And everyone in Paris is living happy, safe, and sound. For now, until Lila a.k.a Cerise makes her next move and wreak havoc in the city, but now with the butterfly Miraculous in her possession.
What would you think if an evilized villain (maybe a wishmaker-like villain or maybe even a villain that's unrelated to the butterfly miraculous) caused Chloe and Zoe to switch bodies somehow, and nobody fully understands what's going on, so Zoe (in Chloe's body) is taken by Audrey back to New York, despite Zoe desperately trying to explain things. But Chloe enters a fugue state (heavily due to trauma caused by the neglect of her parents) and genuinely thinks she's Zoe, and is even able to recall many of the things Zoe did due to being in Zoe's body. The class thinks “Zoe's” change in behavior is due to the psychological effects of method acting, since “Zoe” is playing Chloe in Astruc's new movie, but they gradually convince “Zoe” to let them help her relearn how to be “herself” again. Meanwhile, in New York, Zoe is trying to get back to Paris, but when she gets there, “Zoe” thinks she’s there to try to hurt Marinette.
Eventually, after listening to “Chloe”, Marinette starts to suspect that “Chloe” might be telling the truth, so she decides that she must test “Chloe” and “Zoe”. She fakes being in danger to see how they react. “Zoe” reacts slightly faster than “Chloe”, so Marinette comes to the conclusion that “Chloe” is lying and that “Chloe” has an evil and manipulative plan. Marinette thinks that “Chloe” must have picked up a few tricks from Lila, because she thinks no version of Chloe could possibly react faster than Zoe when it comes to protecting her.
(DISCLAIMER: This post is just purely in my opinion and is not intended to spew hate on Zoe. THIS IS NOT A HATE POST! This is just to point out the problem with her character only. If I missed something or want to add another, please let me know in the comment section below. Are we good? Ok, let's get started.)
So,some(or maybe most) of you mad at the creator for 'whitewashing' Marinette or Marinette herself,in general, because she's not being 'fully' Chinese.
Well.....,I would say it's debatable.
It depends on who you ask,whether they're natives or not.
But,on my personal experiences,I can relate to Marinette.
Why do I say that? Well,here's why.
Let's start with Marinette.
Her family was diverse. Her father's(Tom) side is European(French+Italian), and her mother's(Sabine) side is Chinese(Shanghainese).
Marinette couldn't speak Chinese(but tried to learn it in Kung Food).
Marinette goes to Shanghai to learn more about her family and culture and........let's be fair, she goes there just because Adrien was there and solely for Adrien(I don't want to be salty on her but, Marinette, your parents spend a lot of money for you to go there and learning about your own family and their own customs but instead of that, you just go there just to see your crush. I'm very disappointed at you, Mari. I'm not angry, just disappointed.)
Now,let's move on to my point. Why do I say ' I can relate to Marinette'?
Well, my family is also diverse. My father's side is Rohingya, and my mother's side is Malay.
I couldn't speak Rohingya(but always trying to figure it out how to learn it).
Malaysia is already my home(but maybe Rakhine also counts).
In conclusion, Marinette has her right to choose to live whatever lifestyle that is more comfortable for her, whether to live in a Western or French customs or with Chinese customs.
So yeah, I think that might be enough to defend her choice.
What's your thoughts about this one? Lemme know in the comments below.
Maybe(I think), it might be a great metaphor for Thomas Astruc. I might be wrong tho, so don't take it from me.
(DISCLAIMER: This is just my opinion on Chloe in Revolution. So, you can make any opinions regarding Chloe, but please, BE CIVIL. This is not a Chloe hate post. Ok? Let's begin.)
Don't forget the Middle East and Africa.
I think they didn't do a survey according to age percentage just because this is a kids show but you know what?
But my point still stands. What Thomas said is the most delusional things that I have ever seen so far.
So I got curious about Thomas’ little claim and decided to research his little take on MLB being more popular than Pokémon.
Pokémon is by leaps and bounds the biggest media franchise worldwide, with not even the MCU beating it.
Miraculous?
Doesn’t even make the top 50.

https://kidscreen.com/2019/11/28/infographic-what-are-the-most-in-demand-shows-globally/
I think the problem I have with Astruc's claim is just how vague it is. We have no idea of how these surveys even worked, or if they even took into account stuff like kids knowing more about the Pokemon games than the anime, the fact that the last season of the Pokemon anime was Netflix-exclusive, while Miraculous Ladybug airs on TV and on streaming services, the age range of the kids surveyed, the region each kid lives in, what channels kids watch their shows on, what kind of streaming services their households have (remember, the last two seasons of Miraculous Ladybug have been on Disney+ while Pokemon is on Netflix), and just how many kids said they knew Miraculous Ladybug more than Pokemon.
