[@LivingFire_BurningFlame]

I genuinely love the movie because they fixed marinette's character in my opinion. She seems relatable, reliable and REAL. No stalking, no mary sue writing, no popular and rich girl. Just a main character with social anxiety and ACTUAL problems finding and building her confidence. For me, Jeremy understood the assigment. ... Not because I wish Marinette was more like Peter Parker.

[@starlight8904]

Fixed? she's still the same, they just cut out a bunch of stuff so her character could fit into the movie. In the movie, she didnt have trauma or suffered the burden of her hero duties and secrets, she was just a normal girl, which is fine but this means people technically don't have much to say against movie Marinette because they saw very little.

[@pearlrocks3209]

I mean, marinette in the movie didnt get traumatized by chloe which led to her weird stalking(she figured out overtime in the show that it wasn't a good thing and learned to give it up), aside from that, there wasnt really anything to say against marinette in the movie cause we didnt get to know her very well, where as we got really in depth with everyone in the show and got to see all their flaws.

[@jenmiranda13]

We only found out that she was traumatized in recent seasons. Early on, she was still a stalker, was perfectly fine around Kim, etc. It was only after Chloe's redemption arc was scrapped that they flushed out Marinette's character.

[@pearlrocks3209]

there is a lot of misinformation online. Chloe never had a redemption, people just misinterpreted what happened, multiple people from the show even explained there was never one planned, even the colorist of the show had to say it in an interview called "Feri Gonzalez interview part 2: Marinette forgives Chloe". What happened to Marinette with Chloe was not an excuse, it was just to tell us what happened and she learned it wasnt a good thing to do, but that experience was so bad that she blocked it out of her mind. The show expressed that Marinette really was affected by kim as she not only did not choose him to be a miraculous holder(Fu chose him) but she also tried to avoid anyone who had a similar sense of humor like Kim's, which is why she was always upset by Cat Noir's sense of humor at times.

[@jenmiranda13]

@@pearlrocks3209 true. But she showed some signs of changing. But then she backtracked. She was about to have a redemption arc but she didn't because the writers decided against it for whatever reason. And since chronologically speaking, we saw the results first of Chloe bullying Marinette, what I said before still applies. At the time that the first few seasons were written, they probably didn't have a reason for Marinette's behavior. Most of the time writers are winging it and they are allowed to change their minds of course. But it's better for them to not alter too much to make the story flow better

Again you..💀💀

Exactly and you can actually feel SOME sympathy for Gabriel bc he actually cares for his son and stops FOR him. Vs in the show where even Natalie lost hope in him as he’s chosen power over his son and his happiness countless times

[@Alegriacaptions]

It was... Until Adrien said "The less interested you are, the more they run after you" and "your boyfriend's too busy to lend a hand?". What an asshole, ladybug politely declines his feelings, now he blames her for needing the superhero he is? He's never shown that entitlement in the series.

[@parycartoons6840]

I liked how they made Nooroo's power more intimidating when it's used for evil here. In the show you would have to have the victims either agree or give up. In the movie it's just like "Nope. Forceful change. You get no chance to fight back,"

[@mladybug6620]

In the show it's very hard to give up,so they mostly get akumatized easily.

[@lunarialoonatic]

Yeah they made it even more powerful on some level in the movie

[@Alegriacaptions]

I dislike this, the tlotr like whispering, and the French dub with Nooroo saying "master, it's urgent to stop. If you keep going, the butterfly will take your heart forever". The miraculous of the butterfly isn't inherently evil, it's not meant to corrupt a heart... Anger and sadness aren't inherently bad feelings either, it can be useful... The movie really made the miraculouses like butterfly: evil, keep it away from people and lb/c: good, give it to heroes.

[@Jonathan_Collins]

The movie literally accomplished stuff that the show didn't. They didn't make Marinette creepy, Adrien wasn't sidelined to put Marinette in the spotlight, and their identities were revealed instead of the bullshit excuses that Astruc uses. The only thing I don't like is how they ruined my boy Plagg, and the fact they didn't let Christina Vee sing her own songs, but apart from those things, I think the movie turned out great!

[@Daezies23]

[@starlight8904]

dude, you are severely misinformed and dont understand the story. The movie had to wrap everything up really fast, but the studio wont let the same happen for the show cause the show is to popular and they want it to keep going for as long as it can, its not Thomas's call to keep the show going, its Zag, Zag owns the show and wants it to keep going for as long as possible because it's earning big profit. The show focus's a little more on Marinette because she is the one with the bigger burden to carry rather than Cat noir. And we already know that her weird stalking thing was because she believed it was her best solution to prevent herself from being hurt after what Chloe did to her with Kim, but Marinette learned over time that it wasn't a good solution or a good thing to keep going, so she learned to acknowledge it and give it up over time.

