Charmed 02x08 Review SPOILERS!!!!

Sorry this took so long y'all. Family stuff just blew up in my face this month has been just terrible it's been terrible since the end of november to be honest, so I just wasnt in the mood to review. But I shall starts. In general i liked the episode 8/10 for me. I like the pacing, the general plot advancing. I liked it, but I have some complaints though. So let's just get those out of the way. So I'll do pros and cons by subject since there were things I both disliked and liked about each thing.

1. Hacy

Let's just get this big guy out of the way. So abby and Harry kiss was a big no for me, although it was hot for sure.

Now there has been a lot of back and forth about this so I actually wanted to compare to the things that bugged me about Macyx galvin and where I thought one does better than the other.

Communication

So like Harry and Macy do not communicate well with each other right now. I feel that thier communication issues though are better (or at least make more sense to me) than Macy x Galvin.

Macy while communicating with Galvin, as far as arranging things, was bad, but with her kiss on halloween she did make her interest in Galvin known. They both had an understanding that they were interested. So I thought the whole Summer ordeal was worse in that sense because, while the follow through was poorly done, Macy's interest was stated.

With Harry and Macy, it appears that neither of them have stated any interest to one another (neither has told the other thier feelings) and neither is aware. So harry kissing some one else isnt as bad to me as the Galvin x Summer situation because of that (speaking about this area soley).

The passive aggressiveness of Harry and Galvin in certain situation isnt comparable because Harry is doing it more.I felt Harry's reactions are more justified (we will get to the hypocritical portion later) in that he is going through the wringer, is hurting and confused, and self-deprecating and many of us agreed that the thought of Macy preferring Jimmy would be bad and hurtful to Harry and logically make no sense. But harry has more scenes than Galvin did in season one so he feel more passive aggressive than Galvin, but I attribute that to screen time and proximity to the Macy (he always there so more time and chances to interact). But also, for me, Galvin wasnt as passive agressive and his sometimes aggressive or snideness wasnt because of Macy. Outside stuff (problems with summer) would make him snap or his trauma also caused him to snap so the situations are comparable there but, again Harry has more screen time so his snapping feels worse to me because it happens multiple time in one episode versus one or twice in a whole season. Since the situation ( and right now I am speaking soley on the summer x Galvin situation) was different. I am up in the air I as to which was "worse" i think both situations are sucky and i think i am more bothered by Galvin x Summer because again Macy had actually expressed her interest (communication wise) but the hacy situation feels more full of that passive aggressiveness and that will turn it into something I really cant get behind. Right now I feel Harry is in a bad place and probably shouldnt be with anyone until he get himself settled personally.

Love triangle/square or whatever

So like with summer x Galvin it wasnt really a love triangle I mean kind of but not really. Galvin didnt pursue Macy while with summer and was generally nice during that time. Summer wasnt necessarily the jealous girlfriend stereotype she was nice, but did call out suspect behavior.

The abby xharryx Macy x jimmy thing is like aweful. It is the love triangle that I hate most at least where the abbyxharryxmacy part is concerned.

I mentioned it before but I hate when one or two people use another person as a means of getting release/relief when they are actually interested in someone else. I think it is cruel to both the used character and the main LI. Worse when both are using others because twice the cruelty. IDK what was going on in Harry's head. But I have never like that type of love triangle, and worse so because it is possibly the other type of triangle I hate which is (usually guy) caught between two ladies and one is clearly the villian (I thank novelas for this gem *sarcasm*) and it is mostly a lust thing.

Especially given that James Westwell was a serial cheater, apparently, this idea of "I love one person but am in lust with the other despite thier character" is like the worst to me. Abby is straight up an ambitious murder, and like I guess that maybe Harry's default type because Charity had similar qualities, but again for a guy who supposedly has strong feelings for Macy and was so confused and hurt by her attraction to Jimmy (which apparently wasnt attraction at all) the ease of him doing the very thing he was mad about , and the ease of being able to push aside his feeling for Macy and give in to that abby kiss was gross.

Sorry but although they werent together, for me, guys who can do that easily should be on our cheater radar. Knowing that James was a serial cheater just makes it worse imo.

