And then Lila just dips for almost the entirety of the next season. 😂

Don't you just love how Tiki is responsible when she sees the book and tells Marinette it's important, but Plague doesn't say anything about the peacock miraculous that's literally right there.

One thing that annoyed me is Marinette giving up her miraculous so Lila wouldn't drop Adrian. Couldn't she just catch him or use her yo yo

This should've been the episode where Adrien stopped idolizing/making excuses for Ladybug and Marinette stopped obsessing over him.

Lila's superpower is forced incompetence on the universe around her.

I love how Plagg just straight up ignored the peacock Miraculous. Yes, I know it was in camouflage mode, but come on.

So not once did Adrien thought it was weird that Gabriel had a book with drawings similar to Miraculous?

You forgot to mention how the episode finale was so powerful that people waited two years for the second season

Oh boy, Marinette just opened a Pandora's box here...and (five seasons later) she still doesn't know it.

If Lila tried to make those claims in real life she would be immediately met with "yeah riiiiight..." followed by some sarcastic remark like "and I'm the queen of England" or something like that.

Lila is honestly one of the worst written characters in the show. I really like the idea behind her- a liar who gets everyone’s favor that eventually uses her lies against the main character- but the execution was just so badly done from the beginning. The writers act like she’s a bigger deal than she is, you pointed out Alya’s video of her getting massive clicks as a prime example- there’s no way that would get that many views. Even 10 years ago on the internet that could be so quickly verified, or even if people don’t try to they’d be so full of doubt. You are also so right about how school kids would react to her; I told some of my classmates once about me meeting a famous person at an event (just meeting, not getting close with or becoming bffs like Lila claims) and I got blasted with “pics or it didn’t happen.”

Honestly? Lila wasn't even that bad back then. Her hatred for ladybug was completely justified. Getting humiliated in front of your crush like that? Yikes. Like considering the class consits of:

Since Lila was written so ludicrously from her very first appearance, that gave me an idea for my AU of Miraculous Ladybug, where Lila has the Fox Miraculous and conjures up illusions of her lies to make it appear she is telling the truth. At least so the rest of the cast doesn’t appear to be complete idiots only when Lila is in the room.

To be fair, if spider man called me a douche, id be like “oh my god…he knows who I am!”

Marranett takes her stalker thing up to 11

While she's still personally the bane of my existence 😂 I remember the day she came out and was instantly controversial! Honestly to this day I still wish we had a fox fight between alya and her 😮

I'm surprised you didn't mention the fact that Plagg didn't even notice the peacock miraculous in Gabriel's safe.

All the stupid crap Lila makes up is so ridiculous like, HOW do they believe her until THE END OF SEASON 5??????? They may as well be as smooth-brained as Gabriel.

It's funny how Tikki convinced Marinette to follow Lila to get the book when Marinette just wanted to tell Adrien about Lila stealing the book. Also, it's so interesting to see how uncomfortable Adrien is when Lila is flirting with him, which continues in the show. So, he was beyond awkward before Adrien knew Lila was a liar. And I can't blame Marinette for reacting like she did because I would also hate if someone lied about being my best friend to gain popularity. Again, Alya, you're supposed to be a reporter who wants to report the truth. Yet, here she believes some random person who she just met and, as far as she knows, barely moved to Paris is somehow Ladybug's "best friend" without confirming it with Ladybug herself or thinking critically like serious Alya it's going to be a miracle if you get a job as a reporter because this interview with Lila will always hang over your head for not doing your research. Also, Alya, did it not cross your mind how bad of an idea it would've been to post it on the Ladyblog knowing that Hawk Moth would look through your blog to get any information on the heroes he can use to his advantage. Again, it's a miracle that Lila isn't much of a target for Hawk Moth, as he knows the truth 😑😑😑.
