"I hope no one gets triggered" bruh, don't you know Monbebes are one of the chillest fandoms??? We're just happy you reacted and were honest. I think we can all agree that ending had us all shook and hype af.
For real. I was in shock when I saw a comment earlier that said “the song wasn’t as good as they expected” and these two fans went in on them😂. Couldn’t believe it like damn. They went so hard they almost started arguing with each other. Smh🤦🏽♀️
Yeah Bris you got no worries here Monbebe chill af. Any attention Monsta X can recieve is a blessing and we Monbebe strive to be fans Monsta X can be proud of. So first of all we respect their privacy, thier decisions, and most of all we are respectful of other fandoms and people's opinions. I also agree the music video was a little too all over the place and needed more focus but dont let it distract from how good and catchy the song is !
I know right!!! That's why Monbebes and Carats are forever friends!! Because these fandoms are really kind and generous... Unlike others that is so suffocating..
@@kylacastaneda4080 No disrespect to other fandoms, I will always be kind to a fellow kpop fan, but there are some fandoms I would honestly be embarrassed to be a part of. Not because of the group but because of their fandoms behaviour.
I understand what you mean, that water is fuckin cool, but having it throughout the whole video would have made it lose its touch. Having it at the end makes an impact, and makes people remember the video, which is what we want :)
You have to understand the connecting storyline from previous Monsta X MVs/Films to fully appreciate this video. They’re going to release a performance video after the views hit a certain amount and I think that’ll be more of your cup of tea Terry. As a Monbebe following the storyline which connects so many videos from 2016 until now & The Connect Music Film (basically a special MV) and even concert VCRs, this video ties into all of those. It’s like a puzzle but instead of getting the last piece you only got one piece so I understand why you felt like there was too much going on. I think if you just watch Dramarama, the “Music Film”, the “Previous Film”, Shoot Out and then came back to this video it would make a lot more sense.
Actually, while this is accurate, it was going on from debut. At least that's what I put together and a few other Monbebes think so too. Watch "Seven Deadly Sins" anime and you'll see. MX said the story line is connected to those sins, but it's also connected perfectly with the anime... from beginning til now. It's on my twitter if you wanna see it, but just saying.
I just watched this video today and I am so blown. I knew MONSTA X were gonna come back with something cool. I mean their MONSTA X? Their name is cool. Anyways Wonho snatched my wigs and so did the other members and as well as the song
Each member in this mv represents different sins: Shownu : Wrath Wonho : Sloth Joonheon : Agony Hyungwon : Pride Kihyun : Lonliness Minhyuk : Greed I.M : Envy
i think Jooheon is Gluttony(he ate all animals) Kihyun is Lust(in a naked mannequin room) Minhyuck....is Envy(rose is about love) I.M. is Greed(cuz he's in an empty room)
@@jasminevandermark4702 this list was on the mv in the beginning, and they are the seven sins of their universe/created reality. By the way, an english literature something someone had a really good/solid theory explained in the comments of the actual mv, you should definitely check it out! It tells you exactly who represents what/what their sin is :)
They made it that way to fit in the story-line (which are used for theories which again Monbebes feed on) and the choreo just enough to make us anticipate the live version
First off I love your hairstyle today, it looks awesome BRIS 😁 Also I totally see your point with the dancing in the water scene. I knew that you would love that part when I first saw the MV. I just think the editors did that to leave a bigger impact at the end. It works. I also agree that the video seems all over the place but it makes sense it the end though. In the laser grid scene you can see a structure made up of the rooms the members were in. As for the outside scene, I just think Monsta X were a group of spies(?) and their missions as to break into this warehouse or something. The rooms they were in were just something they went through. Idk I’m just rambling at this point 😂
A little background-Their story is somewhat confusing since it started with The Clan which is All in, Figter, and Beautiful the story ended with Beautiful kinda with a cliff hanger....Even the boys themselves during All in era said that it would be explained in the future...they started a new story line with Dramarama which the story centered around Hyungwon (which the story is still somewhat centered around him but, is also centered around Changkyun aka I.M in Shoot Out) it then traveled into The Connect album with Destroyer and Jealousy....This all apparently from the theories I myself and other Monbebe's have made is that this ties into The Clan and is explaining what happened either to or after The Clan ended..... Currently now the boys are apparently Seven Deadly Sins....I myself is still trying to figure out how this ties in with Shoot Out....Sorry if this is all so confusing lol
