The Evillustrator⎮Miraculous Ladybug Season 1 Retrospective Review

- Another day, another review. And this time it's a good one: Evillustrator. The first ever episode of the show I ever saw....the one that started it all...and honestly all things considered it has aged quite nicely. Season 1 is so much better than I remember so far.

It's kinda sad this is the only episode to focus on Nathaniel, when hes without a doubt the most relatable character in show. In the background of almost every episode set in-school, he is just lying on his desk, head first just done with life.
Agreed. I relate to him and Juleka way more than Adrien and Marinette
Reminds me of Ishigami from Kaguya sama.
He's too done with life to appear
@@anotheryoutubeaccount5259 lmao
@@whatever5401 yeah same here 😊😉
I do agree that this episode was very refreshing in that it didn’t stick to the usual episode formula. It honestly makes me miss Miraculous’ more experimental era.
That's why slice of life is cool
Yeah well tbh when they were trying new things people were hating a lot on that so what do yall expect.
@@thanosbutididntkillloki5373 😭 yes
Fun fact!
The polish dub had a significant mistake in this episode. When Marinette and Evillustrator were on the boat and he communicated with Hawkmoth he said something like "I want Marinette to love me" and Hawkmoth responded with "and I want her miraculous!" Which implied he found out her identity
it's actually kinda funny and interesting how they manage to fuck up one of the most vital parts of the show in such a simple way lmao
Ohh
evillustrator went from one of the nicer akumatized villains who had no intentions of hurting anyone to straight up homicidal in a span of like 10 seconds
You really ripped into how publicly humiliated Nathaniel was😂
I feel like the show would be so much better if it didn't have the "formula" as a base. This episode really shows how dynamic things could be without it.
Agreed! The basic formula of
person gets angry/sad
Person gets akumatized
LB + CN fight and break the object
Happy ending
Is getting boring.
But this formula made up what was so fun about S1. It's all the scenarios and characters written around it.
@@snatchingcareers4681 yeah same here 😊 😉
Yeah, I agree that this can be one of the biggest problems with the show: the formula. Especially since it’s a super hero show. It just won’t work forever (at least in my opinion).
Remember how in season 1, Nathaniel became a fan favorite after this episode and had so many fanarts? Imagine how popular he could've been if the writers gave him screentime, development and a more significant role in the story...
fr
wish he became the second love interest instead of luka tbh i like luka but his whole purpose as a character is to like marinette, nath at least didnt exist just to be simp for her
Sure, girls love sweet anime boys. I even remember how everyone speculated what if he became a new miraculous holder.
@@smart.but.stupid based on some old fanarts that I saw, people apparently thought he was gonna be the holder of the Fox Miraculous
@@whatever5401 yeah, exactly! Then Lila showed up and everyone thought she'd be a new superhero too. How ironic
Chat Noir in fanfiction: Chad, smart, and pretty versatile.
Chat Noir in the show: beta, not so smart (combat wise), and is inefficient.
In seriousness though, I love this episode, and I feel like season 1 is my favorite season
Marinette is a character for the show to develop. Adrien is a tool for the show to use.
That is my personal stance. Adrien is the " standard hero reward" for Marrinette at the end of her adventure dressed up to be an equal.
Do like the creativity of the episode however.
@@nkohler5601
Indeed, and that's horrible. They false preach female empowerment. But dumbing done all the male heroes. That's not equality, it's just disgusting writing.
Adrien Cattastic Kitty Cat Noir Agreste was the reason I got into this crappy show. Adrino (brotherly), Plagg and hiss Kitten moments and mainly OTP Adrigami.
Uhm...Chat Noir is shown as very competent. He is not inefficient. He was shown fighting literally 4 to 5 villains at the same time. Not something Ladybug can do, even if she does, it is not as good as Chat. Ladybug has wits, but Chat is very clever too. Sometimes he understands the plan without any explanation, though them being so very CompliCATed. He has proven himself in the show many times, especially season 4 finale. He was just being mistreated and avoided, but as soon as Ladybug realised, she tried to make him happy.
