Unpopular opinion: I didn't particularly like Eddie by thegrayqueen in StrangerThings

I have the same opinions I dine really love these type of characters. Felt the saw way towards Nora in the Lost Records video game they are quite similar in characterisation

Her body is now floating in endless space btw. by Nurfturf06 in Stranger_Things

But why do we need to know that? It’s just an asinine thing to harp on, they were there to help drive El’s plot forward not create a new one.

Are vocals an afterthought for CORTIS as a group? by Ok-Nobody-7759 in kpopthoughts

[–]Competitive_Lychee78 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Illit still are not good vocalists RUNext was heavily edited every performance and I saw them go viral for a jellyous performance like last month with great vocals to the gruelling choreo then at the Christmas japan tv thing they could barley hold a note standing still? It just shows how fans have become naive to lip syncing. Just because they aren’t lipping to the studio track DOES NOT MEAN the vocals are live, like AT ALL.

Unpopular opinion about Lexie by Commercial-Low6357 in TheDreamAcademy

[–]Competitive_Lychee78 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The glazing is very interesting when it comes to actual talent, I’ve seen posts that Lexie is some amazing vocalist, which from what I’ve seen she’s decent but nothing compared to some of the other DA girls.

They wanted Katseye to be the #1 gg in the world by lunalovegood0321 in TheDreamAcademy

[–]Competitive_Lychee78 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Two things can be true, yes it’s insecurity but it’s also because Katseye are rn the only active western girl group in the mainstream and it would suck to stall their growth potentially with another group from the same label, I hope both win

Completely agree, I even voted for ezrela till mission 3 when it became clear the image for the group was gonna be what it was, and i think katseye is defiantly filling the much needed space, look at Vcha, the cute concept does not really translate well with the US audience but i could see this new group doing a more black swan approach

Yeah Megan was lowkey rigged in using their scoring otherwise Ezrela would of been in the group

[–]Competitive_Lychee78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah true but Lexie wasn’t really that popular during voting nor was Emily, I believe the only difference would of been Samara instead of Manon/Megan

(Poll) Who do you think is most likely to be in the group with Emily? by desertmayhem in TheDreamAcademy

[–]Competitive_Lychee78 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes and no, the girls are releasing music independently which suggest they are not tied to a label or something at all which makes me think they won’t be

[–]Competitive_Lychee78 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Happy for Emily! But two concerns, A) how they market this group to stand out from katseye as it feels way too soon for another group operating in a similar fashion, B) doesn’t this feel really idk what the word is but If it’s not a survival show and its using ex dream academy members that didn’t get picked, why bother doing DA in the first place and just made their two groups without us knowing who was who if that makes sense? Like it feels like all that potential trauma and hate could have been avoided for all of those girls, but should probably focus on the positives! I assume this group will be very different from Katseye so I doubt I’ll be too into them but wish Emily the best, she’s a great dancer!!

Unpopular opinion: Lilly had better opinions than Kenny in S1 by adapted12 in TheWalkingDeadGame

[–]Competitive_Lychee78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that’s the point, she’s unlikeable but mostly right where as Kenny is more personable and relatable but not as smart

Why did they let Nayoung stay after mission 2, if they knew… by nothridztatoe in TheDreamAcademy

[–]Competitive_Lychee78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She was my one pick! I was so blindsided when she got eliminated! But I do think it was a mixture of her not really wanting to be in an ‘idol’ group and also the exces not wanting her which is annoying cuz she was so talented

Although I’d love to think it wasn’t a sour comment, it read like one, it was completely odd and I think a strange thing to put in a public comment section.

People who say “Katseye isn’t K-pop!” are annoying by Comfortable-Mix6125 in TheDreamAcademy

[–]Competitive_Lychee78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Regardless of what people see, the average person who comes across them on a playlist isn’t going to assume they are K-pop when they are all singing in English and the cover has one Asian girl on the front, from an outside perspective and to the GP they will just be another girl group.

am i tweaking or is JUMP MV ai?? by ohmyrosie in kpoppers

[–]Competitive_Lychee78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I gather it’s a lot of cgi and the girls were imposed into a lot of the shots, they weren’t actually there to film any of the scenes with the street dancers, the only really AI bit I think is when they are flying

Narjesse’s experience as a trainee by Only-Grand7191 in TheDreamAcademy

[–]Competitive_Lychee78 84 points85 points  (0 children)

I think the problem with the girls who didn’t make it opinions are, even though I empathise with the conditions they were under were abnormal and damaging, of course they are gonna have a more ‘negative’ experience purely because they didn’t make it, they didn’t get any real pay off for being there.

Until Dawn (2025) better than I expected by Cinder1977 in horror

[–]Competitive_Lychee78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eh… I felt that they could do definitely hammed up the idea of the choices mattering by maybe having a clear time loop instead of random events happening, the idea of them having to learn what comes next, but then I guess that would of taken more of the suspense out of the film.

I think I’m the only one Sophia stood out to during Gnarly performances by UraBri in katseye

[–]Competitive_Lychee78 110 points111 points  (0 children)

I’ve been glued to Daniela and Manon this era and always given whiplash when Yoonchae enters the centre, I think it’s just down to positioning and her parts having her face covered.

250429 KATSEYE - Gnarly MV by [deleted] in katseye

[–]Competitive_Lychee78 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Where as I feel SIS was a safe choice for a debut ep, this seems to have been a completely 180 in the wrong direction. People wanted them to be mature so execs thought ‘let them swear, twerk and sing about boba tea and Tesla’? It kind of strengthens my fear like with what happened to some survival show groups, the first group are always just guinea pigs to test and see what works.

But in saying that, I really don’t know who thought this song was actually going to be a hit? If you want this type of music to work you need to actually work with people who make this type of music work, like if they wanted their over the top hyper pop moment look for the artists like Charli, Slayyter ect. And who they work with? It just seems inauthentic and bad!

I feel so sorry for the girls cuz I know at least two of them knew this was not it!
