So Adrien punishes himself for his mistake by giving up something that is extremely important to him and people interpret that as selfish? Inchresting....
he is used to punishment because of his father. im thinking he thought ladybug was going to ask for his miraculous so to soften the blow he did it himself. i cant blame him
the fact people REALLY called him selfish because of everything he went through... like... Sure it was a BIT dramatic to give up the importance of a miraculous BUT CONSIDERING Adrian and his relationship with his father and everthing else as a whole, you'll understand why. It's just people who want the duo to be together in the end. It's not bad to ship, but specials like this are important to give more life to the story and background. It also strengthens bonds of certain characters and that is needed, but tbh, I don't expect every one to understand since the entire show is for children.
@@Cheetahgirl_Studios like was said in the video, it was reasonable for ladybug to be what at him, she didn’t hate him like his father would do and ladybug wasent being abusive since she was being reasonable and not getting mad at him for every little thing like his father and forgave him but obviously not an abusive assole
Abby's World I was referring to S3. When she just kept replacing him and everything. Plus Reflekdoll too. Ngl S3 Ladybug SUCKED. NY Ladybug was defo better in terms of how her character was handled, so I’m hoping we continue seeing THAT version of her and that S3 LB becomes a very bad memory of the past.
I remember watching this show around when i was 10 like in 2016 now im turning 15 this year. I never actually knew I'd still watch this show at this age since this was technically a "children's show". Often times id hide the fact that i love this show bc it was a supposedly "cringey" in my age group. Little did i know a lotta ppl of my age actually watch this show, like a LOT. My brother's 18 and he enjoys mlb too! Tbh, i wish they could more mature themes and be realistic even though some children still watch it. At the same time, children could at least get a grasp what the world is actually is!
Adrien calls Marinette a friend because, other than Chloe, she was his first friend he made at school. He really treasures their friendship. In the umbrella scene you can see how happy Adrien was to befriend Marinette. ALSO! The umbrella that Adrien gave Marinette looks exactly like the one his mother had, so if that was his mother’s umbrella that he gave Marinette so freely, that would mean that he really likes her. Even if he does have feelings for Marinette, or not, he doesn’t want that to ruin one of his treasured friendships.
Adrien acts EXACTLY like someone who’s been emotionally abused would act: he is fearful of upsetting the people in his life because upsetting his father, even over something petty and insignificant, always leads to excessively harsh consequences. He’s had little to no social interactions outside of his abusive father, and thanks to Gabriel’s cold demeanor, Adrien has been left to interpret others’ feelings on his own. But other people don’t act like Gabriel, which is how we get the situations where Adrien misreads a situation; his mind goes straight to the worst case scenario because THAT’S HOW GABRIEL WOULD ACT.
Exactly! I think that’s why I personally love Adrien/Chat as a character much more than Marinette/Ladybug. What you described I think perfectly describes his experiences and actions. As someone who also went through emotional abuse to some extent, I can testify. A bit different from Adrien but my mother would have unpredictable moods. Sometimes if I do something wrong, she can be kind or mean. When she is angry at me, she’d punish me in many ways, lowering my curfew which is difficult cause of my insomnia, take my phone which is one of the few sources of happiness I have, threaten to hit me if I do something wrong, all of that. It has made me become extremely fearful of getting her mad because she’d yell at me and if I cry, she’d say it’s my fault. It’s just like Adrien’s perspective of things and I think despite how jumbled the characters are in Miraculous, Adrien’s character has felt the best written in terms of abuse and his reactions towards it.
@SarahGL0102 They two r best Marinette is awesome funny girl And the story of Adrien it’s so sad But He a awesome guy Without them miraculous ladybug is Incomplete So love them if u like miraculous
Plagg needs to tell him to take a day off for himself. Plagg would be that brother who's like look I know you want to make sure you get everything done. But you need a break.
Literally. I wish the writers would adress his abuse and depression so that he can get better but the writers might not even notice the way they write him
@@ot7biasedmashups The writers so far seem to focus on Marrinete and her only. She's always the main focus, which I get as the main character, but Adrian's story especially his family life is rarely featured. It really gets to me.
@@ot7biasedmashups for real we barely see any sympathy in the Fandom or the actual show. And when we do its just because people are sad he can't go some where
He is a 14/15 year old *boy* who throughout his life has been emotionally abused by his father. Man's had a breakdown ima throw hands if someone calls himself selfish or god forbid *mANIPULATIVE* WHAT
@@vivi1387 13:18 the narrator says does it make him selfish and manipulative meaning they must've seen it around, I dont interact with the fandom so I'm taking their word and just agreeing
They really could have portrayed him better. He literally has a mother who passed away. And has communication issue with his father. Sure he seems silly as Cat Noir but still that doesn't mean he isn't going through some things
@@switch9045 I’m afraid that’s not going to happen due to the writers just giving Marinette character development and Alya is pretty much replacing him in season 4 honestly what is the point of having chat noir if the writers are not going to include him a lot and this has been happening since season 2 only now people are really just seeing it
@@huthifaali5379 I don’t think you understand that the replacing him is adding to his character development. Sentibubbler is definitely showing that off and it’s only gonna get even crazier.
>People get mad at Adrien for friendzoning Marinette over Ladybug >Marinette friendzones Chat Noir practically every akuma attack for Adrien The double standard is real
We aren't mad just both characters are flawed and it's more obvious in Adrien's case because he's always hanging around Marinette and also flirts with her as Chat Noir. Whereas with Ladybug I understand why she rejects him now of all times because he doesn't understand how hard her job is and makes fun of her for it.
@Quiet Opinion Cat noir flirts with everyone,not just Mari.Its a part of his personality,he's flirty.He calls Mari friend because Marinette called him friend too and she didn't confess his feelings for him,if he knew she liked him then he wouldn't consider her as a "friend".
@@kiaorihara4005 There was literally a reply _right_ above, how could you mess up this bad? Well, unsurprising seeing the quote you're using was popularized by tiktok and you're agreeing with easily disproven statements based on opinion.
@@quietopinion9637 Yeah, the writers gotta do more for his character though. They are treating him like a side character when Marinette/Ladybug and Adrien/Chat Noir are suppose to both be main characters
@@olamidealabi6419 nope it is exactly that. The writer literally did not make Adrien the protagonist because he thought it would be "feminism" if Marinette was the protagonist instead. His literal excuse was "why are people tripping like this? Can't girls get the chance to lead?" Like he missed the point by SO MUCH. If Ladybug had to be the protagonist, the least they could have done is make her interesting as opposed to making LITERALLY EVERY OTHER IMPORTANT SIDE CHARACTER interesting. As a writer myself, I kid you not, making the main character too interesting/have too much focus is the more common mistake as opposed to the other. And when they reflect on that they end up doing the exact opposite and end up giving the main character too little focus. A good writer would keep working at that cycle until it reaches a balance, which this guy clearly did not do.
@@mcbedo6568 I agree! Im not the best writer and I can see how its harder to write a script then a book format but omg I can think of any other way this show could've gone to fix it. Adrien is a main character and his life is part of the central plot. If Mari hadn't helped master Fu that day then she would've been just a side character. And thats not even mentioning her creepy attitude towards Adrien. He claims its "feminism" but this guy doesn't know a thing about it. Mari is my least favorite character specifically because of how she's written. A side character can be a power feminist, just because the show revolves around them doesn't make you or them a feminist.
@@EchoStarcast Well, there's a reason Nino is his best friend. Because Plagg's more than that. Same way Alya is Marinette's best friend because Tikki is more than that.
I don't blame them.... For everyone cat noir is always a cheerful guy with a sheepish smile. Except marinette who has seen his real side like when ladybug didn't come for the (kind of date) surprise
@@majedkanafani6017 *phone rings* AAH- AA @AAAAA “Pick it up Marinette!” “H-heyyyy Alya! How’s it going?!