No he's not, lol. He makes a few misshaps so what
The way ms mendeleiev lifted him from his coat is hilarious
Yeah I know 😊 😉 😌
Really wished Nathaniel was still a love interest to Marinette instead of introducing Luka, whose sole purpose was to be a secondary love interest and nothing else.
And i disliked how Nathaniel after being deakumatized wasnt even talked to and the focus shifted to Marinette and Adrien.
OMG IKR?! Imagine how popular Nathaniel could've been if the writers gave him more screentime, development and a more significant role in the story
@@whatever5401 yeah that would be amazing 👏 😍 🙌
Evilustrator was a decently good person and for an introduction to Nataniel, it shows him as being creative and having a dang crush on Creepynette which seems to almost affect a good portion of the guys in the school and even in Marinettes class and Sabrina being an obvious cling on to Chloe was firat shown here and it WONT be going away for some time STILL. Marichat was indeed born in this episode and this ship is obviously too underappreciated or underdeveloped despite Cat Noir being displayed as a somewhat incompetent hero, which hes not. BTW, now that we have Nathaniel having used the Goat Miraculous and its abilities, this was a subtle display of that here and that it wouldnt be displayed until 3 SEASONS LATER, but yeah.........those are my opinions on this episode.
Agree because Thomas doesn’t like Marichat. He doesn’t see the potential between them but we see it
I highly disagree with Marichat being the most underappreciated ship. It is a really good ship but the most underrappreciated is definitely Ladrien. And if you have seen season 4 finale, it is clear that there will be A LOT of growth in Ladynoir and Marichat. Marichat is confirmed, the foreshadowing says. Have you seen Marinette fall for a black cat in each season's opening? MARICHAT! Season 5 will have a lot of Marichat, I guess. And Thomas Astruc also gives Marichat one whole special episode each season, which no other ship gets. The Marichat episode in each season is always one with a lot of plot. BRUH
@@chunnilal2111 The episode each season is true. We have this episode, can't think right now of the ones in seasons 2 or 3, Glaciator 2 in season 4, and Elation in season 5. But I don't like Ladrien. It always ends up being very cringy. The only good Ladrien episode is Riposte because we don't focus a lot on it.
@@chunnilal2111 Guess you were wrong about season 5 lol
@@anemouche5838 I mean somewhat? Marichat still had a lot of growth. Idk what happened to Ladynoir. Adrien suddenly realising his feelings after all this time was somewhat unpredictable for me 😭
The fact that Sabrina is so quick to latch onto Mari when she stands up for her is just so sad. You can tell Sabrina is rarely ever treated well and is starved for positive human interaction that as soon as someone actually cares, she goes into parasite-mode
Nah she's just a massive parasite. She latches on anyone until someone better (or with a better offer) shows up. She's a loser
The sad thing about this episode is that this is the only episode where we get some character development for Sabrina, and it was even just a side plot. In the episodes where she turns into Vanisher and Miraculer, she has less character development then this episode. Here, she realizes that Chloe is using her as a slave and tries to do the same to Marinette (because that's how she thinks friendship works?), but in those other episodes, she's just taking revenge on Chloe and Ladybug because her feelings got hurt.
It's just sad that they gave Sabrina character development so early, but decided to do nothing with that for the rest of the 4 seasons. Even when she receives the Dog miraculous, nothing realy happens with her character, besides that she likes football and wants to play against Chloes wishes. Sabrina doesn't go behind Chloes back (Chloe just says "fine"), she doesn't get angry that Chloe controls her, we don't see the reason why Sabrina puts up with Chloes slavery thing, nothing. It would've been great if Sabrina quit being Chloes friend (maybe with Marinettes help) and THAT is what pushed Chloe towards Lila, not just "Hi, welcome to the bench. We both hate Marinette, so let's team up"
Yeah that sounds perfect 🥰 💞 👌
I'm hoping we get Sabrina development in the episode after Revelation. I think it's confrontation.
