[The Eclipse's Universes] EXO's Comeback Rumors Thread 2019

[Anki_tao]

Really neat summary thanks anki

 

 

Thanks i was bored 

Oh I realized... ETUI did not do BOA's Camo but DOMCAKE did... whatever. I like the Camo video

I used to think I'm as bored as you, searching for news in twitter, but you've taken it to another level 

 

I like VM Project, Blooming Day is such a good mv and song, and their past work are amazing too. So I'd either choose them or Jon. I really do like Shinee's mv this year. 

 

I like RV songs, but their mv are not my thing 

 

I also like Blooming Day and Lucky One aesthetics but the MVs needed more choreo shots. This is the con when VM Project decides to go too aesthetic. I also like LMR but the MV had so many shots per frame it was crazy

[Anki_tao]

I really liked Boa's mv, the choreo looked nice. that's what I missed in Kokobop's mv: the dance scenes. I mean they were obviously there but the way they were cut was so idk awkward? Like: oh the drop starts, here's the choreo! Jk, cut! look at the washing mashine! Then they include choreo shots when Minseok comes to the front in which there's not much dancing, then during the breakdown when there's a lot of dancing: oh look floating chairs. Like whyy, the way it was cut annoyed me so much

 

And the moment I saw Power's leaked dance practice I immediately thought of those (sometimes cringy) cameras that once sm would use all the time, the ones when the time kinda slows down and it spins too. just imagine how awesome would Jongin's solo dance break with the spin look shot like that?

The squarey format aside I liked parts of Electric Kiss' mv, it kinda moved with the song for example the moment the chorus starts Kai just comes out like BAM because the way it's shot has an impact on the viewer, or the rap parts with those attached cameras, the mv moved with how the rap sounded idk I thought it looked cool

We're getting a repack?

They could have atleast given us the Power dance practice. We were deprived of those glorious body spind by Kai

[lochnessie]

Oh god why did you remind me of the Power mv... I want to forget. The concept had so much potential... They could've given us an iconic Exordium vcr type of mv or something but they gave us whatever the hell that was lmao. I'm still bitter. Like during Exordium (and in Kokobop?) they finally managed to make the superpower concept look cool but then they just tossed it all in the trash with Power. I hope that everyone who was involved in the making of that tragic mv is experiencing sleepless nights filled with regret 

Anyway I think I'd like to see a music video that focuses more on the choreo. But I guess it also depends on what the choreo looks like. In my opinion storyline mvs get you all excited at first but they don't really have replayability. And there are so many ways they can go wrong. Like they're always either too aesthetic, too cliche or take too much attention away from the song.

Tbh I'd take a winter special album over a repack anyday. EXO repacks haven't been all that much as of recently (Growl and LMR were awesome, but Lotto and Power were kind of ehhh... at least I got She's Dreaming out of Lotto's hot mess lmao), since SM tends to get lazy with them. Not to mention winter albums are unpromoted, so the boys will also have more time to rest instead of dealing with the awful camera work and shitty sound system of the music shows. But oh well, my thirsty ass will take whatever they give me.

 

Also, part of me is lowkey hoping EXO will give this big fuck you to the media and all the shitty awards shows (*cough*MAMA*cough*) and just comeback in November/December with a sexy jazzy RnB jam plus the actual album of the year and slay everyone's asses lol (I know it will never happen but a girl can still dream).

[Goldfinch]

I love Power MV and especially styling   the noises were annoying and the song is meh, but MV was great IMHO It doesn't have to be all about drakness and mistery. ANd the styling, styling was amazing

Tbh I don't know what I want at this point... @SM Entertainment pull some unique shit with EXO... SURPRISE ME

And then maybe I will forgive the bad scheduling

Tbh there is no Christmas without an EXO comeback

 

I don't know what is gonna happen but I hope it all works out.. I am tired of worrying more than SM employees over the next comeback.

 

And yeah middle finger to MAMA and MMA and the rest.. I have no interest in voting or sitting through the boring award shows

I've lost all hope for a Christmas comeback... I'll miss the glorious winters with EXO 

I feel like we're extra anxious for this cb because of the enl*st*ng (ughhh I'm crying already), but SM is giving zero fucks lol. I'm trying to stay positive, EXO is still SM's main cash cow and, as shitty as they are, they probably still care (at least a little bit)... But with all this talk about delaying, changing, Marz bullshitting (or not, idek), my nervous system is about to combust. I miss EXO's music so damn much, I'm literally hanging by my last thread (which is probably Blooming Days, what an album, and their older discography).

