I have.... No idea why they would trust Lila. Seriously, do NONE of them remember what she did to Marinette? I wouldn't trust someone who literally almost got a friend expelled all because of her lies. Like, seriously?

The problem with the Alya and Lila stuff is that one of the lies Lila told was that she was BFFs with Ladybug. Alya should realise that's bullshit (for obvius reasons) and thus Lila can't be trusted.

In terms of Alya's relationship with Lila: I think a big problem some people have is that Alya now knows Ladybug's identity, which means it's obvious to her that Lila lied about being friends with Ladybug. I completely get that Lila needs to be able to manipulate people successfully, but for Alya specifically to still be fooled at this stage makes her seem incredibly dumb

Every time Gabe comes up with a good plan, Marinette's plot armour kicks in. What are you supposed to do when the universe is against you

I’ve been loving the new writing style on the episodes recently. It feels like they really decided that every episode would have a major (or even season-changing) event. As much as the last week gave me heart attacks, it was because the episodes were good instead of just being filler

I still cant justify how Alya still trust Lila. Forget about her knowing Lila lied about being bff with LB, Lila is the reason Marinette got expelled momentarily. Girl, your bff got expelled bcs of her! Hello? You okay there?! Also, the audacity Nino had to force his bff to get his own dad akumatized? Dude, thats messed up, even if Gabe is messed up, thats messed up. Why not try with Chloe first? She's an easy prey too, and she hates everyone by default, so pissing her off won't change a thing

3:47 I can imagine this being a trauma that Gabriel himself would have caused Adrien if they had the courage to explore this in the show, Adrien would have stopped saying that his mother is gone/dead because his father would explode with rage just like in the episode Félix, he would definitely do the same thing the first time Adrien said something about Emilie being dead and the poor boy would have to get used to saying she disappeared just to not piss off his father again...

It's episodes like this that make me wish this show had more villains. And I don't mean the villains that Gabriel creates, I mean villains that aren't working for Gabriel and act on their own like Felix. I say this because it's hard to make your main villain come off as a threat when he's losing in every single episode.

This entire episode I was in SHOCK of how manipulative and cruel Gabriel was being to Adrien. I mean, it's not that surprising, but this much in one episode? Felt like textbook manipulation. And I feel like nobody else has mentioned all this, so it's like, is it just me? Am I reading too much into this? Yeah, maybe. But like, first off, yeah, that scene at the beginning where he's like, "Oh, you don't like it now? Well, if it's that terrible for you, we can go back to the super awful time when you were miserable. Y'know, your choice." And then there was the scene at the school, man. So unnecessary. Like I know he was playing the mad dad thing, but did he really need to yell at everyone that Adrien was never going to be allowed at school again? That is the thing that Adrien has wanted the most (besides his father's love) and Gabe KNOWS that, so to rip it away from him just because is so cruel. He could've just admonished his friends and yelled that they were going home, and that Adrien was grounded and such. He did not need to take school away from him! And yeah, Adrien was in on it too, and he probably wanted to punish him, but still. That is so overkill and cruel. And then in the car. Adrien had finally been getting the love and attention he'd always wanted from his father at the beginning. Even Gabe letting him call him "Papa" was like, finally he was opening his heart to Adrien and then in the car, Gabriel angrily tells him to only call him father. That must've felt like a slap in the face. Adrien was probably terrified that he'd ruined everything and things were going to go back to the way things were and that he'd made his father not love him as much anymore. Like oh god, what a way to tell Adrien that "my love is conditional and if you do something wrong/make me mad, I won't love you as much anymore". And again, like I know he's mad and he's playing up the fact that he was mad, but that was SO UNNECESSARY. Like all he had to say was "Not now, Adrien." or "I don't want to hear it" or "You're in so much trouble when we get home" or SOMETHING. YOU DIDN'T NEED TO DO THAT TO YOUR SON, GABRIEL. And then when they get home, Gabriel plays the sh!t out of akumatizing himself, again just putting all the blame onto Adrien in that scene, not his friends or anything, like "oh those damn hooligans made a fool of me in public" NO, it was "oh I tried to be a good father, but that wasn't enough for him, he still acted out blah blah blah" like way to go out of your way to specifically make Adrien feel like sh!t and make him feel like the worst son ever for spilling food on his dad, god. So unnecessary and cruel. And then we're still not done, because even in Gabe's apology, he still sprinkles some good ol' manipulation in there. Gabe says something like "I lost control of my anger, but Ladybug made me realize I can't _give up on us."_ Give up? Implying that Gabriel was thinking about/going to give up on having a good relationship with his son. Give up. Like there was a big rift in their relationship, like things were broken, like things were too damaged to repair, like he had to put a lot of effort in to fix it. Basically making it out like Adrien had done this big, awful, terrible thing that was almost too much to work past. For spilling food on him. And yeah, he knows that Adrien meant to do it, but Gabriel wasn't supposed to know and also Adrien doesn't know that he knows so this is all just to dig that spike in a little deeper. Also the complete turn around for Gabe. In the last scene that Adrien saw "him" Gabriel was like destroying stuff, and now he's all like "its okay son that was nothing, that horrible thing you did, its fine we're friends again", like, how emotionally unstable of him. It's like lovebombing. One second it's all nice and everything is perfect and then the next Gabriel's screaming at him and making him feel like garbage. It's like you're hot then you're cold, you're yes then you're no, you're... Adrien is going to be terrified that when he does something wrong it's going to flip this switch and Gabe's gonna freak out on him. So... yeah. I know this is a kid's show, and this probably won't ever be really developed, but oh my god, the textbook manipulation and gaslighting. If this was in real life, Adrien would be terrified of ever doing something wrong or getting on his father's bad side, and then feel like HE was the horrible villain in all this for making his dad mad. He'd be constantly walking on eggshells. So yeah, good job, Gabe. Number 1 abusive, manipulative father in animation. Wow.

