@@meyoffee7261 If I recall, in the french version she was dead, but in the english dub she was in a coma. Due to cultural differences. Another difference involved Marinette and Kagami drinking Juice. In french... They were drinking wine or alcoholic drinks, due to the legal age for Parisians is younger. Supposedly Astruc also wanted to do a Halloween special... But that is a more mature celebration in France, which is sad supposedly it was going to involve the catacombs and possibly a graveyard.
didn't know this was a complaint NGL 💀 Plagg wasn't the most dignified character to begin with in the series so this didn't really strike as a poor introduction imo
@happinn_ess3431wdym literally every character is better in the movie, Adrien is not a pussy that can't stand up to his father Marinette is not a creepy stalking person chloe is not a complete sociopath that pulls the most diabolic things known to man Gabriel actual cares for his son and so on. The movie did in an hour what the series couldn't do in 5 seasons.
My biggest gripe was the transition between Christina's LB voice acting to Lou's singing, it didn't even remotely match. At least Bryce's singer seemed to have a much smoother transition so I didn't mind too much with his songs. But surely, when Keith and Mela both are allowed to sing why couldn't Christina play her part, she's got a gorgeous voice. Especially these days when music is used in films and there's a push to have actors who can actually sing so the viewers can remain immersed. It just felt so jarring each time they went to her songs that it knocked my enjoyment each time.
I am so glad someone agree’s with me, like how it feels so jarring and like don’t get me wrong, she sounds great! But she dont sound like Marinette. I couldn’t really focus on the songs on 1st time watch -v-;
@@Butterenthusiasts no it wasn't Bryce singing, according to Spotify it's a singer called Square. I may have gotten their spelling incorrect, but it certainly wasn't Bryce.
I loved how Adrien was actually allowed to feel things outside of the love square this movie. Like his mom being dead and his dad sucking. It’s gotten better, but so often he just isn’t feeling anything about that stuff. This movie did it so well.
I loved the movie but wish it was paced better and that we had more interactions with plagg and adrien. Her movie dress was gorgeous and as a cosplayer I would love to recreate it. I made a dress similar for a cosplay of her a couple of years ago but the movie dress is just breathtaking.
The kwami’s were done dirty and imo we could have used more Chat Noir moments. They did undermine his character a bit but the show also does that so 🤷♀️ I’m just happy to finally get closure on some kind of identity reveal and the final battle and Hawk Moth reveal actually made me emotional and feel some sympathy for Gabriel vs the show
Like fr like Keith's voice and song is just chef kisses but ofc I love also the other songs but just Chaos reigns today is just my fav. And I'm happy they didn't make Gabriel into a psychopath who has such a unhealthy obsesseion with bringing his wife from the dead but they just made Gabriel a emotional and understanding character. Have a nice day/night
In Courage In Me Song, I was hoping we could see Ladybug predecessors being there for Marinette when she transformed the second time. Kind of like what Joan of Arc did for her in the series.
Some aspects of the movie is pretty messy, but overall I enjoyed it. The animation and the songs are beautiful. I’m obsessed with the magician and mime akumatized villains they are so cool!
I thought the movie was really amazing! I think a lot of fans that were disappointed by it tend to forget that it's made for people that have never seen this show before, and I think it succeeded in developing their relationship and showcasing the concept of their powers in a way that wouldn't be confusing for a general audience. As an example, both my mother and my sister watched it and let me know that they weren't confused about anything. They've never seen a single second of the show (Though my sister might now, she really enjoyed the movie). And I, of course, was just GUSHING over how beautiful it was and their songs!!! The singer they cast for Cat Noir was so perfect, I didn't expect him to match Bryce's voice so well. Excited to see what they do with a sequel!
Personally out of the Movies I have seen that came out this year, I would have to say that Miraculous: The Movie is personally my 7th Favorite Movie of this Year.
I like to think her motivation would be that she was also in love with emile as a child, but was too late to confess, with her wish being to go back in time to confess to Emilie.
I liked the movie and I loved parts of it. The animation and art design was beautiful! It definitely overcame the animation weaknesses of the series. I loved how everything looked, the characters, background, objects, clothing, even the mystical designs were so fantastic! I LOVED seeing Gabriel actually be a fashion designer - we never really get to see that in the show. Yeah, sometimes, we'll see projects in the room or they'll be a few moments with him barking orders on the phone or over a video chat, but otherwise, in the show, Gabriel is so focused on Hawk Moth stuff 24/7. I also liked how Fu and Marinette met ... rather than intentionally faking himself in danger to find his heroes. It might sound bad for me to say, but I think him genuinely being in danger and Marinette genuinely saving him was a good direction choice. The pacing and the music, however... throw me off, sadly. It was hard to get immersed - the music numbers didn't entirely fit into the scenes for me. And having different singing voice actors was a MISTAKE. Especially for Christina V - that was very, very obviously not her... it did not sound like Christina or like Marinette/Lady Bug. Her voice was very smooth R&B while Christina has a cute pop sound. It wasn't as bad for Adrien - the singer was passing. Still obviously not Bryce but no where near as much of a difference. They're pretty songs and the voices are lovely, but it was distracting and broke my immersion.
I feel like they did the song "carless whispers" right. They first put it as a romance song, like everyone thought.. but then put it again as a break-up song, like how it really was. I lived this movie, especially since they didnt play around with their relationship. Its funny how me and my bf said Gabriel went from looking like Dante, to Vergil in five seconds.. with the hair X,,D
The movie has both good and bad. The bad often lies in the vein of “tell don’t show”, as well as the transitions between scenes as you mentioned. The good parts lie in developing more of the relationship between Adrian his situation at home, as well as other more minute details. Not to mention the flawless animation and amazing songs P.S. I’m a little disappointed that the singers don’t try to match the voices of their VA counterparts, and the completely ruined Plagg
I Loved it, it was a bit hard to ignore the singing Voice was so drastically different, But Even though i was BEGGING like halfway through for them to end up together at the end, even thought in the show it usually didnt end well but this is a movie it different i dont care look how cute they are together- but like; i wasn't expecting it to Actually Happen, the whole time i couldnt believe it and something felt wrong like PTSD because of what the show put me through XD and when Hawkmoth just GAVE UP when he saw it was Adrien i was like Oh FR??? On God???? ...Just like that??? like if only it were that simple in the show, but theyve literally DONE it in the show and Gabriel just didnt care or used it to his advantage so it's nice to see him have a heart i guess
No honestly, if the movie was to be apart from the series then it gave us not a lot reasons for growth. What got me was when Adrien finally snaps at Gabriel
Honestly, I really liked the reveal at the end of the movie as well as the way that Gabriel just fell apart when he realized he'd been fighting his son. He's just a super broken father and I feel that's a more realistic reaction. I had my issues with the movie but that just really stuck with me.
I feel like the only one who didn't mind the transition between Lou's and Cristina's voices and was in LOVE with Lou's singing voice, I feel lonely 😢/lh
I know that watching Zamber reacting to the movie will be amazing, but i thought that we will see her watching Revelation (5x20) which is an amazing episode
@@shadamyandsonamylover I mean Season 5 and the movie are it’s own thing. So not watching the English dub of Ep 21-26 the viewers won’t be missing anything
@@littlesparrow303 I watched it all subbed when it came out, but I agree the finale was super underwhelming. The fight choreography was good, the designs were cool, but for the love of God we didn’t get the one thing we were promised and also they missed a huge opportunity calling it Ladynoir. I’m very glad the movie is its own thing lol I hope the sequel will be more aptly written for the run time.
My main problems with the movie: 1. Plagg wasn't even introduced until way later (and he was introduced by farting?) 2. Adrien didn't really have a reason to have the miraculous... he didn't save anyone. 3. the powers weren't explained at all, the cataclysm basically came out of nowhere.. Adrien and Gabriel don't really seem to have any relationship either, they have like 5 minutes on screen together minus the ending. None of the scenes in the movie impressed me as much as the series. In summary, the movie is 6/10 for me and I don't understand people's admiration..
Ikr,If this movie was an 1 season show, with us having enough time to see more caracter growth from Nino, alya, chleo, Sabrina, adrien, Marinette, Gabriel and Natalie, also some more dynamics and caracters development It would have been perfect, maybe and not a so rush final, like the whole movie just slower in 1 season it could have been the best thing ever The movie is in the right direction It's just the story isn't exactly made for an 1 hour and 40 minutes movie I wish we could have seen Marinette getting confident(not alr being after the montages) Gabriel losing it Adrien maybe not coming home more nights, and talking back to his back, maybe some interesting dynamics More of Natalie and what she thinks More Nino and adrien, Marinette and alya dynamics And Chleo getting to respect Marinette Maybe seeing master fu or nooro giving us more info Explaining powers More tikki and Marinette, adrien and plagg It would have been perfect (The movie is good tbh) This is what the show shoudl have been😭😭😭 It would have been amazing
Your 2nd complain doesn't make sense. As you can see, miraculouses chose their owners themselves, basically Tikki chose Marinette and Plagg chose Adrien
I feel like Emilie's voice as Gabriel did fashion work still would've been too heavy handed. What if one of the dresses had been similar to Emilie's dress? Or better still, Gabriel's instructions turned their work into something like her dress, showing that she's always on his mind? Side note, Tikki's "break it down" in her intro song had me dying. One of the earliest fan works I came across had Tikki obsessed with Hip Hop, to the point that she insisted on Marinette making bling in her size! This moment brought all of that back for me
I really enjoyed this movie when it first came out. The animation was great. The action was amazing. And the songs are catchy. I personally like the Miraculous Theme Song Remix. I also like that Hawkmoth akumatized himself with the butterfly miraculous on. Could have opened a lot of possibly in the show. That said, I only have a few nit picks. 1: We did not get a lucky charm. And 2: That small voice transition after Courage in me. Otherwise, this movie was really good and I’d give it a 9/10.
