Btw as disturbing as the lyrics to this song are, the voice actor did such a great job. the poor guy was so scared that he would've gotten backlash for singing the song, but he did an excellent job and his voice is amazingg
This, in my opinion, ranks up there with the greatest villain songs of all time. Easily stands as a peer of Be Prepared, Hellfire, and Gaston/Mob Song.
clue in the animatic, nobody can sting the bow, so the only one is the "old king" , a figure apears sting the bow and shoot throug the axes , and as penelope said only her husband can do that, so...
The bit you suspected for the danger motif is played by a viola, Penelope's instrument, and if you listen for the notes and melody it's playing, I think it matches one of Odysseus' big NOs...
God I love Jen's reactions. Don't worry Jen the next three will definitely lighten up your mood (Lighten is debatable so No promises on the first but the last two definitely will)
I love this animatic. About that person at the end- who ever can string my husbands old bow. I'm enjoying a little to much that you didn't realise who that was.
one thing i noticed. in the previous song, the line was "Whoever can string my husbands old bow" while here it's "Whoever can string the old kings bow" Penelope still sees it as the bow belonging to Odysseus, while the Suitors are already treating him as the ex king
@@leonglitch We DO know because it's literally his voice and because Jorge said on a short that it was a cute tell for people that both knew the original song and that were perceptive enough, cuz both in EPIC and in the original, Oddyseus was already there hearing Antinous and the suitors
@mrbigotes9974 First, Jorge never made a short on that. You made that up. Second, How do you know it's his voice. It's not exactly clear or anything. Also that doesn't make it Odysseus. Jorge has been just part of the ensemble before.
Ok, something I just noticed, at 13:58, you can see the scar that the boar gave him during his fight with it. In the original story, he gets recognized while in disguise by one of his house maids via this scar
I'm so glad you chose this animatic! My husband and I love this animator. But I do highly recommend watching the livestream animatics at some point ❤ they are beautiful and also possibly even darker 😅
13:39 kind of loses the shock factor and intrigue with this animatic (I love it still not saying it's bad, the artist just chose a different way to show the events), but in the og animatics used for the official livestream, odysseus wasn't seen among the suitors. Instead you could hear jorge in the background singing with the suitors, and also in The Challenge, which means Odysseus was there with the suitors the whole time blending in the background, so odysseus shooting antinous was pretty much a jumpscare. But odysseus has always been hiding among the suitors, even in the original. It also means he was singing "Hold them down" with a whole different meaning :)
One thing to take into account is that this artist tends to add a lot of the factors from the original tale into this. She includes things like his scar on his leg which tells you who he is and she includes things from the murals that shows us the events from the book as well. So in the original he does sit among the rest of the suitors and he hears everything that they're doing and he's the one who actually finishes the challenge. So it's a nice balance of both and I personally like the original a little bit more than the new version since it does give you an idea of what's really going on. And closes up some of the holes that the actual musical still has.
I would advise everyone to listen to this song with headphones on. You can hear Odys voice growing louder and louder as if he's inching closer to kill Antinous.
A lot of people have theorized that the viola (Penelope's instrument) in the background symbolizes that she was actually listening in on their plan. just like how if you really pay attention to the last line of the song you can faintly hear Odysseus singing along, this could easily tie in with his needed revenge against the suitors. Odysseus, Penelope and even telemachus are merely background motifs to the bigger picture and it stays like that for one whole song while Odysseus slowly bleeds through the background plot and back to the role of main character. Easily symbolizing his rise back to power as the rightful king of ithica.
You know its a rule for musicals. The Villain Song needs to be enchanting and somehow make you like the song but hate the person. All the Charm and confusion of "but why do I"
