Actually seeing Hawk Moth/Gabriel get called out by Adrien for his abuse and then arrested for his crimes after being exposed and giving up the fight willingly is beyond satisfying.

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,"

This less then an hour movie accomplished what the 5 season series wanted to accomplish.

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.

Finally someone said it!! I was so upset when they didn’t use Christina Vee for Marinette’s singing! She’s literally a professional singer!!

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!

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".

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

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. I really hope a sequel is made for the movie, because it easily surpasses the show.

It's still better than the show. The movie took an hour and a half to give us the reveal that 5 seasons couldn’t. It’s a shame they ruined Plagg, had too many songs and they wouldn’t let Marinette’s Va sing.

I hope they make a 2nd movie. I'm interested to see Natalie as possibly the next villain since it looks like she'll be doing things without Gabriel this time.

Just wanted to let you guys know that there are 2 more movies planned/green lit according to Wikipedia, and the series has been green lit up to season 8, I kind of like this alternate version of the plot, looking to see how it progresses from here!

I always found the original design of Adriens dad uncanny, something about his huge eyes and how seperated they where, vastly prefer this new look

my sisters and I started dying when they played careless whisper lmao I love this movie so much more than the show, definetly one of if not the best things to come out of this franchise also when their identities were revealed was perfect

Blonde villains- - Lucious Malfoy (Harry Potter) - Cersi (Game of Thrones) - Regina George (Mean Girls) - Prince Charming (Shrek) - Cruella De Vill (101 Dalmatian’s) - Harley Quinn (DC)

I watched this in French on purpose and found myself liking the songs better than when I rewatched it in English

I mean, when the entire fandom is screaming "WHY COULDN'T WE GET THIS IN THE FINALE ?!?!" you may wanna reevaluate your career In all honesty, this movie was everything I wanted to see from the show in it's late stages. 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

I love how this movie is way better than the tv series, Hell it almost makes me wish and or hope that they do the upcoming 6 and 7th seasons in this form of animation style!

16:47 Draco malfoy and his entire family, Prince Charming from shrek, Regina George from mean girls, David bowy in labyrinth, sue sylvester from glee, there are tons of blonde villains

It's a shame that they only focused on Adrienette and LadyNoir. They did an AMAZING job with the latter, but I would have loved to see some Ladrien and Marichat scenes as well. By not showing half of the love square, they're missing out on some prime real estate!

21:11 this is unironcally one of my favorite shots in the show. Like he just looks so cool with half his mask torn but his eye is still like a cat’s. Plus sparkles Also I demand a full/extended version of “Alone Again”

I loved how violent it was because the series is goofy and doesn't ever take it that far and enjoyed how they had two version of the theme song in it.

This movie is like when a comic book adaptation addresses the parts that are bad and lasts for too long because the comic has to go on and actually makes a great storyline from not having to stretch out a story. Miraculous Ladybug to me should've lasted 60+ episodes AT ITS MOST

This movie is waaaay better than the entire series -Characters are more likable (except Chloe duh) -Marinette's and Adrien's meet cute is actually cute -Marinette is NOT a stalker on this one -They show chemistry between Chat Noir and Ladybug -Gabriel is a better villain and actually more understandable. and my favorite thing being that finally Marinette puts Chloe in her place!

The green cross in France is simply the sign for a totally normal pharmacy. Also they got the Parisian mentality right with : the whole world is only Paris

There may be flaws, but I love how this movie did better than the show itself.

"Him wearing wired headphones dates this movie" *cries in still using wired headphones with no plans to stop*

As someone who’s vaguely seen the show via Twitter clips, I liked how the movie showed the main points while hinting to more in the background (Luka in the school). Anyways I’m glad they got together in the end so I don’t have to watch 5 seasons of the show runner edging the audience lol

Green/purple as villain colours probably comes from comics where red, yellow, and blue are "heroic" colour schemes, with green and purple (and orange) being their opposites on the colour wheel to contrast.

I like how in the movie they act kinda more like teenagers like how ladybug and cat noir tease each other by calling each other names like watermelon and insane and how Adrien always has ear buds in all the time like an actual teenager unlike the show how there more focus on love and being super heroes like I know that's important but there still kids so I like that the movie includes that

I honestly prefer the movie. Of course, as a movie, it needs more run tine to compare to a show that’s been dragging its feet. I think if the show could go back and cut the fat it’d be infinitely better. Maybe I’m just done with exploring all the ways they can’t be together and am ready for exploring all the ways they can end up & stay together.

