#nimona noticings

[dizzy-pops]

This is just gonna be a definitely NON-exhaustive list of some Nimona Noticings (trademark (/j)) aka, things I’ve noticed in the movie Nimona. This list will not include anything from the comic, as I haven’t read it… yet. Also, THIS WILL CONTAIN SPOILERS!!!

1. When Ballister is thrown in jail, and the Director comes to see him, Ballister runs up to the bars and she flinches. Well, she PRETENDS to flinch. You can tell she is only pretending because of how delayed it is. She wants Ballister to think she is afraid of him, but have you ever tried to fake a flinch? It’s pretty difficult and the Director stepping back very quickly like that looks like she was trying and failing to make it look like she was recoiling in fear at Ballister running up to her, even though he was behind bars. This, on rewatch, is a very clear early indication that the Director was the villain all along. 

2. At the beginning of the movie, when Nimona first shows up as Ballister’s ‘lair,’ there is a power saw on a table. She turns it on, and then seconds later, she leans on the saw and STOPS IT. I’ve been in shop class and so I know that there are certain power tools that stop in less than a second when it detects skin/flesh because of the different electrical signals between wood and hands. But this system ends up breaking the saw blade because of the way that it is stopped by the brake. You can tell that the saw is broken because it sinks down into the table.The saw in the movie does not do this, proving that Nimona STOPPED A FUCKING SAW WITH HER ARM.

3. I haven’t yet seen anyone talk about how fucking cool it is that Ballister makes himself a NEW ARM FROM SCRATCH. And he does this with only ONE FUCKIN ARM! Now THAT is goddamn impressive. If the timeline in this movie is established, I didn’t notice it, but I assume that it’s been a few days or less from the time Ballister ‘kills’ the queen to the time Nimona shows up at his abode. Which means he managed to make himself a brand new arm presumably out of spare metal scraps he found just lying around in jUST A FEW DAYS! 

This post will probably be updated in the future if/when I watch Nimona again and notice some more stuff.

can we talk about how AWESOME it is when the light hits nimona's eyes?

It's the same effect you get when you take a flash photo of an animal!!! it is an incredible detail to demonstrate that she is not human !!! I loved it

#in fact it's super noticeable even for them since the same thing doesn't happen with other people's eyes #so much so that even ambrosius notices when he looks at her #I thought this was a very cute detail #nimona #nimona movie #nd stevenson

Sorry for the poor quality but GUYS.

BABY AMBROSIUS.

I hadn’t noticed until my last rewatch but he’s right there behind ballister!!!

guys guys guys

I just realized something about Ambrosius.

He's the descendant of Gloreth herself, the first knight & hero of the realm.

He's in a gay relationship with Ballister, and his siblings weren't mentioned, so it's safe to assume he's an only child. He can't have kids of his own because he's with a man.

The Knights, as well as the wall ended with Ballister's & Ambrosius' generation.

Gloreth's blooDLINE HAS ENDED WITH HIM

THE FACT THAT HE WONT CONTINUE HIS BLOOD LINE EMPHASIZES THE FACT THAT NO MORE "HERO'S OF THE REALM" WILL BE

HE ENDED WHAT GLORETH STARTED

You can see in the movie that he's being treated differently for being her descendant, and now her bloodline will end

No more Knights, no more "Royals", no more Gloreth. Everyone is equal.

Gosh I love that movie

So... I'm not the only one bugged by this detail, right?

they gave his sword a pistol grip

#nimona #noticed this when pulling refs for my first nimona comic #but haven't seen anyone say anything about it since

two sides of the same coin

She’s afraid of being considered a monster, and acts chaotic and spunky but is actually extremely vulnerable.

When her fear takes over, she wants to destroy the monster.

She’s afraid of ever encountering a monster, and acts stoic and calm but is actually extremely vulnerable and unstable.

When her fear takes over, she wants to destroy the monster.

They’re actually more similar than we give them credit for.

#the director #nimona #just something to think about #anybody else notice this? #am I thinking too deep into this? probably #Nobody talks about how nimona is also incredibly fearful of herself #or how the director is very mentally vulnerable through her instability #nimona film #duality #remind yourself that in my mind the director’s name is still lilith #Petition for her canonical name to be Lilith Morgania Steadfast please? It suits her #all the hashtags. ever.

Why are ‘The Emo one is soft for The Sunshine one’ couples the best and greatest ship trope??

EDIT: If I’ve upset or offended anyone with my misuse of words, I should ask all of you, as a person from subculture, and as a fan of many shows and books, not to take posts like this too seriously or literally. These are very broad subculture categories I am describing, and it was not my intention to cause any arguments. Please accept my sincerest apologies on the matter, and instead of nit-picking, I invite you to make your own list of your own interpretation, with words you deem fit.

