Something I'm sad didn't make it into the Nimona film was more about Ballister's arm like, the comic had a whole thing about the Institute not having use for a one-armed hero, and that being part of why they began framing him as the villain

#like the film focused on other parts of him which was by no means a bad thing (not just him being gay also the fact the director scapegoated #a lower-class dark-skinned guy) but i Do miss the bit about his arm #it got me thinking of richard iii like how he gets portrayed in the shakesperean play w/ a limp and a withered arm #and the thing is i Cannot be normal about richard iii because like. okay ive seen his skeleton #and if we ignore how he doesnt look like me the curve of his spine is a different degree in a different place #well if we ignore that He Looks Like Me #this is getting off topic my point is about the comic's take on making disabled people into villains #nimona
