The team also speaks about developing the film’s tone and style.
And it’s called Raya and the Last Dragon.’” The scene was cut and Namaari reimagined as more of an antagonist. But then “we were like, ‘Oh crap, we’re only 15 minutes into the film and now we’re all on Namaari’s side. In an early scene, she was to save people by doing “super-athletic martial arts things,” says Nguyen. Namaari, Raya’s friend-turned-nemesis, hews more closely to this archetype, but she too changed a lot in development. The filmmakers wanted to avoid the “boring trope” of a quiet badass, like Uma Thurman’s Bride in Kill Bill: “It’s hard for a kid to want to be that … there’s no personality there to attain as a kid.”
“There was a very stereotypical samurai story that you could tell - which we could easily have fallen into,” says Nguyen.
