hey everyone, i noticed a lot of people are a little confused and maybe upset with my comment asking what Nimona's original form is and i really appreciate the answer to that. I realize it was dumb of me and that Nimona explains many times that they're Nimona. Not one specific being. However, Just to be clear i was asking about Nimonas original form (whether nimona was born human or not, not their gender.) But i appreciate the feedback on that question :)

When it comes to Nimona's "original" form, whatever it may be, I think the point is that we don't need to know it. Nimona has a lot of LGBTQ+ themes, and Nimona is where the T comes in. The important thing we need to accept about Nimona is that her identity is who she wants it to be, when she wants to be it. What her "original" form looks like doesn't matter, because the whole point of her character is that her form doesn't define her. You can especially see it in the earlier scenes where Ballistor (may have spelt that wrong) asks her to just be herself, in which he means the human girl, but Nimona gets confused/offended because she's just her, no matter what she looks like.

I think the interiors of the palace were intentionally bland and boring. To represent how they don't like anything different, they gave it a monolithic feel. While the shadier parts of town were colorful and vibrant. When Nimona started shape shifting inside the palace, the contrast between her pink colors and the bland background was brilliant.
@ishtarsachmet Жыл бұрын
Asking what Nimona's original form was, is kind of missing the point. As she said herself, she is Nimona, nothing more and nothing less and the thing that defines her is her shapeshifting. Especially as an allegory for trans and genderfluid identity this is important, with people insisting, often even without malicious intent, to just stay within the bounds of your assigned gender at birth, much the same way that Ballister suggests that Nimona should stay in her usual girl form, as it is the one he perceives as her "original" form.
@magalifernandez323 Жыл бұрын
right? it's even explicitly addressed in-movie, during the train scene when Ballister asks Nimona what she is and she shuts him down for asking narrow-minded questions lol She is all of it, the shapeshifting, the animals and the humans, and she always has been. Asking "ok but what was she /originally/?" feels a lot like people asking queer people "ok but what's in your pants?" and it really speaks of unfamiliarity with queer experiences outside the gender binary

The issues you had with the lighting are mainly just a result of how they did the cel shading. Cel shading can be difficult to pull off, and tends to look off-putting and out of place if done poorly. Some of the indoor lighting seems to suffer as a result of this, but the fun character designs and animations make up for it. Don’t quote me, I’m not an animator and don’t know much about the technical side of cel shading. This is just what I think happened.

I really don't get why people feel the need to figure out what her "original form" was. Throughout the movie Nimona tells Bal or implies to him when he is asking her a simple minded question. Questions that are based around trying to feed into what he was taught in regards to monsters and people who are "evil" or questions that are just plain ignorant. When he asks questions that are based in a genuine want to understand her, as her, she gives genuine answers. If Bal tried asking what her "original form" was, she would surely say something that just tells him it's a stupid question to ask. She's Nimona. Doesn't matter how long she's been Nimona, she's Nimona. Asking about an original form is the same as asking a trans person "when did you decide you were trans? " or "what's your ACTUAL name? " It's implying that they decided to be a certain way. When they've always been such. Nimona was Nimona 1000 years ago. Who's to say she hasn't been such since she was born?
@solsystem1342 Жыл бұрын
The shadow monster, as best as I can tell is queer grief and anger personified. Literally all of the suffering society had put her through for 1000 years just unleashed. One thing I really love is how the movie never pretends like Nimona is wrong to be angry or depressed. Like, it's not her fault just the result of how everyone's treating her. Then, she transforms into a phoenix a symbol of rebirth, wisdom and power to go tear down the corrupt system. Simplifying complex situations for the runtime, maybe? The point is the ideas get across which is what really makes it connect imo

Indeed. It’s noticeable how she starts as an animal, and later when she shapeshifts into a little girl, she seems like she is still unfamiliar with that type of body. Also it’s interesting how many people have become attached to Nimona’s little (longhaired) girl form, but I think that’s a credit to how good are the character designers, because that form was specifically made by Nimona to be as non-threatening and affable as posible, while her more adolescent one is “I have teeth and a personality and I’m not afraid to use them”.

I think Nimona was originally a forest spirit or energy and was just adapting to her surroundings. In her backstory, much of the land was unsettled, so she took more animal forms to fit her surroundings. But in the present of the film, there are more humans, which is why she took on a human form. Essentially, I think it is symbolic of her trying to find her place in the world; eventually finding that she doesn't need to settle on one appearance because every form she takes is an extension of herself and a part of who she is.

She might’ve started out taking shapes of animals to find a place of belonging, but it might’ve been when she met Gloreth in the past she finally took a form of a human, one that looks like a child to appear disarming. Fast forward to Nimona having trauma ✨, Nimona didn’t want to leave the kingdom but she has to stay disguised but she can’t go back to her first human form she made cuz again, trauma ✨. So she made another form that she has creative liberties with; a punk teenager that lets her express her anger onto the kingdom without killing anybody & it’s one she made that wasn’t deemed as “acceptable” to humans without startlingly them with her sudden shape-shifting.

I didn’t wanna watch this movie, though the second I saw one of those over the top edits, I decided to watch it and I don’t l regret it. Every scene either had me dying laughing or in complete utter shock OR sadness. This was like a giant, dark, indoor roller coaster. You don’t know what’s gonna happen next, but your exited to know what will happen next

Personally I thought it was just alright, I like it! The characters were really fun and expressive, and I loved how the main two bounced off each other really well! But I don't know me and my brother got kinda lost by the third act and were just waiting for the movie to end 😭

Does your life not normally feel like it's bouncing around and chaotic to that speed? /jk I definitely vibe with the pace though it just feels like rambling about story ideas with my ND friends and that vibe is wonderful and something we don't see a lot.

My only real issue with Nimona is that the third act feel so horribly rushed, and the third act break up felt so horribly out of character for Bal that it destroyed any semblance of care I had for the story. The first two acts are amazing, I love the chemistry Nimona and Bal have and Nimona is an amazing character, plus the story set up is perfect. But the phrase "an ending can kill a movie" is so ungodly true here. Everything feels like it happens at once and wraps up far too quickly for any emotional payoff. Had this movie been say 30-40 minutes longer (which it very easily could have been) to help with the climax being, actually climactic and gave more time to the emotional weight of the ending of the movie, as well as getting rid of that stupid third act break-up, It would have been perfect

My reaction is the exact opposite. While the ending did feel rushed, I remember the 3rd act more because it was more mature and heartfelt than the rest of the movie. Esp when Nimona tries to unalive herself with a spear

I love they way that we get no clear answer on the origins of Nimona. All we know are her motivations but never do we understand where they came from, because we don't need too. She could've been a human girl who got shapeshifting abilities from a well, but the scene in the train was an allegory for her meeting Gloreth and throwing the rock into a smaller well instead of a gold coin into the actual well, because her wish was to get a friend. She could've been a dragon who was the only one left of it's kind. We don't know and that makes it better.

I watched this movie, I thought it was gonna be so goofy and funny, Nimona was the best character in animated history, until the ending, which got me absolute crying, it was the best movie like ever, it is on the same level as across the spiderverse
