the miraculous movie was... interesting

the movie has its flaws but as someone that’s tired of the horrible writing choices in the show, it was so refreshing and satisfying and above all: the animation is STUNNING

the fact that Christina Vee is literally a singer first and foremost... WHY did they not let her sing!! unreal

also i hate how marionettes voice actor and singing actor are different people bc IT IS SO NOTICEABLE

The movie is objectively okay/meh but DEAR GOD it’s such a breath of fresh air. The fact it did EVERYTHING the show still hasn’t done in five seasons is mindblowing. Utter proof Astruc is a damn hack.

The movie felt a bit rushed but I liked it even more than the season 5 finale.

the characters feel more fleshed out somehow?? despite the movie being pretty rushed i feel like they really show the different aspects of their personalities so well. i also love the fact that they made a point to say that ladybug and chat noir are STRONGER TOGETHER it heals my stop-sidelining-adrichat heart

Does anyone else feel like characters are just more likeable in this movie?? I didn’t get frustrated with them like in the show. Their interactions feel more natural and less forced and cheesy. The dynamic between chat noir and ladybug was just chefs kiss. Everything I wish the show could be.

Adrien is SO teenage boy in the movie and I really like that. Both of them feel a lot more like teenagers. The angst, the self doubt, the delusion and romanticisation. It all just feels a lot more genuine. Also, I like musicals but I wasn’t really feeling it. That is 100% personal opinion tho. I didn’t really vibe that hard with any of the songs, but I do appreciate how they grounded an otherwise quite fast paced movie. It helped the pacing to have those slower moments where the characters got to reflect about feelings and the audience could take in all that had just happened

I was disappointed with Fu's explanation of the Butterfly Miraculous too. Like, Gabriel is abusing it, that's not the intended use! The Butterfly's ability is to create allies and grant temporary powers.

Nino being in love with Alya from the start of the movie instead of liking marinette first is something I absolutely adored and marinette crush for Adrien was less obsessive compared to the show and it felt more like she ACTUALLY loves him instead of just obsessing over him. As someone who stopped watching the show after season 3, I love the movie so much its not perfect but its so good and ended way better than the show did. But tikkis song >>> best song i take no arguments

Me in the first 15 minutes of the miraculous movie: Girl what is this musical bullsh*t 💀 Me halfway through: I'm liking this. This is getting interesting... Me at the end: sobbing I love this movie.

Love how Marinette isn’t a cringe psychopath stalker in the movie :)

Honestly Marinette and Adrien both just felt more real. Like Mari gets embarrassed by her dad and that hurts his feelings. Adrien yells at his father. Ladybug is extremely self conscious and doesn’t think she can do it for a while. Cat noir is almost a little meaner. They both have character traits that portray them as less than perfect. Because I feel like in the show they’re both perfect little angels that just have bad stuff happen to them.

Tikki and plagg already chose the holders... They were flying towards their holders. That's why Master Fuu said "OH NOW I UNDERSTAND WHY IT'S U" meaning he understood why tikki flew towards her, chose her, because she saved a life, she can save a world. So it was more like a destiny. Also, Gabe went in the prison and akumatized literal CRIMINALS, making his own army. Which is so freaking smart, gotta give him that.

After the last season letting us down (ESPECIALLY with Adrien/Chat Noir character "development"), this movie felt like I was finally breathing fresh air again. Sure, it has lots of flaws, but it's so... simple. Like how it used to be, y'know? Ladynoir fighting together against Hawk Moth. And I felt chills and nostalgic. The movie did the justice for us, I absolutely love it.

Adrien's scene with careless Whisper was amazing . I will never forget this man and his emotions❤

I feel like people either LOVE this movie or absolutely hate it. I liked it, it just isn’t anything special and it had its pros and cons. I cant wait to hear your thoughts on it! <33

Regarding the Emilie jumpscare. I think it’s implied Nathalie is going to try to revive her against Gabriel’s wishes. The narration we hear as Nathalie enters the chamber seems to me like it was made before the events of the movie. Not to mention Gabe gave up the Butterfly and we see police cars approach him in the shot we see from the helicopter’s perspective, so not only is he reformed but he’s presumably doing time in jail.

I felt Gabriel’s musical number was so out of character for who his character was in the moment. Gabriel had so much more internal conflict with his desires than show Gabriel but in a single musical number, he was eating up the Dr. Facilier persona. It didn’t make sense to me how he went from “This is a mighty price to pay” to “I’m going to kick a baby because I can” in the span of 30 seconds
