Like There's Just So Much Going On In Miraculous Ladybug Like It's A Baby Kids Show That Has Akumas Every

the ONE advantage the sentimonster adrien thing has, storytelling-wise, the one thing it has going for itself, is that it makes emilie tremendously interesting, even more than we expected. not only are both her husband and son obsessed with her, not only do they have goddamn STATUES of her in their home, but she also created her son in her image. with the same exact looks, the same delicate beauty and cat-like green eyes, the same sensitive and turbulent and emotional personality... it's deranged and narcissistic and plain weird. there is SO much that could be done here if the show plays its cards right. alas, since it's the agrestes, we'll get nothing as usual. ✌️

making marinette similar to the main antagonist is interesting for sure you know i thought it was on purpose in the sense of the protagonist and antagonist being foils. a way to connect marinette and gabriel beyond just through adrien. kind of the point of doing that though is to define to the audience how though they're so similar, the protagonist has made different choices or has a character trait that changed their path from what the villain has done. but in this case marinette and gabriel are both control freaks who dole out power and take it away. knowing the persons identity but not vice versa, they're fashion designers who just want to "protect xyz" or whatever. both of them are lying to adrien for the "greater good." y'all what the Fuck is going on. im so serious. it's not marinettes fault this happened because shes literally such a good character when the writing room isn't obsessed with bending the universe to make gabriel win. can someone on that team get over that their kids left them and accept they're a bad father already it's getting serious

@wavebiders sorry to screenshot your tags but i agree with all of this so much + the examples. the messaging has always irked me about ml. for a kids show with an akuma of the day it's a pretty perfect set up to have those kids show episode formulas of learning a moral every episode but the morals ml teaches is, quite frankly, insane. which would be fine if it was for a little bit of an older audience but it's NOT. i dont know for some reason ive always seen miraculous as quite honestly pretty mean spirited in its storytelling...

like there's just so much going on in miraculous ladybug like it's a baby kids show that has akumas every week and is funny and has cute romance which is what i expected and i assume most people wanted. and then it also has insane themes from things such as having a miraculous that has a power of creating designer babies forced to do whatever you want; which is not inherently bad i actually think it's a fascinating topic to explore but maybe in a horror movie. not the baby kids show that is mainly a feel good romance? i suppose the idea is to make it more similar to avatar and other family focused shows where it is both fun but has adult themes that cater to parents watching, but in this case they could handle their more adult themes with like a smidgen more care than they do. instead they introduce shit like sentimonsters and waffle on the morality of doing stuff like: killing them. GIRL‼️ this is a baby kids show we're teaching children MORALS‼️ murder is bad guys. unless the heroes do it 💖

im gonna finish my ml google doc rewrite because now that adrien is confirmed a senti i finally have closure on what to do with it. its gonna be all the changes + the outline and im gonna pin it to this blog like martin luther and that damn church door. so far i have 5 seasons planned and i have no intention of 14 so we're automatically winning.

sorry to everyone following me im not done. so like okay i haven't kept up with season 6 much. does Marinette still not tell Adrien anything. like they're in a relationship but Adrien doesn't know anything about his dad or the sentimonster thing?? like the amoks? because I just want to say if no one has written 20 years in the future divorce fic.......... the custody battle would be crazy. can you imagine. "she knew there were rings that could remote control me and did not inform me of the fact." "you've been wearing them the whole time i didn't remote control you!" "okay but when we held hands when we said our vows?" "IT DOESNT WORK LIKE THAT" "HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW YOU DIDNT TELL ME ANYTHING." i simply think it'd be the best psychological horror and also a comedy of all time.

maybe i could crack open my rewrite doc again... make her sparkle...

i think miraculous ladybug should be legend of korra season 1. in the sense there's like a romance plotline that drives a lot of character drama but the main driver of conflict is the setting itself of a nitty gritty under city with a lot of problems with a heroine slowly discovering it outside of its sparkly exterior - mostly set at night, noir type aesthetics and undercover missions, an intimidating faceless villain that manipulates crowds. the thing is that legend of korra also sucks to me but more in the political messaging it does (it doesn't let korra make any substantial changes to her world) but it's a shit ton better than miraculous ladybug. but generally i think lok season 1 is the Vibe and Tone that the miraculous with the current themes would most fit? like aiming for an older audience but not an ADULT show.

miraculous ladybug sucks but the one thing that was fun was that marinette has two love interests that play the femme fatale (chat noir: fun but dangerous, flirty, oh no he's trying to tempt me into giving away my identity, literally based on black cat) and the ingenue (adrien: innocent and naive, passive role, oh no they know nothing of the world so i must protect them, etc.) which are typically foils. but it turns out these two love interests that she must choose between - are the same person. instead of two stock tropes that she must choose between (the innocence and safety of her civilian life versus the dangerous adventure of superhero life) she must reconcile and choose both. and then they added luka because they were bored.

i need to join a ml discord server because right now i force my friends to listen to me rant and they dont even like miraculous ladybug at all. but also i know im such a hater that i cant join any in fear of me being a total grinch and ruining peoples fun. but i also cant join hater servers because if i see any character bashing ill be the one with a bunch of grinches ruining MY fun. you see my dilemma.

WHY DID HE GET SUDDEN GOOD VIBES??? AT THE END OF THE EP???? WHEN DID HE SHOW THE CAPACITY TO FROLICK AMONGST THE COMMON FOLK??????????? NO MORE RANDOM REDEMPTION ARCS FOR OLD WHITE MEN MLB WHAT THE HECK