So, you didn't think that Plagg being reduced as a fart joke was impolite? Or that Chloe saying '' Adrien likes me! '' made no sense because we never saw them talking together. Or that Marinette got 4 songs and Chat just one which is very rude to the fans of this character? Or that their relation was rushed? Ladybug said '' He's annoying! '' to Tikki then after the fair she said to him '' Your ma partner! '' that was weird 🤨All this didn't bother you or annoy you a bit?
@@ladypool1404or the fact that cat noir didn't get an transformation animation😭😭😭😭😭 I am telling you, this movie needed more screen time, the story is for a movie but for an show We needed more caracter growth and dynamics to feel like they were complete We needed more screen time
the different voice acting isn’t a direction thing at all!lol it’s just the voice actors using their normal voice instead the voice they use when the become their characters
One thing that’s really interesting to me actually about the movie is that it seems like there is a general mix of reactions from the general public lol fans or not. I personally loved it, but I agree the differences between Lou & Cristina were so jarring in places. The music felt really mid to me after the first watch (1 song maybe stood out) but after streaming it, I really like it!! The movie made me appreciate ladynoir A LOT more which was funny because I’ve always been an adrienette stan- the stronger together duet & play fighting scenes were to die for!! I really just wish I could have seen it in a theater for a better viewing experience. ):
I was always a lady noir fan and loved their dynamic so maybe that’s why I love it so much lol. And idk the songs (except Hawk Moths and maybe the beginning) were rily well written and felt true to the characters
the movie was ok, but its understandable since they had to be quick about it. The characters were overall the same, but they had to cut down on a lot of their character traits and change a few things to save time. In the movie, Marinette was still a weird self conscious girl, but she did not have the same weight of responsibilities and traumatic experiences as her show counterpart. Adrien was still a sweet guy who cared for others while struggling with his fathers distance and the loss of his mom, but he had his freedom and did not grow up with the same restrictions and modeling job as his show counterpart. Movie Gabriel genuinely still cared for his family and stopped the moment he found out Cat Noir was Adrien, while his show counterpart went insane and became corrupted by his obsession and power.
I get what you mean but Marinette wasn’t over the top with plans, wasn’t stalking & acted like a normal teen girl even after getting rejected. For Adrien, I liked that he did talk back to his dad & wore headphones to avoid talking to people since he was down about his mom.
While I appreciate the convenience of streaming, I miss the immersive theater experience and sentimental value of owning movies on DVD. It's a balance between modernity and nostalgia, and each of us holds our unique perspective. 🎥🌐📀 Let's cherish the art we love in whatever way feels right to us. 🎭🥰
Is this movie flawless? Not even close. Do I appreciate the different direction they took with the Miraculous Holders Arcs and the limits (or reduction there of) on their powers? Very much so, actuality. In some ways, this is still very much the usual Miraculous fair. In others, they really took full advantage of this being a different continuity and gave some story beats that we never could have gotten in the main series. Especially with that ending there. It's interesting that Natalie looks like she'll take over the movies' villain role while the main series is moving her arc in more so the opposite direction as far as I know. Also, hot dang, Hawkmoth really shot for my top 10 non-disney villain songs, and made a solid play for a spot on that list.
You know what came to my mind just now? In the series she never got the Butterfly Miraculous back and gave it to Master Fu as was original intended but here she has. This is like a actual finally of Master Fu. Also they know there identities. I'm gonna guess that final part with Emily and Nathalie is a future sequel?
There will be a second and third movie, I don't know if Nathalie will be the next main antagonist of the second movie since Gabriel is in jail. They'll need Carapace, Rena Rouge & Queen Bee in the next movie.
Tbh, this story isn’t a strong edition of the show. Like what’s the point of making this if it doesn't have an amazingly strong storyline? Animation is gorgeous but we’ve come so far in animation that every movie is pretty nowadays. Visuals can’t carry a movie unless it’s something exceptional like Spiderverse. (Which I think the story is just as great)
I mean the purpose of the movie was just a simple retelling, or even just like an updated hour and a half version of the show condensed. it isn’t meant to have over the top 100% amazing storytelling quality
omg there were so many missed opportunities in this movie causing some conflict in scenes, like for example the plagg scene. they did him so wrong but omg nonetheless I LOVED THIS MOVIE SM!! i’ve rewatched it 6 times and the songs are on loop! but still omg
Totally agree as well. The series designs while not the prettiest, are pleasing to look at in proportions. But if in the show their eyes were already big, in this movie they look like 10 year olds
Pros and cons for me about the movie: PROS: Gorgeous animation Really liked how the Kwamis have more independence to choose their holders, it makes Fu look less of a incompetent, and also i really like Fu in general in this movie, he has a bit more of a personality and he's pretty fun Liked movie Marinette, she seems to be more of an actual human being and doesn't have her creepy tendencies Liked Adrien too, he has a bit of a different personality, but I actually like angsty Adrien, and also how much Cat Noir seems to exist as an equal to Ladybug Really loved Ladynoir, even more than i like then in the show Really liked how Gabriel was in the movie, we even saw a bit of him in his job as a designer (SOMETHING WE NEVER SEE IN THE SHOW), he felt lot more "pathetic" in a way, he is still cold and distant from Adrien but not in a "'I'll forbid you to leave this house" type of way, but more in a "I hate myself too much to actually talk to my son, he doesn't deserve me and should have his mother" Like, when Adrien screams at him bro was helpless, if it was Gabriel from the Show he would have been like "HOW DARE YOU" Liked how Sabrine was less of a evil minion in the movie, i actually can feel bad for her, Sabrina in the show had many moments where she was actually ENJOYING being evil Great music OH MY GOD GABRIEL HAS A HEART CONS: Kinda missed a bit of unhinged Marinette, we saw her a bit like that but still, i understand why tho, she was in half of the movie in her "origins" personality Kinda missed a bit of sunshine Adrien, but i get it why, guy lost his mom Some music felt missplaced Missed Christina Vee singing Wanted the movie to be longe, felt rushed
I hate how terribly they ruined Plagg and his relationship with Adrien, it literally was non-existent and Plagg was just reduced to a braindead walking unfunny fart joke😭
I feel like Marinette’s singing didn’t match the character and plag was always just farting I was expecting plag to be more funny and energetic but over all I loved the movie especially the end!
I feel like I'm on the unpopular opinion side of things because to me the movie was just messy idk. The animation is gorgeous tho! I also want to add that before seeing it with my friends in the theatre I did not know it was a musical. When Marinette stepped into the street and started singing... that was a moment Edit: I want to be clear. My rather strong dislike of this movie does not lie in objective faults. It's a personal thing. I never expected to like it. I do think it genuinely had some issues with the writing, but it really is mostly personal 😭
well, as someone who watched the show since 2016.. honestly, this movie made me appreciate the show sm more 😅 watched the movie, went to rewatch stormy weather & c'mon. the s1 ladynoir dynamic can never ever be topped. yeah, movie's animation is really amazing, and the songs are nice, but everything else felt pretty faint to me. especially the characterisation at times. in 8 years never did i think of chat noir as a jerk. dumb? yes. rude? never. and when i try to think of the movie separately from the show, i simply don't like it 😅 not to my taste. not a fan of some choices the creators did about the show either, but there were moments that touched my heart deeply, there were mindblowing episodes like chat blanc. the only thing i find mindblowing abt the movie is animation. but of course, it's only my personal opinon x) shows & movies work differently, that's first, and second - i now have a super strong emotional connection to the show, which is, of course, the main factor influencing my opinion. Zamber, thank you so much for the reaction!! I appreciate your hard work & sharing your experience for us!! And i love how you're both so invested, but still don't avoid mentioning the moments that feel off to you. Thank you ❤
Everything wrong with the movie: • There was practically ZERO Adrienette. • They never explained that they couldn't reveal their identities and why •The movie is too short to add so many songs AND tell this huge story from start to finish. (It needed at least more 30 minutes) • Ladynoir had limited and forced development before "Stronger Together" •The song "Reaching Out" was irrelevant to the specific scene and plot, and it was the FOURTH song about Marinette believing in herself (there were seven). It also didn't make sense, since she was supposed to be sad over Adrien but sang about crap that wasn't even related. • The fight sequence was forced, cringy and Gabriel's redemption didn't have enough buildup for it to leave a touching feeling. • The last battle was too short, and the heroes were defeated immediately. No elegant fight, just a pity win. • Random, Lazy Dialogues between the characters • They never explained WHY it would be bad to make the ultimate wish to bring Adrien's mom back (that made them look like the bad guys lol) • Chloe kept talking about Adrien but they never interacted, so it was unclear if they even knew each other. • Lacked the flirting of Ladynoir (not passive aggressive bickering), and the Friendliness of Adrienette. • "My Lady" and "Bugaboo" (FAR better than "Watermelon" and "Sidekick") • The final Kiss was cut off, as if the movie hadn't been disappointing enough. Let's demand an Extended Director's Cut...
