SyrenNot gonna lie, I was kinda worried about this episode with the amount of water effects it seemed it would have (liquids are so hard to make look good with CG on a budget x3), but I think it fared pretty well! All the swimming movements from the characters were nice and fluid, and when there was water splashing or spilling, it looked just fine! :3
The new outfits are also neat, not in the least because yay more plot progress! Ladybug's scales are also very nice :3
Ah, I was wondering if Chat would eventually start to feel left out! When Rena Rouge first appeared, I was honestly kinda surprised with how well he took it, since for all he knew LB had this hero friend that she knows well and never told him about before. If it were me, I would've been "The heck?? There some hero convention that I miss out on or something?"
Especially since LB actually knows Rena's identity, makes sense that Chat would be jealous since identity's been the biggest point of tension between him and LB.
But I'm glad Adrien has finally met Master Fu, I've been feeling bad for him x3
And Ondine was cute! As her time as a villain, she wasn't the most threatening, but that tends to be the case when the villain's motivations aren't directly tied in with Ladybug and Chat Noir. Best example I can think of is Evillustrator (discluding Gigantitan, which I'm sure Hawk Moth has called a mulligan on by now xD), who was basically a slightly angrier Nathaniel who just wanted a nice evening with Marinette. He didn't even consider the two heroes until they got in his way xD Hawk Moth should keep making the likes of Puppeteer and Dark Owl, they're the ones that really get the job done (almost)!
It's also nice that Kim can hang out with a girl that actually does like him, and that he can relate to. Hopefully we get to see more of Ondine and her antics with him, and Kim doesn't have to keep getting his heart broken by Chloe x3 FrightningaleAll the rhyming, oh man xD And the fact that Hawk Moth was rhyming the whole time too, I can't xD
I also love Chat and LB subtly jiving while trying to figure out a plan.
Not much really to say on this one, but it was a fun episode really. Also interesting to see the two in costume but without their masks x3

Troublemaker Okay, when I first saw the trailer for this episode and saw that they were going to reveal Mari's crush/roomful of Adrien photos to EVERYONE on LIVE TELEVISION, I was completely HORRIFIED and embarrassed and indignant for her...Oh, gosh. Buuuut that didn't mean I wasn't excited to see this episode! Because while it's an awful situation for Marinette, it makes for some comedy gold for us viewers, lol. xD (Plus, I had seen a screenie of the last scene on reddit, with the title talking about Adrien's flirting game, hahaha.) I just couldn't stop laughing at the whole sequence of Adrien/Chat's reactions, starting with Adrien's wide-eyed look of shock while an amused Plagg comments, "Looky there, another secret admirer~" And then when Chat arrives, he makes sure to see for himself exactly how many pictures of him are in Mari's room, HAHA. He keeps seeing more and more photos everywhere, and Ladybug is hilariously trying to cover them up. xD This was just a very entertaining sequence to watch. But wow, Troublemaker came *very* close! I mean, she actually managed to remove one of Marinette's earrings?? And she was starting to transform?  (This also would have been a particularly bad time to reveal her identity, given her recent mortifying revelation of her crush.) I really liked her power too - invisibility and phasing through solid objects? She used her powers very competently too! So I enjoyed her as a villain. Annnndddd...That Adrinette moment. "Are you lying~?" xD *fans herself and giggles uncontrollably* Adrien, please flirt more, lol. Anyway, while I think the whole interaction was super cute (I hope we get to see when she goes to his photo shoot!), he now thinks she's simply a fan of his work? LIKE REALLY??? Considering his flirty line before, I'm just wondering if he said that to allow Marinette to save face, and he actually does know that she has a total crush on him? Or does he really think she's just another devoted fan (which is...just another facet of the "We're just friends!" mindset he just can't seem to rid himself of)? 'Cause boi, that just screams CRUSH! to pretty much everyone else - even Jagged Stone could see it! And he said that while Adrien was watching it all unfold too! I really thought (hoped) he'd get it. But...clearly that kind of progress is too soon, lol. Comics are going to have a field day with this one, lol. But still, Adrien is super nice about this whole thing, and...swoon. Yep, he's the kind of guy I'd have a crush on too, so I don't blame you one bit, Mari.  Though now I'm a little interested in some MariChat moments after this...Oh, wait, nope, he's under the impression that she's just a fangirl of his work, so nothing changes there. So! This was a really good episode in my book - nice love square moments, comedy, and a competent/interesting villain. ^^ |

