So in the first version of that song, I thought it said "Cant hear you" and now that i know what everyone else hears, it changes sometimes to "scary cave". One of those illusions... great now i need to google it..... Perceptually ambiguous stimulus.... Aight.
His family is alive. What Zeus was saying is that if he doesn't kill the baby, it will grow up and kill his family. So he's faced with the dilemma of killing a baby who is currently innocent, or letting it live and inherently dooming everyone he loves.
Its funny you mentioned Kingdom Hearts because Jorge mentioned that as one of his inspirations. Athena has these "time stop" sequences which are essentially the dive into the heart segments in Kingdom Hearts. Epic the musical is basically a musical structured like a video game, complete with 'boss battles' and 'stages'
Yes please continue this, also both his wife and son are alive the reason he killed the Baby is to protect them from what the baby would have done to them if he grew up
Polities' belief in greeting the world with open arms clashes with Athena's warrior of the mind mindset, and Odysseus' heart is going to be the battleground.
Fun fact. I believe every singer was casted through tiktok. Jay held his auditions through having ppl duet a audition video regardless of age, gender, vocal range, location, ect and picked what he felt would fit the character best and even tweak the song to better fit the singer he chose if needed
Funfact the creator jorge rivera herrans or you can call him Jay easier. Is big fan of anime and video games and his big inspiration making epic is cause Hamilton. Another funfact the creator Jorge is singing main character Odyssey. When Jorge was younger he watched "Peter and the Wolf" and was inspired by the use of specific instruments to represent each character. As a result, many of the characters in EPIC are represented by specific instruments. Odyssey: various guitar Athena: piano To answer some of your questions. Odyssey wife and son are still alive at home. The enemy son Odyssey is holding he had choose let baby live and when grow up in the future kill Odyssey and odyssey's family. Or kill the baby before it all it happens. Very tragic. The little critters are called Lotus Eaters. Odyssey was trained by goddess Athena like a teacher and he is student. Oh Welcome to Epic that give bops and emotion. Also your just almost in time for epic 7th album being released on Aug. 30th. Just keep going on the epic animatics. Troy saga ✔️ Cyclops saga Ocean Saga Circe Saga Underworld saga Thunder saga The Wisdom Saga (aug. 30th)
@@alanplays2881 Word?! Yo Kingdom Hearts is my favorite game franchise too. I thought I was buggin when I saw certain characters looking like Heartless lol
Another Winion There is _so much_ musical analysis to unpack. Each major character has their own instrument. Gods can summon voices, but if there are background vocals for a human they must be in universe, like a soldiers’ choir. Each animatic isn’t 100% canon. They get a lot right in the broad strokes, but don’t take everything as Gospel. Get some tissues, and prepare yourself. Welcome to Epic
We got another one boys! Welcome to the Winions... If it gains a lot of traction? Man it's already huge. You might not be an expert on Epic/The Odyssey now but it's kind of hard not to end up that way after listening/watching these. First thing: Each important character has an instrument tied to them. Ody has the guitar (all guitars), I won't tell you the others simply because it's fun to figure it out. Yes that is Zeus: Lore to help there, Zeus's Sacred Animal (well one of them) is the Eagle. Also, while it never comes up Ody (the main character, voiced by Jorge himself) is the Great Grandson of Hermes (messenger of the gods and born trickster)... who is of course Zeus's son. Ody's bed is semi-lore accurate. Ody built his and Penelope's marriage bed out of a giant olive tree (still rooted to the ground) to show her his devotion and the lasting nature of their Vows. Ody's family is still alive: Zeus said "This is the Prince of the city you're destroying and if you don't kill him now he *WILL* come after you when he grows and burn your kingdom to the ground... killing your family." Lore on characters already introduced: Polites is Ody's best (and likely oldest) friend. Eurylochus is married to Ody's little sister and his second in command. Odysseus is the titular character and king of the Kingdom of Ithaca where most if not all of Ody's men come from. Eury is usually from a small island near Ithaca so some of the men may be from that island (named Same). Athena is a goddess of wisdom, warfare (tactics), and handicrafts. She is also generally the 'patron of heroic endeavors'.