I am a new monbebe and i didnt know this. I just here grooving to this awesome music.Now i feel like i need to go back and try to peace these theories together. Thank you so much for this information.
I was just as hype about it lol I love the entire song but Jooheon and IM killed it. The water scene also had me dying basically. So proud of them, this comeback was so worth it and I adore them with every fiber of my being. Seriously. Great review! You captured the emotion well lol
WooP alligator is my new song of the year honestly. also i didn’t know if you knew but jooheon changed his stage name to “Joohoney” just thought you should know ;))
I think they are using all them MV's concepts. You see: Minhyuk is in Beautiful's concept, Kihyun in Destroyer's, Hyungwon in Dramarama and Shoot out's... You can see the Jealousy's scenario, Spotlight's too... They are... Wooooowww...
In the VLIVE today Jooheon looked jacked AF. Between him, Wonho, I.M., and Hyungwon... I have ascended to heaven. I don't know what these boys are eating but they need to share their secrets 🤤🤤🤤
This whole song is amazing but when the chorus came in, I was bopping so hard I was getting all kinds of stares, but I don't care 🤣😂 Alligator is a frickin bop! They coming for souls with this one!
If the whole MV was the water part, it would’ve been boring. They need to build up the story line, as Monsta X does. I get it because that part was so epic, like all slow mo and they’re dancing in water. It makes you more hyped than you already are.
The whole video hits hard if you know the group really well. I first heard it when I was just starting to listen kpop and it didn't have the same impact as it does now. Same with all their songs for me when I re-listen.
They showed many places in this mv coz they linked every mvs from the past like frm the fighter and all in era , beautiful era and also the shootout era
Maaaan, I was on the floor when that last part came into play. I was shooketh the entire time. This comeback is FIRE!!!!!! Jooheon and I.M...Jesus be a fence lol. That slow motion water scene is my FAVORITE!!!! Ugh. I'm obsessed with this video!
I had the same opinion on the ending part. I felt like that made the whole video. The rap, the location, and the choreo! Especially that jump to start it off.......I mean WOW!
I knew from the beggining that you were going to get shookt with the water dance. Especially the jump. They actually did a water dance break at GDA, it was a whole spoiler for the comeback. Kudos to you.
I loooove them so much they’ve been getting much more attention and the fandom loves it, they deserve so much more finally glad people are seeing them...songs are so good and they look so great!! I’m so proud of them👏🏼❣️
It's the fact that their lyrics actually imitate sound effects as opposed to just sounding like lyrics. The lyrics themselves have a stuttering quality that just honestly once you notice it - it just gets better. You should watch their comeback show at Mnet. Water dancingggg Also - as for the video being everywhere you gotta understand it's not everywhere to the people that stan them - it's tied into their last video. Kind of like how you know all the little details in a BTS video - Monbebe's know all of the little details in a Monsta X one, so all the references, and the continuous storyline etc. Also Monsta X has one of the best raplines in Kpop. Facts.
The video is perfect as is... This is why, it's like a build-up. You feel the hyping rush of the rap course going on between IM and Joohoney (Jooheon) then Kihyun comes in with the power note, after which they do the whole water and fire scene dance. Plus you gotta think, when they do the performance live, they can't be wet for the whole 3 minutes of the song.
The first part of the mv is mostly about the STORYLINR that is connected from their past mv. The last part of the mv is just bonus on how monsta x is also a great artist and performance. Overall : MASTERPIECE. I wouldn't have it any other way. Everything is balance from the storyline to HOW 🔥 THEY ARE and that is enough 🐝
I really want you to react to more of them and their older stuff because is hella underrated, like All in, Hero, Shine forever, Trespass are just bops that you need to listen, Monsta x is just great!
It might feel all over the place, but that's because they are connecting a lot of previous mvs into this. Dancing in the water was jealousy era, the chalkboard formulas was also jealousy (think destroyer film), some scenes remind me of dramarama and beautiful era. Idk how I forgot shootout ;-; Even the dance feels familiar, like they've got pieces from previous choreos. I love it!
"I hope no one gets triggered" bruh, don't you know Monbebes are one of the chillest fandoms??? We're just happy you reacted and were honest. I think we can all agree that ending had us all shook and hype af.
That's why I love being part of this fandom . There's definitely a difference, and they also do a lot of genuine shout outs to us.