Troublemaker ME, TOO, charming thievery, ME TOOOOOO For once I was pleasantly surprised to see something develop in the love polygon. Well, sort of in the worst way possible--can't imagine how Marinette would feel after having her secret be blurted out on live Parisian television. We didn't get to see how the school reacted, and I imagine Chloe's going to be even more bitter now, but if I were being 100% honest, I'm pretty sure eeeeeveryone (aside from Adrien) already knew. Marinette is the least subtle person in Paris regarding her crush, LOL! Props to Adrien for reacting appropriately. I also saw a little bit of Chat when he was all, "Are you lyingggg?  " Does this mean the love polygon will move faster now and we'll finally see more proper Adrienette? I really hope so.  |

New Ladybug episode is out! Holy Kau, I can't believe it, lol! Reverser: Preliminary thoughts a few minutes into the episode: Yay! I'm excited that Nathanael has a more prominent role this episode! Also. I am really digging Alex. Her personality, her art, her style, her banter with Nathanael...I think I kind of ship them together now, haha. And can I just say that I want to be a part of the Room 33 club? It seems really awesome! All these creative people working on their craft in a place that completely encourages and nurtures it is so appealing! And I'm sure all of us here totally get that. ^^ This episode also has excellent timing with its focus on a writer character. It comes at the moment that I decided to try to start up my writing ventures again...or so I say anyway. We'll see how that goes, lol. But this isn't about me, ha. -deleted- Edit: Sorry, I expressed a problematic/insensitive and ignorant sentiment, which I feel bad about.  Edit x2: Finally just deleted what I'd said since I didn't want to have to see it anymore. I'll write more when I finish watching! More thoughts: WHAT THE HECK NATHANAEL!! How could you?? Chloe (and your teacher...) did a similar thing to your art - you of all people should know how that feels! How could you?? Being disappointed (especially after jumping to conclusions when it was no guarantee to be Ladybug) is NO excuse to destroy someone's work like that. UGH. I'm so disappointed in him.  Random thing I just realized the whole pun thing kind of runs in the family, lol. Chat with his punny jokes and Hawkmoth with his cheesy wordplay whenever he akumatizes a person ("Picture perfect no more!"). Final thoughts: So I'm glad to see Nathanael showed some remorse about what he'd done - but did he actually apologize to Marc? And they didn't actually clear things up (i.e. talk to each other about the issue), so I don't get why it's suddenly obvious that there was a misunderstanding. :/ I was pleased to also see that Nathanael and Alex are friends and that Alex played a bigger role in this episode. Also...Klutzy Ladybug and cowardly Chat Noir were great! Haha. It's kind of funny how Reverser made her a klutz...especially since that's how she is as Marinette, lol. (Well, not to that degree.) One more thing - is it just me, or does Adrien seem like he's teasing Marinette a bit more these days? I don't know if it's just his voice...xD But I like to imagine that he was slightly jealous seeing Marinette and Marc together and spying on another guy too. Buuuut, that's probably all in my head. ^^; So, all in all, this episode was okay. I still like the characters who featured in it, and I loved the emphasis on collabing on a comic together! I hope they make more (and one day I'd like to read it too! See, that could be cool merch, lol); I always love seeing Nate's drawings. (Oh! And they call him Nate. ) |

I'd been saving these episodes until I had more to watch back-to-back, since they're so sporadic at the moment. So!! TroublemakerIt's that time again, when all it takes to be a rocker in cartoon world is yelling the words "Rock N' Roll" like some magic incantation! I love the family resemblance when Marinette's dad appears on TV and displays exactly the same awkwardness as Marinette. Yay for Marinette's parents taking a stand for her privacy! ;w; Small detail, but did you notice the logo and the colour theme of the TV show's opening? Neat. I like the background details of the bakery as well. Not super detailed, but enough to seem believable to me. Looks very french-bakery-ish. Points to Penny and Jagged for being some of my favourite secondary characters. They're both sweet, and Jagged is like a big kid, but he's such a good sport about everything that happens in the bakery! His French VA still sounds great, with an English accent that's still easy to understand for French viewers. The bathroom is upstairs! *climbs up 4 floors* Just... how big is Marinette's place? Looks like her parents own the entire building over the bakery. In Paris, that's... rich. Ah, cartoon economics. I love Marinette's deadpan-blank-stare after Tikki reminds her that it's too late because the show is live. x3 I'm impressed that the writers can still come up with different powers for villains that prompt totally new fighting strategies from LadyChat. The fight sequences were very smooth, punctuated by that clicky pen. The sound really helped to keep up with Troublemaker's physical state. Oh, Chat Noir's cat ears do work! I'd forgotten. x3 Agreed, Zoey , all the people in Marinette's school probably already knew, I'm sure they won't treat it like a big deal at all, just old news. xD *sees Marinette sneak into empty locker room* Adrien will be hidden behind a locker door. Adrien: *pops out from behind Marinette's locker door* What'd I tell you.And now, for the Adrinette Thoughts! First thing: Adrien was watching the show just because it was at Marinette's place?? That's already big! And Adrien smiles wider as soon as Marinette goes on-screen at Jagged's request!
