I Think A Running Theme In This Season Of Miraculous Ladybug Is That Everyone Is Making Mistakes. Obviously

I think a running theme in this season of Miraculous Ladybug is that everyone is making mistakes. Obviously the undertone for the season is trust and lies (the first 2 episodes). But in this season all those misguided lies and half truths are going to pile up into some big grand event. And I can't wait to see it all unfold. Nobody is "right" in this season. There's a lot going on that should really not be. Ladybug should be telling her partner about all the new developments. Chat Noir should be voicing his concerns with Ladybug. Alya shouldn't have gone behind Marinette's back to tell her boyfriend after Mari asked her to keep it a secret. Nino shouldn't have outed his and his girlfriend's hero identities to Adrien. And Luka shouldn't have lied to Ladybug. We're watching two cars driving towards each other at full speed, just waiting for the crash.

One take that I keep seeing on Wishmaker is that Luka did his job and made the right decision and was being selfless.

No. He f***ing lied.

Luka had 2 jobs. Reset time if Ladybug and/or Chat noir got hit. And figure out how to stop Wishmaker.

Luka had time to see Ladybug and Chat noir get hit. He had a full 5 seconds use the bracelet instead of staring like a goldfish. WE KNOW it takes a bit before the magic kicks in. That is Luka's window.

Now in the case of Ladybug. You could argue he was mortified he accidentally deflected the blast at her. Maybe not really knowing how much time he had. Fair. Give him the first one because he didnt know how fact acting it was and likely was stunned by his actions.

But he has no excuse for Chat noir. As soon as he saw him get hit. He should have known to close his eyes and reset immediately.

Afterward, he tells Ladybug that her and Chat noir's identities are safe. Now in this instance. This is not a lie. He is not in anyway letting on that he knows. And he is saying the truth.

But then she asks before leaving if it was safe even from him.

This is where he ACTIVELY deceives her. She asked him if he knew. Her putting trust in him to tell her honestly and he lied.

This is a flaw, a selfish lie. This is something that should not be commended. But it is something that makes him interesting as a character.

I think that him making a call like this would be interesting, it should have some repercussions. But I hate how people glorify it as some grand choice and that what he did wasnt wrong . If he was being selfless he would have ADMITTED he saw. He would accept the failure and even if Marinette was mad at him for it.

This action is wrong and selfish. Stop being like

"Oh ItS cAuSe He CaReS aBoUt HeR fEeLiNgS."

No, if anything he would know how CRUCIAL this secret was. Considering how she couldnt tell him. The fact that he knows without her KNOWLEDGE AND ACTIVELY lied to her about knowing when asked. He is violating her trust.

Its a selfish action, it makes him flawed. Makes him more relatable. Simply accept that.

It makes me hopeful they do something with this. Perhaps have it come to bite him in the butt.