While the summer x Galvin situation felt worse on the communication front (expressed feelings) it was better done than here because there is a lot more grossness in the dynamics of the love shape thing right now.

Overall, I get Harry isnt in a place to be with anyone and it's all confusing and he is lashing out. He has not told Macy his interest and neither has she so he shouldnt be held to the boyfriend standards. But still the writers are toeing the line here. What happens next will actually help me define whether this turns into a Galvin situation where I end up not liking the two characters together. If Harry tries to continue the passive aggressiveness about Macy and Jimmy. I'll be done. I mean if he does have feelings for abby and trying to move on, but still tries to pull that with Macy it will just be straight up manipulative. Right now I am like okay he was lashing out and I get it and the abby kiss is probably a big mistake. He can continue the mistake path if the writers wasnt to go there, but if he doesnt recognize that he did something hypocritical and still comes for Macy about Jimmy it will be very very wrong.

I think they for sure need to clear the air but if the writers wait to long or do too much damage I wont be satisfied with the clearing of the air.

I am not necessarily mad right now over the abbyx Harry thing because I am waiting to see how they will handle and present it, but I mean it is on that line and writers need to watch out. I dont think Harry was trying to be manipulative and the lashing out happened before abby kiss. As long as the lashing out (at Macy) doesnt continue I will watch and support the development and exploration of thier relationship and dynamic with the others.

2. Maggie

So like Maggie shows her naivety here and I am not that mad. Like she isn't pulling a "I am so in love and blind to the world" thing she makes her decision based on what she thinks will do the most good for the most people. It is still naive, but she is still maturing and you can see that. Her wanting her sisters to trust her judgment and not feel like they have to baby her is reasonable although again those insecurities clouded the main issues here. She is growing and I shall see how she continues to mature.

3. Mel

I think they tried to fit some personal development for mel here and it both worked and didnt work. I thought it wasnt done badly but at some points I was like....okay could this have been saved for another episode or done beforehand. I wanted to see it, just didn't think it felt in place, especially after leaving the wedding. She just had some development and then was like welp guess I am gonna stumble upon this amber. Like mel could have gotten her new powers before, I mean I felt they could have made the stumble upon the amber scene and new powers at any point before and it could have been more relevant and interesting placed somewhere else than this episode.

4. Abby/overlord/parker storyline

Abby was probably the best thing in this episode. I love her as a villian. I am here for it and I want it.

Parker got dark real quick and while I think he and Maggie shouldnt be together, I am glad he didnt die. Also glad abby clarified that his actions weren't caused by the apple. Because at least OG with Cole the tragedy (the first storyline) was that he made a choice to protect the person he loved but he ended up becoming the source and actually being taken over by the source so his actions were tinted by his OG love but corrupted by that force that possessed him. Where as abby tells him, that that jealousy and want for blood was all him. Maybe the apple and that power made him more likely to act on it than of he hadnt, but it wasnt the apples fault necessarily so. I am glad for the clarification, makes me not want Maggie and him together, but I like that exploration of power and choice. Even with Macy while the power amplified those insecurities she still was making choice which also made her choice to give up that power extra meaningful. Power is corrupting but you can still choose to fight that corruption or give in to it. I like that.

5. Jordan

I love this character to be honest. I am still figuring him out, but like dude is cursed and has been basically touched, punched, and robbed by these guys. He can't catch a break and like nobody even checks on him. Like he so far is a pretty decent although suspicious (like he doesnt trust others easily not like he himself is suspect) guy and I like him but he is getting some serious Darryl treatment right now. I dont like that, but I like him and want to see more of him. Plus, what the heck happened? Did they leave him passed out in the gym? Did they wipe his memory? What is going on?

Miraculous Review #3: Mr. Pigeon

In the original 2D trailer, we got a glimpse of two of the villains that would later be used in this version. Well... technically three if you include Hawk Moth, but he looks so drastically different in it that IDK if that one really counts. One was a mime-inspired villain, who we’ll get into in about... another ten or so episodes. The other was... a pigeon-themed villain... huh? Pigeons? Really? That sounds absolutely ridiculous! And it is ridiculous. But that doesn’t necessarily mean ‘bad’. So was this concept able to soar? Or did it fall right out of the sky? Lets find out!

