Aaaaaa I completely forgot I changed the Peacock Miraculous power!! But I did think of an idea for how I can reconcile it. Basically, the Peacock Miraculous' power WAS to create sentimonsters, but the incident at the Guardian Temple deeply traumatized Duusu (hence why the Miraculous 'broke') and changed the Miraculous' power.
Calli, that's really unique! Perhaps when Kwamis are overcome by emotions, like fear, it can drain the Ladybug's suit color for example into black and white, so they can be used for stealth unintentionally?
I mean I was saying how maybe it's one of the other Miraculous items that have that power instead of the Peacock, but maybe that works too, like maybe it was a spell from the book that changed the Peacock's power?
And even explain why Fu got in the ambush cuz he didn't know the peacock power changed, or if he did would think the sentimonster was gone, so he assumed it wasn't being used but the same miraculous that was in his mistakes was there and even changed for his downfall
I really like that, actually. Come to think of it, that works really well with my headcanon that originally, the Butterfly was the one to be damaged, but Duusu took the damage herself to save Nooroo. Since the Butterfly’s power is to give other people powers, it would make sense that Duusu taking Nooroo’s damage would change her own Miraculous’s power.
In my rewrite I also imagine him belonging to that trope of character who looks young but is actually hundreds years old, and I can imagine him walking in the street and someone gets really confused by looking at him since his white hair and expression marks makes him look like a middle aged man but his face and body shape is of a super fit young man who's in his twenties
Is it just me or does anyone find Master Fu's negligence towards the Chat Noir hilarious cuz he's always there, guiding Marionette but he just leaves the cat boy with the power to destroy literally anything he touches without an ounce of supervision. Like Marionette needs to watched over and tutored, but the emo kid with the power of destruction will be FINE
And less than 5 ep if Felix was there to discover about it and stole it from them (is more than 1 because of Nathalie and cuz Felix has a life and tea with his mother outside of the family drama)
I don't know what is more ironic. That I had been playing Genshin with Kaeya just before watching the video or that this redisign looks like Kaeya would when he was in his 50s - 60s

Master Fu to me was never a character, but a plot device. They needed a reason to why two kids would receive magic powers and went like "well, someone could have granted them the powers because that's what happens in all classic magical girls shows". If you delete Fu from existence and think of other excuse like "they bought it on a garage sale without knowing it was a magical item" or other thing the show would barely change...
If they actually bought it without knowing it was a magical item it would actually be better : thoses kids would both mess up because they litteraly have no one to guide them, they would be on their own and have to figure things themselves

The time loop in Evolution where the reason he chose them is because they visited him in the past and *told him that they chose them in the future* is such a cop out too.
Calli, you would be happy to know that you are not alone in the sentiment with Master Fu. He is one of the characters who is at the top of my least favorite Miraculous characters of all time. Not only did he decide to make two children wield the most powerful Miraculous of all time (which is hypocritical since he was a kid forced to a new lifestyle without his consent), but also was barely a mentor figure to begin with. He never trained them like he should have, leading to mistakes that he could have prevented if he interacted with them. He prioritize training Ladybug and not including Cat Noir, even though he selected BOTH of them to protect the city and are suppose to be partners, you know, yin-and-Yang. And worst of all, he chose to forgo going to the Guardian Temple where he could have gotten allies that could defeat Hawk Moth quickly, but instead force the responsibility of Guardian to Marinette when he shouldn’t have to! There were more Guardians he could have given back to! Oh, and did you know it was implied Master Fu never told Marinette that when she passes on the Guardianship, she’ll lose all her memories? I feel like she should have known that so she would actually think deeper if she wanted to be the Guardian or not. For Heaven sake, she shouldn’t have even been the Guardian since there are more back at the temple! Just grab the Horse Miraculous and teleport there yourself! With all that aside, I do like the redesign of Master Fu. I think it’s uncommon for mentor characters to look old yet still look fit and good at his age. The only character I can think of that falls under this trope is Eda Clawthorne from The Owl House, but I don’t know if she can count since she’s technically in her 40s while Master Fu is almost two hundred years old! I also like how you still utilize some of the traits in the show, mainly his cowardice, but also add a little more like his selfishness. No human being is perfect nor a 100% complete saint, and Master Fu shouldn’t be perfect. Yet the narrative seems to want us to think so. In my opinion, it felt like his character arc was incomplete with the potential of growth and development he could have had. And I absolutely love the idea of Fu becoming a surrogate father to Cat Noir, mostly because I love found family of sorts. It would just make his death much more impactful to him.
