History NightmareFuel / Mulan

* The aftermath of the Chinese army's rocket barrage against Shan Yu's forces. As the dust settles, there's Shan Yu astride his horse completely unharmed…and then he is joined by two of his lieutenants…and then they are joined by more…and more…and more. The music swells as it dawns on the Chinese Army (and the audience) that, for all their vaunted firepower, the Huns have literally just [[NoSell shaken off]] their best effort. If it wasn't for [[IndyPloy Mulan coming up with a ridiculously creative solution,]] the Huns would have won right there.

"...''[[InTheBack One.]]''"

--> '''Shang:''' Prepare to fight. If we die, [[DefiantToTheEnd we die with honor.]]
** The moment after that, after Mushu tries to comfort Mulan. It quietly cuts to a snowy mountainside, holding on it for a few eerily silent moments, then, ''WHAM!'', Shan-Yu's falcon soars back in with a determined look on its face, and then the [[OhCrap connection hits Mulan, Mushu and the audience]] [[NotQuiteDead like a ton of bricks]].

* Chi-Fu ordering Shang to execute the exposed Mulan. Despite it being the law of Women who join the army are sentenced to death, Yao, Ling, and Chein Po and are horrified of the act and try to rush to defend Mulan, but Chi-Fu reminds them of the law and they can only watch. As Shang raises the sword, Mulan closes her eyes ready for death. The look on Shang's face is cold and scary, as he raises the sword...then flings it to the ground. So, even though Shang spared Mulan's life, he did so at literally ''the last second.''

* Mulan and her comrades are singing a cheerful marching song when [[MoodWhiplash WHAM]], they come across a burned-out village, the aftermath of a Hun massacre - not just of the villagers, but of the army led by Shang's father. ''There are bodies on the ground. In a Disney film.''
