noah fence but whoever made the choice to leave shang out of the Mulan remake can meet me in the cut y’all cannot seriously be attempting to tell me they’re going to destroy one of the most positive and badass Disney relationships and fuck up the most badass iconic feminist Disney movies by replacing CAPTAIN LI SHANG w some kid who is jealous of and bullies Mulan/Ping until he realizes she has a vagina he can fuck , in order to avoid any controversy over Shang being potentially bisexual. my woc warrior deserves so much better.
So I got all excited about Mulan again and promptly found out that they cut out her love interest, Li Shang, and replaced him with a new soldier character who views Mulan as a rival until he realises she is a woman and then falls in love with her.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t the whole point of the original romance starting when Mulan was still disguised as a man to drive home the point that Shang fell in love with who Mulan is *inside*? Taking out all the queer politics that comes with such a high profile movie, isn’t THAT message the driving force of this movie? I mean, “Reflection” is all about being who she is INSIDE, and you’re telling me that the new LI only falls for her when he realises she’s a girl? :/
Talk about mixed messages. Disney is so afraid that Shang is going to be labelled queer that they’d rather just dilute the entire point of the movie. >_<