one of my favs song is alone again by Adrien but idk why in the netflix version of the film it doesnt exist hahaha in spotify it is in the og playlist, and in the premiere it was also, so sad that here no
I think while it has its flaws the movie was extremely great! Also, both second and third movie are in production already, second is in the writing phase and was once again confirmed for 2026 (but possible it will be pushed on)
In my opinion people who liked the movie's portrayals of the characters are just adding aspects of the show characters onto them. Like i can’t imagine someone actually thinking adrien and marinette were more likeable in the movie than the show. They are just selecting the aspects of them they like the from the show and putting them on the movie characters to make their favorite version. In the movie, Adrien wasn’t shy, reserved, innocent and naive. He didn’t show any act of kindness, empathy or forgiveness. He didn’t seem to have any unfamiliarity with the world beyond his home. He didn't seem to struggle making friends. And for Marinette, she is just a generic protagonist. Reminded me a lot of Disney characters like Elsa. In the show, Marinette is someone who helps those who have insecurities. She cares deeply for others, putting their feelings and interests before her own. Movie Marinette is the one insecure about herself and some inspirational one-liners are enough to gain her confidence. In the show, Marinette while still struggling with self-confidence and self-esteem, that‘s not her entire personality. Marinette’s arc of accepting to be Ladybug in the Origins episode felt real and natural but the movie arc was just filled with meaningless songs and cliche one liners. They both fell for each other over bare minimum interactions. Marinette didn’t fall for Adrien because he showed vulnerability and opened his heart to her but because he tried to help her up after being weirded out by her. She thought he was attractive and that’s it. And it goes to nowhere as she starts having romantic moments with Cat Noir. Honestly the plot of Marinette falling for Adrien is pointless. Their development happens through a montage. They tried to force the lovesquare but it just didn't work. Cat Noir didn’t fall for Ladybug because she is intelligent, confident and strong but because she saved him from crushing under a train. Again, another bare minimum interaction. The only argument people who prefer movie Adrienette have is that Marinette can properly talk to Adrien… And that just makes me really angry because that is both untrue and very insensitive. Anyway I’m tired. Maybe I’ll edit this later and add more of my thoughts.
Thank you! I've tried to explain this multiple times. In the movie the characters don't have any growth. The show may have bad writing but at least they don't give them plain aspects
I felt really disappointed the movie wasn't cracked up to what i expected and i don't mind song's in movies but seriously did they really have to be so fuckin long like bruh 90% of the songs took up half the movie and not only that didn't really get to explore some important details the animation and the character designs are beautiful but other than that it felt meh
@@passarovoador6662 even if it was 13 mins or more it still took up half the movie I'm sure nobody would have complained about the songs if it didn't and you can still explore the animation without the songs
@@passarovoador6662 Hmmm its more like 20 minutes. But i feel like some of the songs, especially reaching out, just don't fit. At all. They could have done with a few less songs. Keep "If i believed in me" "You are ladybug" "Chaos reigns today" "Courage in me" and "Stronger together" and get rid of all the other songs. Especially reaching out.
1. I agree any time there is a romantic song from one to another that is all i can hear too... 2. If Gabriel knows...what is the meaning of the end? The butterfly miraculous is returned so will Natalie become the new villain with the peacock? Gabe already knows the identities... 3. When do we really have closure against Lila/Cerise/pathalogical Liar? I really just want to see her completely put in her place against everyone that has ever believed her lies...
• I thought I was the only one that felt like everyone had three different friggin voices in this film. • The action scenes were cool, but the last battle could’ve been longer and more dramatic. • I didn’t mind most of the subtle differences from the show, including the lore and the power sets of the Miraculous. • The duet song was the only good one. • We actually got Reveals that weren’t illusions or f***ed up by time travel crap.
I think _one of_ my only big gripes in this movie is the clear difference between some singing voices compared to speaking voices. They couldve tried harder to find similar voices or made the VAs train in singing. Also the lyrics in Chat Noirs' song to Ladybug are different... I wont lie, the French version is alot more romantic ;;
I just watched this movie last night at work and let me say that scene when he was playing the piano and singing with ladybug IT PISSED ME OFF BECAUSE SHE REJECTED HIM 😭😭
Omg, here in Germany i watched the movie in the cinema two times and we didn't get to see the basement scene! And i stayed during the whole credits. And unfortunately, we can't see the movie on german Netflix. 😭
I would imagine the next movie We will see rena, queen bee and carapace. Mayura will probably break Gabriel out of prison and maby marinettes and Adrien’s identety is revealed to the other 3. and then a third movie could be the other heroes
I’m sorry but one of the highlights of the show’s origins was Alya, I’m so mad that they ignored her in this. What happened to Ladybug being a smart and creative heroine? She doesn't use her lucky charm once in this movie
+ The character designs in this movie look generic. They all lost their sparks and personalities and became generic Western animation characters. The only way you can tell that boy Luka is thanks to his blue hair. They even whitewashed characters like Alya and Alix.
@@polypus1994I’m glad they got rid of her lucky charm. If you think about it, it doesn’t make any sense. Cat noir gets one power: cataclysm. Ladybug gets two powers: lucky charm and the miraculous ladybug. The way they did it in the movie balanced them out. She has her ladybug sense which is great. I think the rest of the flaws come down to it was just a little too short for the story they wanted to tell.
@@shadamyandsonamylover It does. Marinette creates designs and clothes as a civilian and creates objects as a superhero. Her lucky charm is her signature. Getting rid of it was a bad decision, among all the other bad decisions made in this movie
@@polypus1994 imo the movie is much more balanced. Plenty of people have made videos about it (the show) but the show has a power problem and an uneven protagonist problem. Marinette’s powers in particular are so over the top that there are hardly any consequences in the show for her actions. Adrien and Mari don’t need to care as much about how they do their job since Mari will just fix everything in the end. You can see this in the S5 finale where Chat Noir is super reckless (and other episodes but the finale is fresh on my mind). And in the show they have been doing this for 12 months! Unlike the 4 months in the movie. Adrien is smarter than that, but they don’t write him that way due to plot convenience.
Well, I more or less agree with your thoughts on the Gabriel/Adrien dynamic. After all, it's true that subtlety is not your friend in a 90-minute runtime and you really do need to be more concise in your message. Still, there ARE glints of the psychology behind the characters, peeking through the cracks. If you look closely enough, you can see that Adrien and Gabriel are essentially in the same boat, in that they've both been isolated by their grief. I saw one review of the movie which described Adrien as just kind of "sleepwalking through life", in the wake of Emilie's death (which is not an unfair assessment), and in his own way, Gabriel was doing very much the same thing. The only difference is that Adrien came to the realization that he couldn't get through this alone, so he kept reaching out to Gabriel for help, only to not get it. But then the Miraculous came his way, along with Ladybug, and THAT kind of became his support system (even if it WAS largely a distraction). On the other hand, we see Gabriel doing what he's doing. But even though it's not explicitly stated, I believe he'd convinced himself that he was doing this as much for Adrien's benefit as his own. And you can kind of see that in how this version of Gabriel chooses his targets more carefully. Sure, the first guy was an innocent victim, but that's because it was a test run, more than anything, and Gabriel wasn't fully in control of the process. Once he knew the power worked, though, I believe there's a reason he only chose criminals to do his bidding, after that. Because what the hell...criminals aren't nice people anyway, right? So if anything happened to them or they got hurt, he wouldn't have to feel bad about it. Granted, that hardly makes anything he did a "victimless crime" because he was still endangering the lives of THOUSANDS of people. But I believe that, in HIS mind, this was the one frayed thread still tethering him to his humanity, in the vain hope that, when it was all said and done, he could take SOME comfort in the knowledge that he wouldn't have turned into a COMPLETE monster and could still go back to being the husband and father that he was. But then, we get the scene between Gabriel and Adrien, where Adrien absolutely lays into him, because he'd just gotten his heart broken, and that was the last straw, and all this frustration he'd been carrying around had finally reached a boiling point. So when THAT happened, suddenly Gabriel saw EVERYTHING just slipping away, and it was all too much. Hence, why he turned the power on himself, because at that point, he was simply THAT desperate. Now, would a couple more scenes with Gabriel have helped to clarify his descent into this mindset? Yes. Absolutely. But much like the "Adrienette" moments, I think they were hoping that the montage would be enough to illustrate it. As for any sequels (I did hear that the next movie is slated for a 2026 release, but that's internet scuttlebutt, so take it for what it's worth), I couldn't even begin to guess what's going to happen there, either, except to say that I HOPE we get to enjoy the payoffs that this movie gave us (even if that fade-out at the end WAS a cheap sucker punch and I sincerely hope someone got a good kick in the shins for THAT). Who knows? Maybe we'll get to see more balanced versions of our loving pair, going forward, with Marinette's newfound confidence possibly making her a more lighthearted Ladybug and Adrien maybe being a more serious Cat Noir, having worked through his grief and no longer needing to lean on that identity as an emotional crutch. That being said, while that follow-up scene at the end made it pretty clear where a second movie would be going, they could just break away with a third and do something completely different now, if they want to. Because honestly, there are a lot of story beats and plots they could pull from that wouldn't even NEED Gabriel or Emelie in the mix to make them work. Hell, outside of the "Agreste Arc", they'd probably work BETTER, because they'd be allowed to stand on their own and could be explored in more depth. Anyway, in conclusion, I saw another review for this movie, and that one raised a very interesting point...Can you imagine what it must feel like to be Thomas Astruc right now? I mean, you've been hacking away at this show for five Seasons now ("hack", being the operative word here, as at least half of it has been a complete garbage fire, let's not lie to ourselves). And after the fifth Season wraps, your BOSS, who basically said, "Hold my beer", comes swooping in, not a month later, and in 90 MINUTES, shows off a better product than YOU'VE managed to put together in EIGHT YEARS ("Yeah, that's how it's done, b[BEEP!]tch! Mic drop! Buh-bye!"). I mean, what do you SAY to that? At least, that's just my thinking on it.