I'll admit, it took me a while to notice something:
this is basically a reimagining of power rangers, except with teenagers. Red being in charge and everything
This is one of my favorite episodes and the one that also got me interested in the series. Not because of the love square, but because of Nathaniel himself as a character. Evillustrator is one of the best Akuma designs with an amazing power set, he's a very sympathetic villain, he even fought off Hawkmoth's control just so he could romance Marinette. These facts made Nathaniel my favorite character, including him being an introverted artist, which I could relate to. He sadly gets the least amount of screentime of all the classmates, but giving him Marc as a love interest in s2 and more screentime in S4 has helped keep his fanbase afloat.
Omg I finally found a fellow Nathaniel fan! Remember how in season 1, Nathaniel became a fan favorite after this episode and had so many fanarts? Imagine how popular he could've been if the writers gave him screentime, development and a more significant role in the story...
@@whatever5401 yeah I know 😊 😉 😌
Well there are times when they yell "Spots on!" or "Claws Out" (or whatever it is) and we see the kwami get sucked in and they transform automatically so the transformation sequences probably aren't actually happening.
This was also the birth of Nathchloe, which, by the way, was one of my first contacts with the series. To be honest, it's a ship that certainly doesn't work today, but I still have fun reviewing fanarts and comics from that time, but still recognizing that it doesn't work in canon and not being a favorite for the majority.
Wait a minute nathchloe is a thing?
Damn
@@arash.a2358 It became very popular especially at the time when we thought Chloe would have a redemption arc, but then came season three, and with it came Marc and the breaking of the arc that Chloe was having.
@@cacaumassipanoficial6203 oh I see
God, NathChloe, what a throwback. Kinda funny how Chloe got shipped with both Nathaniel and Luka; two guys with unrequited feelings for Marinette. I kinda wish Nathaniel's crush didn't just poof and fade away after one episode. I don't see anything particularly special happening with it, but it's a little weird how, aside from Luka, who's _designed_ to like Marinette, guys who are introduced as crushing on Marinette just stop having a crush on her by the end of the episode.
@@tama3162 The most ironic part of it is that later we saw that Nath developed a crush on Ladybug, like, he managed to fall in love with both sides of the character, no one else has done this 😅
Honestly I think Marinette and Nathaniel would've made a better couple than Adrien and Marinette--or at least make them a couple for half a season.
Yeah that would be interesting 🤔 😏 🙂
If Adrien wasn't in the picture, I'd definitely ship Marinette and Nathaniel.
@@tainamichelle2683 same here
@OpticalSorcerer I agree with you
THATS WHAT IM SAYINGG
Season 1 was almost perfect! The writing, characters and just Ladybug and Cat Noir working together.
I do wonder if Hawk Moth started harassing his villains more after this. It seemed like he let Evillustrator have free range for hours, but didn't started getting on his case until his date, the one thing he wanted.
I can't help but think the real reason Gabriel doesn't go out in public anymore is because he spends all his time lurking in that lair of his. Some of his villains hang around for hours, like Vanisher, who seems to of been around for a full day before anyone noticed. Granted maybe he had a meeting her couldn't get out of and left Evillustrator unattended for a while.
Yeah I know 😊 😉 😌
This episode becomes a mixed bag for me once it ends. Because I like this episode, I like Marinette in it, I like Nathanial in it, I like Chat in it, I like Sabrina in it, and I like how they all interact with each other in it. I even like the ending, Nathanial's feelings are known but he's not forced to confront them before he's ready, Sabrina is back but we know how she feels now, and we have a new Marichat dynamic to explore.
And none of that happens. Sabrina never changes, Marichat gets far to little time to shine, and Nathanial's feelings seem to just vanish.
Yeah I agree ✋ 😊 👍
i feel so bad for chat noir. he's a superhero too and saves everyone anytime but he sill doesn't get the affection as he deserves like ladybug gets
How does he not? Like in universe people love him, they have a statue not Ladybug has a statue, people cheer for him, people want to interview him. Like he's just flat not as important as Ladybug, both in the fights(she's beaten him how many times?) and because of Cure, but people still love him. He still get's the same stuff.
