Season 1 Episode 16 - Stoneheart: Origins: Pt. 2

Summary: In a continuing flashback to Ladybug and Chat Noir's origins, Marinette mistakes Adrien for a bully and hesitates to embrace her Ladybug persona.

Review: I really, really liked this episode. Sure, Marinette wanted to give up Ladybug because she thought she wasn't good enough, but an important thing to remember is that she the only one who thought she wasn't good enough. All of Paris, including Chat Noir, believed in her, so as soon as she started believing in herself, she saw that she could be a great Ladybug. I like how she was always putting others before herself in this episode. She 'fails' as Ladybug so she doesn't try to do it again. She knows Alya loves superheroes, she tries to give the earrings to her. Alya gets trapped, Pairs is in danger, so she puts the earrings back on and accepts her role. My favorite part was when she faced down the Hawkmoth 'hologram' (for lack of a better word) and showed that she can be brave, and she will protect Paris because it is her city. Can you say character growth? I also loved the umbrella scene at the end (duh) because it was just so cute. Adrien wants to make friends, so he seeks her out, apologizes, and offers her his umbrella. I don't blame Marinette for falling so fast, I would have too. Like I said in the last review, Origins really should have been the first few episodes because it tells us so much about the characters as they grow and we learn to love them. One thing that I noticed though, is that it makes the entire plot of Lady Wifi confusing. If everyone saw Ladybug save Chloé, how could she be Ladybug?

Season 1 Episode 1 - The Bubbler

Image
Summary: Adrien's best friend, Nino, is akumatized into the Bubbler, a villain who traps adults in bubbles and sends them floating away into the atmosphere. Review: As the first official episode of this miraculous show, The Bubbler gave us a good insight into the characters we start to love. We got to see true, strong friendships in Nino and Adrien, and Ladybug and Chat Noir. This episode highlighted what exactly we were getting ourselves into, with akumatizations and our new favorite superheroes. The episode answered a few of our questions, such as: Who are Ladybug and Chat Noir, and how do they defeat the villains, but left us on a cliffhanger with Hawkmoth's secret identity. Overall, it was a good first episode that makes you want to come back for more. Episode link:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7EuFeTurBCM

Season 1 Episode 14 - Princess Fragrance

Image
Summary: Marinette can't transform into Ladybug when classmate Rose is akumatized into a villain whose perfume lets her control Chat Noir and a visiting prince. Review: Once again, Chloé's responsible for an akumatized victim. Poor Rose just wanted to deliver sm ekind words, but I guess that's not in Chloé's vocabulary. Once again, we have a very effective villain, as Princess Fragrance was able to take over Chat Noir, which puts her one step closer to obtaining both miraculouses. Science finally serves a purpose to those who don't have a future career in it, by helping Ladybug defeat Princess Fragrance, although it's impossible for fire to follow gas into the air and into a gun. I get it's cartoons, but still. Episode link:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E9g_sRcRpTY

Season 1 Episode 9 - Rogercop

Image
Summary: When he's fired by the mayor, police officer Roger becomes Rogercop, a villain who thinks he's enforcing the law by ruling Paris as a dictator. Review: This was more of an... unmemorable episode. I honestly think the best part was when Chat Noir won with the power of dance, but that's pretty much it. I do also really like how Plagg got his head stuck inside Chloés bracelet, and his spiral catapult as he sneezed out of it, but other than that, it wasn't really a great episode.
