gigi’s animatics are SO good, like in the last one, she had penelope rip off the headband that odysseus was wearing bc it belonged to polites, implying that odysseus is going against polites’ ideals of “open arms” UGH SO GOOD
And the crushed glasses when he talks about the cyclops 😭 Gigi’s is obviously my favorite, but Ximena probably has my second place vote. Their ‘No Longer You’ is _awesome_
Yeah, Scoot I’m your little advisor here (hope u see this) It looks like your still a little confused on the whole thing going on right now, but i think you understand it a little, here is a rundown. This whole story is based on greek mythology and The Trojan war, The first saga was basically them retaking troy and ending the war, we got the Cyclops, who they left blind, then Poseidon finds out and sends them spiraling. This musical is based on a real event, That happened back when greek mythology was still a thing, so many creators like (Percy Jackson series) Rick Riordan and Jorge have taken that mythology and created series’ that are so great to watch/read/listen to. Also there is one thing based on this story, called the odyssey, great read. Edit-100 likes in 15 mins?
The Odyssey isnt based on the story, it IS the story. The Trojan war is highly regarded as a real historic event, but the story of the Odyssey and Odysseus himself is most likely a fictional character made up by the poet Homer. The odyssey was a story meant to teach Grecian ideals.
Sad fact: in the underworld song (the first song of the saga) the singing souls are singing the last thing they were thinking before they perished The first hit by the cyclops did not kill Polites but only *injured* him it was the second one is what actually killed him so if Odysseus and the crew hadn’t done the freeze response they could have saved Polites and he would have been around a lot longer than he did One of Odysseus men died on Circe’s island instead of being turned into a pig not by Circe herself but by getting so drunk they he fell off her home and broke his neck dying but no one noticed so no one gave him a proper burial
Elpenor did get a burial. It’s not in Epic but they find Elpenor in the Underworld and he asks them to give him a proper burial when they go back, so when they left they went back to Circe’s island, cremated Elpenor’s body, buried his ashes with his armor, and marked the grave with an oar
fun little detail about the 1st song, all the words being sung by the dead people were their final dying thoughts (so with polites, it was about greeting the world with open arms, with ody's mother it was her waiting for him, etc) which is sooooo heartbreaking but such a good element of the song :'( on another note, it makes me so happy to see people enjoying the musical!!! love these videos :)
Okay so heres some facts, way back in Keep Your friends close, in the odyssey its explain in detail just how close they were to home, no lie they were about 20 minutes from home, Odysseus's mother was waiting on the beach to see him when the bag opened and the storm blew them all away. She walked into the water to die thinking her son had also died in the storm. Now back to the underworld, the souls aren't talking to the crew, the only thing the dead can do is repeat their final thoughts as they died. The 558 men that drowned repeated captain before saying Poseidons line. Polites died to the cyclops but was still thinking about greating the world with open arms 😢. And then Odysseus's moms last thoughts were about her son and waiting for him. Also the guy who voices Odysseus is Jorge Rivera-Herrans and he got his actual mom to voice Odysseus's mom. It took her so long to actually get through it because she kept crying over the thought that shes going to die one day and leave her son behind.
Several things in the Underworld song broke my heart. Odysseus's mom is voiced by the mother of Odysseus's voice actor/singer.. Second was it hit me that Odysseus mom was likely alive when he left but died while he was gone due to it being YEARS and he found out there in the underworld that his mom passed away.. Third non of the people who have passed can hear or see them while they sail through the underworld which means when Odysseus asked if his mom could see him, she couldn't! It breaks my heart 😭
It's okay that it takes a long time, you did it! And I'm ready!! We love the first song! And we love monster. I recommend 'Ride the Cyclone' and 'Heathers' musicals
You are SO not ready for the Thunder Saga! Omg! The beginning of Act 2 so we’ve got 5 very powerful and beautiful songs! AND they all have a different story/ vibe on their own to advance the story? 😮💨 Yeah! Can’t wait!
I would absolutely recommend ximena natzel's animatics foe the next saga as they have the first 3 songs done in a very cohesive artistic narrative , especially for their Scylla animatic which helps people understand stuff for the next song
I personally prefer Gigi's Suffering to Ximenas because I like how Gigi doesn't give away the thing about Penelope (i'm being purposefully vague but i'm sure you get my drift) but i LOOOVE Ximena's Different Beast and Scylla
Literally what ive said! Ximena does just too good and definitely love more of their stuff even if i love Gigi too! There’s just the way Ximena draws expressions that’s too good not to just fall for and definitely needs more love.
You could check out Zach Callison's A perfect hollywood heartbreak but i dont know if there are as many animatics for that as there is for epic. Its also a concept album
For the wisdom Saga I suggest to watch the live stream instead of finding animatics since its so new there's not a lot but the live stream does have snippets of animatics for each song.
AAAAYYY! Being blessed again and again, Scoot! Appreciate you! I've had Wisdom Saga on repeat, can't wait to see your reaction to the next two! Only got two left! Favourite saga... I can't choose, everything is too good. Polites. 😇 Fun fact: That's Jay's (the creator) actual mother! This is her lil' cameo! Monster is the final song of ACT 1, so when you get to the next saga, that's the beginning of ACT 2! Just a little heads up about that!
I highly recommend at least looking up a literature summary of the Odyssey. This musical is based off a book/long poem (called an epic) called the Odyssey. You don't have to read the book but at least a summary on Sparknotes would do for context of the story
Heather's the musical. Might be hard to follow a bit because of the lack of production with it and the missing talking parts in the audio but I was able to follow it and it was really popular/funny.
I wish you'd react to "ximena natzel" animations especially for no longer you or monster the ones you saw are good but I feel like they did really well with giving the full extent of the songs. Hopefully scoot you see this and pick their animation for different beast or syclla in her thunder saga
Get ready for the thunder sage lmfao. I know a lot will have these opinions on what animators to watch but I personally recommend Ximena for the first three. Yes I love Gigi’s suffering and Scylla it’s awesome but I feel like the duality shown in Odysseus is just too good And too gut wrenching not to be seen in Ximena’s art lmfao. It’s overall anyone’s pick but I think Suffering, Different Beasts and Scylla should definitely be seen in Ximena’s style-it is simply too good and she just deserves more love I think.
Actually, all of the prophets' predictions are events that have yet to happen so everything that he said is an event that has not came yet according to Jorge the composer of this musical
Personally I'm sad whoever made the playlist you're using chose that animatic for "The Underworld". I feel like there are a lot of better ones out there that better communicate what's happening and have more movement/expression in them. I don't really like that the artist made all the spirits look at Odysseus and talk to him directly instead of having them not acknowledge him- it's so much more tragic if his mother is singing to herself and doesn't even know her son is there. Definitely not ideal to be your first exposure to that song

