Okay, so I have a question about the Nimona comic. We all know that in the comics, Ballister lost his right arm and now has to wear a prosthetic. But in the flashback, Ambrosius' rigged lance shoots at Ballister and hits him on the left side while his right arm is facing away from the explosion. Like how?

Comic GoldenHeart Modern AU shenanigans based on that one episode of The Looney Tunes Show where Ballister for some discreet reason goes to the mall to buy something for a scheme and Ambrosius who so happens to be there too sees him and follows him around to see what he's up to and notices him buying a really cute hand bag and remembers that the two have their anniversary upcoming Friday and panics and plans out everything for them, including a present for Ballister, not knowing that Ballister had also forgotten that it was their anniversary.
It either goes an angsty route or a funny one (leading to spicy after).
Personally I prefer the funny route where Ballister leaves the restaurant telling Ambrosius that he left his gift in the car and either asks Nimona's and Meredith's help, or, he does the thing Bugs did in the ep and tackles whoever has the same bag he bought at the mall and takes it from them for him.

I've seen lots of post recommending reading Nimona comics before watching the movie.
But honestly I think you should do it the other way around.
I enjoyed the movie but I loved the comics much more for all the moral grayness and questionable actions. I know that if I read the comics first I'd feel kind of disappointed by the movie.
#I'm not really saying the movie is worse or inferior. I like it as it is and they really cannot be properly compare#The movie and the comics are two completely separate things with similar premise and few story beats#nimona#nimona comics#mEye post

How dare You leave this in the tags.
nimona the webcomic and nimona the netflix movie are so thematically different and come from such different periods in the artist's (nd stevenson) life and our lives and I love that?? I love the bitterness and angst and how morally gray the graphic novel was, just as much as I love the hopefulness and compassion and how unapologetically trans the netflix film is. watching his work grow as he grew older and I grew older and more secure in my sexuality, is just - so special. it's a rare thing to grow in parallel with the work of an artist you love, especially a queer artist, and I'm so fucking happy this film got made, especially with all its differences to the original work. something something to be loved is to be changed idk lmao.

“Did you see the way that little girl looked at me? Kids. Little kids. They grow up believing that they can be a hero if they drive a sword into the heart of anything different. And I’m the monster? I don’t know what’s scarier. The fact that everyone in this kingdom wants to run a sword through my heart or that sometimes I just wanna let ‘em.” “We have to get you out of here. Over the wall. We won’t stop until we find some place safe, okay? We’ll go. Together. No matter what we do, we can’t change the way people see us.” “You changed the way you see me... Didn’t you?
NIMONA (2023), based on the comic by ND Stevenson, who came out as transgender in 2022

Rolling on the floor at the concept that Ambrosius is canonically a weird ass name, like in-universe it’s not a normal fucking name
Ambrosius Goldenloin
HIS NAME IS IMMORTAL BIGDICK

How the bar meetup scene ended in the comic
the dynamic between Goldenloin and Blackheart is just so much more complex and bitter in the comic. They’re both a lot more morally gray, and Blackheart does more than look at people with sad puppy eyes. Sure Nimona’s bitter, but he is too.
Anyway, I still love the movie, but everyone should read the comic <3

I read the comic in one sitting less than an hour after finishing the movie, and wow I have many Thoughts™.
- It's very obvious the two versions were meant to cater to different audiences AND tell different messages. I don't get why people are going "But the comic was better! It had more nuance!" just because Nimona was easier to root for in the movie.
- The comic was written back when ND Stevenson was still trying to process a lot of stuff, so all the characters are morally grey/straight up evil and the climactic battle is between a Ballister who regrets turning against Nimona, even if it was to save others vs. a Nimona who's too hurt to care if her lashing out was going to hurt innocent people.
- By the time Nimona got a movie adaptation, ND was a lot more secure in his sexuality, so the climactic battle was Nimona vs. the Director, the symbol of religious oppression and bigotry. It's not just about your friends turning on you because you're "too much" for them anymore, it's also about a society that would rather bring itself to the brink of ruin than coexist with you.
- (I totally get why people were upset about Ballister's surname change, though. Like come on, the media dubbing him Blackheart just to be mean was RIGHT THERE).
- Nimona's metaphor for not shifting is such a neurodivergent thing. Even in the comic, Nimona's parents insisting she's a monster who replaced their daughter is reminiscent of the changeling myth, which is what many parents thought their neurodivergent kids were—changelings who replaced their "real" children.
- Ambrosius being trained to cut off HIS BOYFRIEND'S WHOLE FUCKING ARM instead of merely disarming him is a very cop thing to do. As much as cops claim they're trained to de-escalate situations, their training still teaches them to treat everyone as a potential threat, and that level of constant vigilance can turn anyone into a trigger-happy/arm-choppy bastard. Even the Director, who can use a sword but probably hasn't actually fought someone in ages, STILL can't see Ballister reaching for the squire's phone without assuming he has a weapon.
- And on that note, the Queen getting killed simply because she was trying to reform the Institution and allow commoners to become knights? That's the best "no such thing as a good cop" metaphor I've seen. Because even if there ARE good cops and they ARE in leadership positions, the system will crush them before they make any meaningful change. It's not a good institution that turned rotten, it's an institution that only exists to spread its rot and refuses to be good.
- That's why Ballister's characterisation is so different in the movie vs. the comic. Comic Ballister had 15 years to come to terms with his trauma and the Institution's evildoing, while Movie Ballister is still freshly traumatised and hasn't found a way to define himself beyond the role he was assigned by the Institution.
- Not to mention Comic Ambrosius was not very noble to begin with and genuinely believed Ballister was better suited to villainy than heroism, while Movie Ambrosius never wanted the glory that came with his lineage in the first place and only antagonised Ballister because of indoctrination he needed to unlearn (which he did, all by himself, after witnessing the lengths the Director will go to just to kill Nimona).
- It really shows how important it is to surround yourself with loved ones who are open to change. Comic Ambrosius can love Ballister all he wants, but he'll still blast his arm off because he thinks Ballister deserved it anyway. Movie Ambrosius will stop to question what "the right thing" even means, even if he didn't love Ballister enough to defend him unconditionally.
I have so many more thoughts bubbling beneath the surface, but I'll probably address them some other day. In conclusion:
[ID: A pink-haired Nimona grinning evilly while holding up a knife.]
Watch Nimona. This is not a request.
Edit: Added more thoughts!

Twenty year old Ambrosius
Hi!
I know this is silly but I love how different both Ambrosius are sjds
Did my best to make a biblically accurate movie Ambrosius waa (also realized I draw him however I want 🧍 I mean, like I do with any character I guess whwh)
Also I love the comic art style because their hands are so tiny you can barely see them 100/10 very cute, also love that little blush on Ambrosius' cheeks (if I'm not wrong that's from Ballister's memories?? anyways he's so cute)
Also the thingy is based over this image, but with a good ending because both designs are cool sjddks
#nimona#ambrosius goldenloin#my art#should do a version with ballister bc he actually looks older than 20 jsdkjd#and do nimona too why not but i feel that she's very accurate to her comic design#todo el presupuesto se fue en dibujar al ambrosio de la peli