I love how basically everyone's reaction to Hold Them Down is "I will personally oversee Antinous rotting on hell, but dear god did Ayron Alexander *SLAY* with those vocals".
They’re so wrong for the parody because now every time I try to listening to the normal version the second I hear “you know the prince is not around” I start laughing 😭
Oh I wonder who the rugged looking scarred guy who just strung the old king's bow and shot Antinous as he completed the impossible challenge, could be? 😂 Who's to say! He was color coded completely different from the suitors, looked middle-aged and was pretty good with that bow no one could use, huh 🤔 I'm teasing you Jen, you missing what happened in the end was just funny xD
You need to react to Lara Fabian's cover of Barbra Streisand's Yentel Medley. Done live at the Molson Center in Montreal it is one of if not her best performances of her spectular carreer. It is done before a full house with her parents in attendance Celebrating their 30th wedding anniversary. To say she gave it her all is an understatement.
Who shoots through 12 axes cleaning using a kings old bow? I can't think of a preson who holds that much hatred for innocent little Antinous 🤫. Also, you picked a great animation, please watch her Odysseus animatic. All I can say about it is that if you liked this , that one will leave you speechless. Great reaction, as usual 😊.
Btw as disturbing as the lyrics to this song are, the voice actor did such a great job. the poor guy was so scared that he would've gotten backlash for singing the song, but he did an excellent job and his voice is amazingg
One thing I do love is that the universal reaction to this song is "Icky, I hate this, gods why is your voice so good, Ayron?!"
@laurasibob1106 fr i have to say so far the epic community has never disappointed im so glad to be part of it
@yousmell665 unfortunately a realistic worry because people went and BASHED on poor Calypso's Voice Actor
@@bradleybarnett1469 awww nooo i hope she's doing well
@@bradleybarnett1469 wait, what? why?
I want a song with Ayron Alexander as the hero, so I don't have to root against such a beautiful voice.
Truly something we need, because damn those vocals are amazing
This, in my opinion, ranks up there with the greatest villain songs of all time. Easily stands as a peer of Be Prepared, Hellfire, and Gaston/Mob Song.
Excellent video
Not so fun fact, some people think the violin, bc it is Penelope's instrument, symbolizes her screams.
It’s the viola, actually :D!
The viola plays the “No” from ‘Keep your friends close’ when the bag is opened during the part when Antinous talks about SAing Penelope
Jen, babes, I’m sorry to say he knows exactly what he was talking about-
Odysseus is actually singing throughout the whole song along with the suitors! He gets louder in the mix towards the end when they sing about his wife
You can hear it better with headphones.
@@supershinigami1 Very true
clue in the animatic, nobody can sting the bow, so the only one is the "old king" , a figure apears sting the bow and shoot throug the axes , and as penelope said only her husband can do that, so...
I love this animatic for it as it shows the *guy* shoot through the twelve axes before landing in Antinous's neck
The bit you suspected for the danger motif is played by a viola, Penelope's instrument, and if you listen for the notes and melody it's playing, I think it matches one of Odysseus' big NOs...
God I love Jen's reactions. Don't worry Jen the next three will definitely lighten up your mood (Lighten is debatable so No promises on the first but the last two definitely will)
u have no idea how excited i am to see u react to this animatic!!! we need more people reactions to HiStellaLuna 🥺
Oh boy i wonder how she’ll react to that one part😭😭
"OLD KING OUR LE-"
"NO. BE QUIET"
I love this animatic. About that person at the end- who ever can string my husbands old bow. I'm enjoying a little to much that you didn't realise who that was.
😂🙈 oops!
The Odysseus animatic for this is also amazing, with a lot of reference to other gods
So excited for this saga 💗💗💗
one thing i noticed.
in the previous song, the line was "Whoever can string my husbands old bow"
while here it's "Whoever can string the old kings bow"
Penelope still sees it as the bow belonging to Odysseus, while the Suitors are already treating him as the ex king
So fun hidden detail, if you listen to the backup singers, you can hear Odysseus’ voice among them.
Oh! That’s is a good hidden detail ☺️
How do you know it's Odysseus we don't even know if Jorge was in it but even if he is that doesn't mean it's Odysseus.

