I find it really interesting we can't see Gabriel's face in the poster. Might just be my overanalyzing brain at work here but it feels like it's supposed to be symbolic for something. Eyes are the windows to the soul after all.

Meanwhile Chrysalis' eyes are glowing an even more intense blue.

Then there's the fact that they're in the direction away from the hero they have the deepest connection to. Adrien facing Gabriel and Marinette facing Lila.

So essentially Gabriel is still going to haunt the narrative for a little while longer it looks like. Doesn't exactly mean that Adrien won't learn the truth at the end of Season 6, but I think the fact we can't see Gabriel's eyes and Chat's expression are confirming that poor Adrien is going to go through it even harder with the reveal of his father being a super villain. Adrien feels even less sure about who exactly his father was as a person. So.... yeah the lie is going to definitely backfire.

As for Chrysalis, seems she's going full in on her villain persona and really showing she's emanating the same sort of vibe Monarch was. Honestly you could argue that Gabriel's Monarch era was perhaps the time he was all around his cruelest, which might mean Lila may become even crueler in her own actions to get back at Mari. (Or possibly Kagami if the theory about Lila being Tsurigi's daughter is true)

Ladybug's expression is something interesting too. She isn't shocked or angry, she's serious but... it's kind of a blank expression? Kind of in awe in a way? I don't know how to describe it... But you would think it would be determined or more considering all that's going on and the mental turmoil she's gone through Season 6. Maybe it's confirming that she might go through the mind wipe giving up her Guardianship?

OOOOOOOOORRRRRRRR, this could just be a wicked cool poster they dropped and I might be overanylysing but hey I love when shows or movies do the show don't tell sort of thing for the audience to see it!

In your personal opinion, is Miraculous Ladybug terribly written?

YES. In SO MANY ways more than one!

I think it’s flawed, but what series isn’t? It isn’t the worst one around.

Not really. People just look WAY too much into things and overreact.

Another answer that I would like to share *comments*

Dummy question, guys:

How exactly we went from "Two teen superheroes with 'mahou shoujo' stereotype fighting a 40 y.o. supervillain who only wanted to bring his wife back and have a happy family"...

... to "Sentimonsters, evil rich people, and 2 love-thirsty teenagers that still need to stop an idiot powerful white haired man who now wants to control everyone" as main plot??

Like, what xD

(Sorry for my bad english btw)

Alright, Since ML Season 5 has started, I'm going to just go ahead and put in one of my predictions for this season. Astruc's gonna make sure that Chloe is irredeemable before he leaves the writing team this season.

After all the character assassination he did to her last season and the season 3 finale, I highly doubt that Astruc is gonna give her the redemption arc she deserves. Especially with it comes to getting the Bee Miraculous back, Astruc's gonna put the nail in the "Chloe deserves a proper redemption arc" coffin.

Calling it now.

Edit: It has come to my attention that Astruc has been promoted to "Art supervisor" and will still be writing story arcs for the series. So it loos like will never be getting Chloe redemption arc.

I had a lot of fun watching Reflekdoll and there was so much of it I loved, but one thing did make me really sad:

[Spoilers for Reflekdoll]

By the end of the episode I thought Ladybug and Chat Noir were going to understand each other more in the way that “being LB isn’t easy” and “being CN isn’t all fun and games.” I thought it was going to be eye opening for CN and humbling for LB. I wanted CN to realize that being LB is stressful on her in a way that she doesn’t feel like she can crack jokes or relax and I wanted LB to realize that even though he’s silly, CN is capable and works so hard in his role.

But it wasn’t that at all... the entire episode was CN bascially saying “you’re right m’lady, this is difficult m’lady, I see why you take things so seriously m’lady, I was wrong m’lady, you’re the important one here, not me, m’lady.”

There was no... reciprocation or appreciation on LB’s part? :c All she mentioned was “yeah, it’s nice not having all the responsibility and just being able to goof off,” which felt really disrespectful to CN? When CN said he wouldn’t be able to be a hero without her, she gave no acknowledgement to her needing him either. :ccc

She didn’t tell him thank you, she didn’t tell him how much she appreciates him, how much he means to her as a hero, while CN showered her with appreciation and compliments and positive things.

