A fun fact confirmed by Jorge: the ghosts in the Underworld are simply repeating their final thoughts. The soldiers were blaming Odysseus for everything going wrong Polites still believed in open arms Anticlea (Ody's mom) never stopped hoping her son would come home Also, while not exactly confirmed in the musical (all that's said is that she died on a broken heart), in the source material Odysseus' mom basically offed herself after the crew opened the bag of winds. They were so close to home that she saw the ships get blown away, thought her son died, and walked into the ocean to join him. Also in the books, Odysseus tries to hug his mom's ghost 3 times, but obviously fails.
If that last paragraph about when she offed herself is true, not only does that mean they could've been home so sooner, but eurylochus (or the people who opened the wind bag) inadvertently caused her suicide, dear God when ody finds out😢😰
It’s even worse when you know how his mom died in the Oddessy, she saw the storm released from the bag and out of desperation to see her son once more she leapt into the ocean and died in the storm
@@DuskShadow235 Not even that. In the version I know it was more that she assumed he died and so she let herself drown in the ocean so she can be with him.
The fact that mom is played by Jorges own mother is just goddamn heartbreaking. They sound stunning together and it makes me cry every damn time without fail
You missed it because the previous animatic in the Circe Saga wasn't finished. But he stopped Circe from trying to kill him while seducing him. And cried about not seeing his wife in a long time and that Poseidon was after him. So she felt pity and told him of a Prophet in the Underworld he can talk to to get home. And that's what's happening now.
Small note of my own interpretation- IN many versions of animatics, Odysseusis wearing Polites' headband. Polites advocated generosity, kidness and love. And in the moment he decides to become 'the monster' Penelope removes Polites' headband. Because even though his best friend died believing in the good of his friend... Odysseus has turned against his wishes.
a note Odysseus' mom in that first song is voiced by the actual mother of the lead guy behind this entire musical, i.e. the guy who voices Odysseus himself
"Is that his wife?" Finally someone who had the same thought as me. I try not to keep up with updates so that I can be fully surprised at everything, so I was one of the few people that wasn't spoiled that it was gonna be his mom.

3:40 “Is that his wife? Don’t do it.”
_“…Mom?”_
*“OH, NO!”*
An appropriate reaction, because that’s WAY WORSE. 🤣

I swear only reason I don't watch that song a lot is because I LITERALLY CRY EVERYTIME :(

That part ALWAYS makes me sob 😭

"I see portrayals of betrayal and a brothers final stand"
"WHAT?!"
That was great! And on beat with the music as well! 😅
"Is that his wife?"

I know this Monster song well. I will not spare my enemies.
