True. Firstly, he knows the story enough to appreciate it fully, secondly, he lets the music illustrate the story first before seeing any animatic which means I don’t have to re-see Al, the animatics for the millionth time and get his cool ideas for the visuals, letting the music speak for itself.
I love hearing his reactions and pulling from his story knowledge to compare the two. It's so fun seeing someone who knows this story well and can point out where the story deviated a bit in order to make it more interesting or fuller for the musical.
Actually, EPIC does a major deviation in the Circe saga here, because Odysseus *doesn't* go along with Circe's temptation! When Ody sings "I can't!" he pushes her off of him, after remembering his wife back home (which is why Penelope's theme is brought in with the strings!) Circe shows him mercy, because he defied her expectations - that being that she expected him to be "piggish" and sleep with her just like so many other men would've done. And also; It hasn't been 12 years (in this version of the story anyway), it's still only been 10 years so far! The "twelve long years" line was a mistake, and when Jorge was asked where those two extra years went he just went "oh oops" and now it's a fandom in-joke lmao, and in-character that Odysseus has actually lost track of the time. There's a few theories behind it, but one popular one is that Polites used to be the one to keep track of the calendar, so that he could remember everyone's birthdays. But now he is gone :(
To expand on the Circe thing, she fully intended to kill him while his guard was down. Him rejecting her despite her use of magic to entice him shows her his moral character.
Also in Different Beast, Ody says "About 12 years or so," likely to a)wink at the fans who picked up on that, and b) to hint that Ody has just... lost track (Also, Polites had the calendars >.>)
Aww thinking of Polites keeping track of everyone's birthdays is so wholesome it warms my heart, just like whoever is the voice of him in this musical.😭😭
I think Jorge made the right choice when he decided that Ody is completely loyal to Penelope. If he had slept with her I don't think as many people would still like his character in this musical
I loved that, too. I didn't like Hamilton because he was a ho 🤣 I know it was like that in history, I guess. But when he was shot I was like "That's what you get 😤" - I love that this musical is more like an ultimate love story even if they're apart for 20 years
Aside from making him sympathetic to modern audience, it actually makes more sense story-wise. Calypso? She had a reason to want to force Ody, being lonely and possessive is her characterization. But Circe? Why would SHE want Ody when he just tries to kill her?? Narratively, it makes much more sense if she tried to trick & stab him instead.
And plus from what I read Odysseus was basically forced/pressured into sleeping with Circe. He's a victim in many of these situations. It wasn't exactly something he was thrilled to do so I wouldn't call it "cheating"
@@ayoutiecutie36I'd agreed but with Circe, I feel like people keep forgetting he didn't have to sleep with her, he had her defeated, she offered sex and accepted. In situations like with Calypso tho, yes he was pressured
@@hadrianhexe9603 If I remember correctly, I heard multiple people say that Hermes told him that he needed to accept Circes offer. I wont cant say this is 100% true but if it is true it makes the whole thing not his choice, and him being again "forced" by the Gods, just like Calypso
I really like that you are the first reaction to mention that Ody was not consenting, Hermes forced him to sleep with her, he is an SA victim and I'm so tired of people saying he cheated because at that point they are victim blaming. Thank you so much for bringing it up, coercion is not consent
@hadrianhexe9603 "When Circe strikes you with her wand, draw your sword and spring upon her as though you were going to kill her. She will then be frightened and will desire you to go to bed with her. On this you must not point-blank refuse her, for you want her to set your companions free"
@@trystaseale3867 I just read the portion of the poem. That wasn't forcing, he was giving him instructions on what he could do. That isn't sexual assault. That's like saying if i say "hey, if you want to that person to do something nice for you, speak politely", then i'm forcing you to speak politely. That is to say, he is a victim, Calypso saw to that. But we can't go around all these equating situations to assault, it's a disservice to actual cases of it, especially in the context of the play, where Circe and/or her nymphs were victims themselves and the whole reason for Circe acting the way she does (cursing men) is because she's protecting them from such a thing happening again.
@@hadrianhexe9603 I'd 100% argue that it still is not cheating. If you consider the theme of the Odyssey regarding the Gods, it is made clear that there is no fighting against them. While yes, Hermes did technically "just say" that, It was quite literally his only option. If a literal God tells you that this is the only way you don't argue against that. Ody doesn't know if she might have another trick if he refused, or something would happen to him, and at this point he is still on good terms with his crew, so he of course tries to save every man he can, so it is pretty much not even an option to refuse. But I ofc get what you are saying, Circe is also a past victim, but in that moment Ody is not wanting to cheat, but rather tries to save his men and get home safely in the only way he knows how
@@hadrianhexe9603sorry but directing someone to have sex with another person to save the lives of your friends and men, can in no way be considered a consensual interaction. You don't get to take hostages and then have consensual intercourse.
Funny fact is that the "12 long years" was actually a mistake on Jorge's part, he just didn't realize until after the saga had already come out. The common headcanons within the fan base is that Odysseus either added a couple years to gain Circe's sympathy, or that he's bad at math. And that Polites was in charge of keeping track of time.
I believe they started dating *after* recording those, if I remember correctly :D though everyone was commenting on the chemistry in the videos they did for There Are Other Ways
@liminalpsych yeah they started dating right as he was started writing this musical. I follow both of them on Tik Tok and whenever she posts about anything Jorge is always the first to comment and it's always a form of "I love you" or "You're the girl of my dreams" it's so adorable!!!😭
I love that you have background insight to the original (overtranslated) poem. So you know what’s happening. I will say ody has the patience of a saint with all the insubordination from his 2nd. And i’m having to hold my tongue for spoilers
To be fair, if Poseidon sinks most of my fleet because my captain pissed him off, I'd be pretty skeptical of his decision making as well. I think it's easier to forget Odysseus' many mistakes because he's the main character and we know what's going on in his head, but to a normal person looking in from the outside, the guy is already cursed and if I was on his crew, I'd ditch him the moment I knew he was the one who put a target on our backs.
