Surprised no one has said in the comments yet after so long, but after rewatching this with you guys I wanted to mention that they specificly changed character design for Goldenloin to match Eugene Lee Yang after he was cast. ?
So Boom, you recognizing him and checking during your reaction to check was exactly what they wanted people to do. ?

I wasnt going to watch this at first, but then i saw one scene on tiktok that made me laugh and decide to watch it and i am glad i did. i guess that shows not to judge a book by its cover, give things a try because i loved this. also i agree with another person in the comments, you should check out Sea Beast

This movie really hit me pretty damn hard at the end there, as someone who used to deal with, well, not so great thoughts like that. I didn't think the movie would make me cry, some of the newer movies coming out lately haven't made me cry (which is surprising, I'm such a fucking crybaby) so I was expecting the same with this. Her struggle with those thoughts hit so close to home, I am very glad you guys watched this because you guys watching this actually made me want to watch it

I LOVED this movie. Nimona is such a good Trans allegory. And it's a blatant one, with the fluidity of the character and the way society treats her. And all of the discussions about "Why can't you just be a girl? It'd be easier for you" and the "itchy" feeling that comes with conforming to just not being who or what you need to be. Nimona is fluid in every way and it just brings me sooo much joy.

This was amazing!!! I remember reading the graphic novel years ago (before I knew any of ND Stevenson's work), and the movie did such a good job with the plot! I felt very seen as someone who relates to Nimona, 10/10.

"That would suck to always have the itch to shapeshift" it sure does. I'm a little sad that this movie couldn't be a little more obvious to the general audience regarding the trans allegory with Nimona. This isn't speculation either, the original comic was written by a trans man and there are trans colors very early on in the movie. This is a movie about the trans experience.

ND Stevenson is the creator of Netflix She-Ra also.
I think this movie was like more than halfway done when they shut down BlueSky Studios and I remember seeing that it had been scrapped and canceled. People online were freaking out about it. Then they revived it and brought it to Netflix. So the fact that this amazing movie was so close to almost not getting made is bonkers!

Also, Riz Ahmed as Ballister! So it is once again that time to bully Ruff into watching Star Wars (particularly Rogue One).

1- ND Steveson is also the creator of Shera if you guys didn't know.
2- As someone who has read the graphic novel, Nimona might be just one of her kind but tbf even in the comic her backstory is not very clear. There are like 3 theories from the comic itself (not even counting fan theories)

So glad you guys watched this, I loved the graphic novel and have been so excited for this movie. Not sure if you learned by now but the creator of She-Ra is the creator of Nimona!
