney movie. Because it was heavily based on the original folk lore of Milan but also had its own creativity like adding Mushu and the Cricket, and giving all these characters pleasant personalities that made it more enjoyable to watch. Milan didn’t have powers, she wasn’t a Mary Sue. She was a normal girl who only wanted to help her father because if he had gone, he could be killed. And she knew she was going to be killed if she got caught yet she did it anyways which is what shows her incredible mindset. And as she grew as a character, so did the other characters. They all messed up, had a hard time with training, and struggled to get through with things but over time they ALL became physically strong, smarter, and better fit for the reason they were all there, to fight in a war. It wasn’t Milan holding up the whole team. And the love story was so subtle yet precious I adored it. It was a good movie that showed healthy feminism and girl power without just shoving it down your throat.
And then they remade it and now the children of the future will likely only watch the remake because ooo magic.
you wrote her name as "milan" a couple of times after getting it right the first time
@@user-insight well the u is right next to the i
@@user-insight Good, the name had been tarnished forever by this movie now, so just like kids making up PG swear words, we have to make up a new name for the original movie and the character and the original tale, because otherwise it'd be an insult
The animated movie is no more "heavily based" on the original folklore than the live-action.
@Bernie's Mittens What you just described has nothing to do with feminism. A strong PERSON is someone who fights through setbacks and earns their victory. Its not "feminist storytelling" just because the protagonist is female. No part of the story is about fighting for gender equality and none of the movies were meant as a "feminist" stories. Mulan is a role model for her bravery, love and unselfishness, but she is not a feminist icon.
“So were are we going to film this thing”
“Oh I was thinking we could do it right next to a literal concentration camp were a genocide is occurring”
“That might affect our brand image and Make us lose money”
“Nah I am sure no one will notice”
And actually nobody cares. Did they go bankrupt? No. Im sure they lost a few million because of boycotts, but they have billions.
people were outraged for like...1 week and then it disapeared.
@@dakat5131 I didn't watch it because of this.
And going on its box office results, others might have done the same.
I'm sorry - what concentration camp are we talking about?
@@marc0523 China has concentration camps which ethincally cleanse and torture Uygher Muslims. Women are raped, abused and forcefully sterilized(I don't know the proper word but basically make sure they can't reproduce). Men and women are used as force labour and such. all of it is said to be reducation centres which is all a facade. Hopefully this helped
“So wouldn’t Mulans father just been sent home if he had gone?”
🤯🤯🤯🤯
you know its bad when Writer-Ryan doesnt say Woopsie just utter shock... ahaha
Well, it's possible he may have been able to fake it for the first week or so. Remember Mulan's regiment got called into battle before they were finished training. Although, I can't imagine that Dad would have been able to even attempt the water bucket challenge up that mountain.
Concepcion30 a crippled old veteran wouldnt even be able to go halfway up the mountain even without the water buckets
to be fair that was also an issue with the original movie.
Solus except in the original he wouldn’t have been sent back and most likely wouldve been sent to the frontline as cannon fodder
“are they gonna have fun personalities like in the animation?”
“no cause that would be fun.”

I love how no one knew how to act in that movie, yet Disney decided to charge $30 to watch it on the streaming service everyone was already paying for
i wonder how many people actually pay for it. Imagine being head of disney and watch this happening
Donnie Yen carried this movie really, the only character I liked, although Bori Khan's actor was pretty good too
I feel that there is a misconception among movie makers lately, where strong compelling characters can't have flaws or fail at anything.
Whamen are ALWAYS STRONG and INDEPENDENT and they don’t fall in love with their captains🤣
only a handshake as "equals"🤣🤣🤣
Just Disney films maybe.
It feels like a teenager overcompensating due to a lack of experience. It's just very rich grown adults who've discriminated for years now trying to make it seem like they totally never would do that.
Especially not women. As if it's more affirming to females to make a main female character magically flawless because she has a uterus. Nope, not demeaning to women at all.
@@Canadish More like people who got rich by preaching a "message", so they have no idea they're contradicting it by their actions.

"Sounds like maybe she should have turned into a thousand bats on that one."

Ryan missed the part where instead of china bowing to her, she becomes the emperor's bodyguard...
Did that actually happen?
At this point, i think that Disney is making these trash movies just so The Pitch Meetings can be even better.
The live-action remakes are the best thing to ever happen to Screenrant.
@@MegamanXfan21xx True.
Cultural demoralization.

It seems more like to keep their creative licenses on the characters but maybe they got some shares in Screen Rant, who knows.
“They’re basically violent theater students.”

