How it started:

How it’s going:

Adrien in the finale really goes: "My father sent me away to another country without my consent just to imprison me in a white torture room and deprived me of any interaction other than this foosball. I wanna be like him one day."

Just watched the Miraculous S5 finale and boy do I have thoughts. SPOILERS AHEAD!!

So, after stretching out this Agreste arc for 7+ years, Adrien Agreste is barely involved in the finale. Chat Noir is not in the final showdown at all. Gabriel, after being a terrorist and abusive father, is remembered as a hero. I hate it.

Even parts that I could have been excited about disappointed me. Other heroes from around the world appearing would have been cool if I wasn’t annoyed that Chat Noir himself wasn’t there. Luka training with the guardians is cool but Jagged & Penny too? For some reason? Luka earning that by his own merit is one thing. But seeing others in the same position makes it feel cheap and pointless.

I’m most angry about Adrien. All of this time he’s been the villain’s son. He’s been mistreated, used, controlled and didn’t get to stop him in the end. The fact that Adrien remembers his father as a hero is sickening to me. WHAT WAS THE POINT of making him Hawkmoth’s son from the beginning if there was never going to be an actual confrontation between them about it?!

Then there’s the senti thing with him. In the end it just feels like an excuse to add reasons why he couldn’t be at the final confrontation with Gabriel. Yet again a concept that could have been done well wasn’t. It was just used to sideline him yet again.

So much story potential was wasted in this show that it pains me.

I think that is just what Miraculous has always been. Looking back and being a step back from super involved in the fandom, the concept is absolutely amazing. There are great characters and stories to be told. But the execution is rarely satisfying. It’s just sad.

And now Marinette has a bunch more secrets she’s keeping from Adrien. This relationship is so unhealthy. One person has so many cards while the other is constantly kept in the dark. It’s an ongoing theme. As much as I want to think “oh one day she’ll tell him everything!” I don’t know if even believe that at this point. As stretched out as the story has been so far it might be another 7 years real time before she does. If she does at all.

Basically, I watched the finale. I gave it a chance and it was worse than I could have imagined.

The animation did look good this episode imho, but I hated pretty much everything else. Sorry for the rant. At this point I just wish I never would have watched this show and gotten attached to characters, especially Adrien.

This finale felt like a slap in the face.

Again, the concept is SO GOOD. Which makes me want to watch the movie when it releases. If it’s good someone please erase the show from my mind and tell me the movie is all that exists. I wanna have good feelings toward this concept dang it, but the show feels like it goes out of it’s way to be disappointing.

Caught up with the series earlier and may I just say,

what a moment.

Wait wait wait, your telling me that we went through 5 seasons of miraculous ladybug WITHOUT A REVEAL! Yet somehow Adrien and Marinette are actually dating.

I can only imagine the date like

*akuma alert*

Marinette and adrien: I have to go to the bathroom!

[pidshtaniki]

if he asked Lady Bug for a rabbit miraculous , then he could fix everything

[nixthelapin]

For the upcoming Miraculous special…

What do y’all think Toxinelle (bc I refuse to call her Shadybug) and Claw Noir’s goal is in the alternate universe?

It’s obviously not the Wish, bc they already have the ladybug and black cat, so what else could it be? Just to cause chaos??

miraculous s5 finale spoilers!!

something about the finale reminds me of the original sailor moon anime s1 finale where everyone is back to normal and alive and looks happy but there’s a catch, that time has reset. the new world with everything eco friendly and even the idyllic nature of everyone by the pool happy in the light seems too good to be true, and with the paris special coming up about an alternate universe i wonder if the wish transported them into some sort of dream world or alternate timeline? especially because the wish was hyped up to have consequences and though it could just be bad writing gabriel’s life for emilie’s doesn’t seem fair because he was about to die anyway and what about nathalie? idk i’m probably thinking too deep into things but wanted to share my ramblings in case anyone has coherent additions.

[bellzsad]

my gabenath journey is one that’s funky, but similar and common to a lot of other miraculous viewers.

i started out shipping it, purely because there was no one else i could’ve shipped gabriel or nathalie with. sure, there was gorilla for nathalie (i guess?) but this did not make sense so i shut it down immediately. anyway, as the seasons went by, i saw it as “cute” because of the little moments they had. but then, as soon as season four hit, i realized how fucking toxic this relationship was.

and we see this developed even more in season five especially. nathalie confronts gabriel, but he just shrugs it off. he cares more about emilie than her, and while nathalie is literally dying, gabriel is just standing in his basement trying to steal two pieces of jewelry. and he barely showed any remorse for it, too. he was just like “oh, you’re dying? that’s too bad, i’m sorry i let you do this, but oh well. anyways see you later, gotta go terrorize the city. brb” like HELLO?!

it’s so toxic. i hate this ship now, like just give me amelie x nathalie at this point because we have two boss women dangling in front of our faces. or if emilie is confirmed to have come back, emilie x nathalie would be even better. that’s so badass omfg.

but in conclusions, gabenath can go rot in hell, but it’s all gabriel’s fault. queen nathalie slays

So the moral of miraculous ladybug is…

TEENAGE GIRLS ARE THE ACTUAL VILLAINS AND THE ONE TRUE EVIL, THEY ARE IRREDEEMABLE AND DESERVE IT

Gabriel is just a baby who made a whittle mistake he’s redeemable and is deserving of such

💀

SO THE ABUSER IS THE HERO WHILE THE ABUSED ARE THE VILLAINS FROM WHAT I GATHER

[masternia]

I’m so bored- someone chat with me- idc if it’s Feligami, Ladynoir, favorite characters, season 5 finale, season 6 theories, complaints abt the show ANYTHING YALL- my ask box is open and I love MLB discussions 😭😭

[motherofplatypus]

So, the reason Adrien and Kagami are in the asylum-esque prison is to protect them from Gabe's plan, but Gabe still infected them with the nightmares and possibly turning them into one of those walking Q-Tips that works for his plan? Good grief.

you know it’s not a kids show when it makes you cry and rethink the meaning of life.