Yea, there’s a video on someone thinking he could have borderline personality disorder but most said was when he was akumazied and most comments said that’s him having depression is more likely and I think it’s that and he obviously dosent know since his father obviously wouldn’t notice since he barely sees him and when he does and does something wrong he leaves him
Adrien calls marinette just a friend because of Chloe, chloe was showing flirty and loving signs towards him yet they are both still just friends. Marinette, showing similar signs makes Adrien - having very few proper and heartfelt relationships with other humans - think that she is just a friend. I am glad to see Adrien and Cats development for socializing and i really hope it continues in season4 and the shanghi special.
I do think there are many logical reasons why Adrien says Marinette is just a friend, but I personally don't think Chloe is one of them. I don't mean to be mean or anything, I respect your opinion. But Marinette doesn't really act openly flirty with Adrien like Chloe is, it's quite the opposite, really. She gets too nervous most times and runs away (which he sees, making him think HE is the problem because he doesn't get social cues). Marinette also often messes up her words, complimenting him but then accidentally insulting him. I don't like the idea of Adrien loving Marinette and just not acknowledging/realizing it. It always seemed forced. Like, Adrien doesn't really get a chance to talk with Marinette properly. And when they do, I doubt it's enough to develop romantic feelings. Honestly, I think it's best they both mature (Adrien learning social cues and Marinette expressing her feelings) for any romantic relationship together to last.
Imo Adriano probs thinks of her as a friend since marrenite is always pushing him away and saying how she doesn’t have those feelings for him. It’s complicated. Mariente makes me mad lol
@@fruitylooperies8166 period. You spoke only facts. That's why the whole "Adrien is blind" it's just not it. Adrien does not have social clues and when he asks Marinette what she feels for him she denies that she has romantic feelings for him. How could he understand like that? He LACKED human interaction until 13 y.o. Adrien's story is so interesting and I wish he was developed much more, because he's an interesting character and a MAIN character. Something that the writers forget often
sad thing is, this is a super smart explanation to Cat Noir being how he is, and the creators probably didn't even notice and will find a way to f*#$ it up later
Did they really called him sensitive and overreacting? It's like they don't know his freaking background! They don't understand his character and clearly don't understand empathy
Its just now after this video hitting me that when Adrien said “No one will know that I quit. And no one will care.” That’s basically him admitting that he truly does think he’s expendable when it comes to his role as Chat Noir. Shit broke my heart. I never thought much of that line until after this breakdown of his character. Baby really needs to be told he’s loved more often. If not by his shit father, then by his friends. And Marinette as Ladybug really needs to realize that Chat is more fragile than he makes himself appear. I hope that in season four, she tells him how much she appreciates him more often.
Then he really needs to open up more and understand it's hard for her too as she's also under a lot fo stress as the guardian now. Both have their stresses and not one of them is above another so they both need to open up more basically.
so uhm LMAOO it gets worse in season 4 with chat noir basically being treated like a side character rather than a protagonist to the point it borderline seems like marinette is replacing him
Gorilla who has almost no dialogue in the entire series and Nathalie who also does not have enough appearances have shown greater interest in Adrien's happiness and well-being than his own father
I agree with you about Nathalie. I don't like how people say she's horrible because of what she did in Chat Blanc, but we have to remember that it was a worse case scenario. Plus, Gabriel is her boss and Adrien is his son, so she would of had to something...she was ordered to. Nathalie seems like a pretty good character, but we never see her really care for Adrien, most likely because we're supposed to hate her no matter what (since she's a villan)
Honestly I would love to see gorilla become sort of a father figure for Adrien, since he is his bodyguard. Like he is very protective over adiren and Adrien could be better with a better father figure
@@noorishataef6477 ye if she didn't then they would've defeated him, then in that episode they'd have the butterfly miraculous, but what about the peacock? So instead of the episode not having any impact they could have the butterfly miraculous and know who hawkmoth is and then they have to fight Mayura or if Gabriel takes that miraculous, but they know his identity so then they can easily defeat him!
How are we even surprised that so many fans dismiss Adrien's issues? The writers themselves do it. Either they don't realize that Adrien has severe depression and anxiety the way they wrote him or they don't care. Thus nobody adresses it. And fans won't see it either if they don't have to deal with depression or somebody who does. Let alone the actual children and young teenagers watching.
I think season 4’s doing a better job so far of addressing rather than avoiding Adrien’s depression/emotional issues. I’m hopeful he’ll end up with a good emotional arc resolution cause he sure deserves it
Yes it was originally was supposed to be a kids show but the creators said they found out most of their audience is mostly teens so they’re gonna switch it up
I agree. He has trouble in his life. His father is doesn’t care abt him and his mother died. Why do y’all expect him to know how to express himself well? Even if he doesn’t like marinette and it’s not because he can’t express himself it is what it is you can’t force the relationship we would much rather them settle in rather then forcing the relationship
I just want an episode where ladybug and cat noir decide to hang out and tell each other about their life a bit, without telling their name. And then they talk about their family, and cat noir gets to his father and ladybug can help him and comfort him, and she can help adrien. IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK FOR??
Something Adrien salters forget because they make it sound like he has some when in reality he doesn’t. Which is why I can understand his actions as Chat. The only time I really didn’t like his attitude was Glaciator and Frozer
Ikr? Like what sense does that even make? Geez, some people simply don't understand that everyone is flawed and make mistakes. That's literally part of life.
Marinette screws up & Master Fu praises her, Adrien / Cat Noir screws up &- he gets screamed at. Perhaps if I am being VERY kind I could say their kwami are leading them astray a bit.
@@diyana_ Some staff changes they made part way through season 2 - seemed to show the tone in season 3 as a serious change - one I could still mostly see in the New York Special. I am a little worried about the show continuing to be a jerk to Chloe, let Marinette get away with anything she likes and demonise Cat Noir and make Adrien's life hell, not to mention not even develop Adrien as much as they could or should. It might be nice if they told us some simple things about his life and thoughts in throw away lines a bit more often than they do.
People need to understand that Adrien doesn’t have social skills. He just now went to school, so calling him blind and treating him like he’s only a side character sucks, because he’s such a deep character and a good one too. He’s my favorite character, not just because he’s Cat Noir. I hate that people keep saying that Cat Noir’s the better version of him. Adrien IS Cat Noir as seen especially in season 4. We shouldn’t forget this.
Bro if he has not social skills then how was he able to do fencing and all those other sports with other people and talk to Chloe. Y'all coming up with the most BS reasons to defend his ass.
@@quietopinion9637 and??? Chloe was his only friend when he was a kid and yea he never went to school before. Yea he has no social skills since his dad never allowed him to go to outside before. And your comment is dumb
I love Adrien so much as a character. Although I can’t relate to his abuse I feel for him and have so much empathy. The fact that he can be so sweet and nice to everyone while being mentally and abused by his father is heartbreaking but beautiful because he couldn’t easily be a jerk. I love him. 😭
“He’s to busy laughing away while he’s terrorizing two teenagers and hording butterflies “ That’s the best description of Gabriel Agreste I’ve ever heard
And probably orphaned in some way or another. And yea imagine your father is evil 🦹♂️ and your mother is dead , poor adrien the hate towards him because of lukanette is so unnecessary
Right, they both have to sacrifice relationships both in their civilian and superhero lives because of keeping their identities secret. I hate that fans compare their hardships as if it’s some kind of competition.
I wouldn't say that they go through the exact same things, but through similar things, and in the end their struggles are equal in the way that one doesn't have it worse thzn the other
I actually think Adrien\Cat deals with much more pain considering his awful background and having family that's not solid. yet he's so kind nice and cordial to everyone he's the perfect example of the line "you can walk straight through hell with a smile"
I have absolutely no idea how people can call Adrien giving up his miraculous selfish.. Let alone manipulative- especially after seeing everything that leads up to said moment. I'm with you on this, there's no need for the aggression towards him on that scene.
I know people call Adrien boring, but I think that’s okay because part of Adrien’s character is that he just tries to please others, and acts accordingly. Chat Noir is his only time he can really be himself. Remember the episode Lies? Kagami wanted to draw Adrien, but every supermodel pose just wasn’t right. When Kagami told him to be himself, he made the Chat Noir pose. The episode Wishmaker showed us that all he wants is to please his father, and he lacks a personality because all he is so someone trying to please others. Adrien needs more screen time. He’s sooo much more interesting and complex than Marinette
What kids see in this show: Heroic action and colorful cartoon animation. But what WE see: Romance, very dark emotion, theories of sentimonsters, Adrien abused, etc…
Adrien/Chat is my favorite character. I was genuinely shocked to enter fandom spaces and see so much hate towards him especially when Marinette can be downright mean sometimes
The creator won't really make that happen and give the excuse that this is a kid cartoon. Even if they did it wouldn't change much since almost every emotion confession between the two wasn't very acknowledge for the future episode
I really do hope the heroes talk about their feelings with each other. Although, I think LB will stop CN from talking about his life, since she insists so hard on not knowing absolutely anything about each other
I haven’t realized how tragic Adriens story really is. While Toon was talking about his abusive relationship with his father, his need for friends, and his low self esteem, I actually started tearing up. It’s so tragic to see such a caring person at such a young age be treated the way Adrien is treated in this show. Even despite being abused, manipulated, and brought down by others (mostly his father), Adrien is still such a good person! He was manipulated into thinking that making a single mistake means he’s not good enough, and considering how harsh Ladybug can be toward him at times makes sense. Adrien just wants to be happy. That’s why he feels so hurt and saddened by Marinette whenever she makes him feel like he’s not being a good friend. He wants to keep her friendship because it’s honestly all he has left. Nino and Marinette are the only good thing in Adriens life right now (Plagg too), and Adrien doesn’t want to lose that. He’s already lost so much, and doesn’t want to feel completely alone. I feel like we always go so harsh on Adrien for saying things like, “She’s just a friend” or “No, Marinette can’t be in love with me, besides there’s Luka”, and so on. I feel he says these things because of his self esteem. As Adrien, he doesn’t feel like he’s good enough because of the way he has been treated by everybody around him. That’s why when he’s Cat Noir, he feels a little more free, because he gets to get away from the trapped life he is living as Adrien. That’s why in the New York Special, when Ladybug, his closest friend and partner tells him that she doesn’t trust him, he breaks because of the weight of the situation that has consumed him. I’m really glad the writers went in this direction, and I hope we can see more of Adriens character development in the upcoming Seasons. We all love you Adrien 💚
You think that is sad? Look at zuko (Avatar: the last airbender), crona(Soul Eater), jimmy hall (At Dead Of Night), arthur fleck (JOKER), Shoto Todoroki And toya todoroki (my hero academia), tomura shigaraki (My hero academia) and hawks (my hero academia) And eri's (My hero academia) backstories.
@@shacharlem4424 wtf that got to do with miraculous ladybug 💀 just because adrian isnt very traumatized does not mean his story is any less sad than it is
Correction: Chat Noir never lied. He just didn't have the time to tell Ladybug about what happened because he wanted to save Marinette and everything happened so quickly.
Yes! But I also hope it won't be as dark. Chat Noir's cataclysm was a HUGE shocker, especially for a children's show. And Hawkmoth has crossed a lot of lines, but threatening to launch a nuclear missle and blaiming it on Ladybug and Chat Noir was WAY over the line.
I don’t think people take into account that Marinette’s parents gladly sent her to Shanghai, no questions asked, and she considered moving to New York to pursue a fashion career (the ep centered around Cloe’s mom) with their full support. Adrien is barely allowed to leave his house. An opportunity like going on his school trip had never occurred for him and he knew that it might never occur again. Marinette often let her feelings for Adrian, her rivalries with Cloe and Lila, etc. cloud her judgment as a superhero. She made bad or petty choices based on high school drama, not a lifetime of trauma, and nobody seems to blame her for that.
@@Ichigitchyyayadada If she'd gone to New York, she would have given her miraculous to someone else. She didn't get mad because Cat Noir went on a trip, but because he didn't tell her he was going on a trip, despite having previously assured her that he would be there to protect Paris and contact her if an akuma or sentimonster showed up. If he had told her that he had to leave Paris, she would have understood, and come up with some other plan.
Also the fact no one, and i mean no one, tells him anything. He was told that you can't know each other's identities, yet Ladybug actively chooses other to help and such. He was given the most destructive power without any guide on how to use it, unlike Ladybug with a reset button.
Ahem, let me direct you to Oblivio, and Origins, where Plagg gives a rundown to Adrien of his powers, and his emergency user’s guide in his cat-phone. Ladybug, in the battle helps him know where to use it, and even in some battles, he somehow automatically knows.
@@psychott6 Wait oblivio? You mean the episode where they lost their memories and then got them back with no recollection of the events that happened previously? I don’t think that really counts.
@@psychott6 I don’t mean the episode itself. I mean that most of the events and character development didn’t matter. Even the part where cat noir claimed if he could fall in love once he can do it again. He has had many realizations similar to that but no progress has been made. Although I do agree with the cat phone.
@@superrbx well in the fandom most of the people just simp for him and say that they would totally fall for him if they were ladybug. But most of them don’t pay attention to his story and character
honestly i feel like marinette's only personality and character is being obsessed with adrien, and although I get it, i just wish she had more of a background story. in the special episodes from season 1 we see how marinette fell in love with adrien in the first place, which was only in her freshman year. i want to see how she was like before knowing him. and ofc i want to see her confessing her love and all of that, but besides her wanting to marry adrien and have a hamster with him, we don't know much about any of her dreams or aspirations (i know there's fashion and art but the show doesn't really focuses on that all that much) thomas should really stop using the "it's a show for kids" excuse, and actually do something with this show
Exactly!! I mean we have seen a class photo of her where she actually wore something different and her hair was up but honestly Adrien has gotten the more in-depth backstory & that's why everyone can get behind him. I really want to see how Marinette was before she met Alya, how did Chloe treat everyone before Alya ya know? like it's kind of implied that Mari was friendly with people but the class was too intimidated by Chloe to befriend her, say she was more of a loner and that's why she could relate to Adrien's line "I've never been to school before.. never had friends." idk them connecting to each-other through the fact they have both been lonely just would humanise them both. Season 4 I hope will give both Adrien and Marinette justice/ development.
I know it's a kid's show but I really think Chat Noir may be dealing with depression and it's pretty obvious he has issues with self-esteem. Having constantly been abused by his father, gotten coldness from his household/Felix (except from maybe his mom), Ladybug constantly rejecting or being cold to him, it makes sense that he'd internalize one mistake. Especially since the mistake was, like, kind of killing someone and Paris getting destroyed. He genuinely thought giving up being Chat was the best thing and it broke him, seeing how upset he got when even Marinette in the following scene didn't try to convince him to stay. :( Poor child needs a hug and for the creators to stop torturing him.
