this is so good!!!!! it feels like an idea that was too ambitious for the original movie, and I love how it was expanded upon and breathed into life here. poor mulan's identity crisis is going insane, "she was always inspired by the men in her father's stories and wished she could do that as a girl" and I am eating it up" — Jul 30, 2026 11:09AM
