    Reminded me of this.

    Artworks portraying a world where Soviet won the cold war. It has such obvious dystopian spin on the whole thing, but I don’t think it has the intended effect on me.

    Fun fact: Mulan, both versions, crashed and burned in Chinese theatres because actual Chinese people in China deemed it Orientalist.

    What exactly was the deal with this Mulan movie exactly? I haven’t seen it but I vaguely remember liberal media freaking out over it when it released.

      As someone who hasn’t seen either of the versions, but just seen what people wrote about it. The live-action Mulan succeeds in her endeavours because she is the chosen one with magical powers, while in the original she did so through hard work and being clever.