@@MrSmile078 I agree! I get where people are coming from with the hierarchy stuff- but I'm sorry that doesn't mean people should never/are never allowed to question their superiors? If your leader is showing poor leadership skills and recklessness after losing his best friend (and lateron even downright being willing to sacrifice his men to get himself home) isn't it kind of your whole job as a second in command to safeguard the rest of the crew?
@@aquariamoon2451I think it’s the struggle of digesting a story written by and for an ancient mindset (in which kings were considered divinely appointed) through a modern mind. And even in modern sensibilities, a second in command challenges their CO privately. Doing so in front of the crew/unit further damages morale-just because it brings down their faith in the commander doesn’t mean it increases their faith in his second. Not holistically. It may just leave them feeling leaderless-and that can prove f@tal in a dangerous environment. There’s also the aspect that Eury wanted to raid the island of the lotus and eaters first and ask questions later; he opened the wind bag before he knew Poseidon was after them; and he was ready to abandon several of their men before confirmation of their ends to save his own skin. Ody has the fatal flaw of hubris: he genuinely thinks he can scheme his way out of every situation. And like all kings of his time, he has an arrogance problem. But Eurylochus is equally flawed. That's part of the point of the story. Every main character serves as a warning.
@@aquariamoon2451 It’s not that, it’s that he did in PUBLICLY. Like, you don’t argue with your king and captain in public 😭 You talk to him in private when you’re both calm and can properly have that conversation
Some fun details for you- The “OOOHHHH!” is Odysseus. It shows the Molly taking effect. In an official livestream release, sometimes the events were written alongside the lyrics. This one says “Odysseus eats the flower and starts to glow. POWER UP!” And when battling Circe, it said “BOSS BATTLE- CIRCE” During “There are others ways” a guitar is completely absent. Circe took back all control. Also, when they summon their creatures to battle, Circe brings a chimera. Odysseus summons the worst thing he can think of to bring down a goddess- a cyclops.
I like that Odyssus, in Puppeteer, clearly knows, on some level, what Eurylochus was going to confess and knows he can't hear it right now. "There's only so much left we can endure." It can wait until he has processed what has happened.
There are a lot of departures from the original. Jorge has pointed it out and discussed it before. I normally don't like when writers change a story but it really works for the character arc that Jorge is going for. In the right hands it works great.
Someone may already have said this, but in Done For Circe summons a Chimaera which fights the Cyclops that Odysseus summons with the moly. That;s what the roars in the background are, including the big “fwoom’ before he draws his sword. It’s the Cyclops basically suplexing the chimaera with his club.
Each Saga just keeps bringing it!! The strings and harps are mostly used when a god/goddess is singing. Thanks for adding actual poem bits along the way.
It didn't occur to me until this reaction but I think Odysseus on some level knew what Eurylochus wanted to confess too but just didn't want to believe it, which is why he sent him away.
The common theme when a human has an interaction or quote on quote divine intervention from a god of goddess is that there is always a hidden motive they don't ever do anything because they're kind and they want to genuinely help they always have some reason some lessons some other behind the scenes under the table reason to why they're doing what they're doing when a lot of time it's either really cruel or really messed up
If you ever watch the animatics made by Gigi the facial expression in Odysseus has on his face when he said what is the funniest facial expression I ever seen I instantly laughed when I seen how Gigi drew the facial expression when he said what it was hilarious if you ever wanted to check out the animatics I highly recommend for puppeteer to watch Gigi's
There's some jokes that Eurylochus had the best woman voice because he was telling the story of what happened! 😂 so people like to make jokes that Eurylochus was the one singing as Circe for the puppeteer(Sorry if it wasn't clear)
Next week, August 30, next (Wisdom Saga) saga comes out. You still have to react to underworld, saga, and thunder saga. You are one of my favorite reactors because you give insights on the original and I’m very excited for you to react to the other sagas!
While in the original story Oddy slept with Circe, Mr. Jalapeno decided to go a diffrent route, having Odysseus reject Circe, which earned Circe's respect.
I love how in Epic, Odyesseus is faithful to his wife. If he wasn’t, then it would completely negate his want of getting home to her, since he clearly doesn’t care about her that much if he cheats. But instead he stays strong, denying Circe and then Calypso for 8 years.
@@trystaseale3867 Odysseus is a big a** man. Anything that happened to him by Circe he took part in. He coulda killed her while they “got into bed” as they say.

You’ve become my favourite reactor AND I JUST FOUND OUT U LIVE IN QUEENSLAND! I’m gonna assume that’s Australia cause I’m also from here. That’s so cool!
From the things I've read he did without thinking twice and he also might have had kids with her seat and wasn't thinking about leaving until the his crew convinced him be like look we got to get home he was content there until someone gave him a reality check that's what I read I could be totally wrong but I know for a fact that he did not say no
The First time he blatantly had no choice in it, and cersei may have used her magic to seduce l him for over a year, I don't know if this is Cannon but I know it makes the incident with Calypso make a lot more sense, because obviously if Odysseus has no problem cheating on his wife, he would have simply had sex with Calypso rather than refusing her and having her assault him everyday for 7 years to the point that he cries himself to sleep
@@dragansnyder2786 With Calypso is different, because she had the power in that relation. It was seen as Odysseus was humilieted in the worst way, he was a man, and a king, completely dominated by a woman, because while man were just superior to women (to greeks from that era) no mortal man could stand up to a godess.
