Artists Draw Miraculous Ladybug Villains (That They've Never Seen)

[@psyducktective]

Miraculous Ladybug villain designs might be one of the few things in media that already are wild enough that Drawfee could have come up with them

[@yeetmcgeets]

Literally

[@madnessarcade7447]

True

A lot of them are actually really clever or unique. I'm thinking of ones that represent specific folklore or cultural references. The one that always sticks out to me is Befana.

[@buggart]

@@raemystic8854 I mean, it also has to do with the fact that they probably make recurring characters easier to draw and color since it costs money and time for each of them which is the reason why Marinette has short pigtails and retains that hairstyle while transformed since they don't need to add that much hair physics to it.

imagine being a therapist in miraculous ladybug like how are people supposed to process negative emotions without getting akumatized

[@47ratsinahoodie]

I mean, it'd definitely be possible. You'd just need to keep them in a state where they're processing the emotions while also being calm. And if push comes to shove, the therapist can always shoo away the akuma or talk the patient down.

[@spimingyarn]

A lot of the time Hawkmoth only akumatizes one persona a day/episode because of the kids show formula. Of course there are some exceptions but for the most part he chooses to single out one person who’s having a bad time! Also, I forgot if there was an in-universe reason for Hawkmoth only sending out one Akuma at a time so if anyone else sees this I’d like a refresher haha

[@47ratsinahoodie]

@@spimingyarn nope, no in-universe reason, but they could've easily made one so idk why they didn't just have his miraculous be damaged in some way so he couldn't send out an army of akumas.

[@Tabbyclaw]

@@spimingyarn It's never explicitly *stated* that he's only able to do one at a time, but his whole reason for turning Nathalie into Catalyst was so she could amplify his power and let him send out multiples, so we can assume he normally only gets one at a time in the same way Ladybug only gets one Lucky Charm and Chat Noir only gets one Cataclysm.

To be fair, Mr. Pigeon is like one of the first akumatised villains, and there is no long-term resolution to the problem he is angry about so he has a lot of time to be re-akumatised over the same issue of pigeon persecution. (never thought I'd ever say that)

Jacob is correct. However he forgot that the only animation director who can be perceived physically is Hayao Miyazaki - all others are nebulous clouds of creativity.

It is because Hayao Miyazaki learned to manifest himself into physical space, in which he then proceeded to look at himself, proclaim "human bodies were a mistake", and continue on his day

Since I haven't seen any comment trying to explain Queen Banana's explanation, I'll do it. All through the start of the episode, Chloe (the girl akumatized into Queen Banana) is seen eating bananas for no apparent reason. In the film her class is preparing, her half sister is Zoe supposed to have the lead role but Chloe gets pissed because she hates Zoe, and convinces the director (called Bob Roth lmao) to make her the lead instead. Chloe, being the spoiled child she is, basically changes the whole script, transforming her superhero role into Queen Banana (there is no additional explanation than she thinks it's cooler, she's never associated with bananas outside of this episode) with the car and the giant yellow gorilla that throws explosive bananas. When told that the gorilla will be a prop and not a real yellow gorilla, she throws a tanthrum. All her classmates, being tired of her because she's always overly demanding like this, decide to film the original movie without her knowing (in one day), so when Chloe comes to the set (a park) the next day and sees there's no one, then finds the class watching the completed film, she gets akumatized because she's just so angry. The akuma (demon butterfly) goes into her banana pin as well. It's a really wild episode from season 4, and as someone who initially liked the show, I will say that the first two seasons are quite good and then it devolves into pure chaos, little to no plot advancements (I swear there is one, yes), and really stupid scenarios (which is the reason Chloe is suddenly really into bananas for exactly one episode). Also, the gorilla's name is Banana Boom-Boom.

The weird love two-lane-street between is also stupid in a very correct way. Spoiler ˯Spoiler˯ I can’t believe they pretty much canonized that this funny ha-ha misunderstanding is vital to the fabric of the universe. Like, if they both realize the other’s identity & that they’re in love the world ends. Wild shit.

