new twitter update is so crazy lol. if you read a post every 3-4 seconds that means for a non-paying user it would take about 30 minutes to reach the reading limit. the question is where is twitter getting the funding to feel they dont need advertising view money anymore.

also if you watched nimona and didnt love it you should absolutely give the comic a try. totally different tone and the relationships between the characters are way more complex. a lot less slapstick and was originally not really meant for kids

feel like i need to watch this movie 3 times but one thing i thought was an interesting change from the graphic novel was that very little of the destruction in the final scene was caused by nimona herself - most of it was because of the soldiers shooting at her as she made her way to the statue. and then the director attempting to wipe out half the kingdom just to kill her. it really drives home how queerphobia is based on unfounded fears and how a society that vilifies us and mocks the value of diversity in general is only hurting itself.

another big change is nimona risking her life to save the kingdom from itself, a kingdom that always hated her (after one guy showed her there might be something worth saving). though i love the graphic novel's take on it too i think both endings are brilliant in different ways. to me it shows the shift in nd stevenson's work, from a story grounded in righteous anger when he was young and in the middle of processing a ton of trauma, to one that reflects a confidence about who he is and his place in the world as a bigender person fighting for justice. nimona saying "it's time to rewrite this story" is so fucking meta

ok so nimona thoughts below (spoilers)

nimona is one of the few adapations thats way more explicitly lgbt than the source material

now that we have a term for it i think cyclonus developing a romantic obsession for another man is his canon event

imagine if you were a transformer and your husband went MIA during his time as an espionage agent and you went looking for him. he is missing for so long he is presumed dead and so you marry another guy who has a life-threatening addiction to infiltrating peoples minds. what if he got pressured into relapsing which causes a chain of events that ends up with him mercy-killing you. that sucks, but also what if it turns out theres an alternate universe version of you that basically ends up as your replacement. okay youre the alternate universe version now. so what if after all this you actually end up finding your other MIA husband ALIVE and not only has he been tortured and mentally incapacitated. now what if you were forced to choose to kill one of your husbands. this is one plotline.

okay now what if you were a group of transformers and all you wanted to do was watch tv and drink and be unemployed but you were being hunted down by the most vibeless zero fun losers in the universe. and also the MIA husband from before is one of the losers.
