      The best thing about Old Mulan was just totally crushing that gung-ho soldier spirit into the dirt with the ruins of the sacked village at the end of "A Girl Worth Fighting For" NuLan turns this scene into a perfunctory afterthought and is in the end gung-ho as fuckhttps://twitter.com/sadydoyle/status/1337932361686781952 …

      Finally watching “Edge of Tomorrow,” and Tom Cruise is hitting that “panicky, sweaty coward”/Gaius Baltar archetype that evidently always works for me. Really enjoy war movies that are just regular dudes crying and wondering why they have to be in a war.

      Christ it's so much MORE pro-military than OG Mulan Mulan's dad openly tells her that "qi is only to be wielded by warriors" She has fucking magic superpowers that can only be used for supersoldier action scenes and nothing else It explicitly ends with her staying in the army

      Awful Just fucking awful The original, ancient Ballad of Mulan, for all that it disappoints people looking for a feminist message, didn't buy into that garbage She comes home and she puts her armor away and puts on a dress because, thank the gods, the war is over

          NOT a good look to make a paean to supersoldiers finding that their true destiny is and always has been slaughtering hundreds of people in an orgy of glorious, beautiful violence In cooperation with an authoritarian state *using your film shoot* to justify concentration camps

          It's one of those "holy shit" moments when you watch the cartoon as an adult and you realize the avalanche scene -- the equivalent of Mulan unleashing a WMD, a strategic bombing -- *kills most of the Chinese army too* She's so terrified and out of options she slaughters EVERYONE

          The equivalent of the 1938 Yellow River flood when the Chinese army bombed their own dams and drowned a million of their own people and condemned millions more to starvation that winter by destroying a province's worth of farmland, to stop the Japanese advance

          And the live-action just takes the air out of that completely Mulan starting the avalanche gives her a little cat smile of triumph rather than a look of adrenaline-fueled panic and rage The oddly small Chinese regiment all heroically and improbably survive the aftermath

          It's amazing that in 1998 these people making a kids' movie seriously thought through the pitfalls of making a movie whose implicit message is "War is a great way to become a hero and transcend repressive gender roles" and felt like they were obligated to subvert it

          And these dopes making a "mature, realistic" remake of that movie in 2020 totally just dropped the ball on that War is awesome, only warriors can "wield qi" or whatever, if someone in your life wants to join the Marines you're an asshole if you try to talk them out of it