You should be the top comment.. JS
Exactly.... The siren sound and the scene in the beginning is from their debut song Trespass... this MV consist a little bit of all the previous eras.
Uhhh thanks for your comment I'm new in the world of Monsta X and I never understand what's going on

Hell yes ! Alligator is a boppp!!
YES THIS IS ALSO K-POP SEE WHAT I DID THERE? .......... I'LL GO HOME!
I just watched this video today and I am so blown. I knew MONSTA X were gonna come back with something cool. I mean their MONSTA X? Their name is cool. Anyways Wonho snatched my wigs and so did the other members and as well as the song
Each member in this mv represents different sins:
Shownu : Wrath
Wonho : Sloth
Joonheon : Agony
Hyungwon : Pride
Kihyun : Lonliness
Minhyuk : Greed
I.M : Envy
i think Jooheon is Gluttony(he ate all animals)
Kihyun is Lust(in a naked mannequin room)
Minhyuck....is Envy(rose is about love)
I.M. is Greed(cuz he's in an empty room)
The 7 Deadly Sins are Envy, Greed, Sloth, Lust, Gluttony, Pride, and Wrath last I checked. Where did you get this list?
i personally felt like kihyun was greed and minhyuk lust?? idk i just feel like this vid is connected to the shoot out mv

Yes, it DID make more impact, as I legit screamed and re-watched it.
SpookyDarling big mood right there, even if I knew it was coming from watching the teaser I still got hella hyped and left my chair to scream
If the water part was 2/3 of the video we wouldn't have the story line. And I need the story line sorry
Exactly!!!!
alligator? water? hmmmm you can see the essential water references coming through.
@@glubasuar7554 The Story is not about Alligators, that MV Connect with others storylines from others Mvs, like Drama Rama and Shoot Out. 🙂
@@niir1654 I already know that, but I was making a pun...seems like it wasn't a very got one though 😂 not that dumb :'))))

seeing the water performance on 20190106 at GDA i was like wooooooow, I love this Alligator MV :) they dance in waterrrrrr :)
CLC No!!!! It’s lit and it won them their first music show trophy
MONSTA X IS THE kings
Ali Ali Aligator.......Dang this song is catchy😂💛🤤
This whole song is amazing but when the chorus came in, I was bopping so hard I was getting all kinds of stares, but I don't care 🤣😂 Alligator is a frickin bop! They coming for souls with this one!
SF9 is having a comeback in 2 days so be on the look out for that! BUT, this was released on my birthday so it was such a great birthday gift haha!
"this is my part!" Your part?! Boy! When i saw the image of the mv i was shook. Jungshook! I knew it was the killing part! 🤣❤️
The whole album is FIRE !!!!
"This should have been the whole video"
Same feels. SAME. FEELS.

Jooheons "Hello im an alli-alligator" had me dying HAHAHAHA!!!

