my favorite thing about nimona is that they didn't give her a backstory to why she was a shapeshifter. just that she was. it was her normal reality that she had lived for over a thousand years. that despite doing nothing wrong she was labeled as a monster from the beginning of time. the entire kingdom was only built to protect the world from her just wanting to exist free to be whatever she wanted.

this movie isn't even a trans allegory at this point, it is The transgender movie.

i'm not over Nimona and I've rewatched it so many times. I know there have been other posts about the religious symbolism and comparisons between the institute and christianity, but i can't believe it took me until my fourth rewatch to notice that the 'T' looks like a cross in this scene

so i thought "oh, wow. maybe that's just the way the font always is"

but then in the next scene with Ambrosius looking at the news, the font is the same and the 'T's are normal

So i paid more attention to the fonts when text was shown, and the way the capitol 'T' vs lowecase 't' is used is very... intentional??

Maybe its been pointed out, maybe i'm reaching, but. Once i saw it, i couldn't unsee it.

The Nimona movie does what like a hundred movies and shows have done before, including Paranorman, Turning Red, ATLA, Buffy, Tekkon Kinkreet and genuinely like almost every story where there’s a form of supernatural or supernatural-ish power. A character loses control of their emotions and therefore loses control of their power and goes on a monstrous rampage, but then someone reaches out a hand, or hugs them, or stands unarmed and vulnerable in front of them, shows them the power of love and understanding and acceptance, diffusing the emotional crisis and turning the monster back into a nice normal person. And that’s a good story, there’s a good reason why people keep telling it and telling it.

But the Nimona comic did something rarer, something I liked much better. Nimona is an overall quite optimistic and lighthearted story that still managed to say - fuck you, your love can’t fix me, my anger is real, my fear is real, the monster is real, who the fuck are you to say it isn’t. The parts of me that are dangerous and scary as shit are just as real as the parts you love.

i feel like we should talk about the classism also portrayed in Nimona

like the whole thing of ballister not being of noble blood, him being a street kid?

ofc there’s the homophobia/transphobia aspect but i haven’t really seen anyone talk about the classism in it

the director literally claims that the start of the “crack in the wall” is the queen giving ballister a chance to prove himself and become a knight

she is fully blaming the prospect of giving non-noble lower class people a chance to become knights as a catalyst for the opportunity for “monsters” to invade or whatever

the queen letting ballister train to be a knight, and her wanting to allow anyone (aka ‘commoners’) to do the same? giving underprivileged people the same opportunities as those that are privileged? and the director finding that so “wrong” or offensive that she literally kills her??

"You can tell that there was a wealth of love that went into making this film so I hope people can take just a little bit of that love out with them." - Eugene Lee Yang | Go Behind The Animation for Nimona

truly The Guy Ever. his daughter is older than him and is also a boy and a shark and a teenager. his husband cut his arm off. he could have gone back to his dream job but instead he decided to overthrow the government. he’s an orphan. he has big beautiful brown eyes like a baby cow. he listens to dope saint jude. he stole a car to avoid having 1 second of awkward conversation with a retail worker. sometimes his daughter is a large animal that he rides into battle. he dresses like a dark souls character. he lives in a hovel. he’s named after those weird little columns that hold up fancy staircases. he hates free form jazz.
