Thomas,if You Don't Make Marinette/Felix(even Though I Don't Like Him)/anyone(who Wasn't Akumatized Yet)

Thomas,if you don't make Marinette/Felix(even though I don't like him)/anyone(who wasn't akumatized yet) in this show akumatized,I might tied and glued myself in the French Embassy in KL or go to Paris at your workplace.(That just my idea)

That's my act to protest among other things is the issue that surrounding the ML fandom rn.

#9: “Ladybug can't be akumatized because I said so!”

In the past three seasons of Miraculous Ladybug, Marinette has been through a lot. In addition to struggling to convey her feelings to Adrien, she has also fought several supervillains on a weekly basis, been subjected to all kinds of humiliation, and has had her friendships tested thanks to Lila’s lies. Despite all of this stress, Marinette still hasn’t akumatized, though she came close in the episode “Ladybug” (Hawkmoth was forced to abort his plan at the time). But because she was so close to becoming an Akuma, fans naturally wondered if this was only a taste of what was to come.

So someone on Twitter raised the question if Marinette would ever actually be akumatized. By this point, you can guess how Astruc responded.

#9: “Ladybug Can't Be Akumatized Because I Said So!”

As usual, despite being polite in the way this person phrased their tweet, Astruc acts like they’re being ridiculous to even suggest something like that. And honestly, I’m surprised this tweet hasn’t gotten more criticism from the Miraculous Ladybug fandom. Like, I think it’s up there with the stuff he says about Chloe, it’s that bad.

I mean, how can any writer say something like “That’s a difference between an idea and a story” with a straight face? The difference between an idea and a story is that a story is simply an idea fully realized. That’s it. This is like saying there’s a difference between a recipe and an apple pie. One’s still a page in a cookbook, the other is for dessert at Thanksgiving dinner because someone followed the recipe from said cookbook.

At the same time, Astruc barely explains why Marinette getting akumatized wouldn’t work. What does he even mean when he says to think about when Hawkmoth talks to Marinette? Does he think she’ll immediately hand over her Miraculous to him before going after Cat Noir? Does he think Cat Noir isn’t able to stop Marinette should she get akumatized? What is he trying to say here? It’s not like someone with a Miraculous can’t be akumatized.

Someone brought up the fact that not only has Cat Noir been akumatized (As well as Carapace, Rena Rouge, and Queen Bee), but since the Rabbit Miraculous has the power of time travel, they really aren’t bound by anything, especially since the whole plot of “Cat Blanc” was that Bunnix helped to undo the timeline where he was akumatized.

And what does Astruc say in response to this? You won’t believe it. The lack of self-awareness is purely mind-blowing here.

Yes. He actually claims that his show isn’t just spinning its wheels by doing the same thing over and over again. How can he think something like this, when he literally had two separate episodes in Season 3 that were about Marinette and Adrien figuring out each other’s identities and then undoing that massive plot development by the end? Are you telling me that isn’t deceptive?

Astruc, how can you, as a creator, say what can and can’t be done? You can’t tell me that not a single person thought the concept for Miraculous Ladybug was ridiculous. If someone did, it obviously didn’t stop you from going ahead and making your show. For God’s sake, a big part of what got people interested in Miraculous Ladybug in the first place was the concepts introduced in the show, like the Love Square and Hawkmoth’s Akumas. There are a lot of fans who outright think the actual show is garbage, and consider several fan works to be far superior, like @miraculouscontent‘s LadyBugOut AU, or @zoe-oneesama‘s Scarlet Lady comic. Do you know why they made those? Because they had an idea (both ironically based on the show’s poor writing), thought about it, and converted it into a story.

But then again, I don’t think I’ve ever heard of a TV show where the main hero was brainwashed to work for the villain while the other characters have to stop them—OH WAIT.

Yes, arguably one of the most iconic episodes in television history, “The Best of Both Worlds” from Star Trek: The Next Generation follows a similar premise to what Astruc thinks can never happen. In case you live under a rock and haven’t seen Star Trek, this episode is about Captain Picard getting assimilated into the hive mind of the Borg, forcing Commander Riker and the rest of the crew on the Enterprise to step up to stop the Borg from using Picard’s knowledge of Starfleet to assimilate Earth.

This episode is often considered by many Trekkies to be the pinnacle of the entire franchise in its 54 year run, and the drama of Picard being assimilated is one of the key reasons. Without the Enterprise’s fearless leader, there’s a level of uncertainty to the situation, best reflected in Riker’s reluctance to take charge as the new captain. It was even more interesting to see the crew’s struggle to choose between defeating the Borg or saving Picard. There’s a reason why the cliffhanger at the end of the first part was so shocking, as it showed Riker’s development and willingness to do whatever it takes to save the day, even if it means possibly killing Picard.

You’re telling me we can’t get anything like that with Cat Noir or any of the other heroes if Marinette gets akumatized?

Hell, there’s also a lot of narrative possibilities that could come from Marinette dealing with the trauma of being Akumatized. She could mentally berate herself for letting this happen to her, claiming this shouldn’t happen and how she almost got everyone killed while working for Hawkmoth.

You know, like what the episode after “The Best of Both Worlds” did with Picard emotionally venting to his brother.

How come that can’t happen because of what Hawkmoth says to Marinette?