I watched it with 6 people in my living room, we were excited about it, not knowing how bad it was. When the credits rolled at the end, everyone sat there in silence and my friend went: "can we watch Mulan now?"
The animated Mulan was great! It inspired me to get into sports when I was a tiny weird child!
The new Mulan inspired me to stay indoors and not try, because I wasn’t born a super hero.
This is a dishonor to all of our cows.
Omg the mushu statment dishonor to your cows 😂
Amen. 😥
(🤣😂🤣)
DISHONOR ON YOU, DISHONOR ON YOUR COW, DIS-
especially for removing Mushu
Lol I saw this same comment in another page by someone else!!
I’ll stick with the original animated one, it’s more realistic.
That is the most underrated comment I not even talking bout in this video, just in general about this movie as a whole
Yeah, animated movie has really dragon and still felt more grounded, that is really saying something.
Why stick with it? The animated movie isn't original in itself.
Chrioni Sta Ana depends on the context that ‘original’ was used. In this case the ‘original’ refers to Disney’s first creation of the story. Their original adaptation as opposed to this live action one.
The 2009 film is more realistic. A talking dragon is realistic? Lol. You Disney fanboys are really butthurt over this?
Good point about Mulan's dad probably being sent home if he had gone.
They should make a sequel to this. They can give her force healing, a bankai, instant transmission, and the regenerative powers of Cell.
Dont forget the domain expantion.

I hope they're gonna call this Disney era "the creatively bankrupt age".
Considering both the fact that we came off of (and use as a crutch) the golden era, and your actual name, I feel the Tarnished Age is more apt-
How about the tainted age since all of those Disney sequels were a thing.
Creativity is the only area they're bankrupt in so I don't think they'll even care at this point
I would call it that.
An amazing number of creative plays on words in this comment subsection...
"Mulan has a pretty emotional moment..."
*cut to Mulan's emotionless facial expression*
4:08 - I was complaining to myself about her teleportation while watching the movie. This whole video is tight.
2000: "I can't wait to see the live-action adaptation"
2020:
"I can't wait to see the pitch-meeting adaptation"
It will stream like all other movies on Disney+ on Dec 4th 2020... you just have to pay extra between Sep and Dec if you want to see it earlier.
Wrong. Nobody was ever excited for the live-action adaptations
@@noodlesmaster69420 I was. At first :'(
When the pitch meeting is better than the actual movie.
That’s just bad movies in general.
*real pitch meeting
Let's be honest, that's the case with at least half of these pitch meetings. Probably more.
SithCats Honestly, live action Aladdin was really good imo. As long as they don’t mess up Tangled, I’m fine with these remakes.
@@Istromus these remakes are just unoriginal cash grabs that disney want to use to milk the popular animations. none of the live action remakes add much new stuff. but i wouldn't have a problem with them remaking animations like atlantis: the lost empire and treasure planet
I heard somewhere also that, by having the "normal" sister just continue to serve her common duty, this also shows young girls that if they aren't especially gifted, they're less important. I agree with that. The sister probably shouldn't have been made...much like this movie in general
"She's freaking Maybelline." Love it. Took me a second to get that though.
took me 9 months
I don't get it!!! 😭
This actually kinda makes me want to watch Mulan, the animated movie.
that was disney's plan all the time. Now you see the strings!
I was showing this to my gf, after 10m of watching it I swapped to the animated one
To be honest, after watching Mulan..I just wish I haven't watch it and wanted to watch the animated cartoon Mulan.
same I will be rewatching it instead. lol
Got the urge after watching this Pitch Meeting and hearing a friend say they couldn’t make it through 30 minutes without falling asleep.
90s Mulan: has character, establishes herself as a heroine by persevering and ensuring her father's safety and is able to accept herself for who she is while also improving herself.
2020 Mulan: got the chi. Yep chi.
Exactly. Plus she has Ultra Instinct.
she dont need no armour too
Pretty much all the female characters of the 80s and perhaps early 90s weren't a load of bullshit, had kickass attitude, and were more real than anything on the screen in these super PC days.
Very Progressive 😑
She's a newtype!
I really loved this episode, I'm instantly hooked! By the way...
Dishonor on you Disney! Dishonor on your cash cows! Dishonor on all of the critics that actually liked this crap! And Dishonor on all of those Disney remakes! May every dishonor push them deeper into a grave of no return!
If there is anything good that came from this, it's how I discovered Screen Rant's Pitch Meetings.
“She’s not gonna because she learned the art of the dramatic entrance, now”
“fair enough”
Message of the movie: "If you are the chosen one, act Like the chosen one."
Isn't that inspiring to all the little chosen ones?
I always say “if you’re not the chosen one then make yourself the chosen one.”
@Brian Cairns Oh yeah, because people who are genius tend to be very low-key about it...
Well, Producer Guy would know. He's also the Chosen One. Like Neo, in the Matrix. He can't wear leather. But he'll be Co-President of the USA one day!
So he knows all about that being chosen stuff.
@Brian Cairns Reclusive doesn't mean nobody knows you're a genius. In fact, in order to be a recluse, historically, you either have to be rich or so good at something that people will tolerate or even facilitate this type of behavior. Isaac Newton, for example, was a recluse everybody knew was a genius.
@Brian Cairns "all" is pretty strong word. I'm pretty sure there were a bunch of "great thinkers" that were extraverted and/or a show off
“All her special jedi powers”

