Classic Miraculous. Taking a character with a whole heap of narrative potential and chucking them in the bin. Nice. Not wasteful and stupid at all is it? Is it too much to ask for the writing team to follow through on the story threads they set up without bungling the job? Perhaps not. Now let's complain for almost ten minutes. Enjoy.

Honestly that would’ve been really awesome for Luka and Adrien to know each other’s identities, paralleling Marionette and Alya! Plagg making Luka’s room slowly smell like cheese, Adrien telling him about LB (as Luka already knows who that is), etc. that would’ve been nice!

I always felt like Luka was a bit older than everyone else. He was designed bigger and wiser than the rest of the gang and I never really noticed him at Juleka's school (why would you put your twin kids to different schools). Not being Julekas twin would also make it more understandable, why Jagged was thrilled to see Luka all the time, but not Juleka. If Anarka was still touring with Jagged while they already had their first child but got fed up with the lifestyle after getting pregnant for the second time and left, then Jagged would have remembered interacting with Luka at least as a baby and have no connection with the not-yet-born Juleka. Making Luka older would also explain his maturity and why he is so chill. It would also be a good reasoning as to why Marinette had a crush on him. He was in control of his life, which is what she lacked in her own.

Luka was originally written to be older. In an old tweet from 2018, Thomas Astruc states Luka is two years older, but I guess he must have gotten backlash over the age gap, so he changed him to being Juleka's twin. I think he deleted the tweet because he got outed, but there are screenshots available on Google.

The worst part for me was how horribly Luka has been written out. Somehow Monarch managed to read his mind to find out that he knows the superheroes' identities, but he had no such questions/ability when he nearly akumatized Marinette at least twice from what I remember. They didn't even bother explaining how it's different this time, but if this is a new (unexplained) ability, this means Marinette can't risk showing a negative emotion from now on AT ALL, otherwise she risks him learning about her identity. Really unhealthy for a 14 year old in particular :/

There was an explanation but it was half assed... Mari was "fine" cuz she focussed on her positive emotions (kinda toxic tbh) to break her connection with Monarch (easy for her cuz she never was fully acumatized before and Hawk Moth didn't know how to connect to her yet. Luca had not 1 but 2 identities to protect. Hawk Moth already knew how to get to him. Once he would resign control to hawk moth there would be no stopping him from going after Mari and Adrian, afterwards everyone close to them (since he knows most other identities too since Miracle queen). Acumatized Luca with all his knowledge (and potentially Sazz's powers) would be unstoppable. Silencer almost beat them, combine it with the power to erase mistakes... Luca was and has the potential to permanently claim MVP status without doing anything

The way Luka and Marinette's brief relationship ended, and it's aftermath, was so much less realistic than the fall out and rekindled friendship between Adrien and Kagami, Luka and Adrien should not be so amicable, I'm not saying they should be antagonistic towards each other but there should be a bit of awkwardness considering Luka is Marinette's ex who was headover heels with her and Adrien is the guy she loved during her relationship with Luka Also, Marinette asking him about relationship advice was as weird as the time she tried to get him to not be at HIS birthday party. Kagami is presented as being socially inept but the way she expressed her feelings was so much more mature and direct.

I remember when Luka was Juleka's older brother before Thomas and the writers reconned it them being "twins" which made no sense because you could clearly tell he was older than her. But in all seriousness, they basically pulled a "Poochy" and had Luka "go to his home planet" so they didn't have to that pesky intrigue and just revert things to status quo. That's why (I believe) they had Gabe get the rest of the other Miraculouses so they can just have it be Chat and Ladybug trying to defeat Gabriel (which since it's practically confirmed Adrien is in fact a Sentimonster) which most likely could end up like either Chat Blanc or the season 4 finale where Gabriel SHOULD win because it's basically a fore gone conclusion at this point (but I feel like the writers will pull something out their asses so that miraculously won't happen.)

