I really feel like every time a franchise tries to copy what Spiderverse did, they misunderstand why people like Spiderverse

Spiderverse put their whole pussy into every aspect of the films and every copycat tried emulating it by reducing it to a gimmick

▲ + Jealousy

Bill glared at the cat that was sitting in Dipper’s arms. It had been there for HOURS! Just purring and being too damn cute for its own good. Bill would have pouted but he wouldn’t give the furry little creature the satisfaction of knowing that it was getting under his skin. 

Dipper glances at the triangle sitting on the back of the couch, and had to suppress a giggle, who would have figured that the ALL POWERFUL BILL CIPHER would get jealous over a pet kitten. “aww does Bill want some pets too?” Dipper teased his boyfriend and Bill glared with his one eye. 

“You know cats are EVIL! Right?!” Bill hissed at him.

Dipper reached over and picked Bill up and plopped him right in his lap. Bill was ridiculous sometimes. “Well I have no problems with evil things, I kept you didn’t I?” Dipper laughed at the glare Bill gave him.

If The Wish really just lets you specifically choose the coresponding price, that just makes it even more baffling why Maribug couldn't have used its power in a clever way. Here's one way they could've used it: Maribug has Viperion on stand-by in case anything goes wrong. She then has a big announcement that she's going to reveal her secret identity on a livestream handled by the Ladyblog. She reveals her secret identity to everyone watching, and then uses the power of The Wish to regain her annonymity in exchange for Hawkmoth losing his.

I'm convinced that the crew added the whole "rewriting the universe/timeline/whatever" because the equal exchange would be so easy to circumvent, but even then, you could just have Maribug use Viperion to undo it and carry the knowledge of Hawkmoth's identity back to the actual timeline.

IMO, the price of The Wish should have been that whoever used it would be overloaded with more "quantic energy" or whatever than the human body could handle and would thus basically die, but in a kid show friendly "fate worse than death" sorta way, where they just cease to exist.

YOURE RIGHT AND THAT MAKES ME MAD JFJDKDVDKDJDJDKS

I doubt Lila knowing the secret identities is going to play a big role. I think this is literally gonna be a repeat of the previous "arc", with Lila using a new identity to do exactly what she did before. Maybe this time Marinette will be oblivious too, although I think they would just use that to go "Look! Anyone could have fallen for her lies!" and just not have Marinette believe whoever is on to Lila now (probably Adrien or Alya). Or it'll be a complete repeat of what happened before with Marinette being on to her and no one believing her.

Oh I don’t expect it to either, just that it would be nice if if it did. Wouldn’t be surprised if they just rehash the exact same situation 😕

I'm a little confused by the Mary Sue anon before. While I personally object to the "world only exists around Marinette" thing, because, like, she barely interacts with Gabriel who is the main villain, and we see things happening outside of her world view, albeit more in season 1, I will admit that all that is very subjective.

What I will object to is the "Marinette's jealousy led to outing Fu's ID" point, as well as the point that the show swept away the consequences of Miracle Queen.

Marinette did not give away Fu's ID; that was his girlfriend (Marianne I think her name was?) in Backwarder. And while you could argue the misunderstanding leading to that situation was caused by jealousy (Marinette wrote a confession letter to Adrien and it, alongside the letter to Marianne and the prescription all got swapped around), I would argue that if Marianne had read Fu's overdramatic letter, she would have had the same reaction, considering Fu was acting like he was dying.

If the Anon is referring to Miracle Queen, I will admit that my info is second hand since I stopped watching the show at that time, but I was under the impression that Marinette leading Love Eater or whatever that akuma was called to Fu, was because she got distracted from seeing Adrien and Kagami together, leading to her not detransforming before seeing Fu; you could easily argue that if she hadn't gotten distracted and did detransform, Gabriel would have figured out her identity.

And we're meant to believe that Marinette picking the Dragon miraculous in order to get Kagami away from Adrien was the wrong call, because she should have used the Bee, but at this point in the series, Marinette has already decided that Chloe is not getting the bee miraculous anymore, so if she had picked the bee, Chloe would have just gotten even more upset that Ladybug had replaced her.

Finally I want to touch on the last point, that the consequences of these mistakes were swept under the rug by the show (Chloe being retconned as having always been evil, Fu preferring his life as an amnesiac), but that's ignoring the consequences that arguably affect Marinette the most; due to Fu giving up guardianship, Marinette became a guardian before her training was complete. She lost the one adult ally she had as a superhero and had even more responsibility and weight placed on her shoulders. Fu's replacement in the form of Su-han does nothing to train her, and is more of a hindrance than a help (does he ever teach her the technique he used to avoid akumatization?), and then you have the fact that Gabriel got the translated grimoire, allowing him to use the Peacock miraculous without consequences and even combine it with the Butterfly.

Gabriel having the translated grimoire also allowed him to almost immediately circumvent Marinette's Lucky Charms with the Megakumas. And let's not forget that Marinette also lost any remaining privacy, now having to babysit the other kwamis who start causing trouble for her in the very first episode and refuse to listen to her, and that Marinette being guardian is what allowed Felix's miraculous stealing plan to work, thus resulting in Season 4 ending with Gabriel having all the miraculous.
