It's never going to happen in canon, but Season 5's finale set up the perfect villain arc for Marinette.

After everything goes down, Marinette still can't get used to the idea of peace. Gabriel's statue haunts her, all her friends seem to betray her with their happiness.

So she takes Adrien's Amok and wears it, at first to reassure herself that Adrien is safe. Then, because she doesn't think it's too much of an ethical violation – "Adrien loves me already" – she starts giving him little commands that curtails him to her. Marinette notices that this means that Adrien spends less time with other people and does what she wants, and this gives her a rush of exhilaration as she is seduced by the intoxication of control.

She's doing the right thing, as the leader, as the only sensible person who knows that this serenity is not going to last, the best defence is an offence. So, she starts restricting the Miraculous, the Kwami, re-writing the rules of the Guardianship – eventually leading to her becoming a despot of Paris.

No one can stand up to her. Chat Noir is indisposed (no one knows where he is), the civilian population is, of course, helpless against Ladybug's might, and if Su-Han achieved the rank of a Celestial Guardian, it's pretty clear that any other Celestial Guardian dispatched against Ladybug will crumble before her.

This leads to Félix becoming a vigilante, the only Holder of the Miracle Box who never trusted her Miraculous with Marinette in the first place. He teams up with Lila and Chloé, both of them who bears an agenda against Ladybug. They're not battling her for virtuous reasons, but because they're her only serious opponents, thus they gain the support and love of the city.

Realising quickly that Adrien is her emotion crutch and that lifting him from Marinette's control will cause her sanity to spiral (BIG plus: Félix wants to free his cousin from another human who tries to shackle him to their hand), their first major success is wrestling Adrien's Amok from Ladybug's hand and spiriting him from her stronghold.

It is then,that the three of them realises that Adrien has been Chat Noir all this time.

And he is not happy.

(I know that Luka knows who Adrien is, but, my man, I have nothing against you but you have been consistently useless throughout the entire series and I have no doubt that sentiment will carry through even when Marinette morphs into a monstrous locomotive puffing down the road to Hell that is paved with good intentions.)

Love being the only person in my relatively-young workforce who doesn't swear. My colleagues can live exclusively off four-letter words while I have to abide by the prose of full sentences.

"She's a b***h." ❌

"She's a pretty unpleasant person because of her self-centred actions." ⭕️

No, this does not make me a better communicator; turns out people stop listening to you if you say more than eight words at once.

If you see me publishing and deleting multiple works on Ao3; no, you didn't ❤️

Chloé is officially the most fashionable Miraculous characters. No one else can hold a candle to her.

I'm playing Miraculous: Rise of the Sphnix and having the worst time of my life. This game retails for A$70. That's the same price as the Final Fantasy Remade series. Why are the graphics so bad? Why does it take so long to load? Why could they not afford new designers? Did the producer make it in a free poly-blend engine?

I take it back, this game is hilarious. Tom got transformed into a villain because of his book-keeping hell.

Sabine: We have to find this prankster who's slandering our daughter >:(

Tom: I have so much paperwork.

Hey, was anybody gonna tell me that the Matrix of Leadership was based on a fucking steering wheel

(Note, this is just me noting a similarity, I’ve seen no one admit this was intentional, which would be so fucking funny)
