Between her and Abuela from Encanto, Disney is doing a pretty good job at reminding us that sometimes, your direct family members will be the worst villains you have to face IRL.
Ming Lee shows that overprotectiveness can result in rebellion as much as not being there. As Mei said, " If they dont trust us anyway, then what's the point?"
For some reason, some of the parents didn't like the film bc they thought the message of the movie was to teach kids to rebel when really the message was that if you don't allow your child enough free will, then they can and will rebel against their parents
Dude I kinda feel bad for the 17 year old convenient store guy. He seems perfectly healthy before getting accused of doing drugs and taking advantage of a middle schooler and then gets shown a kid like 4 years younger than him is drawing fantasies abt him like bro he probably feels stalked 💀😭😭😭 EDIT: HELP I WAS DRINKING COCA COLA AND HAD TO SPIT IT BAXK IN THE BOTTLE CUZ OF THE ONE DIRECTION REFERENCE 💀😭😭😭
As an Asian with a horrible mother who did all of this, I'm SOOO GLADD TO FINALLLY FIND PEOPLE NOT EXCUSING HER BEHAVIOR BECAUSE OF HER SAD PAST--- LOOK-- JUST BECAUSE YOU UNDERSTAND SOMEONES BAD ACTIONS DOES NOT MEAN YOU HAVE TO LIKE THAT PERSON OR IDOLIZE THEM XDD
@@Diamondmoms Woah that’s a bit extreme, Ming isn’t a bad mother just a suffocating one. She takes care of mei mei and loves her, she’s just a bit to controlling
No no it happens when you're the oldest child too. And on top of getting this exact treatment you also get to watch your parents treat your younger siblings completely differently. They're allowed to do whatever they want, they're allowed to make mistakes, they get away with everything because even at age 18 and over they'll always be "so young, they just don't know better" but you at the ripe age of 5, already needed to show the example because you're bigger than them, you know better.
This woman is exactly like my mother. Only our relationship didn’t have a happy Disney ending… talk to her occasionally but that can only last 15 mins before she she says something fucked up and makes me want to drown myself
Honestly, I feel like people saying Ming is a bad mom aren’t watching the movie very well. Don’t get me wrong she’s very very overbearing and suffocating, but overall she does love Mei. She was just to scared to have her daughter be something she deemed bad, but sometimes you have to let the baby bird leave the nest. Mei and Ming’s relationship was stronger then before at the end of the movie, because Mei didn’t have to try and be something she’s not
She started letting Mei do stuff freely at the end of the movie when she finally realized that Mei is getting older and is able to make many decisions on her own.
You can love your kid and also be a bad parent, they're not mutually exclusive. I'm not necessarily saying Ming is an awful mom but just because you aren't beating your kids or something doesn't mean what you're doing isn't harming them.
@@kakyoinsearings7036 But she isn’t a bad mom? A bad mom is a mom who doesn’t care for their kid, Ming cares for mei more then anyone. At the end of the movie she became better
Ming is just overall toxic and overprotective of mei and is way too overbearing and toxic towards her own daughter… the least she could do is understand why mei wants to be around her friends or go to 4 town 😢🥺
Soooo nobody's gonna talk about "Introduction to the Snow" at 0:26? We love to see Hawaii: Part II getting more recognition! Hilarious video btw! The editing is amazing
6:00 All of the 4 town guys are screaming and flailing their arms while that one dude in the corner just curled up into a ball and went “This is how I die now. 😀” 😭😭😭
I feel your pain girl I never know my dad in the store bc HE YELLS FOR ME IN THE STORE WHEN IM LIKE 2 INCHES AWAY FROM HIM i jsut walk away and say " i dont know him ^^"
Tbh Ming Lee isn't toxic, she's just protective of Mei. She didn't let Mei tell her the truth about Devon and the only reason she betrayed her friends was because she didn't want her mother to know her secret
Out of any of the relatable things that either triggered me because I had the exact same experience as a kid or worse, it was the scene for 4Town and putting on an entire PowerPoint. My mom was the strict parent. And I was thinking about college plans. And I had one that was a little selfish, but practical. I wanted to go to Hawaii Pacific University, but I just KNEW my mom would be “Absolutely not young lady.” As someone who knew nothing about the west coast at the time. I put on a whole PowerPoint, my mom had a notepad and notes and so at the very end much like Mei I BEGGED her to let me go. My mom closed the notepad saw that I had damn near a full ride and said, “Sure. I just wanted to see your PowerPoint.” So I thought I had this in the bag because my mom followed up with a “Go ask your father.” My father’s much like Mei’s dad, was the chill parent so I was so sure that I’d be going to college in Hawaii. And he said “absolutely not.” I. Was. Devastated.
I was kinda confused when Ming looked shocked seeing Mei's panda cause i thought she knew but then when i went back she must’ve thought Mei had just gotten her period lol
Asians don't do that. They are very family oriented and refuse to send their elders away no matter how much they annoy their children and grandchildren
