go kitty go

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.

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

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.

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

cowabummer!!

Idk if this has been done yet but-
