Mulan: The Warrior Who Defied Tradition

Mulan is a young girl who disguises herself as a man to take her father’s place in the army, determined to protect her family and prove she is just as strong as any man. She faces fierce battles, discovers her true strength, and ultimately saves China from danger.

One fan theory suggests that Mulan’s dragon companion, Mushu, was actually a guardian spirit sent to protect her, though disguised as a small, comedic creature. What if Mushu was more powerful than he appeared, and his true abilities were hidden all along?

A key moment in the film is when Mulan climbs the mountain with her army, overcoming the odds, proving her worth, and ultimately saving China. This shows her bravery and determination, a defining trait of her character.

What if Mulan had not joined the army, and instead, her family had been forced into battle? Would they have survived, or would Mulan have found another way to help? A prequel could explore Mulan’s early life and training, detailing her journey of self-discovery before the events of the war, showing how she built the inner strength needed to defy tradition.
