Just had my moral compass surgically removed!
So…so unwell. An audience of shades we’d be.
Having the little pauses in Dangerous was great because not only does it leave the listener at home just vaguely hearing the chorus of Full Speed Ahead in their minds but you just know that if it was played on stage the audience quietly droning after Jorge would go fucking insane
“Six hundred men…six hundred deaths under my command, cause I had one goal in mind…”
The audience gently: “…make it back alive to our homeland…”
Like an echo of ghosts haunting him for his decisions in the back of his mind, the wind underneath his sails, the only thing Odyessus has left
“Men don’t cry”
WRONG
Odysseus cried every morning of his 7 year stay with Calypso. He sobbed on he beach for 2555 days in a row. Do you know how much of a commitment that is?
And do you know how MANLY Odysseus is? The man who was a soldier for ten years, killing for his family. The man who fought giants. The man with muscles so impressive the author had to describe his ‘boxers build’ and ‘rippling thighs’ constantly? The man who easily strung a bow with a 300 pound draw weight, then shot it perfectly? And then proceeded to easily slaughter 100+ grown men?
Never say men don’t cry. Be like Odysseus.
I was right :)
Not Odysseus’ “Maybe you can learn to forgive” line being in the same melody as “ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves”.
Everyone who either has listened to the Ithaka Saga already or who plans on listening to it PLEASE DO NOT GIVE SPOILERS. Despite the Odyssey being a well known tale, we don’t know Jorge’s plans with the saga. Please please PLEASE be considerate.
This has aged very very well
not ready for the moment we actually see Penelope in Epic. because if the first time we see her is also the first time Odysseus sees her I will walk into a river
WHEN POSEIDON IS GOING OM ABOUT RUTHLESSNESS IN GITW YOU CAN HEAR THE MUTINY PIANO MAYBE???
HOLY SHIT IT'S HERE IT'S HERE IT'S HERE OMG OMG OMG OMG
Nintendo my darling you’re getting a bit too confident with those prices why don’t you lower them and then we can talk?
Certainly not me…
who else was not expecting the context of this???????
Today’s news is a singular degree away from Greek Mythology/Epic.
Just listened to Troy Doherty’s new song “Libra”. Go listen to this man’s music. Absolute fire song. Can’t wait for Scorpio to drop.
Greek mythos brainrot is so bad that Odysseus king of Ithaka can grow mushrooms using my neurons
