#miraculous: ladybug and cat noir the movie

[smallpapers]

Just watched the Miraculous movie!

and wow what a hot mess!!

warning!! spoilers below!!!!!!

First of all, that's not Adrien/CN. His appearance as CN was ooc and so.. annoying and for what? The romance between the characters is so skewed and unbelievable. The series handled the dynamic between the two and their first meeting much better, although where the movie wins is that they didn't make Marinette an obsessive stalker. The overall plot was pretty weak and so were the roles of the supporting cast (chloe, alya, nino, mari's parents, etc).

Marinette's hero arc and emotional exploration was much better handled in origins than the movie. The aspiration and intentions of the characters were stronger in the series. The way the movie handled the CHOSEN ONE situation was also so iffy and forced. Per Origins, we know adrienette got the miraculous because they were there to help Master Fu when no one else would, sacrficing their personal goals (ruining the macaroons, getting into school) to help a stranger. It's one of the cores of the show- that everyone can be a hero by doing good with or without a miraculous. In the movie, Adrien didn't even get that. The miraculous just appeared in his room. The movie, although yes it had less time, sort of failed to show Marinette's ambitions. For example, wanting to be a fashion designer- it was just shown she drew and designed some dresses but that was it.

Also plagg... my god they ruined him... wasn't expecting all the fart jokes but I guess that's what kids (lets remind ourselves they are the target audience) find funny or something.

HOWEVER they did the funniest thing ever by giving past Gabriel some long locks I laughed out loud when this scene came on

like??? what even ??????????

On the other hand the visuals and animation were so good! Especially the rendering of the buidlings!! The magician's zappy effects!! They even gave mari's pjs some fuzz which was such a minor thing but such an amazing detail to include!

Anywyays, I am trying to look at the movie from the POV of someone who has not watched the series, without the biases of the characters' original personalities. I think the impact of the show would be even weaker honestly- maybe a decent thing to watch to pass the time but definitely not breaking any grounds.

okay watching the ladybug and chat noir movie here are assorted thoughts:

The animation is SO FUCKING COOL. LIKE SERIOUSLY WHO GAVE THEM THE RIGHT TO BE SO SMOOTH.

i appreciate that it does have cartoonish movement (like when the police cars arrive, when marinette has clumsy moments) but it's all so??? grounded??? everything looks like it has WEIGHT to it, like it's based in reality somehow.

nino u king of comedy

WHOEVER DECIDED TO ADD GLITTER TO CHAT NOIRS MASK DESERVES A RAISE

i fucking LOVE how plagg and tikki first showed up as animals!!!!!!

tikki is. something. "I'm about to kick your butt" was hilarious to me. she was SO done and uncaring lmao.

sabrinas hair is cool!! and i didnt expect the jolt of seeing all the other characters in the movie for some reason I love how they've done all of them

marinettes singing va. girl. holy fucking shit. what a VOICE. why is it so deep. why is it so cool. what the fuck. it is a jolt from the series but also DAMN.

Ladynoir in all 3 univeraes have all the best romance tropes

Series - Friends to lovers

Movie - rivals to lovers

Dystopian universe - enemies to lovers

In short Adrien and Marinette are soulmates in every universe 🥰
