I Despise The Sentimonster Theory But I Agree With You

I despise the sentimonster theory but I agree with you 😐

I love how us clowns are assuming that if Adrien is a sentimonster he will find a way to free himself, possibly with a new power.

Like they would actually let Adrien do anything that lets him have control.

okay i just watched ephermal in the french dub and i will not give anything major away but…

i think it speaks volumes how chat wasn’t available for one pretty standard, run-of-the-mill villain fight at the beginning of the episode, and ladybug still felt the need to bring out every single one of the current miraculous holders just to make up for his absence. she relies on him so much that she called him 14 times throughout the fight and pulled out all the stops just to feel comfortable enough facing a villain without him. if that’s not reflective of how much she trusts chat noir i don’t know what is.

OOOHH

I like the way your guys' interpretations and I kind of agree with you guys!

I still think that it was mostly because he had a slight confidence/happiness boost as well as Marinette's newfound knowledge that he is Chat Noir and can't stop seeing as Chat Noir and vice versa (we know how the episode beautifully went).

But I mean also remember Adrien in Season 1, when he new to school? He didn't exactly act like he did when he was in Ephemeral, but he did have a few moments here and there of what people would assign that to be "Chat Noir".

Some are freaking out because Adrien acts like Chat in their school.

But I'm wondering, it must be how Adrien acts all the time but because most episodes are focused on Marinette's POV, we can only see what she does. In Ephemeral, she is paying extra close attention to him thus, we see him joking in the class.

Idk. I kept thinking about it.

Ephemeral be like

"i didn't like it because marinette was so uncomfortable-"

YEAH she was BLINDSIDED by the realization that she had been rejecting catboy for sunshineboi, and all along they were the same person.

but she slowly started to see who adrien and chat noir were and to fall in love all over again in a more complete way. and it was beautiful.

and more importantly, once she realized that being in love with Adrien also meant she was in love with Chat--and once she saw the both of them as the same person--she reached out and showed him who she was in return.

when she said "I'm ready now" she was saying she'd finally accepted that she was in love with Chat Noir too, and she was ready to tell him. if she was STILL UNCOMFORTABLE with that idea, I REALLY DON'T THINK SHE WOULDN'T HAVE DONE THAT.

BTW, I don't know if it's coincidence but she says the same phrase "I'm ready now" in Glaciator 2.0 when she practiced her honest confession to Adrien...with Chat Noir.

je suis prêt. i am ready.

it's very real and tangible. a rare moment when Marienette is open and honest and real about her feelings--not just spouting romantic daydreams and getting worked up over nonsense. but clearly ready to face it.

You know what would be very pretty (as in, poetic cinema) as an ending scene for ML?

Older Adrien and Marinette stepping out of the townhall after their wedding to the first drops of a rainstorm, warmly smiling at each other as Adrien opens the original umbrella in yet another recreation of the iconic scene, complete with an In the rain remix, then them walking out arm in arm towards the Seine with angles reminiscent of the Solitude movie

(except it's not solitude because they're together, finally, and as we say in French, mariage pluvieux, mariage heureux, i.e. rainy wedding, happy marriage)
