TV Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir

[Winter]

​

Set in modern-day Paris, the series focuses on teenage ninth grader. Marinette Dupain-Cheng and her classmate and crush Adrien Agreste. When evil arises, Marinette transforms into her secret superhero persona Ladybug, while Adrien transforms into his superhero persona Cat Noir. Oblivious to each other's true identities, the two work together to protect Paris from the mysterious villain Hawk Moth, who covets and attempts to steal their powers by using his akuma, butterflies infused with black energy, to influence and transform everyday citizens into supervillains.

I'm in love with this series so much. It's full of cuteness and it makes your heart go ahhh askdkfmslspnzjgc ;A; I've been watching it since it was released in French and Korean, and now that an English dub is out, I'm hoping that there'll be other fans of the show. =DDD

Hahaha, oh man, that was depressing. I remember being pretty excited about this in 2012.

I heard about this series, and it's now currently airing in Australia on ABC3. I might have to watch at least one episode so I can see what all the talk of this show is about.

Hmm? May I ask what was depressing?

If you watch the original PV and then look at what they've actually come out with you should be able to work it out.

Sorry, I can't. Care to elaborate?

 

[Lipstick Vogue]

Well the original PV had an appealing art style and appeared to have a slightly darker atmosphere/storyline. I was expecting something that I would probably enjoy but we've actually gotten something targeted at a much younger audience.

 

[Winter]

To each his own, I suppose.

YES YES YESSSSSS! THANK YOU FOR PUTTING UP THIS THREAD TO MY ULTIMATE TRASH LOVE <3 not obsessed
I'm currently dead to the world till season 2 comes since they finished at a really good place to end season 1.

For anyone who hasn't seen it, this is honestly the best explanation video that could ever explain the trash the is Miraculous. Hell if you have seen it watch it you will probably like this more xD

I'm actually more pleased to see the show go the way it went. Just like Thomas Astruc (creator)'s reason for ditching Felix (original Chat Noir) was that he was too anime cliché - Tsundere male lead who because of the heroine's optimism and personality becomes nicer and finally realizes his feeling for her. Hell as much as I like my fair share of tsundere males I've enjoyed, Felix annoyed me.

His intentions to charm Ladybug were for underhanded purposes. I think this is the most important point. Apparently, Felix was originally pursuing Ladybug in order to get his ring off his finger and to get rid of his "bad luck curse". Granted, it's understandable why he's so desperate to woo Ladybug, but it's not out of good intentions like Adrien's. Adrien is genuinely in love with Ladybug, sees and treats her as an equal, respects her, and admires her for her strengths. Adrien loves Ladybug as a person and because she's Ladybug. Felix just saw her as a ticket out of a mess he's in. And that's not a good message to send to young boys.

He felt that it would have limited the character's storytelling and development with Felix, and feels like he can pull out a lot more of an interesting character with Adrien than an what he originally had planned for Felix. I really wasn't feeling his character to begin with and if the creator feels he wouldn't be able to create good development then I'm happy he went with this route instead.

Spoiler:

I also was bought more with the 3D than with the 2D. Aside from the bits and pieces here and there with parts of the animation that are a bit off - I still preferred 3D over 2D. Characters themselves actually didn't really attracted me as much.

That being said, there are still at least 2 more seasons confirmed to see if there's gonna be anything even the slightest bit dark and a lot of time for character development. Not to mention there has been a Japanese OVA with 2D planned anyway. I'm still a bit meh because it is Toei...

Spoiler: I'm done with your trash chloe - season 1 spoilers

Can we just move Chloe to another town please.

I've seen so many kids loving this show it's adorable how much a lot of them look up to ladybug and chat.

 

[Lipstick Vogue]

I'd certainly take anime cliché guy and senpai please notice me girl dynamic over what appears to be high school musical.

Will give the show a go though so that I'm not bashing it blindly.

I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS THREAD STOP ME FROM MAKING A SUPER LONG POST BECAUSE I'M SO ADDICTED TO LADYBUG RN

I'm 2D animation trash and I almost always prefer 2D to 3D, but I actually REALLY like the way they've handled the 3D in MLB. It's actually super tasteful and well animated IMO so I'm really happy with it. Plus, it's really fun to try and translate the Zagtoon look into 2D art haha!

