ML Season 3 Rewatch: Startrain

Production No. 313

Yaay Startrain! Similar to Desperada, I went into this episode with little to no expectations, and again it was one of the most fun episodes for me so far this season! As much as I do love the lore-heavy and more over-arching plot episodes, the fun easy ones like this always just put such a smile on my face.

fun fact, i watched this episode three days after i rode the actual eurostar from Paris to London lol, so the travel aspect of this episode was very fresh in my mind lol

i love that Marinette doesn’t even consider asking Fu about the trip because she just accepts that she can’t go bc of Ladybug responsibilities, but then Adrien is the opposite, asks no permissions and is just like “fuck yeah! hawkmoth is probably tired, let’s go on vacation!!!” i love how the show is always showing the differences between the two of them lol

Fu just straight up giving Marinette another miraculous just so she can go have fun lol. that is like the exact opposite of Tikki whenever she tells Marinette not to transform for her own personal gain lol

AAAAAH!!! I FORGOT THIS IS THE EPISODE WE FIND OUT THAT ROGER IS BALD AAAAHAHAHAHAHAH

i was so fucking shook when i saw this the first time omfg, they can’t just spring things like this on me!!!

roger looooves to give out those fines

hurry up sabrina hUrRy Up SaBrInA HURRY UP SABRINA

poor sabrina though lol, she does waaaay too much for Chloe

and roger just like accepts that his daughter is doing all this shit for her friend? wat lol

Alya is so cute with her multiple blogs. heck yeah girl, start another one, follow those passions

markov identifying Adrien lol, nice

yes Adrien!!! disobey Gabriel!!! fuck that guy!!!

seriously this is such a big step for him, actually straight up going against something Gabriel would disapprove of. i’m so proud

they spend like a full minute of exposition just talking about train mechanics lol. unsure why other than just to show the handle thingy that becomes Ms Kante’s akumatized object

Max and his mom are too cute

apple should have sponsored this episode with an official apple watch for how often we see her check her email lol

89.7% chance of passing. i’m not sure your mom exaaactly wants to be hearing any odds right now Max lol

the akuma goes into Sabrina’s suitcase, and that’s how it gets onto the train - but I could have sworn that we’ve seen akumas phase through objects before? or was that just between small window openings?

look at Chloe getting a new jacket and boots

LOVE that Ms. Bustier is exasperated by Chloe’s behavior too lol

lmao, Chloe dismissing Sabrina, only to call her back on her phone less than ten seconds later. classic Chloe tbh

like obviously Chloe is being pretty terrible here, but still, the way she just yells things at Sabrina, like “mask!!” makes me laugh

“it’s Big Ben!” thank you, Adrien-been-to-London-all-of-one-time-Agreste

aaaahhhh the way he looks at her after she yawms omfggg. why do they do this to me lol

some solid advice from mvp bestie Alya here. as much as I do love Marinette’s confession plans, things probably would work out for her more if she could go with the flow more

can confirm, there are no actual service robots/drones on the actual eurostar. sorry if anyone is disappointed

love love love this sequence of everyone just relaxing and having fun on the train. wow happy times are nice

lmao Max’s mom checking her watch with her nose

as SOON as Marinette fell asleep on Alya’s shoulder i KNEW she would swap with Adrien and ooohhhh man this show did NOT disappoint. thank you miraculous writers, we are grateful

adrien isn’t even listening to music, he’s studying omg what a sweetheart

aaaaaaand there she goes :)))) she’s sleepin on his shoulder :))))))

why the fuck does he just go with it so easily??? he’s so happy???? and just immediately snuggles into her hair???? aaaAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH I LOVE THEM

also i love that they show us everyones reactions, while also granting us several different angles and shots of this beautiful moment. this is the Despair Bear slow dance of season 3 for sure (god i love that scene too, Alya the ultimate mvp)

fuck lila!!!!

but go Alya!!! get her awaay!

lmao Sabrina immediately jumping in to help Lila with her nonexistent problems

l o l chloe announcing that she’s Queen Bee all dramatically, but then just like, “oh here’s an akuma btw, no big deal”

hahahah why does Kim ALWAYS feel the need to be in his swim trunks i just

Marinette and Adrien STILL asleep <33 wonder what they’re dreaming about

lmao Simon from Simon Says is all like “i’ve been akumatized before, i know what it looks like” when like every single other named person on that train has ALSO been akumatized before lol, sorry you aren’t special

suuuuuuper interesting that the akuma is still naturally inclined to go after Max’s mom’s negative energy, AND that she accepts the akumatization without any prompting from Hawkmoth

also i like that she just names herself after the train lmao

“this..is..spacey” god i love Juleka lol

why are neither gabriel or nathlie upset or surprised that Adrien got on the train without their permission