Despite the cartoon-obliviousness, I think Adrien has finally clued in. I mean. It's too big to ignore at this point.
What I find interesting is that Adrien knows that Marinette is enough of a fan to keep photos of him, but she's never been an obnoxious, invasive fan. (Though there were narrow misses.) She's been a helpful friend to him, not trying to pressure him into a romantic relationship even though she has a big ol' crush.
It shows that she truly cares about him. From Adrien's point of view, I'd find that quite touching, and at least cherish her even more as a friend - if he's too focused on Ladybug for anything else. Time for ReverserOK, this... *takes deep breath* THIS IS SO EMO, dear Woo! The kid has the hood and the makeup and the accessories and all. For the first moments he appeared, I wondered if he was someone's OC! Maybe the writers' tribute to fanfiction writers, in a way? charming thievery there's no such thing as too feminine, people can express their identity any way they like, everyone has eyelashes, and makeup is for all genders. I'm glad they included a sensitive male-identified character with this sort of style. The art club is very cute. Good to see Alyx again! And she ended up helping a lot. I find it strange that we didn't see Alya at all, though? She's usually the Classmate who Helps the Heroes. No time to call on Rena Rouge, I guess? What the heck Nathanael, indeed?! Tearing up an innocent notebook? Dramatic much? I didn't even know he still had that much of a crush on Ladybug. See, Marinette never acted that bad over her crush on Adrien! *pauses episode 9:30 minutes in* Oh, a villain who turns people into opposite versions of themselves? Lemme guess - Chat Noir will get affected by his power and Ladybug will have to cope. Oh? Oooh! Nope, Ladybug got affected instead! Woo! Oh wait no, both of them! Should be fun. xD I was kinda hoping that they'd bring in another of the magic rainbow kwami foods and call in another special power to counteract Reverser's thing, but this was clearly a filler episode rather than a plot episode. This whole thing was quite hilarious and I will forever remember how they saved the day by strapping a terrified Chat Noir to a kite and flying him chaotically into the villain's giant paper airplane. |

Viewing order of 3 future episodes: I don't think these episodes have been released yet? (Edit: Oh, a trailer was released for one of them.) But if the creator had to specifically state the order we should view them in, that implies that the tv networks are probably planning to air them out of order. So just a heads-up (a belated one, but it's still advanced warning). I believe the latest episode released is Anansi, right? I think I'll wait on it until other episodes pile up. Not really feeling all that hyped about this show anymore anyways. |

Oh whoops, I kinda fell out of catching up on new episodes x3; The next one for me is Reverser I believe, although first time I tried to watch it, I got very confused within the first few minutes. Like, they were referencing Queen Bee, and the characters were all treating Marc like we had met him before, so is this episode out of order or something? Or might I be thinking too hard about it? x3

Soooo apparently season 2 ended and season 3 started and HOW DID I MISS ALL OF THIS??? Maybe because the episodes were released with so little regularity that it became too easy to just forget about the show. =o Thanks for reminding me though, I'd been meaning to comment about the end of Season 2 for ages! 19 - Sandboy man me a sandThe one with the kwamis being obnoxiously cute.
Arurugh that song. Having a mini-world inside the music box is neat, but don't they get bored in there?
I do appreciate their solidarity for each other, though. Like, they know it's dangerous to sneak in to contact Nooroo, they know it's EVEN more dangerous to get Wayzz to come inside the box as well, but they want to be together just that badly!