My favorite part in that one was when odysseus grabs the hand of the monster it looked so cool

Also the odyssey only tells the tale of Odysseus, the Trojan war is told through the Iliad
So a little fun fact, these Jorge (The voice actor for Odysseus) casted his mom to play Odysseus’s mother!!!
That’s not fun 😭
@@HorseChild as an Epic Fan I have to let everyone know this
lmao he even forgot about the prophet aka the reason why theyre in the underworld in the first place

The first hit by the cyclops did not kill Polites but only *injured* him it was the second one is what actually killed him so if Odysseus and the crew hadn’t done the freeze response they could have saved Polites and he would have been around a lot longer than he did

1:40 The Wisdom Saga. It made me cry more than this one did.
FRRR both are so painful 😭
I still cry listening to love in paradise
@@kimicrewe4443 just thinking about how if it wasn’t a musical he’d be actually screaming

Highly recommend Riley G’s animatic for the fourth song of the Thunder Saga, one of the best EPIC animatics ever made imo
Yeeees!
YESSSS
Theirs or Crashite’s. Love both
The monster animatic is so amazing, gigi did amazing
I think this was the first time hearing Ody’s mothers verse and not sobbing. Such a sad moment! Thanks for the reaction.
Yay. No Longer You ismy favorite song but the Ocean Saga is my favorite
The og saga the goat
Several things in the Underworld song broke my heart. Odysseus's mom is voiced by the mother of Odysseus's voice actor/singer..

Third non of the people who have passed can hear or see them while they sail through the underworld which means when Odysseus asked if his mom could see him, she couldn't! It breaks my heart 😭
She died of a broken heart (possibly casting herself off the cliffs) when she saw Poseiden's storm sweep them back to sea when the wind bag is opened.
It's okay that it takes a long time, you did it! And I'm ready!! We love the first song! And we love monster. I recommend 'Ride the Cyclone' and 'Heathers' musicals
Oh hell yes! He should definitely listen to Heathers

