You mentioned Poseidon's run when he screamed in pain. One of the current running fan theories is that he sounds like that because his pain is music to Odysseus's ears.
Troy is perfect for Hermes, I mean, first, his name is actually Troy. Set him up for the role. His voice, of course, and that laugh. He’s also has a Hermes vibe of chaotic. I watched the guy who voices Ares react to the livestream. When we got to Dangerous, he told a story of how Troy apparently just arrived at the studio one day with a full baked chicken 😂
Jorge sad in a TikTok that EPIC the musical is about Oddyseus embracing ruthlessness and we really see that in Different Beast. You said that Ody is finally learning the lesson Poseidon is trying to teach him but he littery says "Ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves, and deep down I know this well" in Monster. Also during Dangerous he said "I'm gonna use ruthlessness. I plan to put an end to all the foolishness" The point of no return was when they left the Underworld. I also want to point out how he still wanted to reason with Poseidon and tried to make peace. Then he said "F it, vengance it is." There is still hope for Ody imo.
I see your point, but honestly… You know how Tiresias said “I see you draw your final breath”?… I think he did. Right there at the end of “Get in the Water”. I think he’s truly a different person in “600 Strike”. I think he fully gave into the monster.
@@elequira5467 Fair point. Right then and there he really did go monster mode 100%. I think the next step in Ody's journey will be learning to embrace ruthlessness without being consumed by it. Without wanting to spoiler anything the suitors are about to have a bad time when the king returns. After that the final song is between Penelope and Oddyseus where he asks her if she can still love him dispite the hings he's done and the person he turned into no longer being "him". I believe the musical will end with her being like an anchor for him, preventing him from spiraling and keeping him grounded / human.
Yeah my thought process in that moment when I said that was exactly how @elequira5467 laid it out -- ty for watching friends and I always love reading the different POVs that we all have 🤜🏾
Poseidon really sat around Ithaca, waiting for Odysseus. He was missing for seven years but Poseidon knew Odysseus would eventually return home. He let him see his home, gave him false hope with the intention of shattering him completely. Unfortunately for Poseidon there’s nothing more dangerous then a man pushed into a corner on the verge of death. He had everything to lose and by this point Odysseus was sick of losing.
Gonna say it again, favoirte part is when Posiodon takes back what he said about Ruthlesssnes being mercy. Although my other favoirte part of the song is when you said "Blocked your one way home." That was just beutiful the way he sang that. then again the whole song was pretty good. He did a pretty goood job singing out those hollers of pain as well. Also when the Monster theme plays just as Odeseus sais "your gonna call off that storm!" in that cold voice takes me back to a Diferant kind of beast when they captured and genicided the Sirens. I like to think deep down Odyseus was already needing something to lash out on and the sIRENS WERE WICKED ENOUGH AND close enough to Poseidon to fill that role when they did. but now he finaly got to put the big fish himself in his place. Not the last man who will face his wrath though. the Suitors are next and their fixing to be hunted by a man that wooped a god tier being.
Omg was so happy to see the full reaction instead of it being cut up and glad that you saw the livestream since it includes points that are canon to the epic saga and not just up to interpretation from the artist!
Calypso was cast away to the island by Zeus for siding with her father in the war with the titans. This was as much a punishment for her as it was Odysseus. She was given someone that would never be hers and Odysseus was not getting home after he had sacrificed everything to do so.
Nah, you can be exiled and alone forever without trying to convince another person to love you when they clearly do not want to and tell you that. Also, she's being punished for something she did wrong. As far as I'm concerned, a criminal is not a victim for going to jail. Odys punishment was meant to be being kept from his wife, not having a god try to force herself on him. He's more a victim than she is. That's my opinion anyway.
@karutasilver She didn't really do anything wrong to get put on the island. Cronus started the beef with the gods, Atlas fought to maintain his position, and Calypso simply supported her dad. The fact that she wasn't killed and imprisoned in Tartarus like the Titans that actually fought and just imprisoned on an island means she probably didn't do much besides support, and the gods were just being petty like they usually are. It was very intentional for Zeus to send Odysseus to Calypso's island as punishment. The only reason he can't leave is because Calypso is there in the first place. If she didn't become obsessed with him she would let him go, and it wouldn't be a punishment. Zeus knows all this when he sends Odysseus there. Calypso also knows the only reason Odysseus is here is because he pissed off some god, which is why she doesn't let him go. If she did, he would just get killed by Poseidon or Zeus. The whole situation is meant to be torture for both of them, and Calypso didn't really do much to deserve eternal torment. The gods victimize Calypso so they can use her to victimize others.
@@karutasilver Youre a criminal for supporting your parent, whos fighting to maintain his position from those trying to usurp them??? Ody did a MULTITUDE of things wrong that are considered crimes by the gods. As far as epic calypso knows, all shes known is the island. Ody is the only person shes ever seen and ever been able to form a connection with. And shes DESPERATE for that companionship, love and connection. What she did was not ok, right or justifiable but pitiable and explainable. She mistook simple human moments of connection for love.
