Okay, something I wanted to say about Marinette...
Clearly, there's no longer any way to define what Marinette feels for Adrien as love. In fact, if you disregard all the moments where she acted with an extremely obsessive attitude towards Adrien, you could consider the London special as the breaking point for considering that.
Don't get me wrong, but it's extremely worrying that Marinette said she would consider sacrificing herself for Adrien if necessary. Didn't she think about how her parents would feel? The rest of her friends? All this because of a boy she's only known relatively recently? Okay, maybe I'm being a little harsh, but, gosh, how can you say that the life of someone you know so superficially is more valuable than your entire life, disregarding your entire history with your family and your other friends, whom you certainly know in a more substantial way?
The worst part is that sometimes I feel Adrien is also developing a dependence on Marinette, because he sees her as an extremely important support system and someone who can cope better with the grief. It's very sad to see how dishonest she's being. I don't think her relationship with Adrien would have worked out anyway, but the lie about Gabriel was definitely what doomed their relationship.
I hate how they tied Marinette's character down to Adrien to this degree. I can understand young love but Marinette has only known Adrien for a year yet the show is treating him like her life-line.
I feel cheated out of Marinette having episodes that don't revolve around Adrien in some way or another. These are my personal thoughts though and the writers could surprise me. Marinette has a lot of potential that gets uprooted by other characters like Adrien, Alya, and Chloe throughout the series.
