i have just made a reaction to all the bonus tracks! check it out on my channel :)

Fun fact! Since Ivan is the alien's favorite, his life is valuable to the aliens. In cure, we can see that instead of getting shot in the neck (like others who lose) Ivan got shot 3 times on spots that aren't vital. I think that those bullets are warning bullets, like "you'll die if you dont stop this." We also saw Ivan holding Till's neck, i think that he's protecting him. Protecting Till's neck from being shot. Okay bye!!!!!!!!🎉🎉🎉

2:07 "They're just good friends".Scissor friends,some would say.

37:50 yeah, mizi says "i guess i wasnt desperate for her" bc she blames herself for not stopping sua's sacrifice. but also, she did it bc when she tried to kill herself (the scene where sua holds her at the edge of a cliff), sua made such a pained face that mizi simply couldn't accept dying and leaving sua to carry the pain she's living right now

1:58 “they’re just good friends” bros a historian

"my love is different from you" was delicated to hyuna. Hyuna loves luka and she was ready to "die" for him while mizi loves sua and shes ready to "live" for her and endure the pain of her death bcuz she knows Sua could never live without her

its actaully implied that till already has feelings for ivan , there just wasnt a chance to express them and tended to hide them because he felt ivan didnt feel the same way, before round 6, ivan never expressed his love for anyone or atleast showed it, which what made till hesitant about liking him, he changed the song in round 2 which was originally gonna be his sub song 'Mi Vida Loca' which expressed how he felt about both mizi and ivan, the line about ivan being "do you love me? yea i do . dont you hate me,  i get scared like a fool and widen the distance between us" and this could be said for mizi and ivan but it parallels the time when ivan was breaking them both out and till got scared to leave everyone else behind, and he feels guilty for that moment on, which is why he almost never looks at ivan, because hes ashamed, so he changed the song to UNKNOWN , because on the surface its obvious to everyone that he likes mizi, but he also likes ivan on the inside too, i think he likes mizi because of her facade and beauty , but he feels more comnected to ivan and is comforted by him, the whole thing between ivan and till is just miscommunication, which coukdve been fixed but there wasnt enough time ig there are lots of other implications in the artbooks and maybe in future comics on his POV?? idk till bisexual king 💔💔

My favourite song was probably Karma .. because this is where we can learn SO many things about the characters themselves personaly even if it's for a brief moment, same for the show.

3:51 "screw the ai" FUUUUCK YEAHHH really refreshing to see a creator say this and also provide such great analysis from a unique perspective!

Fun fact: Round 4 doesn’t have a video because Luka’s competitor refused to sing! Luka’s just so scary to go against lol (which is reasonable bc the aliens favor him immensely)

my favorite song is probably black sorrow. I love the roughness in his voice towards the end of the song, it reminds me a lot of the singer ado.

I wish I never got curious about alien stage when blink gone came out so much pain 😭

a little bit more stuff abt ivantill>>
about ivan being selfish as in giving till more trauma, in a comic posted on the alnst twt acc, it is revealed that Ivan didn't think till would care about his death, "better me than her, since you won't really dwell on it if its me" is one of the last things Ivan thinks about before dying.

Till does reciprocate ivans feelings (in a way) but till himself cant process those feelings as well as he can process his feelings about mizi, so it seems like he doesn't reciprocate, but deep down, he does.
Ivan's eye's get a red dot on them in some scenes when he is looking at till, to me, that is meant to represent his love for him. In a recent comic, theres a few panels showing tills eyes when ivan gets shot and if you look at one of the panels, you can see the red dot in tills eyes as ivan falls.
To Ivan, Till would only ever have eyes for Mizi, in the same comic where it shows his thoughts before dying, the last panel says "Thank you for being the victim of my shallow emotions", Ivan has an extremely low self-esteem and it ends up affecting his view of till and what he thinks of him.
That's why ivan truly believes Till wouldn't mourn his death, Ivan's self deprecation ends up blinding him to Tills actual feelings, while Till doesnt notice Ivans love because of the way Ivan shows it, Vivinos confirmed that Ivan only ever bottles up his emotions, Ivan does things that upset Till, so when till ends up fighting him because of it, Ivan responds because its the only way he can express himself, which makes Ivan think till is the one person he can truly express himself with, while Till thinks Ivan just does not like him.
And that thought is what blinds Till to Ivan's feelings.
they're so doomed it HURTSS

