i really hope Luka becomes Adrien’s Alya (where he helps Adrien make excuses to transform and such). it would be a big twist to the fans considering we wanted Nino to know Adrien’s identity and be his Alya (his reveal in Rocketear, though, no). i find it comforting at the thought of Luka helping Adrien and maybe even letting Adrien find his feelings for Marinette

That sounds pretty cute, but I don't think Thomas is smart enough to do that.

[@bellabriscall2287]

For me, as a teenager Marinette and Adrian’s age, I really loved the theme of wishmaker, not knowing what you want to be when you are older is something everyone my age worries about, and showing the characters in the show struggling with the same question made them a lot more relatable and fleshed out.

[@melisveziroglu3542]

Yes I agree. I am 15 years old so I have to start thinking about what I want to be and it's really hard. I also don't think Marinette's indecision was out of character because it's actually very relatable even though I didn't expect it at first.

[@pixieni2072]

In my school you have to pick what you're going to see in a career school at the age of 14 (8th grade) at 12 (6th grade) you have to take a career class also if these don't say much you pick to go to the career school or stay in the normal school at 16 (highschool year after freshman (I'm just going into freshman) for the next year or for when your 17 (year before senior cause ye) so yeah the school stretches it super long even though you probably forgot the tour at 8th grade and what you picked to see at 8th grade because I had to deal with covid so my class didn't get to tour the school so now we picked the places to tour at 16 or never

[@soscarlettitwasss]

Same. I'm 14 (soon to be 15 in 2 months) and I am literally so confused about what I really wanna do in the future. I'm somewhat in between Mari and Adrien, having interest in various activities and not knowing what to actually do. Idek if I'll go for something from the choices I have rn. They were really relatable in this episode

[@silversunset]

I’m in high school. Future careers gets brought up a lot and everyone seems to be on different levels of readiness. Some have their whole life planned out even to university and beyond; knowing exactly which schools and fields to go into. Some have a clear dream they want to pursue. Others are unsure but have a few interests, while the rest have no clue what to do. It’s really a mixed bag. I want to be an animator, but there are so many other interests I have and want to do. Director, cinematographer, artist, musician, editor, author, VFX artist, illustrator, screenwriter etc. I related with Marinette wanting to do it all.

[@Caamriea]

@@soscarlettitwasss I am 13 turning 14 this year. I've wanted to be an artist for so long and there are so many types, drawing, photographer, graphic design and even barista. I want to do it all, but at the same time I have no idea what to do.

[@lilymadkins3558]

First isn't it pretty concerning how Chat Noir never made a SINGLE joke the entire episode despite all the funny events that happened??? Ouch what are they doing to him? I also really loved how Ladybug tried guessing Chat Noir's childhood dream. It shows her true perception of him. She sees him as someone super selfless and courageous who'd risk his own life to save others like a firefighter. And as someone goofy and playful like magician. As for Marinette's indecisiveness, it made sense to me. It's a nice contrast with Adrien who doesn't have a clue about what he wants to do for himself while Marinette is confused because she wants to DO IT ALL. They truly are opposites. And I am not really sure if it's out of character for Chat Noir. He just got distracted and sad at the wrong time. With how much this season have been traumatising him, I personally don't blame him at all. Other than that, I am really scared for Luka. Yeah I know he had "good intentions" for lying but what he did was still wrong. He's the only one in the current timeline who knows the identity of both Ladybug and Chat Noir. The next time he gets akumatised, it's game over for everyone. Especially since he hasn't proved he can break out of akumatision like Alya or even has an anti-akumatision charm. This reveal is definitely gonna have serious consequences.

[@yaradoom7605]

Yeah but maybe luka would be cat noir’s partner

[@lilymadkins3558]

@@yaradoom7605 That would be great but I highly doubt it. Not only because Adrien and Luka aren't very close friends in general but also because Adrien and Marinette are different characters so it wouldn't make sense for Adrien to have confidant like Marinette did since his character arc for this season has largely been about isolation. Plus if Adrien were to get a confidant, it should be Nino in my opinion. It will be nice development for him from Rocketear where he's shown to be bad at keeping secrets.