@@nahte123456Where exactly did he get a statue of his own? He has a statue next to Ladybug, but that doesn't make it a tribute to him (One detail, the guy who made the statue says he made it in honor of Ladybug). While Ladybozo has a blog dedicated to her, a statue made with her in mind, a song dedicated to her, a clothing line dedicated to her, a comic dedicated to her, a film dedicated to her, etc. Cat Noir gets what in comparison? The most of his fans in this series were two episodes and they were just randoms. Since the first season, Ladybozo has had her own fans who do things for her (Jesus, Heroes' Day was a tribute to Ladybug), while Cat Noir... is Cat Noir. Cat Noir at most had a bunch of extras running after him and this was for a minute in only two episodes in the entire series. To say that he receives the same affection as Ladybozo is at least hilarious.
I so hope we see more of Nathaniel! He’s one of my favorites
F for nath and Marinette
Nathaniel was more than willing to give up his Akuma if Mari had just gone through with the date. He wanted her to come alone and just be with him for one date. He promised not to hurt Chloe if she kept her end of the bargain. She didn't and tried to steal his Akuma! If she just waited, he would've given it to her!
Yes, it was creepy the way he asked but akumatized people aren't the most rational in social situations. His normal self wouldn't have worked up the nerve to ask her out in the first place (Or let anyone know that it was his birthday). She didn't even bother talking to him about his crush after the fact, like a decent person. She could've let him down gently while he apologized for getting akumatized (and maybe the love art).
Sorry, I know I'm ranting. I went into this show knowing it was a train wreck. I ignore the love whatever-it-is-now-gon, the ships, and the character butchering. I enjoy the puns, the weird animation, and playing "where's Waldo" with Nathaniel.
I don't know about the letting him down part. He never willingly told her, it was the teacher and Hawk Moth that did it, do you really want to rub his face into his secrets getting shoved into the open against his will? I wouldn't. It should be his choice if that talk is had or not, at least in the short term.
Also she didn't break the deal, ignoring that she has no guarantee he'll keep his word, but it was Chat getting spotted that ruined it really.
Of course I don't think it's ever brought up again so maybe he just forgot or something.
@@nahte123456 yeah I agree ✋ 😊 👍
I see that Nathaniel has always been introverted,that helps when you had an embarrassing moment,also imagine if chloe filmed marinettes bedroom and a clip of her obsessing over Adrien and she shows it to the entire class.
Yeah that would be interesting 🤔 😏 🙂
@@stefaniarusso indeed
I love Nathaniel so much!! It would be so cool to see an episode focused on the other classmates besides mari and Adrien 😍💛
Thank you! I 100% agree with you!
@@whatever5401 yeah same here 😊 😉
One of my favourite episodes from S1. I love it so much, I was laughing so hard after that Marichat scene
3:15 totally relate to this, when I was in school I’d happily do the whole damn assignment if it meant avoiding being the presenter 😂 that changed in university tho, by then that was the better option by far, tho I admit by then I also had an ADHD diagnosis and proper meds for it, which drastically took the difficulty of it away, especially in managing to come up with responses to on the spot questions at the end.
I feel like season 1 gets way too much hate!!! The attention to detail in the beginning is really fun to watch.
The teacher and the questions part.... SO RELATABLE
We should have more explanation on the transformation scene. It take like ten seconds most of the time but in season 5 it take less than a second with wherever they are the room has a bright red/green flash.
I'm pretty sure they don't actually do the movements; they just get transformation animations to look cool and maybe pad out some episode time.
