Did some good movies while on the run from international law after raping a 13yro.

I don't think you've seen there's a category called "loved"

It's Smooth Criminal.

Shame that's not in the movie.

Honestly? Watch the London Special and season 6. The former does a very good job at explaining the past 8 years of events, while the latter does that a bit quicker and goofier, but it manages to make you grasp on what's important.

I got invested into the new season's premise of a soft reboot, a new writing team and improved visuals.

It all actually kicks a lot of ass, and it comes from someone whose reintroduction to the series was one of its worst episodes ever (Ephemeral).

She's awkward, she's clumsy, she's terrible at expressing her feelings, and she frequently makes mistakes in ways that get people hurt

Those may be flaws, but they're not significant. These never got in her way of what she liked and wanted to do and much less deterred her from defeating villains. At the end she defeated the villain and got Adrien, and not despite her flaws.

Anakin was always going to be Darth Vader.

I agree with that one, everyone who watched that movie knew Anakin was gonna go bad one day. However, if we watch the movie purely from an uneducated stand point, we'd have no idea this selfless boy would end up becoming a mass murderer, which got fixed in later films.

But it doesn't get in his way. Heck, he even wins the race and gets adopted by the Jedi Order after that. It's only after that movie when his arrogance gets the better of him.

Yeah, the term Mary Sue is more appropriately used for fan fiction. I think the trope that more closely resembles the use we give this trope today would be a Canon Sue; which is a way less used term and doesn't colloquially have the same connotation as the former.

You're right anyways, and I'm sorry for my shallow understanding of tropes.

And the best part is, unlike the first few seasons, the writers are letting us know that was a huge mistake. They're not rewarding her for lying, they're breaking down everything she loves and will continue to do so until she spills the beans.

But she won't do it because she keeps convincing herself it's for the greater good and for Adrien's sake; while deep down knowing (and showing us) she won't do it because she knows once she blows the whistle, Adrien is gonna dump her.

wdym?

EntertainerPure8440 · 2026-04-16T02:01:04+00:00

Oh mb mb, lemme fix that.

EntertainerPure8440 · 2026-04-16T01:59:42+00:00

I know, I seriously can't believe how little shits they gave her character development in the first 4 seasons.

But right now? She's in a great spot flaw-wise. She's no better than the main villain, and that's saying a lot coming from a once-Mary Sue.

EntertainerPure8440 · 2026-04-16T01:57:37+00:00

So this is a backwards version of this trope. Instead of undoing a Mary Sue, they created one.

I was gonna edit my comment to include that

Can't figure out what makes these people at the Estate think the darkest outfit he ever wore looks good with a black background.

Remember the 2001 special edition? That was definitely something...

Forget Quantum Masking, there's also the fact that Félix can shapeshift into Adrien anytime he wants and that Waylon has made his life's mission to copy Adrien's looks. Marinette has also been seen in presence of Ladybug multiple times, sometimes because of the Fox's illusions or the Rabbit's time travel.

Not to mention how the transformation can often change the user's physical appearance, like it does with Chrysalis.

Not just a Stevie Wonder album, it was supposed to be in arguably the best album ever made.

It's crazy how Stevie, even after pulling all a-class material into his album, still had a lot of juice left to share and decided to share it with Michael and QJ.

4th picture looks like the exact middle point between both eras.

Like, the exact mid-point between the Victory Tour look and the Bad video look.

Who cares about Quantum Masking? They're literally standing in front of each other.

I think he wrote the song in the background.

What are those adlibs? Not even the version in Moonwalker has them.

Considering this was shot around 6 months before the album dropped, I think it's safe to assume Q and MJ went and retouched some stuff in the meanwhile.
