Taking advantage of the free Nimona video and....wow, the Director really believes her own bullshit here. Like it's not just a show for Ballister's sake (or at least, not completely), she genuinely believes that he's ultimately responsible for her actions by being common and disruptive and that he forced her to murder her queen to stop him from becoming a knight. "Today, everyone will see you for who you really are." "She thought someone like you could be a hero, and it cost her her life." She literally runs Gloreth's direct descendant through with a sword and then in the moment after he "dies", her reaction is "May Gloreth forgive you." Not me, never me, no matter how many people I have to kill. May Gloreth forgive you for existing in a way that inconvenienced me even slightly.
Like the religious aspect is not subtle, as far as the Director is concerned her every word and thought and action is the will of Gloreth herself and challenging her is a sacrilegious act. Ballister can change, Ambrosius and the knights can change, the whole kingdom can sit there watching Nimona break down and decide they were wrong about her and accept her, and the Director is still standing on the battlements demanding that they blow up the city because it's what she wants and the mere idea that she could ever be wrong is blasphemy.
Which is a genuinely good message for the film's younger audience as a whole. "Yes, people can change and become better. Yes, whole societies can change and become better. Yes, people deserve second chances. But there are some people who cannot and will not change, and you shouldn't lose sleep over your inability to convert them."
There's something hilarious about how so much subsequent media has positioned Vampires and Werewolves as, like, binary opposite entities, and then you read Dracula (1897) and realize that wolves are that guy's preferred solution to every problem. You'd say something to Dracula about "ah yes, werewolves, vampires' great eternal enemies," and he'd just be like "you mean my subcontractors?"
Remember not to praise Disney itself for diversity and inclusion in new Baymax show. You should be thanking animators and directors for pushing this idea which Disney was probably 100% opposed to in the first place. Remember leaked emails written to Alex Hirsh? Don't get fooled.
Ive mentioned this on twitter but i feel the absolute need to reiterate how absolutely FUCKED the circumstances of Hob's immortality actually is.
It isnt a REWARD or PUNISHMENT for something he'd done. At no point was Hob ACTIVELY consulted about it. He was DRUNK, freshly returned from fighting a war for a king that let half his village (and likely his entire family) die from the Black Plague. Hob's immortality was the result of a wager between two entities of higher power than most Gods, he was the pawn of a GAME. Sure, Death had ulterior motives (wanting to give Dream a friend and for him to get out of the house.) But as far as Dream was aware this entire debacle was to see how long this measly peasant of a human could stand being alive before it drives him insane. In fact, the Centennial dates were so he could periodically check and WATCH.
Effectively, it was like if two people picked up some random grasshopper and dropped him into a mug of wine, watching to see how long he would stay alive with no lifeline. Humans arent DESIGNED to live that long.
AND YET. HOB DID.
For the most BATSHIT reason of....wanting to experience the mundanity and unfiltered joy of simple living. Do you understand how INSANE that is? And Dreamling as a concept is...my friend had explained it as; imagine defying God's will SO HARD HE FALLS IN LOVE WITH YOU. Imagine being SO UNHINGED in hope and optimism of Earthly Experiences an entity powerful than most Gods that HATE humans FALLS IN LOVE WITH YOU.
Like, FUCK. This ship drives me crazy. There is simply nobody out there like Robert "Hob" Gadling and there will be no other.