Even when the visuals and music are stunning, it’s easy to critique the movie’s liberties from the show as it felt pretty rushed and the lack of Cristina Vee singing (even though Lou is phenomenal). But regardless, I cannot hate it. This movie is still really fun and charming.
This movie may have a few small faults but I honestly love this movie! It fixes a lot of my issues with the show and I can’t wait to see where this time line goes! Edit: It seems like Natalie will be the main villain of Movie 2 and it’ll be interesting to see if we get to see Chloe, Alia, and Nino get their miraculous as well
Same I actually rily don’t understand why people are so hard on the movie. It’s pretty much what I expected so I can’t complain too much. It is literally a fan fiction come to life and the director even admitted it
@@lunarialoonatic ITs how Jerremy Zag wished the series would have been and honestly I wish Jeremy could have pushed to do it this way. just think about how the show would be if we got this style of ladybug (not animation but story telling) it would have been amazing!
Well they did explain it in an interview The movie only took place in 3 months the final battle was in October. Marinette hasn’t fully discovered her abilities as ladybug yet
Never watched the show but watched tons of entertaining reviews of people ripping it apart. And yeah the show is a damn mess. The more "unique" feature of the show is the love square which as you said sounds cute on paper but my god I could not bare to watch the stupid will they won't they for 5. 5 entire seasons. All I know from the show is the reviews of it, and what I got was, Marinette is a stalker who is obsessed with this poor teenage boy, said teenage boy lives a miserable life being objectified by all the romantic rivals Marinette gets rid of throughout the show because it's "romantic", the side characters barely matter, and the only one who does (Chloe) gets vilified and deemed as a forever evil entity (she is 14). My god. Miraculous is a mess. So I watched the movie. And... gonna be honest I really liked it. It's trashy fun. It's a lighthearted and very sweet. Gone are the stalker tendencies, gone are the continuous advances after the girl said no, replaced with genuinely charming banter and building of a friendship between both identities at the same time (Adrien + Marinette, Ladybug + Chat Noir). I truly believe the only reason people find this movie so good or better than the show is because... sadly this movie did what the show didn't in 5 seasons. The bare f**king minimum. I don't blame the movie for being rushed or having very bare bone fleshing out of characters, they did have to cram 5 seasons into an hour and 40 min. There are things the movie could have done better. Honestly the music was fine but not everything needs to be a musical. Coming as someone who loves musicals, this should not have been one. The show itself isn't. It could have been 10 - 15 min longer. Why did we need so many scenes with Marinette's parents. She gets a lot of scenes with them for some reason but the one character who NEEDED scenes with his parent barely gets 2. Like come on. Give those min of screentime to Adrien and Gabriel Agreste instead. And then use the rest of those min to flesh out the romance of the characters a little more. Especially when they're "off mask" (Why the hell would Marinette 'choose' Adrien, the guy she's barely friends with, over Cat Noir, who she has been through so much with and saved her life so many times) But you know what. It's fine. It's a perfectly fine movie. Nothing too wrong about it, it's a movie to truly turn your brain off and enjoy with popcorn. Some scenes are genuinely so charming. Some of the jokes are quite funny, the action scenes are an absolute delight. I have to say my favorite scene in the entire movie was when the two protags just stopped for a second to have some fun and play fight. I don't know why but my god that was so cute. Like for once you can see a little bit past these fearsome powerful heroes and realize the teenagers they are inside. Who just stop for a second after their constant lives of danger, to have wholesome fun with each other. I loved that.
Adrian was done dirty... being casted off to the sidelines most of the movie... even when Gabriel quit, somehow marrinate saw it was him but adrian didnt see it was her? And the jump to winter like "WHAT" what happened in that time...not gonna tell me marrinette couldnt have told him that shes LB during that time... adrian/cat noir got "shafted" again like during and after season 2 of the show
I love how in the movie Emilie is literally rotting on the floor and in show she’s at least in a capsule keeping her “fresh”
Maybe dying by corrupted/broken miraculous keeps you pristine lol
@@shadamyandsonamyloverwe still don’t even know if that’s how she died in the movie, different canon
@@shadamyandsonamyloverI don’t think emilie was fully dead in the show tho, she was in a coma
@@meyoffee7261 If I recall, in the french version she was dead, but in the english dub she was in a coma.
Due to cultural differences.
Another difference involved Marinette and Kagami drinking Juice. In french... They were drinking wine or alcoholic drinks, due to the legal age for Parisians is younger.
Supposedly Astruc also wanted to do a Halloween special... But that is a more mature celebration in France, which is sad supposedly it was going to involve the catacombs and possibly a graveyard.
@@electrobob992 Oh, I see. That makes sense
Plagg was done dirty in the movie :(
Ikr....
Dirtier than his farts
didn't know this was a complaint NGL 💀
Plagg wasn't the most dignified character to begin with in the series so this didn't really strike as a poor introduction imo
@happinn_ess3431wdym literally every character is better in the movie, Adrien is not a pussy that can't stand up to his father Marinette is not a creepy stalking person chloe is not a complete sociopath that pulls the most diabolic things known to man Gabriel actual cares for his son and so on. The movie did in an hour what the series couldn't do in 5 seasons.
I like his voice tho
My biggest gripe was the transition between Christina's LB voice acting to Lou's singing, it didn't even remotely match. At least Bryce's singer seemed to have a much smoother transition so I didn't mind too much with his songs. But surely, when Keith and Mela both are allowed to sing why couldn't Christina play her part, she's got a gorgeous voice. Especially these days when music is used in films and there's a push to have actors who can actually sing so the viewers can remain immersed. It just felt so jarring each time they went to her songs that it knocked my enjoyment each time.
So was Bryce singing or was someone singing for him
In french too, Lou is doing the songs and it really felt weird to transition from the actual VA to Lou's singing.
That is exactly what I’ve been thinking
I am so glad someone agree’s with me, like how it feels so jarring and like don’t get me wrong, she sounds great! But she dont sound like Marinette. I couldn’t really focus on the songs on 1st time watch -v-;
@@Butterenthusiasts no it wasn't Bryce singing, according to Spotify it's a singer called Square. I may have gotten their spelling incorrect, but it certainly wasn't Bryce.
I loved how Adrien was actually allowed to feel things outside of the love square this movie.
Like his mom being dead and his dad sucking. It’s gotten better, but so often he just isn’t feeling anything about that stuff.
This movie did it so well.
Agreed.
I love how Tikki can has sass in this movie
example: I'm about to kick your butt if you don't start to listen
I have been singing that line so much X D it's so funny
it may be stuck in my head forever but I'm glad it is
I know that my fraviret scene
Also her saying You dick to Marinette when she took off her earrings
In the french version which is the original, she says her patience has limits when she knows she has right.
Adrien's scene with careless Whisper was amazing . I will never forget this best man and his emotions❤
Also 44:32
I loved the movie but wish it was paced better and that we had more interactions with plagg and adrien.
Her movie dress was gorgeous and as a cosplayer I would love to recreate it. I made a dress similar for a cosplay of her a couple of years ago but the movie dress is just breathtaking.
They had a limited run time, so there were things they had to squish in, and not very efficiently, unfortunately.
This movie blows the show out of the water on every conceivable level.
The kwami’s were done dirty and imo we could have used more Chat Noir moments. They did undermine his character a bit but the show also does that so 🤷♀️ I’m just happy to finally get closure on some kind of identity reveal and the final battle and Hawk Moth reveal actually made me emotional and feel some sympathy for Gabriel vs the show
I like how Ladybug and Cat Noir just bully each other like siblings, makes their relationship feel more realistic
Keith’s villain song is the best song in the whole movie, I’m dying for his voice
Like fr like Keith's voice and song is just chef kisses but ofc I love also the other songs but just Chaos reigns today is just my fav. And I'm happy they didn't make Gabriel into a psychopath who has such a unhealthy obsesseion with bringing his wife from the dead but they just made Gabriel a emotional and understanding character. Have a nice day/night
In Courage In Me Song, I was hoping we could see Ladybug predecessors being there for Marinette when she transformed the second time. Kind of like what Joan of Arc did for her in the series.
Some aspects of the movie is pretty messy, but overall I enjoyed it. The animation and the songs are beautiful. I’m obsessed with the magician and mime akumatized villains they are so cool!
