I just found out today that Disney excluded the character of Shang from the live remake of Mulan because of the #MeToo movement! The interactions between Shang and Mulan and Shang and the rest of the characters are a very important part of the movie and this alteration makes the movie sound absolutely terrible. I was looking forward to the live remake, but the alterations have made me reconsider if I actually want to see it at all. The addition of a little sister and some mysterious witch were bad enough, but to exclude a primary character is disrespectful to the animated franchise.
A live remake is SUPPOSED to respect the original product, not alter whatever they want in favor of social demands or political correctness. Disney has absolutely NO business making live re-creations of animated films if they compromise the original story in favor of political correctness or social pressure. I fail to see how including Shang in the live remake will do any harm to anyone and I'm leaning towards not wasting my money to see something that is not a remake, but an entirely different product that is poorly disguised as a remake. What are y'all's thoughts on this?
