Young Justice x Encanto: Og 6’s Reactions to Watching Encanto
*In my alternative universe, Superboy and Wally have returned after S4
-Conner/Superboy would definitely relate to Mirabel since S1 him wanted Superman to recognize him, and he was very insecure about his lack of having all of Superman’s powers.
-He would feel bad for Mirabel and probably tear up at “Waiting for a Miracle.”
-Camilo would be Wally and Dick’s favorite character since he’s them if they had M’gann’s shapeshifting power.
-Mirabel would remind M’gann of herself back in S1.
-M’gann thinks about bioship whenever she sees Casita.
-Artemis would be reminded of her and Jade’s relationship (pre S4) when watching Isabela and Mirabel’s interactions.
-Kaldur would relate to Luisa and to her song “Surface Pressure.”
-Almost everyone would dislike Isabela and Abuela 10 minutes into the movie.
-Dick’s comment toward Isabela, “I knew she gave me bad vibes. She controls plants like Ivy.”
-Everyone would be upset with the family for leaving Mirabel out of the photo, especially Conner, M’gann, and Artemis.
-Antonio is instant best boy in the group’s eyes.
-Artemis sees Antonio as Lian.
-Wally and Dick laugh at the dancing donkeys in Luisa’s song.
-Wally’s reaction to seeing Bruno’s room, “Even I’m getting tired looking at those stairs.”
- Dick and Artemis are impressed by Mirabel’s parkour skills. Dick, “For someone with no training, she’s doing pretty good.” Artemis, “And people say she doesn’t have a gift.”
-Everyone has their “oh shit” face when seeing Mirabel on the prophecy tablet.
-No one is not jamming to “We Don’t Talk About Bruno.”
-M’gann finds Pepa and Felix’s relationship cute.
-Camilo’s part is Dick and Wally’s favorite part.
-Dick and Wally after hearing why everyone dislikes Bruno, “He’s literally just the messenger,” “And of course you’re going to lose your hair, male-pattern baldness is common in your 50s.”
-Constant cringing and laughing during the engagement dinner.
-Wally’s joke, “This is a worse disaster than our first missions.”
-All six of them are in the “Protect Bruno” club.
-M’gann almost cries seeing Bruno’s plate carving and his view of the dinner table. She wants to give him a big hug.
-Everyone agrees that Isabela’s redemption was not as well done, but still feel bad for her because of the arranged marriage.
-Kaldur would also relate to Isabela’s song “What Else Can I Do?” since he feels pressured to be perfect.
-The hate for Abuela grows after her outburst.
-Cheered for Mirabel when she defended herself.
-Casita’s “death” dropped the mood down fast.
-Artemis and M’gann cried at Pedro’s death because it reminded them of their partner’s “death”. Their spouses were on comfort patrol.
-The group have slightly forgiven Abuela for her actions.
-Mirabel getting her doorknob got everyone in the feels.
-All agree that the new family photo was way better than the other one.
Overall, everyone would really like this movie.
I’ve seen this theory that Pedro reincarnated as Casita, and I am currently reading a story with Pedro as Casita. I enjoy this theory since I find it sweet that the miracle gave Pedro a chance to be with his family in some ways. Also, thinking of Pedro and Mirabel having a special connection when Abuela was being harsh towards her kind of comforts me. It’s hard to explain.
And the scene with Casita protecting the family feels more powerful considering Casita as Pedro imo.
Casita as their own being isn’t bad though. I just don’t have much interest in it than the former.
Overall, Casita is an A tier character.

Psst
It’s got a channel just for Bruno
Bruno's sacrifice au.
In this au the family flees much later in life when the triplets are around fourteen. Julieta is so sick she can't move or even open her eyes. Pepa has horrendous sunburns and is constantly crying from the pain. Alma isn't strong enough to carry them both and is begging Pedro to take the kids and run while he tries to carry them all.