Mate please don’t use the fact that it’s a kids show as some werid excuse about them not covering serious topics. They can literally do that, it’s not rare anymore
@@gracekim25 You're absolutely right. A lot of kids shows are doing that now (heck Steven Universe). I wish this show would but I heard that this probably wouldn't since it's more of a cutesy show. But then again they had Chat Blanc in which a 14 year old abused kid kills the entire planet so. I hope the writers do more with Adrien's development, he's such a well-written character agh!
I agree but only if you exclude Chloe, she has never been truly mean to adrien it’s always the people around him. She’s a bit pushy because of her adoration of him but she listens to him and wouldn’t let someone hurt him while she was around.
As a person who's studying behavioural psychology, I saw this and understood it pretty clearly. Adrien is a complex character with a skewed way of understanding things due to abuse. I genuinely wish that he could have some episodes focused more on HIM so that it could get through thick skulls of those fans who call him selfish or oversensitive.
Yea I wish the show could also focus on Adrien too but it's not likely that it will because technically it's a kids show and his life story may be a little too dark for children.
i thought it was head-on obvious from the start because of Adrian's character. He never went to New York and experience it with friends and thought that maybe he deserved it, as long as Lady bug didn't know, but since they had to keep their identities a secret, both of them didn't expect to be in New York. The fact that LB showed her disappointment to him was his fear and the fact that Paris was in danger because he didn't keep his promise made him feel like the villian. Watching the movie broke my little heart, but now it feels like their actual bond between super heroes is closer than ever.
As someone who has also lived in a similar emotionally abusive and socially deprived environment where every mistake is the end of the world, his actions are spot on. It took me YEARS to realize that someone helping me with something I messed up was them being helpful and not furious with me, and not understanding social queues only made that problem worse. This video 100% made me realize why Cat/Adrien is my favorite character, there’s a difference between being selfish and dramatic, and being abused and socially sheltered. Dumb dumb cat son is best son. 💛
Aw I’m really sorry you went through the same thing. Luckily I’ve NEVER been through that. My family is loyal! But I do understand what you’re going through, since I’ve been watching Miraculous. Just remember, you are loved and cared for, and we are all here to support you! 🥰
The drawing that Adrien made was adorable, but if we saw his current art..it would've looked sad or depressing. I'm not sure if its just me but drawing my feelings helps me out. Poor Adrien. I hope Ladybug notices all his problems..because rejecting him will obviously turn into hate and akumatizing. (As we saw in Chat Blanc)
“I’m really scared of disappointing this person, so I’ll lie and say I have everything under control, and that way they won’t be mad!” is so relatable for me it hurts.
True Plagg loves Adrien a lot he’ll I love Plagg as well but their times he did make mistakes like not telling him about the Kwami thing in Sandboy and blaming him in Style Queen for losing his ring
@@huthifaali8291 I feel like Plagg purposely said those things about his Cat Noir in style Queen to rub it in Ladybug's face how she treats him. My head canon for that episode. Also he turned away from Marinette when introducing himself like he didn't give a shit about Marinette and I love that!
It makes me so mad that Chat noir is thought of as just a side kick to ladybug though the Chat and Ladybug miraculous are supposed to be equally powerful 😐 isn’t it supposed to be yin and yang
Exactly the cat and ladybug miraculous are both powerful than any others as they were both born at the exact same time creation and destruction happened for the first time , the only difference is that ladybug can capture akumas
May I remind all of you, there was a scene, I don't entirely remember where. Ladybug just waves into the camera with her yo-yo, while Cat Noir was in the back, checking on a kid with a blanket that was scared.
Man, while watching this I noticed that whenever his friends get close or hug him, Adrien has this startled look on his face, like he isn't used to it. Which might also point to isolation and touch-starvation, and that hurts to think about. And even though it's a cliche, it might also explain why his suit is so tight. Not to mention the bell, tail/belt, and even the pinned-on ears. They provide pressure and comfort like a weighted blanket. Not only would it look wrong from a visual standpoint not to have this in his costume, but I would feel wrong physically, too.
Who the heck was calling Adrien "selfish", "sensitive", and/or "manipulative"?! The nerve of these brats! Smh They act like Marinette has never made a serious mistake and Adrien's to blame for everything. So judgemental.
I dont want both Mari and Adrien hate tbh, its kinda annoying how people compare these 2....the fandom and ESPECIALLY The writers, they frickin give Ladybug most of the spotlight than Chat noir, i wish in S4 Chat noir will get some spotlight and give poor Mari better story writing, season 3 made her evil and that leaves the fandom to hate her, THIS SHOW GETS ON MY NERVES BUT AT THE SAME TIME I LOVE THIS SHOW.....i have problems.
I think the things Adrien has done wrong "so far" in some people's minds that I can think of (not including saying "Just a Friend" to many times to count) Is : 1) Telling Marinette to take the high ground with Lila. 2) Not calling Chloe out properly on her bullying after Despair bear. 3) Not standing up for himself to Gabriel or Ladybug as much as he could. 4) Maybe he needs to make a bit more of an effort with the rest of the class friendship wise 5) Listening to Plagg's bad advice and ignoring his good advice or hints about "Girlfriends and Pigtails" 6) having his hissy fit in Syren at a dangerous time 7) Leaving town without telling Ladybug on multiple occasions. 8) Being a bit to creepy with Ladybug sometimes 9) Lying to Theo in Copycat / Being jealous 10) Being a people pleaser 11) Giving up Plagg to easily in the New York special 12) Not complaining much when Ladybug hits him 13) Being a bit dense about Marinette's crush i.e the posters in her room Things I can't blame him for are things he can't have noticed though like thinking Marinette likes Cat Noir when she's actually just being a jerk to CN behind his back. Bust essentially he's a lonely socially isolated boy, who misses his mother and is looking for a connection and & sense of family they keep getting shorted out on him so I am reasonably sympathetic to him. if I made a list of things LB / Marinette has done wrong we'd be here all night.
@@90lancaster Im just tired hearing people complaining about these characters.....i just wanna think about their positive traits and not overanalyzing or think about their negative traits too much.
@@mrtotle1285 I like to read the fluffier Miraculous Fan Fiction so I can enjoy their more positive sides. The show tends to not be giving quite so may positive vibes as often.
"And while I would love to rant about this abusive Barbie-Ken-doll-looking rip-off, that's not the point of this video." asjbkdfksildkjfs- when I tell you I DIED 🤣🤣🤣
@Unknown I know this is old sorry- But, just because Gabriel has good intentions for what he does and cares about Adrien to some extent, that absolutely DOES NOT mean he isn't abusive. Isolating a child and threatening to take away the things that they love if they don't comply with your every whim IS abuse. It IS possible to be accidentally abusive. You can still be a toxic person and genuinely care about people. Abuse doesn't always mean the person doesn't care, or doesn't want someone to be hurt by something or someone. If Gabriel believes that because he's used to being isolated that it must be better for Adrien to also be isolated, then Gabriel doesn't understand that his experience isn't universal. Gabriel wanting Adrien to be safe and not in the same state as Emilie is not an excuse for Gabriel's actions. Intent rarely ever equals outcome.
This video made me realize that Adrien/chat noir has such a deep and intricate character it almost makes Marinette/ladybug’s character laughable. He seems like more of a main character than her at times, but maybe with her new guardianship we’ll see more development in seasons 4 and 5. Edit: welp, after watching the season 4 teasers that recently came out, I think it’s safe to say that Marinette will also be going through some tough baggage herself💀
I noticed that Adrien definitely got more spotlight and focus in this special- outside of Marinette’s obsession. Both Chat and Adrien got a lot more development, which I hope continues in the rest of the series.
I feel that character development wasn't a main focus at the beginning because this show is categorized as a kids show but now that the writers are realizing how popular it is with older audiences, it is becoming more meaningful, and they are taking the time to include growth and lessons.
adrien listens to everything his father said: 1. Chinese & Fencing 2. Modeling & photoshoots even though Gabriel can hire someone 3. Stay homeschooled and study 4. No friends over 5. Meeting and greeting guests GABRIEL ATLEAST GIVE HIME FREEDOM
This special In my opinion was pretty in character. Adrien hiding the truth from ladybug because he didn't want to disappoint her makes sense considering his mental abuse at the hands of his father and how he expected to be perfect. Abusive households mostly breeds liars especially in Adrien's case where telling the truth gets you punished. And ladybug's anger was justified because he betrayed her trust. And yet she in no world would ever want him to stop being chat noir. She doesn't want another partner. She wants THIS chat noir
@@ToonRuinsOfficial it's really hard to not think black and white. Person does bad thing is bad is easy. Seeing the intentions and hurt that leads to those decisions is difficult. Especially when you might unintentionally see yourself in the "bad person". Not being able to categorise people is frightening. Sorry for weird rant. Love how nuanced your look into everything is
@@od3910 yeah it's nice to see someone who actually sees these characters as people for once. I get so annoyed seeing hate posts going like "I hate Marinette she's the worst" etc, like why is everything 0 to 100 with these people. Like there's a scale to things, not everything is black & white. Like if she's too perfect they call her a Mary Sue, but if she makes mistakes people hate her and call her terrible. Like good ppl aren't perfect all the time, it's like no understands nuance anymore, or maybe I'm expecting too much from the fanbase of 10 year olds LMAOO
i hate how when Ladybug makes a mistake like she did in s3 finale, everything is "fine" but when cat noir does it she throws such a temper tantrum at him😐
but she feels like she can't because of Chat Blanc. Why can't y'all empathise with her reasonings too?? She literally 14 with the weight of protecting Paris on her shoulders and having to lie about it, while also being bullied. She needs self love too
@@quietopinion9637 Chat Noir has the exact same weight on his shoulders and is also protecting Paris The reason why it happened is because they were caught dating, not because they knew each other’s identities She is bullied!? BICC WHERE, EVERYONE LOVES HER CAUSE SHE IS JUST SO “PERFECT”
Honestly though the fact that people called Adrien selfish for giving up his Miraculous is just insane. When I watched that part I just realized that anytime he does something wrong (by his father's standards) he gets punished and that makes him think that when he does something even a tiny bit wrong he deserves to be punished for it. Which is pretty crazy. The only thing that I don't really like about Adrien is that apparently the only way he could love Marinette was if she was Ladybug (proven by Chat Blanc episode) he only fell in love with Marinette because he found out that she was Ladybug and not for any other reason.
He is already crushing on her (notice Plagg joked about him getting a girlfriend and often calls Marinette the same name as LB as a not so subtle hint to Adrien - that he's to dense to notice) - and was since the umbrella scene - the difference is he's not aware of it yet. If LB wasn't in the picture he'd have fell for her, if Adrien wasn't in the picture LB & CN would have (eventually) have been a couple too. I do agree though that Cat Blanc did give the impression that he was only giving Marinette the time of day because she's LB - rather than actually caring two hoots about her "baker's girl / Designer girl" persona at all. he may have grown to love that side of her. But I didn't get the impression he was expressing relief that he no longer had to feel guilty about his low-key crush being disloyal to ladybug no longer being an issue - it seemed more like he'd never considered Marinette as anything other than "that quirky girl in my class" and that was kinda sad - but any progression in their friendship implied by episodes like Anansi - never seems to stick as the show lacks proper continuity (as Puppeteer 2 being subsequently ignored showed to great effect).
to be fair if you look at his behavior toward mari throughtout the show he praises her at every opportunity. wants to help her out and thinks the world of her. and had flirted with her as chat. and he has figured her out easily before. considering that ladybug tends to show more negative and neutral sides to to him than mari does with adrien.he kindof knows more of her as ladybug so I'm not sure if its fair to say he wouldn't be interested if she wasn't ladybug as if ladybug is some better version of her. the only thing getting in mari's way of adrien realizing he likes civilian her if he thinks she isn't interested in HIM and he already has a crush. considering many have crushed on mari in the show like nate and nino and from adrien's view mari isn't interested in him and he is already dealing with one unrequited crush...why exactly would he risk getting stuck in another one?
Okay I get what you guys are saying and I rewatched the episodes that Adrinette scenes (so I guess basically all of them) and I saw the little hints that Adrien likes Marinette (the way he looks at her, the way that he acts with her when his Chat Noir etc.) I'm not saying that I don't like Adrien I'm just saying that I don't like how he doesn't realize that he likes her and the only way he realized he likes her was when he found out she was Ladybug (for example if Adrien found out that Chloe was Ladybug I don't think that Adrien would instantly fall in love with Chole like he did with Marinette) but I just think that it's kinda dumb that he can't realize his own feelings when other people can
@@ginnyweasley8808 In the french lyrics of song The Wall Between Us Adrien sings about his feeling to Marinette "When I think of her (=Marinette) I feel unfaithful /I want to run away in the night to see my ladybug... He is not so dumb, he is not able to move forward.
the potential this show could’ve had if they’d made this a show on the maturer side, and actually marketed it towards an older demographic. the majority of the show’s fan base are teens/young adults anyway. adrien could have such a great character arc. not only does he show signs of depression in the current show, but his character is very intricate and has a ton of potential. a lot more interesting then marinette, haha
I wouldnt say marionette isnt interesting since her character deals with anxiety and coming of age but I do think her character needs more depth and that adriens life needs to be explored more! i really really hope adrien talks to ladybug about his abusive home life and the show takes an overall more mature tone in the next season!!
To be fair, they are now going into Marinette with her trauma and stress in season 4, they've done a lot with Adrien, Mari's def gonna have a major arx
I think some of the appeal of the show is it's childlike demeanor, but I do think they can develop the mature themes of the show I a subtle way, giving the older audience what we want whilst not taking away from the unique charm of the show
I think the fact that Adrien’s giving up of his miraculous can be viewed as both “sensitive” (implying impulsive) and “manipulative” (implying calculating) is a sign that it’s probably neither. People like to think that just because Adrien isn’t a spoiled rich kid, that automatically means he doesn’t have any issues socializing.
The sidekick thing about cat noir is kinda true because in strike back (shadow moths last attack part2) the people of Paris only said ladybugs name and they didn’t say his name so that kinda proves it that they see him more as a sidekick than an actual hero
This, every point you've made about Adrien's life style made me realize why he's my favorite character in the show, whether in or out of the mask. Adrien is the one with the most problems , or at least, the one with the most serious problems, in the show, and that makes for a more interesting character. An absent mother, an abusive father, a partner that fail to show her true appreciation and feelings, and a lack of social cues; he's the one out of the duo with a personal stake in the battle against Hawkmoth, he's the one who has something to lose or gain depending on the outcome, it just makes me wish he was the main character instead of Marinette.
Yeah, Adrien would've been so much more interesting and compelling as the main character. But nope, Marinette is Astruc's prized character so I imagine he does as much as possible to give her more screen time than Adrien.
@@47ratsinahoodie I dislike her to a passion. She is creepy stalker and leans on Luka btw. Idk if you guys seen the ep where she on his bed smelling things. The shit ton of photo which is unnatural.

