the new Miraculous Ladybug movie is hilariously dumb

No one hates the Ladybug series as much as its own fandom and it's hilarious

15:15 Marinette asking Adrien out as a normal person without uttering 16 times in one sentence and tripping gives satisfaction after all these painful years 😭

Two things: - While not mentioned in the movie, the show mentions that the Kwamis' power is why nobody can recognize them. - The reason Ladybug is a bit more confident when she first speaks to Cat Noir and the reason Cat Noir is bullying her is because a part of their Kwamis' personality merges with theirs when they enter their super hero form. When Adrien uses Plagg to turn into Cat Noir, he takes on Plagg's carefree and slightly rude personality, while Marinette takes on part of Tikki's self-confident personality.

Fun fact: it's not actually a reboot, it's a alternate universe type movie. The official series still has 2 confirmed unreleased seasons and will be sticking to the original plot :)

The biggest problem is definitely how the writers didn't seem to understand that their original audience is far more mature than before.

Honestly though, Cat Noir making fun of Ladybug is the most accurate display of a teenage boy flirting I've ever seen

Marinette being clumsy is actually explained well though, it isn't just "uwu im so quirky", it's that she has social anxiety. Having social anxiety naturally means you'll get symptoms of anxiety when you're in public or thinking about socialising. This could easily mean having shaky legs which make you more prone to falling especially if your head is focused on anxious thoughts rather than being aware of your surroundings. It makes a lot of sense and her anxiety towards her self-image and lack of confidence is shown in a realistic manner.

I worked on the movie in the crowd animation team! The movie went through several changes and it took time to finally settle on one specific idea of what the story would be about, what characters would be involved etc. We did laugh a couple of times over some of the cliché lines, and the fact that these two can't regognise each other just because they wear Masks! But overall, it was a great experience and the songs are catchy :)

14:27 "I'm not invested, you're invested" yes, the curse that made us all stick around for five freaking seasons

I just want to thank whoever did Chat Noir's sound design. I loved hearing his little bell jingle when he moved. It was so well thought out and executed so nicely. It wasnt too loud to take away from the scene and just made the movie more realistic.

Gotta love how movie Hawk Moth overpowers both heroes so effortlessly, with just his ONE miraculous, not needing to pull any “Mandarin & the 10 rings” shenanigans to do it. Just straight up gives himself flight, telekinesis, an army of moths, and for good measure, the ability to turn water into lava.

Yes the movie has it's flaws but considerably less than a tv series that has been out for 8 years. Here's my thoughts. Adrian actually feels like a teenage boy here. He has lived a sheltered life but when plag comes to him he really leans into the hero power fantasy most of us have as teenagers. He is sooo certain he will be the one "to save the world (world... world.. worl... wor...)" but when he comes face to face with an actual monster he is justifiably frightened. Marinette can't do everything. She's a kid freaking the f out because this flying little thing told her "you gonna die to save the world like it or not. " and She's like "not" but when her inaction leads to consequences she has no choice but to attempt to stand up. They felt like real people, Adrian gets angry at his dad for abandoning him after his mother died but still wants his live and affection. Plus unlike the show the movie holds Gabriel accountable for his actions. In the show he is immortalized as a hero with a gold statue while in the movie he goes to prison. And Chloe feels like an actual teenage bully rather than the looney toons version of satan. Aliyah and mari's friendship feels more organic. Aliyah is a weird chick who hangs out with Marinette because she is a danger magnet and Aliyah absolutely loves the absolute chaos that follows Marinette which helps Marinette ease up and be more comfortable in her every day life. And Gabriel knows that what he is doing is bad, he just doesn't give a f*ck about it. He knows what he wants and if two b*tches gotta die then two b*tches gotta die. Unfortunately they went that corny love is the most powerful force blah blah thing but atleast he sees his son is one of the b*tches that gitta die and he is just like "hold up this is my son. I can't do this to him" unlike the shiw where he finds out his son is said b*tch and he is just like "oh I can kill a b*tch at my breakfast table."

Whatever issues you have with the story, you gotta admit the animation goes hard

Miraculous is like the longest "Will they won't they" I have ever seen in a story and can't believe it still managed to keep people in for 8 years. Edit: thank you MinecrafBreadlmao

5:35 exactly. I hate it when they try to make a character clumsy and half of the clumsy stuff they did weren’t even their fault.

I can’t believe he didn’t mention how hilariously different the two voice actors were for Marinette. It was the funniest part for me.😂

The movie accomplishing more in 2 hours than the shows 5 seasons 💀

Marinette when talking: 15 years old Marinette when singing: 25 years old

13:13 In the show, the mime was actually pretty cool. One of the closest villains to get their Miraculous
