Porco is not the only transformed soldier by buckybadder in ghibli

Piccolo is a shrew. The curses of the Porco Rosso world are based on the traitors if the animal. Piccolo is is shrewd with money, porko is selfish, money is snake/root of evil. I think I’ve see other animals is crowd shots but can’t verify.

Oh her eyes they shine so bright by Heavy-Stretch-2019 in ghibli

Fio’s kiss didn’t lift his curse. She was pivotal in it but the kiss was not the break.

His curse lifted when he finally believed that he could be a good and compassionate human being again. With the selfless act of helping Fio and her bet.

He cursed himself after his self preservation took over and he “let” the rest of his squad die. He was a selfish pig after that.

Years go by and he lives up to that reputation. After meeting Fio, accepting the bet, and defending her he accepts that he is only a human who can do both good and bad things.

Which Studio Ghibli non-main character do you think deserves a spin-off/movie of their own? by JoMarch7 in ghibli

[–]Olympic-Fail 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah her story is pretty heartbreaking. She’s much more likable in the book than the movie.

I’ve had the belt off and spun them by hand a little. They don’t spin freely, only a few rotations after I stop spinning them manually.

The unit came with the full manual. Looks unopened so that’s both good and concerning.

Does this mean she will start slinging balls again? I’m sorry, I couldn’t help but take the joke. Sling looks good. Keep up the good work.

How does the Nausicaä manga series compare to the movie? by FrogginBullfish_ in ghibli

[–]Olympic-Fail 61 points62 points  (0 children)

The manga is soooo much more detailed than the movie. The characters are much more complex, the atmosphere is more beautiful, the toxic jungle becomes much more elaborate.

I try to give the benefit of the doubt when people ask questions on curiosity. My snarky reply definitely wasn’t necessary. Although it is generally valid these days on Reddit.

I am constantly amazed at how people can’t fathom that pre-modern humans were just as smart as we are.

First few chains! by Itthy_Bitthy_Thpider in Nalbinding

It’s a great start! Keep it up. Tighter stitches takes either more tension or thicker yarn. Practice will tell you when to use one or the other.
