The first person Jin Ling comes rushing to whenever he's in trouble 🥹

So I've recently seen the take that when WWX hits JL it's totally different and fine because it's "playful", it didn't even hurt, and he praised JL afterward! To me, this is like saying that it's totally fine to shove someone who suffers from hydrophobia into the pool if you're just playing and you praise them for not drowning afterward. If JL was actually a victim of long term CA like antis love to claim, then he will have trauma around being hit. Regardless of it hurts or not, the act itself would be triggering. Playful or not, in this situation, the only ones who found it funny were WWX and the waitress that witnessed it. Which brings me right back around to the fact that there has always been witnesses whenever JC does hit JL, just like there was a waitress there when WWX hit him. So all of these people are witnessing abuse, but not saying anything, or in the case of the waitress, laughing?

WWX was there for at least 2 of the times that JC hit JL. So he can outright attack JC for disrespecting LWJ, but he won't say anything at all or try to defend JL when he sees JC allegedly abusing him? Even if he wasn't present for those times, with the rumor mill that runs rampant in their society, if JL was actually being abused, people would talk about it. He'd hear of it eventually. Yet, he at no point confronts JC about it or even asks JL if he's ok or otherwise shows any concern for him.

At least in my arguments, I try to give the out of accepting that in the time and cultural setting, no one views JC's discipline method as abuse. That it's normal to them. But antis keep insisting on arguing that JL is being horribly and traumatically abused, and the more they continue with it, the worse it makes WWX look and the worse it makes THEM look. I'll reiterate. You should not be hitting someone you know is a victim of abuse, playful or otherwise. And WWX definitely knows that JC has hit his nephew. It's just apparently not an immediate concern like going off to fuck in a bush somewhere is, right?

The sad thing is, while most JC stans and antis won't agree on whether or not JC's treatment of JL is abuse, we can at least agree on one thing. Grown ass men need to keep their hands and their creepy ass silencing spells to themselves and off of teenagers.

Not to get emo on main but you ever think about how the troop sang about their dreams of finding “a girl worth fighting for”, and they think their girl worth fighting for is one of romance, but the song abruptly comes to a halt when they find a different girl worth fighting for.

A tiny girl that had been killed at the hands of the Huns. A child too weak, too small to have any chance of withstanding the murderous invaders. That is their girl worth fighting for.

[xxstar-bluesxx]

This is fucking horrific

[gay-jesus-probably]

It’s also worth noting that ‘A Girl Worth Fighting For’ is the last song in the movie. Up until here, it’s a fun movie, and the imminent invasion feels like it’s just there to keep the plot moving, and to provide a little bit of drama to spice things up. None of the soldier’s are quite taking this seriously yet; sure, Mulan wanted to save her father from the draft, and on some level she was aware that he would die if he went to war, but beyond that she’s interested in not being caught, and not shaming her family. Her motives are good, but they’re entirely self centered. All the other soldiers are more or less in the same boat - they want to get tougher, they want to impress girls, they want to be cool soldiers. Shang’s easily the most serious of the bunch at first, and even then it’s just because training bad soldiers will reflect poorly on him, and important people are paying attention.

The abrupt ending of ‘A Girl Worth Fighting For’ is the wake up call. The soldiers and the audience get slapped in the face with the realization of what’s really at stake here. China is being invaded. Villages are burning, civilians are dying, and this isn’t going to stop until the country is conquered or the invaders are defeated. This is not a fun musical, this is a major crisis.

Mulan is such a good movie for so many reasons, but the abrupt tone shift is such a major reason why. It’s an excellent commentary on the reality of war, and it being a kids movie just meant they had to make their point without showing any actual gore, which I’d honestly say makes it that much more poignant.

That moment, when they come over the rise and see the razed village is one of the best scenes in film. Period. Somehow, instead of giving me tonal whiplash, it took my breath away, and that’s one fuck of a balancing act.
