“When my roblox avatar is still loading” — Hilarious fan reactions erupt over BLACKPINK’s Jennie’s animated visuals on 'ExtraL' MV featuring Doechii

On February 21, 2025, BLACKPINK's Jennie released a new single, ExtraL, featuring Grammy-winning rapper Doechii and directed by Cole Bennett.

Cole Bennett, founder of Lyrical Lemonade and known for directing Eminem's Godzilla music video, brought a fresh perspective to ExtraL. In ExtraL, Bennett added live-action sequences with dynamic animations, creating a visually arresting experience that complements the song's energetic vibe. Jennie was also seen in Robocop-inspired purple attire, where parts of her body appeared invisible.

This sparked a flurry of fan reactions across social media platforms. Many embraced the video's animated elements, leading to a surge of humorous memes and creative interpretations. One fan shared a screenshot from the MV of Jennie's animated persona and wrote on X:

"When my roblox avatar is still loading"

Fans compared the CGI part with "Violet" from the popular Pixar animated superhero film The Incredibles. In the movie, Violet has the superpower of invisibility, but her regular clothes remain visible, failing to blend with her superpower, just like the idol's outfit in the MV.

"Jennie in that one scene of ExtraL giving violet from incredibles," a fan wrote.

"So you're telling me that they are on top of his bald head??" another fan wrote.

"I thought the MV will be inspired by the movie. Only to see it just means they're singing on top of a bald man's head," another fan added.

Others emphasized how much they love the song and its creative music video.

"The way there's "in coming" trademark in the intro, already knew it's gonna be a banger," a fan remarked.

"THE INTRO IS CRAZYYY GOOD," another fan commented.

"Sorry.... this might have been her best solo so far like i am in awe," another fan added.
