Its Nice to see Adrienette become Canon, but rather than feeling Joy, i just feel a sense of exhaustion, like "Finally, they got together" and we can move on from this plot that went on longer than it should

To clarify why Adrien going for a kiss isn’t him being a total creep: In some countries including France air kissing or lightly someone on one or both cheeks is an affectionate but platonic greeting. This is trying to make going for a cheek kiss look like going for a lip kiss to play with expectations because the show assumes the audience will see a Parisian going for a cheek kiss as standard. Adrien does this occasionally as he’s trying to open up with people.

I cannot finish a single episode of this show without thinking "What would Negative Legend say about this" 😅

Actually I love that they reversed the love square because it feels like a step forward. So the problem with the original love square (in my mind) is that they're both 'in love' with the idealized versions of each other. I'm not entirely convinced that that's real love because you're only interested in the good parts of that person, but flipping the square allows them to fall in love with the not idealized version of each other. That seems kind of important if this is ever going to be a real relationship.

I feel like MariChat is a good ship because they can talk to each other normally without having to put up a front.

The kwami are natural creation that have existed longer than humanity. The miraculous are meant to limit the kwamis power. Mostly by making it easy to seal them away. Otherwise they'll use their abilities with reckless abandon and cause chaos. That's how we get stuff like Plagg making the dinosaurs go extinct or Tikki making city sized chocolate chip cookies to feed her sweet addiction.

Miraculous in one sentence: "I like it, but I also don't"

Honestly Natalie getting mad at Gabriel because of his obsession with Ladybug and Chat Nior is so good. I hate this season a whole lot but I really like Natalie finally being fed up with Gabriel because I have been since Season 4. Edit: The reason Natalie is still working woth Gabriel is because she's trying to protect Gabriel from Adrien. She knows Gabriel is willing to hurt Adrien in order to complete his goal so she's sticking around to make sure that doesn't happen.

8:50 YES! I have thought of an AU where Natalie betrays Hawkmoth/Gabriel and takes Adrien away to protect him. She would be a surrogate mother figure who actually gives a shit about him. She would also tell him the truth about his father, leading to Adrien having to choose between his father's goal of bringing back his mom or his and Ladybug's goal of keeping Paris safe. He may even reveal his identity to Natalie, leading her to feel remorseful for ever fighting against him, especially when it also led to her injuries. They would probably team up in the end to trick or force Gabriel into giving up all the Miraculous, possibly using blackmail that would tell the world that he is Hawkmoth.

I think one use for the miraculous is to keep the kwami’s powers in check. Without the miraculous their powers go overboard. As seen in that one episode where Adrien was unavailable so Plagg had to use his powers by himself and his destruction wasn’t as controlled as it usually is

For the record, the kiss thing from Adrien is way less weird in a French cultural context. Common greeting for friends is cheek kisses!

12:21 The miraculous need to exist, because aside from Hawkmoth, there were already other dangers to deal with, aside from that, there will also be numerous other threats that the heroes will inevitably face as the years go by, this was explained back in "Timetagger". Without the miraculous, the heroes cant exist, and without the heroes, Paris would be destroyed at the hands of other threats. Thomas and his team explained that so long as the broadcasters know that the show is popular among the target audience(kids), the companies will continue to approve more seasons, keep in mind that Thomas does not own the right to the show, the company he works for does, Zag studios owns everything. Aside from that, Thomas and his team also explained long ago that they learned how to better work around the restrictions to take the story in the direction they wanted, seriously 120 countries and they had to meet all their restrictions, and since the audience is getting older, they were permitted to make the story a little more serious, but this all could easily change depending on what the broadcasters tell Zag. Sidenote, Miraculous are not indestructible, they are just hard to break, there was an error back in "Queen wasp". Nathalie is only staying with Gabriel because shes trying to protect Adrien from him . The one thing we learned about Gabriel was that the longer he obsessed over defeating the heroes, the more he continues to lose himself and his humanity.

I will admit I love how MariChat works compared to LadyNoir, mainly because it changes the plot from a generic teen romance into a Shakespearean tragedy where the two realize the dangers of loving each other. For Marinette, she can't be honest with Cat Noir and it feels like she's lying to him, which causes her conflict. For Adrien, however, it's the classic "keep your identity a secret" conundrum where Marinette knowing may put her in danger, with the dramatic irony that we know she and Ladybug are one and the same. I honestly need to catch up on this show. Considering I dropped off during season 3 and never watched season 4, with the juicy twists in season 5 part of me wants to see where things go, especially for the season finale since it's clear Hawkmoth isn't gonna be our main antag for much longer.

