Something that I greatly respect Jorge for, is putting all of these little Easter eggs in each Epic song. Aside from listening to them on repeat because they slap, you can also listen to them on repeat and notice details in the music that you never knew were there.
Ya know, I’m curious how Jorge will address Odysseus leaving Calypso’s island. In The Odyssey it’s super simple; Zeus and Hermes pull up to Ogiga (I can’t spell) and basically just proclaims “man’s gotta get home” and then Calypso is forced to help Odysseus construct a raft.
But this is Epic: The Musical. This is Mr. Jorge Riverra Herrans we are talking about. There are so many instances in which Jorge has cranked the dial up from 1-20, making simple instances in The Odyssey more dramatic than they used to be. One of these instances is God Games.
I predict one of two things that could occur for Odysseus’ escape from Calypso’s island.
1. Hermes helps Odysseus use his wits as well as some form of violence like in Suffering/Different beast where he finds out wether or not goddesses can die
2. Hermes helps Odysseus escape Calypso’s island solid snake style on some sort of very long stealth mission. Idk how he quietly made a raft, who knows.
Either way we will see what happens. See you mates on the 30th :)
I think I had a dream the other day that Jorge confirmed the Boon of Ares Theory for 600 strike in one of his yapping sessions.
My current goal for art is to try and figure out how to properly draw men. When the day comes that I unlock that skill, I can finally draw Odysseus King of Ithaka and no one will be able to stop the next step of my brain decomposition. I don’t have a name for it yet but we’ll cross that bridge when we get to it
Seriously if anyone has tips for actually drawing men please let me know-
YES LETS BRING MORE ATTENTION TO THIS STUFF! ILIAD! ILIA THE MUSICAL LETS GIVE THIS MAN SOME IDEAS (if he wants to focus on Epic though that’s ok)
*slips Jorge 20 bucks*
So how do you feel about the Illiad?
Telanovela
Telemachus.
I desperately need a rendition of “Survive” in Ithaka Saga’s song “King”. Let me hear Odysseus unleash his remaining rage and fury on the Suitors, the only things standing in between him and the end of his journey home.
regarding the ithaca saga
this is no one's fault
please please please dont be mad at jorge
#remoteislandthings
this is just another hiccup. you can be upset about the stream not happening right now. ykw who's probably more upset about it? jorge. hes done all this for us, to give us a good experience.
so BE NICE and be PATIENT winions
please and thamk you
Patroclus’ shade singing a soft and comforting song to the mourning Achilles.
When Patroclus fights Hector in Achilles’ armor we hear Achilles’ musical motif instead because Pat is in disguise.
A song for Odysseus where he schemes up the Trojan horse and we hear his motif in the background kinda like in the sacking of Troy in Epic.
You could probably call it “Ilia” since that’s what the acheans call Troy.
I see your vision and I will help expand it. Someone get Jorge lol
with epic wrapping up, I've been thinking that it'd be pretty cool if Jay made a musical about the Iliad.
No idea what it'd be called but I think it'd be cool.
It'd also be cool get God Games 2.0 where Hera beats the crap out or Artemis with her own bow, along with the other stuff the Iliad has to offer.
We could also add Polites and Eurylochus to get a feel for what their time fighting was like. Along with maybe some Achilles/Patroclus, Cassandra, the dynamics between Agamemnon and Menelaus and Hector and Paris, Helen and Menelaus' reunion, etc.
And once that musical wraps up if could lead into Horse and The Infant
Do y'all see my vision-
I desperately need to and WANT to finish reading The Odyssey, and I want to see Odysseus properly reunite with Penelope and Telemachus. I want to see him kill the suitors so badly and regain his home. Despite this I don’t want the book to end. I have four books (chapters) left but I dread finally closing the book.
Wild and wacky feeling if I do say so myself. I’ll probably finish it this week and then ugly cry about it.
Greek mythos brainrot is so bad that Odysseus king of Ithaka can grow mushrooms using my neurons
