Miraculous Ladybug has a problem with its writing.
The biggest problem is that the writing has this NEED to justify itself, justify its actions.
Oh Chloé not getting a redemption, lets make her so much worse than she was so we can drive the point home.
Lila is this manipulative mastermind? Lets make it so every single person believes her and she actually has multiple identities.
Gabriel is actually redeemable because his motive is saving his wife, Lets have him Monologue in nearly EVERY episode that this is the reason. Who cares if all his other actions go against this noble goal and that he only shows Adrien care when he wants to manipulate him.
Oh people are judging our stuff without seeing the end, lets make an episode (several) calling out that criticisms.
