this scene was normal with no undertones at all
bonus:
The change of Shadybug and Claw Noir's costumes at the end makes so much sense, both thematically and lore-wise. The show has told us time and time again that the costumes that the characters wear are a reflection of themselves— how they feel in the moment, how they see themselves, the energy they carry. Of course their costumes would change at such a monumental moment of character growth. Of course Shadybug would want to look more like Ladybug, the version of herself that she wants to be. Of course Claw Noir would want to get rid of his spikes and look more like himself, to seem less intimidating, to let his natural hair color show. Of course they would want to change their names, to shed their association with their previous selves, where they were merely tools being used and disrespected and left to rot by the being they trusted, the being that saw them as nothing more than dispensable cogs in a machine. Of course they'd want to start fresh. This makes so much sense that there really is no alternate ending that would've worked, and if I were a writer on the special, I wouldn't change it.
that being said, FUCK their new designs claw noir and shadybug will always be claw noir and shadybug and he'll always have green hair and spikes and she'll always have space buns i don't care i don't care i don't care. adrien deserves spikes and marinette just looks so good in space buns ok i am on my knees sobbing and punching the floor
