Do people lack empathy and appreciation for superheroes in fiction ?
So ... Today I remembered a day when I went into a new library close to where I lives and when one of the seller offered to inform me about anything I needed about the book in the library, I started asking about Batman and Spider-man comics, which are my favorite (along the Batman/Super-man cross over, the Justice league, the spider-verse and when Spider-man also have cross-over with deadpool and x-men)
And at some point I started talking about how I wish that I could find comics about parallel stories of Batman and Spider-man that I once found and read online, and where the heroes aren't getting traumatized and tormented non-stop and can still enjoy happy and silly moments with their loved ones. Because this is something that started bothering me in the main Amazing spider-man comics continuity happening on earth 616, and the last main Batman serie comics which started in 2016 (I don't remember the name of the earth from that serie, Earth-one I think)
And then I thought about Miraculous Ladybug, about how the ML writters seem to go out of their way to make Marinette and Adrien suffer, while the narrative seems to also set a lot of the blame on Marinette when she doesn't deserve all that pain and hate.
So I asked the seller why superheroes authors couldn't give more a more balanced life to heroes characters, with their downfall but also their happy moments, and why it seems like things always end badly for famous heroes like Spider-man and Batman. Can you guess what he replied to me ?
"Les gens aiment voir les héros se relever, mais ils aiment encore plus les voir sombrer".
Traduction "People love to see heroes rise again, but they love to see them sink more"
And I was like : "0_0 .. WTF ?!! Why would people be so heartless and cruel enough to want to see good heroes get tormented non stop ? How can it motivate anyone to be heroic if the more famous fictitious superheroes constantly get beaten down for trying to do the right thing ?"
That's a depressive reality really. Fortuntaelly I' not the only one who's tired of seeing heroes like Peter Parker and Bruce Wayne be miserable and walking trauma mess, some people on Tumblr would also like to give those two a more happy ending.
Just like I'm sure many of us would love to see Marinette not being constantly threatened to have her life destroyed and ruined by secrets she feels forced to keep because no one ever tells her otherwise, or by jealous psycopath supervillains who have nothing better to do in their life than being poor excuses of human beings.
We've since got the confrmation that season 6 of Miraculous is gonna hurt more than season 5, and to me it means that maybe some of my worst fears about Lila's future strategies to ruin Marinette and Ladybug's lives may turn out to be true 0_O
Lila/Cerise made it very clear at the end of Re-creation that she was gonna go Marinette with ill-meaning intentions, and the psycopath liar may unfortunatelly be half successfull to make Marinette's miserable by the end of season 6 if the ML writters want to satisfy all of those who like to see heroes suffer beyond their breaking point T_T

Hello Queen of Marinette sugar ! I've been following you for a while and I love what you d :) So I wanted to ask your opinion on something. You've probably already answered this question before, but I wanted to know if you think Marinette and Adrien's classmates are good friends to Marinette ? I also wonder what you think of Alya reguarding her friendship with MArinette, is she such a good friend and ally to her in season 4 ? Do the bible spoilers for season 5 (which I haven't fully read) show Marinette's friends in a good light or not ? For my part, I am aware that Marinette's friends have evolved into very good people, but the lack of faith confidence they have in Marinette eerytime her crush with Adrien or Lila are involved, and the fact that they left her alone against Chloe for years before Season 1 leaves a sour taste in my mouth. Personally I would rather be buddy buddy with people like that, but certainly not friends. Am I too harsh on them ?
(ANSWER CONTAINS BIBLE SPOILERS)
I always try to explain myself over that and I always write big posts on that but I don't have to. I explained a lot about this already but if you want to know according to bible (BIG SPOILERS!!!!) Kagami will believe Lila that Marinette is a manipulator and the class will apparently vote Lila for the class president and Marinette will no longer be in that position.
I really REALLY hate it even more and I hope this will change but apart from bible spoilers, I think they are good friends and this is the only thing that's wrong about them and the only thing I don't like. I really don't and I can't pretend that I do. But otherwise I think they are good. But I'm still waiting for that apology now that Adrien confirmed that Marinette was indeed right about him.
The reason why I'm salty over this us not just my personal experience, it's not just my love for Marinette, it's my policy that if the third person is causing trouble in your relationship (whether if it's friendship or romance) that means your relationship was never that strong in the first place because if it was your friend/lover or whatever they would be on your side and no one could separate you because they wouldn't surrender that easily. I'll NEVER forget one time in school when my classmate accused me of something really bad and the whole class was angry and he said that to our teacher and my teacher didn't even blink before saying "do all of you REALLY think she would do such a thing?" and everyone got quiet and one of our classmates was like "but he (that classmate of mine) said that she did it" and my teacher was like "so what if he said that?" and OH MY GOD ONE OF THE FEW PEOPLE IN MY LIFE WHO DESERVE AN AWARD! I can't explain the feeling! I thought I'll get punished but she knew me for years and she was the only person I could really trust at the time. Also another example: when that cousin of mine who ruined my childhood told my mom I did something bad to her (that cousin and I used to argue a lot so it was kind of believable) and my mom was angry and I said "how come you trust her but you don't trust me?" and my mom took a few seconds and asked "did you really do that?" and I told her the truth - that I didn't - and she took my side. And I don't know it just made me feel a lot better to know that I'm not alone even if they don't have a material proof - they have me - I am the proof.
And I'm so sick of post like "Alya is not Marinette's guardian dog" I'm not asking Alya to kill Lila nor do literally anything about it, just trust Marinette. That's all I've been asking from her and the rest of Marinette's friends. And I know everyone is like "BUT THEY LISTENED TO MARINETTE THEY GAVE A HER A CHANCE TO EXPLAIN HERSELF" and when she explained they still didn't believe a single word so that's equivalent to nothing.
So like I said before, I don't hate them and everyone makes mistakes, but this mistake is happening in every season and every time it hurts more and more because Marinette trusts them more and more with each episode but they still don't trust her fully. But otherwise they are better friends than mine were that's for sure but this is just something that I hate about them. You can't like everything about every character.
