What Do You Think, Is Chloe’s Main Weakness?

What do you think, is Chloe’s main weakness?

I was trying to decide on which of these two was primary for you, but I think it's a chicken-egg thing.

Her Faith and her Insecurity.

Chloé has zero sense of internal self worth. You can explore why without too much effort. Trophy child, materialistic parents, it's pretty clear what was emphasized growing up.

Without any sense of worth to hang a self-generated framework for morality on, she latched onto other people's.

When she adopts a framework (Audrey/André's being the main) she puts full faith in the correctness of it. She is unshakeable in the face of 'reason'. If not for her faith in the Truth (tm) of how she was raised, she would have given up on the classism long ago. It has never won her anything. She has lost and lost and lost, but she still holds to the fath that the way of life taught by her authority figures is Correct(TM) and it is everyone else who is wrong.

In a sense her willpower is her undoing.

It was Chloé's faith in Ladybug that made her the only person to break free from Hawkmoth without help or Secret Knowledge.

It was the shattering of that faith via Hawkmoth's manipulation and Ladybug's mistakes that caused her downfall.

Chloé needs to be able to accept she has been sold a lie, that others were manipulating her, that she has the right and duty to decide for herself what to believe.

If that happens, I think you would see a cascading change.

So let's say at the end of the day about Chloe, Astruc was trolling about her anyways initally he planned for her that to change she has to lose everything do you think it was the right way to go about it.

Absolutely not.

The target age group for this show was 6-10. At this point the show has been going for 10 years. Your audience has aged out TWO AND A HALF times from the beginning of this 'arc' to this point. Even if you go from S3 that's still... 4-5 years now? Entire group aged out.

That is nothing like a timely lesson. In fact it's a situation where only getting a part of the lesson is actively harmful. So, no, it's a terrible way to go about it.

*IF* you were to be dragging this out that long there needed to be concrete signifiers along the way that what was happening was *not* right. The audience should be primed (all of it, not just stans) to WANT that redemption, to feel cheated, to be railing against the injustice of her pain being hidden in the shadows.

In short even if someone only caught a single season. They should be able to tell that the short-term events were going in a bad direction and that there *is* hope and there *is* a better way that Chloé was being denied by circumstance.

fun cool animal fact: pigs have poor eyesight

even more fun, cooler animal fact: overzealous, (hopefully) unintentionally insensitive ducks will make fun of begrudging bespectacled pigs for their poor eyesight

even MORE fun, coolerer animal fact: ducks have very GOOD eyesight, so the fact that this seemingly does not apply to said overzealous, unintentionally insensitive duck means that he has extremely meager room to talk
