The western dragons were fire-breathers and were vicious and dangerous. Meanwhile, the eastern dragons had a more benevolent nature and controled the elements of storm (water, wind and lightning), being the reason why the Dragon Miraculous is modeled after them and why it is the symbol of justice on the Prodigious.

      @@FeligamiAdrizoeSworaBunnydoll Well, it's more or less of a retcon. It had always been established that Marinette was Chloé's primary target for years. You could see in "Origins" how she feared to be at the same class as Chloé and didn't have the courage to stand up to her. All her insecurities and anxieties were all because of Chloé's bullying. And what happened with Kim could also be seen in Marinette's reaction when she met Adrien. The misunderstanding, combined by the fact Adrien was friends with Chloé, made Marinette immediately suspect of him and conclude he was as nasty as she was. The one thing that looks more like a retcon is Marinette's hidden crush on Kim and what happened between them, because we barely see any indication of the trauma up until "Derision".

    Akumas and kamikos are the same thing. Either being used for good or evil, the power of the Butterfly Miraculous is the same. The name is the one thing that changes. When used for evil (like Hawk Moth), the power is called Akumatization and uses akumas (which means "demon") which are attracted by negative emotions and turn people into supervillains. But when used for good (like Betterfly), the power is called Kamikotization and uses kamikos (which means "child of god") which are attracted by positive emotions/intentions and turn people into superheroes.

But everything changed when Marinette met Alya who motivated her to stand up against Chloé and then became Ladybug. Shadybug didn't befriend Alya, so she continued to be constantly bullied by Chloé and have no friends, making her a perfect target for the Supreme to manipulate.

    If Betterfly is a good guy in Shadybug and Claw Noir…why not ask his identity so they could take out Monarch? They just helped him with his problem without even being asked. And if he’s so fond of the world they live in, he’d more than likely answer. But even if he didn’t, they didn’t even try.
    And they were convinced he was Monarch for a good portion of the beginning, so they can’t even say “it’s clearly not AU monarch”

    2. Miraculous Tales Shanghai (The second one, kind of in the middle for me, not too bad, but not as good as the third)
    3. Miraculous Tales New York (The first one, and the worst of the bunch in my opinion, having a bunch of heroes instead of just two kind of made it confusing)

  • @elizabethvarkey4052
    @elizabethvarkey4052 4 місяці тому +8

    Friendly neighbourhood Miraculous Fan dropping in with context (and extra) also, this ep takes place between s4 and s5:
    1:40 There is a song on UA-cam where Hawkmoth sings, which is pretty cool
    1:56 Hawkmoth later became shadow-moth and then finally monarch after getting all the miraculous
    3:29 In S4, Shadowmoth successfully takes all but the ladybug and cat miraculous in his possession, following which ladybug tries to get each on back each following episode
    3:47 The reason Natalie doesn't pick up is because she and Gabe had a falling out in the show
    4:06 Gabe is going to talk to Adrien, and in the later seasons of the show, he does try, but the burn on his arm stops him. The burn was created by Chat Noir's Cataclysm when he touched Shadowmoth with it, due to which Gabe's health slowly deteriorates
    4:25 Chat Noir is very capable of destroying everything with his cataclysm, Plagg even more so (as seen in Chat Blanc)
    5:29 The rally of support is a scene from the show after Monarch steals the miraculous
    5:38 Though that's the central premise, throughout the show, ladybug also employs other swamis by assigning them temporary holders; without the miraculous, she can no longer do so.
    6:21 The dialogue is once again referencing S4, where she's down on herself for having lost the kwamis
    8:27 As you find out later, Alya Cesaire is the only one who knows everything about Ladybug; Marinette does reveal her identity in a very heart-touching way to her when she gets overwhelmed by everything in the show. Following this, Alya helps her and covers for her, especially since Marinette''s parents don't know the truth
    11:12 Now, this cleared a lot from the show because, in the show, it is said that to use their superpower (like a lucky charm) repeatedly without transforming back, they must be adults. So, explaining the mechanism explained the show's logic.
    12:23 I think the reason she said this is because she never thought she would try to save the holder of the butterfly (yk considering Hawkmoth)
    13:14 The Chat Noir hesitates because he's already traumatised a person before, feels guilt, and is scared of his powers (he also killed the robot superhero in the New York Special).
    13:52 Destroying the ladybug's lucky charm is very bad as the ladybug can't reverse the damages without it
    15:59 Dual Metamorphosis is basically when he transforms and unifies two kwamis and gets both powers, similar to other kwamis; however, such wielding is not recommended here. The power of teleportation comes from Kalki (horse miraculous)
    17:10 There is a theory that Master Fu is the supreme in the alternate universe as he was the guardian of the miraculous before he renounced his role to Ladybug
    21:53 Those would be Plagg and Tikki's true form and the one I love the most (very OP)
    23:41 He could have merged with a Kwami to make him indestructible
    24:24 We learn from Master Fu in the ep 'Feast' that a butterfly holder can deakumatised them
    26:27 To deakumatised someone, you need to either break the object in which the Akuma is or the butterfly holder had to take it back; if the specs are in another dimension, then Shadowmoth can't undo Better Fly's Akuma powers
    27:38 Shadowmoth calls Kalki (horse - portal), Mullo (mouse - power of sublimation) , Pollen (bee - venom, power to sting someone frozen) and Orikko (rooster - sublimation, power to create power)
    27:46 Wielding multiple miraculous at a time is terrible for the holder, as learnt in the show; it weakens the holder significantly, just like when Marinette used them
    29:40 Chloe has ruthlessly bullied Marinette for many years, as seen in many flashbacks in the show. She made life extremely hard for her, and later, Lila joined in as well, so Marinette has suffered a lot at Chloe's hands with little to no repercussions for Chloe (bc she's the mayor's daughter, ugh)
    30:19 The wish won't be granted with two of Ladybug's or Chat Noir's miraculous. Ladybug (creation) and Chat Nor (destruction) can only create it
    34:36 Hatsune Miku Ladybug gives me life
    34:40 These two are Scarabella (Ladybug as Alya) and Kitty Noir (Cat as Zoe)
    34:48 So technically, it won't be a cat-and-mouse game because eventually, Shadowmoth is bound to get tired after wielding many miraculous
    I hope this cleared up the doubts (I have been watching this show for many years now and love any opportunity to dive into it)
    The main message of this special is to show how Ladybug, Shadybug, Chat Noir and Claw Noir went through the same struggles: one began as a hero fighting for good, and one became a villain. It attempts to show the two ways one can go down when faced with a struggle. It is definitely one of the finer specials, and the different art styles are always a treat. The jokes of the emo heroes live on!

