'War Cry' MV Reactions Part 2.
This is Part 2. For the analysis, see below the line.
Starting off here with wolfiness #15.
Now that's just a cool shot. But also #16.
#17 hell yeah.
&TEAM coming through again for the third album in a row with 100000/10 choreography.
That's right, don't you let her control you.
I love this bit.
Why does he look so sad? TT
Okay my bad, it looks like the ice powers well and truly belong the the werewolves.
YESSSSSSS.
#22.
#23.
Nice.
Why does he look like Hwall from THEBOYZ here?
Forever missing Hwall TT
Dude that is so metal and Gothic. I love it.
It's also edited to be split-second enough that we, the audience, get an idea of something violent and spiky, but don't see the details - this particular scene is shown in something like 6 frames across 2 shots - VERY quick.
Very nice and emphasises their connection to ENHYPEN who had a similar shot - although far smooher and more choreographed (ahem vampires ahem) in 'Bite Me'.
YES I LOVE IT. It's circular, and it's wolfy.
So that's the end of the MV, with a large count of wolfy moments and some very cool shots. Let's talk about the lyrics for a moment.
Lyrics
Well, they're what you'd expect from a young highschool-themed werewolf boy group;
The moon and silver imagery
Light/dark/night/day imagery
Time and the changing of the world and yourself
Blood, instincts, pack mentality etc
The howl being a war cry
Being together/mirrors of each other/generally growing as a person as part of a group
Yep. Nice, but other than that, there isn't much to say about them that isn't a full-on analysis of them.
Conclusions
A very cool MV. I desperately want to be involved in directing HYBE MVs, and the creative team at HYBE in general.
There are wolves, they do wolfy things, they are very cool while doing so, and so on. What would you expect?
Even better, I know everyone's names and faces now, so I can have EVEN MORE appreciation for them than I already did!
The choreography is the best, as always.
Interestingly, this MV seemed to lack the motif of their other MVs - collecting and preserving memories. The only thing here is K's vision, which isn't even really a memory....? Perhaps the trauma of Sooha possibly murdering them in 'Firework' has made them rethink their obsession with the past.