[@quietopinion9637]

​@@lilymadkins3558 Agreed Nino needs that development alongside Alya, though that depends whether Adrien will trust Nino after he exposed him and Alya so blatantly. I do think Adrien and Marinette will get closer this season tbh but not romantically.

[@KavinCatastrophe]

@@lilymadkins3558 Nino had Proven he Can't keep a Secret. If Adrien going to have a Friend to talk to about Catnoir it might be Luka.

[@lilymadkins3558]

@@KavinCatastrophe That's exactly why I think will be great for Nino to get character development in that way. He has to grow at some point right? This can easily be a good opportunity for him. Plus Nino was Adrien's friend since season 1 meanwhile Luka and Adrien had like 2 interactions lasting 30 seconds in the entirety of 4 seasons and more than 80 episodes. Luka being Adrien's confidant just wouldn't have the same impact storywise. Not sure if Luka knows where even Adrien's house is.

Everything that's happening with Adrien rn is really setting up for his character arc. It may seem out of character to let Wishmaker hit him but how do we know it's out of character? We've never seen him this down/depressed before. For the first time we are seeing him crumble, and understandably, he isn't handling it very well. So I disagree that letting Wishmaker hit him was out of character. It was not a good decision of course, but his mental state outweighed his critical thinking at that moment. We are seeing a new side of Adrien, that's all.

[@toogayforyourdrama4606]

exactly thank you at least someone understands. This is all building up for some MAJOR character development. Because if you recall for the past three seasons we've seen a lot of Adrien but never really gone into his problems in detail. People think he's getting less screen time because Thomas hates him or something but they don't realise that this is the most we've seen of Adrien's personal life. In the first three seasons he was just this perfect guy who had a bit of problems which we never got to see how he dealt with. In season 4 we are moving past that and seeing how he deals with his problems and they are REALLY adressing his problems in this season. I'm living for it.

[@stockholmstyles]

@@toogayforyourdrama4606 Yes exactly!!

[@MiiChanx]

The issue is the episodes are aired out of order, so we see this flip-flop between Adrien's development, where in reality, if watched in the right order, it makes perfect sense. But people refuse to acknowledge this and think he's being "pushed aside" or that the writers hate him, lmao. If the writers and Thomas really were fine with Adrien/Chat being left out, they wouldn't make a point to have him react badly; they wouldn't show that he's sad, or depressed, or angry. They'd just keep him bubbly and upbeat as always and act like nothing is wrong. But they aren't. So clearly it's a set up for something big later on.

when Luka says "Dad crocodiles should know how to swim" was just so funny to me for some reason. I feel like Adrien's non dream (I wanna be what my parents wants me to be), is just Adrien saying that he wants to be surrounded by a good family. I can see Adrien growing up to be a great parent or even a teacher.

[@storymaster164]

I think Luka, knowing both Ladubug and Chat Noirs identities is the next huge step forwarding the plot since Alya becoming Marinettes confidant and second in command. And I am all for it. Luka is like my third favorite character in the whole series after Alya herself and Nino.

[@smg3250]

Hey, friend. Kind of unrelated to your comment but have you noticed a change in Nino's voice? Like he used to have a stereotypical surfer dude accent and now it's kind of the same as every other character. Like the actor didn't change, but the accent did. It's been bugging me. 😅😅 Sorry if this is weird.

[@storymaster164]

@@smg3250 I think that might have something to do with the changes in the production for season 4. they might have wanted to take things in a different direction so some minor changes were made all over. That might also be why the transformation music is different, why Julia is mumbling instead of using complete sentences, and some actors changed their voices for the characters portrayals. I myself have noticed Marinettes voice actress has lowered he pitch so Marinette sounds older than previous seasons, which she is I suppose. That could also be an explanation for it is that the characters are growing up so they mature a bit more as time goes on.

[@reubenmanzo2054]

Unforgiveable plot hole #6: abandoned subplot.

Its really strange how they aren't trying to find and stop Shadowmoth. They just keep playing defense.

It’s interesting how different Hawkmoth’s reactions are to Adrien’s identity. In Cat Blanc he’s immediately excited, but in Wishmaker he’s almost shocked….and horrified?? It’s pretty interesting to me. And also Gabriel was a brunette what??? Also I hope the eye switch between Gabriel and Emilie is more than an animation error given how Emilie’s eye colour is always emphasised as the same green as Adrien’s but it’s GABRIEL with the green eyes.

