I'm a StayTurning now which makes me laugh lol <3

I don't understand why they don't do it more like Kingdom Legendary War where no one was eliminated and we got to see more team bonding. Eliminating teams seems counterproductive to getting views. People will still spend money voting for their favourites without eliminations and they keep all fan bases tuned in that way.

Thank you for sharing your perspective with that! LOVE that track so much and I don't mind listening and watching 100x over haha.

I LOVED the support signs haha.. They birthed an inside joke and I loved getting to see how they created a powerpoint of support ..... Mnet really needs to take some notes on their own shows like SF because I swear if they made this format safe, and a showcase fo groups to be challenged without the risk for elimination, I feel their would be more joy in the entire process... But they didn't ask me.. BOO

I also do have to say this. Throughout this program, they were saying Cravity's well known for their performances and stuff but in actuality, what they're most known for is being funny on their variety show, Vity Park (the same show with the horror ep). Both fans and non-fans have said Vity Park is the most funny idol variety show they've watched and a lot of their memes have gone viral on korean media (or even on the news). That's why, in the unaired clips, there's always a ton of screentime of Cravity being really weird and funny. You mentioned that they skipped over Wonjin during their ace naming in the temple stay but it was actually just cut out and aired during the most recent unaired clips video (along with some other really funny stuff).

Myungho (8turn) said that he doesn't know why Mnet decided to edit the part of the vocal stage aces meeting in the car like that, he said that contrary to what the episode showed, they overcame their shyness very quickly and that they talked a lot. Also, there were so many cool interactions and friendships being born behind the scenes, it's a shame that Mnet wasn't interested in showing it so as not to "break" the show's competitive atmosphere. An example of this is the bond between 8turn and Oneus, their interactions are so cute that their fandoms call them father and son, but if it weren't for the "support signs" in the episodes, no one would know other than the fans.

Just started this ep and saw you wondering why Taemin chose Advice to perform. I think he chose it because the lyrics are about doing your own thing no matter what anyone else thinks or says about it. Very appropriate for the show and everything the teams went through. They were all true to themselves.

Taemin Roi

haha! I also think they weere also thinking that exact thing ☠️

I'm glad we all think the same about the trophy. The first time I saw it I thought they were hieroglyphics 💀

+ I think Taeyoung's gemstone was probably missing because the dancer in charge got confused / twisted around with all the doors and moving pieces. You can see at 3:24 of the Historia perf that a dancer hands Hyeongjun his stone from the right side next to the cameraman while they're in front of the door but then at 3:27, there's a dancer holding Taeyoung's gemstone on the left but they were behind the door / too late so Taeyoung didn't see it. It's unfortunate but, like you said, it happens and it looks like Taeyoung isn't taking it too hard.

Tbh some of these I was only able to catch because Wonjin told us the night before the final to rewatch all their RTK2 performance videos, including This Is My Asteroid. I did not expect them to dig out Hidden Universe though since it's been 4.5 years. I've also never really been a lore person but well… I've never really been a voting or streaming person either but I just dedicated the past 4 months to doing just that for Cravity. I wrote this whole thing out but Taeyoung said that them looking towards the front during the end of Historia was showing how Luvitys are the ace. (I was wrong but I'll just keep this in here anyway) Also this might just be me but Cravity's performances so far have always featured them staring at the Ace during the ending and the Ace staring in front / at the camera. However, this time, all of the members stared in front. There could be numerous interpretations for this but Taeyoung said in their Youtube Live after the finale that their goal for RTK2 is not to focus too much on the ace and make sure every single member shines (which they've been doing in every performance). To me, it kinda feels like them facing front is showing how every single one of them is an ace, just like how what they showed during their temple stay (with the Bace, Erace, Houce, Mouce, Nice/Face). If more stuff comes up, I'll add it as a reply to this comment.

Okay so it's… a lot so I'll try to list it down to hopefully make it make a bit more sense without going into too much detail. 1. The orbit-like object in the beginning comes from a show comes from a show they did during debut called Hidden Universe. They played high school boys who had special powers. Tl;dr the story set up a universe of how the Cravity members with special powers met and came together. This ties in with their upcoming comeback. 2. Wonjin was shown in Hidden Universe to have a purple gemstone bracelet, hence why Wonjin started off the song while holding his gemstone. (The Hidden Universe connection was confirmed by Jungmo). 3. Each member has their own official colour and each member's gemstone is their official colour. (Technically, although the colours are quite off.) These official colours were first revealed during their debut MV, Break All The Rules. 4. The door designs represent their personally chosen words from This Is My Asteroid. Or rather, the themes of their glamour shots in This Is My Asteroid. 5. Like you noticed, the words on the doors feature lyrics from Historia. The lyrics of Historia feature themes from the songs they performed from the evaluation round to rounds 1-3. The LEDs also showed lyrics from the previous rounds. 6. What their pair choreo represents is: Hyeongjun & Taeyoung (Cravity's first ace and Cravity's last ace); Allen & Seongmin (the broken sword from Veni Vidi Vici); Minhee & Woobin (the hand from Sugar Rush Ride); Jungmo & Serim (the light from Love Or Die). The smoke during Wonjin's bridge part symbolizes the smoke from Overdose (Taeyoung confirmed this on bubble). 7. The tree at the beginning shows the end of Overdose and Round 3's ace, Serim, passing the baton to the final ace, Taeyoung. 8. Allen and Serim pulling out the Veni Vidi Vici sword at the end, symbolizing the start of their journey on RTK2 and the fulfillment of their goal to "Veni Vidi Vici (I came, I saw, I conquered)" 9. The position they're sitting in at the table in the end mirrors the same position they had during the end of This Is My Asteroid. 10. The large statue(?) at the end symbolizes the "orbit" and them placing their gemstones shows how they found the "orbit." +11. (NEW) The doors have the words, "Now Or Never" on them, which is the title of their next title track.

Oh and to explain the trophy, Serim said the RTK2 staff said they'd take it back to get it engraved with Cravity before giving it to them so technically it's not yet finished/complete but I agree that it does look… quite underwhelming.

Full thoughts (and maybe some explanations of Cravity stuff later) but funny that you mentioned Loona and Orbits because Cravity's comeback is a single album titled "Find The Orbit" 😆 They've been technically teasing this album since "Odyssey Into Gravity" was released and I'm guessing it'll tie into that video and also parts of the Historia stage. Fun fact, this is Cravity's first single album in 4.5 years. They've had 7 mini-albums (with 6-7 songs each) and technically 1 full album (divided into part 1 and part 2 so like… two mini albums but with 8 songs each).
