Marinette’s first transformation scene in Syren: the usual. boring. clearly the animator’s can’t be bothered to do more than a happy or sad sequence.
The reality: Marinette struggling to stay hidden inside a crate on the water. awkwardly sticking a leg out while transforming. getting soaked by water every time she tries to do her usual cutesy spin. finishing her transformation by spitting out water over the side of the crate with the oar digging into her side.
