Take a Shot Every Time They Say the Word, "Plastic"
This is an environmental episode of Miraculous Ladybug. And if you didn't get that now, you definitely will within the first minute of this episode. Because this episode really loves to hammer it down your throat that plastic is bad. And no, the title isn't lying, they do say the word "plastic" a ton in this episode, making up probably a quarter of the dialogue that the characters say.
But you wanna know what's funnier about this episode? This episode got the 1 1/2 minute-long epic trailer treatment. I'm not even joking. And while I feel that it deserves some promotion as the message does need to be heard by more people, I really don't feel like it deserves the same trailer music as the Season 5 Finale of the show.
There's also the fact that they felt that this was the episode where we get to see Ladybug and Cat Noir's transformation sequences again after a full season without them. And while it's nice to see, it feels a little weird that this is the episode that brings them back instead of something like the season finale.
Once we get to the hero action, things start to get better. Although, there's a few weird lines after the transformation sequences where they say "The villain's headed towards the famous designer, Gabriel Agreste, and his son, Adrien," as if we don't know who these characters are after watching the show for 5 seasons. "But wait," you might say, "This episode is a one-off episode to be shown at schools, separately from the show, so maybe the audience won't know the full scope of the characters." And you'd be right if there wasn't already a scene earlier in the episode where Adrien confronts his father about the plastic, establishing their connection that way, so the line just feels like forced exposition.
Aside from that, the actual villain fight is pretty good, which is a consistent factor from the show, anyway. This episode is fine in terms of its message, but it does hammer that message down your throat right from the get-go. So if you want to watch this, prepare to hear the word, "Plastic" more times in the span of 22 minutes than you've probably heard in your whole life.