I'm a huge sucker for Gabriel Agreste who is, after Plagg, my favorite character. I practically live on the Agreste Family tag on tumblr I swear hahaha they are my FAVORITE...!!! Just really like the way they handle the storytelling and characters in this show. (I admit I didn't really like Felix or Bridgette all that much because they each took their stereotypes a little too far to the extreme where it kind of felt like they were caricatures of actual quality anime... but I still do like acknowledging that they were once a thing!)

Spoiler:

So what do you guys think about Mrs. Agreste and the peacock miraculous 8))))

 

[Winter]

Finally people who aren't ignorant haters :))))

Spoiler:

So many people are theorizing that Hawkmoth is Gabriel Agreste but I really don't think and wish he isn't. 'cause I'm pretty sure Hawkmoth couldn't be in two places at once in Simonsayz.

@zappyspiker lol Chloe better beware because Lila Volpina might just give her a run for her money for "Paris' head bitch" XD

Spoiler:

I really hope Volpina becomes a Miraculous antagonist who's not affiliated to Hawkmoth. It'd be ashamed if she started working for Hawkmoth, it just feels....predictable and she seems more of the lone wolf (or lone fox? |D) persona.

Spoiler:

I don't think Hawkmoth is Gabriel Agreste either but I'm really a huge fan of drawing the AU where he is and he's like, young/in his teens so I subscribe to it anyway. To be honest it's too predictable for Hawkmoth to be Gabriel like, they're pushing the hints too hard because they're obviously trying to con the kids watching the show into making the connections. But at the same time I'd be disappointed if Hawkmoth is someone we've a) never seen in the series before his identity reveal happens or b) gabriel agreste because that's too predictable.. So I guess there's no way I'll be a happy camper hahahaha! Some people are saying that Gabriel used to be the peacock miraculous holder and I'm like that sounds...

Like a fashion disaster. LMFAO THE MAN IS ALREADY A CANDY CANE CUT HIM SOME SLACK

Also that would require Volpina to get the real fox miraculous right-- I guess she'd have to steal it or something from Master Wu...?? But I really like Hawkmoth so I'd actually be sad if she wasn't affiliated with him somehow hahaha

I guess for non-spoiler conversation, who are your guys' favorite characters and why? :000

 

[Winter]

Aside from OTP, I really like Alya's character. I'm rooting for her to discover Ladybug's true identity (and imagine her reactions xD). She was soo close in that one episode about a missing textbook.

As for secondary characters, I like the concept design behind Juleka as well as Climatika. I quickly warmed up to Volpina as a character too.

 

[Skip Class]

Aside from Chat being my favourite character, definitely Nathanael!

@zappyspiker lol Chloe better beware because Lila Volpina might just give her a run for her money for "Paris' head *****" XD

Spoiler:

I don't think I could have the same mean feels I have for Chloe as Lila. She's just the new girl making up lies to be popular, fit in and get with Adrien, but Chloe is just your typical rich girl "everyone who is poorer than me so I can treat them like trash". Haha my live reaction of seeing Lila drag Adrien away... I don't think I've said nope so many times in an episode xD
Although she has at least half a season worth of akuma before she can get Chloe's crown haha.

Spoiler:

but I'm really a huge fan of drawing the AU where he is and he's like, young/in his teens so I subscribe to it anyway.

Spoiler:

omg I've seen so much of that floating around on tumblr ;-; let them be real
Though I love any agreste AU - even the ones where they have Felix as Adrien's older brother (after I saw this video):

Speaking of which have you guys watched any fan comic dubs? I swear I've been obsessed with them lately haha

Spoiler:

Spoiler:

So what do you guys think about Mrs. Agreste and the peacock miraculous 8))))

Spoiler:

Utterly the worst last episode to leave it on a cliffhanger :c I WANT TO KNOW. i'm just as curious to how he found nooroo since both Chat and Ladybug were chosen.

Also I love how Hawkdaddy/ Thomas Astruc interacts with his fans:

Also can we talk about
