Miraculous had 5 seasons to try and turn Gabriel/Hawkmoth into a good, interesting or at the bare minimum a convincing threat but I feel like, even despite all of the brand new lore and backstory, his impact is pretty meaningless when at the end of the day he is going to be facing off against Ladybug and not someone else who'd make infinitely more sense for him to be battling against.

Hawkmoth really has no business thinking Ladybug is his greatest enemy when his own incompetence is the only thing he has ever battled against and Ladybug's gripe with Hawkmoth has more to do with the fact that she can't live her normal teenager life because she was chosen to be responsible to stop him. There's absolutely nothing that connects the two besides the fact that Hawkmoth wants her miraculous and the fact that they are both connected to Adrien somehow.

There's no clashing ideologies that are put at the forefront, they are in no way foils, Hawkmoth's "noble" motive of resuscitating his wife is impossible to root for because he spends the rest of the show being utter shit to his son so you can't convince anybody that he's a good person who deserves to be rewarded. The fact that at the end he's going to be rewarded with anonymity, a wish come true and his son never once being able to learn about anything about his deeds, all to make the showdown about how Hawkmoth and Ladybug have always been destined to fight against one another... it's just so silly.

The show really is a monument to wasted potential because how do you miss the chance to make it at least the kind of show that you'd recommend wholeheartedly because at least "the ending is good", and instead opt for the silliest kind of undeserved ending for the bad guy? It's seriously kind of depressing.

And to top it all off, the show actually gave Ladybug a formidable foe in Felix/Argos but then tossed that storyline away over... Lila??? Man.

#miraculous ladybug #ml spoilers #miraculous spoilers #ml leaks #I dont even think it's ml salt because I'm not angry but instead just SO disappointed #Ladybug is such a cool character in theory but in practice they just keep doing her disservice after disservice #she deserved a worthwhile villain to fight against and she deserved to be more involved in the search fo HM's identity so the final fight #wouldnt feel so absolutely devoid of meaning and reason besides “shes the good one he's the bad one”#it's just so dumb that adrien doesnt have a say in his life either like shit

Rae Rewatches Miraculous Ladybug

Season 1: Lady Wifi

Alya, there's no way you cut out Ladybug's face that perfectly.

Sure, focus on everyone in class and not the one who is currently NOT right next to you.

Since we know Chat Noir was there during the battle too, I suppose it's implied that Adrien got back faster than she did

"It's Marinette, leave a message! BEEP!"

She.... thought....Chloe was Ladybug because of a costume.

Completely disregarding the fact that Ladybug actually saved Chloe on live television

Early DJwifi!!!!

"But I guess you gotta be sly when Mr. Control Freak is your daddy-o" Someone give Nino a medal.

Awwww that split second shot of Chat Noir talking to the victim!!

THE HAIR

LOOK AT THE HAIR

"You are cray-cray lady." Atleast Nino still has some common sense

"I missed a half day of seeing Adrien!" Girl are you sure about that lmao

How is no one noticing Marinette talking loudly to herself

Marinette and Adrien are lucky everyone in Paris got whacked with the blind stick

Thank goodness Marinette knows her best friend well

My poor girl, she looks so tired!

Is it morning or midday? What's wrong with the sky?

Mundane black shirt and jeans is fab but sundresses aren't? Tf, Chloe?

DJWifi shenanigans at its prime

Do you all have....I don't know, HAIRSTYLE BLINDNESS?

How did Nino not get a concussion from hitting his head that hard on the locker my god

Well looks like Kim has changed a lot for the better from Season 1

Actually looking back, his crush on Chloe in Dark Cupid isn't really that surprising now

"There's no school policy on invasion of privacy!" How is he able to say this with so much confidence?

And honestly that explains a lot of things. *Cries in Ladybug*

Chloe you drama queen

Honestly? An hour of detention actually sounds reasonable. Alya didn't break in and enter, she didn't steal anything, but she did take that photo of Chloe with ulterior motivations.

And Alya doesnt actually fight back until Chloe escalated things, so there you go.

"My daddy, The Mayor" card = The "Draw 25000" card

Fire Damocles 2020

*skips Hawkmoth monologue*

I like the implication that Alya needs Marinette just as much the other way around. She's the first person Alya calls when she's in trouble.

Damn Hawky uses big words in this episode. Well atleast he found out a thesaurus exists.

Marinette sneaks into the class and no one notices. Now only if she and Adrien could do that while transforming....

Marinette "WHAT" Dupain Cheng

Adrien's expression when he thought Chloe was Ladybug is akin to him reacting to someone suggesting they boil a thousand cats alive

So much for "I'll love the girl underneath the mask, no matter what!"

So it's gone from transforming behind benches, transforming in parks, to transforming in front of her school principal.

"Everyone for your own safety go directly home, right now! Don't forget to read chapters 4 & 5"

Their priorities are wack.

