Alright, seriously...who the hell IS this person? This is by far my biggest problem with this whole segment. If you're going to do something this repetitive, AT LEAST get celebrity chefs who are actually recognizable. Where's the Gordon Ramseys? Guy Fierris? Rachel Rays? Outside of Trejo, this lineup has been complete and utter weak sauce, and Trejo isn't even a (bleep)ing celebrity chef. If you don't have the budget for the people that would actually make something like this work, why even do it??

Me seeing @mickeyfan5534's rage over a particular sketch from Muppets Now (I think) and not relating to it at all because we don't have Disney+ yet:

@TheOriginalTiki raged over Kermit's photobomy and Monkey raged over last week's Muppet Labs. I had some grumbles over the Aubrey Plaza interview with Piggy but that was it.Me seeing @mickeyfan5534's rage over a particular sketch from Muppets Now (I think) and not relating to it at all because we don't have Disney+ yet:

Still, same reaction

Muppets Now is a disaster. I liked it at first but as the weeks went on it become annoying and boring. I think the only good segments were Lifetsyle and Pepe's Game Show. Other than that, the rest of the segments were just not amusing as the weeks went on. I haven't watched the finale yet, but I will watch it after Mulan. Let's hope Mulan delivers as well

It's a Disney live-action remake. Do you really think that it will deliver anything?

Honestly no. After the tragic BATB remake, the awful Aladdin adaptation, and the annoying cash-grab Lion King remake, I really wasn't too excited about Mulan. But the reviews are saying it is a lot more mature and visually appealing so that reeled me into watching it.
I'm starting to get hope for the live action movies. TLM has the extremely talented Halle Bailey, which is going to be amazing. Cruella looks promising and people are saying Emma Stone is good which I was worried about after the garbage of La La Land. And if they mess up my all time favorite Disney movie Hercules, IT IS OVER FOR DISNEY.

Hercules will live and die by its cast and that's The Gospel Truth (see what I did there?)

Not to mention, I personally hated the decision to cut the songs AND Mushu out of the movie. It’s almost like if they cut the genie out of Aladdin. Your taking the Disney out of a Disney movie.

100% I can already see Lizzo, Beyonce, Keke Palmer, Jennifer Hudson, and Normani slaying the roles of The Muses

I just hope Tom Holland isn’t Hercules tbh

Very true, but they were cut to respect and capture more of Chinese culture and legends about Mulan if I am not mistaken.

I also wouldn't mind Amber Riley, Anika Noni Rose, Queen Latifa, and Heather Headley amongst the consideration.

Was Mulan based off a true story? If it is, I’m surprised that I never knew that.

Oh god no. I would skip the movie as a whole. I'm tired of companies casting the "basic white boy that does the least but 16-year old girls will fangirl over" for every movie.

Being honest, Hercules is going to be such a hard role to cast because you need someone the size of Chris Hemsworth (both in height and physique) but the charm of a Timothée Chalamet-type.

I don't think it was a true story, but it was a story created around 400 AD (CE). They added a phoenix in the new movie becasue in Chinese culture it represents unity and harmony which is more representation than a talking dragon.

All things considered, phoenixes ARE pretty close to dragons on the "cool" scale
