tbf to Polyphemus, it's like if somebody broke into your house, shot your dog, and then tried to apologise by offering you weed. of course he went John Wick on their asses.
I mean, not if you think of it from the pov of the time period and culture. Herds of wild sheep weren't uncommon, and hunting some to feed you and your allies/men while traveling was hardly unheard of. Not to mention, the law of hospitality at the time, which was a BIG deal, would have Polyphemus as the one in the wrong. It was an honest mistake and saying you'll kill the leader last after his men is not a gift nor any way to treat someone who is technically your guest under that law of hospitality. SPOILER IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THE ODYSSEY: Even Poseidon realized it was Polyphemus' fault when he later heard the full story from his son. That's why he gave up on chasing and tormenting Odysseus later in the story.
@cutecorgiis5230 According to the law of hospitality at the time; Yes. From what I read, the homeowner was expected to feed and house travelers for a few days before even asking more of the guest(s) as long as certain rules were followed. Plus, the fact that it was a random cave and not an easily distinguishable home makes "breaking in" a stretch.
@@Lanternman2814 it must really suck to live in those times. I cant imagine having to cater to every stranger that randomly shows up, like imagine you have nothing to offer them then youd immediately be breaking to rules.
Don't be afraid to stop and rewind, especially when commentating. It is always vexing as a user when the reactor is talking and it feels like their missing important information. Odysseus tells the cyclops his name is "Nobody" which is an important detail and it seemed like you didn't catch it. Criticism aside, you're doing great man. The death of Polites is heartbreaking and was exactly the reaction I was looking for.
Seconding this. At least when I watch a reaction I'm there to get the person's thoughts on stuff, so I didn't mind them taking a second to parse information and take it back to talk about it. Another style that can work if going back in the middle would ruin the reactor's experience for themselves is watching through once without in depth commentary while making note of what they want to talk about, and any confusion, then going back through the media and breaking it down. Still a very good reaction though, and another one joins the Epic pain train.
Just so you know, the creature in the video is the artist’s interpretation of a Cyclops. They took several creative liberties with the design, but they’re typically seen as large monsters with relatively human features besides their one eye on the middle of their faces. That particular Cyclops was in fact named Polyphemus.
Polyphemus is pronounced /Poh-lee-fee-mus/ -if you listen to the chant at the beginning of Survive, you’ll actually hear the chants of his name per syllable. “Po! Ly! Phe! Mus!” The explanation for that is Jorge took inspiration from boss battles in video games that chant the name of the level’s boss.
2:39 I like how here this animation demonstrates how to Cyclops had no ill will at first and was just curious about what strangers were doing in the room
I think Polyphemus was insulted that the life of his favorite sheep was worth wine to Odysseus and he didn’t even apologize not that it would make a difference it won’t bring back his sheep
also when the beats go low, high, low. In what seems like a triangle that is his “danger motif” and while you hear them say Polyphemus it’s also in that motif!
As others have said, please don't be afraid to pause when you have commentary to make. That way you don't risk missing critical lyrics. Also make use of replaying parts if you need or want to, like if you think you mishear something or can't make out a particular lyric. Also once you get to the Ocean Saga, I suggest watching Gigi's animatic of Keep Your Friends Close, and AnniFlamme's of Ruthlessness. Gigi also has one for Ruthlessness that gets tied directly into from Keep Your Friends Close, but the imagery in AnniFlamme's version just strikes me as more fitting.
Something worth knowing is last I checked it Epic is going to be a sung through musical, so each song does lead directly into the next and there aren't going to be spoken scenes added into the stage production. So this really did happen this early in the story. Yes the sunshine boy is unfortunately gone, and it's much sooner in Epic than when he dies in the Odyssey. Thematically and dramatically it makes sense for Epic, but it still feels like he was taken way way too soon. Thank you for continuing to react to this, and I hope you continue having a good (?) time with the rest of it.
You also have to realize the cyclops was seen as a child. If you kill a violent kid's pet and offer him a little treat Im sure they still wouldn't make the right decision. An angry cyclops in general is still scary though.
