I swear LALALALA is so damn iconic, I don't like much of the bsides, only Megaverse and Comflex, so the album doesn't really surpass Oddinary, but WOW. THE TITLE TRACK SO DAMN ICONICCCC

Like, I'm so obsessed with that song. It's probably my favourite TT from them after Gods Menu.

The choreography? Iconic.
The MV? Iconic.
Pirate Hyunjin? ICONIC AS F*CKKKKKKK

Like, that type of song is DEFINETELY their thing, they should do more songs with rock-inspired stuff, they really are Rockstars, omgggggg it's so crazy to see how far they've come... I haven't been a Stay since their debut, I didn't even know about K-Pop back then, but I started stanning them in 2020 and compared to back then, they have evolved A LOT. It's CRAZY.

And damn, Hyunjins stage presence... He is so amazing... Best male idol I swear. He truly is a GOD. GOD OF PERFORMANCE

By the way, when I listened to Megaverse, I noticed something (Y'all probably already know I am the biggest Loki fan and love Marvel, and I like to link it with K-Pop for absolutely no reason lol) But the lyrics "Run along with the gods, jumping between every verse
The multiverse ain't ready for our universe" kinda reminded me of Loki, like, SPOILER ALERT:

So yea anyways, STREAM ROCK-STAR (I really hope they're coming to Germany soon, I am definitely going to that concert, no matter where it is. I'm hoping for Frankfurt since Berlin is kinda far away but I'm going to attend anyways. IMAGINE SEEING STRAY KIDS ON THE STAGE IRL OMGGGGGGGGGGGG)

just feel da rock we let it rock

This one line and Lee Know being the center for the chorus changed my life. Already their best title track to date. Every comeback they return better than before, I loved the entire album, and I'm really proud of them for upping the quality of their title track.

It's crazy how they always surpass everyone's expectations with EVERY COMEBACK. And I'm so glad my boy Minho is finally getting the recognition he deserves

Quote from Minazuki

OMG, yes! It's also my favorite title track of them in a long time, probably since Back Door. It's THAT good.

And your Loki reference is most likely correct, someone pointed out the same on Reddit. Stray Kids members are a bunch of nerds and they love the Marvel universe.

Omgggg It would be crazy if they were really referencing Loki since the finale aired a week ago, so only shortly before they released Rock-Star... Just for you to know I am a hardcore Loki-fangirl so this would be SO INCREDIBLE

Also, can you send me the link to that reddit post?

I don't know It's accurate, since I've never watched the show, but the person said there's a reference even about the theme song

The background melody kinda sounds like the loki theme, but not that much... But the person is right, the MVs setting is similar to the TVA (Time Variance Authority a.k.a main setting of Loki) and the lyrics do match it as well... Also, Loki is rumoured to appear in Deadpool 3, and Stray Kids is rumored to make a song or appear in Deadpool 3... what if...

WHAT IF THEY REALLY APPEAR IN THE MOVIE AND THEY MEET LOKI OMGOMGOMGOMG I'M GOING TO GET A HEART ATTACK THIS IS INCREDIBLE OMG THIS WOULD BE FREAKING F*CKING AWESOME IMAGINE LOKI AND HYUNJIN ON THE SAME SCREEN

r.i.p to me, if that's going to happen, I'm gonna die HOLY SHIT PLEASE MARVEL I SWEAR IF U DO THIS YOURE GONNA KILL MEEEEEEEE

sorry for overreacting like that, it's just that ITS FREAKING EXITINGGGGGGGGGG

Quote from Elliah

Cover Me is actually probably my fav from the album.. which is shocking because I usually don't like ballads THAT much and especially not enough to be my #1. But it's just so melodic and beautiful

Comflex, Lalalala and Megaverse are huge bops. I listen to Comflex a lot. And Lalalala is probably their best title track since Thunderous imo

And the possibility of them going on a world tour next year and coming to Germany is high

Omg it would be crazyyyyyy

And I like Cover me as well, usually I only like GirlGroup ballads, but this one is amazing

One thing, in the song, at the beginning and ending there is some voice saying smash and it sounds like Hulks Smash in Thor Ragnarök.... Lol there are so many theories I could make based on this

(A thor reference really suits the song since they sing about Gods, and we all know who our fav gods are (at least they're my favs)

Quote from Minazuki

I'm not understanding anything, but your excitement is very cute

What is Time Variance Authority?

So basically, in the MCU, everything that happens in timeis predetermined and happens on purpose. It's also called the "sacred timeline". For example, me writing this reply to you is predeterminedand happens on the sacred timeline. However, sometimes, individuals do something that isn't predetermined and doing that creates a "branched timeline" a.k.a a new different reality, because each action that isnt foreseen can change the way time flows. The TVA/Time Variance Authorirty collects those people, delete the timeline, and send the individual back on their destined path.

Here are similarities between the TVA and the Megaverse MV:

The colour scheme of Blue and Orange is very similar and I couldnt find a screenshot but The TVA lift looks extremely similar to the megaverse one

Quote from Minazuki

wow, very interesting

the color palette is THE SAME!

I'm very convinced about your theory, honestly

Yes, I think this picture really proves it:



I wonder if it's intentional. Maybe the Loki Series got inspiration for the TVA a design from something else, and Stray Kids just had the same inspiration? Because the MV doesn't include any direct reference or link.