    I believe some time during season 4 is when Ayla finds out about who Ladybug is.
    Also in the first episode of season 5 chat noir accidentally hits shadow moth with his power and then shadow moth teleports away accidentally taking the lucky charm with him so ladybug can’t reverse that damage which explains his black arm at the beginning and so he’s basically on a time limit for the rest of season 5.

    3:18 he's had several names throughout the show - usually when he gets some sort of upgrade or wants to start over with a new identity. Hawk Moth, Shadow Moth, and Monarch are the main 3 though.
    3:25 yep, he has them all now. Shit went DOWN.
    3:52 .... or something
    3:57 yes, context would help.... a lot has happened by this point
    4:09 he does try to talk to Adrien sometimes... he doesn't always ignore him. Unfortunately though Gabriel's version of "talking" is to tell his son what to do, who to be, who to like, and in general tries to control everything Adrien does, thinks, and feels.
    4:25 as I said... shits gone down which is why Adrien is afraid of "destroying everything"
    5:37 no... she's given the Miraculous/Kwamiis to many other characters at this point. But not to keep. so they eventually get taken
    8:30 Yes, Alya knows at this point that Marinette is Lady Bug - and Marinette knows she knows. It was a whole thing. Also, this Alya has already been a superhero too. So this isn't all that new for her.
    9:42 yes.. he looks just like him and shes worried this is all some elaborate ploy of his
    10:57 ...oh you have no idea... Tiki and Plagg both are so much more than what you've seen - truly unfathomable
    21:34 yep... while in the normal universe, Marinette is the one hopelessly in love with Adrien, in that world, Adrien is the one in love with Marinette
    21:55 and thats what I was talking about earlier... lol... though, theres still more to it
    23:58 to give it back to the Supreme
    24:13 Akumatizing someone basically turns them into whatever they want... so if the want to be giants, they'll be giants
    24:25 because he's the holder of the Butterfly Miraculous - which is where Hawk moth/Shadow Moth/Monarch gets the ability to Akumatize. I think they thought because he also has the Butterfly, he would be able to disable it.
    30:20 yeah,,, remember, the Supreme holder blocked them from being able to combine their Kwamiis and make their wish. Whoever the Supreme is in that universe can't control the Kwamiis in this one.
    35:09 ...no not eternity. Holding so many Miraculous is literally killing Gabriel. And the longer he stays transformed.... so no, not eternity.
    FYI, the other movies/specials, like the Shanghai and New York specials, may be easier to watch with so many missing pieces of the story. They're a little more standalone.
    BUT, I really recommend just watching the show. Or at the very least get a list of the plot-central episodes / episodes with the tiny bits of important information and watch those in order.

So for instance, it cannot be used to control people, create, destroy, time jump, or distort powers of other miraculous abilities as those are all powers belonging to other jewels. But it does have its uses.