I thought the movie was really amazing! I think a lot of fans that were disappointed by it tend to forget that it's made for people that have never seen this show before, and I think it succeeded in developing their relationship and showcasing the concept of their powers in a way that wouldn't be confusing for a general audience. As an example, both my mother and my sister watched it and let me know that they weren't confused about anything. They've never seen a single second of the show (Though my sister might now, she really enjoyed the movie). And I, of course, was just GUSHING over how beautiful it was and their songs!!! The singer they cast for Cat Noir was so perfect, I didn't expect him to match Bryce's voice so well. Excited to see what they do with a sequel!
Personally out of the Movies I have seen that came out this year, I would have to say that Miraculous: The Movie is personally my 7th Favorite Movie of this Year.
I really want Alya to become Rena Rouge in the next movie (like in the show). Also would love to get more of the class in the future movies.
I'm sure that will happen in the second and third one
Same!
The next movie is going to be about Natalie being the next villain, and she's going to use the peacock miraculous. Calling it
Also I hope they do Ladrien & Marichat scenes. It’ll be so cute to see them role play
I like to think her motivation would be that she was also in love with emile as a child, but was too late to confess, with her wish being to go back in time to confess to Emilie.
I wonder who could be the villain of the third movie
Maybe Lila@@PDD555.
@@littlesparrow303 bruh they already revealed their identities in the movies why would that happen?
I liked the movie and I loved parts of it. The animation and art design was beautiful! It definitely overcame the animation weaknesses of the series. I loved how everything looked, the characters, background, objects, clothing, even the mystical designs were so fantastic! I LOVED seeing Gabriel actually be a fashion designer - we never really get to see that in the show. Yeah, sometimes, we'll see projects in the room or they'll be a few moments with him barking orders on the phone or over a video chat, but otherwise, in the show, Gabriel is so focused on Hawk Moth stuff 24/7. I also liked how Fu and Marinette met ... rather than intentionally faking himself in danger to find his heroes. It might sound bad for me to say, but I think him genuinely being in danger and Marinette genuinely saving him was a good direction choice.
The pacing and the music, however... throw me off, sadly. It was hard to get immersed - the music numbers didn't entirely fit into the scenes for me. And having different singing voice actors was a MISTAKE. Especially for Christina V - that was very, very obviously not her... it did not sound like Christina or like Marinette/Lady Bug. Her voice was very smooth R&B while Christina has a cute pop sound. It wasn't as bad for Adrien - the singer was passing. Still obviously not Bryce but no where near as much of a difference. They're pretty songs and the voices are lovely, but it was distracting and broke my immersion.
I feel like they did the song "carless whispers" right. They first put it as a romance song, like everyone thought.. but then put it again as a break-up song, like how it really was. I lived this movie, especially since they didnt play around with their relationship. Its funny how me and my bf said Gabriel went from looking like Dante, to Vergil in five seconds.. with the hair X,,D
So thats where marinette got his stalker ability 21:52
The movie has both good and bad. The bad often lies in the vein of “tell don’t show”, as well as the transitions between scenes as you mentioned. The good parts lie in developing more of the relationship between Adrian his situation at home, as well as other more minute details. Not to mention the flawless animation and amazing songs
P.S. I’m a little disappointed that the singers don’t try to match the voices of their VA counterparts, and the completely ruined Plagg
Lol we are all fangirling with the seconds we get to see a Luka cameo. That was me the entire time watching the movie 😂
he definitely will get the snake miraculous in the second or third one
i was literally pausing the movie every time i saw him, my brother thought i was really weird because i was staring at luka 😭😭
I Loved it, it was a bit hard to ignore the singing Voice was so drastically different,
But Even though i was BEGGING like halfway through for them to end up together at the end, even thought in the show it usually didnt end well but this is a movie it different i dont care look how cute they are together- but like;
i wasn't expecting it to Actually Happen, the whole time i couldnt believe it and something felt wrong like PTSD because of what the show put me through XD
and when Hawkmoth just GAVE UP when he saw it was Adrien i was like Oh FR??? On God???? ...Just like that???
like if only it were that simple in the show, but theyve literally DONE it in the show and Gabriel just didnt care or used it to his advantage so it's nice to see him have a heart i guess
THE WAY ZAMBER IMMEDIATELY SAYS "no..." WHEN THE RAP PART STARTS HAPPENING SHE WAS SO REAL FOR THAT LMAO
I am obsessed with this movie. The series hurt my heart. This is a messy movie but it’s still very healing.
Same here. I think I like this movie better than the show
Honestly, Gabriel and adrien had so little development in the movie to make the end feel impactful to me.
No honestly, if the movie was to be apart from the series then it gave us not a lot reasons for growth. What got me was when Adrien finally snaps at Gabriel
@@Quartz2.1Adrien snapping at Gabriel ultimately failed as there is no build up for it. It's just a weird random moment
he did tho imo
Gabriel had more of a soul and character in the movie than in the show tho, not wanting to spoil but did you watch the S5 finale yet?
@@xeyll7722 What? what do you mean there was no build up?
Bro watched so much Miraculous that doesn't know basic storytelling
Honestly, I really liked the reveal at the end of the movie as well as the way that Gabriel just fell apart when he realized he'd been fighting his son. He's just a super broken father and I feel that's a more realistic reaction. I had my issues with the movie but that just really stuck with me.
I feel like the only one who didn't mind the transition between Lou's and Cristina's voices and was in LOVE with Lou's singing voice, I feel lonely 😢/lh
you are not alone! i feel the same 😢
Me too! Sure it was kinda odd and I would have liked to hear Cristina sing but Lou's voice is beautiful!
you're not alone, i think so too! for some reason it absolutely not bothered me
I know that watching Zamber reacting to the movie will be amazing, but i thought that we will see her watching Revelation (5x20) which is an amazing episode
thats next week
Tbh I thought ppl would've told her to watch the rest of S5 first before watching the movie neither the less I'm excited
@@Neo-Queenserenityt2lI’m shocked people are watching this before finishing the season. The movie is so much better after the S5 finale lol
@@shadamyandsonamylover I mean Season 5 and the movie are it’s own thing. So not watching the English dub of Ep 21-26 the viewers won’t be missing anything
@@littlesparrow303 I watched it all subbed when it came out, but I agree the finale was super underwhelming. The fight choreography was good, the designs were cool, but for the love of God we didn’t get the one thing we were promised and also they missed a huge opportunity calling it Ladynoir.
I’m very glad the movie is its own thing lol I hope the sequel will be more aptly written for the run time.
My main problems with the movie:
1. Plagg wasn't even introduced until way later (and he was introduced by farting?)
2. Adrien didn't really have a reason to have the miraculous... he didn't save anyone.
3. the powers weren't explained at all, the cataclysm basically came out of nowhere.. Adrien and Gabriel don't really seem to have any relationship either, they have like 5 minutes on screen together minus the ending.
None of the scenes in the movie impressed me as much as the series.
In summary, the movie is 6/10 for me and I don't understand people's admiration..
Your second reason doesn't make much sense, just pay more attention to the details 💀
@@akdami1 What details? Everything they said are perfectly valid
Ikr,If this movie was an 1 season show, with us having enough time to see more caracter growth from Nino, alya, chleo, Sabrina, adrien, Marinette, Gabriel and Natalie, also some more dynamics and caracters development
It would have been perfect, maybe and not a so rush final, like the whole movie just slower in 1 season it could have been the best thing ever
The movie is in the right direction
It's just the story isn't exactly made for an 1 hour and 40 minutes movie
I wish we could have seen Marinette getting confident(not alr being after the montages)
Gabriel losing it
Adrien maybe not coming home more nights, and talking back to his back, maybe some interesting dynamics
More of Natalie and what she thinks
More Nino and adrien, Marinette and alya dynamics
And Chleo getting to respect Marinette
Maybe seeing master fu or nooro giving us more info
Explaining powers
More tikki and Marinette, adrien and plagg
It would have been perfect
(The movie is good tbh)
This is what the show shoudl have been😭😭😭
It would have been amazing
Your 2nd complain doesn't make sense. As you can see, miraculouses chose their owners themselves, basically Tikki chose Marinette and Plagg chose Adrien
@@wazowski6602 ye, true
I feel like Emilie's voice as Gabriel did fashion work still would've been too heavy handed. What if one of the dresses had been similar to Emilie's dress? Or better still, Gabriel's instructions turned their work into something like her dress, showing that she's always on his mind?
Side note, Tikki's "break it down" in her intro song had me dying. One of the earliest fan works I came across had Tikki obsessed with Hip Hop, to the point that she insisted on Marinette making bling in her size! This moment brought all of that back for me
I really enjoyed this movie when it first came out. The animation was great. The action was amazing. And the songs are catchy. I personally like the Miraculous Theme Song Remix. I also like that Hawkmoth akumatized himself with the butterfly miraculous on. Could have opened a lot of possibly in the show. That said, I only have a few nit picks. 1: We did not get a lucky charm. And 2: That small voice transition after Courage in me. Otherwise, this movie was really good and I’d give it a 9/10.
