Marinette Is The WORST Female MC In Existence | Video Essay/Rant

And by the way trauma doesn't make you a creep that's just bad writing to the story because the point of having PTSD is to avoid the area or the place that cause you to have the trauma in the first place and being a stalker is not a sign of PTSD that's just pure obsession a very toxic at that and I don't care if you're a man or a woman you shouldn't be stalking someone like this you shouldn't know about their personal life or what they have going on in them knowing their calendar knowing their food schedule knowing what place they can go or just whatever sneaking into someone's House stealing his phone using her powers irresponsively when she used them against the Lila being a hypocrite and just a terrible friend even her friends are just as terrible as her and hypocrites at that and this is stuff that we shouldn't be teaching our kids especially the impressionable ones who think stalking their BF and GF is a good thing but in fact you're just being a damn creep

The one thing that I hate is why don't they play to Marinette's passions to make new plotlines? You could've had the premise of the Shanghai Special be that she's having a designer's block, and that coupled with the fact that she sees her mother's outfits being traditional to Chinese culture, she could be like "I want to go to learn more about my culture and to feel inspired", and maybe Adrien just happens to visit her uncle's restaurant and you could still have them interact. You don't need to make her a weirdo to make plotlines work, you need to play to pre-established plot details to pay them off in a satisfying way. And this is why I'm going to rewrite this show in a similar but different style to the Scarlet Lady AU. Similar in the sense that I'll try to preserve storylines from the og show, but different because some of the set up won't be the same.

[@utahsrainbowsprinkles]

THIS!! It’s the fact that Marinette (and really the other characters too) don’t get to showcase their interests and passions like normal people!

I think the writers forgot about Marinette’s interest in fashion. In season 4, the Wishmaker episode, Marinette said she wasn’t sure what she wanted to be when she’s older which was strange because you think she wanted to be a fashion designer but, I don’t remember that interest being mentioned in the entire episode. It makes me wonder, when even was the last time she was shown designing clothes?

My worst complaint about MLB isn't even really about Marinette! It's about Kagami! Kagami is my favorite character in MLB, because I think that a lot of kids can relate to her. An introvert with little to no social skills, controlled by her strict and "uncaring" mother. She is alot like Adrien in that respect. However, the thing that I hate most about her, isn't even her fault at ALL! It's her fucking design! Her blue hair is too reminiscent of Marinette, but her Ryuko identity is where it gets bad. The red and black accents are almost identical to Ladybug, and to top it off, Marinette got to be DragonBug, and their design is basically the same thing! It's horrible. But what really pisses me off is the fact that her name is "Kagami". Now, don't get me wrong, I LOVE her name. It's simple, adorable, actually the right race, (Japanese) and rolls off the tongue nicely. But the Japanese meaning for Kagami is "mirror". She's literally just a mirror to Marinette, created so that Adrien could have another love intrest that wasn't Marinette, but could make it feel like it was Marinette dating him. Astruc wanted a character to date Adrien to create "drama", but decided on another FUCKING MARINETTE. Not that her personality is even remotely similar to Marinette, because in my opinion, Kagami is 1000x better than Marinette. I would have loved to see a series of Kagami as Ladybug and Adrien as Chat Noir that focuses on two sheltered kids being able to have fun for once.

Like, Ryuko is like, "You.. Should give this girl some flowers, maybe. And try looking into the meaning of the flowers, she might like that," and then the next day she gets some pink camellias from Adrien, who's gone online and found this random website for flower love languages and is trying to figure out which flowers means "I love you" in a poetic way.

Chloe later gets hospitalized by Mayura and her identity gets compromised, so she lends it to Zoe, while their dad (Zoe and Chloe are also identical twins in my AU) accidentally gives Chloe a new miraculous as a get well present, not knowing it was magic (I thought a Phoenix would be fitting, seeing as how Chloe's character was burned to ashes.)

I’m gonna say this as many times as people need to hear it. Trauma doesn’t excuse bad behavior or actions, it could be a factor, but it should never be a get-out-of-jail-free-card. You own up to your actions, and you fix them and improve yourself, you don’t blame it on trauma.