@ChibiCherub I mean, the gods punished people for all kinds of things. That was the thing. I'm not saying she should have been, but I can see how that would have been interpreted that way. I guess what I'm saying is that no matter what, it doesn't excuse her actions. Let me paint you a picture and you tell me if you still agree. A man living in 2024 is feeling trapped. He feels like divine intervention has a hold of him. He was raised in solitude, kept from any interaction with people. Abused by his parents. He's in his 40s and never had any friends. He goes to the same bar every night. For decades, no one talks to him, and at this point, even the bartender ignores him. One night, finally, some young woman finally sees him. She makes eye contact with him and even kinda smiles at him, at least, that's what it looks like. He tries talking to the girl, but she tells him she's not interested and has a boyfriend. She's probably lying, though, right? Or maybe she isn't, but maybe she'd be happier with the man. Either way, for whatever reason, she keeps going to that bar. And every night, he tries to talk to her. Eventually, fed up with her continually rejecting him, he follows her home. Becomes obsessed. He believes he even loves her. When she moves to a different town a few years later and disappears, he mourns that loss. Cries about how he wishes he didn't love her, but isn't sorry for feeling that way. Does that story make you feel the same way about the man as you do about Calypso? Just because someone sounds pretty and you understand why they exhibit predatory behavior doesn't make them any less a predator.
Ahhh I have been waiting for your reaction since this saga dropped! I have loved following your reactions to this so far! You make it feel like I’m watching for the first time again with how much you express your enjoyment and the thoughts you provide on the events of the story and the music. I know exactly what I’m doing for the next 40 mins 😇 Thank you for your content
@@HIM_066xMusicReactions ahh thank you, I am happy I could bring some happiness! I also noticed that you have, amongst others I intend to view, ren content for me to enjoy! And you have already discovered the beauty of Ren and Chinchilla singing together! Another song of theirs that I would recommend seeing, if you have not already, is How to be me. It is from what I have read largely about a close friend of ren ending his own life.
1. 34:03 I wish my cries of agony can be as beautiful and melodic as Poseidon's. 🥰 2. You've no idea how hard I was mentally cheering during that part too, I was like *"YEAHHH BEAT HIS @$$!!!!! 🗣️🔥🔥🔥"* It was a long time coming that's for sure. 😌 Also- "Next to my wife"? Hardest comeback/line *ever.* 3. I keep wondering what the aftermath of this is gonna be like, when Poseidon limps back home to heal his wounds and will eventually have to face his brothers once they find out what happened. Hades would probably try to console him, but I just know Zeus will be laughing his @$$ off at him getting beaten so badly by a mortal, lol. I remember Neal Illustrator posted in a community post a drawing she did of the two of them watching Poseidon getting stabbed from up in the clouds (and Zeus enjoying every second of it! 😆)
You should try and react to heathers and mean girls at some point (obviously the broadway musical of mean girls not the really bad movie musical), and ride the cyclone (ride the cyclone also uses high notes and vocals as screams)
Good reaction but a part i couldnt get over is the murdered his whole crew for penelope To be honest a vast majority of the deaths are mainly eurylochus fault for opening the wind bag blame is on odysseus for saying his name to the cyclops but that was unrelated to his wife so 558 are more or less unrelated to his wife and more to his pride and eurylochus screwing up
Every saga gets better and better. Other musical suggestions Hadestown (more greek mythology) and a bit of an odd one but amazing music and its not for kids SpongeBob the musical (has songs written by people like david bowie, they might be giants and more.) there is a full show of it which was released for Nickelodeon.
Since you mentioned if VA could sing, well you already heard one. Brandon McInnis is an American voice actor, which whom also voiced different anime characters also voiced Apollo in God Games.
@@HIM_066xMusicReactions I heard Mason Olshavksy who played the prophet, Teresias, has theare/opera background while also making studio songs, other VAs in epic mostly dabble in studio songs
Your watching a reaction past a accepted length of time for spoiler free that is more on you at this point now if this had came out like a day or 2 after the livestream with the thumbnail id agree with ya

OMFG 🤯🤯🤯 I didn't think of it like that
Oh thanks! I hate it! ❤
Odysseus: "Next to my wife"
Hera, goddess of marriage, cheering from the clouds:
"HE SAID WHAT HE SAID!"
It's bars honestly
🤯🤯🤯 Big Ody out here in seas -- that ending was freaking chefs kiss omfg I am still thinking about it
EVERYONE loves the “Next to my wife” answer.
Poseidon f-ed around and found out.
It was literally f'ing EPIC -- mic drop moment for sure
Something I've realized is that Odysseus literally drew his final breath and became the monster. As the prophet said he would.
🤯🤯🤯 good catch friend

I find it funny that this saga ends with “Next to my wife” and Penelope is actually the singer for the first song in the Ithaca Saga.

I can’t believe there’s only one live stream left 😢
Defo feeling mixed emotions. I wonder what his plans are after the Epic Sage ends 🤔
Only the Ithaca saga left. :3 (fans are theorizing it'll be out at some point in December.)
It would be full circle. Start it December 25, end it December 25.
Ya other then his cats death possibly pushing it back its most likely Christmas
That would be EPIC if it comes full circle
