I Hate That I Can Vividly Imagine All Of This....

I hate that I can vividly imagine all of this....

and now that season 5 is finished…

What are the bad writing decisions, you can predict for season 6 ?

just for laughs

Off the top of my head, I'd say

Marinette won't feel guilty about hiding the truth from Adrien at all.

Adrien will learn the truth about his father from Lila, but he won't hold Marinette accountable because he thinks that he was still a good person or because Marinette "Did it out of love".

Lila will create some new kind of Akuma that's supposedly meant to be more powerful, yet more often than not, it's just used on the same targets (Mr. Pigeon, Gigantitan, Glaciator, etc.).

A good chunk of Ladybug's team (seriously, it's been five seasons and we don't have an official name for this?) will be busy overseas for very mundane reasons and can't be bothered to come back and help Ladybug until the finale.

Either that, or Lila manages to recruit some of the temp heroes to her side so we can have another Battle of the Miraculous.

We'll get a new disabled character or a character who's a person of color, and while Astruc will boast about how inclusive this makes his show, they'll only appear for an episode or two at most.

This is me when my mom tells me I have to go out with her, but I was already drained from the week before

Felix: messed with his cousin's friends and got them akumatized, tried to kiss Ladybug, stole the dog miraculous, bargained with his uncle for the peacock miraculous and practically doomed paris, kidnapped Kagami to London

Thomas Astruc: but he was abused! And he did good in the end [in a speedrun] so it's okay!

So I just remember the time ta called Chloe fans abuse apologist and wow he is a massive hypocrite given how he you know excuses an emotionally (and abusive given Chat blanc) father

(The post this anon is referring to)

Considering how the show doesn't want to even point out that Gabriel might be kind of a dick, I doubt any of the writers even consider him to be an abusive father.

i can’t believe this is real

You know, what's up with parents and mental health?

When their kid tells them about their mental isssues, they get defensive. Like, I'm not saying you failed as a parent, that's why I came up to you in the first place: I need you to help me.

This is why I prefer an au narrative of "Oh, Gabriel was manipulated by grief and someone else into doing so much evil". At least it means there's an overarching villain we're not aware of, someone you can face in Season 6. TA should've just let this dumpster fire end at Season 5, but guess he needs it to burn a little bit longer.

I can see TA tries to make LIla/Ceries/WhateverThisBitchName as "briliant, mysterious" psychopathic mastermind to excuse marinette irrational hatred not merely because she try to steal "her precious" Adrien by turn her into PG-13 version of Leena Klammer.

If they keep this shit, I will not surprise if they make Lila is a "grow-up paed00 midget woman who hunt a handsome boy" to excuse why they will not give a redemption for Lila, and make her a "brilliant master manipulator" and dangerous than gabriel

It feels like the writers had no idea who to make the next villain, eventually settled on Lila, but realized they needed to find a way to make her more interesting and mysterious in order to draw intrigue for next season. It's just that they chose to do something completely absurd and hoped audiences would buy it.

Outside of the whole "fake identities" thing, we know nothing about Lila as a person, why she hates Marinette and Ladybug for such petty reasons, what she even wants to do besides mooch off famous people, or who she really is. The writers just hope the idea of a mystery will be enough to sell Lila as the next main villain.

For a show heavily influenced by Spider-Man, they basically turned Lila into their own Judas Traveller, a character designed to be mysterious and compelling with no actual plan for what his backstory was.
