YMMV / What the Cat Dragged In

• Harsher in Hindsight:
  • Nick Fury's fear of the potential consequences of a SHIELD agent with vital top secret intel getting akumatized ended up bearing fruit in canon with "Backwarder", where Hawk Moth akumatized Master Fu's old lover by complete chance and she promptly volunteered extremely damaging information to him.
  • This fic analyzes how Ladybug and Chat Noir's Wake Up, Go to School & Save the World routine would absolutely wreck their personal lives, unnerving everyone discussing it (especially Tony). The duo would eventually suffer the effects of this in canon; in particular, their inability to tell anyone they're heroes ended up costing them their romances with Luka and Kagami, respectively.
  • Tony's analysis on Hawk Moth's theoretical Motive Decay proved to be chillingly accurate in light of the season 5 premiere, which saw the villain squander a golden opportunity to achieve his stated objective in order to pursue revenge against Ladybug.
  • One of the discussed reasons as to why Nick Fury refuses to allow the Avengers to help with the Hawk Moth problem is that the mere thought of any of them (especially the Hulk) being controlled by Hawk Moth is the stuff of nightmares. Not only does Tony's akumatization prove him right, but one of Miraculous' specials saw Hawk Moth manage to take control of a New York-based superhero team partly based on the Avengers and cause apocalyptic mayhem as a result.
