ML S4-E1: Vérité/Truth Reaction

Hey! Well, usually, I stay up to date about the episodes airing, but, I don’t know, maybe working 3rd shift made me lose track of time and I completely missed it. Hopefully, @melyxan posted me a link to the newest episode in French, English subbed. Here’s my reaction to the episode :)

New intro music? Hmm.... not a fan...

To fix the Peacock Miraculous, mix molten gold and meteorite dust, and add a peacock feather.... Are the Miraculous made of meteorite? Do they have a part of their animal as a core like Harry Potter’s universe wands? Interesting...

LoL even Gabriel’s apron has Gabriel logo on it.... Come on....

The hidden version of the peacock miraculous with Gabriel is golden, and Adrien’s hidden version of his ring and LB’s earrings is silver... Could be useful later... or not...

In French, Duusu’s ‘gender’ seems to be male. I wasn’t sure until now...

Papillombre’s design sucks... Can’t believe Gabe’s a successful designer... 🤢

Tikki trying hats is just so cute :)

Kwamis chaos XD

Marinette’s convo with the girls is just cringy... soooooo cringy

The girls assuming Adrien is at her house because she’s acting weird

Marinette repeatedly calling Luka ‘Adrien’... poor boy... Someone said something about Luka snapping at Marinette telling her that he’s not Adrien... Might happen, might not

He’s so patient it gives me cavities from the sweetness

Ladybug and Chat Noir cutouts at the cinema... I wondered why they were so obvious, and why the cinema was so empty...

One of the movie posters’ title is “La Carie” [the cavity]

“My guitar is my only family”... gods... I’ve watched it before writing my reactions, and I couldn’t have known how important this was at that moment...

The lukanette moment every fan was waiting for :’(

I can see that Marinette really loves and cares for him. She wants to be in love with him...

“I’m the Guardian, my identity must stay even more a secret. TIKKI!!! SPOTS ON!!!!!!!” Can you say that louder? Papillombre couldn’t hear you from his lair....

I hear pigeons, I see birds... M. Pigeon #what, now? 73? And it took them all the movie time to defeat him? They’re getting lazy...

She forgets her dates with Luka, she forgets her patrols with Chat...

Throwing Chat off the building... and he acts like “Hey! Worth it! At least, she’s here now!” XD

At least, he’s not mad at her. He understands what it feels like to have a busy life, after all. He’s just so used to it, and she’s not. She’s working on it, and he knows it. Chat’s too precious.

How much do we bet she came back and the ice cream was all melted?

Wow, even Adrien got to free himself for Kitty Section...

I’ll never get over Rose singing XD

Hmm... funny... the movie poster “Le coquelicot” was in the movie theatre and at the bridge, but I looked for it and couldn’t find anything, except for a Ghibli movie “La colline aux coquelicots” [From Up to Poppy Hill] Wonder if it’ll have a role later in the series...

Oh! Theory time! Will we know about Luka’s father? (Spoiler: we will...)

Yikes... Try to tell the truth without telling the truth... It’s easy to say she makes fake excuses to disappear, but it’s also easy to see that she tries her best to please him and her friends...

“Even if you’re still in love with Adrien, I’ll understand.” Luka’s too precious... I repeat myself, but it’s true. 

I never really liked Luka (not disliked) because I’ve never really got to see how he was, but he’s really a sweet, patient and understanding, opened-mind boy who just wants to love and be loved. He doesn’t even ask her to be in love with him, just to be honest with him. Luka, you’re now up to my Top 3 favorite characters from the show!

Hmm... the possession was fast! I mean, they’re still in their conversation and like, 2 seconds later, boom! Akumatized. 

How do you call that, btw? Akumatized and, what, Amokized? Amokatized? What about both? Like a shipname? Akumokatized? Amokumatized? Help me, guys...

Luka fights Papillombre with all he’s got... “Run, Marinette!” Yup, he fights ‘til the end

Ok... Wiki time. I was curious about Pharo, the sentimonster, and looked around on Google and Wikipedia, and found this. Please take that with open-mind since I have nothing much. “Le Pharo” is a district in Marseille. Its name comes from “l’Anse du Farot” that had a lookout on the see. The word “farot” means “phare” [lighthouse]. It works perfectly with the spotlight Pharo uses to paralyze his victims

Both Luka’s akumatized versions didn’t have mouth, and where about speaking...