Yes! Been scouting Epic reactions all week! Definitely love your style of review- for reference, this musical is an adaptation of The Odyssey by Homer. Not gonna say anything more for spoiler reasons, but there are changes made to the source material that are surprising to those very familiar with the original work, so needless to say, it’s gonna be fresh for everyone.
Omg this is such a good reaction, have to sub!! also if your wife is not camera shy, get her involved, she sounds so lovely, no pressure obviously but from the small dynamic I saw, you guys are so cute and wish you nothing but the best health and happiness!!
YEEEEES!!!! I wanna see you listen/watch more, tbh this entire musical is just pure artistic genius, I’ll the the task of explaining to others, I would but I’d most likely just talk about basically all of Greek mythology and it would just completely all over the place and I have a habit of telling a story but then at different parts feel I need to explain that in more detail then I realize to explain I’d have to explain a lot of other stuff. Honestly pretty similar to what I’m doing now, there’s no reason this comment should be this long, I’m just an over explainer.
A storm of Winions have been summoned!!! Winions are actually what those furry creatures who were eating the lotus are called. They get that name from “wind minion” stuck together. Our boy Jay named them himself! He also calls the fans of Epic Winions!
Epic is definitely worth the watch, we're actually supposed to be getting the next saga, the wisdom saga, at the end of the month! Definitely would say to watch it all, i adore it😂
I think is crazy that over there the Odyssey is not even mantioned at the most important parts of it. Like here is teached in medium school atleast some of it. Instead over there you guys really said:"no cap, no spoilers" bruh what you mean no spoilers? 😂. Anyway enjoy it brother the Odyssey is tragic, cool but tragic especially with the brothers
I'm sorry but that was the only way I could bypass the copyright claims. I highly recommend checking out the Patreon for the unaltered video. It uses the actual source audio as opposed to the background audio.
Let me say this the thing that Athena did is a thing called Quick-Thought which can make the person like Odysseus move slower in time but faster in the present and we are the Winions Om Nom Nom! I love that you are reacting to it Ummm for some spoilers for you these are the characters you will meet (based on nicknames the fans gave and also me) -Pancake Crusher -Wet Hades -The Loving Queen -The guy who drank wine and fell of a tower -The guy who wants to yeet babies of a tower -Disney Prince
I love watching everyones reactions to this but the secondary chill beats played over the music gets so distracting. I dont think ive seen any songs from this get claimed at all cause jorge adores the animatics and exposure from these reactions so i think youre safe to just let the music breathe xD
I apologize but that was the only way I could bypass the copyright claims. I highly recommend joining the Patreon for better quality that uses the direct audio source. I'm also gonna be uploading a lot more in advance before they land on RUclips.
@@WeAINTseenITREACTIONS I don't think there is Copyright on Epic songs on RUclips? If there is then you can contest it but Jay fully loves the animatics and endorses them. He's even hired a few of the more well known Epic animators to do short animations for him!
@@evecampbell3069 You'd be surprised. I've searched up a few reactions and saw that their videos were also hit with audio claims. 2 songs within this reaction got hit with them.
As I mention at the beginning of the video. The audio to these songs are prone to copyright claims. So in order to bypass that I have to add in the background music. I highly recommend joining the Patreon if you want to watch a better version that features the actual source audio.

"I hope nothing tragic happens" the face I made LOL
F's in the chat for my boy Polites.
There’s a reason it is one of the most well known Greek tragedies
If you listen carefully, you can hear that when the lotus eaters say a cave there is one who says after the scary cave.
Then after the lotus eaters say the direction "East" that same lotus eater says "That way"
So in the first version of that song, I thought it said "Cant hear you" and now that i know what everyone else hears, it changes sometimes to "scary cave". One of those illusions... great now i need to google it..... Perceptually ambiguous stimulus.... Aight.

@@WeAINTseenITREACTIONS correct! They were blown onto the lotus island and are stuck there because of said lotus.

The foreshadowing of hope nothing happens to polites.