Evillustrator is one of the only Season 1 villains that can’t really be properly improved by being buffed with a Sentimonster. Mostly since he has no good idea for a Sentimonster since he already does all he needs.
this was a hilarious video, and the formula in the earlier seasons where the fight was broken up was quite good. With the exception of the horrendous consistency with their powers. Ive seen episodes where cat noir has 2 pads on his ring seconds after activating his power, and in other episodes the one who uses their power first somehow lasts longer. these errors are funny to look back on though. I guess both the writers and the characters have more common sense now in the later seasons by making them recharge their powers when they know they're nowhere near close to defeating the villan yet
the first episode I ironically ever saw was the first one XD I watched it in french class in 8th grade and was like "this is actually pretty good..." I wouldnt admit it cuz everyone was making fun of it but, I went home and binged
This is one of my favourite episodes from Season 1 besides Volpina,Nathaniel is a cool concept whilst not original is still cool,Bit off topic but Marc and Nathaniel remind me of George and Harold (TETOCU fans will get what I mean)
A fun fact is that in the Swedish dub Nathaniel and Harold in the movie have the same voice actor
I feel like you're forgetting that Ladybug's super power is luck. Any time she uses her lucky charm she gains like 9999 luck, allowing her to literally pull off the impossible.
No that does not make sense how didn’t the bouncy ball get out of control
@@Radkeyboard7984 ...because she's lucky. That's the whole point of her power. When she uses her lucky charm, she becomes so lucky that when she throws the ball, it hits and breaks ALL the lights in the room. After the ball broke all the lights, it probably slowed down and stopped bouncing.
I'm sure I've said this before, but the thing I love about marichat is how it's without any awkwardness or one person expressing love wihtout being reciprocated and it's just a pure, platonic relationship.
For me, this was the birth of my never-ending crush on the creepy ginger emo...
F for nathinal
Hey @smartypants, I enjoy your content. How do you make video essays. Like where do you find the ongoing clips of miraculous in the background?
I think the same thing all the time
Marichat is the best ship and you can’t change my mind
I'm from Germany and here is The Evillustrator episode 7, while The Bubbler is episode 2.
F’s in the chat for Nathaniel
F’s in the chat for Marinette
Evillustrator was the most 3 dimensional akumatized villain.
He's not a villain anymore
Agreed
@@giacomoaluotto4053 ooh I wish he was a villain 😏
I really wish that you did bring up that Evilustrator tried to MURDER our heroes and Chloe with giant saws.
Yeah that would be amusing 😄
3:47 WHAT IS THAT LAUGH?! LOL
I love this episode how Mari makes fun of chat when he’s talking and at the end adrien asks what Mari thought of chat
I honestly hate that. Because it proves how much of a insensitive jerk Marinette can be.
F for Nathaniel
This was also the first episode I ever watched! I looked at Chat Noir and my 13 year old brain fell in love
i love how shiny cat noirs hair is in the early seasons
I wonder how Nath was able to face Marinette in class after this whole mess.
He's so brave lol...like if I were him I would have switched universes and went to live with aliens or smth
@@aarssassin ooh that's very cool 😎 👌 😄
This episode was also the first episode for me
Was just bored and Disney channel was on
I was not really watching and then I got caught up in the episodes story.
Wait bubbler was supposed to be next
F, HUGE F for nathaniel
I remember using this episode for a
Passive, aggressive and the third thing I forgot it was for a leadership class it's been years. I've also been a marichat shipper since I seen the episode.
Wow
@@anotheryoutubeaccount5259 yup it was a short video
@@blueraccoon1088 Interesting. So you used a clip of the episode or?
@@anotheryoutubeaccount5259 evillistrator and others but I'll need to update them since I could upload them
I would honestly love to see you do this kind of thing for Trollhunters and wizards (maybe even 3below)
I have yet to see an episode by episode review of tales of Arcadia and it’d be really cool
I do hope we get some more Nathaniel in season 5...the last episode he properly got some development in was Reverser. Sure he's appeared in episodes in season 4, but he was kinda overshadowed by Marc. I do love Marc and their relationship, but I wish we'd see more of him shining on his own (I wish he got his chance to shine as a hero on his own with a debut episode instead of part of PenalTeam)
Everyday I think about how popular Nath could've been if the writers gave him some development and a more significant role in the story
@@whatever5401 yeah that would be wonderful 😊 😀 🙂
same here with the different formula episodes getting me into watching miraculous! the first episode i watched was antibug. . . it was an okay episode but it was that scene right at the end where lb and cn look at each other that got me hooked! ! ! !
