The crux of the movie is actually Mushu changing the order Li Shang gets telling them they have to deploy to the front immediately even though that's a terrible idea, because he wants to give Mulan the opportunity for a medal (Thus inadvertently saving China)

It does confirm that Mulan's fears about her father were exaggerated, like they can't be the only family in this situation and she's been grouped with everyone else who sent someone who was fat or old or otherwise would've been judged unfit to serve in peacetime

That's also why Li Shang fast tracks Mulan's discharge ("Pack up, go home, you're through"), not because she's that much more unfit than the other fuckups in her class but because Mushu has gotten her caught cheating multiple times

One of those things where he's decided it'd be easier to wash her out now than court-martial her at some point down the line

Disney Mulan wasn't my favorite movie but, I can't believe I'm saying this, I'm kind of sad the new one has no Mushu In the general sense that Mulan seems to now be a supersoldier from the very beginning rather than starting as the loser protagonist of a boot camp comedy

Eh, probably inevitable result of a shift to a conventional heroic drama.

Ironically this is the complaint in China about the new Mulan, that they *have* plenty of conventional heroic Mulan movies and what they were interested in was the Disney movie version

It didn't look *bad* or anything, but I have to admit all the latest Disney/Marvel trailers look Real Generic.

the Black Widow one was some real cringe and looked to have been put together by a soulless committee of low-grade AIs using a Markov chain fed generic Portentous Statements about Family and Past
