i saw a tiktok where someone said that when ody said “damn” in puppeteer it was because he was surprised at how good euryluchus’s woman impression is and now i giggle every time i hear it 💀💀
17:36 GUYS I JUST NOTICED ELEPENOR DRINKING WINE ON THE ROOF?! " I dIeD aND nObOdy NoTiced" (also Nbobody lol🤭 ) Hermes is actually Odysseus's Great grandfather and that makes the entire situation even funnier
@@DevinDoingstuff Yeah, but this seems like a pretty pointless change to make since we already have motivation for Hermes to help Ody out, I feel like we would’ve gotten confirmation if they were actually connected
12:50 She thinks all men are pigs. She doesn't trust them. She's not assessing the situation she's taking out the threat before there is one. She thinks Odysseus will prove her right by giving in
Jorge wanted the Circe saga to feel a little to the left compared to the rest of Odysseus’ journey, kind of a small island in a different world, and the accent change plus more pop-music sound helped with that!
Fun fact for Wouldn’t You Like: During livestreams where Jay releases the songs and canon visuals, after Odysseus eats the root it says “Odysseus begins to glow. POWER UP!” Those “Oohhhh!”s were from him. It showed the Moly taking effect.
7:35 Na, hermes is just there for shits and giggles. He's the one god that'll randomly pop up and help adventures and travelers, and expect nothing in return. He just enjoys watching the stories and chaos unfold. Oh, and he's odysseus' great-grandfather, so there's that familiar connection there. Also, the singer of hermes is named troy, which i think is hilarios with him singing in a musical that starts with the troy saga, and his music is excellent, i really recommend checking it out. He also has completely embraced the hermes persona, its great, there are a bunch of shorts called "HERMES! and jay" where he, as hermes is helping jorge with the musical and its comedy gold. But there are spoilers for the sagas you haven't seen yet
The voice of Circe is Talya Sindel! She's incredible singer and the English accent she's doing isn't her natural accent so she's also just an incredible voice actor (Same with Troy, voice of Hermes, he's American, he's just really good at voices), and through doing epic Talya and Jay (voice of Odysseus and creator of epic) started dating and are still together!
Hermes is Odysseus's great-great-grandfather. He's basically playing favorite. Also, he's a very nice guy as far as gods are concerned. It's pretty typical of him to help out a mortal because he feels like it.
Hospitality was holy to the ancient Greeks. Her preemptively attacking them was VERY wrong by the moral standards of the day, it's very unlikely Ody would have done similar.
I appreciate that you watched and reacted to all of these songs in order, even if you had reacted to one before. So much context is lost when songs are skipped or watched out of order. Many of the songs in EPIC flow into one another so skipping around will cause a lot of confusion
@@anastasija6866 and the chat immediately quoted "whatcha gonna do about that?" to Jorge. It was hilarious. Especially since he had said a few days before that that line was living rent-free in his brain.
10:08 just saying hermes was known as the one god who actually helped people, especially travellers (being the god of travellers, and odysseus is definitely a traveller) with no strings attached, simply cause he felt like it or something, no ulterior motive. (also he's odysseus like.. great-grandpa or something, which could be part of the reason).
In the book Circe, she explains that she only turned men into pigs who tried to SA her. She’d set them up by showing that she lived alone, feeding them, and that there was no men on the island. She put the necessary herbs for her spells in their food, and if they tried to act, she’d turn them into pigs. She does specify that she has let men go, but the amount she let go she could count on one hand.
Hermes is one of the few gods that would help out heroes, whether it's for his own entertainment or to cause chaos. He doesn't need beef with the other god to help out, plus Odysseus is his great grandson not that means much to the gods but it means Hermes is more inclined to help out than he normally is.
If I might make a suggestion, The Underworld by Falperio05 is an amazing anamatic, but not many have seen it because the creator is on the smaller side. I highly recommend it!