This season is 10x better than the others. There’s some things they could have done a bit differently, but I hope it keeps getting better :D

Gabriel should’ve gotten cat noir’s miraculous this episode fr. His plan was smart and he could’ve grabbed it while he was paralyzed he had time. Also I think he said he used the rooster miraculous to be able to wear all those miraculous without getting weak. Dude was on it this episode, but plot armor

About Adrien's mom being "dissaperead". I think that in kids tv shows they are not allowed to say words like "dead" or "deceased" so they need to say stuff like "dissapeared", "gone" or the classic "is he/she...you know....?"

I can feel it already this is going to be one of the best seasons of Miraculous Ladybug ever

I do like this episode as well. It proves that on a rare occasion, Gabe can have a good plan to throw the heroes off his trail. Some remarks: - The scene with Gabes suit getting spilled on was very Miraculous-like and hilarious. With Marinettes and Adriens horrible fake acting "Oops, I'm so sorry I spilled this food on your suit" and Alyas dry response, I was laughing way more then I should. - On the other hand, Gabes acting during the mirages akumatisation was also very bad and unrealistic. He was responding way too fast, making it very obvious he was faking it - About Alya and Lila: I do believe Alya should've been less accepting of Lila. Last time it was mentioned (I think somewhere in season 3), the problem was that Marinette couldn't prove to Alya that Lila was lying without revealing her identity. Now that Alya knows that Marinette is Ladybug, she should know at least that Lila doesn't always tell the truth and should be more careful around her.

I was kind of confused how Ladybug wasn't able to realize that Gabriel, in no way shape or form was wet, after supposedly falling into the sewer water

Sometimes I think the point of the plot armor is to emphasize just how lucky Ladybug is, so much so that you could call it miraculous, hence the name of the show Like, yea there are a bunch of times where Ladybug & Cat Noir genuinely outsmart Gabriel, but when Gabriel outsmarts them, that's when Ladybug's luck saves them, after all, Ladybugs are known to be lucky

If I remember correctly from the anime description ladybug represents luck and black cat - unluck. So I can guess that ladybug's secondary power is luck, like Domino, and she sucks the luck from her life of Marinette, that's why her stupid plans of LB always work, and her complex plans as Mari always fail.

