Volpina⎮Miraculous Ladybug Season 1 Retrospective Review

hey there and welcome back to another miraculous Ladybug season 1 retrospective review where we go over the old episodes of miraculous ladybug we haven't done reviews for and give our thoughts and we're almost there almost done vpen that's the last one for season 1 it's taken me like 2 years to actually make it here two whole years my God and here we finish off with a classic a true classic at least it is in my memory the introductory episode to Lila which pretty quickly boosted her into the position of the most hated character in the franchise even eclipsing Chloe in the end but first we got to start watching so we start off the episode following Adrian as he gets ready for school and over hears his dad raging on the phone about his employees having screwed up something to do with an upcoming fashion show my God he's really angry notice how here he still has blonde hair compared to when he dies and he has gray hair dude needs to chill out he made himself fully silver in under a year yikes and of course Adrien spies on him and watches him put a book inside a Secret Safe he keeps behind a painting of Emily and so after Gabe leaves Adrien decides hm should I potentially lose the trust of my notoriously prickly and controlling Dad yes yes I think I will not exactly his most intelligent moment but okay sometimes that happens he is a teenager and so with some plag coercion he busts into the safe and discovers a book A book filled with miraculouses and superheroes and inside he finds pictures of his ring the cat user and a butterfly and its user although has he even met hwk moth yet like here and also later in the episode he seems to be able to recognize him on on site but I thought they've only ever seen that big butterfly head projector oh well who cares also the fact that Gabe has this book and it takes until the end of season 5 for them to figure out that he's hwk moth yikes I mean I get that Marinette does suspect him at first and he throws them off the scent with his actions but still the fact that he has this book in the first place would have to suggest that at least he knows more than he's letting on right anyway moving on we head over to the school where we get our first look at Lyla who before classes have even started has seemingly been hard at work sewing her lies throughout the cohort saying she's a close friend of Prince Ari the jagged Stone's written a song about her she knows all the Hollywood directors and can introduce Nino to them at some point and on top of that she even knows ladybug I know she's Perfect Isn't she she was rescued by her once and already we can see that everybody in this entire school has been hit with the idiot stick everybody just believes all of this with no verification when I was in school this would very quickly become obvious that she was lying especially since they're not Little White Lies they're actually huge Whoppers my God but of course Marinette notices that she's flirting with Adrien and that's what she cares about more and she panics in spirals because how's she meant to compete with somebody like that also poor Adrian can this guy not meet a single girl who's not going to harass him that is not the face of a man who consents and during the course of her Panic she's told to settle down by Alia who claims that her interview with lla has gotten her the most hits on her blog ever on the lady blog didn't she legitimately have a sit down interview with ladybug did she not no is that a fever dream of mine and if so how did that not have more views than this video of a random person it's absurdity also I know that marinette's framed as being jealous here which she is but she's also just right in every single way she's right has everybody taken crazy pills have they been hypnotized what's going on it's all very confusing also Tiki just leaping out of her pocket in the middle of the school Courtyard where anybody could see her come on Tiki Marinette then stalks the pair and follows them into the library where Lyla is going to do her history homework with Adrien but I got to ask isn't this their first day how does she have history homework already what's going on here and why would Adrien decide to read this book out in the open when he's with somebody it feels foolish feels stupid feels forced anyway Lyla sees it she gets jealous when Adrien gushes about ladybug which in turn makes her decide that creeping on him getting in his personal space and lying about being ladybug's close personal friend is the best way to go about winning this guy over cringe also the facial animations on some of these shots is wacky as hell my God you know it's trash but I'll miss when they update the graphics cuz these are just classic and so after causing a ruckus Marinette hides under the table like a bit of a creeper whilst Adrien runs off to his fencing class and Lyla swipes the book to have a look and discovers a fox- based superhero Ohan Tiki convinces Marinette that they need to start stalking Lyla in order to figure out what's going on with the book so you know I guess the quami does not fall far from the tree like replicates like no wonder marinetta stalker with this kind of example being set by her otherworldly friend also she doesn't explain anything to Marinette she's just like trust trust trust me bro we got to stalk them trust me anyway they follow around town a bit into a jewelry store then into the park where Lyla dumps this very obviously old and rare book into the trash lovely girl I'm so salty about that I don't even know why but it's like that's like one one of a kind what and this forces Marinette and Tiki to retrieve it retrieve it dumpster dive gross for