And then Bruno does the unthinkable, he goes to the guards hands in the air, defenceless, only hoping to slow them down. The combined grief of his family and his sacrifice allow the miracle to happen and in this version gifts are much less doled out, Pedro believes his son died because the cowards of the village refused to help and insists that his daughters and later grandchildren only use them in exchange for profit and dislikes "giving handouts to the unworthy" He is extraordinary protective of Mirabel and built her her own room insisting she is a sign that the townsfolk are unworthy of the families help. It is only after they come together that Pedro acknowledges his grief and begins to befriend the others.
A family that kills together.
Mirabel, rushes in panicking. "On no on no no no no"
Augustin "Mijita what's wrong?"
Mirabel, sobbing "I messed up, I messed up so bad!"
Luisa "I'm on it just show me the body and I'll take care of it."
Mirabel "But.."
Pepa "Shh shh darling, Tia will wash away all the evidence."
Antonio, smiling, surround by pigs "Did you know my friends can consume every part of a human other than teeth and hair."
Isa, very matter of fact, "We can bury those in my room."
Dolores, slyly "From what I've been hearing this person was planning to leave the encanto in secret for awhile now."
Camilo, shifting into multiple people "And trust me, we can make that bealivable."
Julieta, reassuringly "And if anyone asks you with me all day helping make Gelatina Negra okey."
Felix, happily "But trust me no one will ask."
Bruno, simply "And if bad comes to worst pin the blame on me, I'm already old and hated, plus everyone thinks I killed that goldfish."
Mirabel "I didn't kill anyone! I accidentally broke a hole in Casita!"
Alma "Then get the spackle and stop forcing us to come up with plans on the spot."
(The ghost of Pedro is laughing his ass off.)
Random bystander "Why is Augustine refusing to sit down?"
Antonio "Abuelita was telling everyone about how Abuelito's favorite thing to do with her was carry her around, even when she was pregnant, so then Mariano decided to pick up Dolores and spin her around and they got all lovey dovey. Then papa lifted mama up over her head and made her smile so then Camilo showed off that he could pick up Mirabel and rock her, after that Luisa came by and picked up me Tio Bruno and Isa, not to show off, she didn't know what was going on she was carrying a dresser with one hand and we were standing in the way."
Bystander "Okay but...?"
Antonio "So Tio Augustine tried to pick up Tia Julietta but while he was walking he fell into a beehive and while being chased ran to water... A jellyfish sting him on the butt."
Bystander "Ah"
Antonio "But Don't worry Tia is making nachos!"
Como seria la película con mis headcanons?
-En primera instancia, la ceremonia de isabela no sería tan dramática como la de mirabel, más bien, su relación con el abuelo se iría deteriorando por el pasar de los años
- posiblemente a diferencia de la película,isabela iría desarrollando sus poderes según la necesidad, iniciando con flores rosadas solamente, posiblemente para la entrada a la habitación de julieta iniciaría usando lianas, siendo más experimentada con esto cuando se encuentra con su madre, durante la pelea con mirabel cactus, y al final haciendo crecer todo tipo de flora
- en la ceremonia de Luisa, sería ella la que va de su mano, más cuando Agustín no llegó,descubriendo mas tarde que Antonio no lo dejaría pasar, por órdenes del abuelo
- Camilo seguiría molestando con lo de la boda,lo que provoca que mirabel juege con su don , y lo haga parecer un anciano
- la canción de en lo profundo sería por parte de Antonio,y el como tiene miedo de salir de la raya que pintó pedro,por miedo a que lastimen a un ser querido
- isabela va a preguntar que le pasó a su madre con su familia materna, al ser ellos quienes saben más de los dones, a diferencia de la de bruno,esta se ve bajo una luz más melancólica, al menos por parte de pepa, por otro lado, camilo y Dolores harían lo mismo, repetir lo que han escuchado, el pueblo hablaria de julieta como una mala madre y una bruja , camilo sería el que canta la parte del amor imposible, mirabel hace lo mismo que isabela,y canta con presunción como, su madre le prometio una vida de en sueño ,también tendríamos un reprise catado por Agustín, donde habla de como ella era una paria , y si bien el tampoco sabe porque se fue, cree que tenía una muy buena razón