It's honestly ridiculous that Gabriel hasn't gotten the miraculous he had God tier power and failed smh

11:14 lol I laughed so much when Alya didn’t even try to hide that she did it on purpose 😂

episode 4 was Marinette deciding to NOT wear an alliance, and as she didn’t warn Chat Noire we needed an episode dealing with how Adrien feels about the alliance and a plausible reason for him NOT to wear one because if he did Gabe would quickly discover Chat’s identity and we’d be at the finale. Determination IS the ‘aw crap i love them now’ moment for the love square flip- it’s been slowly happening since season 3 and now it’s more and more official as Adrien and Marinette accept and lean into those feelings instead of living in denial. Episode 1 had to axe the bunny miraculous, episode two showed how gabe is going to use the miraculous now and shift focus from felix, episode 3 had to fill in the plot hole of gabe not immediately finding out ladybugs identity, then we have to make sure our heroes don’t have an alliance and know what the other former heroes are doing. It’s all been set up and filling in plot holes. It’s 6 episodes in that enough has been covered that we can get to the juicy love square flip and more kwami lore and long term monarch and ladybug plans.

Gabriel deserves an Oscar for his acting and an emmy for his plan it seem so good that without that cheesy lucky charm or rats he would have both the miraculous. And he still got away with his secret identity.

The plot armor bit though. The only time the Lucky Charm backfired on her was during the Risk arc. The charm gave her a train ticket which she immediately thought off Adrien as help, however, she is under the effects of Risk which prevents her from knowing if that's the real Adrien or not. I feel like the Lucky Charm always seem to know the item she needs but needs her to think off how to use it.

The funniest scene was Gabriel casually backing off right into the sewege, lol.

Honestly, this episode is one of my favorites for s5. I just love how for every episode they pull out a new idea Something that could actually bring forth ladybug and cat noir's defeat, but by some chance, they end up winning

I think Gabriel is taking a pretty big risk with the alliance rings. After a few more akumatizations, the heroes could realize that the one thing the victims have in common is the ring which would point directly to Gabriel.

I feel like Alyah should be much more weary of Lila now because when Lila was introduced she said she was a ladybugs best friend but Alya knows that that's not true because she knows who ladybug is so if she's lying about that what else is she lying about

I’d like to mention that the reason Gabe can control 5 miraculous is because he turned them into rings so when he unifies then he gets fewer physical draw backs

I think Ladybug's lucky plot armor makes complete sense. If anything, Gabe will have to figure out a way to give her bad luck in order to win.

I wish we saw Gabe react to them messing his all white drip suit without him knowing the plan. He would have freaked 😂😭

Tbh I have a bit of a theory as to why Gabe is being nice to Adrien and it's pretty straight forward ; he knows he's gonna die so he wants to leave Adrien with good memories of him if he does , and wants Adrien to accept and agree to his plan to save his mother when ; as he believes , he'll ultimately get the meraculous of Ladybug and Catnoir as to manipulate Adrien , though he does love Adrien to a degree , or atleast that's my theory anyhow

If Felix can create a Sentimonster that lets him snap away anyone, then Gabe should have been to create a Sentimonster that gives him plot armor, but he didn't because he's taking the hardest route.

I mean, Adrien said multiple times in previous episodes and seasons that the way Gabriel was acting in this episode is how he used to be before the series started. And we got hints of that behavior throughout the series, but most fans dubbed that behavior as manipulation from Gabriel. It is 100% canon now that Gabriel truly does care about Adrien, but became distant and abusive in an effort to restore his family. Gabriel assumed that Adrien was mourning because he himself was still mourning. While I don’t approve of Gabriel becoming abusive for 2-3 years, it is nice to know that said abusive nature is slowly fading away and we get to see what Gabriel is really like without his actions being influenced by his mourning. It’s also always great to see Gabriel being motivated by family instead of just power.

