So as always after something THAT POWERFUL I'm still in processing mode and I'm also glad that I'm still alive because there were really many moments when I thought my heart would stop but what I can say for sure is that in my opinion THIS IS THE BEST SPECIAL EVER. If I could , I'd probably take a screenshots of the entire episode xd I'm madly in love with good Gabe's opening (his singing and whole style although the first time I was like ???? what's going on here ???) and his character in general. And Ubiquity? Hello this style fits Alya so much. And when we talk about Alya - HER FRİENDSHİP WİTH MARİ 😭😍 İ wanna have what they have. And the part where Mari recalled the beginning of school and about Alya being a good person - CRİED. But it was emo Marinette/ Shadybug who completely stole my heart in this special (btw my heart is truly in pieces after scene where Shadybug read Marinette's diary, when she started crying, when she saw her face in pieces of glass and, above all, Shadybug's conversation with Marinette and of course Claw Noir's conversation with Adrien especially ,,İ know'' and Adrien's expression there 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭).

I also really liked the scene where Hesperia turned Cat Noir into Celesticat, Ladyfly and Ladybiquity (Hatsune Miku is that you?) design and Monarch & Ladybiquity interdimensional fights (the way they presented them was both epic and hilarious XD and Stephen Starange likes this). Oh and Ladyfly and Cat Noir's acting XD. Aand whole team's ,,pound it'' ❤️

And another thing - The Supreme. I really want to know who he is. After some thought, my brain made me think it was Lila/Cerise and another alter ego of hers considering what Gabe said about Supreme - it sounded like Lila to me. But on the other hand, I have a great feeling that it has something to do with the season finale and Gabriel's "read my heart". I don't think an ordinary villain would have the power to prevent Tikki and Plag from merging into Gimmi. Maybe this also has to do with the fact that Gabriel had a feeling that one day the truth might come to light (what happened in the season finale), which is why he wanted to prevent others from summoning Gimmi. Perhaps 'read my heart' referred not to one wish but literally to 'read', i.e. everything that was 'written' there. I hope it has some to do with finale and that we will find out in next season.

Anyway, it's going to be a sleepless night for me because of all these emotions, but I'm very satisfied with this special episode 😁

There are an infinite number of universes. One where we’re all animals, one where we’re all the opposite sex and another where we’re all probably rocks with googly eyes glued onto us! Despite the differences the one thing that stays consistent is the formulaic structure of the world. This is what we call the “multiverse” and sometimes, one universe can overlap with another and that’ll cause a glitch in the matrix. How do we fix this? Let’s jump in and find out:

Miraculous World

*Paris:Shadybug and Claw Noir-Formerly called “Into the Re-verse”, this special takes place in “Paris, France”😉. More importantly, after the events of “Destruction” (love the continuity there, keep it up, don’t disappoint us) where Monarch, in his desperate attempt to escape, forced Cat Noir to cataclysm his arm. Adrien was shoken up by it as he could’ve killed someone, Marinette was feeling unsure of her situation with failing to save the Kwami’s and Gabe was lamenting about how to deal with his life now having a short time limit which would eventually lead to him making drastic measures as we saw in Season 5. It gets more complicated when Ayla suddenly transforms into Ubiquity, a kamikotized superhero who can open portals to multiple universes through her cape, and meets Betterfly (the English Dub of Hesperia) who saves Marinette from Shadybug and Claw Noir who are after his miraculous! Now, Betterfly teams up with Ladybug and Cat Noir while Shady and Claw team up with Monarch! Don! Don! Don!