Fun fact hermes is Odysseys's great grandfather so if you where wondering why he wanted to help him you have your reason he also warned Cercie too in the myth so he could just just be playing a game with them
Thank you so much for this video! I always look forward to your posts, especially about Epic. I just lost my 2 year old cat and seeing this brightened my day.
fun fact hermes is related to Odysseus other fun fact hermes is a god that gives stuff the people just to see what will happen if he does and doesn't want anything in return and hermes also just wants to make choas is he doesn't have anything against Circe Hopes this helps
Fun Fact: The woman who plays Circe, Talya Sindel, is in a relationship with Jorge Rivera-Herrans (the guy who wrote EPIC and plays Ody), and they have the absolute cutest relationship ever.
I got so hyped when I saw this reaction. : D Glad you are going through it in order now (don't worry I won't take your first born for going in random order at first)
10:14 actualy hermies is also a good of travelers, and a trickster good, so he often just show up, give some traveler some op shit, and fucks off to watch what happens for the fun of it. so he is one of the very few that doesn’t have strings attatched to gifts beond this might be funny
Explanation for Cerberus/ hellhounds being one or three dog(s) according to Google: Cerberus is considered a three-headed dog in Greek mythology, meaning it is essentially one dog with three heads; so, it is considered "one dog" with multiple heads.
I'm pretty sure Hermes is actually Ody's grandfather in some way, that's why he actively tries to help him. Also, pretty sure Poseidon's whole issue with Ody is that he's Athenas Champion (or was) and we all know how much he doesn't like her. I will also never get over Ody just flopping back down on the couch talking about missing his wife back home, its just too chill and funny for the situation he's in. 😆😆
this is a pinned comment
nice
yes
Why yes, it is
This is a reply to a pinned comment
It appears so!
i saw a tiktok where someone said that when ody said “damn” in puppeteer it was because he was surprised at how good euryluchus’s woman impression is and now i giggle every time i hear it 💀💀
HAHAHAH BRUH💀
Thank you for this comment haha
That’s the best hc I ever heard now it’ll be in my head 😭
an impression !? 😂😂😂😂😂omg!
Have you seen Gwendy's puppeteer shitpost? It's exactly this🤣🤣
here we have the circle saga. up next is the parallelogram saga
Can’t wait till he gets to the rhombicosidodecahedron saga
The rectangle saga is so fun honestly
@@pondbrothers806 is that even a Word?
i personally am waiting for the tetrahedron saga
dodecahedron saga is the best imo
(Or the whattheheckahedron saga, that’s a really good one)
Gigi’s circle shot is so iconic
That's what gives it the name the circle saga XD
Are you joking? I genuinely can’t tell. If you aren’t, the saga is actually called the Circe Saga
@@MJtheNorman I am very much joking haha
The funniest part about this is that Jorge (Odysseus) and Tayla (Circe) are dating in real life! 😅
PERCABETH PFP!
@HugeEPICandPJOfan Yup! I love this picture of them!
@PaisleyDoebler Same!! Its my favorite Percabeth art!
@HugeEPICandPJOfan I have a few, but this is definitely one of them!
I didn't know that, that's so cute
Circe: "alright... please stop crying" 🤣
Literally Gigi’s doodle at the end😂
7:33 They're exes, but mostly he's just here for the chaos. Also Odysseus is his great grandson
The exes part was a modern addition, they were in no way related in the original story
Wait what’s the exes story?? I gotta know
@@sweetiedropsesteam3438 The exes plot line is from a 2018 novel called Circe by Madeline Miller, it was not in the original story of the Odyssey.
"(...) and the animatic is by Gigi" THE CROWD GOES WILD
7:30 the funny thing is, he has no beef with Circe canonically in greek mythology, he just wanted to have fun. He just lives for the drama lmaoo
17:36 GUYS I JUST NOTICED ELEPENOR DRINKING WINE ON THE ROOF?!
" I dIeD aND nObOdy NoTiced" (also Nbobody lol🤭 )
Hermes is actually Odysseus's Great grandfather and that makes the entire situation even funnier
I WAS ABOUT TO COMMENT THE SAME THING😂😂 I watched this animatic countless times and this is the first time i noticed
I loved that 😂😂😂
And circes ex.
