#also idk if youve peeked thru the bible leaks but from the non spoiler info in it... the word perfect is used repeatedly to describe adrien

It honestly makes me question if Astruc really likes Adrien as much he claims to. Like yes, they have Adrien face no consequences for his actions, but now I' m wondering if it's less of a case of "He think he's perfect" and more a case of "He's jealous of Adrien and is trying to make everyone hate him"

I'd have to (politely) disagree on this, anon. Because if it really was the case that the showrunners wanted you to hate Adrien, then they've completely failed in that regard, as the majority of the fandom likes him. (It's why I decided to run this type of blog on Tumblr, since I feel like I'd get crucified on any other site for speaking negatively about Adrien)

I also feel like there's canon evidence that disproves this take. For example, let's look at the episode Felix, where we are introduced to the titular character. The episode goes on and on showing Felix to be spiteful and mean, as he deletes the videos the kids sent to Adrien, puts camembert under Adrien's pillow, and as a rotten cherry on top, attempts to force a kiss onto Ladybug. In this same episode, Adrien is shown to be nicer and better in comparison like oh look how he doesn't get mad at his dad for what he's put thru (this is an awful msg but I don't want to derail my point to talk abt it), how understanding he is that hes okay with Gabriel moving on to Nathalie, and how LB says that Adrien wouldn't try to forcefully kiss her (ha. 💀). This entire episode exists to prop up Adrien, using Felix as a strawman to highlight Adrien's goodness.

Maybe you could say that guy isn't that obsessed with Adrien, but I really can't see him hating Adrien at all.