Yes. Just yes. Picture Mari calling Luka going "i am so sorry for breaking up with you and now i call you even though I know i shouldn't and I really need your help and advise but i don't know how to say it and..." Luca hangs up, drives as fast as he can to her, sprints into her bedroom and hugs her. "Marinette, whatever it is, you can tell me. I will help you no matter what. I know something was wrong between us but that doesn't mean i ever stopped loving you. You can trust me." She looks up at him as he wipes the tears of her face "Luca... i... I am Ladybug." He looks at her, a bit surprised but his expression otherwise unchanged. She shuffles away. "That is why i always ran away, why i lied to you, why we had to break up. I couldn't keep hurting you. You deserve so much better. And despite it all you are the only person I can tell, you are the only one i feel like i can trust." He puts a hand on her shoulder. "This revelation changes a lot, Marinette, but it won't change how I feel and how I will act around you. You have always been kind, compassionate and brave. Even before I knew you are Ladybug i knew you were a hero." She hugs him as Sazz and the other kwamis come out of hiding, the snake kwami getting closer to their holder as Tikki smiles at the others and motions for them to join in. Then, after wishmaker: "did you see who chat noir is? Please, if you did, don't tell me. I can't know. Oh god, if you knew I don't know how to protect you from Shadow Moth..." "Marinette, calm down. Everything will be okay. With you by my side there is no way Shadow Moth can get to me. No matter how often he tried." Then, at some point, after a band practice: "Adrian? Do you have a moment? I gotta talk to you..." He glances over to Marinette who chats with Alya and Nino about a project of hers. Adrian follows his look, nods and goes with him down into the ship. As the blonde enters Luka's room he sits down on the bed. "So, you wanna talk about Marinette? Do you want to get back together with her?" Viperion slams the door shut. "I know it, Adrian. I know your identity. I am sorry I didn't tell you sooner, you deserve someone you can trust in." He detransforms, as his head hangs low "Ladybug trusted me to not find out and keep everyone else from finding out. But you... you don't deserve isolation." Still speachless Adrian croaks out: "Luka?" He nods. "Chat noir." "How... how long?" "Wishmaker." "He.. hit me?" "Once." "Do you... do you remember it all?" Luka smiles. "Every second of every try. I remember when Mari once got hit because she left her hiding place and got turned into the knitting fairy. Rather adorable. And when you got unmasked. But do you really wanna know your wish?" Adrian nods, determined this time. "Tell me." "You wanted to be whatever made the people around you happy. Whatever your parents wanted for you. And ever since I knew you shouldn't ever be so isolated that your tune gets obstructed with its own echo." Imagine scenes of Adrian ranting about how Ladybug never takes him serious, and how his flirting annoys her. And Luka smiless, tells him how he might need to shift to someone else, how he aims for someone he admires like a fan instead of someone he sees as an equal. Therefore he solves the love square cuz how tf did he not grow tired of it. Also, Luka solves the season 4 finale. The moments Marinette appears with the dog user Luka actives his 2nd chance. "Ladybug, who is that?" She gets defensive, saying how she doesn't want to reveal her teammates. He raises an eyebrow. "The moment you say so i delete this moment from time. But if i know you right, then this is not who you think it is." "Luka, what are you talking about?" "You wanted Adrian, didn't you?" She stumbles backwards. "How..." "That isn't Adrian. He wasn't on that train. I don't know who that is but someone already impersonated Adrian once and hurt all of you! I am not allowing that again." Chat noit steps forward. "Felix?" The dog boy stumbles backwards. "What? What are you talking about?" "Felix. Cousin to Adrian. Once you put on his clothes and ruffle through your hair you look like him. And you took his world tour with Lila. Because you can refuse his family." "What? How? Those accusations are lies! Ladybug, believe me, you know me. You can trust me." Luka laughs. "Oh you have to be kidding. Chat, this is stupid. Show her so we have proof and then i take care of it." "What?" "Trust me. I know what I am talking about. Everyone here is your friend but him. Ladybug loves you." "She what?" "Your girlfriend. Now, transform so i have his identity and can return to the beginning of this." "If you are sure... Plagg, claws in." Ladybug looks confused between Adrian and the newcomer back and forth. "Wha?" "It's okay, Mari. I knew. And i promised to protect you. Second chance!" "Guys! this is the user of the dog, his name is-" "Felix. Adrian's cousin. An imposter. A miraculous isn't suited for him. Get whoever used it last time. Trust me." And thus Sabrina returns, the day is saved, Felix gets grilled at some point in time to reveal why he lied to LB, the sentimonster story is revealed, Gabriel never becomes Monarch and is instead defeated. LB gives the peacock to Felix, trusting him to protect himself and everyone like him but to never use the powers to harm the innocent. He is still angry but gives in, thanking her and turning a mew leaf. Adrian and Kagami are still shaken up by the reveal but Luka takes care of them, convincing them they are real people, no matter how they came into being. That they deserve to be happy. That their hearts have a tune like everyone else. And that Mari and Master Fu were right to trust them. Kagami falls for him in that time and they leave to travel together while Adrian goes to Marinette, confesses to her that he loved her since she first allowed herself to be free, that she was who set him free from all the pressure his father put him under. They kiss and as they part all their friends as couples are around them, celebrating. A bit apart from them stand Kagami and Luka, his eyes meet the pair in the centre, he winks before leaving with his girlfriend. His mission is completed. Everyone he cares for is on their right path and his path is next to him, rambling about all the things she wants to try. He listens and makes a mental list for her, smiling.

