Look, sorry but as an aroace person, the words "my love's too much for you" are something I've heard in real life, it's something that made me feel really shitty and...not human, to put it simply. So yes, I do not want to hear them in a song trying to make me feel for the one uttering them, and I don't feel bad for it

See, I would completely agree with that, if not for Odysseus' last "I love you". That for me breaks all illusion of unreliable narration because it's giving her what she wants, partly, and her almost being justified in her actions. You want to portray an abusive character ? You can't do that without other characters pointing out her abuse, especially at the end! Otherwise you just end up with two disgusting songs that do nothing but hurt without healing in a musical that never was and will never be about that
I actually like how Epic did Calypso.
They did not shy away from her dangerous/forceful nature in the previous saga and in this one she's just deeply non-sympathetic while compelling. Her vocals are overpowering Odysseus, she's overtaking the narrative. She shouldn't be but she is, and it fits her mythical character.
Not Sorry for Loving You is such a backwards "apology" and I love it because it fits Calypso perfectly. It's weird to say but I'm actually glad they didn't shy away from correctly portraying a character that never "learned to be better" in the original source.
Like, this is a Goddess, not a human. She does not have human morality, she is wrong for what she did to Odysseus. Her emotions are selfish, she's incapable of understanding that she hurt this mortal. She's convinced she's the one hurt and the world is unfair, and that's unreliable narration but it's so good.
Calypso I hate you and I love you.
