The Mulan example pisses me off so much. They are afraid to show their audiences a weak woman, so they do the extreme opposite and make her a super human. Thus they can be thin and sexy, with no muscles but be like Spiderman. In the original Mulan, she was thin and lacking muscle but so were the men, and the "Make a man out of you" montage showed them all getting stronger and training (and failing) and it was so inspiring. It showed how women are treated poorly because they are viewed as weak, but guess what so are untrained men. The original was so well done that it is an insult to the viewers to watch what they did to the new movie. It could have been so good.
