Talk:The Wall Between Us/@comment-38506271-20191023015149/@comment-38506271-20191105062224

Hmmm... I guess the thing with my theory then is that it relies heavily on the assumption that following the season 3 finale, the love square will never return to the way it was. It REALLY looks like the alternative ships are going to be canon, at least for a while, and afterwards it would feel weird if Marinette just reverted back to liking Adrien and Adrien back to Ladybug without a push of some kind (such as Adrien noticing Ladybug behaving nervously around him as Cat and realizing she finally returns his feelings). It just feels off for them to at any point be like "Oh, the whole thing in the finale is gonna go back to not affecting the ships. Square one people!" Even if it's just until the love square begins to reverse.

As for the nervous around Adrien thing, that just seems to be how she behaves around crushes in general. There's no reason she wouldn't behave in a (slightly muted) version of these actions around Cat if she were crushing on him, floundering over some of her words like she did with Adrien.

Lastly, it seems off for him to be talking about Ladybug AND Marinette in this song, if you think about it. To explain, let's say that every part that he mentions the wall, the "us"s and "she"s are about Ladybug because there's no reason for a wall to be between him and Marinette and the wall seems to be referring to his and Ladybug's alter egos. Then, every part he does not mention the wall let's say is Marinette, excluding, of course, the weird part with the "feel unfaithful" line. When you think of it like that, he goes from "Marinette's kinda cute" to "No I should be in love with Ladybug" to "if only I could see who Ladybug is" to "AHHH! Who do I like???" to "I love Ladybug so much, my love for her is infinite." Idk, it just seems weird and overly back-and-forth. Like, almost separate topics back-and-forth.

Btw, I am really enjoying this. I was hoping to be able to talk this out with other theorists by posting my theory here, and this is great!
