How Nimona Jumped from the Page to the Screen | Netflix 

It's definitely a different story, but it maintains all the same heart of the original comic. Strangely enough, I noticed that a lot of the scenes that carried over were the moments of Nimona and Balister bonding, which I thought was pretty interesting.

Didn't even know it was a book lol I had so many questions I'm sure will be answered in the book. Drfgonna give it a read

Completely agree. The creators knew they weren’t going to fit the whole story into a film so they focused on the characters and themes and it worked. It worked so so well.

@@JESK-rh1tw Well said

How I see this adaption is instead of just going through each scene and trying to make it work as a movie, like many others they instead decided to tear it down to most basic aspects. And rebuild it into their own story, that even though shares similarities is its own thing. It took the DNA of the comic and created a whole new story, world and new interpretations of these characters from those building blocks. It is a pretty cool way of doing an adaption and it honored the comic without retreading the same stuff the comic did but not as well because of time or censorship getting in the way. Even though I do prefer the comic, this is still a great film that has it's own identity and messages of it's own. And the best part is now there are twice as many Nimona in the world, and if you enjoy one of them you will probably love the other. And as both are so different you don't have to worry about the film spoiling the enjoyment of the comic or vice versa.

potential Spoiler shes alive so she still does :,,,,,,,D

@@jenye7 i know. Im praying that we get another movie, to see more of the fun she will bring us.

That probably best Explains the final scene 😁

I mean if you can manipulate your body down to the cellular level, decapitation doesn't even seem that dangerous.

If you think about it, her powers basically made her immortal considering her backstory.

METAL

That's hardcore

spoiler me

I'm here for all the tea

well if you want the spoiler well: it's a bar fight. Also the tensions between those two are way more extreme in the book. There is way more angst and baggage between those two. Let's just say Ballister had way more to say about the whole thing with the arm. That is all I will say, read the book. It is very different than the movie, it pretty much has it's own story. Pretty much all the movie directly took from the book is in the video. Nimona also acts similarly in both but it is really its own thing I really recommend it. It's fun and easily one of my favorite books.

@pinkrose8272 I'm definitely going to have to give it a read. Thank you for that insight . Definitely gave it a new element for me and I'm much more intrigued.

@@pinkrose8272 aye, aye, captain

She was Nimona, a lot of things, especially crazy. Thats what i loved most about her.

@@leocoulson-venn9447and she’s not a people.

@@Otisboy121 no, she's so much more.

Shes a shark

Yes! That or a crossover with the She Ra reboot is mandatory!

@@LauraM96829*wat*

@@LauraM96829I want a fanfic with Ballister and Ambrosius having a double date with Adora and Catra now.

holy crap nice spotting! Completely missed that!

Yes!! I loved how this movie sneaks in as many pride flags as possible. I also spotted a Bi Flag, Pan Flag, Intersex Flag, Aromanic flag and Lesbian Flag throughout the movie and its amazing. Disney could never haha

I never noticed! Thats insane, i love it

I do like the comic more, but the movie is also good. They're both their own thing that I can enjoy for different reasons

I disagree. That conflates with the message. Every character brings some sort of genre subversion in the comic, except her who seems pretty generic. Not making her appearance be a sign of her villainy was a good change.

There's things I like and dislike about both. One thing that bothers me in the movie design is that her face is a bit too generic

I agree, Nimona feels quite different in the movie vs the comic. Movie is better.

I would like that too. Movie was good but I still hope we a get a more faithful serialized adaptation of the comic for older audiences in the future

Ok but in my opinion, it actually made this scene more emotionally poignant in a way that relates to the themes of the movie's story

no, the comic had futuristic stuff too, it was just more subtle than the movie version

basically the comic is a fantasy world with sci fi elements, while the movie is a sci fi world with fantasy elements. The comic and the movie both had ideas from the two genres but each focussed more on different parts. Which I think was a cool choice.

In short, no. But, well, the best way I can explain the difference is that the movie is a futuristic world with medieval elements while the comic is a medieval world with modern and futuristic elements

@@Anonymous_Gambito Or, better than "just because" which has become common blight in modern writing, how about a forgotten/lost colony which fell into mid-medievalism? Those most useful with tech, scientist, became nobility with all other prohibited.

As another trans person, I respectfully disagree. She was violent in the comic, too, she very graphically killed people there, including [spoiler] - I'd say that where movie Nimona has more *action*, comic Nimona has more *violence*, or, at the very least, they're even. Her origin (aside from being tested, which is only part of her story) is left ambiguous in the original, with Gloreth's Beast brought up as one of the options. As for "I'm not a people", she's definitely saying "I'm not like 'normal' people" rather than "I'm not a person", and the former, while not a universally accepted way to talk, rang very true to me.

Seriously? She was violent in the comic, and she may start annoying for others, but she gets warmed up throughout the way. And being tested on would be too predictable and the author loved that change. Oh, and for I'm not a people scene, she obviously meant she's not like other people, as a trans, I know that well, she doesn't mean people people, keep up with it, if you don't like it, fine, but with crap you said doesn't make any sense at all

Well… she isn’t a people. She literally is not human. Her human form is just as much her as every single other form she can take- that’s why she said she can’t stand not transforming. Because that is her nature.

That's not what "people" means in that context. "People" also refers to a town or civilization. She's an anomaly amongst humanity and a rebel with a cause against the kingdom, so her saying, "I'm not a people," is very accurate and not the same thing as her saying, "I'm not a person." Those indicate two different things

I can't speak for the not people thing, but she enjoyed killing people in the comic. Movie Nimona is harmless compared to comic Nimona.
