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.
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.
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.
I didn't watch the episode but I know what happened. This episode is basically a Marichat episode(but different than any Marichat episode in the entire series so far),I know but what intrigues me and I cannot stress it enough is that......WHY?! WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME?!
I'm not joking when I say that when I saw this picture for the first time,I was exicted to see Marinette finally get akumatized(and able to transformed into a akuma) but then,when I saw the scene(in picture form),
I...I can't even explained that why they still teasing us with Marinette get akumatized but in the end,she wasn't and she weren't going too? Just....WHY?
I thought that my wishes has come tru but it wasn't....for now.
I'm still....STILL hope that my wishes for this season is to watch Marinette got akumatized(but no teasing anymore)and able to turn into a akuma come tru.
I know that Chat Noir save her and both kissing each other and for everyone,it's a relief...and romantic at the same time(I forgot to tell this but because of this scene above me,I will not gonna watch the episode or at least,this scene)but I wish and hope that this season,Akumanette(Akuma Marinette) will become canon. Fingers crossed🤞🤞
What the fuck?
Can at least everyone stop hating on Marinette rn!
The episode is not aired yet but they just starting to throwing hate on Marinette.
There is a reason why the writers want to do this.So please stop being blantantly judgemental rn until the episode aired.
Don't judge the book by it's cover.
Seeing the Ladybug hate on Instagram thanks to the Kuro Neko trailer has really upset me. For goodness sake, she is 14 and has been through a lot in the past year. Besides, the episode hasn’t aired, there are plenty of episodes to come and Adrien and Mari are endgame. Conflict tends to lead to resolution and maybe this Ladynoir conflict will lead to Adrien and Marinette growing closer which subconsciously helps our beloved Bug and Cat team resolve things for the better.
Suprise,suprise,I got Tikki.Actually,that's great.
Hey guys!
I hope you have a really good day today even though today's not a good day. We just been shocked by the news a few hours ago that the European Spanish VA of Adrien/Chat Noir has passed away. This is a sad moment,not just for the Spanish Miraculers but also,Miraculers from around the world. So,even though we're gonna celebrate the date that is important in the Islamic calendar, but this is a day of mourning for Miraculous and Miraculers alike.
Anyway,I hope that you have a great Aidilfitri(even though right now my country are now covered with haze) and may God bless you all.
Don't give up.Maybe there is another way to revive your reply mode.
Can you read this?
I can but I don't have inbox anymore and I can't answer to replies, I think it only works with reblogs and, as far as I can tell, asks. This is so boring, I can't wait for this problem to get fixed cuz I hear many other people have the same problem so that's probably why we don't see many other accounts here.
You thought we're done but not yet! This is the folk song from Ukraine(the other one in the previous post are modern song,idk).This is because we're celebrating that PlusPlus(the same channel that I talking before in the previous post) confirmed that they will release 3 episode(2 of which are,spoiler alert,season finale) this week(no confirmed day it will be release thought but it was confirmed that it will be this week👀).On the one hand,it was great but on the other hand,why.....?
But anyway,we're gonna have our season 3 dilemma back but this time in season 4 because дякую(thanks in Ukrainian) to PlusPlus for bringing the previous season dilemma back into this season and while at the same time fucked up our day.
So that's it for now.Thank you or should I say дякую(thank you in Ukrainian) and bug out.
