If there's no mistletoe shenanigans, I'm going to be pissed. Even a lady-chat "well i'm not interested but you've been such a good partner and it's Christmas" would be cute.
>>88265418
I could see something like that happening
I really don't know what to expect, I hear Santa apparently gets possessed by an Akuma, so I kinda hope he turns into the Krampus, although I guess that is more a German thing than French
bump for AU
>>88264761
Yeah, I'm not actually looking forward to this all that much. Mostly because of the "plot." Adrien misses his Mom, feels neglected and put off by his Father and said Father's mildly Scrooge-like behavior, so he transforms into Chat Noir and mopes under a Christmas tree in a public square somewhere in Paris. Natalie notices Adrien is missing which results in a missing person alert being issued. Then Santa Claus shows up and whatever. I mean, why is Adrien transforming so he can mope in a public square? Maybe it was a place him Mom used to take him during the holidays or something. That had better be the case, or else this plot is completely worthless.
The entire plot hinges on some nonsensical and random actions by Adrien. Santa Claus getting akumatized is a nice twist, I'll give it that. But the set up to that is just so random and contrived and just makes for terrible storytelling. Hopefully, the character interactions will make up for that. You know, like the entire show up until this point. But I can't help but feel that this is going to have a very rushed pacing even by the show's normal fast paced standards. We'll just have to wait and see I guess.

I'm not too worried but what is the run time for this does anyone know?
I wonder if Chloe is gonna find a very special present this year
>>88269920
I have this terrible sinking feeling that everyone else getting Miraculouses, especially Chloe given how much of a shit she's been, is going to end up hurting the show.
Plus, they seem to have way too many things going at once for a still relatively new property, from the cartoon to the movie to a bunch of specials and shit, feels like we might have another Wakfu situation coming on, where things just get too big and fail.
>>88268102
>I mean, why is Adrien transforming so he can mope in a public square?
Obviously so he can advance the plo ... uh, I mean so that he can meet Ladybug.
>>88270152
well as far as we know there are only 7 and Hawkmoth has 2 of them so its not like we can give too many out anyway
I hope they handle the Chloe stuff well, I think that could really make or break the next season
>>88270364
Yeah, that's my thought process honestly, Chloe can easily turn out to be enjoyable and such, or it'll be a hamfisted message about everyone getting redemption or second chances or something that generally cements the show as being as weak as some have said.
I don't even mind them bucking the status quo and whatnot, I even think Alya eventually getting the fox might be neat, but after all the bad shit she's done and when the creator himself has said that bad people don't deserve Miraculouses, it's kinda hard to see how they'll get out of that hole.
>>88270364
>well as far as we know there are only 7
I thought the creator confirmed that was only one box and there are at least a couple more boxes full held by different people?
>>88270528
I'm pretty sure he just said that to throw people off the trail because he is like maximum anti spoilers
>>88270159
Exactly, this show does that way too much. Things happen seemingly at random so we can advance the plot and get to the good part that was produced first. It's as if the writers come up with a cool or interesting idea for a scene, storyboard it and everything, and then ask how that scene is supposed to happen. They come up with an idea they think is interesting, and then the rest of the plot is like a sort of "bridge" to and from that interesting scene. In this case, the whole thing with Santa Claus.
> Alright, but how do our heroes meet Santa Claus?
" Uh, Adrien gets upset and turns into Chat Noir before running off and then Santa comes to cheer him up before Ladybug shows up looking for Adrien who everyone thinks is missing."
>That's really contrived and involves Adrien acting somewhat randomly and more erratically than he has generally been portrayed.
"Like, he snaps because his dad is Scrooge or something; look I'm on my Lunch break, what do you want from me?"
>>88264761
I can't wait til my queen bee gets her miraculous. I wonder what her catchphrase will be.
>>88271128
>I wonder what her catchphrase will be.
I'm gonna go with "Transformez-moi."
>>88271203
You kbow i meant her english one
>>88270535
No, he said that there are other ways to get superpowers in their universe. Yes, that might mean other magical artifacts unrelated or at least distinct from the Miraculous, but it could mean super science or some other source. He was really vague because I imagine he doesn't even know the specifics himself at this point. Just that the larger universe they live in is bigger than the Miraculous.
>>88270714
Yeah, that's true, but it doesn't help that Chloe has been a shit person for as far as we've known her, I really hope they don't jam a redemption or sympathy angle in our faces for S2.
>>88271924
>I really hope they don't jam a redemption or sympathy angle in our faces for S2
I don't think they have to, since they gave a sympathy angle with the anti-bug episode. I hope she's much nicer as a superhero but just as much of a bitch in school, similar to how Adrien changes from flirty to nice.
I just hope that everyone remains completely fucking ignorant of who the others are in and out of costume
>>88272825
My guess is that Ladybug and Chat are tasked with finding new miraculous-wielders. Marinette makes the obvious choice (Alya) and Adrien either decides on Chloe, or she accidentally gets it and he's forced to roll with it.
There has to be some driving force putting 4 in the same classroom. It strains suspension of disbelief otherwise.
Best girl .
>>88273226
I kind of assume that
I'm thinking it might have to do with backstory between Adrien and Chloe
I mean they were supposedly childhood friends but we don't really know much about that
like they were supposedly actually friends at one point
>>88273260
not even close
there are at least 4 girls in this show better than Lila
>>88264761
i keep hearing about this show
what is it about? how would yall rate it?
>>88273704
its pretty good for what it is
basically its super hero/magical girl show, mostly just monster of the week stuff at this point
also there is a lot of lust for Chat, although its been surprisingly calm in this thread so lets change that
What's his end game /co/?
>>88273923
bringing his wife back from the dead
obviously
>>88268102
It woobifies Adrien and makes Marinette look like an asshole, so the fandom will love it anyway
>>88270364
she needs a pacifica level redemption for this to work
>>88274778
it can be done
also both Adrien and Marinette act pretty differently in and out of costume, so maybe we will see a different side of Chloe that doesn't come through normally when she is in costume
