The Collector⎮Miraculous Ladybug Season 2 Retrospective Review

PRETENDS TO BE SHOCKED

Let’s not pretend like Gabriel Agreste as Hawkmoth came as a big shock to you. Pretty certain the fandom at the time was largely sold on the idea and there were only a few deniers. But that doesn’t mean that an episode that reveals this fact has to be boring! And this one wasn’t, to my great relief. I genuinely really enjoyed it. It was fun, action packed, suspenseful and just the right amount of cringe for Miraculous. Really what more could you ask for? My thoughts on it that’s what! So here I am offering my based and flawless opinions as usual. Enjoy.

I figured out Gabe was Hawkmoth during Simon Says and Origins but my sister refused to believe me. I popped off so hard when this came out and I rubbed it in her face. The fact this man actually came up with a good plan to get the heroes off his trail is genuinely surprising considering how much of a smooth brain he is but he gets credit for this it was well played

The season where Chloe became more understandable. SIKE, says Astruc, A LITERAL CHILD IS IREDEEMABLE COMPARED TO ACTUAL GROWN FILTH.

[Kakarot-oxfh]

I remember how happy I was just to be proven right in guessing Gabriel was Hawk Moth

[irfanmajeed]

When they did the whole "oh look Gabriel is hawkmoth" I was like that's a reveal?"

[maybe]

Best-written season, and they screwed its legacy over 😵‍💫 bring back these writers…

Season 2 is my FAVORITE!! Cattastic Kitty "Adrien Agreste" Cat Noir's abilities so Miraculously! The starting paths to Adrigami and Lukanette!! The akumas were very interesting and so stylish.


















Now the Collector, seriously Gabe really thought this one out. Cattastic Kitty's emotions insane here as well. LOVE Kagami standing up to Collector thinking Adrien is in danger.

I LOVED this episode. Its probably my favorite in the entire show.

I just really like Gabriel plan in this episode. Its actualy really clever and makes him a worthy villain who seems always a step ahead of the heroes.

I've been waiting for this episode
FOR YEARS
(not really, but you get it)

I remember when this was in ComicCon and people recorded it. Man, those were the days. You just had to be there.

[helloeveryone]

Ok I’m glad they decided to get the Hawk Moth is Gabe reveal out of the way since with the voice it wasn’t that subtle, this was also probably the best time

season 2 adrien waaay better than season 5 adrien

Okay. So fun fact. I was a bit late to watching season 1 of miraculous. But thankfully since I was a bit late. All the episodes were already out. So I caught up a month back in September of 2017. A month before Season 2 began aka October 2017. And seeing Gabriel revealed to be Hawkmoth back then. The fear I felt. The anger I felt. The worry I felt. Also ladybug in this episode actually was really mature? I can’t lie. She saw Cat Noir was upset. And tried to console him. She wasn’t rude or abusive to him like in later episodes or seasons. I’m impressed. Like actually impressed. Also love how Plagg was like to Adrien. May I remind you you’re grounded? Hmm. Taking on an older brother figure role there Plagg.

Remember when people were saying hawk moth would be Alix's dad

[megawonszrzeczny]

Fun fact: in the miraculous manga Master fu gives an additional reason why he chose Adrien:
He looked similar when he was young lmaoo

[PrismOpal]

I still can’t believe people were shocked that Gabe is HM when it was so painfully obvious.

[lukacunningham]

I never expected it to be Gabriel because I didn’t expect them to actually reveal Hawk Moth’s identity, I thought it’d be that we never find out

[dangerbuffrocky]

Tbh I think every kid pieced together that Gabe was Hawkmoth since Simon Says. It was so obvious in that episode.

[Comuc]

I remember the discussions about Hawkmoth's identity in the playground

[hannahbarley]

Seeing gabe not being a smooth brain is like seeing a dog riding a unicycle it just feels unatural 😂
