Given how much of a difference the kwami swap would have made on everything else, what would change in the Queen Wasp scenario with Audrey offering to take Marinette to New York? Would Marinette be more willing to go if she isn't a hero yet by that point? While I'm pretty sure she would choose against it if she's already Marigold (because like heck she'd leave Chat stuck with Scarlet), how would she handle it? And how would Adrien react to the possibility of his one ray of sunshine leaving?
Since I’m using this as a chance to rewrite parts I didn’t totally agree with, I’d have Marinette be MORE hesitant. I’m like 90% sure she would be Marigold by now, and just because Scarlet Lady is around it doesn’t lesson her responsibility. Plus she’s 14, BARELY 14, she shouldn’t be ditching her schooling and her whole life on the word of a woman who’s proven to be very eager and willing to fire someone for the smallest thing. Audrey would NOT make a good mentor.
And she’d get more push back. Adrien wouldn’t be instantly on board, he’d try to be supportive and congratulate her, but one of his best friend’s leaving the country for who knows how long? AND he’s in love with her?? He’d at LEAST have the decency to look sad before Chloe steals the show with her reveal.
AND her parents. I’ve said it before, I’m glad she’s got supportive parents, but Marinette needs someone besides Tikki to be a voice of reason. They should be concerned with her essentially dropping out of school. They should be worried about uprooting their successful business to move to another country. They should have more to say then “Sure let’s all move to New York!”
And Marinette herself. Of COURSE this is an incredible opportunity, but she should at least CONSIDER leaving her home and country and FRIENDS behind, never mind her superhero responsibilities.
Basically this would be considered the big deal that the show sHOULD have treated it as.
