I think people getting their politics from animated movies for children is so annoying. That being said I think Nimona was Unironically one of the most ideologically complex and serious treatments of modern antisemitism I’ve ever seen.
#I have a longer post#I’d be sooo curious to pick riz Ahmed’s brain on this lolllll#Things that make you remember the fact that he has a ppe degree from 0xf*rd#You’re historical you’re dead you’re still a round you’re the monster at the gate you’re not real#Could you just stop being different?#I think there’s very serious discussion post 9/11 prevent police/Islamophobia in this movie too#Like I’m not even joking.#I think what makes Nimona different is it doesn’t stop at hatred is bad!!!!#It unpacks the ways that that hatred is created in society and is useful to the preservation of social orders#Like. The kids aren’t *born* hating monsters#They play monster hunting games and eat cereal advertised via monster hunting#This supports the legitimizing conspiracy of gloreth’s state#So too is it not Nimona’s fault for not /just loving herself/ when the world hates her#Oppressed people can internalize their own oppression and it’s Not their fault#It’s just like. Actually interested in all this

#i lovelovelove stumbling across good meta like this... thank you for feeding the nimona enthusiast i am <3#while i had already noted some of the themes/metaphors you listed when (re)watching this movie there is another i had not seen/thought of#before - namely: antisemitism. i was initially only reading nimona's character through a queer lens - and aaaaa#you are So right and i can't believe i didn't think of it...#anyway this is such an interesting and relevant analysis and i will never stop thinking about it#nimona#-> it was the movie of the year for me... it's still displayed on my letterboxd page as one of my favorites bcs. yeah.