 

I attempted to sit through MAMA once a few years ago and I failed lol. I only really check EXO or IU's performances (sometimes, not even that). Korean award shows suck. Also, I haven't voted for a while, I know it's not worth it, and the blatant fuckery that happened during MAMA 2017 further proves my point (the way they were so shameless about it made it even worse). I don't want EXO anywhere near those venues, they have much better ways to spend their precious time for sure.

i think repackage will be the Christmas album.

 

song wise Power wasn't what people expect from EXO but the bsides are lit. i feel like Sweet Lies was meant as a title song.

I read EXO's section of the article (since I know Korean) and it said full album, repackage album, 등 (a.k.a etc). Whereas for Red Velvet, it only said they were releasing another mini album. So, maybe we're getting a winter single instead of an album (like in 2014)? Maybe they're releasing it with the Elyxion dot live album, like they did with the Lost Planet?

i want exo's comeback mv will be something like monster. i like growl's mv too, but the whole one shot thing was already overdone, so i hope they will go through with mv similar to monster. everything is just perfect from aesthetic, the cut, the dance scene.

 

i really agree with getting rid that black/white bar thing, it really bothers me so much. full screen mv >>>>

till now i still don't get the purpose of adding the black/white bar other than to annoy me. that's why monster mv is always superior bcs it's in full screen.

 

i also feel like most SM mvs these last few years really lack replay value, hence why despite the song being a hit or popular internationally, the mv don't really have high views compared to other popular groups. i hope SM can fix this problem for exo's next comeback.

Oooh that would be cool. Maybe the overall feel of the album will fit the fall/winter? Universe wasn't very Christmassy, it sounded like an album they could've released during the fall lol. Since they're supposedly coming back during October, we might get something different this year (makes me feel better about the scheduling).

 

I was disappointed with Power as a song, I feel like it could've sounded really cool if they'd taken the production more seriously (it sounded pretty epic in the first teaser). LDN Noise has this tendency to go overboard in producing, imo he should've toned it down a bit with Power. Sweet Lies (a.k.a eargasm heaven) and Boomerang were quite great tho.

[Goldfinch]

a bit OT. but talking about songs that meant to be the title. 

Till this day I believe Hurt at some point was a strong contender to be Exodus' title track

yeah, replayability is lacking in SM's latest songs a lot. And tbh I can't point out why exactly it happens. 

BUT I would actually exclude Red Flavor, I think it was really well done and funny, I love to watch from time to time

i think it's bcs the editing is kinda messy. i noticed in SM mvs, they often shot at random objects for aesthetic purpose but they tried to fit too many of those so it ended up with too many frame changes in 1 sec which made the scene changed too fast. they really need to tone it down. 

 

wow i'm surprised u like red flavor's mv. i think of it as rv's messiest and most half ass mv lol. 

[dazehun]

I actually really like power as a song (perhaps not a title) but I listen to it a lot when I’m exercising lol and it’s pretty obvious they needed a song for the Olympics so they made it for that reason lol

I was gonna say Shindong too but I realise SJ would be busy prepping for comeback

 

I'd love Shindong too. When he did the mv for 'Falling Blossom' and the budget was $1000, he did it so well. I hope exo would use him for a ballad mv. Idk if he'd direct well for a fast paced song.

 

(I'm still sad exo couldn't join super tv season 2...its been so long since we got exo with suju in one show)

[Anki_tao]

smh our Power hatred sdjfhjksafjs

 

 

 

 

but really its a Performance song. Imagine Power but with EXO in their spacesuits dancing to the choreo..... rather than the nerf guns and the random cartoon shit that happens with the cat and the buttons.... tsk tsk so much missed potential

 

they could have given us an 8 BIT game like this to us for promo .. Look at this glorious fanmade video

 

 

 

 

That aside, the album packaging was amazing. The comic book concept was very unique and beautiful... if only SM had spaced the comebacks better, it would have sold a lot more... I hadnt even gotten my The war album delivered and they already released POM

Seems pretty plausible tbh they probably wouldn’t have time to do full Winter album anyway since they’ll probably will come out with a new jpn album in 2019 (maybe Feb)

Speaking of the comic book...

 

It says 'To be Continued' with the date SEP 17? On it?

