Frenglish differences in Miraculous - Episode 1

Stormy Weather/Climatika

Alya to Marinette

En: You’re just a pushover, Marinette.

Fr: Tu te fais mener par le bout du nez, Marinette

This one is hard to translate. Literally, it would be “you’re getting led by the tip of the nose”, but it basically means that Manon has her twisted around her little finger. To me “pushover” sounds a bit harsher from Alya.

In French, Alya calls Manon “asticot”, which means worm or maggot. It’s an affectionate nickname (I swear) used for little kids who move and twist around a lot. (She says “small fry” in English.)

Vincent (the photographer) to Adrien

hey everyone I'm happy to introduce to you

Frenglish differences in miraculous

which is a series where I'll be highlighting the differences between the French and English dubs of the wonderful show that is Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir

I've always watched the show in its original language and I really recommend doing so but I recognise that it isn't necessarily doable depending on the subtitles people have available to them and the fact that they might be based on the alternate dub rather than a translation of what is said in French, so I thought I'd do this as a way to both show the differences and the things that people might miss, as well as sharing some interesting facts I've noticed! I'll be making one post per episode, with for each notable difference what is said in English, what is said in French with my translation and sometimes a little comment from yours truly 😌

I'll have to make a few disclaimers as I always do with these things so here are the main ones:

I have done this (rewatching and recording the differences) a looong time ago so I might have changed my opinion on a few things since then, although I'll try to go over and correct if really needed

I didn't actually watch it in English (sorry I really don't like watching dubs) but I instead used the subtitles available on Disney+ which seemed to be an accurate transcription of the dub. however if I've made any mistake feel free to point it out! it also means that I only focus on the text and not the delivery of the lines

I kept the translation of the original french voice acting quite literal and I am in no way competent in linguistics (women in STEM 🫡)

I've only done this for season 1, as I believe fandubs are available for the further seasons but if people are interested I might do the other ones, however I don't have access to legal streaming services with subtitles anymore so it might be a bit more complex for me

I'm not pointing out every single difference because some are uninteresting or just due to simple language differences, but only the ones I personally found interesting/relevant

I didn't include things that happen in every episode (aka the theme song or transformation phrases), but I might do a separate post for them if anyone's interested

I think that's all? hope you guys enjoy! I'll be linking the posts as I release them for each episode:

I was blessed with like, an entire week of good tumblr but it's back to not letting me post more than one image and I'm frankly too tired to make two separate posts so have some random married ladynoir content.

Btw jeremy zag is a zionist.

Try watching the show not from their yt channels or tv channels, instead use unofficial cartoon/miraculous website that is not affiliated at all with Zag company or any pro-Israel company in general.

Don’t buy Zag animation merchandise, don’t buy anything that is affiliated with any of his shit.

Boycott company that support genocide.

Just saying this since no one has seemed to inform this.

I think all the negativity and praise for the miraculous movie done pissed Astruc off cause

Astruc after all the criticism of season 5:

And good MAN GOOD! Prove me fucking wrong. Prove to me that miraculous still has that spark in it that captivated me in the beginning. Prove to me this show is still worth watching and hoping for.

And man yeah. It still does. Atleast this special truly showed that.

Mans cooked. Mans straight cheffin with this shit.

This was so fucking good. And there are probably gonna be critics that disagree with me and that's fine man. I'm critical as fuck of miraculous and I even dropped it after season 5. I was DONE. lost all hope. Didn't care to see more not even this fucking special which I was so sure was gonna dissapoint me too.

And now I sit here admitting my wrongs and giving props where props is due. This special was fucking great. Best piece of miraculous media Period 👏 In my opinion and by far the best special out of all of them. Ladybug and Marinette were great. Alya was great and felt Important and like a good friend again, Chat Noir was great, Adrien felt like a main character again. Shadybug and Claw Noir were by far the best part hands down. I loved them from beginning to end. Especially Shadybug.

Man I missed this shit man. So freaking happy.

Now it's not perfect. There are definitely some things that I'm mixed on. The whole Chloe turned me evil thing still kinda iffy on that and a couple other things but overall man Jesus. Wow I mean I'm genuinely proud of everyone who worked on this. Animation team, writing team, voice actors. Everybody gets their flowers.

*sigh* I don't yet have high hopes for season 6. But.....I will keep an ear out to hear how it goes and if all goes well and it gets received positively I'll watch.

This special showed what happens when miraculous actually tries. This show has a lot of potential man it really does. It just needs to care for the story it wants to tell and man it did here for sure.

Seriously man where tf was this quality of care for the season 5 finale? 💀 I need to know because wow what a day and night difference.

AGHHH CAN IT BE OCTOBER NOWWWW!!

[miraculouslyhopeless]

I felt. compelled. to draw this. and I don't..... I don't have any more explanation than that. sorry

[miraculouslyhopeless]

The reason I’m so upset about the finale is that once again we’re letting the mlb writers get away with teasing plot and taking it away. Honestly I’d keep watching mlb if it stayed the same as the first few seasons, I don’t like the way they’re trying to introduce plot and then they remember it’s a kids show so they undo it.

There are so many character inconsistencies and honestly I don’t think it’s fair how every season we have to be like “it’s okay it will all be sorted out next season”. It’s frustrating.

[miraculouslyhopeless]

I’ve just deeped that there’ll be no more Keith Silverstein in mlb and so I think I’m done

Everything wrong with the Season 5 finale

1. How tf did Marinette not realise that Gabriel was going to turn on her. She’s smarter than that and I know she wouldn’t have let herself be that invulnerable. Cmon now.

2. Since when would Gabriel decide what was going to be sacrificed to get his wife back. Ngl if it was going to be this easy they should have done it from the start

3. I’m sorry what’s with the statue?? so much easier things could have been done

4. So. Anti. Climatic. Wtf.

5. Lila suddenly being a mega villain is not cutting it for me I’m ngl. I’m not getting excited about this or anything. This is silly.

6. Marinette blatantly lying to Adrien is so out of character. I don’t believe it. Season 6 better start with Marinette going “i wish it was this easy” and get to the real life or else I’m literally down. Wtf.

[miraculouslyhopeless]

Arguably the worst season finale I’ve ever watched im ngl