Why Nino x Adrien is superior to Marinette x Adrien: Nino actually *frickin supports him as a person-* Edit: The replies are largely trashfire ehe take it or leave it
I agree that he is more interesting to follow, buut MLB would probably be a lot darker if he was. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing! But it's pretty refreshing to me to have a protagonist (Mari) that doesn't have a depressingly soap opera backstory. Also keeps the mystery interesting when it's lurking in the shadows and the whole female superhero thing is very nice. Basically, glad that Adrien and Mari are both main characters and also that now that the story's picking up he's getting more of the spotlight. Respect ur opnion tho ofc.
"Abusive Barbie Ken doll-looking rip-off" 😂 Gabriel really is the worst but we'd all be lying if we said he didn't have _some_ semblance of a fashion sense.
Gabriel reminds me of my abusive ex. The way Adrien acts (criticising himself for a mistake) is how a victim of abuse is. Holy crap I hope the writers get him out of that situation.
it would be better to make him realize it and maybe mari could help him realize, seek help, and overall help him get better, and that could make him fall in love with her naturally, so if they ever reveal their identities it wouldn’t be forced for adrien and marinette to be together just because mari is ladybug. hope ur in a better place now

he is kinda a main Oc but he's just too over shadowed wich is kinda sad since His personality both Adrien and chat noir is kinda a charm for ladybug/mari
this is a bit silly, but i just wanted to say this whole dialogue around adrien being abused by his parents (and explaining what makes adrien’s parents abusive) resulting in him accidentally sabotaging his own friendships due to the way he was treated deadass made me realize that my own parents were abusive. like, idk, i feel like it’s easy for people to write off parent’s repeated awful parenting methods as being “overprotective” or “controlling with good intentions,” but hearing you and a ton of other people online bluntly and unquestionably describe this behavior as abusive when it’s applied to adrien was weirdly relieving and so so comforting. thank you 🖤
Chat Noir is one of my favorite characters and that scene where he denounced Plagg was heartbreaking, I had no idea people were ripping into him cause of it, shame on those people
Yea for real tho, I had no idea there were people that actually hated him for that. He almost accidentally killed someone and all the other heroes were tearing into him for it, they were all chastising him and it's perfectly understandable that he didn't feel worthy of being chat noir anymore. I don't hold anything against him for denouncing Plagg in that moment, he eventually got him back so it's not that big a deal. I truly don't understand why people hate him for it.
19:11 The fact that Adrien/ Chat noir had to think about the question ‘would you really think he take it out on his son?!’ shows that Adrien doesn’t know if his father feel any sort of family bond with him. He was unsure if his father would take it out on him like that or not. Ladybug/ Marinette is shocked when she asks the question ‘would you really think he take it out on his son?!’ She thinks this because she simply finds it astonishing that a father could care that less about his son or daughter as she knows her father wouldn’t ever do anything like that. This comment just adds more points to the video and also shows, once again, that Gabriel is a horrible father.
@@ultimatedisneycruiselinefa5112 Ye he'll get arrested for : 30 years : For being Hawkmoth +10 years : For child abuse +5 years : For hiding a dead body in your basement
@@ara12129 I mean he literally murders half of Paris almost every single day.. if ladybug and chat noir weren’t there, the people who were victims of the akumatized person would be gone. I say he needs more jail time 😡
12:57 You mention here that Adrien’s never had a healthy relationship before, but we have to remember that it’s implied often that his relationship with his mother was positive, as well as his sibling like friendship with Chloe in their early childhood, but this honestly still supports the point you’re making here. The only positive relationships he DID have ended up being negative somehow. His mother died and he’s pretty much betrayed by Chloe when she sides with Hawk Moth, showing her “true colors” (I still really hate that the writers did that to Chloes arc) so both relationships take on negative connotations. Moreso in regards to his mother’s death, as it can be believed Gabriel’s abusive behavior started to surface after her death. Edit: also I don’t necessarily think Gabriel akumatized himself to make Adrien feel guilty (though it could be part of it tbh) but instead supposed to throw off suspicion that he could be Hawk Moth. I believe in The Collector, Adrien discovered something that could lead to suspicion of Gabriel.
i personally think chloe was not a good example for him. most of the time they saw each other he was trying to get away from her & upset by her behavior so i’m not sure i’d call it a good relationship. & after wishamker (spoilers!!) we know BOTH of his parents played a part in his manipulation and abuse so emile was probably just the lesser evil of the two, i wouldn’t exactly call that positive either he probably just saw that as normal and decided that his mom was a great person bc at least she wasn’t like gabriel
miraculously untalented Oh, I meant in their childhood! Adrien mentions a few times that he and Chloe grew up together and she wasn’t as mean and selfish back then. When I said Chloe was one of his only positive relationships in his past, I meant at a time when Chloe was not yet a bad person
agree, tho i honestly don’t think chloe was ever a good friend. even as a little kid she was probably toxic and controlling toward her friends. also we don’t know for sure if emilie was as good of a person as she seems….at least she seems to have been better at parenting than gabe, but that’s a pretty low standard lol
I definitely don't think he akumatized himself specifically thinking "how can I mess up my son??" But it definitely became a crazy, abusive moment. Abusers more often than not don't intend to abuse, they don't usually wake up thinking "how can I psychologically mess with this person?" In Hawk Moth's case, he is doing what he can to run his business, be hawk moth, and bring back Adrien's mom, all whilst keeping suspicion off of himself. In the process, he's doing his part to feed into akuma opportunities and seek perfection.
I don’t know, but I hate they way that ladybug treats Cat noir. Like when any one else makes a mistake she’s mad but more understanding, but throughout the whole show, she always treats him like a sidekick and really, she’s rude and pretty harsh towards him. Don’t get me wrong I love our girl but her personality changes so much towards cat noir and it’s pretty bad.
It's like she's so used to being mean when he's flirtatious that she's just become mean in general. And on top of that, she expects things to go a specific way when in reality, there are infinite possibilities! So what if Chat Noir _did_ stay in Paris? He couldn't have cleaned the sentimonster feather and he couldn't have reversed the damage. LB likely wouldn't have been able to get to Paris in time because, as we saw in the siren episode, she swims at a normal speed. Even with her flight power up, it would've taken a few hours. LB really didn't think her plan through and she just expected things to fall into place and be okay.
Adrien/cat is such a good person and it’s sad that he has a messed up home life, he’s young or our age like maybe most of us and he values all the right things yk 🥺

