Re: Bullets Dodged

Yeah, and that's actually a super important part of the original folk tale. All the parts where she's nearly executed or otherwise condemned by people for disguising herself are Disney additions: in the various original Chinese versions people are generally startled/impressed to learn the truth, not angry. Mulan steps outside the narrow box her culture allows for women, but she does it out of filial piety, so it's cool.