This song makes me feel guilty because of how much I enjoy it… but it’s so well sung I can’t help but love it

Aron is such a brilliant singer. He auditioned for Tierisis! He was my favorite for the role but I love what we got.
Ayron Alexander sang a parody version of this song, making Antinous sing about Telemachus' birthday and it's really wholesome 😅😂
For the "Odysseus" reaction, I highly recommend the Duvetbox's take on it
Not bad, but I personally like the one from the premiere stream.
Could you watch the Odysseus animatic from the premiere stream after this? It's soo gooooood!
Agreed! Honestly I liked the other animatics too even if they weren't full, cause they were what Jay specifically asked for.
Duvetbox’s animatic is amazing! From the background, characters designs and expressions, it’s amazing
Sciitikat's is my favourite personally! 😄
@ I honestly like any animatic, Duvet’s just hits different.
She watched every single song in one sitting so she won't see your comment
I'm so glad you chose this animatic! My husband and I love this animator. But I do highly recommend watching the livestream animatics at some point ❤ they are beautiful and also possibly even darker 😅

DIOOOS ESTABA ESPERANDO QUE LLEGUE ESTA CANCIÓN
This is gonna be great
I would advise everyone to listen to this song with headphones on. You can hear Odys voice growing louder and louder as if he's inching closer to kill Antinous.
Hope Jen is terrified when she reacts to Odysseus, and a blubbering mess for I Can’t Help But Wonder and Would You Fall In Love With Me Again.
Thx for the reaction
Live for her reactions!
A lot of people have theorized that the viola (Penelope's instrument) in the background symbolizes that she was actually listening in on their plan. just like how if you really pay attention to the last line of the song you can faintly hear Odysseus singing along, this could easily tie in with his needed revenge against the suitors.

Easily symbolizing his rise back to power as the rightful king of ithica.
Up next is probably the most intense song of the entire series, prepare yourself, prepare for Odysseus.
So excited for it!!!
Hold her down, Hold her down, Hold her down. Till when she finishes reacting to the saga!
You know its a rule for musicals. The Villain Song needs to be enchanting and somehow make you like the song but hate the person. All the Charm and confusion of "but why do I"
Hi Jennifer hope you are having an great and awesome day ❤
Thanks Jen 😊
3:46 "it's just snakey behavior" with the sassy pursing of the lips took me OUT lmaooo
😂😂
Omg the animatic googled greek axes!
I was Ody! He strung his bow and shot through all 12 axes and killed Antinous >:)
I love how basically everyone's reaction to Hold Them Down is "I will personally oversee Antinous rotting on hell, but dear god did Ayron Alexander *SLAY* with those vocals".
there is a wonderful short parody of this song where they are celebrating telemachus' birthday, much better lyrics.
Please react to Duvetbox Odysseus!!
I love the murderous look in your eyes the more the song progresses haha
The red eyes of the arrow shooter gives him away
By far this is my favorite song sadly 😅
Now react to the parody 😂
*telemachuses birthday is soon*
They’re so wrong for the parody because now every time I try to listening to the normal version the second I hear “you know the prince is not around” I start laughing 😭

OMGGGGG MY FAV SONGNFROM THE ITHICA SAGA
I like this song but it ain't my fav, I hate Antinuous but I love his voice
We all do babe, we all do
Ooof this is song is a rough one
This is gonna be a rough one for her
Who shoots through 12 axes cleaning using a kings old bow? I can't think of a preson who holds that much hatred for innocent little Antinous 🤫.

"Surely not" she says
Can you react to stell luna animatics of odysseus next
Truly the most 10/10 I hate it song of the musical 😅 I wish it were worse so I could not have it playing in my head lol
Omg😬😬😬😮💨
You don’t have to wait Antinous just got shot
Sheesh, you're gonna hate it😅
😡
@JenniferGlatzhofer haha sorry, ily 😆❤️
