Luka Couffaine “Viperion” - Miraculous Ladybug S3 - Episode 26

So let's say at the end of the day about Chloe, Astruc was trolling about her anyways initally he planned for her that to change she has to lose everything do you think it was the right way to go about it.

Absolutely not.

The target age group for this show was 6-10. At this point the show has been going for 10 years. Your audience has aged out TWO AND A HALF times from the beginning of this 'arc' to this point. Even if you go from S3 that's still... 4-5 years now? Entire group aged out.

That is nothing like a timely lesson. In fact it's a situation where only getting a part of the lesson is actively harmful. So, no, it's a terrible way to go about it.

*IF* you were to be dragging this out that long there needed to be concrete signifiers along the way that what was happening was *not* right. The audience should be primed (all of it, not just stans) to WANT that redemption, to feel cheated, to be railing against the injustice of her pain being hidden in the shadows.

In short even if someone only caught a single season. They should be able to tell that the short-term events were going in a bad direction and that there *is* hope and there *is* a better way that Chloé was being denied by circumstance.

i would like to get to know your world, yuki

Some concept ideas from the “To Be or Not to Be” episode!! 👑🐸🥀

I’ve never really used maroons combined with purple like this in any of my art before, so experimenting it with these screenshots was so fun!!! It didn’t turn out exactly as I had hoped but I still think it gets the aura I was reaching for :D

El Toro de piedra spoilers!

Good morning guys🐞🐞🐝🐝

Chloe shows us that even if she was expelled from Paris like a villain, her influence remains strong, and people don't care what she did if she promises them a reward. Somehow, they managed to make it so that, even though she wasn't in the city, she was indirectly the driving force behind the whole situation. It's as if the series just needs her to make things happen when they run out of ideas to execute. Unexpected? Not at all. Disappointing? Definitely. Ridiculous? Absolutely.

What is your opinion about this?

I think people (viewers, not in universe) are putting more energy into this than is necessary. Chloe didn't actually do anything in this episode - she hosted an online contest and announced a winner. Those were her two scenes. It was Aurore who took it too far. Using Chloe like this is just a different spin on Aurore losing the Weather Girl contest. To me, this is a totally appropriate and clever use of Chloe.

Now, there IS something to be said about these "community" platforms that the show is introducing. We've seen two thanks to this episode - a "Bee" Community, and a "Ladybug" Community, where accounts choose hero icons to represent themselves when they like a post. The "Bee" is hosted by Chloe while the "Ladybug" host is currently unknown (though we know Marinette is a member).

In the "Bee" community, Aurore's passionate posts about weather phenomenon were basically ignored while she scaled to the Top 10 in mere hours for posting out of context photos and spreading rumors about Adrien and Marinette. But in the "Ladybug" community, the same post that would've been completely ignored immediately got multiple likes, even one from her Idol Claudie Kante.

To me, this makes sense. The "Bee" Community is hosted by Chloe and so attracts people like her, who enjoy gossip blogs over deep dives. Aurore is not exempt from this, she goes as far as copying the No.1 ranked creator instead of creating her own work and starts caring more about popularity than the prize itself. But she's accepted for who she is in the "Ladybug" Community.

Like people attract like minded people. This episode has something to say (though not very loud) about the kind of communities we attach ourselves to online, and how they effect and change us in the real world. It's important to curate your online experience and to be diligent of being too influenced by what we see and interact with online.

In the "Bee" Community, Chloe's Community, Aurore sunk low and became consumed with unimportant things, betraying her friends and caring more about being No.1 than being an authentic or even good person. And her actions got her akumatized. Even though she won the contest, she had nothing to show for it.

In the "Ladybug" Community, Aurore was embraced for being unapologetically herself and confronting her wrongs. And her actions got her recognition from the person she idolized the most.

Chloe didn't have to do anything, the community she curates (and the communities that real world people make) were all that was necessary for this akuma.

Chloe’s animatic preview!!!

I finished the sketches finally 😭😭😭

I wanna make it clear I'm not docking points off of the episode the episode was fantastic. This is just a really weird note comparing the episode to the rest of the show. I guess this is another point to why Chloe being written to go full bully/villain is season 4 and 5 makes little sense.
