Okay so I have so many conflicting thoughts about the Miraculous Ladybug Awakening movie I canāt really express it well so hereās a list of things I like and dislike about it. Spoilers under the cut.
Ā things i like about the miraculous movie:
marinette's family is so wholesome
the songs are pretty good especially Hawkmoth's even though they are generic kids movie pop songs usually
the animation is beautiful
Nathalie is a better parental figure for Adrien
Gabriel is a better character all around
The new character designs
Ladybug & Cat Noir's dynamic is more realistic for teens
The kwamis are better characters I like how they had more of a say in their holders
The kwamis having a realistic form and a kwami form
Nino is a better character
Marinette gaining confidence through being Ladybug and sticking up for herself
Adrien politely turning down Marinette instead of being dense
Adrien's mom having a meaningful backstory and seeeing them as a family
Overall has a good message of being yourself and helping others
The voice acting is 1000/10 for most lines
The background characters look awesome not as many repeats unless it's on purpose
Marinette's not just obsessed with Adrien she cares equally about her dreams, her family, Ladybug's mission, Cat Noir, her friends and, Adrien.
The heros have to work harder to save the day
Adrien has character flaws! He's more like Cat Noir even as a human boy!
Cat Noir and Ladybug are equally powerful and work better as a team
Hawkmoth actually is good at being a villain and the damage to people and Paris is way more meaningful
HAWKMOTH IS A GOOD FATHER FINALLY
GABRIEL'S BACKSTORY IS BETTER
Sabrina doesn't suck(I hate the show Sabrina sheās as bad as Chloe and Lila just too cowardly to own it because she knows itās wrong but does it anyway)
The ending is so good even though itās cheesy
things i dislike about the miraculous movie:
the changing voice actors for the singing is so strange it feels like theyāre lip syncing the entire movie
some cringe lines like "she's a hero no, she's a she-ro"
Gorilla is gone???? Why???
How Gabriel got the butterfly miraculous
Alya's only personality trait is being Marinette's bestie and Ladybug's fan and into Nino like nothing about her as a person just her relationship to everyone else
The tuning for some of the songs sounds so fake
Adrien shutting people out after his momās death makes 0 sense for the character
The akumatized villains aren't as interesting or funny
Most jokes fell flat to me but I am older than the target audience
Important side characters in the show are completely ignored and their stories messed with for the sake of the movieās plot