[@ana8621]

[@milkpuffs465]

That’s on inconsistent writing

[@mmymmy315]

it's like anderson cooper; the hair just went silver lol. But yeah the eye thing is an annoying inconsistency

[@vuivraalbastra]

It's almost like there is a difference between writing the story in accordance with the characters' personalities and backstories and writing the story just to make a point and seeing characters just as plot devices. I think Gabriel's reaction in Cat Blanc was ridiculous, even an abusive father like him would take a second to process things and be confused before trying to akumatize his son. Gabriel doesn't see his son as a toy or a tool, he does care for Adrien and does what he thinks it's best for his son. Does that make him a good father? Obviously not. I'm just saying that realizing that he was fighting his own son the whole time and that he didn't figure it out despite living in the same house (and realizing how easy would have been to take the miraculous ring) would lead to much more complex emotions than "what a great opportunity, time to akumatize him!"

[@SetoShadowVT]

It really shows how different the Timeline/or Universe Cat Blanc was like for that version of Gabriel. He didn't care that his son was his greatest enemy and wanted to use that to his advantage. Hell when he found that Marinette was his son's girlfriend in that Universe, he wanted to make his son go threw absolute HELL something not even the main timeline version of Gabriel wanted to do. Sure he used Lyla to try and ruin Marinette's reputation in the main timeline but only because of information she was giving Gabriel but obvious that got stopped, the main timeline Gabriel may be evil but he's not Cat Blanc evil atleast as far as we know until he fully finds out who Lady Bug and Cat Noir are without time travel which giving to what the creator of the show has revealed, Gabriel will get the Miraculous in Season 4 and obviously will know who Ladybug and Cat Noir know for real .

[@silent_cipher9308]

I just want to counter what you said for marinette. I think it's perfectly realistic for her to be indecisive. Yes, shes got some recognition for her designs but marinette has other interests that shes never tried yet. She doesnt want to make the wrong decision and "ruin" the rest of her life. She is acting like how I'm acting at the moment. So yes, it is realistic.

[@vuivraalbastra]

I completely agree. I have lots of talents and passions but choosing a career path feels impossible. I want to use all my talents but I don't think I have the time to get good enough at all of them so it's like giving up on some of my passions. And my main hobby and talent is writing stories and I'd like to be a writer one day, but you can't earn enough from writing alone unless you get very lucky like J.K. Rowling for example, so I still need to prepare for a job that doesn't interest me as much, but that would earn me enough money. It feels complicated... I always envied people like my ex who knew he wants to be a programmer since middle school and only focused on that since then, so Marinette's struggle in this episode made me feel better and less ridiculous about my own struggle.

[@evelyn2420]

[@mikoevelynn111]

"She doesn't want to make the wrong decision and "ruin" the rest of her life" Kind of showing the effect of being Ladybug in a way. Ladybug needs to make the right plan and decision to unakumatize the victim and purify the akuma.

But didn't marinette want to be a fashion designer? I don't think she wants to be a baker. What other career paths is she even interested in? I know she likes drawing and crafting stuff but I thought she was set on being a fashion designer.

[@smartcookie1806]

11:35 I mean, he ain’t wrong though. That’s probably the perfect way to describe Adrien and Marinette’s characters through using the weirdest analogy possible. I personally don’t think that Chat hesitating to remain alert is out of character for him either. I think that throughout the whole episode, we saw how tormented he was over his desires in life and how he felt like he knew nothing about his wishes for the future, and this could tie into how he also felt distress about not having knowledge of even what he wanted to be in the past. This poor boy’s mental state was kind of a mess in this episode, so I think it makes sense that he slightly lowered his arms when Wishmaker offered him the chance to view his childhood dream. His head was so cluttered with doubts about who he truly was to the point where he couldn’t even remember that he was supposed to be fighting.

Adrien had always wanted his parents love and approval even since he was a child. After Chat Noir gets hit by Wishmaker and turns to Adrien, he says something along the lines of “I just wanted to be what my parents wanted me to be!” And then the NEXT line in the script, Shadowmoth says “My son!”. I have a feeling the writers did this on purpose. He also didn’t change to anyone but himself, meaning he wants his parents to support him being himself.

