Anyone else notice that Miraculous and Camp Camp do similar things in their episodes, and Camp Camp does them much better?
When it comes to characters being good friends, In Scout’s Dishonor, Neil is made to believe Nikki left the Flower Scouts because, “They were totally boring, so I bailed,” when, in reality, the Flower Scouts ran her out for not being feminine. Once he finds out the truth, he immediately turns on the Flower Scouts, after spending the day hitting it off with them, and bails with Nikki (“Y’all are some ignorant ****ing c**ts!”). Meanwhile, in Volpina, what’s the matter, writers? Did you think that just because Adrien was kept off-screen and we were treated to the totally hilarious visual of Marinette chewing on the Grimoire that was just in the trash, no one would notice that Adrien just has no reaction to Lila insulting someone she claims to be friends with and who he’s in love with?
When it comes to acceptance of the truth, throughout Camp Camp, David knows deep down that he’ll never get Max to like Camp Campbell, but he doesn’t stop trying to. In Cult Camp, he doesn’t notice the other warning signs of Daniel being a cult leader until Max throws himself into Daniel’s “Purification Sauna” and happily exclaims, “I love you, Daniel!” Instead of being happy that Max finally loves something and refusing to look deeper into it, David realizes that something is wrong (“But that’s not right. Max doesn’t love anything.”). Meanwhile, in Puppeteer 2 and Ladybug, Cat Noir falls for two fake Ladybugs luring him into obvious traps by claiming their love for him. Cat Noir should know by this point that Ladybug does not view him romantically and wouldn’t change her mind just like that until Season 5, yet in the former episode, he only finds out about the trick by smelling the wax on the Ladybug wax figure, and in the latter, he mistakes the real and Sentimonster Ladybugs for each other just because the Sentimonster told him what he wanted to hear. Great job showing us how trustworthy he is, writers.
Even minor things like Morse code. In Robostus, the new mayor starts their speech by beeping the first few letters of “Citizens”, and then just gives up and beeps random letters. How you mess up Morse code when there’s an actual translator for it, I have no idea, but I’m not surprised. Meanwhile, in Space Camp Was a Hoax, several reactors didn’t even need a translator to tell them that Neil tells Space Kid to “**CK OFF!”