There's another thing that bugs me. The nature of Luka and Marinette's relationship at a certain point has been shamelessly RETCONNED, from "they both felt something for each other" to "he was in love, but she only ever saw him as a friend". Seriously, this is what we're told in "Crocoduel": the canon is suddenly altered and the audience is gaslighted into thinking that the romance had always been one-way only. ...THEN more recently, in S5, Mari at a certain point says that "with Luka, it didn't work out", which is another 180° turn: either she was never in love in the first place and friendzoned him OR she was interested but it didn't work out. PICK ONE! (Also: the reason she dumped Luka in "Truth" was SOLELY bc she had a secret she could not tell him. In S5 she resumes chasing Adrien and ultimatively manages to get together with him... she won't tell him her secret either... but suddenly this is not an issue anymore!) 🤷‍♂️

Couple things wrong here. First, while Luka and Marinette had feelings for each other, you're kidding yourself if you believe she was actually IN LOVE with him. Luka was in love, Marinette was attracted. IN S3/4, she understood that her love for Adrien was getting her nowhere and as he was "taken" so to speak, she decided to try and move on thus dating Luka. Now, for you to say the only reason she broke up with Luka was because "she had a secret she couldn't tell him" is seriously baseline. The REAL reason she broke up with luka is 1. She was never IN LOVE with him in the first place. Having feelings doesn't equate to love. 2. It wasn't simply about having a secret. It was about not being able to 100% be herself or trust him. Imagine being with someone you constantly have to hide a part of yourself from. Not only was it unfair to him, but how long can you even respect someone with that type of dynamic? That bit about Marinette "resuming to chasing Adrien"? You clearly have missed the first 10 episodes because she's legitimately doing the OPPOSITE! Adrien is chasing her after being healed from his blindness. So no, your looking at things way too surface level which...doesn't shock me as 80% of the fandom tends to do just that. Seriously, I should start a course on "Media literacy for Miraculous ladybug"

@@kainightshade5033 riiight, so when people have a different opinion from you, it can't be a valid opinion... it's just that they have no media literacy? 👍🏻 I stand by my prev statement. Let me elaborate: Mari was portrayed for a long time as being in love WITH BOTH. There was absolutely no difference - other than your own personal preference for one of the ships - that could make you tell "oh, yeah she only has feelings for one but she's def in love with the other". The only big difference was that she was able to talk to Luka, but that in and of itself doesn't mean it couldn't be genuine love: just that he was able to put her at ease. I also stand by my statement that the sole reason why Mari and Luka broke up in "Truth" was bc of her secret. Nowhere in that episode we get to see that she somehow realizes "oh this isn't real love". We are presented with a series of scenes in which the two seem the happiest couple in Paris, they can talk about anything and always have a good time... they were about to kiss in the cinema and it didn't look forced. Literally, the ONLY obstacle to their relationship in that episode is her being Ladybug, and Gabriel seemingly being on an akuma-frenzy which basically prevented Mari from being able to have time for Luka. She wasn't even thinking of dumping him: it was Luka who felt she was hiding something from him, and that made him feel unconfortable. He thought she was still thinking of Adrien, and she explicitly denied that. They do not break up bc she somehow realizes that Adrien is the one and only: that never happens in "Truth". They break up bc she has a secret, which is seriously getting in the way of their relationship, and Luka isn't OK with that. She never indulged in thinking of Adrien for one second in "Truth". This leads to Mari undergoing a personal crisis, as she realizes she won't be able to be in any relationship bc of her duties as hero and guardian. Later in "Crocoduel" this is simply retconned: there is NO MENTION of the secret as an obstacle to the relationship, not even in private dialogues between Alya and Mari. That issue is simply neglected as if it never played any part in the breakup. Mari just states that Luka is in love with her, but she'll never feel the same. She is only in love with Adrien. Now, since you're convinced it's a matter of text comprehension, please let me know at what point in "Truth" Marinette finds herself thinking about Adrien. I went through the episode script one more time, she mentions Adrien once and it's merely the recurring gag of her having his photos in her room and being embarassed by that. She does call Luka "Adrien" once in the scene, but again, it's part of the gag. She does not think of Adrien when she's about to kiss Luka at the theatre or during any other of their dates. I'll give you one thing tho: I'll admit she doesn't exactly *immediately* go back pursuing Adrien, I probably fast forwarded that part in my head.

