Wetterdew 03/15/21 2:51:11 AM #26:	Ricemills posted... pretty sure it's not. Nagas are humanoids with serpent tail instead of legs. it's just a Disney dragon with Southeast Asia flavor. No, I'm right: Awkwafinas voice in the film, Sisu, was inspired by Southeast Asian Naga, a water-related snake-like creature. Aesthetic choices are also subtly ingrained in symbolism. The difference between an eastern or Chinese dragon and Naga is that Chinese dragons are based on luck and power, explains screenwriter Kui Nguyen. And Naga, because its water, its life and hope. Its just a small difference. I dont want a dragon to come to empower Raya to attacks more people. I wanted something that would inspire her to open her heart and trust. "The Naga are protectors of the water realm. Whenever we go to temples or anything that relates to water, you're going to see symbols of the Naga as a protector," Lao visual anthropologist Steve Arounsack, who worked as a consultant on the film, explained to THR. Sisu is meant to reference the Naga, a snakelike guardian from Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism. The Naga is said to inhabit the Mekong River, a nearly 3,000-mile-long waterway flowing through Southeast Asia.

tri sapphire 03/15/21 6:19:01 AM #33:	viewmaster_pi posted... even on the wikipedia page for naga, it has a human body If you read the words on the wikipedia page, it explains that transforming from a full serpent-like form to either a half-human or full human form is a common trait Nagas are given in Southeast Asian lore. It is a vague fusion of various Naga from a bunch of different cultures though, with legs added on (which are absent in most of those cultures) to make it more dragon-like and palatable for Western audiences who don't have any frame of reference for legless dragons. Also, yes, the movie was good. Thought I'd get tired of Awkwafina's because of how recognizable it was, but it worked. Just wish it had been a bit longer, as it did feel rather rushed throughout. --- "If history is to change, let it change! If the world is to be destroyed, so be it!
