The Miraculous Timeline Makes ZERO Sense!⎮A Miraculous Ladybug Season 5 Discussion

And when you think that mr.pigeon has been akumatised at least 74 times it makes even less sense

Seriously, it doesn’t make sense. They’ve celebrated Christmas, Valentines Day, Kings Day (which is in January) and spring break (in different seasons!) and Adrien’s only been at school for 9 months?! I’m so confused and happy you’re talking about this.

At this point the only reasonable solution is that Gabe's a freaking weirdo and meant 9 months as in Adrien has physically spent 6574 hours inside the school building 😂

Maybe Bunnix was having some fun. 😂

What's even funnier is that in Heroes day they specifically mention that it has been a year since the heroes debuted

There's no way everything we had on the show happened in less than a year, whoever works on this series sometimes doesn't understand what they're talking about or just doesn't care...

I never realized how messy the Miraculous ladybug timeline was😂

Correct me if im wrong but im pretty sure Adrien said in the Christmas episode that it's his first Christmas without his mom but if his mom has been in coma for 100 weeks (which is almost 2 years), how is it his first Christmas without his mom, do they celebrate Christmas on the 29th of February???? I could be wrong though

A couple of missed points: 1) Madame Bustier announced her pregnancy in the NY special. By thier timeline logic, she should be barely showing, not a massive bump. 2) In Sapotis we can see a DVD release of a movie that supposedly hadn't been made yet, being the in universe Ladybug and Cat Noir Movie that gets released in cinemas in Animaestro.

As a Miraculous Fanfic writer, the timeline drives me insane. Even in Ephemeral when Gabe says "100 weeks" I thought that was pretty short, but I thought that was the final say that it had been 2 years and they just had identical classes and teachers for the second year. I was quite shocked when season 5 suggested that it's been a single school year! When writing, I usually have to come up with my own timeline and just say "that's how I'm going to do it" and then move on.

Meanwhile in our universe, we’ve all aged 7 years 🫠

Even worse is that in Miraculous World Shanghai Marinette says that is the start of the summer vacation.

There is no Miraculous-timeline. Things just happen. 😂 (Just like there’s no X Men-movies-timeline.)

I agree this denotes sloppy writing. I just went in thinking "No matter what time frame they give, ignore it". I've found they have more of a fan fiction style of shoehorning whatever makes them feel good for that particular episode for the story. I am betting they don't even remember setting that 9 months timeline. It's probably more like 2 years. But they forget to hardline set that

Something changed after S1. Season 1 stands out, it is different, the characters are different; I think tere was some writer in the team that is not there anymore. I think it was planned for each Season to be a year, but Thomas said "screw it, Spongebob doesn't have a timeline so neither do I!"

If I had to guess, I'd say that the timeline didn't matter to them when they started. They only mentioned certain dates because they had to or because it was a fun idea to use certain holidays or important dates in French culture. But as time went on, it became apparent that certain things did have to have an established timeline, and so they're now stuck scrambling to salvage what they can.

Don’t forget, Shanghai takes place during SUMMER! So, there’s the timeline automatically down the drain LOL

Also, when monarch turned the miraculouses into rings, they made it clear that transition took at least a month for him to do. Honestly, if they could just change the line in that episode from “it’s been 9 months since Adrien started school” to “it’s been a year and 9 months…” that would make much more sense

Fun Fact: In Timebreaker (Season 1) Tom Dupain and his wife celebrated their Twentieth Wedding Anniversary. Then in Bakerix (Season 3) it's revealed that he'll be 40 years old. When you then consider that time must have passed between those two episodes this means that Tom Dupain married Sabine with only 19 years old. And honestly, I'm not even surprised because according to the show you get your partner with 13-14 years anyway without there being any relationship problems or breakups (except if it’s an unwanted relationship that prevents the two protagonists to get together).

They shouldn't have said anything. Despite them being in High school this whole time I just thought each season was happening in one year and just never questioned it