I have such a hate-love relationship with Gabe (Gabriel/Hawkmoth), like what he's done/doing is horrible but also it's so funny to see him on screen that I can't take anything he does seriously enough to be mad at him XD

I don't watch the show anymore so I keep up with the plot via you.

They could have gone back in time to before Marinette/Ladybug gave the dog miraculous to Felix (she thought it was Adrien) Saying “Don’t do this, this is what’s going to happen, just fuse with the dog miraculous and let us take you.”

Im using this to catch up on the series cause i dont have Netflix and dont wanna struggle finding the episodes in order

Marichat sailing and sinking in the same episode was bittersweet. Also I swear in season one or season two they said that a miraculous jewel could only be destroyed by Chat Noir's cataclysm because they were "too strong" but I've also seen all the seasons 7 times while i am cooking and cleaning because my kid is obessessed with this show. 😂 don't get me wrong, i like it too, but I also have a house to run. 😂😂😂

It's not that the miraculous "need" to exist, it's that the miraculous have solved many crisis in human history and are to useful for the guardians to just destroy them. Also, Nathalie is still working with Gabriel because she has grown attached to Adrien and if Gabriel doesn't alter reality with his wish, Adrien will have no one to take care of him because they'll both die very soon. Another thing, I think the reason that Marinette told chat to use the rabbit miraculous might be because she has some kind of trauma from using it in the season 4 ending

The miraculous also act as a limiter on the power of the kwami. Think about the various backlashes that happened when they used their power without a holder and multiply it by 100. Plagg canonically is the cause of dinosaurs going extinct. So destroying the miraculous would stop people from using their power, it would also leave their power unchecked.

As someone who dropped off of ML like mid season 3, this shit has gotten absolutely wild!!! Does it explain why the miraculous can hold the Kwami even after it’s been broken down? It’s it the type of mineral or something? I always thought it had something to do with the Kwami attaching themselves to the jewelry voluntarily so shouldn’t that contract be gone once the object is destroyed? Or is this another thing that they don’t really explain and we’re just supposed to roll with??? Edit: got a little further into the video and Negative asked the same question so here’s to hoping the show will answer it in the future lol

The plot hole 12:41 is actually not a plot hole because Monarch uses the akumatized villains to draw out the superhero's and causes large amounts of destruction just to get Ladybug and Cat Noir's attention. But if they destroy the Ladybug earrings and the Black Cat ring then they can't use Ladybug's ability to fix everything in Paris. Meanwhile Monarch will keep trying to get their attention by destroying Paris. We know Monarch would be willing to destroy Paris because in the United Heroez Special, Back when Monarch was Hawk Moth, almost started a WW3 by launching a nuke with FULL knowledge of what he was doing. So this is why the hero's can't destroy their Miraculous. Byyyyyyyeeeeeeee

My favorite part of this season is when Natalie rushes Gabriel, twists his arm behind his back, and pushes him chest first against the table. Had me laughing. Like, exactly Natalie. No more putting up with his BS. Well, that and they finally gave us an openly "out", character instead of just implying and baiting us.

5:17 the kiss is just a way of saying hello, here in latin america we also do that, doesn't matter if we don't even know each other. I mean we don't do it to everyone on the street but when you are on a reunion or something we do that.

This show is somehow, annoying, frustratung, yet somehow interesting enough to keep me invested. But the fact that Adrian is literally throwing himself to Marinette and still they're still at square one! I can't escape this series 😂

It wasn't a kiss @ 5:16 it's la bise. Fairly common in France

As a certified Marichat since season 1, I am very happy!!! AND HYPED!!!

12:31 Kwami need to exist Miraculouses are basically just like a symbol of contracts where the kwami gets to interact with the real world in exchange for power and loss of absolute freedom. They’re usually used for solving big problems supernatural or otherwise and the infighting seems to be a more recent development. Like if they destroy the miraculous the army or a hero from another area would have to deal with threats like the flying dinosaurs or major disasters. Edit: your not dumb for not knowing this most of it is in spin-off content that’s poorly documented, hard to find and semi- cannon I just have spent way to much time on the Wiki

i think gabriel didn’t make phones because phones arent something that holders bring on missions😭.rings are easy to forget are there and you dont have to hold itt.

they were rings instead of phones so kagami’s mom collating with gabriel would make sense since she owns a tech company and he’s a designer it’s like a mix of both

~5:23 He just wanted to do "la bise" to her, a sort of kiss on the cheek that isn't actually one, and a common french gesture when we say hello even and even mostly when we don't know the person we're greeting :") But most people, especially the teenagers don't do it with their close friends, or at least I've never seen any of my classmates do it at school. The fact he also does it ONLY to Marinette, and continues to try to do it when she's clearly not at ease is to blame though.