Oh, wait! I get it now! “The Best of Both Worlds” is an actual story, but thinking about Marinette getting akumatized is just an idea because it hasn’t become an actual story yet. It all makes sense now!

Then in that case, I guess these are just ideas as well.

Ok,I agree that Chloe should be blame because of bullying her classmate but it was mild bullying and it was more of a threat to show "who's the boss".

True story.When I was at the primary school,I always get bullied by a couple of person who same age as me.Sometimes it's escalated into violence.I remember when I was in the Islamic primary school,I was literally beaten up by someone in my age(btw,it was happened during recess in the afternoon of 2015,i think).He constantly beating me up(he bring his friends too)like it was a never ending pain.I still remember that I crying for help,screaming,groaning in the same time and even calling him a Israeli and also a Zionist,he still kicking my body while I was helplessly laying down on the class floor because if I not mistaken,he pushed me.So,that's my story(i'm not making this up).

In conclusion,my case of bully is actually even worse than Chloe bullying Marinette.

in defense of marinette dupain-cheng:

marinette is a girl who has always suffered from bullying by chloe, she also encouraged more people to bully marinette, most of marinette’s friends helped chloe before alya was in school (max, alix, sabrina, kim, etc).

it has been implied in the series, that made her have a super low self-esteem, and she was someone with very few friends, you will say that her parents are super loving, but in reality they ignored that marinette was a victim of bullying.

not only that, but it also seems that they do not pay attention to marinette, every time something very dangerous happens they never seem to go out to look for their daughter? and it has been shown many times that they are more interested in the bakery than their own daughter (obviously, it doesn't compare to the horrible treatment adrien, kagami, chloe (and even lila, i suppose) receive, but let’s not ignore that)

chloe made marinette a very insecure girl, shown in season 1 in the "origins" chapters. she had a very pessimistic perspective, and she was not sure of being ladybug since she spoiled everything, thanks to the fact that she began to hang out with people like her and that being a ladybug helped her a lot, since she saw how people appreciated her for the first time, that's why she finally raise her voice to chloe.

those problems that she had in the first season returned in season 3 and 4 (specifically in 4), she has mental breakdowns, when she was marinette but also when she was ladybug. she was no longer as sure of herself as before, she no longer believed in herself.

marinette has become a girl who does not trust people much, chloe sided with hawk moth and gave the box of miraculous to him, it took a lot of work to tell someone that she is ladybug, she witnessed chat blanc, lila has gotten her into a lot of trouble, which has caused her to be almost expelled from school, i don't understand how people say that lila's lies are not offensive ... marinette's antis pretend as if all that didn't cause trauma.

she is also a person who has a lot of stress and has symptoms of anxiety:

1. inability to stop thinking about current worry.

2. increased heart rate / slurred speech / hyperventilation.

3. anxious obsessions / hyper fixation.

4. feeling nervous, restless, or tense.

i understand why fans believe marinette is a mary sue, but let's remember something:

- chloe is popular being rude, not even fake like lila

- adrien has many occupations but has many time to be chat noir

- hawk moth is a criminal, why don't the police investigate him?

and much more ... it's sad how marinette, a character who is a minority, gets more criticized while felix, a sex offender, or chloe, a bully, are excessively romanticized and justified.

@kumalimited

So, Collusion.

I have something to say regarding Chloe.

Chloe has launched a coup d'etat on Paris.

Chloe, a teenager and the mayor's daughter, launched a coup d'etat on Paris!

How was that possible?!

Seriously, how was it possible for a teenager to launch a power grab on a city?!

Omg, I'm speechless.

The city of Paris is now under the dictatorship of Chloe Bourgeois.

Anyway, what's your opinion on this? (I hope you can throw a joke on this one.)

So,some(or maybe most) of you mad at the creator for 'whitewashing' Marinette or Marinette herself,in general, because she's not being 'fully' Chinese.

Well.....,I would say it's debatable.

It depends on who you ask,whether they're natives or not.

But,on my personal experiences,I can relate to Marinette.

Why do I say that? Well,here's why.

Let's start with Marinette.

Her family was diverse. Her father's(Tom) side is European(French+Italian), and her mother's(Sabine) side is Chinese(Shanghainese).

Marinette couldn't speak Chinese(but tried to learn it in Kung Food).

Marinette goes to Shanghai to learn more about her family and culture and........let's be fair, she goes there just because Adrien was there and solely for Adrien(I don't want to be salty on her but, Marinette, your parents spend a lot of money for you to go there and learning about your own family and their own customs but instead of that, you just go there just to see your crush. I'm very disappointed at you, Mari. I'm not angry, just disappointed.)

Now,let's move on to my point. Why do I say ' I can relate to Marinette'?

Well, my family is also diverse. My father's side is Rohingya, and my mother's side is Malay.

I couldn't speak Rohingya(but always trying to figure it out how to learn it).

Malaysia is already my home(but maybe Rakhine also counts).

In conclusion, Marinette has her right to choose to live whatever lifestyle that is more comfortable for her, whether to live in a Western or French customs or with Chinese customs.

So yeah, I think that might be enough to defend her choice.

What's your thoughts about this one? Lemme know in the comments below.

Until then, stay healthy, stay miraculous and,

BUG OUT.
