Why can’t I find any good meta posts or analyses on what made the original Mulan great??

so I had a Big Brain Moment...
had this been done? I don't think it has
there's so much more I couldn't fit. so much more. feel free to expand on this (or make it look better)
other things:
since avatar is based off of Asian culture technically zuko also helped save China
all could be seen as an lgbt allegory
mulan and zuko both fighting for their honor (why didn't I think of that sooner, it's so obvious!)
atla had the kyoshi warriors and mulan fought with a fan
atla and mulan both had a strong woman having men to do drag
all have fairly recognizable voices
all at some point had talking animals (mushu, aang's sleep deprivation hallucinations scene)
zuko and mulan both had pivotal hair cutting scenes
all of them being physically different than others in some way (po being the only panda at first and being made fun of for being fat, mulan being a woman warrior, zuko and his scar) (this along with other things fits into the lgbt allegory idea)
badass old men (iroh and bumi, oogway and shifu, the emperor)
po and mulan both meet flower symbolism (the peach tree vs the cherry blossom tree)
atla and kung-fu panda both have turtles/tortoises as wise figures
mulan and zuko both wear badass clothes
all underdogs who eventually earn the respect of pretty much everyone in their stories
zuko and po both being the comic relief at some point
zuko and po both joining an already well-established team and feeling left out at first (the gaang, the furious five)
shifu and iroh both essentially losing a son but in wildly different ways
lotus symbolism (po's birth name being little lotus, iroh's white lotus group, again the flower blooming quote for mulan)
mulan and po being bowed to by someone higher up than them (the emperor, shifu)

So once upon a time I read an Anastasia AU Wesper fic, where Wylan was the lost prince and Jesper the conman trying to trick him but ends up falling in love. it was a rly great fic, unfortunately unfinished, but genuinely one of the best fics I’d ever read omg
anyways so that premise is great, yeah? But imagine:
Zoyalai in an Anastasia AU
Zoya the street smart conwoman, convinces Nikolai he’s the lost Ravkan prince, and ends up tripping over her feelings and falling for him
Alina (and Tolya and Tamar and maybe Genya, they’re pack animals) as Vlad and Mal as Sophie
THE DARKLING AS RASPUTIN

“As always, there was an all-American war hero look to him, coded in his tousled brown hair, his summer-narrowed hazel eyes, the straight nose that ancient Anglo-Saxons had graciously passed on to him. Everything about him suggested valor and power and a firm handshake.” - Maggie Stiefvater, The Raven Boys

Now that we've got the salt out of the way..... here's to POSITIVE votes on the live-action remakes!
Once again, I'm only counting DIRECT remakes, not spin-offs or sequels. I decided to cut Cinderella since most people agree that it is the One Good Remake lol. Whether or you not you agree with that is besides the point: which OTHER remake is second-best to Cinderella 2015?
Happy voting! ❤

Fixing something that's bugged me for about 20 years.
The human ethnicities of Faerun were labeled inaccurately in the 3e Forgotten Realms book. After some research I have corrected them to match the descriptions instead of just putting the names in alphabetical order.

🐎Saving private Mori 🐴
Part 1
Here's a mini story @moonlightchild358 and I had been working on for fun!
During one of the Merkits' visits (where Dzhambul and his son Timur come over to the Golden Kheshig's territories for diplomatic discussions)
Timur gets into an argument with Enkha and then Temujin. He storms off in a huff, grabbing his sling bag (that's virtually identical to Temujin's) Both steppe men have adorable little comfort plushies..
But as shenanigans go.. Their sling bags got switched..
Thus begins the highly elaborate plan to rescue little Mori without starting a war..
Enkhsaikhan convinced Temujin to dress up as the Khan and Khatun to act as the primary distraction.
It seems to be going well..
Twin brother and sister duo, Baatar and Bayar act as a secondary diversion..
Allowing for Tsetseg to sneak around to retrieve Tem Tem's little Horsey.