Master Fu is probably the shittiest executed mentor character I've seen. In addition to all the stuff Calli said, we never see him teach either of his students anything of worth. Not how to fight properly,teamwork, using tactics,nothing about Miraculous lore or how to use their Miraculous powers, how to deal with superhero responsibilities, or even just guiding them outside of the suit on growing as people and helping them learn from their mistakes. He's just useless.
I'm not saying the mentor character has to perfect,but you at least have to show them being competent at their job and the show fails at that. If they had shown him doing his job an actually teaching his students(and not favoring one over the other),it would've actually helped Adrien and especially Mari's characters because we would've gotten to see them slowly grow into being heroes and earn the skills that aren't pulled out of their asses. I do think that S4 missed a huge opportunity with doing something inteteresting with Fu's character by acknowledging Fu being a crappy mentor. They could've tied it into Mari dealing with being the Guardian by starting to emulate his shitty behavior to give her guidance. And Adrien would notice, not be happy and that would be the cause of the friction between them. Thing get worse between the two until Mari realizes Fu was a shitty mentor and decides to not make the same mistakes.
@@infinitedreamer9359 yes, that’s what I thought season 4 would do too! I might make a oneshot of that though. If the show won’t write it, we will You want me to credit you when I do that?
This is GOLD, for godness sake, now this story feels like something that deserves stay awake in the midnight just to see a new episode. Nine redisigns and this is already glorious
I absolutely loved the story you did for fu, I was almost tearing up cause of how much more of a person you made him, he feels like the opposite of adrian in a way (& not because of comparing him with marian to them), him feeling like a failure is amazing since in the show he is the reason for all the bad stuff from the beginning, but here he just runs away from his problems, the add on of the mask was honestly genius cause it can also be shown as him still running away, covering/hiding his face away from others even when trying to help to little to late, & that ending when he finds out marinette is actually a little kid is beautiful, realizing he put all this pressure on her rather than just handing her the miraculous cause why not, I actually felt emotion when he was gone here than in the series, his final moments could be taken as, "I'm not running from my past anymore"
To add on - I can't even blame him too much considering yes, he also never asked to be one of the keepers. I'm assuming Calli's using the same backstory of when he had to train like the monks in which they subjected a child to take over incredibly important artifacts as a way to practice discipline (which to me is honestly just as irresponsible), so while it doesn't justify all his actions, I can definitely see why he became like this due to that sort of childhood. I can also see why he rather be immature since he never had a proper childhood - Of course he wants to indulge in a fantasy, since the reality of his previous environment didn't let him be a kid every once in a while. Which is also why I love the addition of Marianne - That's when his past is no longer an excuse, and that's when we, and he himself, have started realizing that it wasn't all just the past that made him this selfish and uncaring.
I like to imagine users of the turtle miraculous live longer, because the whole "turtle immortality" thing and I love the whole Miraculous users gain traits of their kwami over time thing.
This backstory was gorgeous, along with the art itself!! at first i was just excited "holy crap callimara made master fu hot as hell" but the backstory was just so beautiful and well thought out i literally shed a tear when he died... the vulnerability and regret he had to suffer was horrible but it made his character that much more relatable. this has seriously gotta be one of your best rewrites yet!!! thank you for a beautifully rewritten miraculous callimara!! cant wait for the next episode :D
Is it just me, or does Calli’s version of Master Fu looked like a GILFED up version of human Garmadon from Lego Ninjago? I can’t be the only one seeing it right? 😂😂😂
Calli, I've never commented on a video of yours before but I'm such an avid lover of your work on Wildward and your Miraculous Rewrites, which is how I found you. Something about your tone and content makes me want to cuddle up by a warm fire with a cup of Chai tea. I've always found your voice so lovely and grounding, and find myself revisiting your videos when I'm just having a rough day. All of this to say: thank you for being you, and for doing all of this excellent work. Stay safe, to you and anyone reading this ❤
I'm sorry, but I'm just LIVING for how exasperated you sound over Master Fu's idiocy throughout the video. XD It's a past time of mine to listen to youtubers rant about things they're passionate about, positive or negative. Great video! And I can't wait to see what other rewrites you do for Miraculous Ladybug (why are you not one of the show's writers lol). I am also eagerly waiting for the next Wildward video. (Calling it, next two aegis users that are in the lineup are a songbird and a wolf)
Okay, finished the video and once again: BRILLIANT! Seriously, someone should give you the MLB rights. Just give it to you so you can fix it and make it what it should have been/was hinted at in that initial 2D trailer.
