    "Last thing he wants to do is die in the closet." The metaphor is metaphoring
    also in the comic, which differs significantly from the movie so extra worth the read, but in the comics there's a guy named Sir Girthrod, so N.D Stevenson knew what he was doing with Goldenloin too

    Love this movie so much because it goes to show someone isn’t born with hate it’s TAUGHT, especially at a young age when kids are still developing which is so heartbreaking 😭 and also the whole people being scared of someone who is different, it’s sad man 😢

    It was a Blue Sky (Ice Age) studio movie. When Disney bought Fox, they automatically got Blue Sky since it was owned by Fox. Disney execs didn't like the queer themes of the film and shut down production and shut down the studio as well since its last film flopped (Spies in Disguise).
    Some managed to salvage the film ,which was 75% done, by making a deal with Annapurna films and Netflix stepped in for the distribution.
    So in a way, this is Blue Sky 's swan song.

      I'm cautious about how much active resistance came from Disney on this film. They're targets of culture war bullshit for a reason. Being actively targeted by culture warrior grifters and politicians (but I repeat myself) could very well make them cautious about this flick even if they gave it any significant attention.
      The thing is - that Fox purchase was a massive mistake. It was a boat anchor going in to a lean time. Blue Sky hadn't produced any decent returns for some time. And Disney needed to stem the cashflow bleeding. Its not shocking that Blue Sky and anything under it got axed.
      IMHO they missed out. And I'm really glad another path was found. And you know what - at the end of the day, it might have ended up being a better path than the one they started on. But at the end of the day, Disney was just never a big part of the story.

    0:12 No, it started off with Blue Sky Animation Studios (Ice Age & Rio), but Disney brought them out in 2020 and disbanded Blue Sky, and we all know how homophobic Disney is, so they scrapped the movie instead of producing it because of the gay relationship in the movie. But, the creators got so much good feedback and outrage that they decided to drop it on Netflix.

    I have to say, I feel bad for Gloreth. She wasn't evil, she was simply a young girl who fell victim to societal pressure from her neighbors and parents
    And considering how much of a lie the 'official' history of Gloreth's encounter with the 'monster' was, it makes me wonder, how much else was a lie? Did Gloreth really found the Institute to fight monsters, or was she used as a figurehead and rallying point? Did the Institute start out with genuinely good intentions at the start, only to gradually become what it is in present time?
    One thousand years is a very long time for humans, after all. Facts become history, history becomes stories, stories become legends, and legends become myths. The only person who truly knows for sure is Nimona, and I wonder if she doesn't repress a lot of her memories, just to keep from being overwhelmed. As Omni said, Nimona likes to live in the moment.

    This movie kills me. Glorith betrayed a friend and doubled down so hard she imprisoned a society and yet- Nimona’s still there. She’s been there. A thousand years of technology still can’t scratch her and yet she’s never hurt them. They hurt themselves, imprisoned themselves, from an enemy that never really existed. The message isn’t subtle but boy it does hit hard.

      And i mean, yeah, it definitely has themes of racism... it is quite literally about being trans and lgbt+ in general. there are even trans flags hidden in banners and lights throughout the film.
      they still don't see the trans themes, though that makes sense considering they pushed me back into the closet when i came out to them 5 years ago

    So glad you watched this movie, I love it so much and it was so nice reliving the experience again now that it's been a little while (the comic is also great, in slightly different ways). And I especially love the way it shows how people lash out, because this didn't just feel like stock "tragic backstory makes you evil" trope; she was MADE into a villain and then chose to embrace it because everybody hated her anyway so why not just become exactly what they expected her to be. It's so human and so understandable. It helps you relate to kids who lash out when they're rejected, and to adults too tbh, who might resort to violence when driven into a corner. And of course to oppressed people who choose to fight against their oppressors rather than play the perfect victim
    Also the way it takes a while for Ballister to accept what Nimona is trying to say (which, to be fair, Nimona isn't the best at making the argument even though she is right), I like how it's not immediate; he needs to unlearn everything bit by bit. Even as he knows he was framed by the Director he still has faith in the system and thinks it's just her being the one bad apple, and it isn't until seeing the wall broken down that he realises the full truth. Similarly him going back and forth with Nimona, whether he accepts her or not, the suspicions always ready to flare up again, until finally he gets it and shows her compassion when she's in her most terrifying form