Hello there, polite and well-spoken Bee Kwami who I'm sure won't be important at all later on.
OK, forget about threatening to destroy the city, Papimoth is at his most terrifying when he abuses his kwami. *whimper*
Nooroo's voice sounds more adult in French, which... kind of made it scarier in a way.
Marinette's zombie-Adrien-nightmare is hilarious, but Adrien's claustrophobic nightmare is legit scary and sad for him.
Master Fu's nightmare could have been scary if not... sheet ghosts. Poor guy, though. =C
Plagg all by himself shaking off the Sandboy in the subway was real cool. Lil kitty isn't afraid of anything!
Oh!! Just when I thought the actual Sandboy wouldn't be memorable at all, he neutralised Ladybug's Lucky Charm! Is that the second villain who's managed it after Robostus?
Hats off to Chat Noir for catching Ladybug... right in front of Notre Dame for a backdrop, seriously =P
I can't even be mad that they damsel'd Ladybug because Nightmare!Ladybug is terrifying.
Aaww, forget about Adrinette, their relationships with their respective kwamis are too cute.
Oh deeeaar, oh no, Papimoth has a sliiightly clearer idea of where the kwamis are! The Yuri on Ice episode 21 - FrozerThe episode starts with a fakeout Adrien-identity reveal and while the fakeout was obvious, it hecking annoyed me. Ten points from this episode. =P
Finally, Kagami and Luka are back as fakeout-love rivals! Good to know they still exist.
Kagami is as practical and no-nonsense as ever, though I much prefer her French VA, whose strict, serious tone sounds more fitting for the character.
As annoyingly smooth as Luka is, I... have to admit that they made him successfully smooth. He's actually really sweet to Marinette. And when she's trying to show Adrien how to cutely catch Kagami if she trips, and Luka catches her right on cue. Dangit. Stahp. I want to be Luka. ;_;
Oh OH so exciting ok - you know when Adrien walks into school, wondering whom to ask for love advice, he glances at Mylène and Ivan, established dating couple, then at Alya and Nino, other established dating couple, and get this, he then glances at JULEKA AND ROSE who are listening to music cutely together! Oh Woo that's almost canonically implicitly confirming that they're dating (except the producers would probably chicken out of going any further, but) SHIP SHIP SHIP SHIP SHIP!!!
The actual real life Philippe Candeloro voices the ice skater Philippe, and he makes the character so adorable!!
"Just look around you!" - *dramatic twirl!*
Pff, the Mayor would have never come to the rink himself for this... and don't try to make me believe that the 10 minutes really lasted 10 minutes.
OK the ice skating animation is fun and all but Luka lifting Marinette above his head is a biiiit much.
Heroes transform into ice skating mode and... I love it?? The frost texture on Ladybug's suit is so neat! It only adds a few details and the transformation is still short, and the spins and poses are so neat!
The love rivals actually handle the love quadrangle more maturely than the main 'ship do. xD
The ending confession fakeout ACTUALLY got me for the first second and I'm even more annoyed! Gah, I'd never mentioned 18 - Anansi, had I? It's been too long, I've forgotten the details! Basically, Protective Pro Wrestler Big Sister is the best and I want one?? Even though she's over protective at first.
This is pretty much the overly protective big brother trope, except it would have been super annoying with a brother, and I found it kinda refreshing with an older sister!
Loved Anansi's design,
AlyaxNino ship FINALLY getting some spotlight,
and Carapace is such a cool dude, like a modern Teenage Superhero Ninja Turtle.
Love his transformation sequence. Don't want to put too much into one post, will post about the Queens' trilogy of episodes next. (Hope I won't have to double-post ;u; ) I'll just say that I liked the Queens' trilogy much better than the season finale two-parter. |

*pokes head in* Sooo I was hoping not to post too many episodes at a time, but now I'll just get rid of the end of Season 2 so as not to have to triple post later. ='D (Side note, I'm not trying to number the episodes anymore, because the Wikipedia list is the closest to being correct, but counts the Xmas special as episode 1 of season 2, which I do not consider to be correct and shifts everything.) Style QueenI'll just start by saying this episode was a doozy for me, okay, on the same level as Robostus and Dark Owl! Chloe's mother finally arrives, is revealed to be an exaggerated cartoon Anna Wintour, and that explains, so, so much. (Remember we saw a little flashback-doodle of her in Despair Bear?)