Pros:

The Reverse Alignment-Everything is backwards! Our heroes in here are the dastardly duo with a cold and vicious emo aesthetic (as such, I will refer to Shadybugs alter ego as “Emonette” and Claw Noirs as “Emodrien”) and the villain is the humble hero who’s all big smiles and righteousness using the Butterfly Miraculous for good intentions like its supposed. Wow! (AU Gabe/Betterfly even got his own theme song opening before the Miraculous World openings!! XD). Although, it’s not all backwards (see Con below), AU Alya, Nino and Max (was that Max on a computer screen digitized or a robot version of him swapped with AU Markov? Idk?) are still the good natured people we know, they’re just aiding Betterfly (as this universes Resistance) since he’s the good guy in that world. Despite being the hopeful hero, AU Gabe is still unfortunately a neglectful parent to Emodrien, but that’s only cuz it’s how Marinette/Ladybug has to reluctantly make weird excuses and run off to save the world disappointing their loved ones. Classic superhero angst. The “love square” for Emonette/Shadybug and Emodrien/Claw Noir is vastly different from our OG love square. They can’t stand each other, but reluctantly work together! In this case, Emonette/Emodrien is a reverse Adrienette (on his side), Shadyclaw is a mutual hate (he calls her cockroach), Emonette/Claw Noir would be an open unrequited crush on Claws side and Shadrien would be a mutual hate too. So, is this a “hate square” now? Judging by what we heard from Shadybug (see Con below), we could guess how the AU love square isn’t the same or as reversed as much as we thought it was. Wish we could’ve gotten to see the rest of the cast reversed. I had a little theory on that https://www.tumblr.com/whenimgoodandready/730004586659725312/miraculous-paristales-of-shadybug-and-claw-noir but due to the limited time we had and the plot to get through, we the fandom can only imagine. Oh well! That’s the fun part!😁.

New Transformations-In addition to seeing Alya become Ubiquity, she was dressed all in purple with a galactic theme and her cape being the highlight of the look that had the most effect what with the portal traveling, our heroes got kamikotized (the good counterpart to akumatized) to become other hero types like how Cat Noir became Celesticat and Ladybug became Ladybiquity! Celesticat was like this all white archangel type that saved Betterfly and Ladybug with his flight. Before Ladybiquity, Ladybug became Ladyfly (with AU Gabe’s miraculous) and looked amazing as a red/purple glossy ladybug with wings! Ladybiquity was the best as she had long purple pigtails and glowing white spots that made her travel through multiple dimensions. Betterfly also became Guardian Angel with Ladybugs highly elaborate plan to help stop Monarch from attacking them. He was another all white angelic type, but mostly covered in feathers. He looked alright.

More Universes-In addition to the good guys are evil and vice versa, we got other universes of The Quantic Universe such as:The Scarabella and Kitty Noir Universe, The PV Universe (😁), The Comic Book Universe (Lol! That was funny!) and the Mister Bug and Ladynoir Universe! Although brief, it was all fun to see (wish we got more though). Lol! Monarch thought if he couldn’t get his universes heroes miraculouses, he’ll try others (w/ the clock ticking for him, I don’t blame him. The man is f*cking desperate!), but even in those universes, Ladybiquity (and Ubiquity Noir in the last universe) stopped him. It just goes to show that no matter what universe Monarch goes to, he’ll never win! Ha! Ha! :P……..(remembers the Season 5 ending of the show) OH F*CK!😠

Cons:

The Supreme-WHO THE F*CK IS THAT!? THERE’S NO “SUPREME” IN OUR UNIVERSE!? WHERE DID THEY COME FROM!? WHO IS IT!? WHAT IS IT!? AN EVIL VERSION OF MASTER FU!? WTF!? It was like this “invisible force thingy” that controlled everything the miraculouses did! From giving Shady and Claw unlimited use of their powers (and being more effective in a destructive sense. Claw was immune to Cats cataclysm!😱) to silencing the Kwami’s mouths shut! THEY EVEN CONTROL THE USE OF COMBINING THE LADYBUG AND BLACK CAT MIRACULOUSES! DON! DON DON! Yea! Like that! The Supreme just didn’t want someone to be more powerful than them (Emonette/Shadybug tried to use the two Miraculouses to have Marinettes life). The Supreme was even slowly killing the two of ‘em too just to drain them of their energy. Whoever this “Supreme” is, they’re an all mighty evil being that’s power hungry and doesn’t like competition. Saaaay! Was that the “strange glowing blue light” we saw at the end of Season 5 that scared the sh*t outta Lila/Cerise/Iris? Hmmmmm.

