*Building a franchise that lasted this long while our other franchises are dead
>>156231604Thanks.
I hope they put art prints on the store.
>>156232458I hope so, too.
>>156231604What's Miraculous corp?
>>156234702a new production company they created before S6 to oversee the MLBfranchise. probably to streamline the production because up until now MLB was co-produced by a whole bunch of different companies (like most French shows) which brought many delays in renewing deals. it's also a way of retiring the ZAG name since clearly it never took off as a recognizable brand, although Jeremy Zag himself stil has majority share in Miraculous corp.
>>156234746It’s rather specialized.

>>156235408as I said in Yurope we don't have Disney equivalents in the animation world. big studios aren't producers, each show requires a fucking coalition (sometimes up to a dozen) of producing companies, usually public broadcasters. where each veto is a potential death sentence. MLB was no exception at the beginning, but the cash flow from merch made ZAG ambitous enough to imagine establishing his brand and become truly independent. Miraculous corp is the partial result of this, Zag just understood that his name would never become Yurope's Disney and he'll ever have enough money to fund and control a single franchise just by himself.

>>156235408It is the franchise/merchandising machine that prints the money and being specialized is not a problem.
>>156232458>I hope they put art prints on the store.I thought there was plenty, you can see some in >>156237004.
>>156237004>merchandising machineThe effort is there but their strategy is off. Where are the DVD releases? The translated artbook? The enamel pins? The Displates of kiss scenes?Why are Asian countries so much better at merchandising than us?
>>156237390When I type in 'poster' into the Zag store website, only a kwami poster comes up.
>>156236382cuteness
>>156237596Strange. Meanwhile, have another one.

An update on the live action show:https://ruf.st/MLBFansWorld/status/2119522847144243442#m> || Heath Kenny revealed that Jeremy Zag's main goal for the #Miraculous live-action series is not to retell the same story. Instead, he wants it to be a fresh take on the franchise that "deserves to exist" on its own
>>156240137>let's do a third different reboot of this 10-year-old franchise
>>156240213Well, why not? Older actors for older characters means upgrading merchandising from fluffy cushions and stuffed toys to more adult toys like pic. related.
>>156236647Sounds like a bunch of things Europe made, actually.
>>156237562They do have books, like >>156237616 and the ‘Miraculous Chibi’ graphic novels.

>>156244515The guy who chose what he wore who also happened to be the top fashion designer in Paris just fuckin died. No wonder he's lost the drip.
>>156247452Oof.
So this is going to be the last time Alya presumes her friend evil before being forced to learn the facts, right? Right?
>>156247630You ask Astruc that.
>>156240813Yeah, they're not bad. And I was wrong about the enamel pins, they have some.>>156246764You too.

>>156249754Thanks. They're really going down a checklist of all the things that could fuck up Adrien's life, aren't they?
>>156250080They're not going to stop until Adrien is suicidal
Never forget what could have been...
>>156250595Nobody can.

>>156253348she gets slutty after a breakup
>>156254396I am not even sure what that costume is meant to be. A 90s aerobic outfit? Nobody seems to know.
>>156253348This can’t be real.
>>156254795It is better than her first costume, though.
>>156253348It’s too erotic
>>156250143They’re just putting him through the wringer.

>>156231604As summarized by Gemini:>This video features a conversation with Heath Kenny, Chief Content Officer at Miraculous Corp, discussing the strategic growth and long-term stewardship of the ‘Miraculous Ladybug’ franchise, which is now 11 years old.Key takeaways include:* Maintaining Core DNA: A major factor in the brand's success is the ongoing involvement of the original creators (such as Thomas Astruc, Jeremy Zag, and Sebastian Thibaudeau). They act as a "north star," ensuring that new spin-offs and extensions remain faithful to the show's values and emotional depth (01:39-03:00).* Brand Elasticity: Unlike many female-led properties that struggle to age past a preschool demographic, ‘Miraculous’ has maintained its relevance with a teen and intergenerational audience. This is attributed to its grounding in universal human truths like love, loss, and friendship, rather than just relying on superhero tropes (20:30-22:15).* Diverse Content Ecosystem: The company is strategically expanding the ‘Miraculous’ universe through various formats, including: * Chibis: What began as an organic digital experiment became a hit series with over 1 billion lifetime views, proving the appetite for shorter, comedic content (30:58-35:50). * Live Action & Spin-offs: The team is developing a live-action series with Seesaw and other projects, ensuring they fill "white spaces" in their content map without cannibalizing the core show (10:57-12:51).* Accountability to Fans: The brand balances being data-driven with a deep respect for its vocal global fandom (e.g., in Brazil). By listening to what fans respond to—such as the comedic elements of Cat Noir—they can make informed development decisions while maintaining the integrity of the characters (16:35-17:34).There was a better summary, but I wasn’t able to copy it.
>>156258302Here it is.
>>156258302>rather than just relying on superhero tropes Why are so many publishers ashamed of what they publish?
>>156254396The new opening sequence starting with 703 shows that yes, there has been a breakup.
>>156258464Thanks.
>>156258464That's mighty nice o' ya!
>>156260444It was kinda obvious.
>>156259982Have you seen Marvel and DC lately?
>>156261932No, I should have said >>156254396 "she got slutty after the breakup".
>>156263209Teen pregnancy incoming. After all people have died in this show.
>>156261932Not really, no.
>>156263594Crazy.
>>156265192... yet hardly unknown in France.
>>156261932This season will probably be LB and CN dating
>>156263594People reference Eva but actually it's becoming Karekano. Luka ends with Marinette and Adrien's daughter
>>156267180Which one? Whatever Marinette thinks, there's no way they're having only three kids.
>>156267241The eldest daughter. The one who born from rape
>>156267367Fucking anime.