[@danialshamshuddin]

They gave Tikki a reality-bending musical number but Plagg’s introduction was a cloud of green gas. Unbelievable.

[@Zvwry]

Adrien was 100% sidelined. We don’t even get to see him and plag talk for the first time before he turns into chat noir

[@pandaworld8166]

@@starlight8904 no amount of pre-planning will ever convince me that Marinette's reason for that stalking was thought out in the beginning, If I remember, the reason they gave was because Keith (? Gorrilla guy idk his name) was pretending to date her because Chole said so? You don't keep all of the information of the guy you like down to the hour of stuff he does because of that. Making her self-concious about her crush on Adrien and doing some digging on, I can understand. We should've seen them become good friends while her crush was developing and gain a trust in him! Because if that really affected her, she would've had the same info on her other love interest. I haven't seen season 4 and 5, so its good to hear she gave up but that doesn't mean we can ignore the fact that she should be doing jail time lmao.

[@living_free_and_pride]

I honestly prefer how Gabriel was handled here, while a bit fast, I liked how they showed his descent by going from a strict overconfident guy to a desperate mess (plus Adrian talking back to his father as a consequence of his obsession, chef kiss, I’ll take that anytime over mister "yes father" from the series) plus how his power trip instantly ends when he realizes that he is beating up his son and has been sending him killers for months, instead of just going "oh I can use that, no pain no gain boy".

@@mladybug6620well it makes sense when you consider that it’s literally HIS son. He almost killed HIS son, the only one he has left since his wife’s death. Everything he was doing in the movie was yo make their family whole again.

[@Sophsworld5983]

This movie feels like a love letter to miraculous fans whose stayed with the show since the beginning. They gave Gabriel the story we all wanted, I think act 1 is more well paced then act 2, and they should of showed more of Adrien since it did focus more on Marinette and arch of becoming more confident, so the impact at the end didn't feel as strong

[@nash6568]

Yeah they had the problem of being forced into a small space but they did the best with what they had. They should make a season based on this to flesh everyone and everything out

[@lunarialoonatic]

Agreed but imo they did do justice to Adrien but not Chat. I think we needed more Chat to flesh out his character dynamic

[@shinigamis_like_apples4797]

I think the thing with plagg and the farting in this movie was to show how in the beginning he was super immature and in it for drama like s1 plagg, and then over time his character has more growth which we can kinda see when he snaps Adrien out of HIS drama

[@lowkeyykiraa]

i wish they would’ve showed how adrien fell in love with marinette not just because she was ladybug. we got to see ladybug falling for cat noir and adrien and we saw cat noir falling for ladybug but the only reason adrien loved marinette was bc she was ladybug? like that is the only serious criticism i have for the movie because even the show handles that part better. throughout the show you can see LB showing slight hints of having feelings for CN and adrien very clearly has feeling for mari… the movie just didn’t have that. i’m rambling now but i could talk about that for so long it makes me so upset

[@kamikazelemming1552]

I love that they gave Gabriel a "I'm killing my boy" moment, like Dracula had in Castlevania, and showing his physical degradation as he continues to push his health to the side in favor of continuously attempting to steal the Miraculous was a nice touch.

Real tension between LB and CN as a result of the love square, realistic charters and relationships, Gabe akumatizing actually bad people who want to do bad things, and most importantly, ADDRESSING THE CONFLICT YOU'VE BUILT UP FOR 5 SEASONS. The bare bones story works well since you can leave out the messier plot-lines if they don't get another movie (the Sentimonster plot, the alternate love interest, other heroes) the songs started out really weak and awkward, but got really good towards the end, and I mean Disney level Long haired Gabe is the definition of hysteria, HOW HIGH WAS WHOEVER CAME UP WITH THAT ?!?! and the reveal, MY GOD THE REVEAL, it actually retroactively makes the show worse knowing how easily we could have gotten this

There was a lot of jump cuts but they had to cram so much into this hour and thirty minute movie.

