* Which is better: [[WesternAnimation/LadybugAndCatNoirTheMovie the movie]] or the show? Fans who believe the former is better argue that the movie managed to iron out a lot of the flaws the series' plot had and made the Love Square more interesting and believable, while fans who believe the latter argue that the show managed to explore the characters better and how the changes made for the movie were ultimately detrimental to the story as a whole.

** The Season 5 finale in particular proved devisive between fans in regards to Adrien's absence during the final fight against Gabriel as well as the fact he didn't learn the truth about his father or that he's a senti from Marinette. Some fans are quite upset, if not outright infuriated, arguing Adrien has the right to know and calling Marinette's and Adrien's relationship "toxic" because she keeps so much important information from him. Others, meanwhile, decided to withhold their judgement until future seasons, or even the end of the show, pointing out every season finale so far has also been setup for the next season.

** Their respective actions towards each other in the name of the pairing have particularly triggered plenty of arguments in the fandom. Fans are sharply divided between those who see the actions taken on both side as cute examples of harmless teenage love, those who decry Marinette as an uncomfortable case of the StalkingIsFunnyIfItIsFemaleAfterMale double standard and Cat Noir as an EntitledBastard to Ladybug's affections who refuses to take no for an answer, and those who believe that only one half of the pairing is toxic while the other is completely innocent in the matter.

** Related to the above, there's debates as to whether or not Adrien should be the main focus of the duo over Marinette. Supporters of the idea argue it would make more sense if he were the lead character since the show's biggest MythArc is connected to his family, yet he ended up barely involved in it; critics of the idea argue that he doesn't have enough personality to make for a good lead, and that he already has too much focus in the show thanks to Marinette's crush on him (with a number of her choices -- and the subsequent plots -- revolving around him somehow). Others TakeAThirdOption, saying that they don't necessarily want him to become the main focus of the show, but ''do'' wish he'd have more relevance when it comes to plots involving his family.

----* Whether Ladybug and Cat Noir are truly equal partners. Does Ladybug constantly winning battles singlehandedly and essentially becoming [[BigGood Master Fu's]] sole confidant make her too overpowered compared to Cat and thus make him unnecessary, or is their partnership perfectly fair the way it is now (since Ladybug is the only one who can purify akumas and fix the damages and thus Cat must protect her at all costs)? It doesn't help that those who think that the partnership is unbalanced can't agree whether or not Cat Noir ''should'' become privy to everything Ladybug knows thanks to his BaseBreakingCharacter status.

* Should Marinette/Adrien still be the endgame pairing at this point?

* Season 3 as a whole has been contentious amongst the fanbase, largely thanks to debates over the prominence of BaseBreakingCharacter Lila, the direction taken with Chloé's character arc, and various actions taken by both Marinette and Adrien as a result of the Love Square.

Was it a solid conclusion to the season that provided an interesting twist to the show's formula going forward, or is it a hackneyed mess of [[AssPull ass pulls]] and OOC moments?

It doesn't help that the show itself goes back and forth on it, with heroes that had their identities outed still being seen with their Miraculouses in later episodes.
* The "Senti-Adrien" fan theory -- the theory that Adrien is actually a creation of the Peacock Miraculous -- has become incredibly contentious in the fanbase. Its supporters argue that it would make for more interesting storylines surrounding Adrien's relationship with his parents, especially if he were to find out about it, and it could easily tie in to how Emilie's coma was apparently caused by using the Peacock; its detractors argue that it would rob Adrien of any agency as a character (since sentimonsters are usually controlled by whoever is holding their amok, and he could essentially be erased from existence at any time) and that there's no way it could be done without a flood of FridgeHorror implications being opened up.

* The Agreste family-centric MythArc has become heavily contentious amongst fans.
