I actually kind of disagree. For me, I thought it was wrong for Marinette to just decide on "giving Cat Noir a break" without even speaking to him (I don't even know how she thought Cat Noir would think anything other than he was being replaced or that she could even predict that he won't show up, but that's a whole 'nother argument altogether).

Not to say that what Marinette did wasn't considerate, and it could've just been a case of a misunderstanding. Happens all the time. You do something to be nice, but don't realize how it might look or how the recipient might take it.

But the thing that gets me is the ending.

Ladybug didn't even apologize or even acknowledge that what she did hurt Cat Noir. HE is the one who apologized, and all she did was make excuses and give the worst consolation I'd ever heard: "Just because I don't need you all the time doesn't mean I don't need you at all."

Just sounds like deflecting blame to me.

What did you think if the episode kuro neko? For me it was peak „Lady//noir toxicity“, how LB yells at CN and then CN abandoning his position as one of the two most important heroes of the city only to later gaslight LB into thinking he‘s a completely different person. Even if they talked it out at the end, it was just… idk, that episode was really the nail in the coffin for the ship imo

I actually think Ladybug was pretty reasonable in Kuro Neko. She only yells at Chat Noir when he's running down her timer by keeping her from her Guardian duties even though he just missed an akuma fight, making her have to call in a whole slew of heros and defend his absence on the news. It's like the writers wanted her to look good even though she's supposed to be the source of season four's conflict, I think? Idk, the writing is just a mess.

I've talked about how the communication issues in that episode and it lead up drive me up a wall, but I don't think I've talked about how messed up it was for Adrien to come back like that. It was a dick move for sure. However, I mostly lay the blame on Plagg and Tikki's shoulders because Plagg is the one who came up with this idea and Tikki let him go through with it. They're supposed to be the mentors here and they are failing their Chosen hard in this episode and season four in general. Just terrible writing no matter how you look at it. I have no idea what the writers were aiming for in this episode. It was like a tiny preview of how much they were going to mess up with Kwami's Choice in season five.

When a hero quits, you're supposed to show the audience that no one can take their place because of who the hero is. Instead we get told that Catwalker was perfectly fine, but Ladybug can't handle competence without falling in love? And Kwami's Choice basically said that Adrien and Marinette could be easily replaced if it weren't for the Aliance rings. I just... this is a classic, beginner-level trope. How do you mess it up this badly?

Bruh.

I'm with you. Catholic here, and oh my Lord.... Please, let this not be true. Let it be ragebait or something else, just not true.

Just popping in to remind you that asstwat has publicly stated that Jesus was a miraculous wielder. Not the ladybug though, he made sure to mention that

Trust me, I’ve been holding back my catholic indignation
