Because honestly I would hate it if they retconned the original Mulan 's sexuality because she was definitely straight. And so was Shang, no matter what people may believe. And her so called coming out anthem in the original version? That's a reference to how she wanted to be more of a tomboy than a girly girl and in Chinese culture women are expected to be feminine and dainty. And I would mind it if they retconned Mulan 's love for Shang like this. No way, just no. You DO NOT do that. -_- "Original Mulan", as in the one that killed herself? Because that's the original Mulan. Disney's Mulan is just as much of an adaptation of the original Mulan as Once's is. And they are both equally valid intrerpetations of the character. Well Hua Mulan isn't a real person, she's as fictional as red riding hood is. So no, I was talking about Disney's version, the one I grew up with. This isn't Disney's Mulan though. It is an original take on Mulan. They may take things from the Disney movie (which they can do because, yes, Disney owns ABC), but they don't have to. And the original story never pairs Mulan with anyone, so having her be a lesbian is as valid as an interpetation as anything.