Man those were the days 💕
There's a lot of times where both ladybug and catnoir transform in public
F for nathanial
Where did those daily videos come from?
F for Nathaniel and f for Marinette
1:00 which is why some people believe that mlb was just made up by nathan using kids in his class, interesting theory but i don't quite like it very much
I think lady wifi was after this one
Image there being an alternate universe where gabe wants to rule the world
Law suit for drawing a comic? People and events inspire comics and movies that's why at the end of the credits it says "all characters are fictional no one in this movie living or dead are related to or resemble them in anyway shape or form"
4:55 4.56 Tikki loooves to transform
Just think about the chance to meet Nathaniel and Mark, outside of the series where they are super
Yeah that's so true 👍 👌
Hm, interesting opinions and points.
I can't believe it.🤦🏼♀️ Literally EVERYTHING you say--I agree with.🤧 Goodness.💀
In France this episode is épisode 7 and lady wifi is episode 4 so that's why lady wifi existe in this episode 😅 idk why America doesn't have the same order for the episode than France.
We didn´t even get a SINGLE SCENE, that Nathalie was in! What the hell?
and the most hilarious ship since MCU Star-Lord and Gamora was truly born
Honestly? 😂 I'll never forget my senior year when I was paired up with the 3 people i hated most for a project I had already done the previous year (i had to transfer after my junior year and do the other project on my own that was supposed to be given 2 years). At first I thought oh great i already know how this project works and i can help so we might be able to build a better bond.... but no 😂 anytime i tried to bring something up that would help, I was talked over or just told to shut up🤦🏼♀️
This was also my first episode
Good old times…. 🐞🐾✨💖💕
Welcome to the new movie called
Super Nathan August 26th 2023
Well is he actually super
As a Nathan, I find it funny that Nathaniel drew pictures when I suck at art.
Mine was conviently the orgin story
Am I the only one who misses season 1
#respectforchatanoir
Will forever ship nathaniel and marc
I miss the days when the show had a little more personality, but it's also sad bc you wanna see growth by s4 and Adrien/CN doesn't have it consistently yet. They've let him do this gig like it's a fun hobby this whole time bc Marinette is the one who has to shoulder the mental and physical load of actually saving the day while Chat has to defer to her like an underling (bc things really go badly otherwise). This was fine for the first season, maybe even the first quarter of s2...but all the way to the end of s5?
Y e e s h.
Rip to Nathanael tho, no one follows up with him after this and he's hardly noticed again until Marc comes along 🥲
Sabrina is a strange, yet boring wild card. She has fanatical obsession with Chloe (that her dad supports, jfc) but resents her and will be loud about it when she thinks she has a stronger host to attach to. She serves under Chloe until the plot needs her to have an interest outside of kissing her ass (penalteam). As a character...she really doesn't have any, so honestly? If she never gets a miraculous again, it's not a loss. Very strange for a show to make me feel that way when it's allegedly promoting 'female empowerment' 😬
F FOR NATHANIEL
F for Marinette
I love this episode, it’s got Nathaniel, Marichat, living art, just good vibes all around
Edit: also can we agree Nathaniel’s outfit is kinda ugly, like both is civilian and Evillistrator outfit are eeuugh
Edit: Evillistrator was UNHINGED, wacky, nutso, murder-with-buzz-saw crazy, date-on-a-barge-for-two creepy, like, chill my dude
Edit: F
One time I got in a group with the pick me and someone who forced nerds to do his work it was awful
Season 2 Chloe 😭
F nate
Hm, sometimes I wonder about the chronological order of this Show.
Hi
A parasitic slug... Honestly, now that you say that. I can see it.

Later seasons definitely flanderize a lot of the characters.

I miss those days in season 1. Miraculous ladybug was way fun and peaceful until Luka and Kagami existed~
fr they should of use nathielnall and chloe as second choise
Hey! We do not Insult Kagami and Luka!
