So... originally I didn't want to see the Mulan remake. But after seeing videos of these two ?!
I'm definitely going to do it.
Mulan is definitely often shipped with girls.
I love Shang & Mulan.
But in Ouat I only wanted one thing, for Mulan to end up with Aurora or Merida ?! And that never happened !
Now I also find myself shipping the one in the remake with another woman ?
Even though I really like the ship with Mulan & Honghui, but Xian Lang is just superior. And then I'm a sucker for the villain x heroine trope, you know that.
In any case it's funny that even if the remake is clearly inferior to the original (not very surprising) well a form of queer subtext persists. In the original a possible bisexuality of Shang, and here with Xian Lang whose certain gestures towards Mulan cannot be explained by heterosexuality, definitely not...
