It's crucial to emphasize that intentions alone are insufficient; actions play a pivotal role. Unfortunately, Marinette in seasons 4 and 5 failed to grasp this lesson. While her noble intentions are commendable, the series illustrates the repercussions of neglecting the importance of one's actions. Despite her professed love for Adrien/Chat Noir, her missteps in her partnership and the finale, particularly her decision to gaslight her love interest about his father being a hero, are significant.

The writers' tendency to downplay her actions and portray her as a white knight savior for Adrien is cute but troubling, considering her lack of control or involvement in his family affairs. The episode "Ephemeral" stands out to me as an irredeemable moment marked by lies. Despite fandom attempts to justify her behavior, the stark reality remains. Marinette, now diverging from her initial likable qualities, falls short when compared to strong female characters from shows like early Winx Club, Totally Spies, and Lolirock. She now mirrors Master Fu's approach closely, but the expectations in the fandom are disappointingly low when it comes to understanding her partner. She's quick to suspect him of hiding something, yet when the tables turn, excuses abound. Despite being a guardian and team leader, there's a tendency among fans to overlook her actions. True feminism and leadership involves inspiring others and supporting those in need, yet she doesn't even try in these aspects.

The recurring theme of Marinette's mistakes, coupled with her lack of evident growth, raises questions about the character's development. The fact that she is 14 intensifies the concern about the lessons being imparted to the show's target demographic. Despite fan theories, the internalized lessons seem questionable, especially for young viewers who are placed in situations like Adrien or Chloe, what do they learn? From what I got from the show... the narrative casting Adrien as the virtuous victim and Chloe as the villainous victim is disgraceful. The notion that personal growth and change are unattainable is a lesson that no one should adopt is messed up. Now looking back critically examining the show, instances where Marinette defends or apologizes for Audrey or Gabriel's abusive actions which are very troubling makes a lot of sense because this show is abuse apologist and because she's our titular character she's the voicebox of the show "messaging" . While some viewers may sympathize and defend her based on their long-term attachment to me the show having the potential negative impact on the younger audience cannot be ignored.

The disappointment of those deeply invested in the series is understandable, but for those with a more detached perspective you might feel fortunate like I do to have a more detached perspective on this front.

Rules: Choose any three fandoms (in random order) and answer the questions, then tag 10 people you want to know better.

Tagged by: @crimson-heather (thank you so much, Darling! I love doing those games ^^)

Fandoms:

Miraculous, Trollhunters, Shaman King (ha, surprise!)

The first character you loved:

Miraculous: Ladybug, for her being super professional and reliable.

Trollhunters: Jim. I fell in love with Jim since the first Trollhunters gif I saw, way before watching the series.

Shaman King: Yoh, for his selflessness and unusual ways of seeing things.

The character you never expected to love so much:

Miraculous: Gabriel Agreste. It’s a love-hate relationship, I hate him so much that I love his design, and I wonder a lot about his reasons and story.

Trollhunters: Nomura. She scared me so much at first, than she grew on me in season 2.

Shaman King: Anna. I hated her through the whole anime series, then I read the manga and got to know her story and loved her.

The character you relate to the most:

Miraculous: canonically, Adrien because of his fight with high expectations and search for his real self. But if I can include the PV, and my headcanons (because, why not? :D), it’s totally Felix.

Trollhunters: It’s super hard to decide. Probably Barbara (?)

Shaman King: Tao Ren! Oh I love him so much, he is super strong and I absolutely admire how he reflects on himself and goes through. His character development is my huge inspiration.

The character you’d slap:

Miraculous: Gabriel, surely, like, four times.

Trollhunters: Usurna....

Shaman King: No surprise here, Hao.

Three favorite characters (in order of preference):

Miraculous: Felix (lol I will always count him), Adrien, Nathaniel

Trollhunters: Jim, Stricklander and... probably AAARRRGGHH :D

Shaman King: Ren and Yoh stand out so much I can’t really put a third one ;D

A character you liked at first, but don’t anymore:

Miraculous: I absolutely have no idea, the one character that comes to my mind was Santa from the Christmass special, he was super cute at first and then just irritated me.

Trollhunters: Otto, he is so super creepy...

Shaman King: Lyserg, I mean - he is not a nicely created character, but I just hated his unloyalty. I liked him back at the very end of the manga though.

Three OTPs:

Miraculous: Out of the love square, it’s Ladrien, and for other characters it’s Bridgette x Felix (okay, I cannot figure out their ship name for the love of my life. I kinda want to call them Brilix, it sounds like a Winx club new transformation :D) and Mylenne x Ivan

Trollhunters: Jlaire, aaaaaaaannnnddddd probably Dromura ;D

Shaman King: Anna x Yoh, Jun x Pyron

Tagging: @h-sunnywet-d @tunafishprincess @ch4rl13sm1th <333