I died and nobody cared 😓
Also the patron of TRAVELERS who circe isn't very fond of
7:49 You previously listened to the demo of “Wouldn’t You Like” I believe, basically just an early version of it.
He's listened to a snippet version of dangerous too .... I think that's why he remembered the instruments for Hermes
To set up Hermes reason...he's just an agent of chaos that likes to do things for fun. He is also related and...well he was banging Circe
@@DevinDoingstuff They were never dating or banging, that is from the 2018 novel Circe by Madeline Miller, it was not in the Odyssey.
@@ariaphoenix2760well there are some past relations known and Epic isnt a 1:1 story of the odessy
@@DevinDoingstuff Yeah, but this seems like a pretty pointless change to make since we already have motivation for Hermes to help Ody out, I feel like we would’ve gotten confirmation if they were actually connected
He's the pateon God of travelers
12:50 She thinks all men are pigs. She doesn't trust them. She's not assessing the situation she's taking out the threat before there is one. She thinks Odysseus will prove her right by giving in
The english accent is on purpose! The actors are not english i believe they just… thought it would be good i guess? And it IS good😭
Yeah I believe she said that was her artistic choice and Jorge loved it
Someone said that they found Troy's accent a little jarring after only hearing them sing as the god of messengers
Jorge wanted the Circe saga to feel a little to the left compared to the rest of Odysseus’ journey, kind of a small island in a different world, and the accent change plus more pop-music sound helped with that!
10:00 if I remeber correctly, Hermes is Ody's ancestor. Grangrandpa or sth
I think he's the great grandpa. If I remember Hermeses's son, was Anticlea Odysseuses mom's dad
Fun fact for Wouldn’t You Like: During livestreams where Jay releases the songs and canon visuals, after Odysseus eats the root it says “Odysseus begins to glow. POWER UP!” Those “Oohhhh!”s were from him. It showed the Moly taking effect.

I am *loving* his zodiac series. 🤩🤩
For the Underworld Saga, I recommend these great animatics:
The Underworld- Falperio05
No Longer You- Ximena Natzel
Monster- Gigi
Agree on all but the underworld. I think the one by TheeArteest is great
I really appreciate you doing a full genuine reaction to Epic. Circe saga is one of my faves.
"Why is this giving Hamilton" (3:25). That's literally EXACTLY what i said after i listened to this a while ago!
Wait until you hear Ismarus (one of the cut songs). That one gives MASSIVE Hamilton vibes.
Ah yes, the winion's collective adoration of Troy's (hermes) voice.
Fun fact Talya who plays Circe is Jorges (the creator and Odysseus) girlfriend!!!
The voice of Circe is Talya Sindel! She's incredible singer and the English accent she's doing isn't her natural accent so she's also just an incredible voice actor (Same with Troy, voice of Hermes, he's American, he's just really good at voices), and through doing epic Talya and Jay (voice of Odysseus and creator of epic) started dating and are still together!
Ah, the 'Mathew hates on the english' saga
mathew hates on the english... and hates on ody
"What Beef does Hermes have withe Circe?"
... they used to date.....😅
Also Odysseus is Hermes Grandgrandson, so there is a bias😊
The dating part wasn’t part of the original story, it was from a 2018 novel called Circe
circe is also a child of hermeses so i dont think that has anything to do with it
@genokira5056 She’s a child of Helios, not Hermes
17:36 ELPENOR ON THE ROOF GETTING DRUNK 😭😭

6:44 I think they pronounce it as himena
(He-men-ah) 👍 ❤️
11:54 copyright? im pretty sure jorge makes sure everyone could use his sounds freely without copyright
TH-cam side i think, theyre doing it not jorge
@Exiled_Theseus TH-cam did shut down the wisdom saga premier, which was just funny
@@anastasija6866 and the chat immediately quoted "whatcha gonna do about that?" to Jorge. It was hilarious. Especially since he had said a few days before that that line was living rent-free in his brain.
