APPARENTLY Apollo would have been addressed more in the earlier Epic drafts (he didn't get more lines but he is honored in a song)

If the Ismarus raiding arc was kept, I wonder if this would be the beef Apollo would have with Odysseus in God Games. But then his priest (Maron) already forgave Odysseus so there's no point for Apollo to be mad anymore.

Anyways, I can see Apollo fighting with Jorge about the removal of this song.

Apollo: Keep that song. Keep it!

Jorge: But it'll make the musical too long!

Apollo: I don't care, you have to keep it! It has my name in it!

Jorge: No, I'm not keeping it!

Apollo: >:( *gives Jorge music block for a month*

So Comfort Zone and Cope With That have everyone shipping Perimedes and Elpenor, and apparently Jay confirmed that he (Perimedes) and Polites were originally meant to have a romantic subplot, but you know what? Perimedes has two hands.

These were incredibly hard to rank since I love every number except MLS (it’s too slow and blah) so this took a good 20 minutes to figure out but I do love every number.

Times Running Out was only in the Broadway version, not the movie. You’ll hear it in various regional productions.

And obviously Increase and Multiply was unfortunately cut during the New Haven tryout.

You can hear David Ford at the end and it’s AWESOME.

How many musicals can one single song be cut from? Let's take a look at Boys and Girls Like You and Me, written by Rodgers and Hammerstein.

It originally featured in the 1943 musical Oklahoma!, but was cut before opening. I can't find any recordings of it from this show, although I would love if someone could prove me wrong. Very quickly, it was placed into the 1944 musical film Meet Me in St. Louis - this show has an original score by Hugh Martin and Ralph Blane (at least nominally; Martin claimed after Blane's death that it was a solo endeavour), but contains songs from other composers, and this was to be one. Once again, it was cut at the last second.

In 1949, the song wound up on the cutting room floor yet again. This time it made it all the way to being filmed, in Busby Berkeley's film Take Me Out to the Ball Game. Again, this is a film with a score majorly by other composers (Roger Edens on music, Betty Comden and Adolph Green on lyrics), but with a couple of interpolations, as our song was intended to be. It was thought to slow down the picture too much; take a look at the clip below, sung by Frank Sinatra to Betty Garrett, and see what you think.

In 1957, Rodgers and Hammerstein finally get it in a show - their own Cinderella, sung by the Queen. Yet, surprisingly, it's hard to find clips of this, as it has been cut from every telecast of the musical. Technically in the score, the song's disposability seems to have struck again. It's on the International Tour cast recording below, which gives you an idea of its scarcity.

And, although it did not feature in the 1945 Rodgers and Hammerstein musical film State Fair, it did make it into the 1996 stage musical version, posthumous for both writers and interpolating many cut songs from their previous shows. Listen below:

Should it have been cut so often? Was it the gem that enough people clearly thought it was to not let it die? See what you think.

Then where the hell does that Amazing beat drop of "This Cannot Be the Way" fit in, I'm genuinely curious.

To me all cut songs from Epic are canon, or at least canon adjacent. Like no, they aren’t canon canon, but some of them still fit as in being like what’s happening beyond what the camera focuses on, that I imagine they are still happening!

I love "congratulations" and "first burn"

You think William has heard Ballora’s FNAF song?..

[gigizetz]

perimedes is an icon tbh

he claims he would yeet a baby off a tower while making basketball dunking motions (that's his comfort zone) but deep down he's fucking depressed

A Human's Touch - HL2VRAI AMV

constantly thinking about the relationship between the game, the NPCs/science team, and Gordon/The Player

ID AND CREDIT BELOW:

BEGIN ID

An animatic set to the song "A Human's Touch" by TWRP. The visuals are timed with lyrics, so I'll type the lyrics in quotes "like this", then explain the visuals, then move onto the next lyrics. I hope this format works well for all, and if it does not- feel free to reach out!

"Am I a toy to you, my love?"

Benrey stares up through Gordon's computer, standing on a black and white grid. He is in a beanie and jumpsuit, like many citizens from Half Life 2. He has a small mustache and a shadow over his eyes. He has a neutral expression. With each word of the lyrics, the camera zooms further out to reveal he is in a computer inside Gordon/The Player's room. The room has a PC tower, a chair, a desk, a microphone, a shelf with a VR headset and games on it, and a few posters. One poster is of "Kane and Lynch 2: Dog Days" and another is of two chimps grooming eachother. With the following musical beats, the room changes slightly to show passage of time. The chair moves around, things appear and disappear on the desk, and the chimp poster is torn down for another poster that says "Gamer's don't die, they respawn." On the final beat, the player is sat at the desk.

"Just a thing to play and then throw away."

A computer screen with four applications shown on it: steam, discord, garry's mod, and Half Life. A mouse cursor floats over Half Life before retreating. The screen is shut off and turns black.

"I never asked for this."

Benrey and Coomer sitting against a black background. Benrey is turned away, hunched a little. The lyrics appear on his side of the screen.

"I always did my best."

Coomer is turned to the side, looking up with his hands grasped together and eyebrows worried. The lyrics appear on his side now.

"Without your love I am..."

The Chuck E Cheese shown at the end of the series, drawn in black and white. The screen glitches.

"A broken mess."

The Chuck E Cheese is now worn down and broken. There's a banner hanging out of it that says HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO before it's ripped off. Minions are laying in one of the corner buildings. On the righthand side you can see partially graffiti that says BUBBY IS BEST. In the background is the citadel from Half Life 2.

"Now I'm never enough."

Tommy and Bubby sit against a black background. Tommy is facing the side, with a worried expression, wearing a suit, his propeller hat, a bowtie, and holding a briefcase on his lap. The lyrics appear on his side.

"And it's almost too much."

Bubby is turned away. His fist is clenched and producing fire. He wears a tattered labcoat. The lyrics appear on his side now.

"For me to work..."

Gordon, against a white background, limp with lines attached to his hands like a puppet. His face is not visible.

"I need..."

A side by side of the player lifting their VR controllers and Gordon's hands lifting limply in game in sync.

"A humans touch."

Gordon's hands drop to his sides again as his head lolls to the side, rolls back, then he opens his eyes- a VR headset flashing over them at "touch".