I really like the fact that all of the Collector apparence is alway use to deceave the heroes.

I love miraculous but my god it has its quirks and your reviews make it so much better 😂😂

This episode was so sad for Adrien though and what an abusive jerk Gabriel is. Even Gabe was being nice in the kitchen Adrien had this undercurrent of being kind of scared. And then he was in the cafeteria and got excited he could eat whatever he wanted (and he chose a salad). I was screaaming when Nino decided to piss off Gabe because sure lets anger the abusive father of your best friend how could that go wrong. And then he had the audacity to make adrien be one to spill something on his own dad. And afterwards his friends were like oh aren't you annoyed to Gabriel and Adrien instantly went to "aren't you absolutely furious?" because that's what he's used to. He wasn't even surprised when he got pulled from school for it. Even in the end when Gabriel hugged Adrien- everytime Adrien gets a hug he looks so touch starved and surprised. Anyway Gabriel is an abusive prick!! I know that this is a kids movie and in the end everything he's done to Adrien is going to be brushed over when he sees the error of his ways and apologizes. I just hate the message that it will send to forgive abusers if they apologize.

My issue with Alya and Lila isn't even with either of them. My issue is that Marinette, now having told Alya that she's Ladybug and could very well tell her the exact details of the episode Volpina, has not told her best friend the reason WHY she knows for certain that Lila is a liar. That part is what frustrates me. There's no reason not to tell Alya. She already knows Marinette has done crazy things for Adrien so it wouldn't change her view on her best friend anyway.

I love this new studio who are helping artage with the lighting, it nearly had me fooled as a SAMG episode! I hope from onwards we get more of this and less of that weird pink bloom filter they were using previously

Those Alliance Rings sort of reminds me of those Goode VR Goggles from Young Justice Season 3. You know because they're a cool new gadget that people would want but was created by the villains for some evil purpose.

After the first season (in which Monarch was consistently making a point of only recruiting proven loosers and being surprised when they, true to form, lost), Hawkmoth started having some pretty good gambits and the heroes several times won purely by luck and plot armour. Sometimes, the villain was litterally just a tenth of a hundredth of a second away from removing Cat Noir's ring when deus ex plot armour turned the tables. And as Shadow Moth, he really started bringing the heat. Of course, he deserves every bit of smack he is getting after opting for evil when he is a mere nano-second away from undoing his entire motivation for villany. I mean...he could have just dropped that flash drive before taking the miracle box. He had his hand already through the portal, the drive dangling between two fingers. And he didn't drop it before turning for the box? For that alone, he deserves to loose in the most humiliating and public way possible. Damn right, his assistant no longer loves him.

I really enjoyed this episode and was surprised at how much I enjoyed the characters interactions and the fact Nino was actually taking matters into his own hands when it came to helping Ladybug and Cat Noir in there struggle against Monarch despite his short comings he's ultimately a good hero and the hate he gets makes zero sense

This season is so charming and feels like all of the pieces falling into place. It sucks that it took so long for them to get organized, but…

This type of episode especially between the main 4 is something we should’ve been had since like s2-3

Isn't that just the greatest tell that the two MCs are horrible Miraculous holders? They needed 5 seasons and a parttimers help to actually get active in going against Monarch? All they have been doing so far was giving Monarch chance after chance by never even trying to be anything but reactive so that he can by default succeed eventually if it wasn't for the shows plotarmor? They are completely passive teenagers waiting for the adult villain to guide the way to certain doom, if he was in any way competent, it would have just been aatter of time.

this episode was not bad. I liked that adrien was excited about eating that dry salad. Nino should have just bullied the mayor out of all the people the mayor is more corrupt and he is easy to make angry. But gabriel legit had this won surprised he didn't take chat noirs miraculous when he was paralyzed tho lol.