[@JustinJulian-00]

Yeah man kratos is a better character than Marinette for one he has done a lot of fuck up as well it has done a lot of terrible things even though everything that he has done won't be forgotten he is trying to make amends for his sins and actually confront his past to learn something from it how to improve yourself use your path as a lesson about how to be better in the future that is the true message of God of war Valhalla and he does own up for it even though people are never going to forget that and some may not never never forgive him but he is trying his best to be a better man and a better father because he is a veteran who has finally take a break from doing wars and not trying to get into fights anymore and with the blades of chaos kratos can control on how he uses them now than he does when Aries controlled them and that's a sign that your past doesn't control you anymore

It now makes me thing that Mari is basically both what Thomas wish his daughter to be. While, at the same time, is his self insert. Because I suspect this is why he not only has a girl he hates so much he makes a character of her to villainize and harass. AND another woman (who is his ex) to be his "wife" with his other self insert. His obsession greatly matches Mari's. Her actions in the show is possibly some sort of unintentional confession.

This is why I loved the Miraculous movie so much. It removes so much of what's wrong with the show and especially Marinette. Adrien and Chat Noir are actually important to the story. He and Marinette/Ladybug bounce off each other really well and genuinely feel like a team, unlike the show which treats Ladybug like she's the royal queen of superheroes and Chat Noir is her useless sidekick that's there just for the sake of being there. And best yet, Marinette doesn't stalk Adrien. She has her crush on him yes, but she doesn't stalk him and obsess over him. Her crush on him is a healthy one. And another fantastic thing, Adrien and Marinette reveal their identities to each other at the end of the movie and get together. I fucking despise the bullshit of them not being allowed to reveal their identities and the movie goes to show that it could be a good thing, better even for them to know rather than to keep it a secret from each other. Not to mention the show put its fans through years of "will they won't they" and it's beyond annoying

The entire KP movie is actually about how important Rons help is and how Kim isn't as effective without him. Meanwhile poor Chat Noir doesn't even get to be a part in the season 5 Finale. It is also really weird how Kim is both more relatable and less of a Mary Sue than Marinette, eventhough Kim is supposed to be extraordinary and ridiciously talented.

For goodness sake Tikki claimed Mari is the best Ladybug she had ! I mean HELLO,Astruc had the audacity to have Tiki claim that after saying the past Ladybugs were a Saint and JESUS. The Son of God.

Marienette be on that crazy shit no cap.Lets talk about how many thing she stole from people in the first three seasons alone. Marinette has literally stolen multiple things and nobody calls her a thief. Kagami "steals" Adrien and is thought of like a criminal. Lets be real. Girl a full ahh criminal.

[@WolfTrot]

She's worse than a criminal...

[@IceFireofVoid]

Marinette is such a perfect representation of how much of an out-of-touch weirdo Astruc is. He's a rich guy who still has a grudge on his middleschool bully and wrote a protagonist based on the imaginary child he fantasized about having with his ex. Of course she would be a rich spoiled brat who calls herself a normal person. Of course she would be a creepy stalker with a complete disregard for boundaries. And of course the universe within the show would love and praise her every step along the way. Because the writers think this behavior is good. They think it's normal. It's normal to Astruc.

[@BreadBush]

I know its an obvious point but Marinette forgives Gabriel for almost killing her, abusing his son who is her crush then keeps the dark past as secret from said boy for no reason, and then she tunrs around and Cloe, a teenage girl who hanst thretaned her life and saftey, is unforgivable Second way less important point, Marinette is a fashon designer and despite possesing the ability to choose what her Ladybug costume looks like she sticks to the UGLIEST most BALBDEST more UNISPIRED design ever, good job Marniette, so fashon of you

[@JustinJulian-00]

Another thing I forgot to say is that the miraculous costumes don't look good the design of them are just too simple and a bit bland like I can give you examples of characters with better costume designs than miraculous Spider-Man Batman iron Man and probably many more but their costumes that they have gained over the years like Spider-Man's iron spider armor iron Man Endosymbiote armor and Batman's hell-bat armor but they need to bounce out the complexities and some simplicity of costume designs so that their design is not too simple and not too complex just something in the balance

[@JustinJulian-00]

And since the miraculous are magic Base anyone who wears the jewelry should be able to change the designs of their costumes every once in awhile because the ladybug and cat noir have the blindness costume designs can they at least change their designs when they do the transformation phase next time

Why is the power system soooo bad here? Besides the fact that the lore is so minimal it's a miracle that they have it in the first place.

Not only it creates bloat in the ensemble with the kwamis and the class but some of them don't even need to be there! If I were a writer, I'd have the Miraculous be seven max at least in Paris while the villians can be on the supernatrual or mystical kind....because Gabe was soooo tiring after season 2! If they wanted to have mutiple seasons, at least they should have done that!

