Just because Mulan has chemistry with Phillip doesn't mean she's bisexual. I mean look at Regina and Emma, there is a whole group of people who claim they have chemistry on the show, yet the characters are portrayed as completely straight. Ergo what people see is not always what is intended or canon. I know. I have no problem with that logic, but even characters within the show ala Aurora in the beginning of season two thought so and Mulan didn't deny it then. They left it open for mystery, though hinting at her love for Phillip. Now, I definitely see her love for Aurora in later scenes. I would think both. It's not like she liked both at the same time. She may like Aurora now, but nothing says she didn't like Phillip before. Well, yes, I do think they originally had it ambiguous, because they wanted the reveal that Mulan loves Aurora to be a surprise. But as you said, when you watch it back you can see the love Mulan has for Aurora in earlier scenes. Also, just because Mulan does not love Phillip romantically/sexually does not mean she can't love him like a friend or sibling. Which may be what people are seeing and misinterpeting.
