Oh wow, it's almost like Felix has been associated with balls since the beginning

It's almost like he was shown to be uncannily good at meeting his targets

And his aim is calculated and precise

And that he had never failed to touch his target

Except once

EXACTLY, you get it, Selkie you're so big brained

And guess what, the same episode where Felix outsmarted Gabriel and found his identity is also the same episode where every other character in the show had pinned Adrien as the maiden in the tower, who needed to be saved, which was right, but they didn't have the entire story, because Adrien is the princess who deserves to be saved, but also the knight who saves others.

In fact, Marinette brought it up in Risk again, how Adrien needed a knight to save him (little does she know she had already done more than enough by hearing out Adrien when he opened up to her, she was his knight in the dodgeball dungeon jeksolal)

Adrien keeps on getting underestimated, by everyone, his father, his cousin, (but Ladybug in a non-malicious way OVERestimated him because she believed he was that invulnerable and resilient and incapable of breaking down) and he's kept on proving them wrong in small and big ways that have gone unnoticed. Gabriel has no idea his son declared that he has no intention of becoming cold and withered like him. Felix has no idea his cousin caught on to his plan before anyone else did. And most of all Adrien, after an entire season believing that he was good for nothing, proved himself wrong when he supported Marinette, Ladybug, Nino and Alya in several episodes by being their knight, all while still being trapped in his father’s tower. He was literally the last one standing in the end.

Marinette unlocked her full potential as a guardian and hero this season, and her failure doesn't erase it one bit. I believe the same is going to happen to Adrien in season 5, and the key to him unlocking his full potential is Felix himself.

Felix dosen't see to think much of Adrien.

This is always a mistake.

It does make one wonder how long Adrien has felt the need to wear a mask around Felix. And why.

(And that's really, really sad.)

Oooh I hadn’t caught this, but yeah. I WANT Felix underestimating Adrien to blow up in his face, and for everyone else to realize that YES, Adrien needs help, but he’s also capable of making his own decisions, taking actions for himself as well - he’s not just waiting around for everyone else to save him, and should be involved in any plans that are meant to help him.

This is fascinating. Felix's precision is what MADE him win in the end of Season 4, ,but I wonder if Felix "going easy" on Adrien is going to come bite him later on. Adrien is beginning to come out of his shell, realizing that he indeed does not want the life his father wants for him. Felix knows that, but I think he is underestimating the anger Adrien is carrying inside. This is the most emotional Adrien has been about his abuse situation, and Felix is overlooking this. Once Adrien understands the importance of his freedom, he and Felix are going to confront, and Felix is going to be shaken by this. I just wonder what/how is going to be the straw that breaks the camels back. Adrien is already pretty angry with his situation, but it isn't enough yet, he does not have control of his amok yet. Once he does, he is going to have a revelation that is not just going to shock Felix, but everyone around him, and I am excited to see Adrien overcome his fears and doubts!