I love the way Chloe copies all of Audrey's little poses and gestures.
Adrien wears a different outfit from his usual, whaaat? The way he walks on the catwalk really looks different from usual, and quite fitting, I dig.
Nathalie handling Audrey Bourgeois so coolly is amazing. (That's the way Nathalie's always been, nothing new, it's just cooller when she gets more than a one-liner. >_>)
Aha! We finally see Gabriel's secret! His wedding-style bouquet matches his outfit - and a good thing too, he is supposed to be a designer.
I have made a terrible mistake in my speculations! D: Emilie Agreste is not in a glowing green sciencey tube, but in a Snow White-style glass coffin! oTL
So Papimoth was waiting to Akumatize Audrey Bourgeois as his best plot because she's such an evil human that her villain form would be powerful.
Well.
He was not kidding.
Style Queen is legit terrifying! She moves and flies and teleports and shoots her glitter beams so fast! Like dang, when she's zipping around the Agreste house!
I have to give credit to Chloe for keeping her cool and knowing exactly how to flatter her mum at the right moment.
Oh my goodness, PLAGG. "The Leaning Tower of Piza?" - "It was in my way!"
That. Cataclysm. That was awesome. And just a tiny fraction of Plagg's power. Tikki will need to do a lot of catching up because Plagg totally stole the kwami spotlight.
OH. So the Bee Miraculous was meant for Alya and got to Chloe by total accident. OK, I like that much better than having Marinette willingly giving Chloe a chance with a Miraculous! Queen WaspGabriel was in his secret underground hideout / shrine to his wife, then went all the way to the fashion show place, and got there in time to catch Adrien on the catwalk? How long was Adrien walking back and forth in the same outfit? Was that the only part of the show? Adrien running laps?
Supreme jerk Audrey deciding to favour Marinette of all people is the perfect plot twist to make Chloe snap, but it's just a little bit hard to believe for me, since she is THE fashion critic... then again, Gabriel did spot Marinette's talent too, and even her signature inside the hat looks impressively good.
Hm, I wonder how long we'll need to wait before seeing Chloe transform - oh, she's just doing it right now, in full view? Typical Chloe!
Queen Bee's transformation is... gorgeous?! I don't know if it's the music that does it for me, I love the stinger theme with her ponytail and the little tap she gives with her pointy shoe! And the antennae are so cute.
BREAKING NEWS, Miraculous-heroes can, in fact, be Akumatised! Oh snap. And that couldn't happen earlier because their Emoshunz weren't dark enough, I suppose? Well that explains the title of the episode, and the fact that Chloe got Akumatised again even though she's already got her turn.
Uuugh, way to uphold the "bees are good, wasps are evil" cliche. But it does make sense that Queen Bee can only sting once before de-transforming, while Queen Wasp can sting multiple times.
Something I found quite illogical in Queen Wasp's attacks: part of what makes wasps and other bugs dangerous is the way they can swarm you from every direction. The way Queen Wasp's wasps gathered into dart formations to chase LadyChat made them less effective than a real bug swarm, if you think about it! (But then the fight scenes would have been too chaotic, I guess.)
Chloe and her mum bonding by discovering that they're both awful in the same way is one of the most weirdly sweet endings I've seen. MalediktorChloe with her mum's support is even worse than Chloe with her dad's support! Amazing.
I do not like this villain. The fears he brings are Adult Fears and it is quite uncomfortable. >_>
He is similar to Simon Says, but I guess on a final boss-like level.
Ashgfdhg Chloe being honest with Ladybug is still the best ;u; She finally opens up for real, and Marinette figures out that she just needs to be accepted. I like this maybe-conclusion to her arc.
Although, after the ending of Queen Wasp, you'd think Marinette would have been nicer to Chloe at the start of this episode. I guess it's more difficult to get along as classmates than as supers.
Chloe getting the Miraculous with full trust and responsibility feels so good, after her first attempt.
Her stinging spinning top weapon is weirdly similar to Ladybug's yo-yo, but they work quite well together.