[@barbiihamada4523]

Even since I first saw the ending of season 3 I trough making Marinette the guardian was a cheap way of trying to give her more ''relevance'' in the story.Because up to that point all the importants things of the story were making Adrien more relevant;He is Chat Noir ,His father is the villian, his father's assistant is the other villian ,his mother is the main goal of the villian ,his cousin and aunt obviously knowing Gabriel has something to do with the akumas,while all Marinette had in that moment was just being Ladybug. Is like if they realized how much relevance they gaved Adrien at that moment that they needed to do something to give Marinette more relevance so she could stand out more than him.And it makes no sense because Fu wasn't even a real guardian since he never finnished his training! So obviosly she should have never became a guardian.But oh well Miraculous Logic 🤷🏻‍♀

[@gracekim1998]

exactly

[@Etherealdjinn]

And they made Fu so pathetic. Like an anti zordon. He’s suppose to be much older and should’ve been smarter than that. Like imagine if they used good writing to have a fail safe plan and it actually came to me today. Say Hawkmoth did find him before the mess with Chloe but the box he had was empty and a fake with not sensing the miraculouses anymore, leading Hawkmoth to believe he’s been chasing after a fake or decoy all this time. When in reality Fu had the kwami’s hide away in time without renouncing his guardianship. Can also give him time to finish his training and for the heroes to seek outside help.

[@katelynallison6036]

No one ever talks about the episode Riposte. In the episode Marinette trys to take fencing and Adrien says Marinette your supposed to touch me. And after he says that Marinette giggles and says touch you then she moans after..... That is the episode when Kagami first comes into the show.

[@aria-fantrexian5574]

Other than that, there's also Animestro where Marinette teamed up with Chole to stop Kagami for bonding with Adrien which.....WHY!? (Ignoring the fact that Tommy would have been writing Chole being bad on purpose because he doesn't know how personal growth works). Marinette doesn't try to be friendly or just help her parents because apperantly she thinks that Kagami is as bad as Lila when she's not (sigh....what a jealous dog)

Oh that bullying she faced from Chloe ? Still it doesn't make any sense why she is so so so so over obsessive and such a huge stalker.

[@malikpierre-louis3343]

Kinda unrelated and I might be wrong about this but (if I remember correctly) in season 4 Gabriel says something like "the reason why ladybugs never makes any mistakes is because she NEVER takes any risks." But if you remember in season 3, She accidently leads him to master Fu while still in her ladybug costume, which is a huge risk and ends up being huge mistake which leads to him capturing master Fu, hell I think he even mocks her for her mistake during the fight when they are about to DE transform. So yeah (if I am right) this is yet another instance of the writers forgetting their own story to treat Marinette like someone who is perfect.

[@libramoon1582]

From watching Miraculous Ladybug analysis videos, I can describe Marinette in few points: 1. Her crush on Adrien went from normal puppy love to yandere obsessive in later seasons 2. Doesn't know her boundaries 3. Her friends enabling her obsessive behavior 4. Gets no repercussions for her actions and is easily forgiven 5. Mistreats and gaslights Chat Noir in season 4(well... she was somewhat of a jerk towards him in the earlier seasons but this attitude got worse in the fourth season) 6. Is written as a Mary Sue with BS deus-ex machina moments 7. The reason her father got akumatized ( looking back on the episode "Weredad" now I know who's in the wrong) 8. Forgives Gabriel Agreste for his villainy in the finale despite all the horrible things he's done throughout the show and keeping Adrien in the dark about his father's sins 9. Her "trauma" being explored in a LATE episode to justify her stalker tendencies ( I pray for your sanity discussing "Derision"....🙏) 10. Thomas Astruc's favoritism towards the character

[@Cinnamonraisin_Bagel]

to be honest i don't quite get why she was written to be a creep but it could've maybe worked if they just gave simple consequences to her actions and acknowledge things were wrong, as someone who's been watching miraculous since i was a kid i'm glad when i watched it as a kid i knew her actions were wrong because i fear that this show could push this behaviour onto children.

