Talk:Luka Couffaine/@comment-7117024-20181108015118

Wilfried Pain posted a couple of Twitter comments related to Luka, the first one in-show and the other one silly fun. When someone asked him when Luka started to have feelings for Marinette, Wilfried responded, "He had love at first sight in "Cpt Hardrock" when they first meet each other." That's pretty sweet! Personally, I wish Luka felt more like a character with flaws and not just an unnaturally even-level person, but I still appreciate the purpose of showing Marinette liking boys beyond Adrien, and I like that this makes it clear that Luka is genuinely attracted to Marinette. He's not a bad character, and I hope he can get more development, including an akumatization episode if possible, to fill him in more.

The second comment was a response to someone posting a paper stating "Lukloe," a ship name for Luka and Chloé. His reply was "Luka and Chloe hum ? That's intriguing :)" That could mean absolutely nothing, but I admit, with more positive character development with Chloé, I'm really open to the pairing, considering it's pretty obvious Marinette's not going to end up with Luka. I guess since Nathaniel's got better options at this point in Marc and Alix, it's not hard for be to jump off that train. I dunno, I just really like the sweet, funny, and ironic idea of Marinette's first main love rival (somewhat frienemy now) ending up with Marinette's second love interest. However, Luka would probably be cute with anyone else outside of Marinette, like Sabrina — she deserves some good relationships in her life beyond a slowly-improving Chloé — Kagami, or another character.

Wilfried may have meant that as nothing, but if that ends up actually happening, I'm excited. I think I've somehow jumped from shipping Chloé and Nathaniel to Chloé and Luka. I appreciate how nonsensical non-canon shipping can be at times, including when it doesn't feel like I have to take it seriously. XD
