    Honestly in the version in my head MULAN is her OWN "male lead." What's the Chinese translation for "Bechdel Test" again?https://twitter.com/benjikuo/status/785545217860481025 …

    I always thought it suspicious that Disney launched a worldwide casting call for Mulan but no Asian male lead...

      Yes, I see Mulan like Katniss from Hunger Games. Men are side characters. She is the lead.

      @benjikuo The original story is an old one--no white male in sight--can't Disney let women be strong in their own stories?

      Agree with you! Adding to it, Mulan doesn't needs a love interest, Asian or not, to be an awesome female character.

        Is the version in your head the Chinese live action version made in 2009? Because it sounds like it.

      That would be difficult - the original Mulan story have no other female character.
