Why isn't Nausicaa a Christ-figure?

Here for a special episode, Christian Ashley brings on guest, Herbie Ramsey, to discuss the film, "Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind"! While it isn't technically a Studio Ghibli film, it is often listed among them and one of the best!

.

Is Nausicaä the first Ghibli movie? Was Nausicaä inspired by Dune? What is Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind about? Is Nausicaä a love story? What is the message of Nausicaä? Why does Nausicaä dress turn blue? Why is Nausicaä not wearing pants? Why do people like Nausicaä? Who does Nausicaä end up with? Why is Nausicaä not Ghibli? What is the monster in Nausicaä? Is Nausicaä about nuclear war? We discuss all this and more in this one! Join in the conversation with us on Discord now!

Systematic Geekology

Our show focuses around our favorite fandoms that we discuss from a Christian perspective. We do not try to put Jesus into all our favorite stories, but rather we try to ask the questions the IPs are asking, then addressing those questions from our perspective. We are not all ordained, but we are the Priests to the Geeks, in the sense that we try to serve as mediators between the cultures around our favorite fandoms and our faith communities.

About the Podcast

Systematic Geekology
Priests to the Geeks
This is not a trap! (Don't listen to Admiral Ackbar this time.) We are just some genuine geeks, hoping to explore some of our favorite content from a Christian lense that we all share. We will be focusing on the geek stuff - Star Wars, Marvel, LOTR, Harry Potter, etc. - but we will be asking questions like: "Do Clones have souls?" "Is Superman truly a Christ-figure?" or "Is it okay for Christians to watch horror films?"