(Also, if you’d like to read my previous reviews for the show then click here and here to check them out!)

The school is holding a design contest. Whoever wins will get their design featured by fashion mogul Gabriel Agreste and modeled by Adrien. Naturally, Marinette enters... but she’s concerned because the item that she has to make is a derby hat. She’s unsure if she has the skill to properly make one as she has no designs for one and not even Alya’s encouragement is helping. Fortunately she gets the push that she needs by of all people, Adrien. He sees her designs and really likes them, which gets Marinette to collect herself and go out to get some inspiration. Chloe, having seen this is jealous and plans to out-do Marinette by being a rotten cheater. What a surprise...

As Marinette, goes through the oh so lovely process of brainstorming ideas, she spots a man feeding some pigeons. The result? Te local officials yell at him as it’s against par rules and kicks him out. This is our introduction to Roger, the main cop in the show, and boy is he a jerk here. I get enforcing the rules and that this is far form the first time the guy broke it, but still, sheesh. Even Marinette feels pity. But the pigeon feathers does give her the inspiration that she needs to finalize a design. She soon rushes home to get to work on it. In the meantime, the man feels bad that he got yelled at and can’t take care of his bird friends, so Akuma time! And thus, Mr. Pigeon is born!

Marinette is forced to go back out as she forgot to get feathers. She leaves just as Roger gets grabbed by a flock fo pigeons. But it isn’t long before she realizes that something’s up as HUGE swarms block the roads and bring traffic to a halt. When the news broadcasts Mr. Pigeon, she goes into Ladybug mode Luckily Cat Noir is also already up to speed... but we quickly learn that he has a feather allergy. But no time to worry about that as, since th pigeons are also kidnapping park officials, Ladybug has Cat Noir disguise himself as one to lure Mr. Pigeon out.

Yeah, A+ plan there... but it DOES work with Cat getting cat-napped and Ladybug following them. The result of this?

Yeah, Mr. Pigoen already knew that they were coming and traps them. How’d he get that cage? I don’t know. He tries to get the two to surrender the Miraculous by having the pigeons.. go number two on them... ugh... yeah... fortunately Cat Noir breaks then out with Cataclysm. Oh Thank God. Mr. Pigeon escapes however, forcing the two heroes to rush to the main floor of the hotel where the pigeons have everyone held up. Cat Noir needs to recharge, so as he goes elsewhere to do so, Ladybug watches the pigeons and realizes that they are all heading in the same direction: towards The Grand Palais, which is a historic sight/museum in Paris.

Indeed, Mr. Pigeon has the park officials all imprisoned there. Ladybug plans a sneak attack.. but remember Cat’s feather allergy? Yeah... but it’s okay! Instead, Ladybug uses Lucky Charm to make a coin which allows her to use a vending machine to get popcorn, toss it onto Mr Pigeon, and cause his own pigeons to pluck at him. The infected item, a bird whistle, is dropped and everyone jumps for it... and everyone gets it. So Ladybug just uses Cat’s hand to smash it. Ouch. The damage is undone (how Ladybug got that coin back IDK...) and things go back to normal!

Luckily, Marinette finishes with enough time to finish up her design and get it to school just as the judging starts. But... there’s a tiny problem. Remember when I said that Chloe was going to be a rotten cheater? Well when Marinette finished the design, Chloe had Sabrina take photos of it and sent off to a professional designer to make. So she not only stole a design, she dons’t even make it herself. Wow...When Gabriel (who couldn’t even bother to come in person) notices this, Chloe tries to put the blame on Marinette. But BOY does that backfire spectacularly.

Not only does Marinette explain the purpose of the design and what it’s made of, facts that only the designer would know in detail, but she points out her trump card: her signature. Which she adds to ALL of hr designs. Since Chloe didn’t even bother to look the design over and had the hired one copy it exactly, this little detail also got added. Chloe runs off humiliated and Marinette is declared the winner. Adrien outright compliments her design... but he’s gonna have some issues modeling it. Cause apparently feather allergies are a common thing in France, WELP.

