she was never even that fat! which was also part of the power of it!! It's just a bummer.

just look at how they "evened" out the entire lower portion of her body. yikes.

Also btw the amount of people in the comments and the QTs completely unbothered by this change/seemingly not even registering it is very telling lol and also depressing.

But you know. This is par for the course for YA authors who get cred and recs and applause for making fat characters ... until the second they get adaptations that is.

This is why I rarely, rarely recommend books about fat characters that aren't by authors who are presently fat and who use the word. Because other people will 1. Quickly sell us out 2. Cast/draw etc. thin people and swear to your face they aren't changing anything.

@misskubelik It sucks in general when fat characters either don't exist or are sidelined, but actively slimming a hero down for an adaptation? Hurts even worse.

@aDillonDev yeah my brain is still kind of glitching on the image tbh with you because like I don't know I can't sort of process that's Nimona, you know? Again! Not even that fat! A small fat, no doubt. But BIG in the hips and the bottom. And now -- just disorienting (and sad) to see.

@misskubelik ohhhhh that’s why it doesn’t look like her at all

@asunflowerpose it's just the change from graphic novel to live action you see that's all that's all it is

@misskubelik I’m so tired and sad too. The shading is maybe dramatic but also feels like trying to create an even slimmer impression. So many kids being told their even slightly bigger bodies are not allowed to exist in media. That they are not allowed to be heroes.

@lifebreakingin yeah I thought maybe the shadow was ... trying to trick us into thinking maybe she's fatter?? Which, as I said, she was - at best - a small fat. But this is just basically erasing her large hips, thighs, and bottom as well as her rounder chest area.

@misskubelik Nimona having a thigh gap is depressing 😔 like damn body neutrality is already over in the age of ozempic

@billtries The whole bottom part of her body versus the comic is basically gone 🙃🙃

@fugitiverabbit completely unsurprised and you still hate to see it

@misskubelik God me too :(

@misskubelik That... really doesn't even look like her though.

@misskubelik awww, look at her cute figures. I love it. I'm going to look up the graphic novel.

@misskubelik i just imagine her getting slimmer after each meeting

@misskubelik Just saw how she looked in the comic, and yeah, Netflix is awful
