Post 600 Strike, I feel like this happens-

Odysseus: *gets anywhere near Poseidon*

Poseidon: *shrieks* GET YOUR FUCKING HUMAN, BITCH!

Athena: He don’t bite.

Poseidon: YES HE DO-!

hi i have to absolutely praise duvetbox really quick

this is genuinely one of my FAVORITE interpretations of six hundred strike!!!!!!

i LOVE how it shows in the fight ody's cleverness- the way he uses the bag to help propel himself back to the surface and to move his raft and combat the trident-, the way he notices that poseidon isn't invincible and uses what he observed to his advantage.

i absolutely love the flashes of his crew as he stabs poseidon- and i just. I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS!!!!!

My favorite part of the vengeance saga

[fangirl-of-music]

good morning

[fangirl-of-music]

Poseidon: You idiot

Can't you see?

You sealed your fate just to bеat me

You released my storm when you opened that bag

Blocked your one way home

Now you'll never get back

D&D master: Okay, Odysseus what will you do?

Odysseus: He’s goin' to call off that storm

Poseidon: Or what? You can't kill me

Odysseus: I will stab him until he gives up

D&D master: You can’t just-

Odysseus: *Rols the dice*

Odysseus: That's a natural twenty, let's fucking go

is it just me or does Troy Doherty (who I know mostly as Hermes from Epic the musical) look a lot like Ryan Gosling?

taking a break mid impalement to serve vocals or whatever

"Didn´t you say that ruthlessness is mercy?"

[fangirl-of-music]

“Would fall in love with me again if you knew all I’ve done?”

[fangirl-of-music]

Poseidon screaming "Monster" at Odysseus has the same vibe as Victor Frankenstein calling his creature inhuman and disgusting and un-alive. My brother in Christ, you created him.

Istg, the epic animators have neither right nor reason to make Poseidon as hot as they do

I love the Vengeance saga sm….

so here are my thoughts

NOT SORRY FOR LOVING YOU:

This was SO pretty. Wangui has such a beautiful voice and she added so much depth to the character. But i still HATE Calypso. They could never make me like you Calypso. I liked How Jorge really made her seem like she just never learned how it was wrong to expect love in return regardless of circumstance. Especially the part “Was cast away when I was young

Alone for a hundred years

I had no friends but the sky and sun

So when you washed ashore

I thought for sure that you were my dream come true”

It really did a good job at showing she never learned because she never got a chance to learn these things.

DANGEROUS:

HECK YES HERMES!!! He was so so iconic and I loved how we was just partying while Ody was fighting for his life. My favorite part was defined the Wing Bag. Especially the winions. The melodies just seemed so much darker and serious then the playful tone of Keep Your Friends Close. I also loved the Athena reference at the end. I honestly hope Odysseus doesn’t learn it was her, it would make it so much more tragic.

CHARYBDIS:

This was the song I was looking forward to the most and I was not let down! The musical storytelling was so so good! Everything about it that I imagined is practically exactly what was on the animatic. Also extra points to part of it being done by @anniflamma (i’m not even gonna try to lie, Anni is my favorite Epic Animator) I LOVED the final verse. It was so pretty and Jorge portrayed the Longing of Odysseus SO WELL. I also adored the expectation diversion leading into…

GET IN THE WATER:

First off the Intrumentals starting the song were BEAUTIFUL!!! The piano was so striking and i loved it! Steven Rodriguez is genuinely PERFECT for Poseidon. I’m not gonna lie Poseidon is my favorite Greek God(Blame PJO) and Ruthlessness is actually the song that got me into EPIC. So it was amazing to hear him again. My Blood ran cold during the “Ruthlessness… Is Mercy Upon… Ourselves” part and I loved the overlapping vocals of the “Die”. And because it’s a bossfight it just has to end with making me cry. The “spirits” of Odysseus’s comrades was so pretty and I think it was my favorite(besides love in paradise ofc) of the “Heartbreaking remembering comrades” moments.

600 STRIKE!!!

1st of holy shit the Wind bag is such a cool Bossfight instrumental. It was so freaking cool(I love all the Wind parts in EPIC). I was a little disappointed by the Visuals, no disrespect to the artist at all! But i just thought the 3d was a little jarring. I truthfully think it would have been a little better if it was 2d. Enough of visual art talk though MUSICAL art talk time! I LOVED the chanting throughout the first-half. It was such a great(I think) wrap up to the Crews story and it also sounded awesome.

600 STRIKE: PART 2(that part)

Steven Rodriguez’s voice is really hot. I just had to get that out of the way. But in all seriousness this is my favorite moment of the Saga. I don’t think 600 strike was my favorite song, that title goes to Get in the Water, but 600 strike is a close 2nd solely based on the epicness of this moment. The way my heart just stopped when Odysseus said “Exactly” was just something I’ll never get over. Also I’m weird and i loved hearing Poseidon in pain.(I like my fav. characters to suffer). Also the overlapping vocals(can i even call poseidon’s part vocals it’s just him screaming in pain) was PHENOMENAL! I especially loved the 2nd “OOoohhhh” I saw someone say that Poseidon likely regenerated around the trident before it was pulled out and that’s engraved in my brain now.

And hot Take.

I think that Poseidon was actually ASKING Odysseus how he sleeps at night. During Monster Ody says “Is he scared that he’s doing something wrong” and I actually think Ody was right. Poseidon’s “I can’t” during Get In The Water seems genuine. I don’t know if it was because He literally couldn’t forgive Ody because of what Ody did, or if He’s is actually just trying to “keep us in check so we respect him, and now no one dares piss him off”. This may just be me over-analyzing/trying to sympathize my fav character but does Poseidon actually wonder if he’s doing something wrong.

And Finally, NEXT TO MY WIFE was actually so FRAKING cold. If someone said that to me i’d be devastated.

Ultimately the Vengeance saga was probably my 2nd favorite saga(after wisdom i just adore god games) Jorge did an AMAZING job with it and I’m so excited to see how much more a monster rawr rawr rawr Ody becomes.

I hope you enjoy my thoughts (:

Favorite Epic the Musical male antagonist song?

(I combined some of them since they don't all have a lot of each character by themselves)

[fangirl-of-music]

Now it's time for the male antagonists of Epic the Musical!

(I know Antinous is more of Telemachus's antagonist, but I think he counts)

(lmk if I've forgotten anyone- should I have put Eurylochus on there? I don't think so but I'm interested to see if anyone thinks he should count as an antagonist)

[fangirl-of-music]

Epic the Musical Favorite female antagonist song?

[fangirl-of-music]

Hey Epic Fandom!

Because I am curious, who is our favorite female antagonist in Epic: the Musical?

(I'm doing another one with the male antagonists, there are just so many of them and I know lots of people love several of them, so let's make your choices easier)

(yes, I know siren!Penelope could count but I don't want to count her, she doesn't actually hurt Odysseus in any way)
