      Eeeehh... I like BES, it's entertaining. But I started to roll my eyes quite a bit after episode 5 when BES takes a rather nasty wound and fights through it. And then with seemly no time to heal, enters a death trap, takes what should be a crippling wound and down plays it beyond belief.
      It gets too John Wick 4, watching him get hit by car after car and keep going. It just becomes too unbelievable. And I loose the sense of threat because of course BES is going to make it, because reasons. I mean the end of ep 6 I believe... and start of 7. The apprentice just happening to be there, and how did he know about the Smith?

      ​​@@jonathanbaker4361felt that way too for some portions. if she came off that op from first episode to last it wouldn't have felt as bad. but they show her need to recover here and there but then other times shes super women. its the inconsistency that really took me out. although they do imply shes turning into something else. plus her special sword. maybe the next season will touch on something that makes it make a little more sense. still a pretty legit though in spite of that.

    • @requiemagent3014
      @requiemagent3014 Před 2 měsíci +13

      Mulan is China and Mizu is set in a fictional version of Edo Japan. That alone is a massive difference. It's not 100% historically accurate, they made some stylistic choices I assume, but it's kinda authentic.
      Also Mizu does not want to honor her family. At all. She hates all her potential fathers, she hates her "mom", see episode five and eight and she completely ruined her own adult life.
      Mizu is constantly the worst character in the show. That is a choice on purpose. Ringo is supportive of her, Taigen has taken a liking to "her", although Taigen is not really someone I would call a good person either. The swordfather never told her to be this way. He was very disappointed with her. She could have been a wife to a former lord but she squandered that as well. She could have even become a lord herself. She throws everything away and pushes everyone away from her.
      Blue eye Samurai is not like Mulan at all. The similarities are absolute surface level

    • @ninjabiatch101
      @ninjabiatch101 Před 2 měsíci +4

      @requiemagent3014 Surface level similarities are still similarities. No one is claiming they're the same show.
      And the setting being different is hardly that significant. That's like saying Dances With Wolves and The Last Samurai aren't similar.

    uh, Mizu’s goal was to end her family and kill her father. Mulan’s goal was to save her father. Bit of a difference.
    And the cross dressing was a necessity of the times, not just a fun similarity.
    (Not trying to hate on the video, it just missed characterized a few important points.)

    I disagree. In mulan the main focus is that shes a female soldier in a sea of men, while in blue eyed samurai, Mizu´s gender is kinda like a side plot. Instead, the main focus is Mizu´s journey for revenge, something that has nothing to do with her gender. Like if Mizu was a man, the series would pretty much be the same with some minor changes, but if Mulan was a man, there wouldnt be a m ovie

      Well with the whole Mizu thinking about kissing Taigan and Taigan literally getting hard when she straddled him, they're probably gonna get together by the end. I think it depends on how they execute it whether I have a problem with it or not. Because yeah, I want Mizu to learn to trust people again and find a purpose in life other than vengeance, happiness. But, I can also see them putting too much sappy/sexual shit in there that it gets ruined, or if their relationship makes Mizu a damsel in distress for the man to save(I just get tired of it). I also want Mizu to still remain a badass, so idk we'll see how it goes
