  • So, here's the deal right. I had no idea that this Miraculous Ladybug comic existed. And my god. It really does suck. Like, seriously. Kind of garbage in so many ways. Shoutout to a reddit post I saw with a panel from this comic. It got me on the scent... my god haha. No wonder it was cancelled. Seriously, you have to see it to believe it.

    There’s something ironic with Fu stating that there are no “cruel” kwamis cause people aren’t like that, whilst Thomas is hellbent on a fictional 15 year old girl being the spawn of Satan and incapable of being good

      Apparently kindess and cruelty are LEARNED behaviors... So explain to me, who was the first person to start it? Was it just self taught I guess? As if being territorial and aggressive isn't an extremely common trait in the wild... If anything its the opposite. Its INSTINCT to retaliate or be selfish, not a learned skill.

      @@lasercraft32 it is learned... a child is a clean slate they do something and either are rewarded or punished based on the people around them. it's 50/50 that they do something kind or cruel but it's not with any intent just because they thought it was okay.
      If a child is being kind but gets trampled on and treated like a joke it'll try yelling and screaming (maybe a bit of violence). If they get attention from it... (most importantly, what they wanted) they LEARN that being cruel is how they get what they want.

      ​@@sabertoothno34you're right, but there's clearly different types of learned behaviors. It's all technically learned, but there's traits that have to be taught to a child and then there're traits that naturally develop in some children and need to be taken care of early. Just because no one explicitly taught the child bad traits doesn't mean they won't develop those traits. There are behaviors that are actually taught or learned through observations, and then there are behaviors that develop on their own out of instinct, they are not the same.

    Marinette being naked is made worse by the fact that they had Chloe steal her clothes, and for some reason retcon her T-shirt and such that you pointed out, just so she can be naked. Normally a detail like that wouldn't matter, but in this case it does! What does this even add to the comic? What is the actual justification?
    Look, this kinda stuff might have it's place somewhere, but with adults only. When you do this with minors, it just becomes weird and creepy. Also they didn't do the same thing to Adrien?? Do you smell that??

    About Marinette running nude across New York, I think it's the comic doing the classic, but understandably awkward cartoon trope where a character runs around naked in public and trying not to get seen by someone. The best example I could provide is _The Fairly OddParents_ episode, "Crime Wave", where Timmy runs around in Dimmsdale naked after wishing to be at the local comic book store. It also included a subplot where the Crimson Chin must battle against H2Olga while also babysitting. So, that's all I could explain, but it still doesn't stop this trope from being super awkward in the comics (I'm trying to avoid using the overused word), especially since _Miraculous Ladybug_ uses semi-detailed, semi-realistic designs for their characters.

This is why the not Justice League is like “they’re SoOo FrEnCh” when Ladybug & Cat Noir ask for 10 minutes for themselves.

A team of people had to approve this and they thought this was okay? Especially that outfit they gave Marinette. I know this show/comics isn't known for their fashion. which is a rant for another day with Marinette being a fashion student. Like come on! there is so much good black street fashion out there. Y2K fashion and other street fashion was literally popular when the comics came out. You gave us that! That comic went to the trash immediately.

    So, the first "Sooooo French" makes sense because there is a stereotype here in the US that French people are hyper-romantic and sexual. I don't know what the implication of the second "She's Sooooooo French" is supposed to be.
    With the controversial scene, why was Marinette naked? She was never that way for all her other transformations. The entire scenario feels forced. For all you fellow 'Muricans talking about how Marinette would have been right in her assumption, you're soft, and sheltered, leave your suburbs or small town and go downtown for once. Aside from that, yeah, imagine not assuming that they were movers.
    It's possible they had good intentions when they wrote that. Astruc has said that the point was that Marinette was stereotyping them. At the same time, there is such little care put into the idea, from the forced scenario to the weird street names it shows that at best, it was put in there so the writers could be on their moral high horse, and at worse, it's what Mr. Pants said, someone's thinly veiled script for BLACKED. I need to go back to those street names, though. I get why they named a dude Public Enemy, "Oh yeah, famous protest artists Public Enemy," Sure, though I don't know why that would be someone's nickname. Ghettoblaster? F6cking Ghettoblaster? How much do you guys want to bet that the writers for this comic don't even know what Ghettoblasting is?
    It would've been a somewhat funny moment if Marinette was like "Sorry for thinking you guys are criminals" and then the family responded with "It's okay, when we saw you in that box, we thought you were a crackhead." Alas, they probably can't say "crackhead" in a children's comic and I'm not sure if French has an equivalent or if that type of humor would land.

