#Nausicaa and the Valley of the Wind

[solarpunkpresentspodcast]

In this bonus chat, Ariel and Christina talk about the 1984 Studio Ghibli film - and solarpunk inspo par excellence - Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind. Does the film live up to its significant reputation and deserve its cred? Is Nausicaä a solarpunk role model, or is this more of a princess-on-a-mission-style of legend? Tune in as we discuss this and more!

Kushana commanding Nausicaä to fasten her mail for her while they were in the middle of arguing. Nausicaä actually doing it without hesitation before saying to her face that she would defect and fight against Kushana if she didn’t listen. And then, Kushana laughing, turning to face her, and saying “Ride with me, Nausicaä.” The homoeroticism in this scene…

Do you get it??!?

The creatures in Mickey 17 reminded me of the bug creatures in Nausicaa!