I've been taking five jillion screenshots of every scene in the lair bc I'm trying to figure out its layout for art reasons, and I got this one... look at his face... he's so happy to see her having fun 😭

been thinking about how ambrosius is largely shown commanding and acting as a leader to the knights for most of the movie, especially in the movie's climax. I also keep thinking about how he graduated at the same time as bal, and the time jump between then and the rest of the plot can't be longer than a few months.

all this to say that chances are, ambrosius was immediately forced into a position of leadership on account of his lineage, which puts his internal rant to the director in a whole new light

#“a direct descendant of gloreth? I never asked for that” what if I cried #I love noticing lil details like this #it shows just how much the writers thought through the corruption and power dynamics at play in the kingdom #also #this would have still happened if ballister was knighted ofc #so now I'm picturing ambrosius being forced up the ranks immediately while bal is kept from advancing at every turn #just food for thought #or food for fanfiction if that's what you're into #nimona netflix #nimona film #ambrosius goldenloin #nimona ambrosius #nimona

More Nimona headcanons cause I'm bored

Bal and Ambrosius are absolutely those people who take Valentines Day seriously 

But not in the way you would think

They’re not that couple that acts like Valentine's Day is specific to couples

No they acknowledge that its about all kind of love platonic, familial, self love the whole shebang

So they go out of their way to spend time with their friends and loved ones and take time to take care of themselves 

Some years they even host little get together with their loved ones

Like don't get me wrong they absolutely spoil each other rotten and have stupidly sappy romantic dinners 

But that isn’t the main focus of the day

They kind of expected Nimona to hate Valentine's Day 

I mean it seems like the perfect time for her to rant about how “Valentine's Day is a made up Holiday by greeting card companies”

But they fucking love Valentine's Day 

It’s the one day out of the year that their favorite colors are spread across the city and chocolate is literally everywhere 

They even participate in the boy's little get-togethers and help them set up

So in my personal opinion there is no way that a singular person in the trio had a normal childhood 

In the clip of Bal jumping the fence he looked around 7-9 which is when I assume he started his training and we can assume he was homeless before that

Ambrosius has been training to be a knight since he was a kid

And the only moments we got to see Nimona being a kid were with Gloreth which is really short in the grand scheme of her existence 

So I like to think that they take at least one day out of the month to do something childish

Whether that be going to an amusement park, hanging out in an arcade, going to a movie theater and then getting ice cream afterward

You know things that none of them got to do when they were “kids”

And slowly but surely they start to heal their inner child

They really look forward to those days and it becomes the highlight of their month

I feel like the trio all have different ideas of money

Even though he didn’t have a great childhood money was never something he dreamed of worrying about

And not in like a snobby way either (it’s lowkey cute to watch this grown man try and wrap his head around taxes)

There have been multiple times when Bal has expressed that he wants something and Ambrosius buys it without thinking 

Bal will just look at him and go “Love this was 6,000 dollars” and Ambrosius just tilts his head like a golden retriever and goes “Yeah is that okay”

All the while Bal is trying not to puke because he hasn’t held more than 400 dollars in his hand 

Nimona has no concept of money because whenever he wanted something he’d steal it 

He’s been around longer than money so he finds the concept incredibly amusing 

She’s gotten in multiple arguments with finance bros because she’s said with a straight face “Why can’t we just print more?” 

And she just laughed as their faces got progressively redder because she genuinely doesn’t get it 

Bal is on the complete opposite side of the spectrum 

He’s always been cautious of his spending 

And while this isn’t inherently a bad thing it’s stopped him from doing things he really wants 

Slowly but surely Nimona and Ambrosius have gotten him to break those habits 

Mostly by spending Ambrosius' families money

And no one was surprised, except everyone pictured here.

So this is a thing I’m doing now, I guess! I was initially going to make an ask blog, but I think people aren’t really as interested in ask blogs as they once were? So I’m just going to do some comics on my own steam now and then, but if anyone wanted to send me asks I certainly wouldn’t be averse to it 👀

talking of nimona, i think it's such a nice detail that when nimona says that children are taught that they can be heroes if they put a sword through the heart of anything different, ballister looks away

it's brief, the camera's only on him for a moment, but you can see him look down, look away from her

bc that was him

#idk i've probably said smth about this before #but it just hit very hard the first time i noticed it #his 'oh shit' moment #i think that's when he changed #started to really accept her #i should watch this movie again (i have watched it like half a dozen times) #nimona
