Bullet Train: Ladybug, the Unluckiest…Or is He???

Okay, so I just finished watching Bullet Train and WOW. My brain is still trying to untangle itself. That movie was like a hyperactive squirrel hopped up on Red Bull. But here's the thing that's been bugging me (pun intended, sorry not sorry): Ladybug. He's supposed to be unlucky, right? That's the whole joke. But what if... he's actually INCREDIBLY lucky? Like, cosmically so? Hear me out. Think about it. Every single time something goes wrong for him, it somehow works out in his favor, or at least, prevents something even WORSE from happening. He's constantly stumbling into chaos, but he ALWAYS gets out, usually in a better position than he started. The Tangerine/Lemon twins think he's screwing things up, The Prince is trying to manipulate him, everyone's trying to kill him, but he somehow bumbles his way through it all. Like when he accidentally pushes that dude off the train instead of just taking the briefcase? Yeah, terrible luck for that one guy, but ultimately it leads to the pieces falling into place (albeit in a really messy way). Maybe that 'unluck' IS his luck. Like, fate is actively trying to protect him by throwing chaos his way. It's like God (or whatever cosmic force is in charge) knows that if Ladybug just did things the 'normal' way, everything would fall apart even more spectacularly. It's like, the universe is yelling, 'NO, LADYBUG, YOU HAVE TO SCREW THIS UP IN ORDER TO FIX IT!' Is it a perfect theory? Nah, probably not. The White Death's whole revenge plot throws kind of a wrench in it. But I think there's something there, something more than just slapstick comedy. I dunno, maybe I'm just overthinking things because it's 3 AM and I've had 3 cups of coffee. But I think Brad Pitt's character isn't just unlucky, he's some kind of chaotic good force of nature and the universe is just trying to keep him alive. What do you guys think? Am I crazy? Let me know!