There was a nose ring miraculous. You would have realized it if you watched the episode "Penalteam"

The kid scream Hawk Moth did when he made cat noir cataclysm his arm was too funny!!!! 😂🤣😭☠️👏🏾

Miraculous at this point makes me scream

It honestly feels like too much development was packed into this season that should have been present in previous seasons. I’ve also watched ahead and have seen more of the upcoming episodes, and it gets WILD.

5:18 They’re French, a kiss on the check is practically a handshake

I am missing the last season so it's nice to get a recap. I can't believe they have been able to keep the love shenanigans going for this long!

You can watch the rest of the season on youtube, the ones that aren’t released yet are on french tv channels and they recorded them in french with english subtitles. These episodes are the best episodes from the whole show. None of the other episodes even compete with them. They are everything we’ve been waiting for, trust me.

Only Miraculous would have a ship war between 4 ships comprised of the same two people.

Thing about the Miraculous: the kwami wanted to interact with the world, but couldn't until they were given a physical connection when the Miraculous were made in China centuries ago. This is explained only in the comics.

14:34 mad respect for your partner, that's a real one and a keeper right there. I hope their head doesn't blow off thow.

5:18, In France we just do it to our friends 😭 it’s very normal.

You should read the comics, it talks about the past and how the miraculous were created 'n all that stuff! I'm holding spoilers here, but it answers some of your questions.

i havent watched miraculous in years nd i dont even understand whats going on but im glad you guys are having fun

12:38 so, from what i understand from the lore, the kwamii are cosmic beings which have existed since the beginning. the miraculouses just allow them to take physical forms and share their powers with humans. so if the miraculouses were destroyed, then the kwamii and their powers would still exist, but would be unable to be harnessed by humans.

What the hell was 6:32?! Shit had me dying dude!!!!🤣

After watching this I opened my DisneyNow app just to take a looksy, and it seems like they're putting the movie on a slow burner cause they came out with a few more episodes I think in the past 2 days XDXDXD, can't wait to see how the rest of the season plays out, and I hope Marinette makes up her mind, cause she knows dating chat isn't a possibility on top of keeping her miraculous, she already made that risk and it didn't go so well.

Negative totally was lucky ladybug and catnoir each exchange their miraculous

1:35 it's risky to change the past or present, so they will only do it when there's a catastrophe

The love (square? triangle?) shifting felt rushed but I can acknowledge that it was good it happened. I just wish they would of had her either be over Adrien for a bit longer (and not have her blatantly ignore that he seems into her) and then eventually develop feelings for Chat Noir instead, or they could have shown more of an inner conflict with which of the two she likes. Either way I think it was a good arc, it was just a bit too short to me.

Don't mind me, I'm just here to say I've stopped watching Miraculous for a while and Rabbit Noir has managed to pull me completely back into the fandom.

The Miraculous are supposed to be indestructible it like the Miraculous creators forgot about that it was stated that only chat could brake them

"you guys came together? THATS a first!" had me screamlaughing for no god damn reason ksjvkjsdfa

This banana seesaw is awesome! :D *sigh* I've been told MY banana seesaw is awesome too... - Negative legend 2023

one little side rant. Why in the hell does every combo suit look better that the original ones. At this point im wondering if they had any thought in their head making the original suits and their holders.

You look like Serena from pokemon XY in this vid and honestly kinda slayful of you

I think I have a problem, cause every time I see Marinette or Adrian angst over how their love cant be in either superhero or civilian life all I can think is "Yes yes, cry, cry your little tears muahahahahahaaha!!!" This show has ruined me.

I was literally rewatching all your miraculous videos 5 minutes ago

I found it so frustrating that LB did not just started grabbing the other miraculouses. Like she could have taken the horse miraculous and he would not have been able to escape.

you are the most positive person on this show, good for you!