When they dance in the water is definitely the best part!! Is so catchy how powerful the choreo, the visuals and the edit is 🔥 FIREST MV ‼️
I was attacked...wonho is always after me
They showed many places in this mv coz they linked every mvs from the past like frm the fighter and all in era , beautiful era and also the shootout era
Can you react to "Play it cool" by Monsta X and Steve Aoki ? ❤️
1:36 is my favorite part from hyungwon. I cant have a bias in monsta x. Its impossible 😭
DUDE you have to react to Dreamcatcher's new comeback. One of the best comeback so far this year in my opinion.
Maaaan, I was on the floor when that last part came into play. I was shooketh the entire time. This comeback is FIRE!!!!!! Jooheon and I.M...Jesus be a fence lol. That slow motion water scene is my FAVORITE!!!! Ugh. I'm obsessed with this video!

Monsta x coming back hard this year so everyone better look out 😮😮😮 this song is such a BOP I could listen to it 24/7
4:35, the shook was so strong. They reached in a grabbed the calm out of you xD
Right when I saw the other reaction I was like “bro what about monsta x don’t sleep on them :,)” and then bam 💥 this reaction popped up
I was shocked like Bris. I haven't been able to watch any teasers. So I didn't know what to expect at ALL
I had the same opinion on the ending part. I felt like that made the whole video. The rap, the location, and the choreo! Especially that jump to start it off.......I mean WOW!
I knew from the beggining that you were going to get shookt with the water dance. Especially the jump. They actually did a water dance break at GDA, it was a whole spoiler for the comeback. Kudos to you.
오 형이 이걸 ㅠㅠ 고마워요
I loooove them so much they’ve been getting much more attention and the fandom loves it, they deserve so much more finally glad people are seeing them...songs are so good and they look so great!! I’m so proud of them👏🏼❣️
It's the fact that their lyrics actually imitate sound effects as opposed to just sounding like lyrics. The lyrics themselves have a stuttering quality that just honestly once you notice it - it just gets better. You should watch their comeback show at Mnet. Water dancingggg
Also - as for the video being everywhere you gotta understand it's not everywhere to the people that stan them - it's tied into their last video. Kind of like how you know all the little details in a BTS video - Monbebe's know all of the little details in a Monsta X one, so all the references, and the continuous storyline etc.
Also Monsta X has one of the best raplines in Kpop. Facts.
I'VE BEEN HYPED FOR YOUR REACTION EVERY SINCE I SAW THE MUSIC VIDEO
A 100% with you on your opinion about the last part of the MV! Love the whole song, but the energy of the last third is just breathtaking!
Monsta X is so good. Thank you for reacting to them!
So much is happening in this video I’m still shook 🤧 Love ur reactions bris ❤️
They portray the 7 deadly sins just like in the Shoot out era
YESSS HE NOTICED THE "Hello, I'm an Alli-Alligator" part from Jooheon.
I love the water performance of monstar x. They are amazing kpop group♥
The video is perfect as is... This is why, it's like a build-up. You feel the hyping rush of the rap course going on between IM and Joohoney (Jooheon) then Kihyun comes in with the power note, after which they do the whole water and fire scene dance. Plus you gotta think, when they do the performance live, they can't be wet for the whole 3 minutes of the song.
I was waiting for this. Always so fun watching you enjoy everything!!
The first part of the mv is mostly about the STORYLINR that is connected from their past mv. The last part of the mv is just bonus on how monsta x is also a great artist and performance. Overall : MASTERPIECE. I wouldn't have it any other way. Everything is balance from the storyline to HOW 🔥 THEY ARE and that is enough 🐝
I really want you to react to more of them and their older stuff because is hella underrated, like All in, Hero, Shine forever, Trespass are just bops that you need to listen, Monsta x is just great!
It might feel all over the place, but that's because they are connecting a lot of previous mvs into this. Dancing in the water was jealousy era, the chalkboard formulas was also jealousy (think destroyer film), some scenes remind me of dramarama and beautiful era. Idk how I forgot shootout ;-;
Even the dance feels familiar, like they've got pieces from previous choreos. I love it!
"That was a real alligator "😂😂😂😂😂😂 I laughed so hardddd! No shit🤣 love your reactions, keep it going!
Hell yes I’m so happy you reached to Alligator because it’s such a bop
