Talk:Hawk Moth/@comment-28307002-20170315041256

So, just imagine that all the supporters of the "Gabriel Agreste is Hawk Moth" theory turn out to have been correct. What results could that for Adrien? And what about the series as a whole?

My thoughts are that the trauma of the revelation that his own father is his archenemy may diminish Cat Noir's efficiency as a superhero, causing a chain reaction that involves Ladybug noticing that her partner's performance is starting to get worse, asking him about it in a moment of cover, and some unavoidable suspicion caused by pathetic attempts at evading, lying, etc. eventually causes the two to realize who the other is, re-optimizing their team performance, plus some. In essence, HM would bring about his own defeat by revealing himself should the popular theory be proven true and word gets out in-universe.

Thoughts on this?