You did an amazing job I know I’m dead wrong but throughout the whole entire speed paint I was just looking at his caked up butt😭💀 like I just couldn’t look away himbo got me hooked
And another thing Randy Cunningham 9th grade ninja got right, Randy did get a mentor in the form of the sentient centuries-old book, sound familiar? Tikki and Plagg could have become their mentors (Tikki anyway, Plagg would just half-ass his lessons) and try and teach new techniques and tricks (like Chat Noir suddenly having an umbrella being a thing he learns) even just training in combat that would help them not become living punching bags.
I think the most important part of the original master Fu is that he was supposed to be a failure of a guardian and mentor, but it was just conveyed horribly. Kinda like our MC's problematic tendencies...
That's how you portray the Murim old men. 👏 nice one Calli. Also what you did there, I feel so much for your rage and how you rewrote his character. It kinda hurts how real it felt the way you showed his struggles of self-hatred and loathing to the miracle box and the many times he had failed. That to me was the kicker when you killed him in such a way.
I love your work so much. Your redesigns, your Wildward series, and your rewrites are all so intruiging and beautiful. I clicked this video as soon as I noticed the notification, and I know it's gonna be amazing. 💕💕
Holy Frigg your rewrites are so good I actually got emotional when he died. In the show, I couldn't care less with the plot, but this is freaking amazing!
Mans looking like a more chill version of Fukuzawa from bsd and I love it! I also really like the idea of him becoming a father figure to Adrien. Adrien, who’d most likely be devastated to learn about his death. For his character in your version, I think it could cause quite a bit of an issue. After all, losing a parent is hard, especialy when it’s happended before. Speaking of which, I think it could be really interesting for you to try doing Emilie! Love this serie!
One change for the design. I think the chains of a locket should be visible around his neck or on one of his pockets, and the locket of course be hidden in his shirt or pocket.
*spoliers for the video* if this is an actual series, and it had a full fandom filled with awesome people, the reaction to his death would be like: NOOOOO NOT THE GILF NOOOOOO oh the amount of sad edits there would be
Just saw the video and people here in the comments already said just how freaking amazing your writing is Calli, so, I think I must say that I'd totally let him step on me goddamn what an amazing design- Totally didn't die for a moment there-
I agree with you on Master Fu’s awfulness and that’s why (in my personal headcanon) I purposely recreated him to be Nino’s mentor instead (cause you know they share the same miraculous) so that the main characters deal with each other instead of shoving the soulmate trope in it. Also I approve of the gilf Fu 😂
I AGREE!!! I think it would have been better to erase his mind earlier and make Marinette the one to figure out the recipes or making Fu partially figures the recipe earlier and Marinette have to figures out the rest by herself but eventually get help from Alia which Marinette reveal herself to not long after Master Fu lost his memories.
As least Pink Diamond didn’t think the other Diamond’s would come back to Earth after 5000s years. She probably just thought that Steven would just help the other Crystal gems in battle after a decent amount of training from the others
He’s also the reason why the entire order of Guardians were killed when he was younger. Got hungry and the Order was killed. 🤦🏻♀️ And then retired and gave the box to the ultimate pick me girl. 🤦🏻♀️
This was a delight. I appreciate how the original storyline of the miraculous master was given more depth. I think it would be interesting if Marinette chooses Nino as holder of the turtle miraculous based on the things she sees in him character wise. Adrian could choose Alya based on the character qualities that he sees in her. This is so the friendship bias won't cloud their judgment on that choice. I'm open for suggestions that suggest otherwise, or new ideas in general.
Wait… I see a problem here. How can there be a sentimonster if you rewrote the Peacock’s power? Just noticed that and thought “wait a minute…” Other than that, great video, loved the rewrite!😍
Another great video with an amazing redesign of both his civilian and hero forms. While I do always love the mentor characters in shows, Fu just didn't work well due to bad writers at the helm. I also wonder how most people tend to kill off the mentor figures. I get that it forces the student(s) to finally try and do things on their own. But it also can be dangerous depending on how much they've been trained (or lack there of). I'm trying to write my own superhero story and I have to say, writing a hero genre story isn't easy! I'm constantly writing. Second guessing. And researching historical events in our world to ensure certain characters backstories line up with historical events.
