THIS.

When a magic system is involved, there's a good deal of flexibility, because the magic system is how you make it. But it's also really easy to make it too OP or to lose sight of how it functions in your world for the sake of just slapping on whatever sounds good—like what happened in MLB. The magic system in MLB has centered too much on the characters, rather than how they impact the storyline.

Besides, given the power the miraculouses apparently have, handing multiple miraculouses out to so many people, sometimes even simultaneously, diminishes the weight of having a miraculous at all. They're powerful pieces of magic, so they need to have that kind of responsibility and risk.

And the "adult" rule? Bleh. Given when the miraculouses were made, the concept of "adult" varies. I'd rather 86-ing it, but if I had to keep it, I would've chosen "fully mature" rather than "being an adult".

Can you think of some better powers for the Miraculous that debuted in season 4?

The whole miracle box needs reworked because they went about it backwards. When developing lore like that, you usually want to start with the magic and then find users for it once the magic system has been worked out to something clear and logical. You should also probably try to base the magic on the culture you're designing your magic around, especially if you're not actually part of the culture in question. Just a thought.

Instead of doing any of that, the Zodic miraculouses appear to have been designed around their eventual holders, which makes for some really nonsense lore like the mess that is the Rooster.

As I discussed at length a little while ago, I would have probably replaced the colored macarons and cheese with the zodiac Miraculous to create more interesting and more limiting powerups. This is very much a personal opinion, but I prefer really strict, limited magic systems because that's when you - and your characters - have to get creative to make things work. If magic is whatever you want, then it can get boring. For example, is anyone actually excited by the idea that Adrien can now cataclysm as many things as he wants in a fight? The scene where he got the power was cute, but really think about what it means. It's no longer going to be a big deal if he hits the wrong target. He can just try again next time, no big deal.

I think the writers really missed the mark on that bit of lore. "Adults" should not have been given unlimited uses. They should have been given more uses, but still needed to recharge.

There's two sides, and they go from pie graph to venn diagram in a heartbeat

Every writer has two sides:

"I love my characters, they are my children and will protect them with my life"

"I wanna make them suffer so fucking much"

Don't forget the show having Marinette ENCOURAGE Chloe to continue being mean during Queen wasp then proceeding the complaint about how Chloe will never change

You can summarize the way the show discusses Chloe's betrayal and Marinette's treatment of her like this.

Bruh. I literally went onto Tumblr to do just that, why you gotta call me out like that?

"I should write" *looks at memes about writers procrastinating writing instead*