Also I Ioved all the songs, and Marinette’s singing voice didn’t bother me that much because it was so good! I got used to it pretty quickly. And I just kinda thought of it as her inner voice coming out in song, because she’s supposed to be super shy and self conscious on the outside. This is a 10/10 for me, and it honestly made me not want to keep watching the show after seeing everything I wanted to see.

the movie was ok, but its understandable since they had to be quick about it. The characters were overall the same, but they had to cut down on a lot of their character traits and change a few things to save time. In the movie, Marinette was still a weird self conscious girl, but she did not have the same weight of responsibilities and traumatic experiences as her show counterpart. Adrien was still a sweet guy who cared for others while struggling with his fathers distance and the loss of his mom, but he had his freedom and did not grow up with the same restrictions and modeling job as his show counterpart. Movie Gabriel genuinely still cared for his family and stopped the moment he found out Cat Noir was Adrien, while his show counterpart went insane and became corrupted by his obsession and power.

Ngl the way they designed and wrote Chloe here makes me wish for the 2nd movie with her getting the Bee Miraculous.

@@ForrestFox626 oh I didn’t know that they confirmed it. But I meant when the main characters were able to fall in love and find out each others identity in one movie. Not talking about the other plot

[@winddragonlundholm1792]

My petpeeves with the movie are 1. Noroo is not an evil kwami, so the butterfly miraculous isn't evil either so idk why the gaurdian doesn't know it can be used for good and puts it in such a bad light 2. How they dare robb us of an kiss at the end of the movie 3. Why did Christina Vee not get to sing? She is an amazing singer and it's a very jaring transition between voice actors which was totally unessisary she she can sing, and very good at that!

[@annienunyabiz6627]

I just appreciate that they got rid of Marinette stalking. It wasn't cute, and it wasn't harmless just because it was a girl. It's always really weirded me out how people act like really toxic and/or dangerous behavior is somehow okay, cute, romantic, or not that bad when a girl does it.

[@plantishfellow]

17:06 Homelander!! He's the only blonde villain I can think of off the top of my head. Unless you include villain jocks/mean girls (think Heathers, Regina George etc)

[@olisa_hehe]

Literally Gabriel Agreste lmao

[@Alegriacaptions]

My major concerns with the movie were in the French version: when Gabriel transforms for the second time, Nooroo tells him "Master, it's urgent to stop. If you keep going, the butterfly will take your heart forever!" and the whisperings of the miraculous of the butterfly that do kind of like the TLOTR ring... The butterfly is not inherently evil and Gabriel's "corruption" only comes from himself and how he decided to act on his grief. Also Adrien after being rejected and being called on his miraculous, says "the less you care about people, the more they need you", which is not at all how his character is in the series (and also doesn't make sense with the situation) I didn't find anyone to talk about the movie yet

[@quartzossie]

And still better than whatever Astruc slapped together in 9 years.

[@kiyomi_kamimoto]

As a French who watched the movie in French dub, we were all also shocked to see the difference between Lou's voice (Mari's singer) and Anouck Hautbois (Mari's va). Like in English, Anouck has a higher voice than Lou, and as much as Lou is a great singer, her voice just doesn't fit Mari in any way. And as in English, Anouck can also sing, although I think Christina Vee has more experience and knowledge than her in that domain haha. But they just had to put her everywhere as the star child I guess since season 2 for whatever reason, like in openings, musics, movie... 17:07 Also, here are some blonde vilains or antagonistic figures I could think of : Aether/Lumine in Genshin Impact depending on who you choose as the Traveler, Lily's mother in Pokemon Sun&Moon (don't remember her name...), Chloe from MLB may fit as a vilain since she's a bully and was akumatized multiple times, Draco Malfoy from Harry Potter (he's kind of a bad person even though he has reasons or something, right ?), Signora from Genshin Impact, Cocolia from Honkai Impact 3rd and kind of Star Rail too, Otto from Honkai Impact 3rd

[@colony30sshittyproudbanner]

Late, but Lily and Gladion's mother was named Lusamine, and one of her assistants Faba (who was also leaning towards evil) is also blonde

[@maybe8985]

6:58 it’s ironic because tikki singing voice in french is Moana’s VA 🤭

[@ClassicStudStudios]

I have not watched the show, nor do I plan to, but I did GENERALLY enjoy this movie!, it’s cute wholesome and sometimes heartfelt!. You and your partner’s banter was very cute!. Also can’t help but notice Zane in the background ❄️🧊

[@DaNintendude]

Honestly loved Plagg in this and I wish he got more screen-time. Felt like he was barely in the film. I didn't like the fart jokes, but he felt like a real sleazeball, and I wasn't expecting that. I think it fits along with the fact he's the Kwami of destruction more too. He's a slob.

[@ONEPEAKFRFR]

The movie did in an hour what the show couldn't do in 5 season

[@Strwbrychaee]

finally, actual fans reacting to the movie

[@muhammadsaadlaher9544]

Negative legend: *can't think of a villain with blond hair* Gabriel _in the same movie_ : am I a joke to you?