For all we know, only half a dozen kids polled could have said they know more about Miraculous Ladybug than they do Pokemon, where the survey itself involved only twenty kids, yet Astruc thinks that means kids all around the world are more familiar with his work than they are with Pokemon.
It's been a while since I did one of these posts, but guess which franchise Astruc is claiming isn't as well-known as Miraculous Ladybug?
Mind showing us some sales numbers for merchandise, audience surveys, or literally any proof that what you're saying is true, Astruc?
Heeey,I'm baaack!!
Sorry for not posting things lately. I'm on a pretty long hiatus because I'm busy and procrastinating like crazy but now,I'm back on track and I'll try my best to post daily from now on. So,without further ado,let's get into it.
Apparently,I have to agree with Thomas at this point because....LOOK AT HOW THE CURRENT FRENCH GOVERNMENT HANDLES THE ISSUES LIKE IMMIGRATION,RACISM,POLICE BRUTALITY,MUSLIMS/ISLAM,ECT.
And secondly,
So.....yeah,about the episode though,I'm halfway watching it but I can give you my thoughts about it.
Long story short,I'm watching the episode only because of the akuma and just the akuma,fuck that bus ticket guy (and the guy who smile behind him),fuck Roger,Sabine (and Marinette)shoudn't deserve it,the execution was 100% worse and FUCK THE STATUS QUO THAT MARINETTE SHOULD LEARN THE LESSON EVEN THOUGH SOMETIMES,IT'S NOT HER FAULT IN THE FIRST PLACE!
I know that they trying to teach us the lesson about racism,the message was there but it was executed very VERY horribly. So,if you thought that Miraculous is good for kids to teach the lessons,well,kinda. The message is good but please take it with a grain of salt,ok?
Oh hey, the trailer for "Qilin" came out recently. Let's check it out.
Huh. I know we don't have any context, but it kind of looks like Sabine got akumatized because she was being racially profiled.
But come on, who are we kidding? There's no way the show would actually tackle a subject that sensitive, right?
"Qilin" will be a ball to talk about, won't it?
That was the most backhanded birthday wish I’ve ever seen.
Look,yes,you seen it like it was the most backhanded birthday wish you ever seen but I think you misinterpreted something. Yes,Thomas has his own share of faults but let's be real,he's a human being. He's just like us, a normal loving human being but online,he's being like this because the fandom have gone too far. So,it's mainly the fandoms fault but I know there's a lot more than that,namely,Thomas's ego.
Plus,English is not my native language,so please,cut me some slack,ok?
I'm almost forgot that this month is supposedly Thomas's b-day,but because of the whole leaks situations & now the doxxing issues that's out of control rn,that celebrations is not as much as like...last year,so......yeah.
I just wanna say......
Like,I know you're the creator,this is your show & I acknowledge the hardships that you're going through but I hope you can at least accept any criticism about your show(constructive and polite).
Because if you don't accept criticism and just to expect some praise here and there,there will be no progression to move forward and your show will be like......Idk,Velma type of things(and before you note it out,yes,I'm aware about Velma and I think that Velma so far has even worse bad writing[even though the concepts is really good & I don't watch it because I don't have HBO Max in my country] than Miraculous,so,yeah.)
If you want the show to move forward,you must accept some criticism. I know that is painful and harsh but at least,that's the only way to make the show even better.
Constructive critism≠Insults
No criticism=No progression
And also,I hope you apologized to some people that you blocked(either without reason or because they criticize but in a constructive way) and ofc,to the Korean people because of the Rising Sun Controversy.
So,yeah. I think that's it for now. I want to make this post here but I'm afraid this is gonna get some backlash. But,you know,I want to make myself comfortable,so that's why I make this post.(I might not gonna post this on Twitter because.....I don't want to get blocked.)
I still hate him. I still hate him for his action in Felix & Strike Back but in Emotion,my hate on him has become more tolerable.......a bit.
Why do I saying that?
Because his motives/intentions was good. If you watch the episode,yk what I'm talking about. But,there is a caveat,his action on how to do it was more on the villainous side. Ik that he just want to freed himself as well as Adrien & Kagami(if you're totally believing with the sentimonster theory) but by wiping out the people with just a snap of fingers and openly saying to Ladybug that he want the Miraculous just to make his wish....is not a good move for a good intention.(Plus,he's very sus)
But I'll give credit where it's due because he still love his mom and he acknowledged that not all of them are monsters(as what Amelie said earlier). Plus,his motives are more of heroic side. So,I will give it the benefit of the doubt even though it's still unclear which side he should be place. Also,he acknowledged that he shouldn't be carried away with his emotion just to make his wish a reality(which led to the saddest scene in the episode).