Nice one. One minor point: Some medieval siege weapons had fire rates measured in rounds per day Depending on the weapon, you could get quite a bit done between shots. Of course, if we're going with realism, you wouldn't use those weapons against anything except cities, so...
Yes, but these guys use counterweight catapults, and fairly small ones, too ( 3:48). Those can easily be reloaded in two minutes, maybe four if you have a small team: pull down throwing arm (there's a rope attached to the end), secure with an iron pin, stick a second explosive into the sling, pull pin, rinse and repeat until you run out of explosives.

All jokes aside, the premise of a woman being a villain, despite being very powerful/talented, simply because someone offered her a chance to fit in with society, and her taking abuse because “soon she’ll be accepted when the villain accomplishes his goals” would be an amazing story, and I want someone to write that.
That's "My Little Pony: The Movie", if I remember correctly.
I read in an article that why they didn't want to add Mushu in the live action movie, it was becuase they were going for "realistic" approach. Yup very realistic to see a women turning into a bird.
And because dragons are respectful figures in China.
So yeah, because China brings Disney tons of money.
I think I heard that Disney were told to remove Mushu because dragons are meant to be respected!
To tell the true, this movie is enough disrespectfull against whole China!

@@axisboise "Hey guys we need an Asian princess for diversity points"
"Well we don't have an Asian princess, but we have is Mulan, who is a beloved character in her own right without being a princess"

"Isn't that kind of dishonest and condescending?"
"Yes but having a well-written character isn't the good representation people have been asking for"
"It's....it's not?"
"No, they don't want well-written characters, they just want toys that are identical except for their skin color and facial features. Trust me, Harvey Weinstein and I were talking about this last week."
EDIT: It has now come to my attention that Princess Jasmine exists and (obviously) is Asian, so they did, in fact, have an Asian princess from a different culture. (Sorry Aladdin was never one of my favorites and I forgot about Jasmine)