[@The_hunter0905]

The songs were great in my opinion but the changes in the timeline and pacing. The pacing was too fast. I will say that making marinette less obsessed really worked for her and I like that Adrien listens to Careless Whisperer

[@RaysofLight98]

As someone who watched the filler episodes with a friend in college, and we’re now approaching our 30s… this proper story was great. Could have used a longer runtime since this is a Netflix release to really flesh things out… but otherwise it’s perfect.

[@carmjane9478]

i know I'm a little late out with this, but i happen to find a villain that is blonde. if any of you have seen the series Lolirock, you know that main villain in that show is lord Gramorr and he is in act blonde.

[@daniapfel2825]

Gramorr have lemon green hair

[@shaynetoppsuperfan]

this movie surprised me with how good it looked!! also just a fun little movie to watch

[@theclairewhy]

16:55 Hawk Moth is blond! So are King Joffrey, the Malfoys, (young) President Snow, Luke Castellan, Grindelwald, Vecna, Dio Brando, and Valentine Morgenstern. But it's not as common for sure. And they're often *platinum blonds* too, probably cuz it looks more unnatural? Tonsss of female bullies are blondes too because of how we demonize femininity. Chloe Bourgeois, Regina George, Ali DiLaurentis, the Chanels, the Heathers, Sharpay Evans, etc.

[@janaviselva2476]

You guys should watch Miraculous office AU its a animated fan series on youtube. Its really good it combines Miraculous and the Office show together centering around a older Marinette and Felix (they use him instead of adrien)

[@SparksFromFireworks]

"Name a villian that's blonde" i mean, Chloe and Gabriel in this IP alone. For more in varying settings: the Malfoy family, Prince Charming in Shrek, Cersei Lannister, Dio Brando, etc. You're not wrong with the point you're making theres just a lot of exceptions to the rule

[@Xo_Beanie_MorningStar_Xo]

Dio will forever be a villain

[@bomblitz8002]

I'm pretty sure the long hair Gabriel jumpscared all of us 😭

[@darkhelliadarkfire6109]

Technically Let It Go does advance the plot because Elsa makes Olaf in the beginning of the song before making the castle that Olaf leads Anna and Christoph to. If Let It Go never happened Elsa wouldn't have made Olaf who wouldn't be able to take Anna to her sister and the castle wouldn't have been made for the set piece it ended up being for Elsa's capture sequence with Hans.

[@therubyminecart5291]

This movie, I loved to watch it, mostly because of the way it portrayed Marienette and I wish this was a show because Zag did a better job than Thomas could

[@portuguesetrash5285]

i think someone said it beffore but if not... in europe green cross is just a normal pharmecy. we dont do the two colors

This was hands down the best, funniest reaction I have seen to this movie. I died of laughter at the "Don't be yourself. You suck." 🤣 This movie made you 2 wanna go on a date to an amusement park and I love that.

[@caitlinanderson8328]

Did anyone else notice that Nino is voiced by Zeno Robinson who also plays Hunter in The Owl House? Did they change his voice actor for the movie or am I just dumb and never noticed lol

[@Linnzy]

Yeah they did, and possibly for s4 and 5 ? I just watched s 4 and 5 and I didn't find it sounding like Zeno...

[@ew2dr]

i was looking up the voice actors when i saw max mittelman in the end credits (ive watched the movie in another language) and while i was scrolling the cast page i saw zeno robinson next to keith and my brain went WAIT- WUH HUH- WHAT- WH

[@zerowing21]

blonde haired villains, oh the goblin king from labyrinth comes to mind, along with Dr. Blight from captain planet. Hate the entire blonde hair equals good thing, reminds me of the bs they pulled at the end of World of winx s2 with tinker bell when the mermaids only saw her as good once her hair was back to being blonde.

[@wolfclaw719]

Harley Quinn is blonde, granted its sometimes hard to tell as modern incarnations of her tend to bleach blonde then add the red and blue but the OG was a blonde. ... Wait does she still count? cause they've have been trying to make her a hero for a while but she started a villain

[@omgaminah2388]

I kept saying harley quin when he couldn't think of anyone.

[@spinjitzumasterfalcon]

This movie was so good that I can't even go back to the original series! Man, I actually sympathize with Marinette. Not to mention how good the animation looks! Also, at 12:57 My exact reaction. 😂 Glad I'm not the only one who agrees. Although I will agree, I'm not that big of a fan of Let It Go. But Spider Verse!? Man, I loved that soundtrack

[@Zarsla]

The person who is singing for Marinette, is the same singer from the original French voice cast.