It's just people who want the duo to be together in the end. It's not bad to ship, but specials like this are important to give more life to the story and background. It also strengthens bonds of certain characters and that is needed, but tbh, I don't expect every one to understand since the entire show is for children.

I was a teen when the show started in 2015, and I still watch it till today, Thomas probably realized most of his audience fans are not kids.
Frrrr
Adrien calls Marinette a friend because, other than Chloe, she was his first friend he made at school. He really treasures their friendship. In the umbrella scene you can see how happy Adrien was to befriend Marinette. ALSO! The umbrella that Adrien gave Marinette looks exactly like the one his mother had, so if that was his mother’s umbrella that he gave Marinette so freely, that would mean that he really likes her. Even if he does have feelings for Marinette, or not, he doesn’t want that to ruin one of his treasured friendships.
Adrien lacks a lot of relationships that he needs in life so it's normal for him to have this much care for his friends
yep. but also, wasn't nino his first friend besides chloe?
@@jess-zf6ng yes but Adrien MADE the effort to be friends with Marinette while Nino asked Adrien to be friends
@@Sanrio-paradise ohh yeahh
I also believe that he is bad at expressing his emotions
Adrien acts EXACTLY like someone who’s been emotionally abused would act: he is fearful of upsetting the people in his life because upsetting his father, even over something petty and insignificant, always leads to excessively harsh consequences. He’s had little to no social interactions outside of his abusive father, and thanks to Gabriel’s cold demeanor, Adrien has been left to interpret others’ feelings on his own. But other people don’t act like Gabriel, which is how we get the situations where Adrien misreads a situation; his mind goes straight to the worst case scenario because THAT’S HOW GABRIEL WOULD ACT.
Exactly! I think that’s why I personally love Adrien/Chat as a character much more than Marinette/Ladybug. What you described I think perfectly describes his experiences and actions. As someone who also went through emotional abuse to some extent, I can testify. A bit different from Adrien but my mother would have unpredictable moods. Sometimes if I do something wrong, she can be kind or mean. When she is angry at me, she’d punish me in many ways, lowering my curfew which is difficult cause of my insomnia, take my phone which is one of the few sources of happiness I have, threaten to hit me if I do something wrong, all of that. It has made me become extremely fearful of getting her mad because she’d yell at me and if I cry, she’d say it’s my fault. It’s just like Adrien’s perspective of things and I think despite how jumbled the characters are in Miraculous, Adrien’s character has felt the best written in terms of abuse and his reactions towards it.

