I really hate that "Miraculous Ladybug" has squandered its potential

It's just a mess, spinning its wheels in the mud of "status quo is god" combined with a terrible inability to air episodes right.

Seriously France, air your episodes on time.

There was supposed to be one last Saturday, but now it's rescheduled for this Saturday.

Even in season 3(?), they still can't get their act together.

France is actually relatively on top of things. It's the other countries that started ariing them months earlier at completely random intervals.

there was no potential in the first place. it's just another superhero themed chick flick like there were in the 90s and early 2000s, much like sailor moon et similia. the reason why it got this attention was basically reviving a dwindling genre with a location that wasn't another anonymous metropolitan skyline

also it starred a cute teenager in skin tight latex, not exactly rocket science here

Of course it had potential. It could have actually developed the characters and plot-lines it introduced. But no, let's keep almost everything the same for season after season after season.

Potential surrogate mom character potentially torn between her loyalty to the father versus the son?

Nah, let's have her turn stereotypical-for-the-eviluz chick.

sailor moon too used cute teens, tight suits and double entendres. they even had a partial nudity transformation scene. it is the standard package. astruc didn't invent anything new

preying on boners most certainly isn't new, I was in agreement if it wasn't clear

Problem is, Astruc didn't improve on the formula either. The Sailor Moon formula's flaws are pretty blatant in 2019. The formula dates back to the 1990s. The series is repetitive, excessively focused on the protagonist, and characters introduced regularly vanish and reappear.

Even if Sailor Moon was repetitive it still shaked it up every once in a while. Main villains actually got their comeuppance, so you have at least that.

Hawkmoth has been running wild for 3 seasons straight. Lila and Nathalie have gotten much worse.

I could write a book about what I hate of it, and I didn't even mention the animation, the production, the plot, the animation ecc. This thing is a mess

The fact that this show is still going and LoliRock gets the shaft kills me.

Unironically grow up

Villain is trying to bring his wife back from either being dead or comatose. For some reason (future threesome), Nathalie is trying to help him bring her back even though she loves him.

I really like it. I can just randomly rewatch any episode and enjoy it very well.

The lack of continuity does have rerun advantages, for individual episodes.

2d and Felix never.

Someone sees potentials...

tsk tsk

There's going to be a 2D OVA and Felix will show up in Season 3.

>There's going to be a 2D OVA
Lol, that's probably already canned

Is this a shitpost or have you not seen all the episodes

It's established Hawkmoth IS trying to bring Emelie back, and it's implied that Nathalie loves Hawkmoth.

Thus it's not a stretch to imagine Emelie and Nathalie were more than just friends.

>implied
Pretty sure she said something confirming it in stormy 2

Felix will only show up for one episode, be characterized as a total asshole so Asstruck can say he was right for ditching him, and then get Poochie'd out of the franchise forever.

Fandom immediately writes Felix and Adrien as BFFs.

At least Nathalie seems to be risking herself as Mayura out of devotion, but Lila is just plain EVIL.

Startrain is no longer airing this weekend. Sorry, guys.

Ah well.

Have a Timebreaker.

I know. I hope Nathalie gets the better of that wicked devil.

This is exactly why the show is the way it is. We’ve already seen how it airs out of order sometimes, and since some episodes will air in some countries before others, keeping it in a way where no one will feel lost if they had some ongoing narrative.
Granted, now that the show’s guaranteed a fourth and fifth season, they can do more story-wise without worrying if the season they’re currently working will be their last and end up on some cliffhanger.

Personally, I want to see just how much worse Lila can get, going from bratty schoolyard egomaniac to full-blown Miraculous Anti-Christ.

>monster attacks every week
Why would anyone want to live in Paris?

They could always move to Angel Grove, which has an utterly MASSIVE abandoned warehouse district.

But hey, the rent is cheap.

Lila is kinda nice just because her pettiness is the reason for all her evil.

[Judging from the newest ep, she'll pobably steal the butterfly miraculous from Gabriel at some point. Jesus, this means that this continuous battle will go into their adult life with no visible end. Or maybe the future will change.]

That or she'll find a similar power of her own that's not a Miraculous.

Or Gabriel succeeds in fulfilling his (wish which is just to revive his wife), and with no longer needing to be Hawkmoth, relinquishes his Miraculous, only for Lila to get it somehow, and uses it solely to defeat Ladybug and Cat Noir out of pure hate.
I gotta say, Lila is a lot of fun. She went from manipulative bitch in school to full on supervillian.

If he succeeds there will be no Ladybug or Cat Noir. Making Lila Hawkmoth would be a mistake. She is actually good in the field, while Hawkmoth's job is just sitting in dusty attic, watching, gloating and making puns. It would be better if Nathilie became HM and gave Peacock to Lila.

lolirock died because Marathon was bough and they cancelled all creation to focus on selling IPs of shitty TV reality shows.

Well, Astronema completly wrecked the place, you would expect no one else would want to live there if it wasn't cheap.

>Hawkmoth-Nathalie

That would be interesting, if she kept her civilian fondness for Adrien intact.

Nah, Nathalie's fine as Mayura. Her main role is to struggle with being so devoted to Gabriel that she's willing to risk her life on a busted Miraculous to serve him.

So then where does that leave her when Lila takes over as Hawk Moth?

I predict Enemy Civil War.

More good poster material?

I had hoped there would be new ones. Like at least one new per episode.

Has anyone drawn a Lila Fox/Moth yet?

I haven't seen any new Lila-Moths since the hype died down a few days ago.

There were a handful drawn. With luck, she'll be drawn periodically (akin to the same frequency as Alya).

>I never stole anyone's phone

Yeah, it's a fun idea with some canon basis, but I think it's burned itself out for now. Maybe once the show starts setting up more hints, we'll see some more periodic surges of fan designs.

>lying about her secret identity
>lying about her crush on Adrien
>this
Marinette lies more than Lila

Aw, please, that's nothing. She's since moved up to stealing bikes.

But Lila's lies do far more harm.

Who would have the longer nose? The one telling a lot of innocent lies, or the one telling fewer but bigger lies?

I'll steal it! No one will ever know.

Doc Louis trained her well.

Bigger lies.

Troublemaker is modeled after the rock band KISS. She's basically a black woman into 80s metal adherent, and an ascended fangirl in a way since she's the assistant to a rock star.

I've never understood why anybody liked this show. It's okay for three episodes and then gets super old real quickly. I can't imagine three seasons of the same shit over and over again. And it's not very funny to boot.

the shows creator tweeted out the cover for a script with an episode entitled "runes" and said here we go again, I forget her name but if you find her twitter you'll find it.. So there might be a tiny bit of hope
