    I love that Odysseus kept his word. In the Troy Saga, he says, "Deep down, I would trade the world to see my son and wife." In the Ithaca Saga, Athena offers him the chance of creating a better world, and he passes it up to be with his family. A decision that is scored with a reprise of the very song in which he said he would do so.

    Its very fitting that the final Animatic is Gigi's.
    When you think about all these reaction channels watching Epic for the first time.
    When they go for the Animatic's as their entry point, I can almost guarantee Gigi's "Horse and the Infant" and "Just a Man" Animatic's are the first they watch.
    Having her as the one to create the final Animatic feels like a full-circle moment, not just for the fans but also for the project itself.

    My son was 5 1/2 when we found Epic. He loves ancient history, and absolutely loves mythology of any kind, from any part of the world. This was an incredible medium to introduce him to the world of the Greek gods and their stories. He's seven now we both shed tears listening to the Ithica Saga together. Not only has this story always gripped my heart, the way that it's executed and told through Epic is the best I've ever heard or read. The writing bring homes EVERY important moral and lesson Ody learns and endures as "just a man" in a world ruled by powers greater than himself.
    Thank you Epic cast! You were apart of creating core memories for my son and I in his childhood. ❤

      I was thinking about this, too! a hug, an embrace, is much more symbolic. a kiss is a gesture, and while people do kiss the ones they love, it's much more intimate.
      a hug is universal. It can mean a lot of things. a desire to be close, a gesture of comfort, and a way of not letting someone go.
      after being away for so long, a kiss wouldn't feel right. they need to hold each other again, they need to be close, they need to know the other isn't leaving, that after years apart, they're together again.
      also, as a side note, I like to imagine Ody kisses telemachus on the forehead during their embrace. as if he was trying to catch up on everything he couldn't do when he was gone

      That's because while it kisses romantic, a hug is comforting. And these two individuals have gone so long without any kind of real comfort in their lives. And now that they are together again the first thought on their mind isn't a romantic kiss it is the comfort of a person you love. It's so damn good

I love to have a family to feel this pull for, and in someways i feel like i have and always will. the completion of the saga and even hearing the final song when Odyssey finally reunites with his family, it feels like the closes i might ever get to that, I sit here alone on christmas night, because i couldn’t sleep the whole day away, and I feel real warmth in my heart, like i too finally found what i’ve wanted.

      But what i would really love to tell her is how much I love and care about her. I dont know how much she thinks i mean it whenever i tell her, but i mean it in all and every way imaginable- romantically, to her as just a person, and much much more.
      So to you, I'll say- put your chin up and keep looking forward to tomorrow, and the day after, and the next, and the next.. Love yourself so much and im sure you will find someone or people who will love you for you. Someone who will be willing to give up the world, for you in exchange - like i would for her. You just have to keep looking forward to it. (⁠。⁠•̀⁠ᴗ⁠-⁠)

This is one of the first musicals were the story and characters (and cast) actually connected to the audience and I felt truly involved in it during every livestream of a new saga. The way Jorge reacts with the audience is incredible and I just hope the cast knows how much their effort for this have changed some peoples lives. Will forever hold Epic very close to my heart.

    Penelope asking him to move their bed was just a cherry on top of this masterpiece of a musical. It's been so awesome to follow this project as it was made, it's music is awesome and every single singer blows it out of the park, all of them did an amazing job and the rest of the crew as well. Everything about this is just perfect, thank you all for making this.
    Edit: Forgot to mention the animators both the ones who participated in all the premiere parties (wich I guess could be considered the official animations) and the ones who make their own animatics. Every single animation of this musical has been amazing.
    (and I just wanna highlight the last part. After every "waiting" from Penelope you can see a frame of her last 20 years: Ody leaving for war, Penelope doing nothing other than watching through the window waiting for his return, Telemachous growing up and watching the window with her, her starting to weave the shroud after the suitors arrived and now being alone once again and lastly, her crying alone in their room and in their bed. It just broke me, you can just see how much she loved him and how important they both are to each other and I'm just so happy that they finally reunited)