If Ladybug had to be the protagonist, the least they could have done is make her interesting as opposed to making LITERALLY EVERY OTHER IMPORTANT SIDE CHARACTER interesting.
As a writer myself, I kid you not, making the main character too interesting/have too much focus is the more common mistake as opposed to the other. And when they reflect on that they end up doing the exact opposite and end up giving the main character too little focus.
A good writer would keep working at that cycle until it reaches a balance, which this guy clearly did not do.

Mari is my least favorite character specifically because of how she's written. A side character can be a power feminist, just because the show revolves around them doesn't make you or them a feminist.
I love how Nino is so patient and willing to help Adrien learn how to socialize.
IKR I love that! ☺️
Momento Mori ⚫⚪
Nino is best boy. He is so supportive and helps Adrien out a lot. He’s criminally underrated in the show.
Nino is the good father he never got, if there not lifelong best friends I don’t know what is

... Can we add Plagg to Adrien's friend count?
Yes, 100%
Plagg's not a friend. He's a surrogate older brother.
@@joseph86255 I agree, but siblings can also be friends. I see Plagg as a friend and an older brother figure to Adrien.
@@EchoStarcast Well, there's a reason Nino is his best friend. Because Plagg's more than that. Same way Alya is Marinette's best friend because Tikki is more than that.

Let's be honest, adrian is probably depressed and doesn't realize it
Social butterflies usually are (and social lions when they lose a grip)
Yeah
Yes you are correct
I realized he could be a depressive character
Yea, there’s a video on someone thinking he could have borderline personality disorder but most said was when he was akumazied and most comments said that’s him having depression is more likely and I think it’s that and he obviously dosent know since his father obviously wouldn’t notice since he barely sees him and when he does and does something wrong he leaves him
Adrien calls marinette just a friend because of Chloe, chloe was showing flirty and loving signs towards him yet they are both still just friends. Marinette, showing similar signs makes Adrien - having very few proper and heartfelt relationships with other humans - think that she is just a friend.
I am glad to see Adrien and Cats development for socializing and i really hope it continues in season4 and the shanghi special.
yeah
I do think there are many logical reasons why Adrien says Marinette is just a friend, but I personally don't think Chloe is one of them. I don't mean to be mean or anything, I respect your opinion. But Marinette doesn't really act openly flirty with Adrien like Chloe is, it's quite the opposite, really. She gets too nervous most times and runs away (which he sees, making him think HE is the problem because he doesn't get social cues). Marinette also often messes up her words, complimenting him but then accidentally insulting him.
I don't like the idea of Adrien loving Marinette and just not acknowledging/realizing it. It always seemed forced. Like, Adrien doesn't really get a chance to talk with Marinette properly. And when they do, I doubt it's enough to develop romantic feelings.
Honestly, I think it's best they both mature (Adrien learning social cues and Marinette expressing her feelings) for any romantic relationship together to last.
Imo Adriano probs thinks of her as a friend since marrenite is always pushing him away and saying how she doesn’t have those feelings for him. It’s complicated. Mariente makes me mad lol
@@fruitylooperies8166 period. You spoke only facts. That's why the whole "Adrien is blind" it's just not it. Adrien does not have social clues and when he asks Marinette what she feels for him she denies that she has romantic feelings for him. How could he understand like that? He LACKED human interaction until 13 y.o. Adrien's story is so interesting and I wish he was developed much more, because he's an interesting character and a MAIN character. Something that the writers forget often

Its just now after this video hitting me that when Adrien said “No one will know that I quit. And no one will care.” That’s basically him admitting that he truly does think he’s expendable when it comes to his role as Chat Noir. Shit broke my heart. I never thought much of that line until after this breakdown of his character. Baby really needs to be told he’s loved more often. If not by his shit father, then by his friends. And Marinette as Ladybug really needs to realize that Chat is more fragile than he makes himself appear. I hope that in season four, she tells him how much she appreciates him more often.
Then he really needs to open up more and understand it's hard for her too as she's also under a lot fo stress as the guardian now. Both have their stresses and not one of them is above another so they both need to open up more basically.

I agree with you about Nathalie. I don't like how people say she's horrible because of what she did in Chat Blanc, but we have to remember that it was a worse case scenario. Plus, Gabriel is her boss and Adrien is his son, so she would of had to something...she was ordered to.

How are we even surprised that so many fans dismiss Adrien's issues? The writers themselves do it.

It might be nice if they told us some simple things about his life and thoughts in throw away lines a bit more often than they do.
But Marinette has no flaws (said in Sarcasm mode)
People need to understand that Adrien doesn’t have social skills. He just now went to school, so calling him blind and treating him like he’s only a side character sucks, because he’s such a deep character and a good one too.

I wouldn't say that they go through the exact same things, but through similar things, and in the end their struggles are equal in the way that one doesn't have it worse thzn the other

Remember the episode Lies? Kagami wanted to draw Adrien, but every supermodel pose just wasn’t right. When Kagami told him to be himself, he made the Chat Noir pose.
The episode Wishmaker showed us that all he wants is to please his father, and he lacks a personality because all he is so someone trying to please others.

I really do hope the heroes talk about their feelings with each other. Although, I think LB will stop CN from talking about his life, since she insists so hard on not knowing absolutely anything about each other
I haven’t realized how tragic Adriens story really is. While Toon was talking about his abusive relationship with his father, his need for friends, and his low self esteem, I actually started tearing up. It’s so tragic to see such a caring person at such a young age be treated the way Adrien is treated in this show. Even despite being abused, manipulated, and brought down by others (mostly his father), Adrien is still such a good person! He was manipulated into thinking that making a single mistake means he’s not good enough, and considering how harsh Ladybug can be toward him at times makes sense. Adrien just wants to be happy. That’s why he feels so hurt and saddened by Marinette whenever she makes him feel like he’s not being a good friend. He wants to keep her friendship because it’s honestly all he has left. Nino and Marinette are the only good thing in Adriens life right now (Plagg too), and Adrien doesn’t want to lose that. He’s already lost so much, and doesn’t want to feel completely alone. I feel like we always go so harsh on Adrien for saying things like, “She’s just a friend” or “No, Marinette can’t be in love with me, besides there’s Luka”, and so on. I feel he says these things because of his self esteem. As Adrien, he doesn’t feel like he’s good enough because of the way he has been treated by everybody around him. That’s why when he’s Cat Noir, he feels a little more free, because he gets to get away from the trapped life he is living as Adrien. That’s why in the New York Special, when Ladybug, his closest friend and partner tells him that she doesn’t trust him, he breaks because of the weight of the situation that has consumed him.
I’m really glad the writers went in this direction, and I hope we can see more of Adriens character development in the upcoming Seasons. We all love you Adrien 💚

18:00 “He’s too busy laughing away as he terrorizes two teenagers and hoards butterflies” HAHAHAHAHA BEST DESCRIPTION OF HIM I’VE EVER HEARD LMAOOOO
I don’t think people take into account that Marinette’s parents gladly sent her to Shanghai, no questions asked, and she considered moving to New York to pursue a fashion career (the ep centered around Cloe’s mom) with their full support. Adrien is barely allowed to leave his house. An opportunity like going on his school trip had never occurred for him and he knew that it might never occur again. Marinette often let her feelings for Adrian, her rivalries with Cloe and Lila, etc. cloud her judgment as a superhero. She made bad or petty choices based on high school drama, not a lifetime of trauma, and nobody seems to blame her for that.
How is she allowed to do that but not him, she literally wanted to ditch protecting Paris to pursue her career but when adrien leaves she gets mad?
@@Ichigitchyyayadada i agree completely
@@Ichigitchyyayadada If she'd gone to New York, she would have given her miraculous to someone else. She didn't get mad because Cat Noir went on a trip, but because he didn't tell her he was going on a trip, despite having previously assured her that he would be there to protect Paris and contact her if an akuma or sentimonster showed up. If he had told her that he had to leave Paris, she would have understood, and come up with some other plan.
Also the fact no one, and i mean no one, tells him anything. He was told that you can't know each other's identities, yet Ladybug actively chooses other to help and such. He was given the most destructive power without any guide on how to use it, unlike Ladybug with a reset button.
To be fair, adrien didn’t know how to use it because he was impatient. And he figured it out soon after.
Ahem, let me direct you to Oblivio, and Origins, where Plagg gives a rundown to Adrien of his powers, and his emergency user’s guide in his cat-phone. Ladybug, in the battle helps him know where to use it, and even in some battles, he somehow automatically knows.

