  it concerns me that most of the people in the fandom would be better at writing the show than the actual writers

  I kind of wish Plagg said something like, ‘Cat Noir is his BREAK! You have no idea what his actual life is like, Ladybug!’ which would make Ladybug actually wonder about Cat Noir’s home life

  My biggest problem with the episode was how ladybug never really apologizes to cat noir

  Miraculous Ladybug is a prime example of how to not write a good story and characters

  What I hate the most about this whole ordeal is that I actually like the idea of Chat Noir being sidelined by the temporary heroes and that leading to a rift between the two of them. And with Ladybug refusing to communicate with her supposed equal and true partner, she keeps giving herself far more trouble and piles of responsibilities that she isn&apos;t ready to deal with or can&apos;t by herself (even having Alya helping her), but instead of asking CN for help, she just doubles down on neglecting his existence and makes things even worse as the season goes on.<br><br>But the execution was TERRIBLE!!! It all came down to Chat Noir being annoyed sometimes, but then throwing hissy fits in some episodes pretty afar from each other. When Kuro Neko came, the show didn&apos;t really build on the idea that CN was being neglected, only that he tried to talk to Ladybug when she was busy and under pressure, and his actions came off as someone petty trying to get attention rather than a true partner that is really trying their best but continuing to be ignored!<br><br>For Kuro Neko to work, the entire season should have been building up to this moment, by having Ladybug constantly having nightmares or remembering Chat Blanc and refusing to call for CN&apos;s help because of it! And with the temporary heroes, she has the perfect excuse to stop interacting with him! Have CN not be his goofy and silly self this season, but be even more neglected and abused by his father, and with Emily bedridden he has no one to talk to at his own house outside of Plagg, and you have the two sides piling up bad emotions. Then, when Ladybug says to Plagg Chat Noir can have all the free time he wants because she has made the decision to not put him in the field, Plagg has the moral ground to scold her for pushing HER ideals into Chat Noir - she doesn&apos;t know how much Adrien wants to be Chat Noir, how much he wants and NEEDS to be useful, because that&apos;s all he has left at this point. And then her not realizing Kuro Neko is a Sentimonster, instead insisting that it really was Chat Noir akumatized, would just lead the rift between them to grow even bigger.<br><br>THAT would have been a much bigger threat to the heroes in a season finale than Risk or Strikeback were! The reason Ladybug always wins is because she always has the support of everyone around her, be it the heroes, the city itself or Chat Noir. If CN and LB have a falling, they can&apos;t work together to fight such a complicated enemy as Strikeback, which then would lead Ladybug to make all the mistakes she did without even the need for Risk.<br><br>When Chat Noir decides to show by her side and comfort her after she&apos;s lost all the Miraculous to Hawkmoth, it comes off as a powerful moment that shows Chat Noir&apos;s instance on his responsibilities to Paris, and that can be the trigger for Ladybug to start trusting others more and actually confide in Chat Noir! That could elad to a Season 5 reveal of their identities, but Adrien having been hurt by the neglect in the past, he would be completely over his crush on Ladybug and only see Marinette as his school mate whom he fights crime with.<br><br>THE DRAMA WRITES ITSELF, WHY CAN&apos;T ZAG GET IT RIGHT!?

  The writers have forgotten that the entire reason Marinette fell for Adrien is he was kind to her despite someone he was close to bullying her and making her feel horrible. He chose to be a decent person despite Chloe&apos;s wants for him to join in one making Marinette miserable. He saw it was pouring and offered her an umbrella, never expecting her to return it. <br>Except, they did remember, but not until the finale. Wherein they paralleled that scene and FINALLY had her see that Chat Noir made the same gesture just without a physical object. He was there when it was pouring, when the world fell around her and she felt like she lost. But hes done this for her SO MANY TIMES ALREADY. This idea she would fall for Catwalker before he even tried to help her, was probably some of the biggest assasination to Mari&apos;s character Ive seen yet. <br><br>Marinette season 1 fell for a boy who gave her the time of day when no one else would and symbolized that with an umbrella.<br><br>Marinette season 4 fell for a fancy boy in latex.

  I have started saying &quot;Marrinette is a character for the show to develop. &nbsp;Adrien is a tool for the show to use&quot; &nbsp; and this episode encapsulates that perfectly. &nbsp;<br>It is a get out of jail free card for Marrinette as it sets her up as &quot;what ever choice she makes will automatically be right do to her status as guardian&quot;

  The fact that Ladybug only likes Cat Noir when he is acting like he does with his father, is very concerning. It&apos;s like she only likes the idealized version of Adrian she has, not Adrian himself. The thing is, relationships can&apos;t work if you only love the person on a good day. If you only love one small part of them, then you don&apos;t truly love them. It&apos;s ok to despise certain aspects of a person, but when those flaws make you no longer love them, then you don&apos;t love them as a person, you love the idea of them.

  The thing that bothered me most about this episode is that it basically spelled out in big block letters, Marinette DOES NOT like Adrien when he&apos;s being himself. She doesn&apos;t like the real him. She has deluded herself into thinking Adrien is some perfect Ken doll boy toy, and she does not like him when he&apos;s being himself. It&apos;s wild

  My biggest two problems with the episode:<br>1. It implies that in order for her to love him he has to change who he is, which is a very wrong and toxic message for kiddos…<br>2. She never apologized or seemingly felt any remorse for anything. Her instant thought was finding a replacement.<br>I love this show but it’s really not what it used to be man…

  The &apos;I got rejected so I changed myself to fit their attractions so they would choose me (even though who i become will not be who i really am)&apos; trope has been so devastating every time I encounter it.<br>Mari falling for a cat version of Adrien the Model Boy is so disheartening when Chat Noir was Adrien&apos;s free self living without the weight of expectations tied to his name. I genuinely become sad listening to this recap at that scene, I have stopped watching Miraculous for so long and this is worse than it was.

  It kind of reminds me of Thomas in general, who doesn&apos;t really apologize and doesn&apos;t like to hear criticism. Thomas has accidentally projected his inability to self-reflect onto Marinette and made it so her environment isn&apos;t calling her out as much as it should.