- a qui es bruno el que descubre a isabela con la profecía, le ayuda a esconderla , pero eventualmente se descubre todo, sigue siendo ella quien golpea al prometido de su hermana (aún no se si quiero que sea mariano)
- se encuentra con su madre, al principio isabela esta confundida, y hasta enojada, pero descubre lo que pasa, y la perdona,prometiéndole que volverá a la casa una ves que esto termine
- al enterarse isabela que tiene que abrazar a mirabel, julieta no pudo evitar recordar a pepa y bruno
- la parte de "inspiración ", el enojo de mirabel haría a que isabela creara cactus, al darse cuenta que perdió el control trata de esconderse, pero eventualmente habla de como si bien ama a su familia, siempre quiso seguir su sueño con la música, y con forme va cantando mirabel , el poder de isabela logra crear varias plantas que isabela no sabía que podía hacer
- como dije con anterioridad, Isabela y pedro se pelean, este casi comete el error de decirle alma , la vela se apaga , y mirabel queda inconsciente unos momentos, al principio pedro sigue culpando a isabela, pero es mirabel y camilo los que le hacen ver si error
- pedro le cuenta lo que paso con alma, y sus sentimientos de como debió morir el , y como ve en isabela la mala decisión de alma al tomar su lugar
- julieta regresa con un sartén lista para defender a su hija, pero su padre sólo le abraza , regresa y se disculpa con todos por abandonar a la familia, pero es fácil perdonarla para todos , más sabiendo el contexto entero, se toma un tiempo para abrazar a luisa con amor y lágrimas en los ojos, mientras Agustín aparece para ver que paso con sus hijas , viendo a julieta y recibiendo un tan esperado beso
- todos re construyen a casita , pero esta ves va isabela a poner la perilla, pero acompañada por mirabel , de la misma forma que isabela acompañó a luisa, y todo regresa
- julieta recuperó la relación con su familia
- mirabel no se casa , y empieza su carrera musical , incluso abandona el pueblo, pero los dones de su familia solo siguen creciendo
- Agustín hace las paces con pedro, y bruno con pepa , con julieta como intermediario
- camilo empieza a salir con su crush , y junto a mirabel se van del encanto, a explorar el mundo
- Antonio y sus animales pueden descansar
- dolores de hecho le empieza a ayudar a vigilar al pueblo
- luisa ahora tiene a sus 2 padres
- e isabela paso de ser la hermana inútil , a ser una más en su familia
Recently I've seen some posts with ideas for a Coco-Encanto crossover. It gave me inspiration for making one of my own:
After Un Poco Loco was released, it became a huge success (not as big as Remember Me, mind you) which left Ernesto and Héctor with quite the amount of money. While Ernesto went to buy a big mansion for himself, Héctor decided to save half of it and spent the rest in a simple wedding & honeymoon with Imelda. Where did they go? A Colombia tierra querida, por supuesto! Let's say they were given a tour of all thermal floors and one day when Imelda was buying gifts for her family, she met Alma. What's to happen between two newlywed women? A wholesome friendship, of course (low-key with Pedro's lyrics and Héctor's melodies Dos Orugitas may have come to life, but we're focusing on the wives here). When the honeymoon was over, they became pen-pals, exchanging recipes, chismecito and pregnancy tips, but suddenly...the letters stopped coming, and Héctor left.
I know this is where everything falls apart bc the triplets are 50 and Mama Coco is 108, but ignore that detail plz
Cut to El Día de Muertos 50 years later, Mamá Imelda asks 16 years old Miguel (he was 12 in 2017) to please find whatever happened with her old friend. When Miguel and little Coco (I actually can't find a reason for letting a minor travel travel to another with his 5yo baby sister, but why not) finally find Encanto, the town has no idea what to make of the newcomers. Can they let them in? Can they let them go and risk to be exposed? The answer will lie on the Madrigal family.
I'd like it to be a story of both personal growth and Miguel and Mirabel falling in love, but I'm not sure how to make it work.
Let me know what you think!