Okay rewatching this made me think: it'd make so much more sense for him to die and have the kwamis find new owners while he's still technically breathing that way the explanation would be "we as the kwamis must get new owners before Fu dies otherwise we'll be trapped in a box with NO guardian or owner to replace him" Idk. Just a thought. It'd provide an explanation of why they reluctantly had to choose teenagers. It'd be because the kwamis are on a time crunch. (I'm pretty sure that as long as there's an active guardian, the kwamis CAN roam around freely but they choose not to around Fu since he was working when we meet him)
I'm commenting before watching the video, but i fr think that the miraculous's being passed down by bloodline or them being picked by destiny, aside from an old man, would have made so much more sense
The thing I most hate in fu is his past. It had SO MUCH potential, maybe to even justify some of his stupid actions, even if it’s just a few... but his story is just SO disappointing. I was really thinking about something truly epic like IDC, a war that started (when fu was already an adult) because of mentality differences inside the temple. Something that was BIG, and not stupid in this level. It was such an waste of good drawings what they did (because I really LOVE the drawings from his past!! I love the style and watercolourish looks. I’d watch a whole episode in this style)
11:50 While he does fight Hawkmoth, that was a do or die situation. If he didn’t transform then, he would be killed and the miraculous would be lost. But it’s shown to be very painful for him, so it likely wouldn’t be sustainable. I mean, his power was already fading during the battle. There’s no excuse for anything else he does though. Well, maybe a bit of leniency for whole accidentally-creating-Feast thing, given that he was like 8 so he probably didn’t think about any possible consequences. But nothing else. He’s such a terribly written character. Also, sidenote, I LOVE the music choices this episode.
13:59 K I agree with your points so far but I do have to point out in his defense that he was a kid at the time And if marionette and Adrien can make stupid descisions as kids , he can too. Not to say he should have and it definitely had more severe consequences- But I think this should be taken into consideration
true, but even then he had more training and knowledge than Marionette and Adrien ever did, since he was raised and trained by the guardians all his life
Aaaaaa I completely forgot I changed the Peacock Miraculous power!! But I did think of an idea for how I can reconcile it. Basically, the Peacock Miraculous' power WAS to create sentimonsters, but the incident at the Guardian Temple deeply traumatized Duusu (hence why the Miraculous 'broke') and changed the Miraculous' power.

And even explain why Fu got in the ambush cuz he didn't know the peacock power changed, or if he did would think the sentimonster was gone, so he assumed it wasn't being used but the same miraculous that was in his mistakes was there and even changed for his downfall
I really like that, actually. Come to think of it, that works really well with my headcanon that originally, the Butterfly was the one to be damaged, but Duusu took the damage herself to save Nooroo. Since the Butterfly’s power is to give other people powers, it would make sense that Duusu taking Nooroo’s damage would change her own Miraculous’s power.
So is that also how the bee's power changed from venom to the spying power you gave it?
Absolutely obsessed with the fact that your first desision was "imma make him hot."

1 episode give or take

I absolutely loved the story you did for fu, I was almost tearing up cause of how much more of a person you made him, he feels like the opposite of adrian in a way (& not because of comparing him with marian to them), him feeling like a failure is amazing since in the show he is the reason for all the bad stuff from the beginning, but here he just runs away from his problems, the add on of the mask was honestly genius cause it can also be shown as him still running away, covering/hiding his face away from others even when trying to help to little to late, & that ending when he finds out marinette is actually a little kid is beautiful, realizing he put all this pressure on her rather than just handing her the miraculous cause why not, I actually felt emotion when he was gone here than in the series, his final moments could be taken as, "I'm not running from my past anymore"
To add on - I can't even blame him too much considering yes, he also never asked to be one of the keepers. I'm assuming Calli's using the same backstory of when he had to train like the monks in which they subjected a child to take over incredibly important artifacts as a way to practice discipline (which to me is honestly just as irresponsible), so while it doesn't justify all his actions, I can definitely see why he became like this due to that sort of childhood. I can also see why he rather be immature since he never had a proper childhood - Of course he wants to indulge in a fantasy, since the reality of his previous environment didn't let him be a kid every once in a while.
Which is also why I love the addition of Marianne - That's when his past is no longer an excuse, and that's when we, and he himself, have started realizing that it wasn't all just the past that made him this selfish and uncaring.
He's like a Jojo character who practiced Hamon!