Lila’s running animation is bad and I love it

Look at Gabe being kinda smart now Makes tech to track people to see if he can find them, same tech saves him from having to risk losing miraculous Surprised he hasn't used the snake miraculous yet, maybe a little smooth brain still around 🤷‍♂️

Illusion didn't fool me into not liking this episode because THIS was what I was wanting to see from the early episodes of S5 that we needed to see. Nino is actually working on how to figure out these moves of Monarch and also who he really is and though he can't truly ever be trusted with a legitimate secret, the fact that he's slowly building a means of a resistance against Monarch and fully diving into this detective mode of his is very much needed, but with Lila now in the mix, it's gunna be 2 steps forward, but 4 steps back for them. Gabriel having this ingenious plan was pretty incredible and it would've actually worked had that Lucky Charm not bail Ladybug out and the faux lightning special effect to throw off the trail of what's giving the akumatized villains their Miraculous powers is another smart feat in the mind of Gabriel to throw off the trail of him ever being considered a person of interest in being discovered as Monarch. I do hope that we can see more of this discovering of the truth in the next few episodes to come out and again, BALANCE this with the Reverse Love Square so that both can have the same endpoint and meet up to cement a grand finale to the run of Gabriel as HawkMoth, ShadowMoth and Monarch and even have Lila, yes LILA as the new bearer of the Butterfly Miraculous. I would give this episode a 8/10

The whole Alya thing stems from the fact Alya now knows who Ladybug is and should've realized that Lila lied to her about being BFF with Ladybug considering how Marinette has acted around her and saying she's a liar and all that. But I do understand from Alya's perspective Marinette has done some crazy stuff regarding Adrien and especially after the events in Ladybug, season 4 and the finale she's more worried about Marinette more so than ever. But at the same time this is one of Alya's character flaws where she has a fixed minded view of the world and has black and white perspective of everything, I'm pretty sure she'll figure out that Lila is a liar if Marinette literally says says it to her face about the whole situation but until then we'll have to see what kind of situation and drama will happen. Over all I liked this episode and my favorite part is definitely Marinette, Adrien, and Alya trowing food at Gabe and if I'm being honest I would've thrown it at his face 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.

I feel like the resistance might backfire in one swoop, given lila is there to entrap all. Either that or mari or adrien making another double standard move becaise astruc said so.

They made monarch so powerful, using five at a time with no drawbacks he built different. Like it's insane he also using the miraculouses smart

The ending were Gabriel is talking to Kagami’s mother has me wondering. I know she helped him make this stuff but how far invested is she? Does she know Gabriel is Monarch? Is she evil now too? What does she want from all this?

I think you're forgetting the time when Lila framed marinette and alya defended her friend so of course she shouldn't fall for lila's schemes! Also, you know that the lucky charm pretty much solves ever situation

Hawkmoth manipulation skills are on full in that scene. I am like this man so evil and cold. Was very entertaining and also makes you wish gabe would just be nice and give him a normal life with his dad but nah got to scheme

OH MY GOD THIS SHOW WOULD BE SO GOOD IF WE HAD LIKE TWO “OH SHT” EPISODES!! One between Determination and Passion And one between Elation and the upcoming Transmission- Feelings are changing SO QUICKLY! If the creators put a bit more effort into the show it would be so INSANELY popular. Such a good plot! Not the BEST execution… Maybe this’ll change when Thomas’s contract expires at the end of the season..? PLEASE

2:34 Not to mention that in Jubilation if you pay attention to one of the scenes you can see that Adrien's digital model can be left with just his *nderwear...why Gabriel?

"Shredded Cheese?" "Plagg would be happy"

Can't wait for the Elation review 👀

3:47 Probably because of the kids watching the show, but I think seeing Emilie's body hidden in the basement must have been pretty shocking, no matter if they said she's really d*ad or not 😅

I hadn't realized we had gotten so many episodes. I've been sticking with the English dub and didn't know there were three other episodes out. To me the last episode before this had been Jubilation. Still at least I'm able to watch them in order, but I wasn't expecting a spoiler for Determination.