Believe it or not Season 5 has actually been airing episodes in order for the first time here in the US on Disney Channel

All these years later I still wish this show was actually 2d animated and was in an anime style like it was pitched … this could have been like shugo Chara I was so looking forward to it

I feel like it's gonna be another few seasons with this new love dynamic x'D

5:23 Actually kissing cheeks is pretty common in certain parts of France. It’s just a friendly greeting most of the time. 🩵

Just realized this but…. Doesn’t Monarch have a miraculous that gives powers? He can just ask for the power to resurrect dead people. Seems a lot easier to do

Kingdom Hearts in the background has me so happy

I've actually seen the next few episodes and it's a 2part story for Adrinette canon they actually get together and are taking it slow

Adrien needs a lawyer nah he needs a dam therapist nd a juice box

i’m been binging all your videos over the last week, glad there is something new to watch

Always love seeing the ladybug content! Also, your skin and makeup look INCREDIBLE this video, couldnt stop thinking about it the whole time!

It’s frustrating that they flipped so suddenly. I can see Adrien liking Marinette, but Marinette flipping from being usually being annoyed by Cat Noir to loving him is just too much

I think it was for a ring because then it'll be hip and something you can have in addition to your phone- plus it aligns with the rings that Hawk Moth/Monarch has. Also, a phone not everyone is willing to get a new one with a new brand since they like their phone but accessories for their phone? Extra stuff? Maybe yes!

I just want to say that your hair is really good here- very voluminous

1:43 That is actually genius

In France it's normal to kiss a friend on the cheek 🤣

Just to help with some pronunciation, the "d'arc" part from Jeanne d'arc is pronounced "dark" :D

All episodes up to 20 are out on KZfaq! Some tho only have English subtitles

I haven't seen Miraculous since season 3 lmao omg WHAT IS HAPPENING?! ACTUAL PROGRESS??

Season 5 is so good I love that Adrien finally falls for Marinette and I loved that Adrien is standing up to his dad. I love that I get to see Felix's peacock transformation. And I like that Marinette gets to have a crush on Cat noir. I also call Gabriel Hawkmoth a lot because I'm used to it. I loved that Alix finally got the rabbit miraculous and I loved the transformation that she showed. And Natalie standing up to Gabriel was great.

yeah I like this format of separated videos

Ahahhahahahah omg i had an alarm that went off exactly when Adrian tried to kiss marinette and it paused right at it, like an alarm going NAH NO WAY

I loved season 5 the most 😊

Actually, he does have the most overpowered miraculous. He has the rooster miraculous. For some reason, the miraculous of the rooster is more overpowered than the ladybug, and the ladybug is the miraculous of our main character

Remember, these characters are French, kissing a normal customary greeting

8;51 It says “This is why I have fanfiction”

This really makes my life easier, because I know I don't have the emotional strength to watch it on my own

Somehow, it felt like Marinette moving on from Adrien to focus on Cat Noir was her growing up from her childish school girl crush to have real feelings for someone she had been too quick to judge and dismiss.

Even if the Miraculous were destroyed, the Qwamis would still exist. If the Qwamis use their powers without a miraculous, disaster ensues. There being a miraculous for each Qwami ads a layer of protection there

The next episodes are really 10/10 episodes.

Nathalie is only still working in the manor is to protect Adrien

❤ Loved your season 5 (half of it) reaction ❤ I'd love to see your reaction to the rest of the season soon! I'm so happy you're still willing to react to season 5, despite its SUPER snail release.🤗 Also, will you be reacting to the Miraculous Ladybug movie too? 😍😍

I felt your pain at 14:03 😅😂

12:40 what about the kwamis ... The miraculouses and kwamis and connection and even if u dust them they exist . They are natural forces

You look like a 70s mom with that hairstyle 👍

Joan of Arc. Joan of Arc is actively invoked. Oh my god, and I thought the ripping off of Kamikaze Kaito Jeanne was supposed to be subtle.

Hey legative, idk if you see this just wanted to say that i think i saw Zag sell replicas of the show's jewelry on their site. Though some of it is okay and i get buying from Small shops.

I stopped keeping up with this series a while ago, but it's good to see some resolution to the knotted love yarnball.

marichat i have literally been consuming content of and wanting to be canon since i was 15 years old i am now 20 and its finally happening sort've ....i dont know how to feel lajkfds

5:39 Those rings would work great for people, as shown, with similarly shaped fingers.

Okay, here's the deal with destroying the Miraculous: According to the wiki, the kwamis are born when their concept or idea comes into existence, and an old warlock forged the Miraculous to bind the kwamis' power to because they were too dangerous to be left free and the Miraculous contained their power somehow. So Gabriel only destroyed and reformed the containers, not the powers. And yes, apparently the kwamis are required to exist.
