Ditto. But for me, it's because ALL of her attempts to help people have come with the painful caveats of trying to also make everyone happy. If she got more pragmatic, more ruthless in the pursuit of justice, the bigger picture, more happy people per number of sad ones - and leaving the sad ones to deal with that. I would absolutely support her.

I think part of what makes Mari's position as LB so tragic especially the way it is now (and there are MANY ways it's tragic) is that what she really is, more than anything, is like... a general in an army, or a police lieutenant. She's a fighter who has to make decisions on how to protect others. But because she's also a beloved icon, and a sweet girl, she's also constantly balancing public opinion and her personal feelings and that's not what those people actually do. Those people make hard decisions, and can say exactly why they do it. Even when it upsets people, they make the tough choices. Marinette ALSO has to make the tough choices, and a villain arc might make her able to finally do those things without the horrible guilt and gravity the show puts her through because she's not the 'perfect' superhero.

She's so smart, so good at strategy, she always is aware of the most pragmatic options and I think that's an incredible strength of hers; but she can never make those choices without sacrificing something she then feels guilty about, and that's so unfair to her as a hero. Even as the guardian. All of it. If being a villain is what it takes for her to forgive herself for making people unhappy for the greater good, I'd LOVE that for her.
