You know, one thing i like about Mulan is how Yao, Ling and Chien Po don’t really seem to care about the fact that Mulan is a girl.
I mean, when they find out, they are visibly perplexed
But even so, they rush and try to help her when she’s about to get killed
After this, they all seem quite depressed about having to leave her behind (and when Shang ignores her)
And when she shows up and takes action, they gladly follow her lead
And they even rock some crossdressing, like she did
(btw they just missed a great opportunity to make Shang crossdress here, shame on you movie)
Honestly, i just think this needs more appreciation. Because to them, Mulan didn’t have to prove herself again, just because she is a girl. She already earned their friendship and respect when she was ‘Ping’, and that was enough.
biologists in the pokemon universe are fuckin idiots. imagine excluding entire countries’ worth of animals and saying “yeah these are all the species in the world”. and these arent even like. undiscovered continents. each of these countries has enough history to show that it’s been populated for countless generations. fuckin professor oak or whatever professor is just straight up neglecting to include entire continents in his research papers
The first 4 Generations aren’t even different countries, just different regions in the SAME country. And according to the remakes have known about each other for ages. Which makes it worse.
