Miraculous is Garbage (and Here's Why)

Miraculous Ladybug is a French show made by Thomas Astruc and ZAG Studios. The series is about a girl named Marinette and a boy named Adrien who stop the machinations of the evil Hawk Moth. That sounds good but is actually terrible, join me as I sift through this wasted concept of a series and explain why its so bad.

The fact that the creator says Chloe a teenager with a bad home life is an irredeemable monster deeply disturbs me

Edit: This is not an excuse for her actions this is about how messed up the creator is for him to back peddle on her arc while saying she's not abused (physical is not the only kind of abuse) and calling an irredeemable monster

How can Marinette hate Chloe’s obsession with ladybug and not reflect that she herself acts even worse about Adrien

@maxilly12 3 years ago

I still don't get how HAWKMOTH, the person who terrorized Paris for a whole YEAR, constantly abused abused his son, and ggot Nataliehurt gets redeemed . But chloe, a 14-year old girl who just wants her mother's approval is "an irredeemable monster".

I found it really disappointing that the only reason Marinette wanted to go to China was bc Adrien was going to be there. Was it so hard to just have her want to go to China to travel, have fun, practice her Chinese, spend time with her family and learn more about her heritage? And just have Adrien there as a funny coincidence, his dad was doing business there or something.

I was a teen girl once and even though I had huge crushes, I still had other things going on in my life outside of the guy I liked.

@aguywithalotofopinions412 3 years ago

I think the main problem with Adrien and Marinette is that they don't really like each other, they like the masks they put up. Marinette treats Ladybug like a job so she has to be this hypercompetent badass but that's not how she normally is, but that's who Adrien fell for. And Adrien's whole civilian life is kind of an act so he treats Chat Noir as an escape where he can be himself, away from expectations, but Marinette doesn't like that guy, she likes polite, repressed, Adrien.

Marinette having adhd and adrien having autism is the realest headcanon I’ve ever heard for this show

@20Dare_Devil 3 years ago (edited)

The creator (Thomas) annoys me a lot. The fact that his fans know more about his characters than he does himself. He says that Chloe doesn’t have any trauma or isn’t being abused by her mum, when we have seen loads of episodes where Chloe’s mum keeps forgetting her name, and other things that show she’s being abused by her mum. She’s not being abused physically by her mum but she is mentally. Thomas then says Chloe is a monster and can’t be redeemed, yet he had shown loads of episodes where she does get redeemed. He’s honestly the most dumbest writer i’ve ever seen.

And I honestly think Thomas hates Adrien, because in the first few seasons he was always sacrificing himself. Adrien never got to know that Hawkmoth is Gabriel in season 5, but Marinette did. The few seasons were super repetitive which is one reason why the show flop. I think the episodes were also rushed, just watch the episodes and look how fast it’s going.

And because fans don’t like the show, a lot of them are remaking it. Including me lol

What I find disturbing abt Thomas is that he based Marinette's parents off himself and his ex girlfriend Sabine, claiming Marinette was their "virtual child"

@astxrism8236 3 years ago (edited)

So basically Thomas is trying to say that Gabriel, the abusive, neglectful, horrible, and awful father, is more redeemable than Chloe, a neglected, abused girl who is clearly affected by her past. And even went as far as to paint him as a hero.
At the very least, I expected Adrien to take SOME PART in recreation considering Gabriel is his father, but instead, he played the damsel in distress. Amazing. Just great. I've never seen anything worse.

I also always thought how stupid it was that Marinette can't get akumatized. I mean, she literally had about 2-3 mental breakdowns, crying and feeling worthless and lost, and yet Hawk Moth was in the 4th dimension or something, because a guy who gets upset he can't feed pigeons is sadder than a mental breakdown. I'd also like to think that if Marinette WAS akumatized, Cat Noir would finally be able to have the spotlight and not seem thrown away for once.

Lets face it. Every fan rewrite is better than what Thomas did.

@Theowolfboy1969 3 years ago

Things I wanted from this show:
1. Chloe to actually be a good person and keep being queen bee
2. The identity reveal and let the main two date without time reversal bs
3. Cat and ladybug to both be guardians of the miraculous box

@mirror2760 3 years ago

THANK YOU. I've never seen anyone else talk about how much the creator seems to hate women that aren't Marinette. It always struck me as odd the way he completely villainized them only to have Mari do smth similar and have it shrugged off.

@toadtv4389 3 years ago

I hate when people say shit like "Miraculous is for kids, dont be so serious about", THAT'S EXACTLY WHY WE NEED TO BE SERIOUS ABOUT IT, IT'S HARMFUL FOR CHILDREN

@sushigooo8061 3 years ago

Tomas treats Adrien like Gabriel does. Not wanted, and ignores until needed for display as an object. Adrien deserves so much better. As both a writer and someone with CPTSD and possible autism like him, it’s sad to see what they do with him or rather, lack there of.

@perrilewis180 2 years ago

The way Marinette acts around Adrien shows that there were no women writers. She's basically his ready-made stepford wife. She's literally nothing without him

@joeljohansson3615 3 years ago

About Marinette's stalking. Thank you for agreeing that she is a stalker. People say that it's normal for teenagers to act like that and that it's suppose to be exaggerated. How is following your crush to another fucking continent normal or exaggerated!? And this is a kids show! And saying that kids won't care about that because they're kids is bullshit too.

Sure kids don't really understand what obsession is, but they can see Marinette's behavior as something normal and take after it. Thomas Asstruc really messed up.

@Orkprof 3 years ago

PERSONAL HEADCANON: after season 3, Chloé is replaced by a lookalike paid by Astruc. Real Chloé has moved to New York and is growing into a better person. 😂

As a woman I honestly find Thomas' claim of the show being "feminist" insulting. Essentially what he does is sideline a guy to the point of irrelevance to make a girl the leader, which unfortunately implies that if the guy was a bit more relevant the girl wouldn't be more than a sidekick, that the only way for a girl to be the main character is if you kill any chance for the guy to hold his ground - feminism is about reaching equality, Thomas is all about pitting men and women against each other (what will he do when he finds out non-binary people exist.... the world war of genders......)
