#and the imposing statue wielding a golden sword in the middle of the city

[esdeaths]

Are you telling me that the "legendary battle" gloreth waged against the monsters was just a child raising a play sword against their shapeshifting best friend because her village was scared of them and now an entire civilization is built on the ideaolgy of a glorious knight fighting a great evil thats only based on the fear of a very small group of people 1000 years ago

#nimona#can you guess what i just watched?#i thought it was pretty alright#but the more i think about the implications the worse it becomes#the warping of history to benefit a narative those in power tell the people#idk this part just really struck me#they did such a good job with the transition of actual gloreth to the idolization of her#the juxtaposition of a child with a wooden sword#scared and wanting to be accepted by her community#and the imposing statue wielding a golden sword in the middle of the city#it was all about fear#we dont even know if the “monsters” are multiple#or just a single lonely girl#wanting to also be accepted by a community#the implications this movie presents is just aahhh
