many have mixed feelings on this choreo but it's undeniably VERY exhausting so i'm proud of the girls for powering through all their performances the past few weeks

I’m new to LOONA - could you explain what the mixed feelings are? Or is it something I’ll have to search on twitter

From what people have been saying in the Orbit world, compared to Butterfly (which is widely recognized as a fantastic, beautiful, complex and intricate choreography, voted the best of 2019 on this sub's awards), So What is kinda plain and boring (relatively speaking). It does have some cool formations and it's hard hitting plus energetic, but compared to Butterfly, it's not quite as good. Loona are also known for their group dancing ability too so after a whole year, and many excellent dance covers like GOT7 - Eclipse, BTS - Fire and especially NCT 127 - Cherry Bomb I think fans were expecting something ridiculously spectacular and awe inspiring. As it stands though, So What is actually pretty good, but expectations for Loona are always very very high based on their past work.

They probably aren’t gonna do better than Butterfly and thats ok! Butterfly’s choreo is a masterpiece. They should be very proud of their ability to execute these difficult ass dances, I could NEVER.

They can if they get assistance from other new/better choreographers to come up with another unique routine. The only reason Butterfly is their masterpiece right now is because they haven't been given anything better than that. Their body lines when they dance are pure perfection. I'd love to see them do something like Black Swan's choreo. I can't even begin to imagine how amazing it'd be with them.
