So, I heard Chloe was trying to make a movie about her time as Queen Bee and sadness aside it has me imagining how that could be pretty fascinating in the hands of the right writer.
Cause like... Hear me out. Let's say she still wants to do the project and gets a deal with Netflix or whatever but they want it to be like a mini series, three or four one hour specials, it's not ideal but she'll take it. Audrey and Noe are semi checked out cause they think Netflix is lower tier and have Kingdom stuff to do and so mostly just poke in to make sure she's not fucking up too badly.
Moving on to Chloe herself, as previously noted Miraculous's story from her perspective is low key horrifying in terms of how often she was targeted for death, had things ripped away from her, was actively manipulated or generally just jerked around by people with way more power than her with zero context. & the thing is, even if she's not conciously aware of how fucked up some/all of that is, I could see her trying to recreate it for authenticity.
IE, her screwed up dynamic with Andre, her "Reconciliation" with Audrey, all that stuff but obviously to an outsider its like, "Hey that's fucked actually." Which has me imagining the Miracle Class reading a review of the Special from a critic who has consistently disdained Chloe's work expecting a good laugh and getting... Weird feelings.
Not necessarily huge self awareness, resolving all 'that' baggage is way more than can be done easily, but maybe a degree of 'Oh I may need to muse on this a bit' from it, thus review:
"I've made no secret of my disdain for Chloe Bourgeois's quick click film making style, too much flare, trying to compensate for a novice with too much to say and not the vocabulary to say it was a rejoinder I have stood by... Until now."
"I won't say her film making style has radically evolved, the production is still more garrish than suits my taste but beneath that flash is a surprisingly honest and achingly sincere story about a very troubled teen's struggle to find herself."
"Only for everything for the frankly warped way she was brought up, to woeful role models and failing adults and idols to send her careening off her unsteady rise to heroism and into self destruction at the hands of a villainous mastermind."
"In truth, I am unsure even Miss Bourgeois herself is wholly aware of how much of a tell all film this is, I spoke with the actor for one Andre Bourgeois who had this to say:"
"I actually asked us to stop filming several times to try and stress to Chloe that this was not normal and questioning if this dynamic with Andre was something she was exaggerating for drama."
"She shrugged me off saying it was not only accurate but if anything watered down and having seen some of her other relationships on and off set I've no reason to doubt her.
"Chloe's a lot of things, blunt foremost amongst them, but she's not a liar. I do wonder if she realizes just how much this film is saying about her childhood, heroes and especially her family."
"There you have it, I will be going into greater detail below the cut, but just know that for all my disagreements with Chloe Bourgeois from everything to fashion, to personality, I think this project demonstrates that there is much more to her than just the caricature of a rich girl she plays for the public and I hope we get to see more of this side of her, the real side of her, going forward."
Oh that could be fascinating actually!
