Look. The concept is fine. If Thomas Astruc weren't so petty over "his vision" then maybe this series would be better than the absolute DUMPSTER FIRE it turned out to be.
First of all, Chloe. Chloe is based off a bully from the creator's childhood, and she ended up getting a redemption arc in Season 2. However, it was completely destroyed in the god-awful Season 3 finale. Her superhero identity as Queen Bee was ultimately replaced by Mary Sue. No, that's obviously not her actual name, but for the sake of not over complicating things we will refer to her as such.
According to Astruc, Chloe is "irredeemable". No. Chloe is NOT irredeemable. She was neglected by her mother; while that's not an excuse it's a reason, and if she could come so far in Season 2 alone she can continue to be redeemed. If you want an irredeemable psychopath, use Lila. Didn't she try to get Marinette expelled from school?
Let's also talk about Marinette...she's a horrible protagonist. Not only does she continue to abuse her powers for her own wants and never manages to obtain any consequences for them (unless in the final season her mess-up towards Lila in SEASON 1 comes back to haunt her). She hands out the magical jewels like candy, revealed her identity to someone already (and of all people, someone who's superhero identity was revealed t the helland was akumatized TWICE), and let's not forget her stalker behavior towards Adrien. Taking pictures of him, stealing his phone, tracking what he does...think about how people would react if this was Adrien doing this to Marinette. See what I mean?? Lila Clownsi is a better character than her, and that speaks volumes.
This show is like...let's say everyone shares my opinion of Olive Garden for a minute. You go in the restaurant as a guilty pleasure to eat Italian food, and you walk out with nothing but regret that you ever ate there. That's how I feel about this show. I wish I could tell myself from 2015 that the show would just go downhill from there, because it did. Thomas Astruc in general needs to stop acting like a child and take criticism, too.