@@Orkprof This is exactly what I mean when I say media literacy is severely lacking in this fandom. You basically skip over how Lukanette even got started and play off one of the most telling scenes as a gag when it’s not. Let’s go back to where this all started: Season 3. In S3 when Marinette first meets Luka, she’s charmed. He’s sweet, understanding, and she probably thinks he’s kinda cute. During this time, Adrien has a serious infatuation with Kagami and Marinette’s going through a crisis because of that. Once she backs off after understanding what a dick move it is to sabotage someone else’s relationship, THAT’S when Lukanette takes off. Her logic is “I can’t even talk to Adrien. At least with Luka, I can actually talk to him”. In the finale, her body language is still very much sad because she’s still hurt by the fact Adrien is dating another girl that isn’t her but then she listens to Luka’s song, smiles a bit, and you can see she’s trying to make herself feel better. She’s appreciative for Luka but STILL SAD. You COULD call it a rebound. I won’t because there where actual feelings involved. She liked Luka and wasn’t just using him but to say she loved him is just crazy. Not once did she say she love him or even elude to such a thing. They did NOT talk about everything. Hell, she’s told CHAT NOIR more about her personal feelings than Luka. So going off everything I’ve said and your whole statement about “Crocoduel” (minus the retcon), and the fact that Hawkmoth was running her crazy and making keeping her secret all the more difficult, it all falls together nicely. Lukanette was legit doomed to fail from the start. Last thing, the pictures. She calls Luka Adrien. Not because of a gag but because SHE EMOTIONALLY ATTACHED TO SOMEONE ELSE! You take a teenage girl who’s in love and has been obsessing about one guy for months, throw in some random guy and think she falls head over heels? That makes total sense 🙄. What makes this worse is that Luka knew this. He intentionally dated a girl he was aware wasn’t in love with him and emotionally attached to someone else. It’s pretty tragic. So yeah, it’s not that I can’t take opinions it’s just that I see yours is filled with holes. The media literacy thing isn’t me insulting you, that’s just a fandom wide problem. 80% of the mlb fandom thinks about things so surface level and doesn’t bother to present other facts unless it fits their agenda. Here’s just a random example of how the fandom overlooks things all the time right? So in a season 5 episode (I forget which) Adrien gives Nathalie a pink lily on her tray. Pink lilies are meant to symbolize femininity and fertility. We know in canon that Adrien has researched flowers extensively and knows their meaning. Therefore, we can infer that Adrien gave Nathalie that flower believing that her illness is linked to Nathalie being “pregnant”. These are the details that a lot of the fandom misses when discussing plot lines and story details or just pass off as gag or coincidence. If there’s anything we should all know about mlb, NOTHING is coincidental.

Preach... they deserved better. I think Chloe and Sabrina both deserved proper arcs. Giving up on someone isn't something Marinette and Ladybug should stand for. Yes, she can struggle, she can fail, but giving up? Hell no. For that almost all characters are too nuanced for. I kinda loved how instead of calling Lila Chloe at first wanted to call Sabrina for help. It was sad how she then instead called Mari. Admitting she needs help could be the first step of her new redemption (she'd deserve another chance, asking for help, mending her relationship with Zoe and Sabrina, getting off of her high horse...)

I have a personal headcanon that Luka did tell Adrien that he knew he was Cat Noir off-screen, like you suggested should have happened - that would explain why Adrien doesn't seem surprised or concerned when Luka not-so-subtly shoves him in a closet alone after saying that they need Cat Noir, why Adrien seems completely comfortable confiding in Luka despite them barely interacting before Wishmaker, and why he doesn't react nearly at all when he tells everyone he knows Ladybug and Cat Noir's identities at the end of the episode. I agree that it would have been really nice to see that relationship develop on-screen though. Truly a wasted character. On another note, I will now be quoting "To be a Luka fan is to suffer, and it's been that way since day one" on a daily basis, thank you very much.

