okay I finally watched Nimona and I understand why queer-trans communities have been celebrating it so much. Extremely apt story given the spread of anti-trans legislation and social vilification of trans people & gender nonconformity in the US.
"Kids - little kids - They grow up believing that they can be a hero if they drive a sword into the heart of anything different. And I'm the monster?"
Rest in peace Nex Benedict. Rest in peace to all of our trans, nonbinary, Two-Spirit, and gender nonconforming family members lost to violence.

Someone today will read Shakespeare’s hamlet and say omg he’s just like me fr. Another person will read moby dick and proclaim Ishmael as an adhd king.
A person grieving for their recently deceased lover reads the iliad and they watch as Achilles rages and rages and god how righteous anger fueld by love is so devastating that it’s ramifications still affect the world several thousand years later.
We might one day settle down and read the epic of gilgamesh and watch as a king has to accept the death of the person he loved the most. One of the very first stories ever written and it was about coping with death, and how to grieve.
We don’t read classics because they’re old, we read them because they remind us that we are never alone. That a character created over 500 years ago struggled with the exact same problems we all still have today. That even a king from centuries past had to deal with death just like me. That’s what makes stories so powerful–they prove to us that we are never truly alone in what we are feeling.

Superman: There’s something I need to tell you… We’ve known each other for years, and I respect you a lot, and I… Ugh, what was it again? [re-reads his confession letter] And I…
Wonder Woman: Kal? Why are you standing out here in the hallway? Are you waiting for someone?
Superman: [hides the paper behind his back] N-No! I’ll join you guys for lunch in a bit. I just need to gather my thoughts first.
Wonder Woman: Okay… Don’t take too long. [walks away]
Superman: Okay, I’m just going to say it. [Takes a deep breath] I think I’m in love with you.
Booster Gold: Whaaat?
Superman: Booster? When did you get here?
Booster Gold: Look Supes, I’m flattered and all, but I already have Ted, and I don’t think he’d want to be in a polycule right now, you know? Or maybe he would? I mean, you're Superman! Hmm, maybe I should ask him first…
Superman: No, I-
Batman: Are you two done here? Some of us have places to be. [shoulder checks Booster Gold as he walks past them]
Booster Gold: Oooh… Someone’s mad that they’re not invited. Don’t worry Bats! You’re Number 1 on the Boostle ‘Things-We-Should-Do-Before-The-World-Ends’ bucket list!
Superman: What did you say?!
Booster Gold: Uhh, why do I get the feeling that I should go and get started on that list now…

I thought that after nearly four years, I'd seen every photo shoot Milo has ever posed for in all of existence, but today I learned I was wrong! YOWZA!

Some people have been saying this, but I don't think it's been said enough and I'm just going to add my voice to the mix.
Nimona's nomination is being framed as an example of "Look at what Disney missed out on!" and I get it. It's a nice, tasty schadenfreude situation and we all like to see The Mouse get taken down a peg.
But I think we need to be very clear; Disney did not miss out on anything because they were never going to take that sort of risk.
Disney was never going to release anything close to the Nimona we got. It would have been sanded down until anything obviously queer or controversial was as faint and unnoticeable as possible by the casual viewer. And then they would still be too scared of any potential backlash. So they would have given the film a limited release at theatres, with no advertising, or social media or support.
Like what happened with Strange World.
You remember Strange World, right?
No?
That's because no one does.
And I believe that was deliberate, because that way Disney can go "Weeellll... obviously we would LOVEto take more risks and have more inclusive stories but that's clearly not what the public wants!"
Look at the original concepts for Wish. The evil royal couple? The peter-panesque star boy that would have made the gen zers go feral the same way millenials went feral for Jack Frost? These could have been the best things about the movie, and even they were scrapped, and replaced with something more homogenised. And those ideas are nowhere near the level of the concepts and discussions Nimona brought to the table.
Disney can barely have explicit gay people. Nimona has a gay south Asian man in a relationship with an east Asian man. As a protagonist! But more than that, you think Disney could ever come up with a relationship as complicated and difficult as Boldheart and Goldenloin's? They would never have the guts to show one love interest cutting off the other's arm in a straight relationship. Let alone a gay one! And then for them to be on opposite sides of the conflict, shifting between feelings of betrayal, and questioning each other motives? That's some adult dark shit for a kids film.
Asha as a character was forced into the quirky girl role that Disney has already flogged to death with Anna and Rapunzel. You ever think they would allow a Disney princess to be as dark and violent and nuanced as Nimona? You ever picture the titial character of a Disney film AS the third act conflict, rampaging through a city in a self destructive rage? Nimona is anti authoritarian, vengeful, bloodthirsty, a pretty explicit trans allegory, and even, by the climax, openly suicidal. You KNOW that terrified Disney.
I had a thing about the Director here too but I was shocked by how long that got so I'll have to save her for a different post.
My point is the things that make Nimona art, that make Nimona a great story, that make the film important and Oscar worthy, are all things that Disney has become too chicken shit to produce. If Disney had released a film called Nimona it wouldn't have been Nimona. I fully believe that if the film hadn't had been 90% finished it wouldn't have been shelved. It would have been lobotomised and vivisected. Everything special and vital about the movie and its message would have been removed, and no one would have known what could have been. Once again we would have gotten scraps and been thankful for them.
It makes me think about films like Wish (and others we don't know the name of, and never will) and think of what they could have been if studio's like Disney were braver and let their artists make art, instead of content.
tl;dr Disney didn't miss out on Nimona because they are incapable of making Nimona. If they had produced it the real Nimona wouldn't exist. We didn't miss out on Nimona. And that's purely by luck.

When confronted by our worst nightmares, the choices are few; Fight or flight. We hope to find the strength to stand against our fears but sometimes, despite ourselves, we run. What if the nightmare gives chase? Where can we hide then?