Wasn't there a conversation in the movie where she said that she didn't have any expressions 🤣
Mando from The Mandalorian emotes better than she does, and he wears a helmet for 99% of the show!
This was my first Pitch Meeting.
I have now watched all of them.
It's still one of the best.
Before I watched this Pitch Meeting, I tried to watch the movie. During that scene where she uses her magic superpowers to flip and jump and glide and slide all over her little village, I was like "They're going to be mad at her and say that's boy stuff even though there's not a boy on the planet who could do any of that." And then that 's exactly what happened so I shut it off. Who has time for that?
"We want her to be a strong woman in this one."
"Sure, like in the original, through hard training, determination, effort and--"
"No, no, we don't want her to *get* strong, we want her to *be* strong!"
"Oh, like, right off the bat? No arc? Just like all the other strong women? Okay..."
Sad how much Hollywood likes this Mary Sue trope.
Even in Hua Mulan where she WAS better than most of the other characters... It was because she trained her entire life under the tutelage of one of the greatest masters. Her reason for joining the army was as much to save her father, who would have been killed due to his asthma, as it was because she knew she was the best for the job. Also her falling inlove with the general was a like more sweet because she liked him because he was caring and compassionate (For example, he... as the general... Would fill in for guards who needed rest).
.
Suffice it to say I like Hua Mulan better than this movie.
@@Nionivek Hua Mulan (2009) was better because even though she was a better fighter than others, the film was about responsibility and the horrors of war, not proving oneself. Mulan still had flaws and tribulations to overcome. It's not strong women that are the problem, Disney just suck at writing.
@@flockinify I was saying that even though Hua Mulan was amazing, they went through lengths that made her a far better character than this movie's Mulan. There is a difference between a Mary Sue and a Paragon.
Oh hey, sounds like Rey! Thanks for ruining things Disney.
" emotional moment with the witch dying "
// Shows mulan's blank face // nice
Sadly, she showed more emotion in that scene than in the rest of the movie.
Mulan no curr
So true lol this actress can’t act with emotions.. her fighting scenes were good though.
Yeah, asian faces do be like that xD
😂😂
"They're basically violent theater students." Fantastic line
This made me so sad, the first Mulan brought me so much joy it was such a great movie
"She's frickin' Maybelline." "Oh, being born with it is tight." This is everything.
It had me on the floor in TEARS.
Forget using the Mary Sue description, I'm just going to call such characters Maybelline characters now!
There is NOT enough appreciation for that joke
I... I don’t get it, would someone mind letting me in on the joke?
@@brendonhavener It's a reference to old Maybelline commercials from the late 90's/early 2000's. He used a hook and punchline that was a complete blast from the past, you wouldn't understand unless you were from that era lol
“They’re basically violent theatre students.”
“Wowowowowowowow.”
Bless him for making something so good from something so bad.
"They're basically violent theater students."
Sir, you are awesome.
“We can film next to a Chinese concentration camp to save money too” “wow wow wow” actually happened.
Shut up white savior.
@@nathanielyee9203 shut up wu mao
@@thurin84 Actually the Chinese government only pay them 10 cents now, so they are yi mao, rather than wu mao (50 cents)
@@shang-hsienyang1284 hahaha well that make sense with their tanking economy lol. thanks for the update!
And they actually thank the people running the camp in the credits... So I guess Disney is openly supporting genocide, slave labor, forced sterilization involuntary organ harvesting and the rape of the prisoners wives now. Great positions for them to defend.
"She's freakin' Maybelline!"
"Oh, being born with it is tight!"
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Ryan with the galaxy brain jokes!
Hey! I actually recognize your picture/name from tumblr
"And what message do you think that's gonna be sending to kids?"
"I don't know, sir, but what I do know is that this is a superhero movie now."
"Oh, those make us money, so please keep going."
For some reason even though you use the line "it's barely an inconvenience" in every episode I still laugh every time 🤣
"She's straight up Maybelline."
"Being born with it is tight."
😂😂😂
Best part
Right there I paused the video, hit the like button, and resumed watching
A very guide-y witch 🤣🤣
My favorite joke in this one lol genius!!
Good writing
"Then Mulan has an emotional moment with the witch as she's dying...."
Mulan: stares a completely blank emotionless stare into her dying eyes
this is so funny because the actress's most famous character from a franchise is literally called “Emotionless”
Honestly, I wonder if she was being directed to give that performance, because I’ve heard she’s a pretty big star over in China.
Her acting range was pretty similar to all the animals from the Lion King 2019.
@@TF2Fan101 I think you answered your own question.
@@TF2Fan101 She is popular in China because she is really pretty, and she got a few ethereal fairy-like characters which doesn't require much of an emotional range.
Mulan in 1998: Hard work makes good work
Mulan in 2020: Me have powers, me cool
"...She's freakin Maybelline." "Oh being born with it is tight!"
And with that, we now have the latest best 'is tight!' quote in the series 🥇👏🏾😂🤣
"Cuz if they don't live up to his expectations they get sent home"
"So wouldn't have Mulan's Dad just gotten sent home?"
"......... oh my God!"
🤣🤣🤣 ffr
@Rafael Garcia Instead his daughter fought in his place, dishonoring the family forever.
tbh, that was a minor plot hole in the original animated movie. Mulan's dad would've been sent home because of his age, meaning Mulan shouldn't need to do a thing (and she could've gone home too when she was deemed "unsuited for war", but I guess her own honor is more important for her dad's and her own's safety)
(realistically in ancient China, men don't get sent home just because they're not as tough since the army needs every man they could find...so Mulan has good reasons to save her father)
@@analyticalalchemist3298 got em
@Rafael Garcia Haven't seen or intend on paying to see it, but did neighbors and other townfolk make a deal about if someone didn't go they be dishonour and backs turned etc during the film. If not then the threat of dishonor is somewhat a empty threat within the film if it's not shown as having social consequences to those who fall under it.
@@jinhunterslay1638 no he wouldn't, he'd already served so he would have gone with General Lee rather than remaining at the training camp. Chi Fu clearly doesn't think his age excludes him.
“Idk sir, but what I know is that this is a super hero movie now”
“Oh, those make us money so please continue”
I loved those lines
"So wouldn't Mulan's father have been send home if he had gone"... Oh my god. 🤣😂 That got me
The maybelline reference 😂
Gong Li (the witch) is gorgeous. 😍
In a real war, people don't randomly burst into song.
But they do have magical powers. Good to know.
I mean some soldier have cadences and do sing when not in battle so, again, Disney lacks any understanding.
*Cough* Zulu *cough*
People back then are afraid of black magic and so magic tricks was used to win war and battle. But then for some people to realize such logic is too much critical thinking for them. Back to simpleton village.
But of course! Little known fact, General Patton was a necromancer. You don't hear that a lot in the documentaries but he totally raised the dead during the Battle of the Bulge.
Well duh. Saving Private Ryan was basically 80% magic
I was expecting a comment on Mulan's suddenly existing sister going like:
"Oh she has a sister, huh? What's she like"
"Well, she's afraid of spiders"
"... That's it?"
"That's it."
"Huh."
Lmao I heard him say that
"That works"
“They’re basically violent theater students.”
🤣🤣🤣
„She‘s Maybelline“ LMFAO!!!!❤😂
"So wouldn't Mulan's father just have been sent home if he had gone?"
"OMG!"