 

 

I dont think I understand the plot of the comic... so many holes to fill....do you think they will continue where they left off? Do we have a conclusion for pathcodes and Power... is  SM even following a theory?  maybe its all just random shit with exo. 

[Goldfinch]

 

 

 

wow i'm surprised u like red flavor's mv. i think of it as rv's messiest and most half ass mv lol.

I know it's unpopular opinion, but I don't get why. Interview with fruits was genius and super fun (especially when the scene changes to girls talking to themselves or fruits talking to themselves x))) damn cool and funny), dance shot were all good and fun, shots with children too and those shots were well edited and put together... idk... On top of that the song is good~

 

 

 

 

 

I'll throw hands if they never release continuation of comicbook =| I was so sure they will release a full thing as follow up to album... Especially after all those talks about new story of EXO and reboot and such URGH.

The MV for Power maybe messy agree, but I'd keep the styling but change the MV to more dance focused or less CGI

BUT I still think it's funny and fun, and unique too. :<

 

Packaging - no words, excellent

they honestly left too much to our imagination

main point I think I am right about - Power!Baekhyun is somwhow connected to comicbook EXO and their story...

What was in the truck? What went wrong? What happened to Power!Baekhyun?

 

 

DAMN DOUBLE POST IM SORRY

 

also I created a whole ass story in my head and have several variants of possible plot MVs connceted to their Mama/Queen, Tree Of Life, Mama MV, their life on Earth, Red Force, Overdose-Lucky One

 

BY THE WAY, do you think LuckyOne facility is just another universe' Overdose maze or Overdose=LuckyOne and in Overdose they were just on crack and saw it as creepy hollow maze.

In my opinion it's different universe. In each of them Red Force is trying to capture EXO and take their powers. But in Power it was easier bc their powers were in orbs, but in Lucky One the powers are inside them so RedForce had toexperiment on them.

 

 

Also maybe in some universes RedForce is actually Earth's people who want to capture "objects". And maybe it's Earthlanders who follow them in Pathcode (and Monster?)

 

 

SM honestly could do so much with all this shit, creat a whole story with different Universes involved (not all mb) and then idk sell it to some animation studio to make anime lmaooo

 

and Red Force is Red Velvet

 

the problem is, there are always different directors for MVs and I doubt they would care to keep a solid plot, just hints and references (like, super powers or Red Force)

What was in the truck? What went wrong? What happened to Power!Baekhyun?

 

I really dont understand... isnt baekhyun remembering stuff that happened that night? But 'something' was wrong from the beginning?

 

 

you should watch this video.

 

According to the videomaker, the POM comic is obviously connected to the Power video. At the end of Power, Baekhyun causes a solar eclipse to reactivate everyone's power orbs and 'a new world opens up' ..... Like Baek falls into the ocean, all of them fall on earth at different locations.  Maybe this is how they arrive on earth from the EXOPlanet? And that explains the pathcodes>>> the EXO members, who have now been living with human civilisation for a while (like in the EXOrdium VCR) suddenly find their powers getting reactivated by another eclipse and reunite... and that leads to the events in the POM comic... where they are wearing their Pathcode clothes with their Power space vests?

 

Maybe the truck was a trap... (it explodes in the last page of the comic), they get captured by the enemy>>> like shown in Lucky One>>> who are the 'Red Force' and want to take away their power. Under the influence of drugs they hallucinate their suffering as a maze? i.e. Overdose... and then 'Kokobop' where they celebrate the eve before 'Monster' happens?

 

  why is everything so complicated

Yeah.... Red Velvet also has a lot of cryptic shit in their MVs tbh  .. although I dont think theres a lot of sense to Red Velvet being Red Force Theory

 

and I hope you have read PCWHY's fanfic... https://www.flipsnack.com/PCWHY/the-truth.html I feel like its very interesting take on their earthly existence theory. And its so cool to the imagine it connect with real life events hehe

ugh, wait, I forgot one detail - Baekhyun falling in water in Power MV and Comicbook(Pathcode?) are actually different. I was so sure that was Power Baekhyun too in comicbook. Here go my dreams about cryptic plot with other Power version of Baekhyun saving himself with help of Kai's orb he stole from Red Force and happened to transfer to other Universe *sight*

SM won't ever make it a story *sob* but it would be so fun. 

 

Actually I would be okay with just every MV being connected to this whole mess somehow, it's a cool thing after all.
