* DearNegativeReader: Thomas Astruc has become somewhat infamous for blocking and insulting anyone who criticizes the show on Twitter. While the fandom does have some notoriously toxic members, he doesn't seem to be able to separate them from people offering genuine criticism in his mind, blocking both groups in equal numbers.

** Foreign new girls Lila and Kagami are both voiced by Clara Soares in the French version.

* TrollingCreator: Thomas Astruc, the creator of the show, qualifies as one. He teased his viewers that Chloe would never get a Miraculous (she got the Bee Miraculous in season 2), Felix won't ever appear (he made his first appearance in the 23rd produced episode of season 3), Mayura will be Hawkmoth's boss (she's treated more like his ally), there will be a zombie apocalypse in Paris (there was one in Zombizou though), and that Gabriel will use the Peacock Miraculous to save the city, but he will be too ashamed to wear a dress, so he will let Paris die instead, and there is a rumor he lied to his audience by believing Chloe will never get redeemed post-Battle of the Miraculous.

* QueerCharacterQueerActor: In the English version, Zoé is voiced by pansexual voice actress Creator/DeneenMelody, and in the fifth season, reveals herself to be romantically attracted to her female friend Marinette.

* Chloé is more or less directly responsible for the Akumatization of twenty villains[[note]]Reflekta, Vanisher, Princess Fragrance, Kung Food, Dark Cupid, Lady Wifi, Timebreaker, Horrificator, Evillustrator, Despair Bear, Zombizou, Frightningale, Malediktator, Stormy Weather 2, Animaestro (along with Marinette), Miraculer, Sole Crusher, Manipula, Vanisher in "Adoration" and Reflekta in "Collusion" (both with Lila)[[/note]], 21 if you count Ivan's retransformation into Stoneheart, 22 if you count her contribution to Rogercop (the decision to fire Roger came entirely from her father, but Chloé did set off the conflict with her accusation of Marinette), and 29 counting herself as Antibug, Queen Wasp twice (In both the debut and in "Heroes' Day"), Miracle Queen, Queen Banana, Penalteam, Sole Destroyer, and Queen Mayor.

* [[IKnewIt/MiraculousLadybug I Knew It]]

* ScrewedByTheNetwork: Because Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} developed an infamous reputation for doing this to their acquired shows (''WesternAnimation/PAWPatrol'' [[AdoredByTheNetwork not withstanding however.]]), fans were alarmed when the network temporarily pulled the series from its schedule in the middle of the first season without warning. This came after an abrupt shift to a later time slot. Sure enough, the show resurfaced on Creator/{{Nicktoons}}, which did not have the same wider distribution that the mothership network had. This is all in addition to the OutOfOrder trope above, which has also been a problem with international airings. Eventually, the show was picked up by Creator/{{Netflix}}, who also gained rights to the second and third seasons.

** Also related to the sentimonster theory, one comment from a recent expo was taken to be that three characters were secretly sentimonsters -- believed to be Adrien, Félix, and either Chloé or Kagami -- but what was actually said was that [[LostInTranslation more than three sentimonsters were used in Season 4]].

* CashCowFranchise: Eight seasons[[note]]four seasons finished and four more seasons in production[[/note]], various specials, two movies, a heap load of comic books, mobile games.

* PostScriptSeason: The creators were upfront that season 5 was meant to be the end of the show, and he last few episodes do have shades of finality, with the teen characters graduating to high school, Chloé losing her KarmaHoudiniWarranty, Marinette and Adrien becoming an OfficialCouple and several adult characters leaving their jobs. However, they were renewed for another three seasons, thus making it merely the end of the show’s first MythArc.
