I'll Make a Man Out of You vs. A Pirate's Life for Me vs. Savages vs. Be Prepared



Specifically, the singers of each in a five-way battle:

  1. The Han recruits.

Advantages: superior numbers, proper training.

Disadvantages: no combat experience.

2) Captain Hook's crew

Advantages: high morale, well armed.

Disadvantages: disorganized.

3) The warriors of the Powhattan tribe.

Advantages: veteran warriors, experienced in combat.

Disadvantages: low numbers, inferior weaponry, lack of armor.

4) The Jamestown settlers.

Advantages: well armed and armored.

Disadvantages: low numbers, no proper military training

5) Scar's hyenas

Advantages: massive numbers.

Disadvantages: animals.

Victory is by being the last force remaining on the field, be it through driving off or killing all enemies.

Shang's army is gonna take this handily. They have decent numbers, decent weapons, the best training, and are the only side with armor. It won't stand up to a rifle shot, but in melee range they should easily be able to take any opponent. They also have rockets, which will allow them to engage at range if necessary. I also believe they had some cavalry (Mulan at a minimum had a warhorse) which will allow them to rapidly close distance when necessary.

Firearms are all well and good, but they cannot alone propel Jamestown to victory, especially giving the quality of weapons in question. The Jamestown Army is gonna suffer from not only a lack of military training, but an incompetent leader. The chaos of a five way fight is gonna wreak havoc on them.

Agreed. The ending of the song has some ridiculous feats. In quick succession, the soldiers manage to:

  • Pin ten apples to a tree with arrows

  • Do one-handed somersaults on tree trunks above a river

  • Run through an extremely dense rain of arrows

  • Break cinderblocks with their faces

  • Catch six fish at once with their bare hands

Not to mention some of the feats later in the movie, where Chien-Po manages to lift an entire horse and two people with no difficulty, or Mulan's earlier feat that makes it all possible, where, after being cut across the stomach, she ties a rope around her horse in the middle of an avalanche and then, as she's falling, shoots an arrow so that it perfectly lands in the hands of one of her comrades.

The Chinese take it as the only actual army as opposed to Warband/ship crew/settlers/pack of wild animals.

Jamestown and Natives are pretty well matched. It was disease which did the Natives in historically. Pirates aren't really any better equipped than Jamestown and fewer in number. Also, Hook struggles to defeat a small group of prepubescent boys. Hyenas are wild animals, flee at first gunpowder explosion.

Definitely the Jamestown settlers. They have the best armor and weapons. There's more of them than Captain Hook's crew, the only comparatively armed faction, and all of the rest will certainly break and get confused when fired upon by muskets.

The Chinese army also has access to gunpowder weapons accurate enough to hit a single person, as you can see in the video, and Jamestown-era muskets are really imprecise. I don't think the Chinese army is likely to break, and their feats in general near the end of the song are much better.

level 1

The ones with the most guns wins, I don't know the Jamestown settlers but as far as I know Captain Hook's crew has cannons and guns. They pretty much stomp.

level 2

Jamestown era guns are not a huge advantage over bows being wielded by well trained archers, and the Chinese Army from Mulan is familiar with gunpowder, and even has their own rocket artillery.

Weren't there like thousands of hyenas during that song? Wouldn't they win based on numbers alone? To many to fight effectively
