Okay but these shows that deal with "adult" topics absolutely ARE for children! While there might be a couple things that they might not fully comprehend, they absolutely teach them SUPER important lessons! I watched ATLA as a child and learned a lot about morality and deep emotional conflicts! Miraculous showing a panic attack can absolutely show children that either they are not alone (I've had panic attacks since I was pretty young) or teach them empathy for people who struggle with that. What do you MEAN children aren't supposed to be exposed to those realities that will help them grow and develop into emotionally healthy adults?? THAT'S THE POINT. DID YOU NOT WATCH MR. RODGERS!?
annoyed by the "it was never a kids show" crowd bc the comment implies that kids don't deserve complex media. then they'll name things that happened in the show and be like "it was never for kids..." like yeah actually atla was liked by children and was child appropriate even with the topics covered. actually mlb is still liked by children despite marinette having a panic attack in s4 (genuine comment i read???). you can say "i like a show targeted towards children" and "the show isn't only for kids" without saying that somehow the show is too inappropriate for children to justify your like of it
Local heartthrob (allegedly) finally realizes how many love rivals he has.
I love a character raised to be a weapon as much as the next guy. But what really gets me is a character raised to be a shield. Who can’t fathom being needed—or even being wanted— beyond keeping others safe. Who believe they are alive only to insure someone doesn’t die. no matter the cost. Characters who self-sacrifice not because they think they deserve it, but because no one else does deserve it, and it’s their job to protect.
Characters who’ve been told that’s why your important. Your worth something because this other person/ thing is important, and you are here solely to keep them safe.
Bonus points if it’s not a legitimate job they’ve been given. Maybe at one point it was, but now that they are free from it, they haven’t given up that mentality. No one is forcing or asking them to do this, but they need to. They need to in order to be deserving.

That's why it felt unique, like maybe she was learning and growing with her powers. Others have pointed out how she fixed Alix's pocket watch but no one seems to fully agree on WHY.
This time, Marinette full on accepted that she was the villain. I HOPE this becomes growth on her part and that it's not just convenient writing for plot reasons that will be lost in the future.
I hope the writers have learned but... we'll see, I guess.
So the end of the episode shows Marinette realizing as Ladybug that SHE was the real "villain" this time and returned to the racetrack to fix things.
And somehow she... fixed Sublime's prosthetics? Even though all previous "rules" for the ladybugs were that they could only fix AKUMATIZED villain's damage (EDIT: rather, damage done DURING the akumatization, and her prosthetics were damaged BEFORE). This was always a really big point and was emphasized at various parts.
So is this just a weird plot point they decided to throw out to make things work out better, or is this a growth in Marinette's powers? Thoughts?
Listen I'm just here for shitposting and maybe short story or art posts IDK don't @ me
