I've been looking at this "anime" again, and once I dug my head out of the favorite moment compilation videos on YouTube I saw a lot of stuff that made things make sense that fell by the wayside.
People call Adrian clueless, but she told Adrian to his face that she doesn't like him as a love interest. Of course, it's kind of dumb for Adrian to believe that, but on the other hand why should he believe that one of his friends is lying to his face? Everything that happened was Marinette's fault, as usual.
Also, the reason why Marinette treats Chat Noir as incompetent is also explained. When Adrian got turned into glitter by style Queen, Master Fu told her that ChatNoir lost his miraculous. And it's not like Adrian could explain his way out of it, because that would have revealed his secret identity. A lot of people got turned into glitter, as well, so it actually didn't make sense to lie. In "Mr Pigeon 72" where Adrian got turned into a pigeon and Plagg just straight up told ladybug that Adrian "got feathered". And, Adrian got hit by Reflectka, and was still useful. It just adds on that there was no reason to lie about him getting hit by a villain. It can happen to anyone, and that doesn't make someone incompetent.
Side note: speaking of reflectka, it was good that they had their jewelry off, because they both got hit. That was an added into the moral of the story because of shit writing.
I also just rewatched the power swop, and the writers minimized chat noir's role. They had Adrian sympathize with ladybug but didn't have Marinette sympathize with Chat Nior. Then they had them lie about him losing his ring when they didn't have to, and didn't lie later when he got turned into a pigeon. They just worked to minimize his role to minimize his role to justify him being treated poorly. They made the guy a punching bag that I couldn't even feel bad for because he's not relatable. I just thought he was extremely troubled and dumb.
Adults writing teenagers without a teenager's perspective... BUT THEN THEY WRITE ALL THE SIDE CHARACTERS WELL! ChloƩ Bourgeois is more relatable than the main characters! I've said it before and I'm going to keep saying it! I just fully watched the Zoe episode, and Zoe is written in a relatable manner!
I'm likely to jump off the rails from here, so I'll end this post ... Asking why fans ignore details and then complain. Yeah, the writing is shit but they still wrote it.