Rose’s faith in Marinette is cute “she’s the most honest girl in the world”... If only she knew...

I actually like Vérité’s design... makes me think of Nightwing

Aaaaaand it’s confirmed! Jagged is Luka’s father!! (Am I surprised? Not so much...)

Why do I feel like, later in their adulthood, in their roomplay, they’re gonna use Chat’s tail??? (I read too many fics, please send help...)

“I’m here to know if I’m your son.” - “It’ll depend on who you are.” Jagged says that like there are many possibilities....

“Luke, I’m your father”

Jagged admitting he wouldn’t be a good father and he preferred to stay away. Maybe Luka wasn’t happy to not have a father, but he had a mother who looks like she loved him. My sis raised her daughter without a father (because he’s an alcoholic PoS), and she doesn’t lack of love and is happy with their family of 2.

And Jagged admitting under Vérité’s influence that his son is awesome

Tom and Sabine playing video games XD

Protective Tom 💖

Ah! The cardboard cutouts to the rescue! That’s why they were obvious!

Chat’s puns don’t sound the same in French...

The gifts chest is still full

Plagg really destroyed Atlantis

Ladybug’s top 3 of Chat’s qualities, and what she like the most is his humor. So, Ladybug does find Chat funny, just not when they’re fighting!

Nope, Chat doesn’t rock the white lipstick as he did the black one

As long as they stay the same, Chat is perfectly okay with Ladybug being the Guardian. Whatever happens, he only needs to stay with her, and that’s just tooth-rotting sweet

Confirmed: Cataclysm doesn’t destroy a sentimonster. Lady Noire using it on Reflectdoll did exactly the same. To get rid of a sentimonster, no choice but to break the ‘amokatized’ object

LB and CN fighting without speaking to each other shows how much they understand each other as well

“If fighting a supervillain is so much fun, I can’t imagine your everyday life”... Do I really have to go there?

“There’s only when I’m with you that I have fun” Even if he tries to move on from Ladybug because of Kagami, he still loves and cherishes what they have :)

Lukanette is no more...

Jagged is trying (even in the subtitles, they put a smiley face)

No Lukanette, no Adrinette for her... “🎵🎶Ce n’est pas le moment. Il faut être patient. Être patient... 🎵🎶”

Kaalki, you’ve never ever seen a human crying??

Kwamis group hug 💖💖💖

Far from being “as chocking as Chat Blanc“ like Astruc implied, this was a nice episode with not-so-much-surprising surprises. We now know where Lukanette stands, we know where Luka comes from (wait... is Jagged Juleka’s father too????? Because if not, we still have a mystery to solve!!)

💀

There could be more drama if Chat Noir arrived earlier……

[aro-aizawa]

i...can’t stop thinking about how much better in quality miraculous has gotten. i used to think that season 1 and season 2 had such a dramatic difference. but season 3 had such a big difference with season 2. and season 4?!?!?! thinking about season 4 to season 1??? absolutely blowing my mind.

[aviculor]

ML S4 plot holes

Truth could have been a lot more aggressive with questioning Ladybug and Chat Noir. Sure they kept interrupting him, but there were long stretches of silence in the fight when both heroes were under his spell. They had to get lucky every time, he only had to get lucky once. He could have trapped one into a question with a long answer and asked the other their identity.

Hawkmoth/Shadowmoth knows the context behind the negative emotions of every person he targets, so he should have known about Su-Han interacting with Marinette and by extension the latter being the guardian/holder of the ladybug miraculous right then and there.

Kwami know what is going on while their user is transformed, so Wayzz should have been aware of senti-Nino monologuing about defeating Ladybug and therefore should have blown his cover as soon as “Carapace” transformed back.

Kwami can’t be detected through technology which was directly stated as recently as S4E1 during the video call and is the reason Optigami had to be made in a roundabout way. So the emergency cell Marinette gave to the Kwami shouldn’t allow a two-way conversation.
