Was just discussing this with @lonleyzodiac
Am I the only person who, upon hearing that in the season 4 finale Hawkmoth stole all the miraculous, thought that he was gonna assemble a team of villains to give the miraculous to with additional akumas to either assist them or boost their powers in battle, or maybe tge vilkain holders assist the Akumas quietly, and then over the course of the next season or two, the miraculous are slowly retrieved one by one?
Evolution probably stays the same mostly, cus the rabbit needs confiscating immediately, But instead of the alliance rings afterwards, he gathers a team of villains to give miraculous to, ones he knows wont betray him, meaning Ladybug and Chat Noir may sometimes have to fight miraculous holders who can then, by the battles end, either have their miraculous confiscated or get away without loosing them while they focus on an akuma.
That's what I honestly thought would be the plot of season 5 when season 4 had just wrapped up, recollecting miraculous slowly but surely.
He obviously wouldn't give all the miraculous out, powerful ones such as the Rooster or useful ones for retrieving miraculous like tge dog and horse would likely stay with him, just in case.
