    In addition to the gay characters, I read a genderqueer allegory for Nimona's character, and I bet that's not the most original thing to observe. However, I don't think I've ever seen that in a piece of animation/child oriented media. It wasn't explicit in a way that felt pandering, but it felt true and honest to the struggle of trying to shape yourself to your internal image, and the social backlash and mental toll that can take on you. Honestly, really refreshing and affirming to see that.

      I don't know about that. I'd say it can pass for kids too since it has a bit of a family movie approach. Plus there are many kids who could relate with being feared for being different. Many of those likely being LGBT kids who are coming to question with their sexuality. I remember having crushes on boys a kid but never explored it or talked to anyone about it. Kids need to see movies that have lgbt representation. Exposure to it leads to kids coming to terms that people are different and don't grow up hateful. But of course most importantly lgbt kids don't have to feel scared to actually ask themselves about their sexuality. They can come to terms earlier and be happier being able to seek out relationships like their peers. Being closeted really sucks

    The themes of this movie kinda reflected my own life. I used to be homophobic. I used to think that being gay was wrong and that they were stupid for it. Wanna know why I thought this? It wasn’t by my own thought process but my parents. I live in a Christian household so my parents aren’t particularly fond of gay people. So they taught me to be rejecting of them. However I always felt like something wasn’t right. I did the research and I even prayed about it to God and after a lot of prayer I came to realize that it was just a lie. These are just people that are like anyone else and the Bible clearly states that we must love everyone as Jesus once did. Jesus didn’t shun out people who were different but instead loved and cared for them. As a Christian it just sucks seeing how we are constantly doing the exact opposite of what the Bible teaches and then we wonder why there are so many atheists out there. This movie really shows that problem we have today and it does it in such a fantastic way. This movie was simply amazing and it almost feels like a crime to be watching this on a small screen. This film is a rare Netflix W.

    I love this video but there is one thing I need to say. Ballister and Ambrosius were not just best friends and Ambrosius was not just a crush to Ballister. They were an established couple from the very beginning. In their first scene together, Ambrosius tells Ballister "They will love you, like I do." They were very much a couple from the get-go

    Nimona is one of, if not just straight up, my favorite comic of all time. I found it in my English teacher's classroom and I loved it so so so much, and when I heard it was going to become a movie I was PUMPED, then immediately crushed that it was dead. I was so excited when it released on netflix, but at the same time apprehensive because, I mean, it's netflix. I was SO surprised and happy when it turned out as good as it was and it still makes me so happy and I'd say that it holds a solid top ten spot in my "best movies" list

It is nothing like any other spider-man cinema and it is one of a kind in animated movies as well. It’s predecessor, ‘into the spiderverse’, came up with a completely new style of animation and inspired so many of the great new styles we’re seeing now.

    I feel like for a lot of queer characters in media have to REALLY show the fact that they're gay and really point it out because they NEED to. Shows and movies NEED to make sure that their gay characters are well known for the little rep we get. I feel like this makes it almost a little awkward and cringy at times and for me sort of interrupts the story or takes me out of the show. Like, in this word why does it matter? why point it out if its normal and okay?
    This movie just felt like they wrote a relationship that just happens to be gay. It was just such a breath of fresh air to me and I really enjoied it. There wasnt that awkward, we need to make sure they know we we gay. The story and the way the characters interacted explained that very well to us.
    Tldr: as a queer person it was nice to see such a "regular" gay couple in their odd situation lol. I also loved the movies story even if a little predictable or with dabbing hehe

It really changed how we see heroes and fantasies. For instance, when we see a flashback in the series, Loki, with female Loki, she imagines a dragon attacking when the Valkyrie goes to kill it and stop it saving everyone. This is one of the few things to rethink how we see things differently.