I think the reason there was no lucky charm is because fans didn't really like it considering it was like an instant win type of thing
The lucky charm stuff is after Hawkmoth got powerful. He got defeated while still being Hawkmoth
So, you didn't think that Plagg being reduced as a fart joke was impolite? Or that Chloe saying '' Adrien likes me! '' made no sense because we never saw them talking together. Or that Marinette got 4 songs and Chat just one which is very rude to the fans of this character? Or that their relation was rushed? Ladybug said '' He's annoying! '' to Tikki then after the fair she said to him '' Your ma partner! '' that was weird 🤨All this didn't bother you or annoy you a bit?
Lucky Charm was pretty stupid imo
@@ladypool1404or the fact that cat noir didn't get an transformation animation😭😭😭😭😭
I am telling you, this movie needed more screen time, the story is for a movie but for an show
We needed more caracter growth and dynamics to feel like they were complete
We needed more screen time
love this move. can't wait for the second and third one to come out.
me too
the different voice acting isn’t a direction thing at all!lol it’s just the voice actors using their normal voice instead the voice they use when the become their characters
One thing that’s really interesting to me actually about the movie is that it seems like there is a general mix of reactions from the general public lol fans or not. I personally loved it, but I agree the differences between Lou & Cristina were so jarring in places. The music felt really mid to me after the first watch (1 song maybe stood out) but after streaming it, I really like it!! The movie made me appreciate ladynoir A LOT more which was funny because I’ve always been an adrienette stan- the stronger together duet & play fighting scenes were to die for!! I really just wish I could have seen it in a theater for a better viewing experience. ):
I was always a lady noir fan and loved their dynamic so maybe that’s why I love it so much lol. And idk the songs (except Hawk Moths and maybe the beginning) were rily well written and felt true to the characters
the movie was ok, but its understandable since they had to be quick about it. The characters were overall the same, but they had to cut down on a lot of their character traits and change a few things to save time. In the movie, Marinette was still a weird self conscious girl, but she did not have the same weight of responsibilities and traumatic experiences as her show counterpart. Adrien was still a sweet guy who cared for others while struggling with his fathers distance and the loss of his mom, but he had his freedom and did not grow up with the same restrictions and modeling job as his show counterpart. Movie Gabriel genuinely still cared for his family and stopped the moment he found out Cat Noir was Adrien, while his show counterpart went insane and became corrupted by his obsession and power.
I get what you mean but Marinette wasn’t over the top with plans, wasn’t stalking & acted like a normal teen girl even after getting rejected. For Adrien, I liked that he did talk back to his dad & wore headphones to avoid talking to people since he was down about his mom.
Have a miraculous day
You too
You both have a miraculous day
While I appreciate the convenience of streaming, I miss the immersive theater experience and sentimental value of owning movies on DVD. It's a balance between modernity and nostalgia, and each of us holds our unique perspective. 🎥🌐📀 Let's cherish the art we love in whatever way feels right to us. 🎭🥰
ZAMBER WILL LITERALLY LAUGHE AT THIS AND HAPPY AT THE SAME TIME 😂
I think the part where Cat Noir LITERALLY *GRABS* A BULLET is kinda glossed over...
Criticisms and complaints aside, yeah dude caught a invincible bullet, and was able to rush to ladybug like the flash from his bedroom window.
Is this movie flawless?
Not even close.
Do I appreciate the different direction they took with the Miraculous Holders Arcs and the limits (or reduction there of) on their powers?
Very much so, actuality.
In some ways, this is still very much the usual Miraculous fair.
In others, they really took full advantage of this being a different continuity and gave some story beats that we never could have gotten in the main series.
Especially with that ending there.
It's interesting that Natalie looks like she'll take over the movies' villain role while the main series is moving her arc in more so the opposite direction as far as I know.
Also, hot dang, Hawkmoth really shot for my top 10 non-disney villain songs, and made a solid play for a spot on that list.
You know what came to my mind just now?
In the series she never got the Butterfly Miraculous back and gave it to Master Fu as was original intended but here she has. This is like a actual finally of Master Fu.
Also they know there identities.
I'm gonna guess that final part with Emily and Nathalie is a future sequel?
Soo excited to see your reaction!!! ❤I definitely LOVED the movie I've seen it in theatres one day before it came out on Netflix 🥰
The animation is absolutely beautiful and so were the songs especially Stronger Together 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
There will be a second and third movie, I don't know if Nathalie will be the next main antagonist of the second movie since Gabriel is in jail. They'll need Carapace, Rena Rouge & Queen Bee in the next movie.
Most evil acts in the world:
3) Placing a cup down without a coaster
2) Murder
1) Cutting off the film just as Marinette and Adrian are about to kiss
Tbh, this story isn’t a strong edition of the show. Like what’s the point of making this if it doesn't have an amazingly strong storyline? Animation is gorgeous but we’ve come so far in animation that every movie is pretty nowadays. Visuals can’t carry a movie unless it’s something exceptional like Spiderverse. (Which I think the story is just as great)
Yeah I understand the pacing being rushed a bit & not seeing much of Adrien in it too
I mean the purpose of the movie was just a simple retelling, or even just like an updated hour and a half version of the show condensed. it isn’t meant to have over the top 100% amazing storytelling quality
@@nessieeze147 It’s still very weak compared to the show
@@Carnella1Lit's honestly so much better than the show
@@sirinsx8383 you honestly need help
omg there were so many missed opportunities in this movie causing some conflict in scenes, like for example the plagg scene. they did him so wrong but omg nonetheless I LOVED THIS MOVIE SM!! i’ve rewatched it 6 times and the songs are on loop! but still omg
This might be a hot take, but, though brilliantly animated, I feel like the art made everybody a little *too* cute. Idk why. That's just how I feel
Totally agree as well. The series designs while not the prettiest, are pleasing to look at in proportions. But if in the show their eyes were already big, in this movie they look like 10 year olds
Through the entire film, every time I see Hawk Moth/Gabriel Agreste, I was chanting “Sing a song! Sing a song!”
Courage in Me is probably my favorite song. The video is also freaking wonderful. I feel like every time I watch it, it feels stronger.
Pros and cons for me about the movie:
PROS:
Gorgeous animation
Really liked how the Kwamis have more independence to choose their holders, it makes Fu look less of a incompetent, and also i really like Fu in general in this movie, he has a bit more of a personality and he's pretty fun
Liked movie Marinette, she seems to be more of an actual human being and doesn't have her creepy tendencies
Liked Adrien too, he has a bit of a different personality, but I actually like angsty Adrien, and also how much Cat Noir seems to exist as an equal to Ladybug
Really loved Ladynoir, even more than i like then in the show
Really liked how Gabriel was in the movie, we even saw a bit of him in his job as a designer (SOMETHING WE NEVER SEE IN THE SHOW), he felt lot more "pathetic" in a way, he is still cold and distant from Adrien but not in a "'I'll forbid you to leave this house" type of way, but more in a "I hate myself too much to actually talk to my son, he doesn't deserve me and should have his mother"
Like, when Adrien screams at him bro was helpless, if it was Gabriel from the Show he would have been like "HOW DARE YOU"
Liked how Sabrine was less of a evil minion in the movie, i actually can feel bad for her, Sabrina in the show had many moments where she was actually ENJOYING being evil
Great music
OH MY GOD GABRIEL HAS A HEART
CONS:
Kinda missed a bit of unhinged Marinette, we saw her a bit like that but still, i understand why tho, she was in half of the movie in her "origins" personality
Kinda missed a bit of sunshine Adrien, but i get it why, guy lost his mom
Some music felt missplaced
Missed Christina Vee singing
Wanted the movie to be longe, felt rushed
So you miss stalker Marinette? Weirdo.
I do NOT miss Marinettes creepy ass stalker behavior at all
@@nevaehhamilton3493No wtf
I miss her being more feisty and energetic
I hate how terribly they ruined Plagg and his relationship with Adrien, it literally was non-existent and Plagg was just reduced to a braindead walking unfunny fart joke😭
34:35- Yeah, the movie begins at the start of the school year and it ends in December so we're looking at about a 3-4 month time frame.
I feel like Marinette’s singing didn’t match the character and plag was always just farting I was expecting plag to be more funny and energetic but over all I loved the movie especially the end!
I feel like I'm on the unpopular opinion side of things because to me the movie was just messy idk. The animation is gorgeous tho!
I also want to add that before seeing it with my friends in the theatre I did not know it was a musical. When Marinette stepped into the street and started singing... that was a moment
Edit: I want to be clear. My rather strong dislike of this movie does not lie in objective faults. It's a personal thing. I never expected to like it. I do think it genuinely had some issues with the writing, but it really is mostly personal 😭
I feel the same about this movie
Same here
Idk the movie was really, really messy .Instead of the unnecessary songs, they could have used that time for character development
@@ql1295 They released a video explaining why the songs are in the movie, it's on the Mirqculous Ladybug channel
Its not messy its structure is great the story is great and the changes are perfect
@@totally_dramaticchannel77 Okay dude
I think the whole lovesquare between the same people make Miraculous iconic.
well, as someone who watched the show since 2016.. honestly, this movie made me appreciate the show sm more 😅 watched the movie, went to rewatch stormy weather & c'mon. the s1 ladynoir dynamic can never ever be topped.
yeah, movie's animation is really amazing, and the songs are nice, but everything else felt pretty faint to me. especially the characterisation at times. in 8 years never did i think of chat noir as a jerk. dumb? yes. rude? never.
and when i try to think of the movie separately from the show, i simply don't like it 😅 not to my taste. not a fan of some choices the creators did about the show either, but there were moments that touched my heart deeply, there were mindblowing episodes like chat blanc.
the only thing i find mindblowing abt the movie is animation. but of course, it's only my personal opinon x) shows & movies work differently, that's first, and second - i now have a super strong emotional connection to the show, which is, of course, the main factor influencing my opinion.
