... The way i know these alternate versions of Adrien and Marinette are going to have a healthier relationship than the originals, but theyre gonna try framing it as a bad thing because they're "EEEVIL."

They're going to have open and honest communication with each other [since it looks like they're still choosing to work together as a team] and Claw Noir is gonna display some form of agency in his actions but the writers will be like "NO, this isnt good! Adrien can't have any agency of his own because he's too emotional and he exists just to be a pretty prize Marinette wins after defeating the villain."

#ml special #this show is so fucking funny bc it expects you to see it as a character driven story but its entirely protagonist-centric #when it comes to its morals and story structure #also it believes every teenage girl who doesnt like Marinette is an irredeemable monster but a man who terrorizes an entire city #and his family is capable of being redeemed. It is insane how this show tries to push itself as progressive but it's riddled with #misogyny. Treating Adrien like every single female love interest that has ever existed in action cartoons isnt progressive #idk why ppl think it is lol. The show is basically saying Adriens “girly” qualities are a problem and the reason why he has no agency #in his own story #like it immediately made me think about how women are denied humanity because men claim we are too emotional to make #rational choices for ourselves or others like they can #Also I cant believe Gabriel was able to go to heaven with his wife despite all the child abuse and terrorism.
