* RealityWarpingIsNotAToy: Making a Wish on the combined Miraculi of Creation and Destruction completely rewrites reality in order to grant it. This is why Marinette refuses to even ''consider'' making one herself... but Alya dismisses the dangers as no big deal, assuming ''her'' Wish will give her ''exactly'' what she needs to stop Hawkmoth once and for all.

* SimpleSolutionWontWork: Played for drama and horror. The whole plot happens because Ayla Cesaire decides, out of the blue, that the best way to finally discover who Hawk Moth is once and for all is to utilize the Wish that is granted to those who have both the Cat and Ladybug Miraculouses [[MundaneUtility to obtain the information]]. She was told that RealityWarpingIsNotAToy, but insists [[KnowNothingKnowItAll in her mind]] that such a simple wish should make for a low chance of backlash, and goes for it anyway. What makes this a horrific example is that in [[ATragedyOfImpulsiveness her impulsive desire to apply said "simple solution"]] she [[NoSympathy casually dismisses]] [[spoiler:betraying her best friends to steal the Miraculouses, which leads to Adrien getting Akumatized and to him ''murdering'' Marinette, which will lead to the Kwami [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor making sure Ayla gets a huge karmic backfire as revenge]].]]

After all, it's not like that could ''possibly'' backfire, right? Surely the only reason ''Marinette'' hasn't done that already is because she simply didn't think of it. Good thing she's got a friend like Alya watching her back, ready to step in and save the day with her insight!

But wait... why is she resisting? Why is she so upset...? Why's she acting like this is a ''horrible'' idea? Well, no matter; all she has to do is get the Earrings, make her Wish, and ''prove'' she's right?

Right...?
