Just watched Nimona

The fact this movie never got a theater release because of Blue Sky's closure and Disney deciding to nix it once acquired will forever break my heart holy shit.

Like up front it is BEAUTIFULLY animated, the writing is tight as hell, the story is genuinely moving and amazing. By that alone it deserved to be in theaters.

*deep breath*

But BOY HOWDY am I SALTY AS FUCK that a animated movie that is accessible to kids, especially queer kids, got knocked out of the process to reach theaters when

IT JUST CASUALLY HAS A INTERRACIAL GAY COUPLE WITH A (metaphorically) ADOPTED (literally) TRANS CHILD AS THE 3 MAIN CHARACTERS IN THE MOVIE THE FUCKING HELL WE COULD'VE HAD ALL THIS PERFECTLY DONE QUEER MEDIA ON THE BIG SCREEN AS A COHERENT AMAZING STORY FUC-

#Nimona #Nimona film #God I feel Nimona so hard I actually had to fast forward some scenes because I am not in a GREAT headspace right now so it was kinda #triggering at the moment because hahaha yeah people see me as a monster. Whooooooooo.#like god I hope so many kids watch this #young teens trying to figure stuff out #And like I have fond memories of the OG Nimona- I was There for the webcomic #but the ending of the original comic ngl kinda scarred me a bit #and I'm so glad it shifted #LIKE SPOILERS FOR WHAT DOESN'T HAPPEN IN THE MOVIE BUT WHAT I REMEMBER FROM THE END OF THE COMIC #but in the comic spoilers Nimona does live but still wanders and it's left open whether she and Ballister ever meet again #I could be misremembering but yeah #like as a NB person it made me feel like I may never find a home- a place to belong #so I think the fact that Nimona and Ballister met at the end #where it shows the city is open to embracing Nimona #it kinda puts a salve on that wound #LIKE DON'T GET ME WRONG I recognize the power of the OG ending #Stevenson was exploring his own feelings and figuring themselves out and they were younger so it made sense #but sometimes even beautiful worthy media can leave a negative mark #depending on the person #because we all have different experiences and what is healing to one can be poison to the other #so YMMV on which ending you like better