"And it also means you must have a crush on Chloe!" Yeah!!! Totally not like she and Ladybug have been seen on camera next to each other at the same time!

THE HAIR, CHAT. LOOK. AT. THE. HAIRRRRRR

Bad yo yo tricks give it away but not news footage. Oh yeah, and HAIR COLOR.

Ladybug just predicted Copycat

Chat just casually flexing lmao

Chloe fell over and no one cares

"So what do you do when you're not Ladybug?" 'I talk to my kwami out loud and transform in front of my middle school principal, how about you?'

"You realise we might actually know each other in real life!" Oh you have no idea...

"How now, brown cow?"

Ladybug destroying phones is the most badass thing I've seen all day.

I like how he doesn't waste his Cataclysm immediately and goes for a much better and sneakier plam

YOU'VE GOT HER PINNED DOWN

okay now you know the masks don't come off by themselves

"Tomcat's come to save his lovebug." Akuma or not, Alya is always a Ladynoir shipper.

Damnit, Chat!

"Get her to use her lucky charm!!"

I-

THE SHEER IDIOCY

TELL HER TO TAKE HER EARRINGS

SHE'S RIGHT THERE

HAWKMOTH? MORE LIKE DUMB MOTH

"Your crush will soon be slush"

Great going, idiots, you had her and you let her walk free.

I'd make a much better Hawkmoth than Gabriel

"Ladybug's about to drop the bomb on her real identity!"

I-

*screams in frustration*

This is the only Lucky Charm this entire season that is used to help Chat Noir rather than defeat the akuma

I....kind of don't understand the logic behind that lucky charm. There was nothing in that box, and putting the empty, working microwave against the locked door would have had the same effect....idk maybe I'm missing something. If anyone could clarify this for me I'd really appreciate it.

Still pretty clever though. Not many would have come to that conclusion from a box.

Ladybug: I am not his lovebug!

Also Ladybug: *cradles him to her chest lovingly and asks him in the softest voice ever if he's alright*

Love his face before he hides the feed

"Don't let my miraculous get away!" Bitch shut up

Oh that was one cool move! Chat uses two of his batons to distract Lady Wifi while he destroys the cell tower!! That's a different kind of smart.

Ladybug made it in time, phew. I would have thought she would have detransformed by now.

Their fist bumps are so casual now lol

"Gotta go! You've only got a minute!" He's about to detransform too, but he puts her first.

HE COULD HAVE OPENED THE DOOR BUT HE DIDN'T. HE RESPECTS THE FUCK OUT OF HER, FITE ME

And she isn't too nervous that he would walk in either! She trusts him just as much!

Adrien followed his heart. The heart usually goes with the more impulsive decisions but Adrien's prime instincts told him that Ladybug's boundaries came first

*skips Hawkmoth monologue*

"Is that true, are you gonna tell him?" I never realised Tikki was talking about Chat!

"Your heart tells you one thing, but a great superhero always listens to her head." and THAT is what makes Marinette such an amazing Ladybug

Although...it does make me wonder.

If her head says that secret identities are important and her heart says otherwise......

Man, she never actually wanted the secrets. Her duty just comes first, that's all.

Alyaaaaaa

WHY IS EVERYONE SO DUUUUUUUMMMMB

Oh NOW you notice the hair.

"I happen to think that Chat Noir is pretty slick!" See? Alya is a Ladybug fan but she respects and appreciates Chat Noir just as much.

I completely forgot endcards used to be so simple. Now we have all these hidden meanings behind the new ones.

prime numbers! ((emberoops))

Does your character have siblings or family members in their age group? Which one are they closest with?

THIS IS SO SAD BUT NO...... he would DIE for a sibling, and his parents dont have siblings either so he doesnt even have cousins,,, he longs for that kind of relationship so much??

he ended up projecting being a big brother to many people over the course of his life instead, and it embarrasses him so much when he notices it happening, it makes him feel so silly

i would say the biggest tugs of that kind of dynamic rn are maybe with colin especially with all the dumb fake animosity, while adrien is almost a legit Parental/mother hen feeling of being protective of him

What is/was your character’s relationship with their mother like?

ive talked about this a bit before, but graham was the product of an arranged marriage. his grandfather made his dad marry a woman from a prestigious family so they could keep their popularity and prestige and important connections themselves, especially as immigrants in a very racist country

his parents ended up caring deeply for one another, but not in a romantic way, and his mother was extremely depressed and anxious throughout her pregnancy, and after graham was born. she was nearly suicidal and grahams grandfather was only making things worse, so it was grahams dad who basically. decided to say fuck it to his father, bring grahams mother somewhere safe, give her all the money and resources and protection she needed to get better and pursue her own life, and he was super attached to baby graham and wanted to raise him all by himself

this early turmoil traumatized graham and when he grew up it was something that made him feel othered in relation to his peers, in addition to his race, his culture, his budding gender identity and sexual & romantic orientations. it made him feel deeply unloveable, broken, and incapable of love himself, it was one of the things that made him grow up very wary of the concept of marriage, and it took a lot of vulnerability, respect and genuine care and hard work between him and his dad to understand that the circumstances of his birth were not his fault, and that this was the best solution for everyone to be able to experience their love for each other the best way possible

graham has met her several times, writes to her regularly, and he treats her like a dear friend rather than a parent. hes happy for her, her art degrees, her girlfriend, and in turn shes expressed a lot of pride and joy in getting to meet this boy she helped bring to the world