Oh my gosh he’s like baron zeppelli
@@Clem_momo AND HE LOOKS LIKE JOSEPH JOESTAR
@@ballcockfiend HE DOES
I was just about to say he looks like joseph
I like to imagine users of the turtle miraculous live longer, because the whole "turtle immortality" thing and I love the whole Miraculous users gain traits of their kwami over time thing.
I forgot that Master Fu existed. Yeah I know that whatever you do, it will be better than his actual character.
the fact that multiple people felt the need to make rewrites and redesigns of almost every character in MLB is just… wow.
This backstory was gorgeous, along with the art itself!! at first i was just excited "holy crap callimara made master fu hot as hell" but the backstory was just so beautiful and well thought out i literally shed a tear when he died... the vulnerability and regret he had to suffer was horrible but it made his character that much more relatable. this has seriously gotta be one of your best rewrites yet!!! thank you for a beautifully rewritten miraculous callimara!! cant wait for the next episode :D
thank you so much! 💕💕
i always hated that he was too old to be a miraculous holder... like bro it enhances your everything
Is it just me, or does Calli’s version of Master Fu looked like a GILFED up version of human Garmadon from Lego Ninjago? I can’t be the only one seeing it right? 😂😂😂
Calli, I've never commented on a video of yours before but I'm such an avid lover of your work on Wildward and your Miraculous Rewrites, which is how I found you. Something about your tone and content makes me want to cuddle up by a warm fire with a cup of Chai tea. I've always found your voice so lovely and grounding, and find myself revisiting your videos when I'm just having a rough day. All of this to say: thank you for being you, and for doing all of this excellent work. Stay safe, to you and anyone reading this ❤
Chai not chai tea 💀💀
Same here man.
thank you so much! that's very kind of you 💕🥺
I'm sorry, but I'm just LIVING for how exasperated you sound over Master Fu's idiocy throughout the video. XD It's a past time of mine to listen to youtubers rant about things they're passionate about, positive or negative. Great video! And I can't wait to see what other rewrites you do for Miraculous Ladybug (why are you not one of the show's writers lol). I am also eagerly waiting for the next Wildward video. (Calling it, next two aegis users that are in the lineup are a songbird and a wolf)
WHY IS HE SO HOT?!
Seriously though, I just LOVE what you did for his rewrite and words are missing right now to describe how I feel about it.
someone please get this girl a team to make the rewrite, holy shit. also HOT GRANDPA
No
@@tonirmspicer no 😥😥??
Okay, finished the video and once again: BRILLIANT! Seriously, someone should give you the MLB rights. Just give it to you so you can fix it and make it what it should have been/was hinted at in that initial 2D trailer.
You did an amazing job I know I’m dead wrong but throughout the whole entire speed paint I was just looking at his caked up butt😭💀 like I just couldn’t look away himbo got me hooked
nobody can resist cake 🎂
Someone get Cyrus the Great, someone made an actually *good* Master Fu! I actually felt sad for Fu hearing your rewrite, you did amazingly!
Mhm!
thank you!!
Calli:
I hate this man with every inch of my body.
Also Calli:
Alright and for his redesign im going to make him a hot gilf no questions ask.
Your art and absolute creative ideas are so interesting and inspiring! Your art has improved so much, I am so happy I discovered your channel. 😁
thank you so much! I'm really happy to hear this 🥰
As a bisexual, PLEASE give me the simpable character art. I'll try to pitch in my own art for Starbourne.
And another thing Randy Cunningham 9th grade ninja got right, Randy did get a mentor in the form of the sentient centuries-old book, sound familiar? Tikki and Plagg could have become their mentors (Tikki anyway, Plagg would just half-ass his lessons) and try and teach new techniques and tricks (like Chat Noir suddenly having an umbrella being a thing he learns) even just training in combat that would help them not become living punching bags.
So true 😁
I'm so happy to hear that classic: HEEELLO! from every video
I really, really loved this design. Might make fanart even
This Master Fu gives me Gandalf and Dumbledore vibes
I got webs from wof and the alolan professor oak!
Or Mr. Miyagi vibes.
Your Master Fu was the best redesigning/redrawing seen ever for me. Congratulations.
thank you!! :D
Oh please, at least Pink Dimond was participating in the war.
Oh my! Master Fu made Pink Dimond look better!
I think the most important part of the original master Fu is that he was supposed to be a failure of a guardian and mentor, but it was just conveyed horribly. Kinda like our MC's problematic tendencies...
