Here we go again, still learnt nothing?
"It matters if Felix does" - what are you saying? That Felix ACTUALLY ceasing Gabriel from existance matters but it still isn't something villainous? Interesting take. Defending Gabriel over Felix is an interesting take, I simply pointed out how he only threatened him while Felix actually DID what he threatened. Which one is worse then?
"It's not whether Nathalie would kill a kid for no reason. It's about it being drilled into Felix for 14 years that he can't trust his safety to anyone else" - yeah, that sure is enough reason to let him keep the peacock. Cause no one else can use it responsibly? Frankly that's not anyone's problem but his as harsh as it sounds. Kagami could have the same fears, she would have every right to cause she knows she's senti or Adrien once he finds out. But no, cause Felix is afraid he can have it but Kagami couldn't if she had the same fears. That's illogical. Wouldn't it be about him learning to let go off that fear? That's what we call progress. Also Felix ceased whole Paris from existance but who cares lol. And Ladybug and Cat Noir killed many sentis before or don't they suddenly matter anymore? Cause the whole debatte of whether a senti is alive or not only matters when it causes dramatic effect. Didn't Nathalie undergo character development or doesn't that count anymore either? You know, to give people the benefit of the doubt and trust them 😃
"But that doesn't matter if he does better in future" - do you hear yourself or are you deaf to your own words? Do you realize you doubt your own point by saying IF he does better? Comedic gold 😂
How does the saying go "forgive but NEVER forget"? "A reason that Marinette can understand and move forward with" - funny you should mention this cause psychology CONSTANTLY brings this up. It gives a reason to why someone does what they do but it DOESN'T excuse it. Meaning if someone harms another person it explains why they did it but it doesn't excuse it, hence they have to face the consequences of their actions, in more brutal cases prison. When did Felix face the consequences of his actions? Let me remind you my og post was about why Marinette shouldn't let him keep the peacock. Only that nothing more. Isn't her not letting him keep it such a consequence based on him abusing the peacock's power and betraying her trust by stealing the other miraculous to deal them with the villain?
Lol I went deeper into Chloe cause YOU pointed her out. And I'm using facts from the show. From the show's point of view Chloe was too irresponsible with her miraculous so she lost Ladybug's trust along with her miraculous. However Felix did worse than her on multiple occasions but he's getting the "benefit of the doubt" - ironic don't you think? : D
I'm gonna hold your hand when I say this: "in the end" is a popular idiom for reflecting on a point or "when everything is taken into consideration" - in Chloe's case it's pretty obvious she won't get her character arc anymore. One can hope but Astruc won't let it happen, he made that very clear
"It literally doesn't matter if he did it for a selfish reason, he did a good thing" - wow, you really are deep in denial aren't you? A prime example of a "but, but..." excuse. Then Gabriel wasn't in the wrong for trying to bring Emilie back either. It was for a good cause 🤪 you see, in fact it DOES matter cause if Gabriel wasn't a threat, he wouldn't have asked LB to defeat him already. He acts selfishly and is supposed to be in a team of heroes now?
Why? I only brought up Kagami cause she was in on telling Marinette that story and stop Gabriel for a selfish reason. It was the two of them who did it. It might've been Felix' idea but she was okay with it. It's what happened in the ep lol
Not gonna comment of her lucky charms, I did previously
No, it doesn't make sense for her to trust Tomoe. Why even? Again, she literally lets her roam free without facing any consequences of high crimes. Is that what a good hero does? The thing is, Gabriel's initial plan was ALWAYS to bring Emilie back. So in the end he'd either choose to fulfill his original wish or, as he did, heal Nathalie. There was no world domination in his plan. Never was, not even when he went mad.
EXACTLY it's riskier! Which makes a bad hero! As I pointed out before, she now just sits around and risks playing "will he, won't he" which in the end puts everyone at risk - Paris, the heroes, everyone! She didn't bring Tomoe to justice either, as pointed out before. She doesn't fulfill her role as the hero of Paris, as a guardian over the city! "You want Felix punished" - shouldn't it be obvious why? Progress as a person only works if you FACE THE CONSEQUENCES OF YOUR DAMN ACTIONS which Felix never did. So gonna repeat myself here, one obvious consequence would be not letting him near a miraculous anymore, AT LEAST for the time being if she decided to give him a chance and watch him closely for any missteps. Just saying - Nathalie was ready to turn herself in, meaning face the consequences of her actions, but Ladybug prevented her from doing so. LB literally trusts her fully now, no reason holding her back from giving her the peacock again but apparently Paris needs to be protected by a bunch of teens
Additional point which was technically mentioned already too - what Felix did in "Emotion" is kinda equivalent to Magneto's goals and beliefs and guess what? He's a known VILLAIN in the Marvel universe. Both did/do it for selfish reasons.
Another additional point which interestingly you failed to mention, which I did in my og post: why should he have the peacock if he lives in London while the fights take place and the new villain is located in Paris? See the lack of logic?
Btw found the perfect summary for Felix and his little stans who excuse him, like you do:
"He killed 80 people in two days"
"He's adopted"
This was all fun while it lasted Karen, thank you for the laughs, have a good day : )
Can someone explain to me Marinette's grand idea of letting Felix keep the peacock?
• Stole all the miraculous, handing them over to the villain. If Gabriel was out for world domination he would've played part in helping him reach his goal and thus basically ending the world
• Terrorized whole Paris, making everyone disappear, something not even the main villain of the show did all 5 seasons long. And he did that in 1 day. He was literally singing a happy song and dancing while spreading fear. If that's not something a maniac villain does
• Kidnapped Kagami and thought it was okay. Only likes her cause she's senti - he's basically racist (granted Marinette probably doesn't know this but we do and every other point should be enough for her not to trust him)
• Bullied Adrien since they were kids, which can go as far as putting camembert under his pillow and sending a hate message to his friends just cause he can, thus invading his privacy on his phone. Pretends to be him just cause he can too ofc for selfish reasons
• If all these weren't bad enough, he ASSAULTED Ladybug just to mess with Adrien. Sure he cares for his cousin : D
• Chances are if he betrayed her once, he might betray her again. Will put nothing past him
• Literally lives in London. Should he fly to Paris every time something's happening?
So why not give back the peacock to Nathalie? She's healthy again, on the good side, she's responsible and trustworthy, she read the Grimoire so knows more about any of the miraculous than anyone on the team, she's an ADULT and granted they seriously need one, she already has experience with the peacock and Duusuu likes her, has combat skills and they're more than impressive (slay queen) and she's smart af. Plus SHE'S RIGHT THERE!!!
