Writers and world building vs. Writing the story in the world

Was pondering how Mark’s rigid ass mask/lens is prob a Budget Thing (since squishy, bendy lens are pretty much a mandate for all hero animated series, like JL, BTAS, TNBA, Spider-Man, etc), and then I was slapped with a vision of Mark in a more JL/BTAS-ish style and I had to see it through. I am a genius btw.

Does anyone think that dating one of the demons or angels could be considered a "forbidden love" trope in some way?

With peace and power dynamics between the 3 realms being mentioned as fragile, exactly why Diavolo rejected the idea of marriage when asked in S3 by the brothers, wouldn’t it then be considered risky to, publicly at the very least, date the demon/ angel from the realm they reside in?

MC, the sorcerer that surpassed their master who is deemed the most powerful sorcerer himself, considered a powerful weapon, with an (unstable, without protection from the ring of light) immense amount of magic, in a relationship with demon/ angel could be considered they've sided with the realm their lover resides in.

The topic (and unused potential) of the tension between the 3 realms, how MC affected that during S2, and wether choosing a lover within a realm they don’t belong in would be a risky decision.

Be honest, what are your thoughts on appledash? Do you hate it or its more of not a big deal

Not a big deal to me. I like it, I see all the appeals, I just personally like Rarijack more.

There really is something about how Blue Faction was formed to be the option for people who didn't want to be involved in Bad and Foolish's insanity and now they're being dragged in by force. Bad and Foolish are like an inescapable black hole that pulls everything around them into their gravity and destroys it. You are never truly safe from their conflict

it's kind of funny that we're back at the start, as it was known from the very beginning, as the story always was, the old lore: "the Divine Gate was built in response to the destruction and suffering of the Calamity as the Prime Deities realized was far too much and, as such, they needed to also remove themselves from Exandria to protect it from the ruin that the gods dwelling here brings"

I feel like. The fundamental opposite of a lot of ML fans. Like yes I care about the LS but a HUGE part of the show that has been consistently lacking is it's worldbuilding!! Both the side characters and the actual lore! It took way too long to get to it.

This is finally starting to feel like a real full-fledged comic book universe to me- and that was Astruc's intention when he created Ladybug in the first place. Don't forget that the original idea was a teenage girl inheriting a mysterious pair of earrings! Inspired to take up the name Ladybug and fight crime and investigate secret evils lurking in the city after her father is suddenly murdered and she demands justice! And then the networks wouldn't greenlight the show unless he turned it into a kids' romcom. But even the rejected concept bibles had these overarching themes woven in- and comics thrive on very elaborate worldbuilding.

So I'm digging that we're getting to see this coming through now. Do I miss lovesquare shenanigans? Yeah, a little, but I wouldn't trade it. Nodding along like YES here are my classic Batman and Spider-Man vibes.

I do feel bad for those fans who bought into this thinking we were gonna get a kids' romcom the full way through, to be honest. I do love what's going on, and I think for a lot of people who were never super enthralled by the lovesquare and were always in it for the lore, this is a change they don't really mind!

But it does almost feel like a bait-and-switch, doesn't it? If everything about the show used to be so heavily centered around the lovesquare in all its fluffy, saccharine glory?

I do wonder what it would've been like if we had just gotten to jump into the comic book stuff to begin with, though. Whether the show would have gotten as far as it has without the romance, etc. At the very least the willingness to introduce more villains and more lore makes the prospect of 14 seasons a little more bearable, since the scope will seemingly keep increasing.

Still, even though I do feel for my mutuals mourning the lovesquare souring a little post s5 finale, I am also one of those world-first fans, so it is nice that the show is delivering on that front now.

i want to make a ppg sequel that looks like the concept art for that cancelled batman beyond movie & other cool stuff so bad, they should’ve put me in charge of that cw reboot, i would’ve made it cool and funny and heartwarming and devastating and animated idc if i was literally 13

(context he has 2 dads lmao) (also her dialogue is a reference to their pilot name, the Whoop-Ass Girls!)

[mercutio-the-velaryon]

Meljayvik discourse reminds me a lot of those barely baked Challengers takes that said "Patrick loved Art, Art loved Tashi and Tashi loved tennis" in the sense that people love making these smart sounding little quips to surmise very complex relationships and they never land (and also tend to be very reductive especially about the female character in the dynamic).
