Written few days ago. I decide to put out my thoughts about the title above because I really found this episode to be very interesting!
I saw TimeTagger at Sunday recently, and I actually found this episode to be my favorite of the season, and we got another great superhero.
Spoilers Ahead!
TimeTagger
This episode bring us another superhero, Bunnix. Well, Alix’s watch from Timebreaker is brought up again for an important plot. Bunnix got freed from the pillar, and later, it is revealed that she is an adult version of Alix. I do like how her adult self looks and acts, and Adult Alix is mature and brilliant. Bunnix helps Ladybug and Cat Noir to defeat TimeTagger, who also came from the future that Bunnix was supposed to be on. Seeing Bunnix in action is very interesting. It was choreographed pretty well on how the battle went. Bunnix is a really cool superhero. She is pretty reckless, and while she can fight on her own in many cases, she will realize that she would need a team if things didn’t go out well. I like the fact that present Alix is really interested on her future life. In this episode, I think Bunnix is the strongest on the team. Well, knowing Alix’s tomboyish nature, she would be strong and reckless. Wow, Adult Alix has grown taller.
I had theories about Alix’s watch back in 2016, after seeing all 26 episodes and re-watching Timebreaker and the Pharaoh, I would believe her watch would be brought up again, involving with the superheroes. Her watch with a hologram was the only item that is magical, besides Kwamis and Miraculouses. Also in the Pharaoh, the museum has relations with Ladybug, knowing how old Ladybug is and how Tikki knows some things in the museum. Alix’s father and brother are historians, so it would make sense that the watch could relate with the superhero mystery later on. It turned out to be true.
Although, I would say that Bunnix is my favorite superhero of Miraculous Ladybug, it is currently. Her design is cool, and everything about Bunnix in the episode was executed well, it might be the only or one of the very few episodes of grown up version of Alix as Bunnix. It seems like Alix got her miraculous on her own, and also helps Ladybug and Cat Noir and be on their team. What I did like about future Alix/Bunnix is how she’s brilliant, strong, mature, and reckless. The future part seems long like 5-10 years, so we know a little about future Bunnix, and if present Alix becomes Bunnix, I expect it would happen near the end of the series. Or maybe after Season 3, I don’t really know as of now. We would have to see how that turns out in later seasons. I honestly didn’t expect Alix to be eventually a superhero, and I just didn’t have any theories on the season 2-3 opening photos. So far, I did enjoy future Alix Kubdel/Bunnix very much. I would like to make an MMD model of them. Gotta find some time though.
Other things interesting are seeing future Chris and how Lila gets to babysit the kids at the end. I don’t find that much of a problem, because her main talents are lies, as shown in Oni-Chan especially. She can make lies really good, and so it’s no wonder how Lila decides to babysit. I wonder how Marinette feels about this… Although, I want to wait to see how Hawkmoth and Lila work out later in the series. Also, TimeTagger seems pretty powerful.
As much as I find TimeTagger episode very interesting, it has few issues. One would be Mr. Pigeons and Hawk Moth. He got akumatized 24 times, and Hawk Moth uses the same guy 24 times. It seems like Ramier isn’t safe in Paris, and should find a good place for him to spend time with the pigeons. He got suggested by Cat Noir to find a different kind of animal to be obsessed with. Future Alix says there is Mr. Rat in the future, and it is most likely him, so there’s no stopping him from getting akumatized many times. My other minor issue is how Cat Noir is kinda weak. Not as weak, but kinda falls a bit less helpful. Him suggesting Ramier to like a different kind of animal while staying in Paris isn’t really a good advice, given his emotional issues. Also, he would be the blame to destroy Bunnix’s watch. Still, he’s still useful, just not as strong in this one. I can give those a pass.
My main curiosity since this episode is how the future superheroes and miraculouses are gonna be handled. As much as I like the story of Bunnix in this episode and understand the mysteries on the watch, I don’t want more or all of Marinette and Adrien’s classmates to become heroes, whether temporally or permanent. I didn’t want the concept of being a hero in paris, mainly Ladybug and Cat Noir, to be less special or unique. I didn’t want all of the classmates to be heroes since it would become too predictable and lowers the concept of being unique as a civilian. I get Alya and Chloe, and also Nino. I also get Alix because of the histories of the watch, but it would be better if other future heroes are outside of most of Marinette or Adrien’s friends, or even families. It would likely suit better for newer characters later on. I wanted the future superheroes to have interesting story, and even origin, just like current six of them. We will have to wait and see how this is gonna be handled. I do enjoy seeing fan transformation of existing characters, it’s just that I’m concerned of how future heroes will be introduced, and this curiosity isn’t really directly on this episode. I get that some of you have different thoughts, and I understand.
Overall, I do like this episode so far, and I give it an 8/10. It’s a really interesting episode, and Bunnix in the future is my big highlight. Mysteries of the watch and Bunnix’s future got an interesting story. Lila and Hawkmoth’s situations are really mysterious. And knowing how Ladybug and Cat Noir are still around seems interesting. I would say it’s my favorite episode of the season so far. My actual favorite would be Evillustrator.
What I think about Alix? In the first season, she rarely talks. Only few episodes with few lines. Only Timebreaker, Alix gets enough lines and presentation. She seems okay. In the second season, she appears more often and shows that she’s Marinette’s friend, and friends with most classmates, and takes art class with Nathandel. Also, Alix is more developed since the second season. I plan to review Evillustrator and Lady Wifi, two of my other favorites. I do also plan to compare Adult Alix/Adult Bunnix with another character from a certain movie. My hint is a movie that got panned since it came out a year and a half ago, and a character had barely any purpose and not executed well.
As to advertise my video, I made my own Miraculous Ladybug MMD video (w/ Pokemon) back at Fall 2018:
