Me when a character is Consistent slash you can visibly see a character flaw; Nathaniel struggling slightly with his temper/impulsivity/shortsightedness AGAIN that was shown in Reverser. Remember his very...empty-headed moment where he tore Marc's journal? And him still being upset and talking to Alix later at the Lourve?
(Side note--was very surprised to see his hair apparently being natural since his parents are both redheads?? But also poor Nathaniel doesn't have his best friend to rant to anymore since she's chilling everywhere and nowhere in time.)
I bet you at timestamp 15.05 HE WOULD HAVE TRANSFORMED RIGHT THERE AND THEN IF LADYBUG HADN'T ARRIVED. HIS MOM ATTACKED MARC.
Nathaniel can be shortsighted and that was why he got caught, because he left the script out (that being said, I feel like there's a genuine chance that he would've been incriminated either way if his parents/mom are the nosy type to search his stuff) and this was highlighted again along with his impulsivity when he transformed in front of Marc on a whim BECAUSE HE WANTED TO.
And it's just. Consistent character flaw I'm enjoying seeing so far, and how consequences play out. Not just how this temper might land him in trouble during combat in the future, but also what the impulse gay identity reveal may result in. This was ONE LONG POST-CREDIT AND BY GOSH WAS THE QUEER WORTH IT
I also just love when characters fight their parents with no hesitation because they're being pieces of shit. No need to convince Nathaniel to keep his powers unlike Penalteam's theme where the last heroes to be introduced rejected their Miraculous; he showed up ready to throw hands bsfr