    The “evil can be innate, just look at serial killers” this is uncomfortable since many things go into if someone chooses to be cruel. Ignorance, anger, social situation, mental health, family and background..
    I’m certain that being a cruel murderer is a choice and there are ways to help and raise those who have mental health issues so they don’t make that choice. Meanwhile there are people who are not mentally unwell who chose to hurt people because they have decided they don’t care about others- usually because they have tons of power or because they want to have that power over others

    also I hate that when it was revealed that Adrian's truncks survived his transformation my brain went "Yeah, a female who lost her clothes, people will help her and dress her. A dude loses his clothes, He gets arrested." the double standard is backed into the brain. Would have been better to NOT do the swim plot and clothing malfunction AT ALL. but they needed to pad the run time I guess
    Ain't no way they made a black superhero who calls himself "Public Enemy"

    From the first comic, I can tell the artist is a My Little Pony fan. Not that it's a bad thing but just saying I could tell that the artist must have been drawing pony art since the face shapes kind of match up with how Fanart was styled. I'm not 100% sure since it's been years.

    I don't find these comics all that bad, because I've seen fanfictions with similar storylines and nonsensical lines. Regardless of the age and gender of the writers, it's just them using shock value comedy of the characters ending up either naked or in awkward situations. I do however think that situations like these in the comics should be done with adult characters, not teenagers who are barely 14.

Like “wow, even in the face of mass destruction, ofc the French guys would be like “NoPe, It'S mY lUnCh BrEaK rIgHt NoW” and take a 10 minute break” lol it’s still very dumb imo but this is my guess which I think would at least make more “sense” in a very Emily in Paris sort of way lol however I honestly have no sort of explanation to the 2nd sooo French lol best guess is Astruc could’ve sworn that his first soooo French joke was soooo Funny and that a “recall” to it would work??…somehow??

    But anyway, I do feel like the Info about Kwamis is probably the only thing worthwhile with these Comics, at least based on this.
    By the way, I feel like there’s a couple of Fan-Webcomics that is probably way better than this, if you’re interested i could recommend them to you?

  • @ReginaMacKenzie1994
    @ReginaMacKenzie1994 4 месяца назад +16

    As an American I can answer some of these. First, older American tourists used to tell their kids that Paris wasn't very welcoming; enough Americans had bad experiences there from the 70s-90s that it became a bit of a stereotype that Parisians were rude; but similar stereotypes exist within America about various American cities (most particularly New York City, but not exclusively). Second, Americans often romanticize France as the most romantic nation in Europe (and really all the world), so a French supermodel and the lady stalking him being fetishized comes from that. Third, American cities often are crime-ridden, poverty-ridden, disease-ridden, corrupt dystopian nightmares full of every conceivable social evil known to man; most people are terrified of Chicago, Cleveland, Baltimore, Los Angeles, New York City, DC, etc. for very real reasons and encountering those men Marinette encountered alone at night (especially as a teenage young lady) would often mean certain death in the various slums of a city like New York City; or a fate even worse. Like it or not, Marinette would often be correct in inferring that those men were stealing; and I can assure you that theft would likely be the least of an NYC gangs crimes in real life. Yes those specific ones turned out to be vigilantes but believe me you do not want to be approached by a crew of such men when you are anywhere alone in the USA, especially not in NYC. The risks are third-world-slum levels all over the US but especially in the cities. Even some of the smaller communities can be very dangerous. Most of Mississippi is basically a violent, lawless, impoverished third-world country and it isn't safe to drink the tap water in most Mississippi counties. Even places without AS MUCH VIOLENT crime are still often rife with scammers, thieves, robbers, burglars, traffickers, and illicit dealers (West Virginia is an example of this). So, as absurd as this comic is, it isn't as far from the truth as you seem to think.

    9:57 The " We need a moment of privacy. Ten minutes tops!" does make it sound like an inappropriate joke. If you cut that line out, the joke could have been they were doing a "French exit", that's why it's "Sooo French". The term "French exit" means leaving a place without telling other people where you're going and not asking permission to leave.
    Unfortunately, the previous line, the shocked expression, I'm pretty sure it was intended be an inappropriate joke.

    • @bluetiger2468
      @bluetiger2468 4 месяца назад +2

      12:41 Okay, here it is a "French exit" joke. Weirdly enough, I feel like having that joke twice was a way to pretend like the first time they made the joke wasn't inappropriate. But even then, they ruined the "French exit" joke because she explained why she was leaving "To save the world of course". That means it wasn't actually a "French exit" and the guy shouldn't have said "Sooo French".

    "Is french people being horny a common American stereotype?"
    YES! I am french and I can confirm that for some reason Americans think Europeans, and us French in particular, are indeed horny. I blame it on both Paris being stereotyped as the "City of Love and Romance" and on the genuine fact that our standards regarding sexual content and censors aren't as strict as for Americans (Code Lyoko, one of my favourite shows, is apparentely considered very fanservicy in America, when in our own country it's considered about average).
