Looks like the dubbing studio didn't get the memo about the Tobot V world, did they? Why would they make the DH characters go to NAV CITY??!!! I don't recall Tyler or anybody else from Galaxy Detectives passing through such an area that looked like that!
How would they expect most people to know what on earth a "dud" is?
Recognize the melody?
I have a feeling this reminded him of his wife (he must have been in a similar situation before), and headcanon: his wife sang this song. So many theories could go around from here, probably about who his wife was.
Yes, I know, the whole deal of Source Music disbanding GFRIEND at their peak so suddenly was a huge shock. However, I feel like netizens are being quick to judge by saying Source Music/HYBE just dumped/let go of GFRIEND just like that (and I also find it quite foolish if not hypocritical of netizens to stoop down to the level of boycotting new products or whatever from them or saying “I hope they burn in hell” or shading them in any way). If you think about it, HYBE (even back in their early days as BigHit), was pretty much seldom the kind to just throw away talent or their artists (or at least not THAT quickly) just like that; for example: They tried to resolve or defend an artist during a bullying controversy for at least SOME time before letting her go, and even in that legal dispute, they gave those girls multiple chances to choose the right path instead of making unprofessional decisions, and given their position, HYBE is usually NOT (and pretty much never was) that stupid enough to waste a chance of success (in this case, GFRIEND’s peak), in fact NO company (even of course small ones) would.
Now some people argue that it might have to do with the fact that HYBE wanted to trademark them, hence they are just disgusting, but I don’t see how that is a GINORMOUS issue (as big as a world emergency, for example), because given that they acquired Source Music, that is what is to be expected, whether for the better or for the worse. And besides, just because something is trademarked doesn’t mean the group is ruined, right? I mean, just having ownership just emphasizes more on the deal of acquisition, and besides, it could not have been all THAT bad (for example: ever since HYBE acquired Source Music, the GFRIEND members have had a fairer share of lines in their songs, which was the problem with some of their earlier songs, and GFRIEND’s songs became more diverse instead of too predictable).
So yeah, what I’m saying is, I’m a forgiving person (you cannot argue with that), and I think there might be a bigger story behind all this. HYBE just throwing away groups at a high peak like that has rarely happened before, at least not in that way, so I think something must have happened (probably even something personal) that caused GFRIEND to disband so suddenly (that probably even the members were not aware of). I’m not convinced that “Source Music/HYBE just got rid of them like they didn’t care” or anything. There must be a deeper story behind it. OR there is just something that I might not be seeing since different sources say slightly different things about it.