@@Cinnamonraisin_Bagel honestly I thought mari's stalking could have been a good shock lesson because most of us are in mari's pov in the show. we generally understand her thought process and how she explains or justifies the behavior to herself and because mari is generally a good person who is cute and helpful and awkward but means well...we don't see her as a threat...her friends dont see her as a threat either and think its romantic or let it slide because they trust her character. but I though it would have worked where mari gets away with it and not realizing the issues in her behaviour for a while...just for it to blow up in her face where adrien finds out mari has kind of been treating him like a celebrity crush. that she'skindof treated him as a love interest first anda friend second fearing the friendzone...how its easy to tell yourself its not abig deal when your anonmous and the crush doesnt know so you think your not bothering them... where we see side affects from her NOT being honest with her feelings and lying to his face...like if anything I felt adrien had put civilian mari on a pedistal because he thought she saw him properly...when in fact her rose tinted glasses often warped her view of him a bit. the show directly has adrien face consequences when he messed up or does something wrong in how forward and open he is about his crush...where usually LB calls it out directly or the show punishes him more directly... but always has him realize where his action was wrong. while mari holding back her feelings, doing stuff whre he can't see it, collecting info from afar on the surface seemslikethe better choice since its not bothering adrien like how chat's way bothered LB....but then they culd have a shock where it catches up to her and it blpows up in her face where he genuinely does get pissed and hurt. over how she handled it. and it points out the negatives from how mari handled her crush..like her not having a proper accurate picture of who he is in her head because she struggled to talk to him properly...and how her view aboid looking down on the friendship part for fear of a freindzone and jumping steps could have issues. and how even if your feelings coem from a sincere place..handling it the way mari did could make your sincere feelings come off as shallow where its more like a celebrity crush type. it would work as a contrast to eachother like yin and yang and have more impact becuase alot of us DO not realize how far we goa times and how its easy to justify ourself or others to enable and not call the behaviour out because WE think we are fine/believe we are being harmless. but then the stupid episode of ehr repressed trauma came to try to justify and explain it when mai being afraid of vulnerability so collecting info from afar IS already relatable and ow plent of teens can act around a crush! boundaries can be hard to realize when its alot easier to collect info on people now adays

[@selmabm3409]

Everything that needed to be said was said. It really does make me miss season 1 and 2 Marinette because she wasn't being the forced "kind helpful person loved by everyone". Worst part is that every-time she does act like this, the show wants to make you believe it's for a selfless reason to be helpful, when it's in fact for a selfish reason that benefits her. The boys only party : She wanted to get in Adrien's room Forcing Kagami to reconcile with Adrien: She wanted to see Adrien in the pool And other stuff like the twins birthday, Chloe becoming a villain were also pretty bad. But the most annoying one so far, was the diamond dance. Girl, stole Zoe's identity, snuck (yet again) into a private event uninvited, all just so she could tell Adrien two words she could've said to him the next day at school or by text. She could've waited one night but noooo, she had to make a scene in front of all the guests and not only did she not suffer consequences, she didn't consider she could've gotten both her boyfriend and her friend in trouble with their parents. And she still wonders why Gabriel doesn't like her.

Kagami may fit the main character role but I would die if it's Chloe or Lila, those two will absolutely crash the show like villains into good guys or Lila being a villain and recognizing that lying leads her going nowhere and redeems her action by going to mental hospital and the new ladybug would be Chloe or Kagami.

I don't think you understand how much this is becoming common and I love it so much she treats her partner abusively and yes cat noir flirts way too much but the way she goes about it is really wrong, constant down talk on Chloe for other actions other miraculous holders have done after her it's just her personal bias against Chloe, shes a Mary Sue I don't think I need to say much more about that, and her most egregious offense is being a stalker; but those people don't know anything, crushes don't have birthday plans for their 60th birthday, have a layout of their crushes schedule with their exact time and dates and don't use their superpowers to break into their home and sniff their pillows. That's not having a crush that's called full-blown creepy stalking but this would make for an interesting character if she faced consequences, I'm pretty sure we can see that she faces little to no consequence. However not all main characters have to be good people just good written characters unless this show was made for children and it's supposed to be their role model; and by the time that we do address the stalking date excuse it with fake PTSD and ruin another character who honestly wasn't that interesting to begin with.

Like most people back then, I liked Marinette in the early seasons and thought that the Love Square (which is now Toxic Square in my eyes) were adorable, she was also a part of my favorite character chart before Amphibia and other new shows of the decade replaced her with main leads that got my heart within a few episodes or after the first season But season three......It was like I got punched back to reality when Reflectdoll first appeared. At first it was okay but the more time passed, the more I realised that Marinette was not the angel as I was supposed to believe...she's actually a wolf in disguise.... Whenever I think of that episode, I can't help the rage for taking over: LADY! THAT STAFF IS MADE OF METAL! I'M SURPRISED THAT ADRIEN WAS STILL ALIVE AFTER THAT! I don't want to make my comment as long as an 200 page novel since MG and the other MLB reviews had already hit the points home, so long story short: Marinette is as like if Anne from Amphibia and Mark from Invincible didn't gain the charm and character development from writers that actually care and instead had the cursed candy from the MLB's creator.
