This was garbage and only praised because people care about it pushing LGBT shit and gender fluidity. It’s on the same level of bad as Wish and I’m surprised at all the praise it’s getting.

I thought it was alright.
This can be used to describe any movie ever. Overall, I think the movie is better than the book, but it still suffers from severe problems:
>Very unnuanced “traditional stories bad” narrative
>The most interesting aspect to the story with the gay knights rivalry is watered down and replaced with a stupid jock
>The film clumsily tries to make systemic racism a theme by saying it’s not just the villainess but the entire system that’s at fault, but turns out it really is just the villainess
>Nimona is perfectly fine with being the monster everyone expects her to be with her willingness to kill innocent civilians but the film expects you to forget this and get offended over her being seen as a monster
>Ballister hands Nimona a scroll of a dragon girl setting fire to the kingdom and asks if it's her
>Nimona: "Do you really think I would do something like that?!!"
>After she's spent her entire time with Ballister talking about how much she loves destroying things and murdering people and expressing her desire to be a villain
>Blackheart and Nimona act like absolute morons by having proof of the villain being caught in the act but not even make a copy of it or send it as a text to Ambrosius
>The Squire also just does nothing with this information for no reason
>Asian Ambrosius doesn’t think to ask Blackheart if Nimona did or did not transform into the villain for the video, which would dispel any notion that she was innocent
>Blackheart also forgets despite being IN THE ROOM AS IT HAPPENED
>The kingdom literally has no way of telling if Nimona is a monster, but somehow she is incapable of living with other humans unless they know she’s a goddamn shapeshifter according to her
>Everyone in the kingdom just forgives Nimona immediately after the climax despite going on a rampage
>If you do [action] it will give you no benefits but will [list many negative cons]
>But I wanna do it for muh feewins
It was a fun movie with good a message as long as you don't analyze it too closely.
>tries to make systemic racism a theme by saying it’s not just the villainess but the entire system that’s at fault, but turns out it really is just the villainess.
The whole city was built around the wall to keep monsters out and Ballister was the first lower class knight ever, and the whole society went along unquestioningly. So it was a systemic problem.
I guess LGBT people only care about surface level allegories and shit storytelling with basic "quirky" characters. Who knew?
In a roundabout way, LGBT ARE human after all. They're just as shallow amd trashy as the rest of us plebs, unlike what their "leaders" (re: Activist journalists) imply.
I'm still surprised fans of the comic were so embracing of the movie considering it butchers the personality for almost all the lead characters. Especially when there was talk about Disney changing Balister and Ambrosius' relationship they were up in arms but the movie came out and their relationship is incredibly different and they were all fine with it. Like the characters never mattered only that they were gay.
Also someone in an older thread pointed out how Nimona's backstory is like if Aang's story in the Great Divide was real and I honestly haven't been able to get that comparison out of my head when discussing the movie.
It’s an okay movie in its own right but a shockingly bad adaptation as mentions
Well it goes to show that Noelle Stevenson is a hack.
>Aang's story in the Great Divide was real
What
NTA, and I had to look up the episode to refresh my memory, but:
The Great Divide is an episode of Avatar the Last Airbender where the Gaang encounters two feuding tribes, and Aang decides to bring peace between them. He tries the whole episode to get them to settle their differences but keeps failing. They have this story for how the feud started over a dispute that took place 100 years prior. And at the end of the episode, Aang announces that since he got frozen in a block of ice for 100 years, that he was actually present for the real event that took place. And he tells them that what really happened wasn’t the serious thing they thought it was, it was actually just a simple argument about a silly game between two little kids, and they were only confused because the 100 year game of telephone had twisted the story. In light if learning this the two tribes then settle in peace, and as the Gaang is flying away, Sokka and Katara comment that it sure was lucky Aang had just happened to know those two kids. And then Aang admits he just made the story up to get the tribes to stop fighting because he was getting sick of dealing with them and couldn’t think of anything better.
Similarly, Nimona is all about a society that is built around the story of an epic battle between a knight and a monster. But we see in a flashback, that the knight and the monster were really two little girls who used to be friends, and the battle was really them having a falling out because of an unfortunate misunderstanding.
>take place in homogeneous societies
>traditionally feminine main character
>promote heterosexuality
No wonder they’re getting overlooked this award season.
Because one is in Japanese and the other is in Polish?
The only one being ignored is the AI-looking slop
Nimona isn’t winning anything either, so I don’t see your point. Pretty much all the awards this year have been won by ATSV and Heron.
But Nimona got more Annie noms than any other movie.
>a few measly nominations (not even wins) from 1 industry friend group
So? ATSV has 17+ full-fledged critic circle wins so far and Heron 9+. Both have also been way more successful in the various popular choice awards.

Also, Annie is the same group that gave 8 nominations to Frozen 2 and Cars 2 or 6 to The Boss Baby.
Suzume was originally intended to be a lesbian love story and when the execs nixed it, Shinkai made the love interest an actual fricking chair instead.
Did they frick?
No, he's got a boyfriend.
She might've kidnapped the princess at the end and fricked her raw, the ending is a bit unclear on that.
Animation was alright, but the message and thematic is the most postmodern drivel you can imagine.
commie kids love it for that and because Nimona uses the Anarchy symbol.
I liked it. I thought it was fun and I like the character designs.
>it's garbage
don't care, just want Nimona to vore me
>all the praise it’s getting
What praise? I remember it coming out like half a year ago, getting a mild amount of buzz for like a week, and lately I haven’t heard much about it. Is there some new news, or does it have a big fan following someplace I’m just not acquainted with?
What do you think ?
Anime-ish/3D Disney style TRASH
Quirky 2010s tumblr webcomic SOVL
you sure seem obsessed over it
It was fun.
Whine harder.
Are you going to scrounge up the cash for Nimona shark porn or what.
Once I have $50,000, I'll commission an artist to make a softcore animation of me and Nimona as a shark.
This was pretty good and only hated because people care about it having LGBT shit and gender fluidity. It’s way better than Wish and I’m not surprised to find a contrarian thread about it.
i would have been interested if the main character wasn't gay
>watch trailer, PP gets hard
>watch movie, stop, my penis can only get so erect
I liked it, it was yet another "be true to your self" type of movies. Also, short angsty tomboys are my kryptonite.