I love it when calimara gets really mad about the bad writing of a character, I find it so funny 😂
I’m crying now because it’s just that amazing
"I'm gonna make him hot" YAAAAAAS!! YOU KNOW WHAT WE WAAAAANT!!!
😌💅
4:26 OMG DUDE YOU ARE SO RELATABLE I CANT
Lmao they way you say *"KILL HIM"* is so funny 🤣🤣
Master Fu's redesign looks like an old surfer dude
That's how you portray the Murim old men. 👏 nice one Calli.
Also what you did there, I feel so much for your rage and how you rewrote his character. It kinda hurts how real it felt the way you showed his struggles of self-hatred and loathing to the miracle box and the many times he had failed. That to me was the kicker when you killed him in such a way.
I love your work so much. Your redesigns, your Wildward series, and your rewrites are all so intruiging and beautiful. I clicked this video as soon as I noticed the notification, and I know it's gonna be amazing. 💕💕
thank you!! 🥺💕
oh goodness the redesign is so good
like. he would be my fave if he looked like that -
The three minute rant at the begining is worth the like alone.
I feel like this rewrite is a lot better than master Fu's actual character arc
He absolutely must disguise himself a feeble old man sometimes a la Granada's Sherlock Holmes in the Return.
Holy Frigg your rewrites are so good I actually got emotional when he died. In the show, I couldn't care less with the plot, but this is freaking amazing!
Mans looking like a more chill version of Fukuzawa from bsd and I love it!
I also really like the idea of him becoming a father figure to Adrien. Adrien, who’d most likely be devastated to learn about his death. For his character in your version, I think it could cause quite a bit of an issue. After all, losing a parent is hard, especialy when it’s happended before. Speaking of which, I think it could be really interesting for you to try doing Emilie! Love this serie!
One change for the design. I think the chains of a locket should be visible around his neck or on one of his pockets, and the locket of course be hidden in his shirt or pocket.
*spoliers for the video*
if this is an actual series, and it had a full fandom filled with awesome people, the reaction to his death would be like: NOOOOO NOT THE GILF NOOOOOO
oh the amount of sad edits there would be
Just saw the video and people here in the comments already said just how freaking amazing your writing is Calli, so, I think I must say that I'd totally let him step on me goddamn what an amazing design- Totally didn't die for a moment there-
I have no words...this was beautiful and that story was wonderfully written, it brought me to tears.
I agree with you on Master Fu’s awfulness and that’s why (in my personal headcanon) I purposely recreated him to be Nino’s mentor instead (cause you know they share the same miraculous) so that the main characters deal with each other instead of shoving the soulmate trope in it.
Also I approve of the gilf Fu 😂
"So if you want a quick answer as to how I would fix this character?"
**long pause**
"KILL HIM"
Pls this is iconic
Great you made him look like a Gilf, in a good way
I AGREE!!! I think it would have been better to erase his mind earlier and make Marinette the one to figure out the recipes or making Fu partially figures the recipe earlier and Marinette have to figures out the rest by herself but eventually get help from Alia which Marinette reveal herself to not long after Master Fu lost his memories.
"Are you pink diamond?"
_I choked on my water_
As least Pink Diamond didn’t think the other Diamond’s would come back to Earth after 5000s years. She probably just thought that Steven would just help the other Crystal gems in battle after a decent amount of training from the others
He’s also the reason why the entire order of Guardians were killed when he was younger. Got hungry and the Order was killed. 🤦🏻♀️ And then retired and gave the box to the ultimate pick me girl. 🤦🏻♀️
Master Fu is so good in your version and the way you describe his personality, he would probably be my favorite character, wth
Could you please do Bunix next? And rewrite her power like you did with the peacock Miraculous?
This was a delight. I appreciate how the original storyline of the miraculous master was given more depth. I think it would be interesting if Marinette chooses Nino as holder of the turtle miraculous based on the things she sees in him character wise. Adrian could choose Alya based on the character qualities that he sees in her. This is so the friendship bias won't cloud their judgment on that choice. I'm open for suggestions that suggest otherwise, or new ideas in general.