he barely gets any screen time in s4 ;(
honestly i feel like marinette's only personality and character is being obsessed with adrien, and although I get it, i just wish she had more of a background story. in the special episodes from season 1 we see how marinette fell in love with adrien in the first place, which was only in her freshman year. i want to see how she was like before knowing him. and ofc i want to see her confessing her love and all of that, but besides her wanting to marry adrien and have a hamster with him, we don't know much about any of her dreams or aspirations (i know there's fashion and art but the show doesn't really focuses on that all that much)
thomas should really stop using the "it's a show for kids" excuse, and actually do something with this show
Exactly!! I mean we have seen a class photo of her where she actually wore something different and her hair was up but honestly Adrien has gotten the more in-depth backstory & that's why everyone can get behind him. I really want to see how Marinette was before she met Alya, how did Chloe treat everyone before Alya ya know? like it's kind of implied that Mari was friendly with people but the class was too intimidated by Chloe to befriend her, say she was more of a loner and that's why she could relate to Adrien's line "I've never been to school before.. never had friends." idk them connecting to each-other through the fact they have both been lonely just would humanise them both.
Season 4 I hope will give both Adrien and Marinette justice/ development.
I know it's a kid's show but I really think Chat Noir may be dealing with depression and it's pretty obvious he has issues with self-esteem. Having constantly been abused by his father, gotten coldness from his household/Felix (except from maybe his mom), Ladybug constantly rejecting or being cold to him, it makes sense that he'd internalize one mistake. Especially since the mistake was, like, kind of killing someone and Paris getting destroyed. He genuinely thought giving up being Chat was the best thing and it broke him, seeing how upset he got when even Marinette in the following scene didn't try to convince him to stay. :( Poor child needs a hug and for the creators to stop torturing him.
Mate please don’t use the fact that it’s a kids show as some werid excuse about them not covering serious topics. They can literally do that, it’s not rare anymore
@@gracekim25 You're absolutely right. A lot of kids shows are doing that now (heck Steven Universe). I wish this show would but I heard that this probably wouldn't since it's more of a cutesy show.

I agree but only if you exclude Chloe, she has never been truly mean to adrien it’s always the people around him. She’s a bit pushy because of her adoration of him but she listens to him and wouldn’t let someone hurt him while she was around.
As a person who's studying behavioural psychology, I saw this and understood it pretty clearly. Adrien is a complex character with a skewed way of understanding things due to abuse. I genuinely wish that he could have some episodes focused more on HIM so that it could get through thick skulls of those fans who call him selfish or oversensitive.
Yea I wish the show could also focus on Adrien too but it's not likely that it will because technically it's a kids show and his life story may be a little too dark for children.
@@mish2637 i mean they could always just make the scenes deeper or sum so the children dont actually get it, but we do
Exactly! People call him "oblivious" but that's because of the abuse. He doesn't have good social skills because of it.
i thought it was head-on obvious from the start because of Adrian's character. He never went to New York and experience it with friends and thought that maybe he deserved it, as long as Lady bug didn't know, but since they had to keep their identities a secret, both of them didn't expect to be in New York. The fact that LB showed her disappointment to him was his fear and the fact that Paris was in danger because he didn't keep his promise made him feel like the villian.
Watching the movie broke my little heart, but now it feels like their actual bond between super heroes is closer than ever.
As someone who has also lived in a similar emotionally abusive and socially deprived environment where every mistake is the end of the world, his actions are spot on.
It took me YEARS to realize that someone helping me with something I messed up was them being helpful and not furious with me, and not understanding social queues only made that problem worse. This video 100% made me realize why Cat/Adrien is my favorite character, there’s a difference between being selfish and dramatic, and being abused and socially sheltered.
Dumb dumb cat son is best son. 💛
Aw I’m really sorry you went through the same thing. Luckily I’ve NEVER been through that. My family is loyal! But I do understand what you’re going through, since I’ve been watching Miraculous. Just remember, you are loved and cared for, and we are all here to support you! 🥰
totally agree!! and i’m sorry that happened to you, i hope you’re doing ok now. *sends hug through internet*
The drawing that Adrien made was adorable, but if we saw his current art..it would've looked sad or depressing. I'm not sure if its just me but drawing my feelings helps me out. Poor Adrien. I hope Ladybug notices all his problems..because rejecting him will obviously turn into hate and akumatizing.

@@1612ergb yess I feel like she gets all of the credit just because she captures the akuma though they are supposed to be a team
True... but dont worry if Paris (Miraculous Lady Bug People) Do not appreciate Chat/Adrien... We the Fandom appreciate him!
Literally, like when Cat Noir was gone Ladybug can handle everything but Cat Noir can't do anything without Ladybug😐
May I remind all of you, there was a scene, I don't entirely remember where.
Ladybug just waves into the camera with her yo-yo, while Cat Noir was in the back, checking on a kid with a blanket that was scared.
Man, while watching this I noticed that whenever his friends get close or hug him, Adrien has this startled look on his face, like he isn't used to it. Which might also point to isolation and touch-starvation, and that hurts to think about. And even though it's a cliche, it might also explain why his suit is so tight. Not to mention the bell, tail/belt, and even the pinned-on ears. They provide pressure and comfort like a weighted blanket. Not only would it look wrong from a visual standpoint not to have this in his costume, but I would feel wrong physically, too.
I LOVE this headcanon
Who the heck was calling Adrien "selfish", "sensitive", and/or "manipulative"?! The nerve of these brats! Smh
They act like Marinette has never made a serious mistake and Adrien's to blame for everything. So judgemental.
I dont want both Mari and Adrien hate tbh, its kinda annoying how people compare these 2....the fandom and ESPECIALLY The writers, they frickin give Ladybug most of the spotlight than Chat noir, i wish in S4 Chat noir will get some spotlight and give poor Mari better story writing, season 3 made her evil and that leaves the fandom to hate her, THIS SHOW GETS ON MY NERVES BUT AT THE SAME TIME I LOVE THIS SHOW.....i have problems.
I think the things Adrien has done wrong "so far" in some people's minds that I can think of (not including saying "Just a Friend" to many times to count) Is :
1) Telling Marinette to take the high ground with Lila.
2) Not calling Chloe out properly on her bullying after Despair bear.
3) Not standing up for himself to Gabriel or Ladybug as much as he could.
4) Maybe he needs to make a bit more of an effort with the rest of the class friendship wise
5) Listening to Plagg's bad advice and ignoring his good advice or hints about "Girlfriends and Pigtails"
6) having his hissy fit in Syren at a dangerous time
7) Leaving town without telling Ladybug on multiple occasions.
8) Being a bit to creepy with Ladybug sometimes
9) Lying to Theo in Copycat / Being jealous
10) Being a people pleaser
11) Giving up Plagg to easily in the New York special
12) Not complaining much when Ladybug hits him
13) Being a bit dense about Marinette's crush i.e the posters in her room
Things I can't blame him for are things he can't have noticed though like thinking Marinette likes Cat Noir when she's actually just being a jerk to CN behind his back.
Bust essentially he's a lonely socially isolated boy, who misses his mother and is looking for a connection and & sense of family they keep getting shorted out on him so I am reasonably sympathetic to him.
if I made a list of things LB / Marinette has done wrong we'd be here all night.

@Unknown I know this is old sorry-
But, just because Gabriel has good intentions for what he does and cares about Adrien to some extent, that absolutely DOES NOT mean he isn't abusive. Isolating a child and threatening to take away the things that they love if they don't comply with your every whim IS abuse. It IS possible to be accidentally abusive. You can still be a toxic person and genuinely care about people. Abuse doesn't always mean the person doesn't care, or doesn't want someone to be hurt by something or someone. If Gabriel believes that because he's used to being isolated that it must be better for Adrien to also be isolated, then Gabriel doesn't understand that his experience isn't universal. Gabriel wanting Adrien to be safe and not in the same state as Emilie is not an excuse for Gabriel's actions. Intent rarely ever equals outcome.

This video made me realize that Adrien/chat noir has such a deep and intricate character it almost makes Marinette/ladybug’s character laughable. He seems like more of a main character than her at times, but maybe with her new guardianship we’ll see more development in seasons 4 and 5.
Edit: welp, after watching the season 4 teasers that recently came out, I think it’s safe to say that Marinette will also be going through some tough baggage herself💀
Yes exactly! He's so well written and a more interesting character, which is sad since he's not even the main character.
Chat is my favvvvv
Exactly
Ladybug's relationship with chat noir will help him slowly but surely grow and understand the world around him in a healthier way
EXACTLY
I noticed that Adrien definitely got more spotlight and focus in this special- outside of Marinette’s obsession. Both Chat and Adrien got a lot more development, which I hope continues in the rest of the series.
Same
I feel that character development wasn't a main focus at the beginning because this show is categorized as a kids show but now that the writers are realizing how popular it is with older audiences, it is becoming more meaningful, and they are taking the time to include growth and lessons.
Originally, this show was suppose to be for Teens/Young adults
agree!! season 4 had really good development
adrien listens to everything his father said:
1. Chinese & Fencing
2. Modeling & photoshoots even though Gabriel can hire someone
3. Stay homeschooled and study
4. No friends over
5. Meeting and greeting guests

This special In my opinion was pretty in character. Adrien hiding the truth from ladybug because he didn't want to disappoint her makes sense considering his mental abuse at the hands of his father and how he expected to be perfect. Abusive households mostly breeds liars especially in Adrien's case where telling the truth gets you punished. And ladybug's anger was justified because he betrayed her trust. And yet she in no world would ever want him to stop being chat noir. She doesn't want another partner. She wants THIS chat noir
Exactly. People always dismiss Adrien's abuse, and it's kinda concerning.