Oh i didnt know about that it so funny 😂😂@@radicaledward84
Hermes is Oddys great-grandpa, maybe that's why he's helping him
10:08 just saying hermes was known as the one god who actually helped people, especially travellers (being the god of travellers, and odysseus is definitely a traveller) with no strings attached, simply cause he felt like it or something, no ulterior motive.

The girl who voices Circe is actually Jorge's girlfriend.
Love the circle saga! Can't wait for you to listen to the Hexagonal dodechahedron saga.
In the book Circe, she explains that she only turned men into pigs who tried to SA her. She’d set them up by showing that she lived alone, feeding them, and that there was no men on the island. She put the necessary herbs for her spells in their food, and if they tried to act, she’d turn them into pigs. She does specify that she has let men go, but the amount she let go she could count on one hand.
I mean the book of Circe isn’t fairly accurate, and came way after traditional stories
Ody trust Hermes cuz Hermes iş a God that just do whatever he feel like and dont expect something ın the end plus ody is his grand grand childe
Omg I saw your comment and was like when did I write that 😂
@@jordanking3400 and İ thought why dıd İ send my self a commentım making a animation for school and its 2am mabey thats why💀
Mathew McKenna and Epic the musical? Two of my favourite things??? hell yeah.
Fun fact: Hermes is Odysseus' great grandfather so that is why he genuinely helps him.
thats such a fire tshirt what
Troy Doherty is the singer for Hermes AND HE'S MUSIC IS SO GOOD YOU SHOULD CHECK HIM OUT!!!! :D
there are other ways is my absolute favorite epic song, jorge and talya just sound incredibly perfect together🤩🤩🤩
Fun fact- the voice of Hermes, Troy Doherty, has his own music under the name TROY and it also freaking SLAPS
Hermes helps because 1 Odysseus is his great grandson and 2 he loves the drama
7:22 For some reason it makes more sense to me that they have English accents rather than American.
Probably because typically in historical dramas they always make the romans and Greeks British.
To be fair I think Americans (non Europeans) tend to view Europe as more sophisticated like anyway
@@lunarialoonatic ha!
Can’t wait to finish watching!
MATHEW ITS TWO IN THE MORNING OMG
Go to sleep! Why are you awake at 2 in the morning?!
@ Lmao I’m studying!!
@@Honey_Bear-wu3cenot anymore you’re not!
@@Honey_Bear-wu3ce r u studying greek mythology?
He released this video at 3pm for me
Always ready for epic
Hermes has absolutely no beef with Circe he just wants to help his (great)grandkid
1:30 THANK YOU! That's what I've been asking for
FINALLY THE CIRCE SAGA
The good part about being a reaction TH-camr who doesn't shut up is that you don't have to do much for copyright.
Sad part is that he missed “A woman”
This is my second favorite saga! And the underworld is my favorite, so its coming up!!
Ah yes The HERMES Saga (part 1)
I have the other ways to persuasion animatic so much and i just noticed elpenor on roof😂
The vocalist for circe and jorge date in real life
I don't know if it's the reason but idk any others he might have, Herme's is actually Ody's great grandfather, so that might be why he helped ody!
I also used to think it was circle 😅
My favorite saga of the Act 1. That final note from Circe is crazy.
Fun fact: Jorge herrans (Odysseus’ singer) and Talia Sindel (Circe’s singer) are a couple, so the ‘other ways of persuasion’ worked on IRL Ody
I also thoght it was the Circle Saga for sooo long!!!
17:37 it’s Elpenor!!
Hermes is one of the few gods that would help out heroes, whether it's for his own entertainment or to cause chaos. He doesn't need beef with the other god to help out, plus Odysseus is his great grandson not that means much to the gods but it means Hermes is more inclined to help out than he normally is.
I wonder what Mathew's reaction would be if he watched Anniflamma's There are other ways animatic...?😅🤣
Hermes has no beef with Circe Odysseus is his great grandson
Fun fact! Hermes is Odysseus great great grandfather that’s prob why he helps them and Circe and Hermes had smth going on at some point
The dating part wasn’t part of the original story, it was from a 2018 novel called Circe
@ oh okay thank you for telling me
If I might make a suggestion, The Underworld by Falperio05 is an amazing anamatic, but not many have seen it because the creator is on the smaller side. I highly recommend it!
