I agree with LaRougeRaven. It wasn't the fact that she lied was what Marinette was upset about, it was what the lies were about that pissed her off. Maybe from a spectator's point of view, that lie did no harm to anyone, but in Marinette's shoes, that was a direct blow to her alter-ego and abusing Adrien's trust (even if he didn't know it).

Marinette could have handled that a lot better, I agree. Hopefully, in the second season, she is shown to hone in her emotions and use them to act rationally while still throwing some subtle shade. And it's actually a good touch that Lila didn't forgive her right away in the end. But maturity? We're talking about middle-school-aged students who are still learning the ropes in romance and in becoming real adults. She saves Paris on a daily basis. That may not excuse how she reacted, but her duties as a hero have already put more responsibility on her than she should have. Who hasn't given in to their emotions once or twice in their whole lives?

It's actually pretty comical that Lila gets so much hate based on her behavior in this one episode, but the same can be said for Marinette in getting so much flak for showing one of the more human sides of herself. That just adds to the realism of her not being Miss Goody Two-Shoes all the time.

And she didn't fall for Adrien just because he was "cute".
