i just watched the shanghai special so it’s time for my opinions ! if you don’t know where to find it, here is the link to the website i used :)
MASSIVE SPOILERS
• can they stop. i’m not even kidding anymore. it’s pissing me off how creepy they’re making mari. and i’m coming for the writers in this mini-rant, because it’s annoying me so much. they could have easily made it so mari wanted to go to shanghai because she wanted to learn about her culture, and adrien happened to be there too. there was no reason to have it like that. it was making me so sad how her uncle/mum/dad were all so excited for her to learn about china, but the only reason she went was because she wanted to see adrien. it’s obsessive, it’s creepy, and they should not be promoting that behaviour to kids.
• it bothers me how they’re styling the akumatized versions of east asian characters. i hated furious fu’s design, and don’t even get me started on silver fan man (the akumatized guy in the special, i can’t remember his name). why does there need to be some form of chinese written on them?? it’s just weird.
now, onto the good things!
• despite the problems i had with it, i really loved it. i definitely prefer it over the new york special.
• I LOVED THE PRODIGOUS STORYLINE. OHMYGOD. it was so fucking cool. when fei transformed i got goosebumps, i swear to god. i can’t wait to see if they bring it into any future episodes and/or specials!
• marifei anyone...? the bike scene was fruity thats all im saying
• WHEN CHAT ‘DIED’ I LOST IT OH MY GOD
• can adrien and mari get over themselves. everyone thinks you guys are dating. THERES A REASON FOR THAT. stupid idiots. i love them.
• we were so stupid for thinking we were gonna get a marichat scene. how dare they tease us like that. so rude. (but it’s okay, because marifei <3)
• i love fei. she’s so fucking cool and i have the biggest crush on her. i loved her storyline and i really want to see more of her in future episodes and specials!
• can gabriel just give up. bruh. he keeps getting beat by a two kids with magic jewellery. what an L.