I would like to throw out Duvetbox as an amazing artist for the thunder saga
Knowing the story. Hearing odys mom in the underworld teared me up so much. 😢
10/10 would suggest watching Gigi's animatic for Suffering and Scylla when you get to the thunder sags 👍
Was wondering when the next reaction would drop. LETS GOOOO
Helll funking yeah man. My fav sagas are def either ocean or thunder!!:}
A musical I'd like to see you react to would have to be Nerdy Prudes Must Die
You could check out Zach Callison's A perfect hollywood heartbreak but i dont know if there are as many animatics for that as there is for epic. Its also a concept album
I recommend Neal Illustrations for Thunder Bringer. Best version I've ever seen
It’s great and all, but personally I’d recommend Duvetbox’s I think it’s more close to Jorge’s original version. But Great Animatic Nonetheless:D
@@Totally_a_Hoomanyes I love Duvetbox
For the next saga I 1000% recommend Gigi's animation of the first song Suffering because the rest of them are a bit spoiler-y
Oh we’re so close to the Wisdom Saga you’re gonna love it.
FYI in the original story of The Odyssey, Posiden and Odysseus never meet
For the wisdom Saga I suggest to watch the live stream instead of finding animatics since its so new there's not a lot but the live stream does have snippets of animatics for each song.
I'm so glad you continued this series, i subbed for your Hamilton reactions but seeing you going through epic is an added bonus
AAAAYYY! Being blessed again and again, Scoot! Appreciate you!
I've had Wisdom Saga on repeat, can't wait to see your reaction to the next two! Only got two left!
Favourite saga... I can't choose, everything is too good.
Polites. 😇
Fun fact: That's Jay's (the creator) actual mother! This is her lil' cameo!
Monster is the final song of ACT 1, so when you get to the next saga, that's the beginning of ACT 2!
Just a little heads up about that!
I highly recommend at least looking up a literature summary of the Odyssey. This musical is based off a book/long poem (called an epic) called the Odyssey. You don't have to read the book but at least a summary on Sparknotes would do for context of the story
This one and Circe Saga are my favorite. I never want to skip any of the songs in those ones.
This and the Thunder saga are my favorite
The prophets song gotta be my favorite
Congratulations, Scoot, you made it to the end of act 1!
My favorite saga is probably the Thunder Saga but the Ocean is a close second.
Hadestown of course!
Yay more epic! Here's a playlist for thunder saga highly loved animatics:
th-cam.com/play/PLVimzPn3l7XyrO1xhzZdyYJaCniExd42k.html&si=Vcl3YzRt0GWo4IIE
The Aneid (i'm probably spelling it wrong) tells the story of the war. It's not all about Odysseus but he is in it.
I think your Thinking about the Iliad, cus the Aeneid Is about the survivors of Troy fleeing to Found Rome:)
@@Totally_a_Hooman Very possible.
Heather's the musical. Might be hard to follow a bit because of the lack of production with it and the missing talking parts in the audio but I was able to follow it and it was really popular/funny.
Also duvet box has an animation for the first song of the wisdom saga too so be sure to check that out so you don't end up getting confused lol
Great reaction!
Can’t wait for you to react to the thunder saga and wisdom saga
I say you watch the livestreams available on jorge's channel rn, it explains the story along with some animatic scenes to accompany it
I highly suggest, from 'Giulia toneatte' their version of The Underworld on your free time. It's short but it made me wanna cry badly
WOOOOOOO!!!!! EPIC THE MUSICAL!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉
Odysseus using himself as an example of a monster in the past never fails to hurt :(
I wish you'd react to "ximena natzel" animations especially for no longer you or monster the ones you saw are good but I feel like they did really well with giving the full extent of the songs. Hopefully scoot you see this and pick their animation for different beast or syclla in her thunder saga
YESSSS another really good saga omg
Get ready for the thunder sage lmfao. I know a lot will have these opinions on what animators to watch but I personally recommend Ximena for the first three.

I would wait maybe a week for more animatics for the wisdom saga since it just came out, or just watch the livestream for Jorge channel
Loved the video. Have you seen Heathers yet
Me expecting him to react to his mom part him 😶😐
Bring It On The Musical is a good one!
I love these videos!
Hi Scoot! Love your vids! ❤❤
You should somehow do the Livestream for the wisdom saga
Never take prophecies at face value
MOREEEEEEEE
Hessel Inlet
Maybe Heathers the Musical? The story is kinda interesting
Scoot new ink?
Actually, all of the prophets' predictions are events that have yet to happen so everything that he said is an event that has not came yet according to Jorge the composer of this musical
Have you seen heathers yet?
I made an animatic for “legendary” Love for you to react too 🫣!!

Just a man is my favorite song but my favorite saga is the underworld saga
