I think my favorite episode of miraculous ladybug is the one where ladybug and chat noir punch hawkmoth in the face and then get married right on screen. a very underrated episode. i mean their wedding vows were just so sweet why does no one talk about it
'Omg it was so vile to keep Adrien away from the final fight against hawkmoth. Can't believe they did this'
YALL WHAT DO YOU THINK THE POINT OF CHAT BLANC AND EPHEMERAL WERE!?!?!?
Adrien cannot fight his father. He can't do it. Not only because he's a fucking sentimonster, bit because Gabriel can take advantage of him so easily when he reveals its all for his mother.
'But he fought his father in Representation' but he wasn't being faced between the prospect of betraying his only family or betraying the love of his life then. He was just an angry teenager who had been pulled from his home. No moral dilemma just anger.
Adrien is not emotionally intelligent enough to chose between his mother and Marinette.
If Adrien was there, they would have fucking lost. THAT was the point of Chat Blanc and Ephemeral.
@samsimisauser asked me yesterday who the woman next to Nathalie was, i.e. the main defining question as to what actually went on here. I've been putting off answering it because I don't know. My first thought when watching the show was Emilie, but I have heard plenty of very compelling evidence against it.
So let's review the most popular or plausible theories:
Both Emilie and Nathalie got resurrected
Only Nathalie got resurrected/saved, the figure next to her is Amilie
Emilie got resurrected, Nathalie got healed by Fei with completely unrelated magic somewhere off-screen
Neither Nathalie nor Emilie got resurrected, those are Amilie and Nathalie’s identical twin cousin Nethelie. In this scenario Gabriel’s wish was to trade his final few hours for a garden swimming pool.
It’s Mister Banana in disguise
Chloé has changed her makeup routine
Holograms!
It's Nathalie disguised as Amilie and Lila disguised as Nathalie, while Nino is disguised as the Gorilla
There was never an Amilie and Emilie, it was just one woman named Æmilie who moved around very quickly and fooled everyone. When that became too difficult she decided to play dead and become Amilie exclusively
It was all a dream, starting from Mister Pigeon 72.
It's Amelie, Emilie is off making more salad.
Given how coy the creators have been on Twitter, saying only "it's perfectly obvious you're overcomplicating things", it really could be any one of them, and of course they aren't mutually exclusive.
I want you to be grateful that you're going through this sad moment with all these other folks. Because I promise you, there is something worse out there than being sad, and that is being alone and being sad. Ain't nobody in this room alone. (insp.)