Review

If I’m gonna be honest... there isn’t a whole lot to review here. The animation, writing, and action are all still very good, but feel much tamer. The villain this time around has lower stakes and it feels more comedic driven. What with Cat’s ridiculous dance moves an the whole idea of pigeons being a threat. Due to it there’s not a whole lot of story to go over as far as the A-Plot goes. But lets talk about our villain.

As I said, this whole idea is ridiculous. A pigeon-themed villain? Honestly? How the Hell could that even work in a superhero show? But... strangely enough, it works very well. With the show’s concept of how villains get made, this actually works pretty dang well. It also helps that the writers and animators get creative with Mr. Pigeon’s abilities and make him at least somewhat of a threat. Using swarms to kidnap park officials, halt traffic, and imprison people in their own homes due to the over-whelming numbers. I mean in the final fight he used the immense number to create boxing gloves. Say what you want but these people knwo how to get creative with their baddies. Mr. Pigeon sin’t the greatest villain and his motive, while it makes you feel bad for him, is also pretty weak. But he rolled with it and was overall very entertaining to watch.

But what ultimately makes this episode is the B-Plot. It tells the actual story and allows us more time with Marinette. In the first two episodes, most of Marinette’s actions have been driven by her crush on Adrien. We know that she CAN prioritize things as we saw in Stormy Weather but ultimately that’s the biggest part of her character aside form being Ladybug. While Adrien is still a driving force here, this time they take some more time to get to know her. And, as we’ll discuss in a bit, was VERY important at this point in the show.

When ti comes to Marinette, I feel that a lot see her as someone who is insecure and lacks confidence. Now saying that she doesn't lack those is also untrue, but it’s not as deep as it looks. It’s usually Adrien that we see her act nervous and doubtful and their first on-screen interaction definitely helps with that. But who doesn’t get that way around their crush? There’s also how she initially takes being Ladybug, but that’s for another day. But ultimately once Marinette has encouragement from Adrien, as well as Alya and Tikki, she becomes more self-assured and goes through with making the design. What’s also nice is that the show further make sit clear that Adiren won’t be a shallow love interest. You’d expect him to not even knwo who Marinette is, but not only does he recognize her, but he is nothing but friendly and encouraging towards her. Even with her babbling, he’s confused but still nice and you can tell that it’s not a put on, especially in the ending.

Back on Marinette, this episode explores her passion for fashion designing. We get to see her go through the joys of the creative process (I only write and BOY can I relate), finalize the design, and then create it. And once she starts to make the hat, we ca see that she knows exactly what she’s doing. he’s no longer doubtful of herself or her capabilities, she is now in her element. It’s how a lot of us get I think How many of us were nervous about if we could draw something? Or write something? And how we struggled with idea after idea, never truly feeling satisfied?But then once we get going, we feel better and more confident that we’re making something good? It makes Marinette mroe relateable as a result cause many of us have been there. Plus it lets us see a more self-assured side to her that we hadn’t yet outside the Ladybug persona, which makes her civilian identity all the stronger.

Which leads us to the episode’s ending. When Marinette sees that Chloe cheated, what does she do? She could call it out in front of everybody. She could take up Alya’s offer to let her deal with it. But no, Marinette knows exactly how to deal with it and decides to do so herself. She proceeds to go over the design and reveal the signature that does Chloe in. All while remaining calm, friendly, and with a bit of Ladybug-like gusto added in. Last episode we saw Chloe literally shove Marinette aside. This one? Marinette flawlessly humiliates the brat without once losing her composure. Yeah she may get nervous at times, especially about Adrien, and may need encouragement to act. But we also see that Marinette is confident and can take care of herself with this being the crowing moment. The episode allowed Marinette more time to show her character outside of Adrien and Ladybug, making her mroe three-dimensional and relateable as a result. And they did that beautifully.

Conclusion

The episode had far lower stakes than the last few and as a result, was more light-hearted and tame. A ridiculous with a surprisingly well done gimmick and a chance to learn more about Marinette. I wouldn’t lace this one in a Top 10 list anytime soon, but it was still a fun ride form beginning to end. It’s something I’d watch after say Simon Says or Volpina since those have some more intensity to them. So this would be a nice cool down after them. But yeah, a fun episode and I really enjoyed it!
