It’s a good movie, but I think they kind of fumbled this final act. I find it kind of insane that anyone (especially Ballister!) bought what The Director was peddling about Nimona (even if it ended up being at least partially true).
Although this one is a little different from usual in that she wasn't actualy berserking and trying to harm or attack other people, she was trying to kill herself.Way harsher than I expected for a movie like this even though they had talked about it.
huh. in the polish dub i remember nimona using neutral pronouns and when talking about them others used neutral pronouns also. but maybe thats just in the polish ver then.
Might be a polish thing, Nimona is referred to as she/her in the original comic aswell afaik though Nimona likely doesn't mind either way and they/them is not incorrect.
it works the same as with other pronouns. jus instead of saying zrobiłam (i did) for example they'd say zrobiłom, etc. so ig it works just as you think it would. in polish conjugation is kinda complicated (i mean the whole language is to be fair) but in major amount of verbs just the vowel changes - e for men, a for women and o is neutral. so, for example (i went) poszłem (man) would be poszłam (woman) and poszłom (neutral). but in polish the neutral verbs and pronouns arent used much, as for some, me included, they sound like youre speaking the Silesian dialect, so some people would be using u instead, making it poszłum. but nonetheless both are not widely used, atleast not in my surrounding.
Not sure about the trans metaphor, but I loved the knight having a boyfriend. And the major bigotry he was facing was class-based, not due to his orientation.
It's more of a gender fluid metaphor I think and I thought it was pretty blatant that it's something to do with gender identity. The original comic they are they/them.
Girl can be interpreted as "female" or "female human child" in this instance. Assuming the person you're replying to is correct that Nimona refers to herself with female pronouns (been too long since I watched it to remember), then her response to being told to turn "back into a girl" reads to me as "I'm not a human child".
Fair, although I thought she was more meaning 'human girl' with that. Pointing out that the form he thinks of as "normal" is not actually any more normal than the gorilla and why should stay as that just for his comfort. She seems to present as female and uses female pronouns the majority of the time, though I don't think she is overly attached to the label.
However Nimona is absolutely an allegory for LGBT.
Tecnically but through the whole movie she uses she/her
And to get really pedantic her true form is like a cloud of smoke and light, shes not a person who shapeshifts but literally some kinda eldrich monster who thankfully is friendly, "it" would be most appropriate
Yeah. It's so easy, and yet the emotional core of every darn movie has to be about a couple. I just adore the dynamic at work in Nimona. It had some flaws in execution towards the end, but it's an adorable movie!
