I'm Curious, What Are Your Reasons For Disliking Luka's Neo-hippie, "soulful Musician" Schtick? Because

I'm curious, what are your reasons for disliking Luka's neo-hippie, "soulful musician" schtick? Because I was really annoyed with that too when he was still a new character.

any time someone brings up covid’s survival rate, I go absolutely fucking feral. It doesn’t fucking matter. What matters are the numbers. It could have a 99.9% survival rate, and if enough  people get it, that’s still hundred of thousands of people dead. Millions, dead. 99.9% out of 7 billion is a fucking enormous number. Maybe not an entire city, but MILLIONS. DEAD. FOR NO REASON. 

Something silly I started but I couldnt finish it in under 48 hours so I lost drive. I hope you enjoy anyway despite the random cut and abrupt end. Edit: song is Touching My Hand - Be More Chill Musical Demo/Cut Song

Everyone's talking about the new episode, so I just want to leap in with something that I haven't seen mentioned which I think is pretty cool and important.

This episode shows exactly why Adrien failed as Viperion and why Luka succeeds. Adrien saw the second chance as something for him to use to finally get things right. He looked at it and thought "if I try hard enough, for long enough, I won't make a mistake".

Luka knows the actual usefulness of the power, which is not using it like a save state in a video game to try to achieve perfect play. Each time he resets, the first thing he does is pass on the information he learned.

Adrien is an independent agent and a follower. He's happy to follow orders, but he's not a support character. He functions independently with Ladybug even though he knows how to work with her. Ie, Chat Noir is Ladybug's partner, not her support.

Luka is a helper. His instincts don't lean towards saving the day on his own, or drawing attention to himself, or thinking that he knows what should be done. Luka uses his role as Viperion to help Ladybug and Chat Noir do their jobs better, getting little glory and without the main heroes or Paris knowing what he experiences to help them.

Neither of these characteristics are bad. They're both really useful things to have on a team of superheroes. I just think it's really cool how well this episode demonstrated that the miraculouses actually do need to go to specific people, and not everyone can utilize every miraculous properly.

Comic on having long-COVID as a young person. Sending love to others who may be similarly suffering.