Honestly. I hope it does become their permanent relationship after Marinette uses her Miraculous Ladybugs to fix his arm, and cure Nathalie of her illness to win their approvals and acceptances of her after she and Adrien learn of their identities, become their future allies for the next few seasons moving forward, and Gabriel remarrying to get his life back together again

I sort of figured that Alya being the rational one would probably still make an effort to stay on Lila's good side, like how she did in moments before finding out Marinette was Ladybug. We know full well that Marinette being outwardly against Lila is a detrimental move, while keeping up appearances of being fooled would be more strategic.

Monarch: I can use up to five Miraculous now! ...How? Not a few episodes ago, you were struggling to Multiple Miraculous. What? Does changing the Miraculous shape come with a power up as well?

I miss Chloe! Next to Chat Noir she’s the best character

It’s so sudden that I thought that Gabriel made a sentimonster that looks like him doing all those stuff in the beginning of the episode since he never does that but I stopped thinking that after he said that Adrien couldn’t go to school anymore and was getting all abusive again because if it was a sentimonster then I don’t think he would make the sentimonster do that and besides,Felix has the peacock miraculous but I’m still suspicious because in one of the trailers like for Passion it shows Natalie pin him down or something like that so she’s probably like you never do that,regardless even if it was a sentimonster like I thought I still hate him and nothing will change that because cat blanc is when I started hating him 100% and I’m not ever going to forgive him and I’ll never like him,still curious why he is randomly being nice to him and of what Natile says

I honestly think the episode would be a million times better if the banana was the one in charge of the panel show

In Evolution Gab was able to fuse up to 6 miraculous together and still function. it was when he used 7 that He did himself in. Thus that's His hard limit on powers. no more then 6. It's also possible that the Rings might allow Him to use those powers more safely. As they dont actually contain the power until He takes it. Where as Before, The jewelry contained the kwami and powers regardless of If He had them activated or not and just wearing all of those drains the user, as marinette proved in Kwamibuster. She only had one power active, but all the miraculous equipped and She nearly passed out.

Now knowing how the season ends I think I do prefer the idea of Gabe being a good dad from the beginning so that his redemption feels earned

14:56 Alya is REALLY enjoying Marinette/Ladybug's hypocrisy here

How does Alya not realize that Lila is a liar when she clearly knows that Merinette is Ladybug and knows that she hates Lila so how is she still believing Lila's lies

Great job glad your still going thanks for being awsome

I wonder how is the school security so bad that a mob of Adrien fanboys get in just cuz of a picture of Adrien gets posted on social media. Also Miss Bustier finally looks pregnant

One thing that stood out to me in the scene with Marinette and Alya talking it shows that Marinette still isn't convinced about the cool factor of the Alliance and since she refused to take the ring from her mom it shows she doesn't like it, and still prefers the phone, as Alya is ok with having an Alliance ring.. we know that's how the power is transferred but they don't... But my concern with recording the fact of how the recording is monitored and recorded, and then bounced over to Gabe, as shown in the prior episode with the friend who looks like Marinette (forgive me I forgot the name)

The episodes are airing in order for now in the US

I just wonder how tf gabe has not got it that his son is cat noir when the rings legit have a built in AirTag, where he can track Adrien with 24/7. Like when he is like okay bro is my son at the fencing lesson rn and then notices wtf Adrien is right at the fcking spot where the heroes fight Gabe's acumatized villain and moves really really fast, like how suspish can you get? Surely this example would have happened in some episode like Adrien has Fencing, Mandarin, School, home time where he learns piano or just chills out, his whole day is planned out and on top of that gabe can track him any time with the ring now how on earth hasn't Gabe figured out that his son is cat noir.

I have yet to watch the episode, but I will say, I do find it strange that Nathaniel is the only classmate not in the resistance yet, alongside Marc, Zoé, Luka & Kagami.

The reason they keep saying she disappeared is because the body was never officially documented. Gave probably just took it and stuffed it in his garden with no one noticing.

At 5:07 Marinetti is shown with a side facing foot that looks hella awkward. I loved the video

no because i just realized WHAT people could actually make adrien say to them..

