I really loved Kagami in Riposte, and I was cool with her and Adrien maybe getting together, but I don’t know after watching Frozer, because I really don’t like how Kagami acted.
At first I didn’t like her behaviour after they came to the skating rink; before it was okay and her telling Adrien to switch target (implying he should focus on her) was fine, especially if she thought Adrien was wasting time on someone who didn’t love him.
Then, when the ending came, I interpreted Kagami’s words to mean that she wanted Adrien to focus on Marinette, which would mean her behaviour was because she was trying to get Adrien and Marinette together.
However, I read a tweet from one of the people working on the show that Kagami did mean that Adrien should change target to Kagami, and that she thought Adrien was in love with Marinette and that Marinette wasn’t worthy of Adrien.
This, to me, paints Kagami as a really unlikeable character, especially seeing as she had a tendency to push Adrien throughout the episode, in a way that makes it seem like she doesn’t like him for who he is, but who she seems to think he should be? This is just my opinion though, and I admit I could be wrong.
It’s just hard because, as I wrote above, I really liked Kagami in Riposte and wanted to see her return, and maybe even get together with Adrien for a while or, even more ideally, get a crush on Chat Noir since he hasn’t had anyone have a crush on him yet.
On a side note, according to the episodes’ production code, Frozer takes place before Sandboy, and I think it’s nice that after hearing Adrien say he might have feelings for Kagami, Marinette’s biggest fear is still Adrien having feelings for Chloe, meaning that she would be alright with Adrien getting together with Kagami (heartbroken, yes, but she wouldn’t see it as the end of the world). I guess I’m just not personally okay with that.
On a related note, Chat Noir was also acting really pissy in this episode. I praised him in Glaciator for taking Ladybug’s rejection with grace and maturity, but then he started acting like a total brat, and that was even after he thought about maybe going for Kagami instead
Overall, Frozer was an okay episode, but it just had a lot of things I really didn’t like; mostly when it came to Kagami’s and Chat Noir’s characterization
