YMMV / Miraculous Ladybug S02E13 "Zombizou"

Go To

  • Broken Aesop:. Miss Bustier tells Marinette to try and change Chloé for the better by setting a good example. This isn't bad advice overall, but it is ignoring the fact that a large part of Chloé's bad behavior stems from the fact that she rarely suffers the negative consequences of said bad behavior. Something that Miss Bustier is reinforcing by seemingly taking Marinette away for punishment rather than Chloé.
  • Informed Wrongness: When Marinette grows angry with Chloé for vandalizing her gift to Mme. Bustier, this is presented as a bad thing, as it leads to Mme. Bustier getting akumatized. The teacher's way — forgiving Chloé and treating her vandalism as a contribution while telling Marinette to be a good example to Chloé — is shown to be the aesop, even though Chloé never apologizes to Marinette or seems to learn her lesson. Essentially, Marinette is told to not only let her hard work get ruined, but also reward the person who ruined it in the first place.
  • Never Live It Down: While Bustier is still largely depicted in a positive light by the show, many fans refuse to forgive her for not punishing Chloé and telling Marinette to forgive her bully here. Whenever the teacher gets brought up, expect this to be cited as evidence that she's yet another case of Adults Are Useless on the show.