[@fluffycloud3529]

16:40 Gabriel used to be lightblonde before he got cataclysmd in the original series guys- LMAO

[@hambram21]

21:32 what would be even darker is if the miraculous ladybug “fixed” the people who died and brought them back to life too since it resets the city. Imagine literally dying and being brought back to life and you just have to be fine

[@subliminalrats]

I personally loved Adrien wearing wired earbuds in the year of our Lord 2023. I felt so seen

[@Queen_Audrey1803]

11:13 its a symbol he moves so stealthy it dosent ring its more of a show off then anything and because evertime his cat ears here something it ring to let him know theres danger near hawkmoth is blonde

[@anubisgodess2353]

You know what's funny between the two of you with your Dynamic you two could totally cosplay is cat Noir and ladybug if you guys wanted to😂😂

[@keirasites1333]

The stormy girl was blond with huge curly pigtails ❤

[@sakunaruful]

Adrien and Marinette’s songs are sung by Lou Jean ( a French singer) and Lenin-Kim. Aside from the miraculous theme song, they did another music video called the walls between us about ladybug and cat noir.

[@shoujokadyan5502]

Hawkmoth had Onceler "How Bad Can I Be?" Villain song vibes

[@sarahac298]

yes I would say the singing threw me off guard the entire film but I was also upset that the song "the wall between us" wasn't in it as I was so looking forward to an English dub of it.

[@moonmanog1195]

‘Name a blonde villain’ Gabriel: BLONDE VILLAIN

[@puredemon5926]

It is actually a different universe and not at all connected to the show. The original creator took over Thomas Astruc's role (for the movie) I think and did his own version with a mostly whole new crew aside from the voice actors. In my opinion, with that in mind, it's better than the show. It is a bit rushed though. But that was the main problem. If they cut out the musical bits they probably could have had more time. I don't think it needed to be a musical as much as I love musicals. And yeah, Mari's singing voice is good but does not match Christina's voice at all. I got used to it over time but at the start it was jarring.

[@sofiaboddington6287]

did they watch the 'end credit scene'? because this movie is not a stand alone the second one is in progress and set to release in 2026.

[@echostrauss8304]

I would watch an entire series of the two of you reviewing movies like this~

[@adrianoctavio]

Me who still wears wired headphones because I don't have to charge or connect them, and they're a good extra self defense thing when I have to take my phone out on the street so people know that snatching the phone means getting tangled with the wires I've anchored with my mask

[@CanIswearinmyhandle]

I don't think wired headphones date something because they still exist. I still use my wired ones when I leave the house because I don't want to lose my airpods

[@msbutternubs]

17:03 blonde hair villain: Dio from JJBA (yall r super cute btw)

[@HouseHermit]

I belive this movie is more for fans than first time beginners. The main point that sticks out to me is that movie!marinette sees cute boy in library and crushes. While Show!marinette disliked him at first then fell hard after seeing how kind and honest Adrien is. First time viewers probably thought "ah yes classic love at first sight" Am i a little salty that there was no verson of the thunder scene like in the show? Yes.

[@MintyBubble]

Blonde villain - Meredith Blake from the Parent Trap

[@MiffyXL]

"There are no blonde villains" Then what is Gabriel!? lol Also the Manisters, Malfoys, and Prince Charming from Shrek 2

[@emZeyB33Z]

went to watch the film to watch this video must say, I was impressed! I like how the second? song (Tiki introducing Ladybug to Marinette) had the melody of the theme, the designs- I am in love! GABRIEL ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE A FASHION DESIGNER The gimmick wasn't led on for too long and the reveal was quite nice. THEY DID ADRIENETTE SO RIGHT HERE The singing did throw me off

[@losers_comet]

Blonde villains: Toga himiko, the evil captain america (cant remember his name), shalnark, phinks, draco malfoy (not really tho), donald trump, Lucius malfoy

You two perfectly embody the Lady Noir pairing, at least the more positive aspects of it.

For those of you trying to think of a blonde villain: Harley Quinn, Emma Frost, and Spike (from Buffy the Vampire Slayer) all come to mind Thank you for your time

[@lynwhite8606]

There's the white witch from Narnia, Rachel McAdams from Mean Girls, or Draco from Harry Potter. There are more blonde female villains than males.

[@MatsuyoRific]

Harley Quinn is blond. Also, Chat Noir wears mostly black, which is usually associated with villainy.

I wasn't expecting a musical but man was it good.

Because the movie was written by the other half of the partner ship that got into and it was supposed to be released 3 years ago but covid stopped production for a while.
