I was checking out both of your list of the worst episodes of ML and while I’ll admit that I do like some of the episodes on that list (don’t worry, Felix is not one of my favorites), I think you did expressed your opinion on a very comprehensive way that made me understand the problems you have with those episodes.
But there are two episodes that I hate so much I can’t even decide which one is worse, but I never saw in any list of worst episodes of ML. Those were “Weredad” and “Chrismaster”
Weredad was simply the episode that violated and assassinated Marichat for me. I know that you have your issues with Adrien/Chat Noir but you have to admit they did him really dirty in this episode. Also, this episode made me really hate Marinette, like really hate. She constantly lies on that episode at the point her dad gets akumatized and her partner is almost beaten to death, and not only does she gets away with everything she caused, but she didn’t learned nothing from that episode as well.
Chrismaster gave me mental scars, it was just stupid from start to finish. I kid you not, I couldn’t sleep after I saw it from the first time and never touched again from who bad it was. Marinette is far from being a saint and you’re telling me that she’s the most well behaved kid in the entire world ?! B*llsh*t
I’m sorry if I sounded stresse, but I really needed to take it off of my chest. Anyway, do you have any thoughts on those episode? Have you ever considered to do a rant on other episodes? I’m always looking forward at reading your post.
Don’t worry, I get your anger. I personally found those two middle of the road in the third season, but I wouldn’t consider them immune to criticism.
First of all, why didn’t they call Tom’s akuma form Papa Wolf? Come on, man! It was right there!
But yeah, this episode is a prime example of the show shooting down opportunities for Love Square development, one side at a time. Just wait, this season, we’ll probably get an anti-Ladrien episode.
I also found it weird that they have Sabine tell Cat Noir that he “shouldn’t apologize for his feelings”, yet she doesn’t even go up to comfort her (supposedly) crying daughter.
Then there’s the whole bit with Tikki and Plagg acknowledging how tired they are of the Love Square, which is less funny and more insulting. It’s basically the writers’ way of saying “Hey, the Love Square sure has been going on for a while, hasn’t it? How funny is it that we said that without actually doing anything about it?”
But yeah, not a good episode.
“Christmaster”, or as I like to call it, “Acid Trip”.
Honestly, there’s not much I can say about that episode because of how insane the action could get. I thought the titular Akuma giving his object to Ladybug to break was nice.
As for the whole “Ladybug being the most well-behaved kid in the world”, we should count ourselves lucky that Adrien isn’t that instead, given how often the show loves to remind us how amazing he is.
Honestly, this was actually pretty interesting to talk about. Maybe I can try quick episode reviews like this in the future...
