A webcomic called “Nimona” developed a following for its character, Nimona, who defies societal conventions and is seen as a trans allegory by some readers. The comic was later adapted into an award-winning graphic novel by creator ND Stevenson. Stevenson, who later came out as trans-masculine, discusses the process of adapting his own story into a film. He explains that while the graphic novel was personal to him, he was open to changes in the adaptation. The film explores unseen aspects of the story, particularly the motion and action of the shapeshifting character Nimona. Stevenson also discusses changes made to the character of Goldenloin and the expansion of his relationship with Ballister. Overall, Stevenson feels fortunate that the film still feels like a version of the story he recognizes. The project has changed in meaning for him over time as it grew from a small comic to a webcomic to a graphic novel and now a movie.