9:33 he actually changed the whole song they were supposed to sing, if you pay attention to the instruments in the beginning they were supposed to sing mi vida loka which was released by vivinos later as a sub song

37:42 yes, she knew that Sua wanted to sacrifice herself, but I don’t think that she just chose to ignore it. when Mizi attempted to kill herself and Sua saved her, notice how devastated Sua’s face was. Mizi knew that Sua wouldn’t be able to live without her. she said "If you'd seen the look on her face too, you wouldn't be able to judge me either", so I think it confirms my point of view

But you could clearly see that once Ivan touched Till's face Till's eyes dilated. This is because he felt comfort from Ivan's touch without knowing since everytime Ivan held him Till was unconscious

25:54 noo hurting till was the ENTIRE point of why ivan did what he did 😭 he pretended to choke till (you can see till doesn't struggle but ivan struggles to keep his hands on him) and you can see after his kiss that he looks at his own (ivans) score going down. Basically hes hurting till so he dies!! He wasn't deluded that till likes him back,he KNEW that already and he also knew that the only way till would pay attention to him was when they fought,or if he does something creepy (which is not to justify the creepy behaviour,but it is understandable)

I get there can be different interpretations, but its very clear and obvious even in comics and ivans song Paratise that he hurt till so he would die.

i have not seen someone be able to pick up the nuance of each video on their first watch like you dawg (even when you're not going in completely blind)... realizing that mizisua were trying to game the system, luka's parallelism to hyuna's poster like till's with mizi's, how karma's tone matches up with my clematis, this was amazing to watch!!

You taking in the music's meaning to everything too is so peak: How Round 2's intro shows Till's rougher rebellious nature, or R3 Ivan's strained singing ties into his desperation for Till, Mizi's first line in Round 5 showing how she feels about Luka, Hyuna dissing the system, Ivan and Till singing together but about different people in Round 6, how muffled lyrics represent lines till failed to sing (though both R6 and the finals also show till not singing through animation too), unresolved notes, ... a lot of first watchers look mainly to the visuals but you got the lyrics matching to the characters' inner feelings too like omg. thank you for this food. also just appreciated the reactions to good buildups and singing techniques LOL. If you listen closer you can hear Luka singing differently in Alien Stage similar to Sua and Ivan compared to his song in Wiege.

Your one-off comment about Mizi's unreliability as a narrator making Sua's feelings unreliable too is super interesting, but I feel like Sua's feelings for Mizi are returned mainly because of her rehearsal of her sacrifice. Mizi deliberately chose to not interfere with Sua because she saw how devastated Sua would be if she died (hence "if you saw the look on her face, you wouldn't judge me, either", aka you wouldn't be judging mizi for letting sua die if you saw sua when mizi was about to die), but she just suffers from survivor's guilt ie. "maybe i wasn't desperate enough" (for sua like she was to me). Those two embody toxic codependency which is seen in the Karma shot of them forming a heart together through kiss, but it still leaks black goop. Those shots IvanTill's relationship shows Ivan's forcefulness, while Till is implied to have unrealized feelings for Ivan that is blinded by his idealism of Mizi, and LukaHyuna are not strictly one sided, but showed how Luka's obsessiveness with Hyuna destroyed everything around them seen in her brother's death. I view those two like toxic exes that still hold deep love for each other, considering how Hyuna called Luka her weak spot despite her best attempts to hate him, and Luka having never really "moved on" from her even after she was long gone in the rebellion.

Actually in round 2 till changed the song without telling acorn (his opponent) that's why he was surprised (confused) at the beginning and when he was trying to match till's lyrics till has dropped the guitar and broke it which was low level alien called Freddie that's why the robot dropped him on the ground and hurt him

My favorite song has to be Karma, but my favorite cover is Till's cover of All In. It's actually confirmed by Vivinos (in her Patreon) that Till does like Ivan back, he just doesn't realize it. He worships Mizi, as she is kind and gentle, which is how he believes love should be. In the comics, Till actually had a mother, so he was able to feel love early on. It's believed that Till thought Ivan hated him, because he was not gentle with him, and was violent. Obviously, because of how the cast grew up, they were not properly taught about feelings, so it makes sense for Ivan to not know how to properly show his feelings, and for Till to not understand his own.
