BTW, even though I do make my own miraculous speededits, my aviator was made by one of my favorite speededit YouTubers, Maruvie.

Hi, TheRealIcestorm! I’ve heard about the live action film. I’m kind of nervous.

See, the thing is, Miraculous isn’t that great of a show. Don’t get me wrong, it’s massively popular, and I enjoyed watching... most of it... but it’s not that strong of a show at all. The characters ARE fun, but nothing ever seems like a threat. You know everything’s going to be fine in the end. It’s very repetitive. In addition to that, the entire show runs on the love square relationship between Marinette/LadyBug and Adrien/Cat Noir. Without that, the show would not be this successful.

And there’s nothing wrong with having a love square. It’s a very interesting concept. But they really overdo it in this show. They keep teasing it to the point where the charm wears off very early on. Not to mention characters like Luka from season 2, who are simply just added for some forced romantic drama. That’s when I stopped watching. I started hating every episode they were in. They are just characters that are there specifically to keep people watching. It’s so transparent, because the writers aren’t giving it their all. I KNOW they aren’t. And the reason why is because they have this mindset of “oh, it’s just a kids show! It doesn’t need to be spectacular!” It’s very annoying.

What you may be thinking is, “Okay, but then why don’t you have a problem with Chloe or Lila?” Yeah, I don’t hate those two. Why? I’d be glad to explain.

Both girls were introduced in solid episodes.

Chloe was there from the beginning, so I don’t have a problem with her. It was just, “oh yeah, she’s that kind of character.” And that was it. The way she was written just seemed to fit perfectly, given what kind of show this is.

Now, Lila was introduced VERY late into the first season. But I still really like her character. The reason why is because she isn’t just a character made to create romantic drama. She’s her own character. The writers don’t intend for us to find ourselves conflicted between who should date Adrien. She tried to date Adrien through lying and manipulation. We just aren’t going to root for a character like that. What’s more, she wasn’t redeemed in the end. It opens up possibilities for her character without seeming forced. LadyBug was being immature and made a mistake, which led to the development of Lila’s character. She was already unpleasant before, but now, she really is against LadyBug, and for valid reasons. You can feel and understand her emotions without rooting for her. Considering how her character is written, it makes sense that she would turn into Volpina. Volpina isn’t even that far from how she was acting before, which is what really stands out to me. That’s what I love about that episode.

Compared to that, the new love interests seem forced and flat. Honestly, I would love to see Chloe get an arc where she becomes a better person and learns to accept that Adrien might like Marinette (kind of like Amber from Sofia the First).

Anyway, I don’t think a movie would be that interesting. Unless there’s a one-off movie villain, it will probably be very drawn out and forced. The formula for Miraculous is just so repetitive and standard, and it’s made specifically to fit a 20 minutes time slot. But, regardless, I am interested in seeing what direction they take it in.

(And yes, I’m still upset that Thomas Astruc thinks Winx Club is worse than his show, and I’m still upset that someone on the team behind Miraculous draws inappropriate art featuring the characters from the show to post on Twitter. Nothing will ever change that. I’m upset about a LOT of things related to Miraculous. But I’ve set most of that aside for this rant.)