[@sebaschan-uwu]

He could have also appeared as just his normal self because as a kid he didn't know what his parents wanted him to be yet. Now he knows that his dad wants him to be a model I guess. Otherwise he would have probably shown up in his usual model outfit.

Kids naturally want their parents love. And in a kid's mind, they get their parent's love by making them happy, which is usually by "being what they want them to be" because parents always expect a lot from their kids. Most of the time the parents just want their kids to be a good person, so its ok for the kid to want to be it for no other reason than because the parent wants it. But if the parent is like gabriel who just uses his son for modeling and seems to not care about him otherwise, then the child will want to "make the parent happy" by going along with the abusive behavior.

[@Oriaks]

Marinette is still a teenager. Being indecisive about your future is perfectly normal in her age. Also it has been shown that her mind, for lack of a better word, has no breaks. It's been shown multiple times that she has a tendency to overthink things. For example in "Stormy Weather", where simple plan to ask Adrien out after a photo shoot turns into a tangent about them marrying, having three kids and a hamster. She was pretty confident about her future, until Kwamis started bringing up all of things she's done (trying to guess her "career") and her mind just run with it until she panicked. As for Alec, he was like that from very beginning, the very first episode, to be precise. I guess he simply never thought about it.

[@xesahu9572]

To be completely honest. I really liked the part when Luka started talking about their inner melodies because Adrien's one reminded me of the time when he was told to practice his sad classical music, and then Plagg played a rock 'n' roll duet with him to cheer him up. Exactly what my man Luka said. hell yea :>

You know what makes this episode great? The characters don’t interact because of some love triangle bullshit. They interact as friends and it does feel genuine.

something that really hit hard in this episode was the whole career theme, FINALLY something which a lot of teenagers like myself struggle with. seeing people get so determined about what they want to be literally scares me, i'm still unsure about my future and what classes i need to take since i'm planning to have a career in law. by some coincidence, my group of friends had a chat about what we were planning to do as our jobs just the night before wishmaker was released. it felt surreal, but it definitely painted one of our fears as teens. anyways, i LOVE this episode so much, everything was perfection! each character seemed to have a different backstory, the humour was amazing (felt like a fever dream, with jagged becoming a crocodile and mr. banana turning into a cucumber lol), and the villain was actually pretty cool from designs and powers and all. honestly, luka really carried the whole episode, gotta salute him for possibly being my new favourite character. p.s. anyone gonna talk about how gabe actually looked good when he was younger-

“Why is everything music to you? Do you have any other interests?” No because the writers do not know what to do with him which is a shame because he is a good character.

I love plaag more now ad the season progresses. I rewatched hero’s day and saw the scene where he split his cheese with Adrien because he needed his strength. Tikki did not do that. In wishmaker, plaag tried helping him and told him they can work together in whatever Adrien chooses. What a real friend. Also rewatching the show, alec was not this bad at mocking people. He was nice a couple of times. I do not know why he was this mean. I am glad Adrien comolained a out all the miraculouses being distributed. It means rocketear and the episodes hold weight. This episode was someone tripping on acid especially banana man turning into a cucumber. I am glad that Luka knows their identities. I think he can be trusted with a secret like that. I also like how sad he felt when he found out about Adrien. I interpreted it as he has been through a lot especially with his father and the poor sap gets beaten up as cat noir. I think Luka just felt like the audience. The poor guy. His reaction to Marionette was priceless. He now understood why she had to leave their dates and why she could not tell him the truth. Then alec as a drag queen. I am not making fun of it. I love it. If the writers did not stereotype the different groups, alec could be some new and fun representation.