Zamber, thank you so much for the reaction!! I appreciate your hard work & sharing your experience for us!! And i love how you're both so invested, but still don't avoid mentioning the moments that feel off to you. Thank you ❤
I CANT WAIT TO SEE YOUR REACTION! i wish it premiered rn😭
Everything wrong with the movie:
• There was practically ZERO Adrienette.
• They never explained that they couldn't reveal their identities and why
•The movie is too short to add so many songs AND tell this huge story from start to finish. (It needed at least more 30 minutes)
• Ladynoir had limited and forced development before "Stronger Together"
•The song "Reaching Out" was irrelevant to the specific scene and plot, and it was the FOURTH song about Marinette believing in herself (there were seven). It also didn't make sense, since she was supposed to be sad over Adrien but sang about crap that wasn't even related.
• The fight sequence was forced, cringy and Gabriel's redemption didn't have enough buildup for it to leave a touching feeling.
• The last battle was too short, and the heroes were defeated immediately. No elegant fight, just a pity win.
• Random, Lazy Dialogues between the characters
• They never explained WHY it would be bad to make the ultimate wish to bring Adrien's mom back (that made them look like the bad guys lol)
• Chloe kept talking about Adrien but they never interacted, so it was unclear if they even knew each other.
• Lacked the flirting of Ladynoir (not passive aggressive bickering), and the Friendliness of Adrienette.
• "My Lady" and "Bugaboo" (FAR better than "Watermelon" and "Sidekick")
• The final Kiss was cut off, as if the movie hadn't been disappointing enough.
Let's demand an Extended Director's Cut...
I am with you
yeaaahh… they added too much songs 😞😭
You made a good Harley Quinn impression, good enough to be a voice actor for her 😁😁
I feel so bad for Max Mittleman. He probably hated having to record this version of Plagg.
one of my favs song is alone again by Adrien but idk why in the netflix version of the film it doesnt exist hahaha in spotify it is in the og playlist, and in the premiere it was also, so sad that here no
20:00 I really LOVE villain songs too! I screamed of happiness when I saw the movie!
I've been waiting for this.
Watching the movie in cinema was a great experience
It was in cinema for you?
@@LuciesCafe Jupp, here in Germany
8:48 My little cousin and I had the same reaction when we saw the photo while watching the movie 😂🤣
I think while it has its flaws the movie was extremely great!
Also, both second and third movie are in production already, second is in the writing phase and was once again confirmed for 2026 (but possible it will be pushed on)
i cant wait for it
I want to see more Tiki in this art style. She hadn't much screen time here
I had the same reaction to seeing Luka! 😂
Zamber: " to see what's diffrent thaen the orinal" Me : "oh it is so more diffrent"
In my opinion people who liked the movie's portrayals of the characters are just adding aspects of the show characters onto them. Like i can’t imagine someone actually thinking adrien and marinette were more likeable in the movie than the show. They are just selecting the aspects of them they like the from the show and putting them on the movie characters to make their favorite version.
In the movie, Adrien wasn’t shy, reserved, innocent and naive. He didn’t show any act of kindness, empathy or forgiveness. He didn’t seem to have any unfamiliarity with the world beyond his home. He didn't seem to struggle making friends. And for Marinette, she is just a generic protagonist. Reminded me a lot of Disney characters like Elsa. In the show, Marinette is someone who helps those who have insecurities. She cares deeply for others, putting their feelings and interests before her own. Movie Marinette is the one insecure about herself and some inspirational one-liners are enough to gain her confidence. In the show, Marinette while still struggling with self-confidence and self-esteem, that‘s not her entire personality.
Marinette’s arc of accepting to be Ladybug in the Origins episode felt real and natural but the movie arc was just filled with meaningless songs and cliche one liners.
They both fell for each other over bare minimum interactions. Marinette didn’t fall for Adrien because he showed vulnerability and opened his heart to her but because he tried to help her up after being weirded out by her. She thought he was attractive and that’s it. And it goes to nowhere as she starts having romantic moments with Cat Noir. Honestly the plot of Marinette falling for Adrien is pointless. Their development happens through a montage. They tried to force the lovesquare but it just didn't work. Cat Noir didn’t fall for Ladybug because she is intelligent, confident and strong but because she saved him from crushing under a train. Again, another bare minimum interaction. The only argument people who prefer movie Adrienette have is that Marinette can properly talk to Adrien… And that just makes me really angry because that is both untrue and very insensitive.
Anyway I’m tired. Maybe I’ll edit this later and add more of my thoughts.
F A C T S
You couldn't have explained it better. I hate the movie and this sums up most of the reasons of why I do
Explained brilliantly
OMG THANK YOU! FINALLY SOMEONE SAID WHAT HAD TO BE SAID!
Thank you! I've tried to explain this multiple times. In the movie the characters don't have any growth. The show may have bad writing but at least they don't give them plain aspects
I felt really disappointed the movie wasn't cracked up to what i expected and i don't mind song's in movies but seriously did they really have to be so fuckin long like bruh 90% of the songs took up half the movie and not only that didn't really get to explore some important details the animation and the character designs are beautiful but other than that it felt meh
The songs only took 13~ minutes of the movie and if anything they actually used the songs to explore the animations and details
@@passarovoador6662 even if it was 13 mins or more it still took up half the movie I'm sure nobody would have complained about the songs if it didn't and you can still explore the animation without the songs
@@passarovoador6662 Hmmm its more like 20 minutes. But i feel like some of the songs, especially reaching out, just don't fit. At all. They could have done with a few less songs.
Keep "If i believed in me"
"You are ladybug"
"Chaos reigns today"
"Courage in me" and
"Stronger together"
and get rid of all the other songs. Especially reaching out.
Love the "Regular Show" refferences! XD
1. I agree any time there is a romantic song from one to another that is all i can hear too...
2. If Gabriel knows...what is the meaning of the end? The butterfly miraculous is returned so will Natalie become the new villain with the peacock? Gabe already knows the identities...
3. When do we really have closure against Lila/Cerise/pathalogical Liar? I really just want to see her completely put in her place against everyone that has ever believed her lies...
Hey Zamber, what do you think of Mayura taking back the Butterfly Miraculous and becoming the movie's version of Shadow Moth? Would you like that?
• I thought I was the only one that felt like everyone had three different friggin voices in this film.
• The action scenes were cool, but the last battle could’ve been longer and more dramatic.
• I didn’t mind most of the subtle differences from the show, including the lore and the power sets of the Miraculous.
• The duet song was the only good one.
• We actually got Reveals that weren’t illusions or f***ed up by time travel crap.
I think _one of_ my only big gripes in this movie is the clear difference between some singing voices compared to speaking voices. They couldve tried harder to find similar voices or made the VAs train in singing.
Also the lyrics in Chat Noirs' song to Ladybug are different... I wont lie, the French version is alot more romantic ;;
At the start that Mari voice caught me of guard the first song
Hi! This is off topic, but did you see animated movie named "Nimona"? I highly recommend it!
This movie has some of the best songs I've ever heard in an animated movie.
29:29 During this scene I was like "Where did the ice cream go?" lol
I just watched this movie last night at work and let me say that scene when he was playing the piano and singing with ladybug IT PISSED ME OFF BECAUSE SHE REJECTED HIM 😭😭
I think Gabriel started to lose his sanity after season 3
Omg, here in Germany i watched the movie in the cinema two times and we didn't get to see the basement scene! And i stayed during the whole credits. And unfortunately, we can't see the movie on german Netflix. 😭
Same, I was so confused, since me and my friend waited through all the credits
I would imagine the next movie We will see rena, queen bee and carapace. Mayura will probably break Gabriel out of prison and maby marinettes and Adrien’s identety is revealed to the other 3. and then a third movie could be the other heroes
I love the pro luka energy so much!
I’m sorry but one of the highlights of the show’s origins was Alya, I’m so mad that they ignored her in this. What happened to Ladybug being a smart and creative heroine? She doesn't use her lucky charm once in this movie
+ The character designs in this movie look generic. They all lost their sparks and personalities and became generic Western animation characters. The only way you can tell that boy Luka is thanks to his blue hair. They even whitewashed characters like Alya and Alix.
@@polypus1994I’m glad they got rid of her lucky charm. If you think about it, it doesn’t make any sense.
Cat noir gets one power: cataclysm.
Ladybug gets two powers: lucky charm and the miraculous ladybug.
The way they did it in the movie balanced them out. She has her ladybug sense which is great. I think the rest of the flaws come down to it was just a little too short for the story they wanted to tell.
