HI GUYS
I'm not sure if any of you have watched the first episode of Miraculous Ladybug Season 6 yet, but for those who have and are complaining that it doesn’t carry the same energy as Season 5... What did you expect? I was ready for angst, too, but let’s be real: this isn’t Miraculous being Miraculous—it’s a kids' show being a kids' show.
Imagine little Timmy watching Miraculous Ladybug and the first thing he sees is Ladybug having a panic attack. Timmy might not be too surprised, but you know who wouldn’t be chill? His mom. Some parents can’t handle seeing their kids watch any emotion other than joy or silliness on TV.
This isn’t just Miraculous. Most kids' shows follow this formula. Kids' shows often save the heavy themes for later, which makes it easier to edit content if it’s deemed inappropriate for certain regions. This structure gradually introduces complex themes, allowing kids to get used to the world before it gets too intense. Plus, it gives streaming platforms flexibility to manage content by region.
For instance, TV Parental Guidelines help parents figure out what’s appropriate. Ratings like TV-Y and TV-Y7 are for younger audiences, while TV-PG and TV-14 indicate more mature themes. This helps creators align with both audience and regulatory standards.
Even if that’s not the reason, Miraculous and similar shows tend to save the big, emotional moments for the later episodes. That’s just how it works.