Identical Chloe-It seems as though even in an alternate universe ((mumbles under breath) and maybe even in the others we briefly saw), Chloe is STILL a mega b*tch! (Astruc must really hate this girl!😖). Is AU Chloe worse in this universe!? Is she emo too!? IS THERE NO UNIVERSE WHERE SHE’S A F*CKING DECENT PERSON!? (neighs like a horse) Guess we had to have some reason for Emonette to turn evil!? It wasn’t just AU Chloe though, other things pushed Emonette to her limit that made her cross over to the dark side and AU Chloe was just one of ‘em. As explained by Emonette, those other things that turned her were a lack of encouraging friends, a non loving and caring mother and being painfully single. Yeah, that oughta do it too! It’s why she wanted to use her combined miraculous with Claws to switch lives with Marinette and finally be happy. Poor girl 😢

So this was our “Spider-verse” esque special and how canonly that universe works. We’ve had our own versions (see my link above) where maybe Shadybug and Claw Noir would be a villainous flirty couple (like how I wanted), or that the love square would be reversed from our own, but this is what we got, Emodrien/Claw Noir only loving Emonette (probably cuz he found someone with the same sense of style/culture whom he can relate his pain to) and Emonette/Shadybug loving nobody! (the reason Emonette never fell for Emodrien is because she assumed he was exactly like AU Chloe and Emodrien was too shy to even talk to her!). From the intell we got, we can piece together why this is the way it is:Both of ‘em suffered terribly from their experiences (Emonette from AU Chloe’s bullying and etc. (see Con above) and Emodrien from losing his mother) just like their good counterparts, but they didn’t have supportive friends (or a loving parent/wise guardian Master Fu) to help them cope and move on and because of that, they became miserable, lonely, insecure, broken and hopeless and thus got influenced by The Supreme when they sensed the teens negative energy to become ruthless villains that lash out at the city and each other. Marinette/Ladyfly had to talk some sense into Shady by telling her to never give up hope and be a better person. As for Gabe/Betterfly, my theory was correct that like OG Adrien, he learned to move on and continue to be happy and try to be a good parent to Emodrien, but Emodrien, like OG Gabe/Monarch, did not. Glad I guessed that!👍. It took Adrien/Cat Noir to encourage him to move on and be happy by making friends like “their” mother wanted. The universe they came from was ruled tyrannically by The Supreme who hoarded all the miraculouses that no one knew the existence of and AU Gabe was at first siding with The Supreme and given the Butterfly and Peacock Miraculouses (you get where this is goin’) and so then he became the first superhero to fight against them (and prove that a better life is possible) and Shadybug and Claw Noir whom The Supreme recruited to capture him and get back the Butterfly Miraculous. Everyone is running scared af (did you see how scared AU Nino was!?) over there where it got so bad that the AU Resistance was formed to help Betterfly. Seriously though, who the f*ck is this Supreme!? Why do they have all the miraculouses!? Where’s Master Fu in that universe!? Or the guardians!? Why are they so damn powerful!? Can anyone tell me that!? Are we gonna get more info on this or are we just supposed to theorize again? Huh!? Fortunately, Shadybug and Claw Noir were redeemed (now called (AU) Ladybug and Paw Noir and maybe starting a romantic relationship😏) and are now gonna help Betterfly save their universe from The Supreme. Good luck with that! That sh*ts gonna be tough to beat! My apologies on this review taking forever cuz life got in the way (and I was lazy), but I’m relieved I finally got it done and will see you all for the London special and Season 6 (with its new animation) later this year!
