Nimona (2023)

Instant Comments:
1a: hehe Goldenloin
1a: hmm hardworking versus inherited... I wonder what other popular stories have this as a core theme.
1a: interesting that Goldenloin happens to be in love with Ballister
1a: I thought he was gonna be booed on stepping on the stage
1a: oh no... framed. the squire was saying trying to say something... I wonder if it was related
1a: hehe her eyes "did they let you keep the old one"?
1a: lol how did she get in and out...
1a: smile Nimona knocking everything down...
1a: oic. Rhino. that's how she easily got in and out
1a: "you did that on purpose" "you catch on quick boss"; loving it so far; fast paced and awesome; I gotta watch this movie again soon after finishing it
1a: haha! shark.
1a: "there is a villain on the loose" huh... does the Director have a motive...
1a: "I hate babies"
1a: attention given to the director. maybe my hunch was right.
1a: why did you get to kill him?
1a: cute little demon boy
1a: I was right on two counts but... I suppose it was obvious. in any case what now...
1a: hahaha "Or am I?"
1a: wow. they have evidence but his instinct is not to simply reveal it...
1a: hehe. his thoughts match Nimona's sentiments. chop off arm... arm chopping is not a love language
1a: they were like this when I got here
1a: lol... they didn't make a backup? well I imagine the servers have a backup
1a: I hope he says "she is Nimona"
1a: nice during the fight against Ambrosia he says some good rhings about Nimona
1a: aww... she saved the kid but got no thanks for it
1a: paused at 54 minutes
1b: what? would he have really let his guard down?
1b: ahh. the twist.
1b: hehe, smile. he says "metal"
1b: can a shark dance?
1b: but this cant be the end yet
1b: what!!! it seemed like he was on Bal's side and apparently well the reveal... we'll see how things shake out
1b: huh, I thought he left the conversation on Nimona's side but he came back totally convinced thay she was the bad one... I'm confused here
1b: I had read a review the other day that meantioned no backstory. while perhaps there's no origin story, I would say what's being shown here counts as backstory
1b: oh wow. her friend turns out to be Gloreth...
1b: that's cold "go back to the shadow from whence you came"
1b: hmm this part reminds me of Ralph Breaks the Internet where a broken friendship is more or less the cause of a monster attack on the city. so I'm guessing mending the friendship will really be all it takes to solve the problem (I'm also getting Moana with Tafiti vibes)
1b: "what I have done?" yes what have you done... (well we the viewer got to see the backstory)
1b: wow. that scream of pain...
1b: "I see you, Nimoma" (huh isn't that what Moana said to Tafiti?) [no, Moana finishes the song with "You know who you are" and earlier she sings""I know your name"][20230904: I suppose "I see you" should conjure associations to the Na'vi in Avatar]
1b: what!?! "fire the cannons"?
1b: did Nimona take the form of a phoenix?
1b: huh. the Director also said "go back to the shadow from whence you came"
1b: I wouldn't imagine she's actually gone but she could be (as in, it works)
1b: what exactly is on the other side of the wall anyways?
1b: "hey boss" "holy sh..."
1b: I asked Ben if he understood what happened (at the end). Ben said yes that other people said Nimona is a monster.

Credits:
1b: hehe a knight is flossing (a little after the start of the Blue Sky Studio credit segment)
1b: after the credits, Nimona spray paints the heart logo
1b: wannatalkaboutit.com
