I miss the old Hawk Moth more than I thought I would
Don't get me wrong, I really like what Lila is doing with the Butterfly Miraculous (and I know her arc is not finished yet, we're to see more of her). She's smart, calculating, patient, and doesn't seem obsessed with winning every single time.
But I really miss pre-S5 Hawk Moth. I miss Gabriel charging the akuma, giving his little speeches, sending the akuma off, interacting with the akumatized villains, giving them their names, and actually feeling like an active part of each episode.
Even when his plans were ridiculous, there was something really entertaining and strangely comforting about that whole routine.
Now that Season 6 is over, I'm rewatching the show and felt really nostalgic.
