About Adrien’s “actitud problem”
Tbh I didn’t want to come again and give my unsolicited opinion but at this point I’m Tired™ of people complaining and calling Adrien out for being upset for Ladybug’s rejection during the Frozer episode.
So let’s start by saying that yes, Ladybug has every right to reject Chat Noir but Chat Noir has every right to be upset about it too. Especially when, and don’t dare say she hasn’t, she has been sending mixed signals.
And even if he was upset and let it show, it didn’t even got in the way of their job. He was focused and it even was one of those rare episodes where his role as superhero was spotless. He wasn’t even giving her the cold shoulder either, talking civil and giving the usual fist bump.
Let the boy be upset if he needs to. He has enough of a shitty life to be represing his emotions when he’s Chat Noir too.
Besides, it’s amazing how people can only see his insecurity when he is literally asking if he is being replaced with another superhero but fail to see it when he shows said insecurity in other ways, such as being, as I’ve read people calling him, “salty”.
So, let me repeat it a little louder for the people in the back:
Chat Noir’s actitud during Frozer is a sign of his insecurity too.
But let’s address the elephant in the room, shall we? People might say that she did reject him seriously before and he insisted and got upset after the second time, so he, again, has no right to be upset.
Well, first of all, no.
Just because he’s not being the Perfect Boy™ people love to write in Fanfics where the guy is asking “is this ok?”, “Are you sure?”, “Tell me to stop if you’re uncomfortable” every five minutes, it doesn’t mean he’s being a Nice Guy™ for trying a second time before giving up.
Because he did give up after she told him no a second time and is trying to move on. And also, asking for permission for every single thing is not how relationships work in real life now that we’re at it.
But let’s suppose it is in fiction.
In that case, let’s remember that the boy has almost no social skills. Spare him the fault of not knowing. (And did I mention that he did give up and it’s trying to move on, right? Okay.)
But just for the sake of this post, let’s pretend he is being a douchebag. A spoiled brat who didn’t get his way. Let’s pretend.
Even if that was the case, then it makes me remember that one post that said “Well, yes, Karen. It’s called ‘conflict’. It’s supposed to be a problem.”
It’s the second season of (probably) six. Let the guy grow. We still have a long way to go.
That’s it. Thanks for coming to my rant Tedtalk.
