So, remember that scene from "Collusion" (thank you, Season 5, I hate the way you named your episodes because it's fucking confusing) where Caline kissed her wife?
This one ☝️
Now I give you the Russian dub of this scene
Translation:
Gisèle (on background): Caline!
Caline (running towards Gisèle): Sister!
Yes, you heard that right. The Russian dub of Season 5 made Caline and Gisèle "sisters"... That's bad because we all know how fucking homophobic Russia is.
BUT THESE IDIOTS DIDN'T EVEN CUT THE KISS AFTER CALINE CALLED HER WIFE "SISTER"!!!
THE RUSSIAN DUB MADE THEM INCESTIOUS SISTERS!!! RIDICULOUS, UTTERLY RIDICULOUS!!!
("Fun" Fact: in Russia, LGBTQ+ is branded as an "extremist and terroristic organization", while incest is still pretty much okay here. There is no penalty for incest, while for "gay propaganda", you will be ashamed and can be fined)
They also made Zoé confession from "I love you, Marinette" to "I'm in love with a boy but I'm afraid to tell you this", which is also bad, but that is beside the point.
Conclusion: The Russian Dub of Season 5 sucks harder than Season 5 itself!
I've been saying this for a while now! And when they come up with some pretty words in his script like "It's me an you against the world my lady" to make it seem like his character actually cares and has depth. But all it is is that, PRETTY WORDS. Where are the actions behind those words? How are u and her against the world, if the very moment shit hits the fan u want to quit, or runoff, or sacrifice yourself. How is that backing up any of your words?! I've said this time and time again, but the day I start back watching miraculous is the day y'all scrap all this nonsense and start bringing weight to those pretty poetical words. (Which is most likely never. Hah!)

Have you seen Glaciator 2? That one scene where Adrichat attempts to destroy all these advertisement things felt so much like the writers trying to convince the audience that Chat actually does respect Ladybugs rejection. Tbh I would’ve been fine with that, but OF COURSE ADRIEN GOES BACK TO BEING A SIMP, MAKING THIS “ARC” COMPLETELY POINTLESS

Chat Noir using cataclysm on the billboards is a mixed bag. On one hand, he seems to be actually considering that Ladybug won’t love me. On the other hand, he’s destroying more property out of anger. Either way, he’ll probably be praised by the Stans for maturing somehow.
Here’s the thing about the whole billboard thing, and I feel like some people miss it because they’re not thinking about it (which I understand because it’s a narrative trap):
Adrien/Chat is all about theatrics. His biggest statements and actions that are supposed to show his “dedication” to Marinette/Ladybug are for show. They don’t mean anything, and they’re purposefully exaggerated/done in such a way for the fans to latch onto them. I’ve already talked about “Ladybug” where the episode makes a big deal about Adrien “““standing up to Lila”““ and then immediately giving her what she wants while not bothering to inform anyone else about her actions, but this is yet another example.
Question: what is Chat actually achieving by Cataclysming the billboards?
Answer: Nothing. He’s committing vandalism that won’t actually do anything in the end. The news didn’t catch the meaning (seeming more preoccupied with Alya taking the LadyNoir pictures down) and the billboards would most likely just get put back up again anyway.
Instead of facing Paris and admitting that he was wrong (oh hi “Miraculous New York,” when did you get here?), he takes the easiest and most dramatic way out, at best making himself feel better and nothing else. Same applies to him sacrificing himself when he knows that Miraculous Ladybug will bring him back anyway.
No risk, all the reward. He doesn’t have to admit that he’s been stupid, doesn’t have to even stand up for Ladybug (this was a similar thing with Lila too, by the way; remember when Lila smack-talked Ladybug and he said nothing?), and he certainly doesn’t have to go on live TV and tell people to stop shipping LadyNoir because it makes Ladybug upset.
You can even add to that with him blatantly taking advantage of Plagg by transforming over and over again, but point being that him Cataclysming the billboard is for show. It’s a trap so he won’t have to do any actual work while also getting all of the credit.
It just says that his imagination is very limited, and he has no creativity. Which is fucking ironic, considering he's an A class fashion designer.✋😭
Heya, just curious, but what do you think of Gabriel actually being smart since the introduction and thinking of simply akumatizing himself to heal his wife since nothing says against? As in, we get to know what is the Agreste's actual plans such as world domination?
I keep saying that should have been his first move as opposed to jumping straight into villainy and attacking a city in hopes that the exact two items he needs just happen to appear.
It's made even worse when you remember that the Butterfly Miraculous is OP as all get out and can do just about ANYTHING the user imagines.
He could have akumatized himself or Nathalie or even Adrien into an akuma/champion with a healing power to revive her. All of them want her back bad enough that it would work.
He could have created an akuma that could read any language and be able to translate the grimoire.
He could have created an akuma that could foretell the future and tell him what he should do to revive his wife with the lease amount of trouble.
And if he really wanted the Ladybug and Black Cat Miraculous so badly, he could have made a tracker akuma that could just...y'know...FIND THEM.
Now, I understand that every Miraculous has limits so maybe he's not able to just do anything he wants...but given that his akumas so far have been able to, among other things: flood Paris despite it being quite a distance above sea level, create volcanos strong enough to knock the planet out of its natural orbit, destroy the world, and TIME TRAVEL...well, I'm a little hard pressed to tell just where that limit is supposed to be, since I'm pretty sure that "revive comatose wife" would be substantially easier than ANY of those things.
As it stands, either the guy is an idiot with a hard on for overly complex solutions or he's just a run of the mill villain after world domination. And it would be better for the series if they would just make up their minds which one he's supposed to be.
👏👏👏
Ughhhhh I’m already bracing myself for the inevitable pity-party the writers are gonna shove down our throats for Chat, probably ending with Ladybug being forced to apologize for being rightfully pissed off that he keeps pushing about them being a couple.
His last chunk of dialogue just screams guilt tripping, self-pity
Mam/Sir. It wasn't even a normal episode. It was the New York special. Seeing that girl crying on the literal ground in the rain for some wannabe rich boy was it for me. I said I would go back after a year, then Season 4 came out, and everyone was saying how terrible it was and... I guess I dodged a bullet. Never going back. Haven't even seen the Chinese Special.
I’m genuinely curious.
To everyone like me who jumped ship from the Lo/ve Squ/are, what was the episode that was just…essentially the final nail in the coffin?
Heck if you wanna be really specific, what episode(s) killed what side(s) of the square in particular.