AHAHA - I can't get over this, Ladybug chucked the weapon aside and kept the laser pointer - and the villain was defeated by a hypnotised Chat Noir chasing a laser pointer - *wheezing* Catalyst (season finale, part 1)Just two episodes ago, Ladybug was teaching Chloe how it's heroic to owe up to one's mistakes and fix them. I... think it was a "do as I say, not as I do" thing, because Marinette still needs to do some work on that lesson, herself. xD
Gotta love Marinette's parents. Her dad would totally have baked up everything on her list if he didn't have another project. xD
At last, Lila returns! It's been 84 years. Even though it was easy to forget her existence in between, I am glad they did make her return.
Wow, is this the first time an Akumatised target has been de-Akumatised by Papimoth himself?
We've known what Nathalie's Akumatised form would look like for a long time. I didn't know she'd have that much power or impact, though. Amplifying Papimoth's power this much almost seems like cheating!
But she wasn't feeling negative emotions when he Akumatised her? How does that work?
Maybe the Butterfly Miraculous doesn't really need to feed off negative emotions, but Agreste can't make it work as it should.
Nino and Alya are adorable as civilians and as a Battle Couple - why did we never see them act this cute earlier when they've been dating for the whole season? I'm mad! And I missed Alya's transformation. Mayura (season finale, part 2)The previous episode ended quite slowly, getting all the transformations for each side out of the way, and we finally have the ultimate big battle!
I think there's just too much going on, too many villains-of-the-week to remember. Each one had unique strengths and powers and that was cool in their respective episodes, but all together? Their individual gimmicks - Frightningale's rhyme-or-freeze, Princess Fragrance's perfume - feel wasted. Only Dark Cupid's power really makes a difference.
This is the kind of fight scene that would have worked better with random mooks, imo.
It's weird to see the heroes catch the Akumas so much faster than in earlier episodes, but I guess that's justified by their experience.
We do see some pretty great action from each hero using their weapons!
Plagg actually shared his cheese with Adrien! Coming from Plagg, that means so much! ;u;
Once again LadyChat are super respectful of each other's secret identities and I love it.
Alright, let's get to the big deal: Nathalie is the hinted Peacock Miraculous user. I am not pleased. Yes, she is creepy in these two episodes, creepier than Papimoth himself with how devoted she is to his plan - which she talks about like it's her own. Yes, Nathalie developing feelings for Agreste, who is glued to his wife's shrine, is tragic.
But dangit, she just hasn't had enough screen time for me to care about her! We had to wait until the Queens' trilogy for her to get a few more lines.
Her using the Miraculous is great as a plot point, it just has zero emotional impact for me. :c
I absolutely love her concept and costume, though, way to cater to my taste for elegant evil ladies.
In case y'all missed it, the big moth disappeared when Mayura snapped her fingers, not because of anything Ladybug did.
Season 2 ends on Adrien encouraging Marinette as a friend and I like that very much. Speculation for Season 3: Mayura and Papimoth could make a nice villain combo, using a Villain of the Week and a Monster of the Week at the same time! Except that the Peacock Miraculous gives Nathalie the Coughing Illness of Doom, so I guess she won't use it until like, 20 episodes into the season. :'D
There are actually more than seven Miraculouses in that box, and since we've seen the rest of the kwami, I'm pretty sure they're going to have a Chinese Zodiac theme.
People who still need to be Akumatised: Marinette's parents, Luka!, Wayhem the Adrien fanboy, Alec the TV host Hot take: why it's actually a good thing that the main 'ship are so oblivious Let's be real, if Marinette actually asked Adrien out and he said yes and they tried to date, it'd be a disaster, at this point. Marinette would probably be panicked at the idea of ruining her only chance in life at being with Adrien, while Adrien wouldn't even have time for anything. And you bet they'd still keep their hero identities secret which would lead to trust issues. These kids are not Ready. *pets them* Sshh, don't mind the 'shippers, you have time. |

Liou I actually really liked the Chloe/Queen Bee arc! She is still a spoiled brat, but I feel like the writers are giving her an even bigger character development than Marinette herself. XD Sort of like Zuko from Avatar! Granted, Chloe had a much bigger room for improvement than Marinette, but nowadays I really feel like shaking Marinette more in each episode... think this love quadrangle needs an Uno reverse card and make it so that Marinette isn't the one stupidly head over heels in love. XD Totally agree though that if they were a couple right now it'd be a freaking disaster.
So this means practically everyone in the Agreste household has a Kwami??? Guess I'll just wait for them to reveal which superhero the chauffeur is now...
Also I think the first two episodes of Season 3 are out already! Maybe even the third one, but don't quote me on that...