one but also come on like look at this look how close they are and she's not even really hidden Adrian's even facing her when she's hiding behind the bin anyway Lyla starts talking tremendous about how she's descended from a superhero herself and that vulpine is in fact far more celebrated and important and powerful than ladybug ever was okay and so Marinette rages and this is actually rather funny then she runs out into the street they don't notice her Running Away by the way and then she transforms in public with no hiding in front of buildings with windows and doors and cars and then I got to say this this scene it's premium cringe like in a good way it's actually written well because it shows that Marinette is rather flawed and the show has her very much act her age so immature to go about telling the truth in such a brutal way I I honestly had to somewhat skip through it it was eye watering cringe I'd say this and then that scene where Marinette tries to kiss the doll of Adrien like the wax figure oh I feel ill just thinking about that one and yeah Adrian's very much side eyeing this whole thing he even calls her oute on it and by the look on her face it was at this moment that he knew he up and so Lyla runs off crying because she got humiliated like why wouldn't you you literally just got humiliated by the world's most famous superhero at least France's most famous superhero imagine if Spider-Man just swung down on you in Manhattan or something and said you're a douchebag and then left that's what's happened to her in front of the most popular famous guy in school there's no coming back from that I mean even the show acknowledges this because this whole incident is so bad that she doesn't come back to school for like most of the year right anyway hawy sends out is Akuma and she's transformed into vpen and she creates an illusion of a meteor I think anyway and so Adrien goes off to investigate this is Kat Noir alongside ladybug only the witness vulpen come out of nowhere and push it out into space and this gets her a lot of instant Goodwill with the people of Paris they start cheering her name they're shouting they're you know looking at her she's become famous pretty quick although if it was me I'd be a bit apprehensive about a hero who claims I'm the only hero you need after you've already had two really successful superheroes in Paris sounds like a call out superhero drama also I feel like every space monitoring organization in the world would be currently in meltdown because they've somehow missed a huge ass meteor coming straight for Paris that would realistically level the whole city with the shock wave right and maybe even more you just know that until volpa was publicly revealed to be a villain there would have been some very angry and awkward phone calls being fielded and so ladybug's deeply salty but no time for that because Hawk moth is here he's standing on a rooftop not at all suspiciously but yeah ladybug ain't having this but it's starting to make cracks in the team because kir is looking at her like she's having a meltdown but they try to take him down vulpina sends kir off on a wild goose chase before she ambushes ladybug and she uses her illusion powers to create a bunch of rockets and missiles that hover just above her and she almost manages to win as she sends a rocket at a building and seemingly starts to bring it down only for a pigeon to get hit hit by the rubble that is and for the illusion to completely disperse foiled by a pigeon talk about getting humiliated somewhere out there Mr pigeon has a smile on his face and so the battle begins but it turns out she was just an illusion because she's heading over to Adrian's house to kidnap him seduce him win him over whatever although we got to ask if her plan hadn't failed with the pigeon if she hadn't been there how is she going to pick up the miraculouses at all hm interesting but yeah Kat nois made his way to his house as Adrian as he got a call from ladybug telling him what's up and so ladybug crashes the party the battle begins Adrian goes to hide in the bathroom to R transform and join in not going to lie this battle sucks the action in this episode is Bad the quality actually looks way down from usual in this episode in terms of the animation like the assets and whatnot I'm not sure what happened here just it's noticeably bad but lla takes Adrien or an illusion of Adrien to the Eiffel Tower pretends to drop him you know fails because it's revealed to be an illusion lucky charm it's a shiny chocolate wrapper that reflects light the real vulpa gets blinded the illusion vulas don't cat and uses cataclysm and somehow somehow somehow this creates a cage sure it does they win ladybug apologizes Lyla swears Revenge Kat's awkwardly standing there saying ouch and Hulk moth also swears Revenge because of course he did and he says he's going to bring back vulpen but not for ages I guess the end of season two and then we finish off with Lady Bug almost bursting on on Adrian in the shower almost Chang genre just then because of course Adrian was forced to race home to keep his cover intact Marinette then goes and takes the book to master Foo Adrien panics because he's lost the book and that's the end big episode a lot of development but I just think it's such a shame the action was kind of bland and dull even compared to much of season 1 it stood out as being noticeably bad and the animation was trash here you can't win them all the story was good though and so with all that being said these have just been my opinions and I'd like to hear yours what do you think of the episode you like it hate it I'm curious if your thoughts so make sure to like comment and subscribe and let me know
