The olive tree bed was carved and built by Ody, who built a room around the tree, carved it, and then designed the rest of the palace around it. The only room he personally built was their bedroom afaik, and the only other person who knew the secret of the bed was the single maidservant who waited on Penelope in the mornings and evenings in their room before she went out into the rest of the palace. It truly is the “symbol of [their] love everlasting,” and the perfect final test for Penelope to know without a single doubt that this is her husband.
I’m on meadow’s side here, I yearn to see a stage production of EPIC. I *do* think it’s possible and I *don’t* think it requires Cirque. Jay’s not a stage designer or choreographer (c’mon, floating baby in Horse and the Infant, really? why. whyyy), and a good creative stage designer/choreography team can work *magic.* I am *certain* it could be done. Might require some tweaks and modifications but I think EPIC needs some revision still anyway (that’s why it’s a concept album, not a final product). Thing is, it’d be different revisions for an anime/miniseries (where you could have the suspense/anticipation in an episode format that preserves the saga by saga release effect… *and* could expand some of the songs/concepts that need more room to breathe like God Games) versus a stage show (where some stuff would do better to be trimmed… basically some stuff like God Games needs either trimmed back dramatically or expanded dramatically, I don’t think it fully works as is, and there’s not time for extending it in a stage musical- but also a stage musical has the default assumption of everything not being Fully Explained and some things get abstracted or just sketched out, vs an animated production where viewers expect a more complete tapestry). …….also I want BOTH. an anime/animated movie/miniseries (if it was allowed to be extended beyond the 2+ hours of a stage musical or movie, some cut songs could absolutely be added back in, I want that), AND a stage show. Adapted appropriately for each. :D
New York is waitiiiing, for Liaaammm! So Full Speed Ahead! I absolutely wish that Royal Wisdom Burst got finished, or even halfway? I pray always for a Cut Song Saga, at Jorge's convenience. (RWB spoils!) I anticipated Jorge's scream recording more than King/Odysseus or even Charybdis. Not only would we have gotten the royal Ithaca men defending each other in combat, Athena would also have made a triumphant (if not slightly altered) return. (RWB spoils end!) I think Ody had to finish the suitors off without godly help though, to give us that deep sense of satisfaction at the end. I worried that Telemachus would be terrified of his father, but Teleprompter knew that Dad did what was necessary to save his home and family, even if he made one heck of a mess. PS, your camera quality was better than I expected, based on your first caption. It's a good start before you have enough EXP points to upgrade!
Ooh have you seen Jorge’s first musical? Seeing that and how much he has come in leaps and bounds since then (i still like his first musical too), i can only imagine what he’s capable of in his life. And not Meadow making Liam cry there at the end as NOT part of the Ithaca Saga… 🥹
why would you put a spoiler like that in ur title what the fart man
Did the tears in image not already give it away 😢
Me who just now looks at Casper thumbnail for ithica saga 👀👁️👄👁️um Sir?😅
I feel like I would have enjoyed this more if the title didn't spoil the most surprising part
The red eyes never go away. Because the sad truth is that to survive and make it home he had to become the monster.
I am baffled by the fact that Jorge doesn't think Epic as a stage production would work. I'm 100% sure it can be made and do Epic justice
I agree. I would love to see it on stage someday.

I love that image of Athena and Odysseus walking opposite paths, and they meet in the middle, but they’re not ready, so they bounce off each other.
I think it's possible to have both a stage production and an animation movie/series for Epic.

Ya why can't we have both ?
The just a man instrumental showing that though he’s changed and become the monster he’s still just a man
Imagine crying during the Ithaca Saga 🤷🏽♀️ (same😭)
