Not to say that Adrien was in the wrong for believing his eyes (because he wasn’t), but it is interesting that he was the first person in the show to have been “copycatted” and the possibility of it happening to Marinette didn’t cross his mind
I’m starting to believe that Adrien is doubtful about Gabriel being a hero. Like, he thinks it’s out of character for Gabriel to have sacrificed himself
With each passing episode, it becomes more and more clear to me that all of the adults in this show have something to do with Emilie Agreste’s disappearance and whatever made her fall ill. I'm talking the Agrestes, the Bourgeois, the Tsurugis, the Grand da Vanilys- all of them. I wouldn't even be surprised if Alix’s dad and Marinette’s parents were also involved somehow
We've got so many pieces, I'm just unsure of how they fit together

The new outfits and villains are cool and all, but I really just want to know about Adrien. Is Natalie looking after him full time? Why are his clothes wrinkled? Is Felix still in London? How long has it been since his Dad died? Is he in therapy?
There’s a lot of discourse around Kit with a bunch of people saying Kit x Jentry should’ve been endgame, but like, are we all just going to ignore that he’s a billion years older than her? Or that he went super possessive violent outburst stalker on her when she didn’t want to date him anymore?
ok we need to have a chat about Kit from Jentry Chau vs the Underworld
(as per usual long spoilers under the cut)
he is a great character, but you all are misunderstanding the point behind his reveal to Jentry as a painted skin
the show finally gives us the dignity to be accepting of a person for being different right out of the gate, like Jentry was surprised by Kit's true appearance, but not unaccepting
whereas other shows often like to give us the whole *you wouldn't like me because I'm different no I would I swear never mind you were right I don't like you anymore* Jentry Chau vs the Underworld gives Jentry a good reason for why she doesn't accept Kit
Jentry later explains herself very clearly to Kit and why she doesn't trust him, it's because he manipulated her, seduced her, tried to kill her, and did the one thing that everyone else does to her, the thing she hates most, he tried to use her to get what he wants
she can't trust that his feelings for her are real, and it's not just because he is a demon and his book entry says "can't feel emotion" or whatever, she has been given good reason to believe that the book is right and she shouldn't trust him, not because he was lying about being a demon, but because he tried to kill her at the orders of the man that she believed had murdered her parents, because he had planted a pearl on her that manipulated her desire to see her parents to lead her into a trap, because he had spied on her and pretended to also be into the things she likes just to get close enough to kill her, and his reasons for doing all of that were entirely selfish, he planned on trading her soul for a soul of his very own
Jentry eventually forgives Kit, but not because she has reconciled that he is a demon, she realizes that Kit is just like her, his manipulation wasn't his own plan, he is a pawn in someone else's game, like her he is being used by another party to get what they want, and like her he wants out
this prompts her to come up with a plan to get them both out of the game, if Jentry can transfer the powers that Flora and Cheng are fighting over from her to something else, then theoretically Flora would no longer need Jentry, and Cheng would no longer need Kit in order to get close to Jentry
she enlists Kit's help to achieve this objective, and it works (temporarily), freeing Jentry and Kit from the rivalry that they both wanted no part of
Kit then takes this opportunity to try and form a romantic relationship with Jentry, but she declines citing a need for "normalcy"
again, not because she doesn't accept him as a person, Jentry is doing everything she can to put her supernatural past behind her whether it's Cheng, the mogui, her gugu, her parents, her powers, Diyu, or ghosts, but she is content keeping friends around like Ed and Kit
and it's worth mentioning that Jentry noticed Kit's desire to be with her was entirely selfish and self serving, he wanted his own happiness no matter the cost, even if it meant stealing from Jentry, and his behavior around her was hardly rational, stalking her, smashing lockers, scaring her, he wasn't exactly trying to formulate a healthy relationship
she is later upset with Kit for breaking her trust once again, and stealing from her to achieve the same selfish goal as before
but Kit finds redemption in the end, not redemption for being a demon, redemption for being selfish, and he does this by sacrificing himself to save Jentry's life, something from which he had nothing to gain, and even admits what Jentry suspected, that his wanting to be with her was selfish, but he proved that he could be selfless and put others first
people are saying he got done dirty, but it was that sacrifice that made him not only a good person, but a good character that was capable of growing and evolving, and his absence from the rest of the show, suggesting that his death may have been permanent, made his sacrifice all the more meaningful
Jentry is hardly perfect, but she isn't the monster some have accused her of being
why wouldn't Jentry be accepting of a demon? Ed was a jiangshi, an undead demonic creature from Diyu that consumes qi much in the same way that the painted skin demon would, and he was one of her best friends
she saw the nü gui as a non-malicious friend to Ed, considered her gugu's ghosts to be helpful and nice, helped a dangerous little girl to return to the afterlife, didn't run off when she learned about Michael's powers, regarded niu tou and ma mian as non-evil forces just doing their job, considered Kit a friend after forgiving him, and helped Zhong Kui capture law breaking ghosts
she was constantly accepting of any super natural entity that wasn't a total dick, why would this be any different?
now I love Kit, and if there is a season 2, and I hope to god there is, I would love to see him return as well, but you gotta stop ragging on Jentry for just being rational, there are much better reasons why someone would be upset with her, but I just can't see the unaccepting angle
Maybe you should check Jentry Chau vs the underworld on Netflix ❤️🫰🔥

Not going to lie this is one of the best shows I've seen this year and it's so refreshing to have a cartoon for all ages to enjoy and also with some action, please go check it 🔥❤️
I haven't finished it, but we deserve another season..
Clark giving the biggest sigh of relief when Lois chose Metropolis not just because that means she’s staying but because he just spent time researching a city that has a designated “Crime Alley” and a man who runs around in a bat costume beating the shit out of criminals
taylor saying “he can be my jailer” in 2018, then saying “me locking myself away in my house for years — I’ll never get that time back” in the TIME issue a few months back after the breakup, and now releasing a song called “fresh out the slammer.” it’s never been more joever
