Nausicaä is a prototypical Mary Sue. Miyazaki's characterizations got better as time went on.
I think what my daughter's trying to say is: nyah nyah nyah nyah.

Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I couldn't agree more. Also, the good guys were all good and the bad guys were all bad. The only ambiguity was in the motives of the gigantic cthulhu monsters.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Aw, I love Nausicaa. More than Mononoke, even, which I found more convoluted than complex.

I think Freddy Quimby should walk out of here a free hotel
Delurking.
'Cause I see things I want to respond to and then think "Damn, I better delurk before jumping into a conversation". And then I don't and the whole demented cycle begins again.
So... hello.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Hello! Uh, I'm not really sure how to nick your name. IANRAS?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Let's use Spring, for maximum irony value.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Well, since s/he is not really a spring, maybe we should use "Spring," so the quotes can imply the not-really-a-spring-ness....

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Well, we can use =!Spring, no?
Or, Spring. Although with the html, that's more letters to type than IAmNotReallyASpring. Hmmmm...

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Welcome Not!Spring.
