If you'd asked me two years ago if I'd ever be putting off watching MLB episodes, I wouldn't have believed you, yet here we are. This happened for two reasons, the first being that Gloob premiered a number of these and with every apology to people with strong feelings about the Brazillian voice crew, I just cannot with that dub.

The second being that I was watching this show on the assumption that it was going to pursue a number of themes and character arcs that maybe weren't particularly novel, but were certainly deeply rooted in the tangles of our heroes and our villains, how they were connected and how they mirrored and contrasted each other in a myriad of significant ways.

Then "Kwami's Choice" came around and, uh.

Pissed all over that.

Am I salty because the story didn't go the way I wanted it to? Technically, but if so, it is because these storylines I apparently hallusinated were integral to what I thought this show was about. Without them, I'm left with a show that is... goofy in mostly good way. Good at being a silly comedy for kids. Not great at serialised storytelling and insultingly prone to hand-wave crucial story points, or just pretend they didn't happen. And perhaps most criminal: indifferent to its own characters.

I'll die on the hill that Miraculous Ladybug is well written on the account that most of its episodes, in isolation, are well-structured narratives that are exceedingly good at packing a lot of events into their rigid timeframes. But S5 has struggled with planting its plot across the episodes and introduced a narrative swerve so sudden that I refuse to believe it was planned from the start. It's just not good and without the promise of at least getting a fulfilling ending to what seemed to be the emotional backbone of the Agreste arc, I really don't have the patience to be nice about it.

I'm pretty sure "Revolution" is a banger episode, but from what I'm hearing about the rest of them, the expectations aren't high.

Let's go, "Migration", which will put the bullet to another plotline they never did mean to take anywhere after all, but at least puts my least favourite character on a bus.

Also my darling boy Bob finally gets the akumatisation he deserves. Small mercies.

I think that Miraculous Ladybug is a very good monster-of-the-week superhero show.

I also think the attempts at giving it A Plot are... not going so great.

Sony to Louis:

[currently-amazing]

You know when it’s all said and done, there’s something I just can’t wrap my head around.

It’s this:

That Harry smiled along while his team baited fans at his listening parties with Louis’ music.

That takes a special type of person.

Hindsight gives you 20/20 vision..the picture is just not always the kindest.