Yeah, I agree with you. It would've been cool to see more of Luka at the beginning of season 5 till Migration, especially after what happened in Wishmaker when learning Ladybug's and Chat Noir's true identities. As you said, he could've been a mentor for them secretly. All that, and it would've been more interesting to see a Lila and Luka interaction, with Lila trying to lie and manipulate him only to be shocked that he isn't buying anything and sees right through her lies, especially if Lila mentioned Marinette's actions when they were dating to try and break Luka and get him to hate her only to backfire as Luka knows the truth and isn't that easy to manipulate. And for Luka to be Adrien's friend at the beginning of season 5 would've been cool to see so that Adrien has someone who knows his secret identity and can keep it a secret (sorry, Nino, but you can't do that) only to leave and have his life spiral out of control. I really wish that the writers did more with Luka. I wonder what his role will be in season 6, then.

I still think Luka forming an unlikely friendship with Chloe could be a good chance to set up a final redemption arc for Chloe. Have Luka become an unlikely confidante to Chloe -- he is Jagged Stone's son, they could bond at some stuffy masquerade or something. Then Chloe starts to spiral out of contral once she sees Adrian & Marranette get together. And then Chloe sinks even further after her father gets sick her abusing Zoe and chooses Zoe over her. Then Chloe falls under the influence of Lyla whom uses Chloe as a pawn against her war on everyone. Lyla also isolates Chloe from Sabrina so Chloe has absolutely nobody left who cares about her. She is completely alone in her missery. This is where Chloe hits rock bottom. She is akumatized, takes over Paris and betrays Monarch (Chloe stings Monarch with the power of the bee) all according to Lyla's machinations. Luka is taken hostage because he knows who Ladybug & Catnoir are, but instead of giving up the info he talks to Chloe and is finally able to get through to her. Chloe rejects the akuma, turns on Lyla for using her and turns herself in. I know this is all a tall order, but I honestly think that Luka's laid-back self-help guru vibe makes him the only person who can get through to Chloe. The dude has the patience of a saint. Spend some time developing his relationship with Chloe at the start of the season and rest should fall into place. Then the Luka/Chloe ship could become an endgame thing.

Then taught him how to defend himself from akumas, and protect his mind so monarch wouldn't feel it. Also should have had Luka become Adrian's Alya, as a friend who adrian could confide in even as cat noir. I mean Alya knows Ladybug is her friend, but Adrian has NO ONE. I also still think ephemeral should have been an inverse of Cat Blanc, with Marinette being the one akumatized. Where marinette wanted to speed things up between the two romantically, Hawkmoth abuses that, SUCCEEDS in akumatizing her, she reveals her secrets to him, has her message Cat Noir using her miraculous. Luka manages to save the day as before, or Bunnix does the same thing.

Perhaps he was counseling them on their situation (Luka does have a reputation of being a mature person who gives useful advice), and he decided that telling them Ladybug's identity would be useful because it was important to finally bring Monarch's reign to an end. It would show that Luka has good judgement - he kept Ladybug's secret for a long time, but he finally revealed it when it mattered the most and Monarch was about to strike.

I wasn't even interested in the character in the first place, because he was literally created just to be a second love interest for Marinette, considering he ticks all the boxes a generic love interest should have, like being a musician, looking punk, always knowing how the character is feeling at the moment. Not to mention every appearance this guy has, he is always thinking about Marinette. Like in Silencer, his entire band is plagiarized and he isn't akumatized, but the second someone threatens Marinette, that's enough reason to akumatize him. Like bro, your entire life's work got stolen in front of you, but you get mad when someone threatens your crush?! And it's not like it's both as he states it was because someone hurt Marinette. However, I completely lost fate in the writer's handling of the character in Season 4. So we spend 1 a season and a half building up the relationship between these two, have an entire season where Marinette can't decide between her two crushes, have her finally decide at the end... AND BREAK THEM UP IN THE FIRST EPISODE OF THE NEXT SEASON!? And if that wasn't enough, Luka finds out a few episodes later about the secret identities. Ya know, THE ENTIRE REASON THEY BROKE UP IN THE FIRST PLACE!? So instead of having Luka talk with Marinette about it and possibly get back together or having Luka be sort of confidant for Adrien like Alya is for Marinette, nope, they do absolutely nothing good with this.