YESS MY FAVORITE SAGA
Is that Elpenor on the roof? 17:35
Yeah he issss
The fact you talked through Circe's final belt *hurt* me but good reaction regardless👍
Matthew did it too!!!!! I was calling it the circle saga for like the first week!🤣🤣😅😅 He at least has Felicity to correct him!
7:34 Its not beef against circe so much as an incentive to help Odysseus. Odysseus is Hermes grandkid or something like that. They're family basically
WE HAVE THE CIRCE SAGA BOIS!
Fun fact hermes is Odysseys's great grandfather so if you where wondering why he wanted to help him you have your reason he also warned Cercie too in the myth so he could just just be playing a game with them
0:45 "wee wee wee, all the way home" was my immediate reaction
Thank you so much for this video! I always look forward to your posts, especially about Epic. I just lost my 2 year old cat and seeing this brightened my day.
wooo the circe saga is amazing! can't wait to see your reaction to the underworld saga!
Oh I love this. I like that you’re reviewing the ones you’ve already seen too.
fun fact hermes is related to Odysseus
other fun fact hermes is a god that gives stuff the people just to see what will happen if he does and doesn't want anything in return and hermes also just wants to make choas is he doesn't have anything against Circe
Hopes this helps
Fun Fact: The woman who plays Circe, Talya Sindel, is in a relationship with Jorge Rivera-Herrans (the guy who wrote EPIC and plays Ody), and they have the absolute cutest relationship ever.

Glad you are going through it in order now (don't worry I won't take your first born for going in random order at first)
Now he needs to watch the ⭐Hermes⭐ and Jay episodes! Hermes is one of the best characters from Epic
Hermes is also the great grandfather of Odysseus!!! probably one of the reasons why he helps him
HERMES!! MY FAVORITE BOY!! LETS GOOOOO
God i LOVE Troy (Hermes' VA) hes got such a wonderful energy and voice
Oh I can’t wait for the Underworld Saga 😍 it’s so good
10:14 actualy hermies is also a good of travelers, and a trickster good, so he often just show up, give some traveler some op shit, and fucks off to watch what happens for the fun of it. so he is one of the very few that doesn’t have strings attatched to gifts beond this might be funny
Hermes usually tends to help people out without any strings attached that’s why Ody trusted him so quickly
Explanation for Cerberus/ hellhounds being one or three dog(s) according to Google: Cerberus is considered a three-headed dog in Greek mythology, meaning it is essentially one dog with three heads; so, it is considered "one dog" with multiple heads.
Matthew just casually skipping that GORGEOUS endnote! 😂 ( no hate!)
Omg I didnt notice el pinor on the roof at the end 😂
16:03 "i miss my wife, tails." head ahh-
11:27 fun fact, circe only turns men into pigs when they eat her food, because the food is laced with the magic pic-ification spell drugs or whatever.
THANK YOU THANK YOU YOU MAKE ME HAPPY ANYTIME YOU POST AN EPIC VIDEO
Odysseus is Hermes’ great great grandson i believe thats why he was so happy to see him and listened to him so quickly without question.
Mathew, since you seemed to love Herme's songs, I highly recommedd listening to some of TROY's songs, TROY being the singer for Hermes
In the Odyssey I think that Hermes gave Ody the root AND warned Circe about Ody. He really just wanted to see the chaos unfold
I'm pretty sure Hermes is actually Ody's grandfather in some way, that's why he actively tries to help him. Also, pretty sure Poseidon's whole issue with Ody is that he's Athenas Champion (or was) and we all know how much he doesn't like her.
I will also never get over Ody just flopping back down on the couch talking about missing his wife back home, its just too chill and funny for the situation he's in. 😆😆
Great reaction!
The next saga is my favorite LETS GOOO
Cerebos has 4 head (3 dog heads and a snakes head as part of the tail.).
