#Gabriel Agreste still chose to leave Adrien fatherless in this world

[familyagrestefanblog]

I think the thing I'm most upset about from the season 5 finale is the fact that even with all the power and opportunities of reality right in his hands, Gabriel Agreste still chose SUICIDE and to leave Adrien fatherless in the world.

Gabriel didn't had to kill himself. He could have chosen anything else to actually make them a happy and complete family again. To undo all the grief and pain that plagued their little family ever since Emilie fell ill.

Gabriel could have taken all that away, but no...

Now Emilie is the one grieving her spouse and Adrien is once again grieving a parent. Just this time around it's even worse because he will most likely blame himself for his father's death because Gabriel's cover story in the new reality is that he heroically died fighting by Ladybug's side because Chat Noir wasn't there and Gabriel as the only adult member of the Resistance - and most importantly kidnapped Adrien Agreste's FATHER - stepped in to help Ladybug when no one else did/could

I have.. I can't - I...

He committed suicide. Gabriel Agreste committed suicide and left a grieving wife and child behind, of whom his SON will now think his father died trying to save him and stop Monarque. Which will 100% have been in vain.

I just don't know what to say. I think this is one of the most selfish suicides I've ever seen in media. He could have done ANYTHING. He could have even changed something about HIMSELF if Gabriel was so unhappy with himself.

He had all the options here. All the power to change anything he desired about their entire reality to make them a happy family again. And he used it to commit suicide to become a martyr his grieving child can for the rest of Adrien's life wither away looking up to, trying to 'measure up' to the hero Gabriel Agreste never was but forced his son to believe to be true anyway...