Ngl the way they designed and wrote Chloe here makes me wish for the 2nd movie with her getting the Bee Miraculous. Layla is canonically next main villain after Gabe so mean girl vs "domesticated" mean girl dynamic would be so good + it's what fans always wanted to see her getting a proper redemption arc without being erased for Astruc's ego and Layla finally doing something. Hell even at the end of this movie you can see worried Chloe helping Sabrina stand up she would never do this in the main series, they're totally setting her up (i'm delusional).

There was a lot of jump cuts but they had to cram so much into this hour and thirty minute movie. So I personally think they did a really good job overall, and I really liked that this was more of a romantic 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. I stopped watching the show a while ago, because i was sick of the will they won’t they trope the writers have been doing for years. The only thing I want is a sequel! And possibly a whole trilogy if we’re lucky.

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.

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

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.

I adore they way they handle gabe in the movie. Like i'm bias but Keith Silverstein gets to show off his emotional range and its fantastic!! Edit: I do agree the climax was fast paced and I think it's only because of the fact it's a movie. Had they been able to extend it just a bit or made it like a 3-4 episode special, it might have felt like perfect. But as is, I adore it greatly and it really hit me that some of the best episodes of the show tended to be directed or written by Jeremy. I think he understood the potential for the series and really went into it for the movie. (Also a God tier ending compared to the show.)

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

As soon as I watched this movie. I knew....that it felt like a fanfiction. Cause MLB aint gonna stop until the company can milk as much money as possible. Happy Ending with the characters knowing each other's identity? That'll probably happen after 10 years. I BET that there is a fanfic that is like this movie.

List of blonde villains: - Chloe Burgeoise - Phobos - the Malfoys - Regina George - Heather Chandler - that one punk dude from Winx club - prince charming - Saruman - Helga Sinclair

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)

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!

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

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

Honestly, I couldn't get into Miraculous Ladybug because of the cringeworthy way Marinette acts around Adrian, but this movie's got me intrigued now. The textures and hair physics are also to DIE for. Edit: 16:55 Dio Brando

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

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

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 ❄️🧊

finally, actual fans reacting to the movie

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.

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.

"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

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

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)

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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😂😂

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

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 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

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

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

‘Name a blonde villain’ Gabriel: BLONDE VILLAIN

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

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

Everything aside, totally off topic…. Can we admire the Zane from Ninjago frame in the back for a moment?

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

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.

Negative: "Those wired earphones are dated though" Me who still uses them: :( Anyway, I like this movie better. They just needed more time, that's it 8.5/10👍

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.

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

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

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

I actually have a purse from hot topic that looks like the yoyo. It has Marinette's polka dot print on the inside and a little keychain of Tikki 😊

ok forget the video for a second- Negative and Isabella are having such a good time watching this together-

THE YOYO BEING COMPARED TO DR STRANGE'S CLOAK IS SO GOOD, THAT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE

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

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

For a moment they have a Zane picture at the back LOL that was beautiful. ❄☃

16:55 Prince charming from Shrek 2 and 3 😂 he's your blonde villain.

Not related to the movie but your partner hair is giving Draculaura vibes and I'm here for it

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.

OMG YOU GUYS ARE SO CUTE I CANNOT I WAS SQUEALING AT YOU TWO THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE VIDEO LIKE OMG I WISH ALL THE HAPPINESS AND THE BEST FOR YOU.😭😭😭

Yes, like You both said:,This is a ultimate universe: Zag and Thomas had planned this to be their version of the Disney Univeres that won’t flop! Out with the old and I’m with the new!

Keith killed it with that song and yet they couldn't get Christina to sing for Marinette smh.

my jaw fell to the floor when marinate started singing. for multiple reasons

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

Them: *looking for examples of blonde villains* The Movie: *Gabriel*

Blonde villain - Meredith Blake from the Parent Trap

11:57 "- be careful the cat bell that cat noir wears... - ITS EEEE-VLE" 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

It took a single two second line of dialogue to make Gabriel more relatable and sympathetic than three entire seasons of the show did.

"She's hot." 👏THANK YOU.

The framed picture of Zane in the background tho🤣❤