Nathan's narration of why stubbing his toe makes him mad killed me silently. There were tears. Thank you

[@Dodo__Dojo]

i love karina led episodes. its just her talking about her fixations in a way that assumes everyone knows what she's talking about and i love it because i do the same thing. anyways give me a digimon ghost game episode, have them draw the horrific ways a digimon could reek havoc in japan.

[@theomegajuice8660]

I like how, in Nathan's drawing, the hand holding the pigeon-whistle looks like a lil sock puppet bird. My head-canon is that the sock puppet is the true mastermind behind the whole thing.

[@KaylaKasel]

There is a puppet themed teddy bear villain in Miraculous, so, it's possible.

[@gelidgenteel]

funny enough the trope of "i will abuse my power for genetics modification to turn people into useless things" is shockingly common in Marvel Comics. "i dont WANT to cure cancer, i want to turn people into DINOSAURS"

[@JasminMiettunen]

There is a legit reason for it in the show. He wants the supervillains he creates to take Ladybug and Cat Noirs miraculous, which give them their superpowers. Spoilers below (for season 2 I think): -If you have those two specific miraculous, you can make one reality altering wish. His wife is in a coma and he wants to bring her back.-

As a Gen z, pigeon guy is right and incredibly based. They were our PETS, our FRIENDS, and we ABANDONED THEM. Can you imagine doing that to dogs and then calling them stupid vermin? ABSOLUTELY NOT. I stay angry abt pigeons. While I'm here: Drawfee draws Dark Souls bosses as pigeons

I totally forgot about the Thomas Astruc episode! And as I remember, when Chloe got in a fight with her sister, there was a banana present, and it was latched onto simply because it was conveniently placed. I love how bonkers this show is. I hope Nathan, Jacob, and Julia watch it. Edit: watch it EVENTUALLY. We need more of these episodes first.

i was revving UP waiting for the “he thinks dogs should be able to vote” during the first part and then jacob came through. amazing

[@neonparadise5053]

Fun fact: mr. Pigeon’s design actually predates the show as it exists now. An early concept now called miraculous pv shows him and the mime looking almost identical to how they look in the series, barring the fact that the pv is 2d animated rather than cg. He even predates one of the main characters (adrien) who was originally a much different character called Felix!

[@SpringStarFangirl]

Felix has returned though, and he's an even bigger asshole.

[@macalmy6750]

Karina: Why is he hot? Nathan: I don't understand the question.

[@macularius]

I like how most of the design elements of Nathan's drawing are fairly realistic and serious-looking, but then also he just has a flawless Mo Willems cartoon pigeon as his costume logo

[@EricSRiley]

I sincerely appreciate the Mo Willems style pigeon head in Nathan's drawing, as well as Julia's dual crown of Egypt going on in Banana Queen. This show contains multitudes and I love it.

[@tiotrile]

Nobody acknowledged Julia's "I think she also likes Jazz" and I would just like to shout that out 🐝

[@whatalsaid]

Here's an idea. Draw Winx Club characters (That you've never seen before) Karina can host that one. Not really sure if she's seen the show, but she seems like the type.

I don't really like the show, but I absolutely ADORE the designs. A lot of those were made by French artist Bill Otomo, he's awesome! Definitely check out other projects he worked on, like the Dofus movie, Droners, and Sidera. Sidera is a fake show made for the purposes of some movie, but it looks absolutely vibing.

Your line about being angry about Hawkmoth's names reminded me of a Ranma 1/2 antagonist. He was washed in a cursed spring after being born and became a chimera monster. He attacks the old man who washed him, and everyone assumes he's mad about being a monster, but he's actually pissed because the old man named him Pantyhose. He convinces the old man to re-christen him Awesome and leaves in peace.

Speaking as someone who lives in Paris, I can say that the pigeons here do not need a superhero to rep for them. The only thing scarier than a Parisian pigeon is a Parisian rat.