@@shadamyandsonamylover It does. Marinette creates designs and clothes as a civilian and creates objects as a superhero. Her lucky charm is her signature. Getting rid of it was a bad decision, among all the other bad decisions made in this movie
@@polypus1994 imo the movie is much more balanced. Plenty of people have made videos about it (the show) but the show has a power problem and an uneven protagonist problem. Marinette’s powers in particular are so over the top that there are hardly any consequences in the show for her actions. Adrien and Mari don’t need to care as much about how they do their job since Mari will just fix everything in the end.
You can see this in the S5 finale where Chat Noir is super reckless (and other episodes but the finale is fresh on my mind). And in the show they have been doing this for 12 months! Unlike the 4 months in the movie. Adrien is smarter than that, but they don’t write him that way due to plot convenience.
@@shadamyandsonamyloverthe show is actually roughly 9 months ._.
I got major Scar from lion king vibes with Gabriel's song ngl xD
Adrien is so adorable 💛
Honestly Hawkie looks good in a top hat
In fact I once thought a hero version of Hawk Moth would have that
When I watched the movie for the first time, I literally had to take a break after careless whispers started playing because I was taken so offfgaurd
Well, I more or less agree with your thoughts on the Gabriel/Adrien dynamic. After all, it's true that subtlety is not your friend in a 90-minute runtime and you really do need to be more concise in your message. Still, there ARE glints of the psychology behind the characters, peeking through the cracks. If you look closely enough, you can see that Adrien and Gabriel are essentially in the same boat, in that they've both been isolated by their grief. I saw one review of the movie which described Adrien as just kind of "sleepwalking through life", in the wake of Emilie's death (which is not an unfair assessment), and in his own way, Gabriel was doing very much the same thing. The only difference is that Adrien came to the realization that he couldn't get through this alone, so he kept reaching out to Gabriel for help, only to not get it. But then the Miraculous came his way, along with Ladybug, and THAT kind of became his support system (even if it WAS largely a distraction).
On the other hand, we see Gabriel doing what he's doing. But even though it's not explicitly stated, I believe he'd convinced himself that he was doing this as much for Adrien's benefit as his own. And you can kind of see that in how this version of Gabriel chooses his targets more carefully. Sure, the first guy was an innocent victim, but that's because it was a test run, more than anything, and Gabriel wasn't fully in control of the process. Once he knew the power worked, though, I believe there's a reason he only chose criminals to do his bidding, after that. Because what the hell...criminals aren't nice people anyway, right? So if anything happened to them or they got hurt, he wouldn't have to feel bad about it. Granted, that hardly makes anything he did a "victimless crime" because he was still endangering the lives of THOUSANDS of people. But I believe that, in HIS mind, this was the one frayed thread still tethering him to his humanity, in the vain hope that, when it was all said and done, he could take SOME comfort in the knowledge that he wouldn't have turned into a COMPLETE monster and could still go back to being the husband and father that he was.
But then, we get the scene between Gabriel and Adrien, where Adrien absolutely lays into him, because he'd just gotten his heart broken, and that was the last straw, and all this frustration he'd been carrying around had finally reached a boiling point. So when THAT happened, suddenly Gabriel saw EVERYTHING just slipping away, and it was all too much. Hence, why he turned the power on himself, because at that point, he was simply THAT desperate. Now, would a couple more scenes with Gabriel have helped to clarify his descent into this mindset? Yes. Absolutely. But much like the "Adrienette" moments, I think they were hoping that the montage would be enough to illustrate it.
As for any sequels (I did hear that the next movie is slated for a 2026 release, but that's internet scuttlebutt, so take it for what it's worth), I couldn't even begin to guess what's going to happen there, either, except to say that I HOPE we get to enjoy the payoffs that this movie gave us (even if that fade-out at the end WAS a cheap sucker punch and I sincerely hope someone got a good kick in the shins for THAT). Who knows? Maybe we'll get to see more balanced versions of our loving pair, going forward, with Marinette's newfound confidence possibly making her a more lighthearted Ladybug and Adrien maybe being a more serious Cat Noir, having worked through his grief and no longer needing to lean on that identity as an emotional crutch.
That being said, while that follow-up scene at the end made it pretty clear where a second movie would be going, they could just break away with a third and do something completely different now, if they want to. Because honestly, there are a lot of story beats and plots they could pull from that wouldn't even NEED Gabriel or Emelie in the mix to make them work. Hell, outside of the "Agreste Arc", they'd probably work BETTER, because they'd be allowed to stand on their own and could be explored in more depth.
Anyway, in conclusion, I saw another review for this movie, and that one raised a very interesting point...Can you imagine what it must feel like to be Thomas Astruc right now? I mean, you've been hacking away at this show for five Seasons now ("hack", being the operative word here, as at least half of it has been a complete garbage fire, let's not lie to ourselves). And after the fifth Season wraps, your BOSS, who basically said, "Hold my beer", comes swooping in, not a month later, and in 90 MINUTES, shows off a better product than YOU'VE managed to put together in EIGHT YEARS ("Yeah, that's how it's done, b[BEEP!]tch! Mic drop! Buh-bye!"). I mean, what do you SAY to that?
At least, that's just my thinking on it.
Well we do see Gabriel in his office in the Monarch Rings episode designing a outfit on a tablet
Even when the visuals and music are stunning, it’s easy to critique the movie’s liberties from the show as it felt pretty rushed and the lack of Cristina Vee singing (even though Lou is phenomenal). But regardless, I cannot hate it. This movie is still really fun and charming.
This movie may have a few small faults but I honestly love this movie! It fixes a lot of my issues with the show and I can’t wait to see where this time line goes! Edit: It seems like Natalie will be the main villain of Movie 2 and it’ll be interesting to see if we get to see Chloe, Alia, and Nino get their miraculous as well
Same I actually rily don’t understand why people are so hard on the movie. It’s pretty much what I expected so I can’t complain too much. It is literally a fan fiction come to life and the director even admitted it
@@lunarialoonatic ITs how Jerremy Zag wished the series would have been and honestly I wish Jeremy could have pushed to do it this way. just think about how the show would be if we got this style of ladybug (not animation but story telling) it would have been amazing!
in the villain song hawk moth reminded me of the shadow man in princess and the frog
Lol i laughed when cat noir said “What are you supposed to be? A watermelon?”
Well they did explain it in an interview
The movie only took place in 3 months the final battle was in October. Marinette hasn’t fully discovered her abilities as ladybug yet
Never watched the show but watched tons of entertaining reviews of people ripping it apart. And yeah the show is a damn mess. The more "unique" feature of the show is the love square which as you said sounds cute on paper but my god I could not bare to watch the stupid will they won't they for 5. 5 entire seasons. All I know from the show is the reviews of it, and what I got was, Marinette is a stalker who is obsessed with this poor teenage boy, said teenage boy lives a miserable life being objectified by all the romantic rivals Marinette gets rid of throughout the show because it's "romantic", the side characters barely matter, and the only one who does (Chloe) gets vilified and deemed as a forever evil entity (she is 14).
My god. Miraculous is a mess. So I watched the movie. And... gonna be honest I really liked it. It's trashy fun. It's a lighthearted and very sweet. Gone are the stalker tendencies, gone are the continuous advances after the girl said no, replaced with genuinely charming banter and building of a friendship between both identities at the same time (Adrien + Marinette, Ladybug + Chat Noir). I truly believe the only reason people find this movie so good or better than the show is because... sadly this movie did what the show didn't in 5 seasons. The bare f**king minimum. I don't blame the movie for being rushed or having very bare bone fleshing out of characters, they did have to cram 5 seasons into an hour and 40 min.
There are things the movie could have done better. Honestly the music was fine but not everything needs to be a musical. Coming as someone who loves musicals, this should not have been one. The show itself isn't. It could have been 10 - 15 min longer. Why did we need so many scenes with Marinette's parents. She gets a lot of scenes with them for some reason but the one character who NEEDED scenes with his parent barely gets 2. Like come on. Give those min of screentime to Adrien and Gabriel Agreste instead. And then use the rest of those min to flesh out the romance of the characters a little more. Especially when they're "off mask" (Why the hell would Marinette 'choose' Adrien, the guy she's barely friends with, over Cat Noir, who she has been through so much with and saved her life so many times)
But you know what. It's fine. It's a perfectly fine movie. Nothing too wrong about it, it's a movie to truly turn your brain off and enjoy with popcorn. Some scenes are genuinely so charming. Some of the jokes are quite funny, the action scenes are an absolute delight. I have to say my favorite scene in the entire movie was when the two protags just stopped for a second to have some fun and play fight. I don't know why but my god that was so cute. Like for once you can see a little bit past these fearsome powerful heroes and realize the teenagers they are inside. Who just stop for a second after their constant lives of danger, to have wholesome fun with each other. I loved that.
… I have been WAITING FOR THIS! 😍 Will be tuned in tonight!
Adrian was done dirty... being casted off to the sidelines most of the movie... even when Gabriel quit, somehow marrinate saw it was him but adrian didnt see it was her? And the jump to winter like "WHAT" what happened in that time...not gonna tell me marrinette couldnt have told him that shes LB during that time... adrian/cat noir got "shafted" again like during and after season 2 of the show
The first interaction with Adrian and Marinette the way he's trying to help her up give me yandere simulator vibes
Fortunately for everyone, Marinette does not become... well Marinette from the series
23:20 This entire song is a Show Yourself and Into the Unknown ripoff
Both miraculous and frozen 2 have those songs