Wait… I see a problem here. How can there be a sentimonster if you rewrote the Peacock’s power? Just noticed that and thought “wait a minute…”
Other than that, great video, loved the rewrite!😍
"ARE YOU PINK DIAMOND? HMM?" im dead oml
Another great video with an amazing redesign of both his civilian and hero forms. While I do always love the mentor characters in shows, Fu just didn't work well due to bad writers at the helm. I also wonder how most people tend to kill off the mentor figures. I get that it forces the student(s) to finally try and do things on their own. But it also can be dangerous depending on how much they've been trained (or lack there of). I'm trying to write my own superhero story and I have to say, writing a hero genre story isn't easy! I'm constantly writing. Second guessing. And researching historical events in our world to ensure certain characters backstories line up with historical events.
Is he a baker in your timeline because he got CAKE 🍰
Okay, I cried
Thank you for making this amazing video
Your Miraculous is my only canon Miraculous 😭😭😭
not you making such a hot character then killing him off 💀💀
Ngl why does callimaras version of master fu look hot 😨
Not me legitimately sobbing from the rewrite😭😭😭😭
Wonderful as always. I can’t get enough of your content! ❤
This made me cry😭😭😭😭
Is that what good writing feels like?
12:50 “Are you Pink Diamond!?!” KILLED ME LMFAO
You made me cry! Good job hun!! I mean that! Its talent to pull out real emotions like that!
This is gonna be a good one, I can tell because of the title
"he went from mid to✨ ZADDY✨"
-koleen
Okay rewatching this made me think: it'd make so much more sense for him to die and have the kwamis find new owners while he's still technically breathing that way the explanation would be "we as the kwamis must get new owners before Fu dies otherwise we'll be trapped in a box with NO guardian or owner to replace him"
Idk. Just a thought. It'd provide an explanation of why they reluctantly had to choose teenagers. It'd be because the kwamis are on a time crunch. (I'm pretty sure that as long as there's an active guardian, the kwamis CAN roam around freely but they choose not to around Fu since he was working when we meet him)
I'm commenting before watching the video, but i fr think that the miraculous's being passed down by bloodline or them being picked by destiny, aside from an old man, would have made so much more sense
The thing I most hate in fu is his past. It had SO MUCH potential, maybe to even justify some of his stupid actions, even if it’s just a few... but his story is just SO disappointing. I was really thinking about something truly epic like IDC, a war that started (when fu was already an adult) because of mentality differences inside the temple. Something that was BIG, and not stupid in this level. It was such an waste of good drawings what they did (because I really LOVE the drawings from his past!! I love the style and watercolourish looks. I’d watch a whole episode in this style)
I’m having a really bad day, but I got really exited when I saw that you uploaded. Thanks for distracting me from my struggles!
you can make his mask a beak, it's a turtle after all
He is not that bad of a character though like if you ignore the bad writing of show he is good 🐢
11:50 While he does fight Hawkmoth, that was a do or die situation. If he didn’t transform then, he would be killed and the miraculous would be lost. But it’s shown to be very painful for him, so it likely wouldn’t be sustainable. I mean, his power was already fading during the battle.
There’s no excuse for anything else he does though. Well, maybe a bit of leniency for whole accidentally-creating-Feast thing, given that he was like 8 so he probably didn’t think about any possible consequences. But nothing else. He’s such a terribly written character.
Also, sidenote, I LOVE the music choices this episode.
Me immediately after seeing the hair and wrinkles: oh my god it’s fukuzawa yukichi from the hit anime bungou stray dogs
He went from a master Miagi knock off to wow!!! I really love your redesigns and rewrites! Please keep them coming.
YOU COULD HAVE MADE HIM A DILF A SILVER FOX TYPE OF MAN love the design though it’s so good and I love the story you made for him 💕
13:59
K I agree with your points so far but I do have to point out in his defense that he was a kid at the time
And if marionette and Adrien can make stupid descisions as kids , he can too.
Not to say he should have and it definitely had more severe consequences-
But I think this should be taken into consideration
No wonder why he thought it was normal to trust magical enchanted super-powered jewelry with children
true, but even then he had more training and knowledge than Marionette and Adrien ever did, since he was raised and trained by the guardians all his life
This is way, WAAAAY better than what we actually have. Extra points because he's hot
Me crying over this after 10 months you posted it
OMG WHAT I WOULD DO FOR THIS VERSION OF MIRACULOUS
NOT THE PINK DIAMOND REFRENCE😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
To be fair, he was a kid when he made the sentimonster 😭 but yeah, they couldve done much better with the backstory
He looks a bit like Fukuzawa from Bungou Stray Dogs, it looks really cool!!
"Are you Pink Diamond?" BUUUUUURN
