It’s a pretty somber scene, so let’s cut to something stupid instead, like Marinette and Adrien’s classmates throwing a party under the assumption that Adrien simply delivering something to Marinette means they’ll get together now.Īll of you are really gunning for the Biggest Idiot Award today, aren’t you? The attempt fails, but Marinette kicks Adrien out anyway. Marinette and Adrien talk and it seems like they’re starting to grow a little closer, but Tikki and Plagg panic, trying to intervene so they don’t know each other’s identities. Because it’s not like Alya learned that she shouldn’t choose who she thinks Marinette would be best with last episode, right? Somehow, she thinks this minor favor will help Marinette and Adrien realize their true feelings for each other. Bustier asks Alya to deliver Marinette’s homework to her, only for Nino to convince her to have Adrien do it instead. Speaking of which, after the episode’s obligatory pointless Chloe line that’s only there so Selah Victor can pay her rent that week, Ms. The closest we get to an argument in favor of love is whenever Marinette and Adrien’s friends try to make their OTP come together without considering if it would actually make things better or not. The problem is that we never get a lot of arguments as to how love can benefit the heroes, not only when we see how much it screws up Ladybug and Cat Noir’s partnership, but once again, how Marinette’s romantic feelings for someone led to her greatest failure. Yes, getting emotional can cause someone to make more impulsive decisions, but at the same time, feelings of love and kindness can get good results, like Ellen Ripley’s maternal instincts motivating her to save Newt in Aliens. Instead, all she does is whine about how much her life sucks over and over, which is the same problem I’ve had with Adrien for the past few seasons.Īnd once again, for a show with the lyrics “The power of love always so strong” in its opening, it seems like the writers want to make a bigger point in favor of showing how love can only ruin things. If Marinette came up with new ways to strategize with Cat Noir, or seriously reevaluate the way she sees Adrien that isn’t just brushed aside, I’d get it. The whole point of a hero having to comprehend a major failure is to see how they deal with the consequences to their actions and find a way to improve to make sure nothing like that ever happens again. If it isn’t that, it’s a complete strawman or character who we know already hates Ladybug like Chloe or Lila calling out Marinette for her failure specifically so any negative feedback she gets can be easily brushed aside. We’re ten episodes into the season, and whenever Marinette brings up her failure at the end of the last season, it’s the same song and dance: She feels guilty about it, she needs someone to try and make her feel better, and she doesn’t change anything about the way she and Cat Noir operate. I’ll never fall in love again! Love is weak! And I can’t be sad about it otherwise, I might get akumatized! Tikki: You’re overreacting, Marinette! Marinette: Really? Then, how come I lost the Miraculous I was entrusted with all because of love? Love only ever causes problems. While Tikki tries to remind her of all the good she’s done as Ladybug as footage from earlier episodes plays, Marinette points out how she’s a terrible Ladybug, once again referencing how she lost the Miraculous because of her feelings for Adrien. “Transmission” starts with Marinette having another depressive episode, which seems to be worse than usual, with her offering her Miraculous to Tikki so she can choose someone else. Let’s get into the tenth and eleventh episodes of Miraculous Ladybug’s fifth season: Transmission and Deflagration It has to be something that will alter the very way we see the plot and these characters, and-it’s more Love Square stuff. So obviously, after all this time, there has to be a reason for putting a two-parter here. There have been a few episodes I think could have benefited from having an extra part, like “Cat Blanc”. Well, it only took until almost halfway through the fifth season, but we’re finally getting a two-part episode that isn’t a season finale.
