That's garbage. Shang was awesome. This movie is not a remake, it's an alternate adaptation.

This would've been a great "woke" opportunity for Disney to have him come to terms with his feelings for whom he thought was a man.
But I guess Twitter brownie points counts for more these days.

Mulan is a strong independent woman who needs no man.

Wouldn't it be better just to...not make him a love interest?

It's not like he knew she was even a woman for most the movie or was wanting to bang her for most the movie anyways.

Rumor:

Disney knows Li Shang is a bisexual icon. A number of fans believe Shang was falling for Ping. Honestly, I used to joke about it too especially after this scene



Disney doesn't want to deal with LGBTQ and took Shang out of the picture.

Makes sense but I still feel it's better to just alter the character so it's more shown as respect for a fellow soldier or a mentor role than taking the character out entirely

But I guess they dont want to even come close to the line with the chinese market

It does make sense if they were scared for some reason. Still a dumb decision. The movie shouldn't be made if they were going to change it so much.

If they were going for a historically accurate adaptation then it may be more forgivable but I swaer I saw live action Mulan running along a wall as if this was crouching Tiger.

It is supposed to match up with the real legend more closely.

To be real, I really wanted a Chinese hearthrob represented in Hollywood. That is Shang main claim to fame other than his awesome song. He was a character Asian kids could look up to.

True, but there was no abuse of power for sexual favors by a superior officer in Mulan either

I was expecting Donnie Yen to play him, but he doesn't quite have Shang's stature.

You're right. This Disney announcement is vapid posturing to appeal to a woke consumer base

EDIT: In fact you'll find similar posturing in the Beauty and the Beast remake

Don't blame "woke" people for this. I don't see many "woke" people complaining about their relationship. What some people do think he is bi-since some people think he started to like her as Ping. So that wasn't going to play in China. So that is who this is for .

In fairness, that's a good point and the love story of the cartoon was very unnecessary.

Unfortunately the only thing people remember from that cartoon is Shang's awesome song of manly manliness.

This shit seems like a Dumbo style trainwreck.

It's ok. Disney is making the most money in the industry by a very wide margin. They can weather several shit fests a year, like in 2019. Dumbo, Maleficent 2 and Rise of Skywalker. And even then, they still all profited.

But I'm more confused on why the flying fuck a white woman is making this movie. Disney acts like they're the shit when it comes to progressiveness, but they seem like bitches when you think about it. Why not just get an Asian director to make an Asian movie? So fucking weird.
