Miraculous: Ladybug & Cat Noir ending explained
Marinette and Adrien meet in a library where he shares his backstory with her and reveals how his mother died, leaving his father Gabriel in charge. After receiving the powers of the Kwami of Creation and the Kwami of Destruction, Marinette and Adrien meet as Ladybug and Cat Noir but are unaware of who the other truly is despite becoming good friends.
Marinette falls for Adrien while Cat Noir falls for Ladybug, unaware that she is his friend Marinette in her superhero avatar. Adrien's father Gabriel has been unable to deal with his wife's death and wants to bring her back to life. He decides to use the powers of Miraculous and becomes Hawk Moth. Gabriel sends villains to destroy Paris which leads to Ladybug and Cat Noir joining hands to save their city. They fight against every goon to protect Paris.
In the final battle Hawk Moth wants the remaining two Miraculous gems and destroys Paris, including the Eiffel Tower. Ladybug loses her gem, and Cat Noir gets injured. When Hawk Moth realizes that Cat Noir is his son, Adrien, he is left shocked. He comes to his senses as Gabriel and realizes how he was endangering his son in hopes of bringing back his wife who is already gone. Marinette regains her powers and gives a powerful speech to the citizens.
The city is restored and Marinette and Adrien discover who they truly are. After realizing they are Ladybug and Cat Noir, the two share a kiss. The film doesn't end right because there's a cliffhanger ending right next. The last scene in the animated film shows a room inside Gabriel's mansion where his wife lies. It could be a potential hint about him bringing his wife back to life but what actually happened remains unclear.