Gabriel only cares that Adrien is in danger, when Gabe isn’t creating the danger himself

“hoping my enemies will save my son, how ironic” more like your enemy IS your son smh

okay, this is not how anti gravity works. you don’t like swim around. and their hair should be crazier. i feel like Roland Dupain, “that’s not how it’s done!!”

aw Max’s mom is having such a fun time driving her crazy space train

adrien complimenting marinette’s strategies <333

lolll Chat just admits to being on the train, where Ladybug has a preplanned reason, amazing lol

Chloe asking for her miraculous again, and Chat placating her by saying they would have if theyve known... he’s just setting her up to be disappointed. besides, this is AFTER Ladybug said she wouldn’t give it to her again. but we all know chloe isnt really one to listen to things she doesnt want to hear

ooo just noticed that the lucky charm doesn’t fall into her hands, she has to grab it out of the air - nice

Max’s solution to his robot over heating.. is to pour water on it lmao. i guess markov is waterproof?

hahaha i love Kaalki so much already. imagine if max got to hang on to his miraculous permanently and had to form this bond with a tiny sassy horse. i love it

the music and the like blue digital streaks in max’s transformation are so goooooood

and i like the little Hermes inspired wings on Pegasus’s shoes

Pegasus has horseshoe vision

theyve been holding their breath for a long time lol

okay i use hand warmers all the time (bad circulation) but when i watched this episode the first time, for some reason i had no idea what Ladybug was doing and was super confused by how she warmed Markov back up lol

the voyage! animation looks super cool too!!

and lmao Max teleports the train directly into big ben

adrien’s so chill with just going back home after all that lol, not even worried that his dad might be mad?

marinette have better made that picture her new wallpaper lol, theyre so freakn cute!!

This episode is so fun. This is now the second episode with a new Miraculous holder with Max getting the Horse Miraculous, and I like how it was set up in this episode, there was a good reason not only for LB to have it with her, but to give it to Max as well, and I think it suits him pretty well too. In terms of production order for this episode, the only thing I can think of is that Chloe is still asking for her miraculous, even though this is after Miraculer when Ladybug tells her she can’t give it to her again. But honestly, I think that’s just Chloe and her assumption that she’ll be needed again, rather than the episodes being out of order.

Cena do ep stratrain💘💓

Other times "Stratrain" told the laws of physics to fuck off:

When Startrain made one of the carts so hot to point of the heat being compared to the FUCKING SUN and the fact that Ladybug, Chat Noir and Max didn't even break a sweat from it.

And when another one of the carts was turned into was pretty much THE VOID OF SPACE and all it took Ladybug, Chat Noir and Pegasus to survive there was to hold their breath.

Ya know what I absolutely hate when they put the kids in places that isn't the plain old ground?

Their absolute ignorance of a) skill or b) how the physics of that actually works

Like Frozer!

first off, I'm assuming that's everyone involved's first time on the ice, perhaps not Kagami, but either way, she's a fencer, not a skater.

Their is no way Guitar Dude Luka should be able to do a lift and for Mari to hold a lift, that's all absolute bullshit

Kagami shouldn't have been able to do all the jumps and spins she did bc she's a fucking fencer, not a figure skater. Her entire family are all fencers, maybe she's dabbled in this for vacations or smth but she shouldn't have that skill

Marinatte's the most realistic here and even then, she's not realistic at all

And then, the actual Akuma. Physics were tossed right out the window. I can't even.

Syren?

YOU DON'T MOVE LIKE THAT UNDERWATER

Like uhh

And cars? Floating? Haha nice try, Astruc- oh my God, you were serious? You're telling me a 4000 pound vehicle -several of them - are floating? Right, right... Guys I think we need a new writer-

Don't get me started on how they just zip through the water like water doesn't hinder your movement. Have you ever been pushed underwater? Yeah, exactly. Have you ever thrown something -or someone - underwater? Exactly

And oml you need to use your arms when swimming - even if you have flipper feet now - so you can direct your body. COME ON ASTRUC, THIS ISN'T ROCKET SCIENCE, STOP MAKING THIS BAD-

And now... Startrain.

Even babies know that zero gravity isn't like swimming. There is nothing for you to swim through. You don't just hover and move as you please, either. There is no gravity to pull you somewhere.

AND THE BOOMERANG???? LIKE I SAID, THERE IS NOTHING THERE

THAT BOOMERANG WOULD'VE FUCKING FAILED

I'm crying, I hate this show sm