but she feels like she can't because of Chat Blanc. Why can't y'all empathise with her reasonings too?? She literally 14 with the weight of protecting Paris on her shoulders and having to lie about it, while also being bullied. She needs self love too
@@quietopinion9637 Chat Noir has the exact same weight on his shoulders and is also protecting Paris
The reason why it happened is because they were caught dating, not because they knew each other’s identities
She is bullied!? BICC WHERE, EVERYONE LOVES HER CAUSE SHE IS JUST SO “PERFECT”
If Mari realized, she would only care abt how she was hating and rejecting her crush and almost nothing else.
Honestly though the fact that people called Adrien selfish for giving up his Miraculous is just insane. When I watched that part I just realized that anytime he does something wrong (by his father's standards) he gets punished and that makes him think that when he does something even a tiny bit wrong he deserves to be punished for it. Which is pretty crazy. The only thing that I don't really like about Adrien is that apparently the only way he could love Marinette was if she was Ladybug (proven by Chat Blanc episode) he only fell in love with Marinette because he found out that she was Ladybug and not for any other reason.
He is already crushing on her (notice Plagg joked about him getting a girlfriend and often calls Marinette the same name as LB as a not so subtle hint to Adrien - that he's to dense to notice) - and was since the umbrella scene - the difference is he's not aware of it yet. If LB wasn't in the picture he'd have fell for her, if Adrien wasn't in the picture LB & CN would have (eventually) have been a couple too. I do agree though that Cat Blanc did give the impression that he was only giving Marinette the time of day because she's LB - rather than actually caring two hoots about her "baker's girl / Designer girl" persona at all.
he may have grown to love that side of her.
But I didn't get the impression he was expressing relief that he no longer had to feel guilty about his low-key crush being disloyal to ladybug no longer being an issue - it seemed more like he'd never considered Marinette as anything other than "that quirky girl in my class" and that was kinda sad - but any progression in their friendship implied by episodes like Anansi - never seems to stick as the show lacks proper continuity (as Puppeteer 2 being subsequently ignored showed to great effect).
to be fair if you look at his behavior toward mari throughtout the show he praises her at every opportunity. wants to help her out and thinks the world of her. and had flirted with her as chat. and he has figured her out easily before. considering that ladybug tends to show more negative and neutral sides to to him than mari does with adrien.he kindof knows more of her as ladybug so I'm not sure if its fair to say he wouldn't be interested if she wasn't ladybug as if ladybug is some better version of her. the only thing getting in mari's way of adrien realizing he likes civilian her if he thinks she isn't interested in HIM and he already has a crush. considering many have crushed on mari in the show like nate and nino and from adrien's view mari isn't interested in him and he is already dealing with one unrequited crush...why exactly would he risk getting stuck in another one?
Okay I get what you guys are saying and I rewatched the episodes that Adrinette scenes (so I guess basically all of them) and I saw the little hints that Adrien likes Marinette (the way he looks at her, the way that he acts with her when his Chat Noir etc.) I'm not saying that I don't like Adrien I'm just saying that I don't like how he doesn't realize that he likes her and the only way he realized he likes her was when he found out she was Ladybug (for example if Adrien found out that Chloe was Ladybug I don't think that Adrien would instantly fall in love with Chole like he did with Marinette) but I just think that it's kinda dumb that he can't realize his own feelings when other people can
@@ginnyweasley8808 In the french lyrics of song The Wall Between Us Adrien sings about his feeling to Marinette "When I think of her (=Marinette) I feel unfaithful

@@ginnyweasley8808 I agree
the potential this show could’ve had if they’d made this a show on the maturer side, and actually marketed it towards an older demographic. the majority of the show’s fan
base are teens/young adults anyway.
adrien could have such a great character arc. not only does he show signs of depression in the current show, but his character is very intricate and has a ton of potential. a lot more interesting then marinette, haha
Right on, and I do think (hope) that the newer season will be just that.
I agree
I wouldnt say marionette isnt interesting since her character deals with anxiety and coming of age but I do think her character needs more depth and that adriens life needs to be explored more! i really really hope adrien talks to ladybug about his abusive home life and the show takes an overall more mature tone in the next season!!
To be fair, they are now going into Marinette with her trauma and stress in season 4, they've done a lot with Adrien, Mari's def gonna have a major arx
I think some of the appeal of the show is it's childlike demeanor, but I do think they can develop the mature themes of the show I a subtle way, giving the older audience what we want whilst not taking away from the unique charm of the show
I think the fact that Adrien’s giving up of his miraculous can be viewed as both “sensitive” (implying impulsive) and “manipulative” (implying calculating) is a sign that it’s probably neither.
People like to think that just because Adrien isn’t a spoiled rich kid, that automatically means he doesn’t have any issues socializing.
The sidekick thing about cat noir is kinda true because in strike back (shadow moths last attack part2) the people of Paris only said ladybugs name and they didn’t say his name so that kinda proves it that they see him more as a sidekick than an actual hero
It hurts. 😩
no that was so awful 😭
This, every point you've made about Adrien's life style made me realize why he's my favorite character in the show, whether in or out of the mask. Adrien is the one with the most problems , or at least, the one with the most serious problems, in the show, and that makes for a more interesting character. An absent mother, an abusive father, a partner that fail to show her true appreciation and feelings, and a lack of social cues; he's the one out of the duo with a personal stake in the battle against Hawkmoth, he's the one who has something to lose or gain depending on the outcome, it just makes me wish he was the main character instead of Marinette.
I just wish they we’re both actually equal
Yeah, Adrien would've been so much more interesting and compelling as the main character. But nope, Marinette is Astruc's prized character so I imagine he does as much as possible to give her more screen time than Adrien.

The fact that Adrien/ Chat noir had to think about the question ‘would you really think he take it out on his son?!’ shows that Adrien doesn’t know if his father feel any sort of family bond with him. He was unsure if his father would take it out on him like that or not. Ladybug/ Marinette is shocked when she asks the question ‘would you really think he take it out on his son?!’ She thinks this because she simply finds it astonishing that a father could care that less about his son or daughter as she knows her father wouldn’t ever do anything like that. This comment just adds more points to the video and also shows, once again, that Gabriel is a horrible father.

@@summerthebeagle I guess, SO, HAWKMOTH YOU GONNA GO TO JAIL FOR LIFE
12:57 You mention here that Adrien’s never had a healthy relationship before, but we have to remember that it’s implied often that his relationship with his mother was positive, as well as his sibling like friendship with Chloe in their early childhood, but this honestly still supports the point you’re making here. The only positive relationships he DID have ended up being negative somehow. His mother died and he’s pretty much betrayed by Chloe when she sides with Hawk Moth, showing her “true colors” (I still really hate that the writers did that to Chloes arc) so both relationships take on negative connotations. Moreso in regards to his mother’s death, as it can be believed Gabriel’s abusive behavior started to surface after her death.
Edit: also I don’t necessarily think Gabriel akumatized himself to make Adrien feel guilty (though it could be part of it tbh) but instead supposed to throw off suspicion that he could be Hawk Moth. I believe in The Collector, Adrien discovered something that could lead to suspicion of Gabriel.
i personally think chloe was not a good example for him. most of the time they saw each other he was trying to get away from her & upset by her behavior so i’m not sure i’d call it a good relationship. & after wishamker (spoilers!!) we know BOTH of his parents played a part in his manipulation and abuse so emile was probably just the lesser evil of the two, i wouldn’t exactly call that positive either he probably just saw that as normal and decided that his mom was a great person bc at least she wasn’t like gabriel
miraculously untalented Oh, I meant in their childhood! Adrien mentions a few times that he and Chloe grew up together and she wasn’t as mean and selfish back then. When I said Chloe was one of his only positive relationships in his past, I meant at a time when Chloe was not yet a bad person
agree, tho i honestly don’t think chloe was ever a good friend. even as a little kid she was probably toxic and controlling toward her friends. also we don’t know for sure if emilie was as good of a person as she seems….at least she seems to have been better at parenting than gabe, but that’s a pretty low standard lol
I definitely don't think he akumatized himself specifically thinking "how can I mess up my son??" But it definitely became a crazy, abusive moment. Abusers more often than not don't intend to abuse, they don't usually wake up thinking "how can I psychologically mess with this person?" In Hawk Moth's case, he is doing what he can to run his business, be hawk moth, and bring back Adrien's mom, all whilst keeping suspicion off of himself. In the process, he's doing his part to feed into akuma opportunities and seek perfection.
And that's why Adrien/Cat Noir is my favorite since day one
YEP!
I don’t know, but I hate they way that ladybug treats Cat noir. Like when any one else makes a mistake she’s mad but more understanding, but throughout the whole show, she always treats him like a sidekick and really, she’s rude and pretty harsh towards him. Don’t get me wrong I love our girl but her personality changes so much towards cat noir and it’s pretty bad.
Exactly
🥺
I agree
It's like she's so used to being mean when he's flirtatious that she's just become mean in general. And on top of that, she expects things to go a specific way when in reality, there are infinite possibilities! So what if Chat Noir _did_ stay in Paris? He couldn't have cleaned the sentimonster feather and he couldn't have reversed the damage. LB likely wouldn't have been able to get to Paris in time because, as we saw in the siren episode, she swims at a normal speed. Even with her flight power up, it would've taken a few hours. LB really didn't think her plan through and she just expected things to fall into place and be okay.
