YALL FOLLOW MY INSTAGRAM @jvvrarts!! THIS IS WHERE I’LL BE POSTING THE MOST FOR THE TIME BEING!!
Ok it's 5 am and I can't sleep so here's a mini revelator rant but what annoyed me the most about the episode is how we get 4 different themes / plot points in one episode and none of them are truly exploited like they could have been
We start off with the miraculers team and their training. It's not relevant to this episode at all. Shouldn't it have been in the first one? Since when does Chat Noir know their identities? I wanted to see more of that. I love seeing hero training and lesrning their powers, it leads to great character and relationship development.
Then we to Adrien's fame, first as a model and then as the son the "hero Gabriel". It is relevant because Revelator happens, but it feels like it could have been an entire episode about it. Or even several honestly. It feels like Adrien is only famous when it's plot relevant
We get the Alya stuff, which I think is the best exploited here. Alya learned the truth, and now Marinette knows how bad she fucked up. Fine we'll see how it plays out at the end of s6. Probably
And then Chat Noir getting a power upgrade. From... Nowhere? Is it implied he got it from the training? Is that what it was? Feels underwhelming
It doesn't feel like Chat Noir grew / deserved it (in this episode specifically) since the episode was not focused on him / Adrien. It truly feels like it comes out of nowhere just for the Alya and Marinette bit
Anyway I think all of these could have been entire episodes on their own and now that this it out of my brain I hope I can go back to sleep