[@LabibAhmad-yv2jy]

I usually dont like miraculous episodes anymore cuz they are really unbalanced in terms of character development and screen time but I think this is one of the very few season 4 episodes where every character got good amount of screen time. no where it felt like they were stretching out the character screen time, they were all given good screen time and important. usually they only focus on marinette/Ladybug and her being the main hero of the day, but this one, she still did get more screen time compared to other characters but it all felt natural, as if she needed that screen time. she didnt feel forced but rather natural. Usually im begging for an episode where marinette/ladybug is not the main focus cuz she always is, after this ep, I have chnaged my opinion. I still believe they give marinette way too much focus overall, to a point where it just feels unnecessary and forced screen time when it could have been given to others, but after watching this ep I think even if they dont take marinette/ladybug comepletey out of the ep, the epsodes can still be great only if they divide the screentime wisely like in this one. I didnt feel like she was given too much focuz, but just the right amount and so were the other characters. there were no unneccesary charaters, all characters introduced in the ep were important and played a role in the episodes plot, rather then having her other random frnds in there for 5 mins when they dont do anything. other characters were just there at the start and no uneeded time was given to them since they wont play any role in episodes plot. that was wise in my opinion. they dont have to give her more screentime only cuz shes gaurdian cuz many times the screen time just feels unneccesary and pointless, if thats how your characters screen time is then just dont give them that extra screen time. Giving one more screen time doesnt always work, and it doesnt for marinette in my opinion ONLY cuz shes a guadrian. By far rocketear was my favourite ep of season 4 and this is my 2nd favourite. hopefully they make more eps that equally focus on all characters. its eps like this that still make me wanna watch this show. overall , Lovely ep, I like how luka know both of their identities tho he chose to lie about it, so im curious what would become of him having this info. cant wait for future eps.

And I love Luka knows that the identities now but I wish he didn't lie to Ladybug but I still like the episode also Alec looked cool when he was a villain I loved his costume it was so cool. It was shocking that Adrien was shown as a baby when Wishmaker hit him and when he was revealed he didn't move that part was weird.

Personally, I think Cat noir letting wishmaker hit him is understandable considering what’s happened in season 4 up till now. He’s been neglected by Ladybug, lost a close friend in Kagami, got Nino his best friend akumatized and to top it all off he can’t even remember his childhood dream. That’s really tough for Adrien so I understand why he acted the way he did.

[@UUUU-dn9wz]

Idk if I like this episode. Sure it’s extremely relevant to the plot but Luka knowing both of their identities makes him an easy way of preventing chat noir from snapping in later episodes. Knowing that someone actually knows chat noir identity makes the later episodes build up that we have already much less relevant. I kinda hope that we can get an arch where Luka struggles to keep their identities a secret and somehow ends up at least forgetting chat noir’s. Imho the episode would have been perfect if he only knew Ladybug identity. We’ll see how the story will go anyway

I liked this episode a lot but it reminded me of the kind of stuff that left me with a bad taste after Chat Blanc. Both of them are great for the work they do towards characterizing the people in the show; but, just like in Chat Blanc the only real thing that changed between the start of the episode and the end was that someone learned something they didn't know before. (At least with Wishmaker the career fair still happended) I'm really worried about how they're going to follow it up because I that's the most important part. Chat Blanc seemed to have only be referenced once (in Sentibubbler) since that episode aired and while you could argue it's been affecting Marinette's behavior anyway I don't think I could let the same slide with Luka. If this episode is to mean anything then he's going to need to take some action as a result. While I can hope they'll do just that, the shows history makes me all to anxious about it.

Why does everyone keep giving Adrien's mom so much backlash? Also, Luka should probably get his dad over to stop Adrien from leaving Paris for a week with Lila to help Marinette without any of them knowing that he knows who they are and Alya should get some dirt on her too since she knows her best friend is Ladybug and should realize that Lila lies about having connections with people as well like Ladybug (her best friend), Prince Ali, and Jagged Stone who she learned is Luka and Juleka's dad seriously does nobody do anything about if they know she lied about having personal connections with those people?

Of all the things that specific person had dreamed of, why one earth did the power pick 'cucumber'?

I get the feeling that they are making Cat Noir sadder and sadder each episode to lead to a point where maybe he gives up on being Cat Noir and renounces Plagg. Cue Ladybug having a freak out that she doesn't know who he really is and will never find him, and finally realises her feelings. Then bumping into Luka who sees she's sad, finds out why and then thinks it's a good time to come clean about what he learnt from Wishmaker, telling her Cat Noir is Adrien. Then she goes to him only to find daddy Agreste has come clean to his son and is trying to win him over. I must say though I'd love to have an ep where Alya lays into Adrien about the moves he's been making on Marinette, how it's messing with her emotions, and slaps some sense into the blind boy.