That's why Astruc is giving Marinette all the spotlight, that's why SHE is the savior of the day. And since Chloe has been her bully for years, Astruc now just straight up hates his own character. How can someone hate their own creation?? Instead of stopping being a simp and trying to be a good writer (just give Chloe her redemption arc for fucks sake) he introduced a new character, Zoe! Chloe is a much better character than Zoe. Chloe has better backstory, not better but more personality, played more role in the series and has a lot of potential. Zoe's only personality is being nice and being part of the Marinette's harem.

I agree that Luka was a wasted potential in the show the same could be said about Alix. I would like Luka to tell Adrien that he knows that he's chat noir and be great friends with him like Marinette is with Alya cause we all know that Nino can't keep a secret. cause if you think about it Adrien only has Plagg to talk to while Marinette has master fu, the guardian, and now Alya which isn't fair. I would love to have Alix pop in from time to time and talk to Luka about this cause their powers both deal with time and they would probably know about ladybugs and chat noir's identity. it would make Alix and Luka a supporting team to keep the heroes in check and be their emotional support. I mean if Luka has a problem that has to do with the miraculous there is no way that Adrien is going to help nor is he going to Marinette so the best choice would be Alix who can time travel and speak to him in some kind of code or message.

It's like every other thing that could make an other character interesting is only episodic or thr character written out from the seria themporary, so they don't have to focus on them

I've seen comics and fanfiction were Luka finds out Ladybug's and Chat Noir's identity because he can hear people's inner melody. That would have been interesting if during wishmaker, Luka sees Marinette transform and she freaks out. But then he says. "I knew your inner melody sounded familiar." That would have been interesting if he knew all along. And if someone ask if he can figure out who Hawkmoth is. Well Gabriel doesn't really go out much as himself or villain. Plus I don't think Luka would get close enough. Then with him telling Adrien he knows. I've read a couple of fanfics (a thing from the miraculous ladybug fandom that is better than the original.) And there Luka does just so and is there for Adrien. Ecspecialy in one were Adrien almost. Well makes himself bite the dust. And I wish they could have had him be a support in the show. But Ofcourse it's only Marinette who's the main protagonist. Even if she and Adrien are suppose to be the two main protagonists together. Luka's character was waisted. From going from a side ship to just being there. Heck Kagami got more development. My guess is that the writers didn't know what to do with Luka and just forgot about him. And later wrote him out to make it easier. Luckily we have fanfiction that can help us calm down from the original.

yeah, I'm probably not going to be taking opinions from a youtuber, especially after realizing that biased opinions are not the best sources of information. Seriously, I started checking all the info people like smarty pants claim to be true...its not. Luka's character wasn't ruined, absolutely no one knows what they are planning to do with him, and of course he had to leave Paris, did people really expect him to just go around doing something his new info when he knew Monarch was always on the hunt to figure out the heroes identities? Luka had to lay low, and when he was discovered, he had to leave for his own protection and everyone else's. Honestly, why do people keep making a big fuss over this when its so simple to understand?

this is a tad bit off topic but if any other miraculous holder knew about both Marinette and Adrien’s identities, the secret would be out in less than 5 minutes. i wish they would’ve kept him in the season even with Monarch knowing that Luka knows Marinette and Adrien’s identities. it could’ve been an extremely good episode if Monarch was able to “capture” him and LB and CN had to save him and all that jazz.

I would have liked to see Luka start off ok but not as calm and perceptive, and over time we would see more of his story and how he's growing and getting better with his emotions until he gets to the point that we see now. It would also be interesting to see him a little upset about his father's revelation because it's going to be a big change, and as Luka always puts others above himself this would be the moment where he would reach his limit and need some time to process everything instead of just accepting Jagged in the same episode he discovered the truth.

Luka is my favourite character and, while his story writing never left me angry like Chloe’s story writing did, you do make lots of good points and I would have loved to see more Luka. It appears that season 4 was the season where the animators were scared of upsetting the status quo by developing their characters. However, it seems to fit Luka’s character when he helps Marinette and Adrian get together

Our only hope now is that because Luka knows and Adrienette is officially cannon he could start dropping hints at who's who. Like he could drop hints indicating Chat Noir and Adrien are more similar or vice versa. Luka could also work as a support like the way Rena Rouge was for Ladybug. Another However knowing our luck that may not happen. One can only turn to the fanfic at this point.