It all made my heart hurt a lot. They’re supposed to be a team, but it just felt... so “LB is right and smart, and CN is wrong and doesn’t know what he’s doing,” when it’s so important to be for them to be equal with each other with mutual respect for each other. :C

I’m hoping this was maybe the set up for a future episode where LB loses CN, maybe in the Chat Blanc episode? Where she realizes how important he is to her and how much she relies on their teamwork.

Miraculous Ladybug Fans! Today I want your opinion: Do you think Season 3 of Miraculous Ladybug started up too fast? Were you satisfied with the first episode of Season 3? 

[heartsongslight]

Huge thank you to @gds-worblr for bringing up we've gotten another poster revealed at the Annecy Festival! So let's have them both together and compare them!

First thing to note is Chrysalis and Gabriel both look unchanged, but what has changed are Ladybug and Chat Noir's positions and expressions.

Right away this almost looks like a before with the Annecy Festival poster and the one they dropped days before on their socials as the after as they ready up to battle. Or it could be the reverse given how we've been seeing how the secret has been playing out as of late.

Instead of angry Chat has a look of shock and fear. He also has his weapon lowered further emphasizing he's more shocked than scared. Chat by this point for sure would most likely have his bo staff out in a way to protect him and for sure Ladybug even if he's frightened. Something he's proven in the show time and time again.

Ladybug meanwhile, doesn't have her yo-yo out as her own expression is in shock and fear as well. Except her hands are open in a way when you're not just startled, but when you've been caught. You know the whole "Hand caught in the cookie jar" sort of thing. And we the audience know that could mean one huge thing for her to be caught for.

The Lie.

So, this may mean that Season 7 truly will see the Lie be revealed to be that, a lie. Considering the fact we have Chrysalis and Gabriel behind them, it may be hinting what many people have been theorizing. That unfortunately for Marinette and Adrien the lie could very much be revealed by the worst person to do so.

Not Marinette or Ladybug herself, not Alya, not Nathalie, not Felix or Kagami... But the one person who would use this lie to happily inflict as much pain as she can to not just Mari, but to Adrien as well. Because if Adrien is heartbroken, then that only hurts Marinette more. And Lila would want nothing more than to hurt Ladybug and Marinette more than anything thanks to her obsession with her.

Lila may truly cause chaos doing the opposite of what she's done since she's been introduced. Reveal the truth...

And if we take into the idea that the poster on the right is the after when the lie is revealed, Chat being absolutely furious would make sense. Complicated feelings of his father aside Adrien still loves him. She's essentially tarnishing his name, speaking ill of the dead. Considering he's seemingly made "Peace" about who his father was thanks to Lady Chaos, he won't take kindly to it. But more importantly his love and trust for Ladybug. Chrysalis revealing such a thing, essentially saying Ladybug lied to Adrien, to Chat, to the entire world about who Gabriel was? How could he not be furious? He'll see it as Chrysalis being cruel and just wanting to tear them apart and he won't let it happen.

That would also explain Ladybug's expression. Her weapon is out and she's ready to fight, but her expression shows she's not all in it. She's probably absolutely growing with guilt and horror at not just the truth bring brought to light, but how Chat is defending her.

Because he's wrong, Ladybug did lie. And yet here he is defending her as if she hadn't done just that.

Again I could just be overanalyzing these, but I will say it does look like we are getting something big for season 7 for both Ladybug and Chat Noir. Along with the fact that the lie absolutely is going to come out at some point, the biggest question is will it happen in the Season 6 Finale?

Or is this hinting we're going to get full fledged reactions from both of them in Season 7? Because honestly considering we've spent a whole season building the tension with the lie we absolutely deserve to see Adrien's full reaction and the consequences of the Lie itself.

Season 7 feels like it is going to be absolutely intense...
