or like, idk what's your favorite episode. cause i guess that would be a more normal thing to ask.
hmmmm.....kind of difficult to choose depending on the criteria for favorite or can shift depending on which season your into 🤔.
Like some can be just be a fun entertaining stand alone episide.....which others can be amazing with how it fits into the narrative over all and how it made me feel or think.
Chat blanc was probably a favorite for the drama for a while but it does have mari sniffing his pillow so that's not really a favorite over all anymore.
I really liked the newyork special and think it's important to the show and characterization but I don't like rewatching it.
I really liked the episode where chloe apologized about the bag but that's more about the arc and them messing up her progress later made me feel bummed watching it.
Hmmmmm......I think it's a tie between the episide felix was introduced and the Scarabella episode.
The one with feljx is entertaining cuz felix is being a jerk but is kind of relishing in it. Even with added or changed context from later episodes I just love disliking him in the episode. I liked how we both got to see a bunch of sweet messages from Adrien's friends(especially chloe) even if Adrien didn't get to see them. The surprise vibe of seeing Gabe uncomfortable around his wife's sister...like gabe is new money and his wife is old money.
Gabe and Nathalie are weirdly more likable in the episode because they didn't doubt adrien's character for a second....and it makes me worry seeing how weak Adrien's bond to the class is when who they thought was Adrien lashed out. Yeah, it WASN'T adrien....but it made me understand why felix might judge them....but more it made me appreciate Adrien more.
Plagg assumed Adrien was unaware felix was bring a jerk and felix thought adrien was too goody goody and thoight he was fooling adrien...but adrien showed he was FULLY aware that feljx was bejng a jerk and chose to be understanding abd protect feljx anyways. Adrien pretending to be felix was hilarious and clever to try to lure them away and it showed a interesting maturity his other friends didn't have....cuz when feljx was lashing out at adrien...Adrien didn't take it personally and knows it was coming from feljx being hurt and how hurt people might not knowing a better way to vent the emotions. Adrien wasn't a push over. He did his best to put his foot down when feljx messes with his friends, and he did have some fun with felix getting some karma in the battle...but adrien also still offered if feljx needed to talk then feljx knows his number and even if felix did lie during his apology....adrien still stood firm that felix had to give a GOOD apology. Plus seeing three akuma is still iconic even with the questionable wording. Plus felix gets punched in the face...they mkght be trying to get me to like him more now but he gave our mari a panic attack...so the punch is more cathartic now.
SCARABELLA episode is tied with it because Alya had a great costume.
The villian and plan was actually clever and almost worked and we saw Mari make some mistakes by not telling chat ahead of time or giving Alya time to prepare which can echo issues later in the show. It's also fun to see Adrien/chat express his frusteration outloud even if they did him dirty by him losing to Alya...I love seeing alya/scarabella and chat interact and we got to see him show the most amazing support and why he is the best partner once his frusteration was put aside.
Though I think that one ranks so high with me is because it feels like a twist. Because the episodes are released out of order we all marinated in the knowledge that mari told her identity to alya and that chat was not aware of this. We all assumed he'd feel mad or betrayed because she broke the rules and didn't even tell him...even more considering her not giving him a heads up wasn't a great idea when sentimonsters get used. So chat found out she told someone her identity in one of the worst ways. And we were all on edge because since the episodes were out of order we got to see adrien find out at other times things ge was out of the loop on....so we are assumed he'd be angry.
Yet the shock I got when it turned out Adrien trusted lsdybug's judgment where he doesn't guilt her or make her feel bad about giving her miraculous to someone or telling her identity to someone. That he trusts her and wasn't feeling entitled to her identity when so many people though he'd be angry or take it personally...it made him feel more mature to me. And it was a interesting contrast because we know msri said if she was in his place she woukd gave been mad.
This is the same guy who had a really bad break up due to not being honest with kagami and yet he didn't think about how itcwould gave been nice if he could tell someone. He trusts her completely or at least supports her and while he was huffyvabd took out sone if his frusteratikn out on scarsbella....he doesn't take that out on ladybug. Is vulnerable about how what upset him was she didn't give him a heads up she was getting a temporary replacement....he didn't care she told someone else her identity at all....which blew up alot of people's arguments about chat being entitled or jealous to me. And it made Rockatear even more interesting in hindsite because that means he was vulnerable and LB was STILL leaving him out of things or exceptions she made. And it explained why Alya made that positive Chast noir video. And nino was a sweet trusting boyfriend in it.
Love that twist feeling.
Though another contender could be Sandboy. Love seeing the contrast of plagg and tikki's dynamic with their holders....seeing more of fu and why plagg might have issues with guardians....plus mari's fear was HILARIOUS with marry chloe adrien zombie and Adrien thinking plagg got turned into a sock was the best joke.
Still makes me giggle...and it was sweet seeing Adrien be so understanding of plagg despite plagg leaving Adrien with no warning yo face his worst fear by himself...plagg was understandably expecting hurt or anger....just to face Adrien's understanding and validating plagg's feelings...even reassuring plagg Adrien won't hold him back and just wants a heads up so Adrien can help.
It makes me think thats when plagg really starts to bond more with adrien...and it gave us a bit mire insight through the contrast with tikki and mari's dynsmic. Plus gabe sensing the Kwami and guardian with the plan backfiring was great.