What is/was your character’s relationship with their father like?

graham loves his dad to fucking pieces

hes such a humble, emotionally intelligent and caring man, who from early on caught onto all the outdated and damaging aspects of the traditions of his family and fought against it time after time after time

he is completely different from his own father, who had very specific plans for him, and he just foiled them all!

with grahams birth, he did the best he could raising him by himself, thwarting his fathers enduring influence, and making sure this kid had all the tools to be true to himself and follow his heart no matter what. he isnt perfect and of course he made many mistakes, but he is always humble enough to admit when hes wrong, apologize to his child, communicate his feelings and figure out solutions together. graham has always had an amazing role model in him

the circumstances of grahams disappearance and then return after the trials of his own jumanji esque adventure are still difficult for him to understand, but he still believed graham, and he was the biggest force in bringing his son back from his damaging self isolation and motivate him to cook, to live, to carry on

he still remains ever supporting and adoring of his child, adoring of his new child in law, and just an all around amazing dude

On an average day, what can be found in your character’s pockets?

what pockets....

Does your character have recurring themes in their nightmares?

if theyre not horror movie or game induced, then theyre related to his period of isolation, to being trapped in an endlessly dark, silent, quiet cold place

he may see himself as he was when that happened too, close to starvation, hollow and alone

In what situation was your character the most afraid they’ve ever been?

during the time they were in their own jumanji esque adventure, completely by himself, unaided, trapped in some reality away from his own so he could put it together and slowly solve this lock puzzle until he got to come home again

Is your character bothered by the sight of blood? If so, in what way?

hes usually ok with handling himself with crises, even when theres a lot of blood

What was your character’s favorite toy as a child?

bunnies! lots of sweet stuffies, including rabbits, pokemon and marine creatures

his gameboy and his tamagotchi too

What is your character’s biggest relationship flaw? Has this flaw destroyed relationships for them before?

i would say his biiiiiiig repulsion/aversion to dating culture in general? this is related to his family history but is also a big consequence of his aromanticism

he has huge trouble understanding all the rituals of people jumping into commitments and weird expectations and fleeting obsessions when most of the time they dont even have a solid foundation of time, vulnerability and trust to even call themselves a good friendship, especially in people who he sees jump into the same pitfalls over and over?

ultimately he understands that his own circumstances are important differences in how people shape their relationships, but it still makes him extremely secondhand anxious, especially because in his experience as an observer rushed things and pushed expectations make for very volatile and intense disappointments that end up hurting him a lot too, and hes kinda very tired of that

nonetheless, this has made him grow distant of friends in the past, and while he regrets some of it and wishes it was easier to compromise and be more comfortable about it, he also knows that he was right about many situations and ultimately it was a better idea not to get involved and trust his gut

What does your character dislike in other people?

nonsensical violence, general assholery, unwillingness to listen, lack of consideration for others, being treated as someone useful for stuff he knows or tools he has or things he can give and then being discarded, he also feels very peeved when people sexualize him when hes talked about his nudity before and how it relates with growing comfort with his self image

What did your character dream of being or doing as a child? Did that dream come true?

i would say so, yes!! working on video games, pro cuddling and cooking for others are definitely pinnacles of things hes always thought would bring others joy

Describe a scenario in which your character feels most comfortable.

home... close to kes, taking a deep breath in their little home, with their little family, and feeling wholly, intrinsically belonging...

similar locations are for example when his dad throws a party and graham gets to invite all his best friends and everyone just has a lovely time laughing and eating together. game streams are a similar venture too!!

but at the end of the day, coming home, kicking off shoes and clothes, snuggling up to his starlight and their babies? pure bliss

Is your character more concerned with defending their honor, or protecting their status?

i still dont understand what this means,,,,

he does not have honor OR status SOBS

Does your character feel that they deserve to have what they want, whether it be material or abstract, or do they feel they must earn it first?

oh it is a constant cycle of tremendous happiness and having to pinch himself bc hes so scared hes still in the silent cold dark alone... hes always trying to do better to keep earning this. hes a bit better about it now, he understand ppl are here bc they want to, but yknow. brain trauma still does things sometimes.

Has your character ever had a dependent figure who was not related to them?

nope! but his dad moods are soooo big now. he just wants to protect kids and be a good influence...
