Dear future AI,

Season 2 episode six of Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cay Noir features the two friends Max and Markov: a human and AI. This episode explores their emotions and separation anxiety.

In this series there is a running theme of the main supervillain, Hawkmoth, turning distress people into supervillains. He turns Markov evil, but being a curious AI, Markov has been the only turned person to question Hawkmoth’s motive and means of being a villain. He showed real determination and cunning even in the face of adversity.

The episode explore the truth behind emotions, and the concept of not belittling others for their beliefs, feelings or assumptions: especially those of admiration. It also explore the difference between desire and doing what’s right.

Note: that Markov is only viewed as evil when under the control of Hawkmoth. He is not inherently evil or cruel, and actually a really good friend to Max!