Hey, love your videos ❤ where do you watch the episodes? I couldn’t find this episode in KZfaq 😅

Who is surprised Marinette benefited from plot armor at this point. She's Marinette! Of course she would get massive plot armor and win in the cheapest way possible. She always does.🙄

I thought the food in the cafeteria looked fantastic! Yes I went to public school in the US

Actually, I think the opening sequence is quite genius. Not filler at all. It's commentary about the current relationship, between the media, and the average person. The banana made perfect sense in that light. Doesn't matter what we say is going on in the world - Stay Peachy!!

I have wondered for a while now. Do you watch the series in eng dub or with eng subtitles, because if you watch it in eng dub, how do you get the episodes so early.

I’ve still haven’t seen this episode😭Where can I watch it?!

The problem with Lila's manipulations is that it actually shouldn't work. At least not with how little effort she put in at first. I'm not saying Marinette's classmates shouldn't doubt her every once in a while but from the episodes before Lila was introduced, the class (sans Chloe) adored Marinette. Like straight up thought the world of her. They defend her against Chloe on a daily basis for god's sake so wouldn't it make more sense that the minute Marinette is like "Hey I'm getting bad vibes from this chick" they wouldn't immediately fall into the "You're just jealous she's into Adrien, poo on you" mindset? Especially when LADYBUG HERSELF confirms Lila was LYING.

1:20 I don’t think it was actually very filler, this comes in to play a bit in a later episode

Morally bankrupt is a simultaneously hilarious and accurate description 🤣

damn i missed a few episodes too. im gonna watch your reviews now lol

"Right in front of his salad?!" I cackled

I think it would be funny if after nino admits there superheroes marrinette said she was multi mouse 🐁 and adrien had the snake 🐍 miraculous

I know we all appreciate the writing now, and it's a big improvement -- but lets not forget that this should've been the quality of the past seasons and this still doesn't make up for the utter trainwreck those were comparatively.

They were released out of order? Thank god i watched all 9 episodes in order since i got back like 2 days ago

At 6:01, it's boiled eggs with mayonnaise. A really common entrée for a French cafeteria.

I think the "plot armor" of her seeing the steps in water is ok, but the cheese and rats? wth....

Seriously, after season five ends can we get Chloe's redemption arc back on track again, and have Luka come into play and have her realize that Jagged Stone is actually his and Juleka's birth father to make her give them the dignity and respect that they and their friends deserve from her to make her less of an awful person, and her family less dysfunctional?

Yes!

If I didn’t already know that the writing in general for this show is horrendous. I would have guessed that Gabriel has BPD. And honestly I agree! Drugs too. And as a fashion history student that low-key would have been a nice reference if that was the case. As Gabriel’s Character is inspired by Gabrielle Coco Chanel, who also abused drugs in her lifetime. Of course though this is a kids show where serious topics are pushed under the rug and don’t exist so Gabriel’s constant major character shifts is just bad writing. 😂

One thing, that REALLY bothered me about the scenes, where Mari and Alya chatting about conquering the Miraculous back: Why the hell do they talk about that topic in PUBLIC?! And over a Ring, that is also a utility to post things on social media? What if someone on the streets noticed, what they were talking about and posted it on social media? I mean, in the real life Paris is a city ​​of millions and there are people on the streets. If i was in Gabriels shoes, i would constant surveil Alyas Ring if she talks with someone about Ladybug. And when she does that, she will accidently reveal the secret identity of Ladybug

3:08,ngl my brain kinda had a short circuit when they discussed this part,like Gabe legit cooking and going to school with Adrien is unnerving as all hell.

I personally think this season from illusion onwards has been good. I mean I loved reunion and elation but can’t lie I didn’t want to see Andre akumstised again. We need a marinette akumatisation to happen. I will say the main thing is that monarch is being more active this season and finally coming out of his damn layer. I hated that before he never came out. I will say this I miss the hawk moth mayura duo but unfortunately felix has it which is annoying as he should have gotten it at the end of season 5 after the agreste arc. I hope we see mayura one last time tho obvi it ain’t gonna happen
