YMMV / Marinette Dupain-Cheng's Spite Playlist

• Angst? What Angst?: Adrien seems to take the reveal of Ladybug's secret identity in a fairly blase manner, considering he knows he's no longer in love with Ladybug and should feel at least a bit conflicted; however, considering everything that happened right before and after the fact, he considers that tidbit of information inconsequential and even beneficial.
• Rescued from the Scrappy Heap:
  • Elements of Adrien's characterization in "Chameleon" and other episodes have made him divisive. Spite Playlist addresses this by having him realize early on that his advice didn't help Marinette, even before he learns how Lila had directly threatened her, with the story going on to address his tendency towards passive neutrality.
  • Similarly, Chloe is given a redemption arc where she works against Lila, and ultimately comes up with the plan to get revenge by turning Marinette into a real celebrity — a plan that requires her to help, support and praise the very girl she used to target herself.