So,overall,I will say that,in my opinion,he might be a bad guy(or 'boy' in this context) but a bad guy that you can sympathize for and can related to even though the actions/moves were wrong in any context whatsoever. So,that's why I'm legit to looking forward for his next moves.
So,what's your thought about Felix/Argos so far? Lemme know in the comments below. If there's anything wrong with my essay or want to add something,lemme know.
Ok,anyway,as usual,comment👇💬,share/reblog🔄,follow my blog👨💻,ask me if you want to💬and I have no other words than,
Stay safe😷,
Stay miraculous❤,and
Thomas:'S5 should be watch in chronological order so that the viewers can understand the story better'
Gloob-Then:'We're gonna released the episodes chronologically. No more releasing out of order.'
Gloob-Now:'releasing EP12&18 out of order this Monday instead of EP10&11'
The fandom:
'Wait!
Say what you want about Gloob but the real perpetrators that has to be blame is.....THE PERSON WHO LEAKS THE EPISODES!(and maybe Zag & Thomas)
Why I'm saying that? Because they leak it just to get attentions & get more views. That's what they are doing rn. If this wasn't for them,Gloob will not gonna realesed these episodes. Sure,I'm also disappointed with Gloob, releasing the episodes out of order but....you have to remember that the biggest problem that we have rn is the leaks itself. That shoudn't happened if Zag really focused on this issue and care about the fans like you,me & people around the world.
And speaking of Zag,I know he's a busy man but at least,please tell him to acknowledge that this is a big issue that needs to be taken care of. If it's out of control(like rn),people will lose interest to watch the season(hell,even the series).
I will show you a couple of tweet about this matter.(And yes,the tweets that I'm about to show you mention about Thomas as well)
Yeah,we,the fans did all of this that even Zag couldn't do it because we love this series and we want to stay that way. Zag and Thomas should know better because they're created the series and they should listen to the fans if there's anything bad happen.(And before you point it out,yeah,I know that there's a high chance that Thomas has his block button on his finger,I KNOW.OK?)
A lot of people are angry on Gloob rn because of this. Ok,imagine this. If other broadcaster like TFOU & Disney Channel do this,would you be angry at them? Ofc you will be angry on them because they released it out of order. Same with Gloob but there is a reason why Gloob do this as shown on the next tweet right here.
I think that's why Gloob released these episodes this Monday because if they don't released it rn,it gonna get worse. So,that's why.
And,I will conclude my essay with this tweet.
YEP! LITERALLY,STOP IT!

If you don't know who they were talking,it's them.(Idk what pronouns i should use)
But don't worry,I already reported this to Twitter.(P.S.:I'm afraid that if I posted this,I might be allegedly doxxed them,so,I'm not a saint but I'll do what I could do to bring justices to our community. And please,tell me if I doing something wrong,it's never too late to informed me.)
(If you don't know what Thomas is famous for,this post is for you)
Because he literally tweeted that Simpleman is the best episode in S4(according to him).
No joke,there is numerous cases that Thomas will blocks fans with no reason at all.
Yeah,he does.
Accurate,but I'm not so sure if he's actually interacts with those who are racist and harassing people(if there is a proof).
We also didn't know that.
Constructive criticism,yeah but racism,bullying and harassment? Idk.
That's the clarification of this incident.
Yeah,same.
Yeah....not the harshest statement there but...accurate.
Nope.....not al all.
But my favorite response of them all......THIS..!
Say that to Thomas and I guaranteed that he will block you.
Yeah,where was he? I know that he's busy but at least he,as the creator of the show,should listen to the fans and taking actions if any malicious things happened like the leaks,for example. But so far,nothing happens from both Thomas and Zag,plus the mole who leaks the scene go unscathed. So,that's why,we,the fans who still devoted to the show,should make our voices heard because every voices matters so that this show can survive and things can run smoothly if the fans was there.

The lore(commonly known as the love square)is a mess but shouldn't taking it seriously.
If they say Adrienette is canon,that's it.Full stop.
You can ship somebody else like Lukagami but we don't know what will happen to them.(Except DJWifi because they love each other and a great couple too👍)
But to me personally,I don't want to dive into the love square and I don't want to be involve in this matter because it can sometime be an fierce argument or even a bad debate.That's why I don't want to be involve into the love square.
I badly want(like BADLY,BADLY😬😬 want)an episode where Marinette get akumatized(and able to transform into an akuma,please).
Every time,I'm thinking about what would it be like when Marinette get akumatized(like LITERALLY.EVERY.SINGLE.FUCKING.DAY).🤔🤔
I hope that Marinette get akumatized ASAP because I CAN'T WAIT ANY LONGER!(finger crossed🤞🤞)😠😠
