PSA: Nimona is free on YouTube, officially posted on Netflix's YouTube page. If you want to watch Nimona but don't have Netflix, this is your chance.

Listen I- I- I see a similarity-

[audhd-nightwing]

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??

ND Stevenson protagonists and their approach to keypads?

Really enjoying how girls going "if you loved me you'd commit war crimes for me" is apparently just Nate Stevenson's creative signature.

Adding one more to the list of animated movies I thought were never going to see the light of day that said fuck you disney:

[kaiwuzherenz]

okay wait. pause

WHAT!

kkkkkkkkkkk... i know everything that catra has done during S1-4 but to still blame her after S5

okay people...im so not going to ramble about this

i am

anyway! if you cant give catra just the benfit of the doubt i mean like. She tried to change.. Glimmer help her see that she wanted to change for the better. and what did catra do? she saved glimmer from horde prime

then we see that because catra did this, horde prime was very angry....

and then catra got chipped.......... adora offers to take her home. S1-4 Catra would have said no at any cost, but S5 catra is changing for the better

because of this again, horde prime gets angry again and then snap..just killed catra on the spot

adora then jumps down to save catra (ngl watching this, i throught adora basiclly just killed herself but u know she lived)

now we have catra back, the one how wants to change (FOR THE BETTER i must add) Entrapta helps to get the chip out of catras neck, while the ship is going through a belt in space.... Catra trys to say no for this help, knowing that she had hurt entrapta and sent her to beast island.. Entrapta doesnt even care and helps catra, very sorry when she hits one of catras nerves in her neck..

s1-4 catra would have prob attacked entrapta, but s5 catra qucikly calms downs so entrapta could contune

the chip gets removed, and catra sees that entrapta doesnt hate her...and before entrapta could leave, catra stops her

heres the thing i must point out too. S1-4 catra could say sorry or smth like that, but s5 catra says sorry and means it... PART 2 LATER CUZ I NEED A BREAK NGL!!!!!!!!!

So just watched Nimona.

Keeping in mind that it is an adaptation which is not defined by accuracy to the source- I really liked it. Nimoma and Balister especially are wonderfully lovable, and it's got a fantastic energy and sound track.

That said... it's been a long time since I read the comic, but I seem to recall it's plot and themes being more.... nuanced and interesting? Ambrosius especially was more layered and complicated originally, and over all, the comic did a more interesting job of challenging those lines of good vs evil. Buuuuuut books have the liberty of time that a 90 minute movie simply does not to get into the weeds that way.

I'm glad the Nimona movie exists. I hope that is also gets more people to read the comic.

Excuse me but WHAT THE FUCK ??? in what universe did this happen and is that possible that our queer-beloved Nate and Molly would be on D20 one day ????????????

Wow I can’t believe ND’s Gay Dads AU is canon

Comic Version

[1eatboys]

I keep seeing the odd post here and there mentioning that Ballister Blackheart is white in the Nimona comic and it hurts my heart a little each time I see somebody say that bc he’s actually not! Ballister Blackheart is canonically Asian in the comic, he is East Asian and simply has light skin.

I just find it saddening and wrong (granted I’m white myself so maybe it’s not my place to have an opinion on) to erase a character who is canonically a poc just because they have light skin :/

This is not a diss to people who didn’t know or people that were mistaken, that’s sort of the reason I’m making this post, so more people can know the truth rather than be misinformed or assume incorrectly.

(Context of the photo attached is that it is from a QnA Nate did on the Nimona comic years ago)
