The Legend of Mulan

This seems like an ambiguous article. On the one side, they get angry that the movie script features a white guy who will essentially take over the agency of the title character (which is a fair point to get angry about, since Mulan is supposed to be the hero of the story). But on the other hand, they get angry because of the choice of using a Chinese actress to play the character in a movie about a Chinese folk tale in China. I.e. it's arguing two opposite points at the same time.

'Stay true to the original!' on the one hand, and 'Pander to the (Asian) American audience!' on the other.

Or am I missing something here?

 

I know scripts change a lot form initial concept to final, filmed product. But seriously? Uh, is there any kind of supervision or director of writers for those wanting to make sequels, re-makes of Disney films so they aren't butchered, destroyed, ruined, or piss off their fan base and thus lose profits? If not there should be. They kinda did the same thing in season 4 of Once Upon a Time. They let Kitsis and Horowitz rip off and....basically "Blech!" all over Frozen and, as a tangent, the beloved fairy tale Frozen is based off. My sister stopped watching Frozen and Once after season 4A.

My sister and myself are fans of Mulan, to name a few Disney movies. So, Ireth, where can I send an angry letter? Or is there a poll or petition someplace where we can put our vote?
