I ll finally leave a comment because each it pops up i rewatch it. The only concept of Nooroo making someone his champion without passing by a holder is already phenomal. We saw what Plag could do alone, and recently tikki, but OH BOY. It would'nt even need the consent of the champion, just a straight up overpowered being. The other thing I love here is the use of apathy. I don't it's used enough, but it's so thematically strong. Everything Marinette ever did is care. She cares for the city, she cares for the miracluous, she cares for her friends, her family, she cares about her dream, her school life, and love life; and what does everything that she cares like that do ? It kills her from within. The pressure, the failure, the bad talk she has sometimes, and all, all the pain. It all stays inside, bottled up, because she can't let it go. It's a secret, it's to protect, it's better like that. When Nooroo finally gives her something her hearts want : it's not care. It's not feel anything anymore. No more pain, yes, but really it is no more pressure, no more anxiety. Her heart judged that everything good didn t outweight the bad, so it just went drastic and cut everything. And it also brings her motivation like that, and also tied with the solo nooroo action : her goal. Normally, each vilain has a personal goal and gabriel keep them in check to bring him the miraculous. But in her case ? It's purely her wish being fullfilled. No one to keep her in line. And linked to her now apathy : simply destroying everything that brings pain. I don't think she would go personnal, like attacking Chloe or something like that, more : destroying the miraculous. As she fights the holders lead by Alya, she just wants to destroy those powerful artefacts that brought her so much troubles. Because that's really what caused her SO MUCH pressure and pain : the vilains, Gabriel's fool dream to bring his wife back making him forget the ones alives around him, her mentor that spends his whole life trying to rewrite a wrong, and most of all : her secret. On a last note, and it's more farfetched here. Nooroo and Gabriel always stocked the akuma into an item of the champion. But here ? Nothing. Nooroo and the peacock miraculous are both very much linked to matter : one needs it to give power and the other give matter to something that don't have any (emotions). The crazy idea is : what if Nooroo learned from the peacock here ? What if he gaves power into something immaterial : something that cannot be contained and is theorically infinite. It brings a LOT of questions, the most important : how do we destroy it to free the akuma ? AND HERE COMES THE GENIUS OF MARINETTE'S DESIGN HERE (not linked to my theory, but more ing general) she doesn't have an akuma, SHE IS THE AKUMA. And it really encapsulate the whole point of the show, a bit childish at time : you can't ignore your emotions. Most of the time, they breaks the items, fix paris and the now ex vilain does something to not feel like that anymore ( or is cast away in case of already evil person). Here, with Marinette, it's not possible. You cannot free her in the classical method. And we can go even farther : would they need to break her or to purify her ? They can't ignore her feelings because SHE IS the feelings, overflowing and destroying everything around in the process. That was my take, thanks if someone got this far in reading it.
