glad to see ppl are appreciating and/or enjoying the gay and trans aspects of nimona's story but ngl i kinda want to see more ppl acknowledge and/or discussing the fact that both of the leading men are asian and how that is relevant to overall message of this movie actually

#idk this just me but so far i have seen like zero posts on my tl discussing how ballister and ambrosius #being men of color further enhances the movie's narrative and the intersectionality that comes w it #yeah despite ambrosius and ballister both being asian they're still of different backgrounds #ambrosius is east asian while ballister is south asian #how part of their designs are meant take after their respective voice actors #the fact that in the story ballister grew up poor and queen who decided to take uplift him was a black woman #that ballister had to train twice hard be twice good than other knights bc for him he had be anything but exceptional #and then we could talk abt how w ambrosius sm emphasis is put on the fact that he's a descendant of gloreth (a white woman) as an asian man #idk man i just think more ppl should be taking note of the decision to change #these two from originally being white men to asian men in this adaption and how that is significant actually #nimona #robi rambles