@@fleischsalat318 I remember it from the odyssey since my Mythology class read key parts of it with summerized versions of the rest. We as a class enjoyed making fun of certian parts and that was a key one
@alfana15 Okay, interesting. I love running jokes.😄 I bought Homer's Iliad and Odyssey a while ago but then I said to myself "I'll wait so I don't get spoiled". Since then I've been reading everything about Greek mythology that came up to me on the internet instead of just finally reading the book 🤦🏼♀️ Is English your native language? Is reading the Odyssey hard in English, because it really seems to be in German. And I'm already one of those who loves outdated German. And the Germans themselves cannot speak their own language. I am feeling ashamed for that 🤦🏼♀️ I'm leaving Germany as soon as I'm out of school haha😅👌🏻 I'm also full of envy for you read such books in school. We read really weird ones which I hate...
@@fleischsalat318 Its not too difficult, especially with a teacher who can help translate certian parts and explain the culture to why the story happens and themes to look for,
Oooooh I cannot IMAGINE having to stop after the second video, I'd be thinking about it at work all dang day! Your responses are my favorite so far, I love watching you get excited (and devastated like the rest of us, lol). It's also SUPER interesting watching someone experience this musical without any context! I was already spoiled on the plot since I've read a lot of Greek/Roman mythology, but there were still so many moments I'd forgotten and others that made me emotional despite knowing what would happen. I'm so eager to see how you'll react to specific songs/scenes while going in completely "blind"!
1) Just wait until the 5th saga you will totally love the first song 🙂 2) Polyphemus is pronounced /Poh-lee-fee-mus andd in the beginning of survive you can here the solders/crowd saying po ly phe mus 3) Odysseus named himself nobody cause he is a nobody(joke) he named himself because polyphemus might snitch on him (you would know soon) time for the storyline The winions told polities and odysseus to go to the cave where the founds sheeps alot of them and they were like cool this enought to feed the entire fleet where they found a cyclops named polyphemus the art had him look terrifying but he aint that scary he is the son of- nvm you would know soon and yes polities dies in the musical its devastating like literally and the trauma has just started!!!!!! enjoy!!! btw i would love to be on a random person board name it Hania!!
I remember when I watched the survive animatic and got chills all over as the crew members got clubbed to death with the close up of Odysseus/Ulysses getting their blood on his face… Polites was best boy o7
1-yes the cyclops/demon is Polyphemus. And its pronounced (paa-luh-fee-muhs) I would say google how to pronounce it if you want. 2-yes polities died. We are all saddened P.S could i plz be on the white board? You could but Raven or Unfair for my name
ItsVideo in the previous reaction: "Oh, Polites is going to die. It's being foreshadowed heavily." ItsVideo in this video: "Holy shit I did not see that coming!"
what make it even funnier is the cylocps here is a child / teen sooo ody and his boys go into a child cave , kill his best friend / pet . give the kid wine and than blind him
Polites i KNOW THAT I WOULD DIE WHEN YOU SEE THE BROKEN GLASS ON THE MINIATURE AND I WAS CRYING INSIDE note to every fan of every type of fiction :The first to die is always the sunshine or the bad who became good
Why's everyone defending Polyphemus as if Odysseus intended to 'break into his home and kill his sheep'. The lotus eaters literally told them, 'go there for FREE food'.
@@foxtrot-gamesandwit4475 Still. As Ody said, he led with peace when he realized that he was in the wrong. We all know that if he was aware that a sheep-loving-cyclops lived in that cave, they wouldn’t have been there in the first place, so everyone needs to get off his back. Also, Ody killed ONE sheep and apologized and the cyclops was like. “Yeah, I don’t care that you apologized for killing one of my sheep, even though you didn’t know I existed, I’m still going to kill all 601 of you”
I hope you react to the other Polyphemus animatic, the other one is better, not saying this one isn't, it's just there's something about the one done by WolfyTheWitch that this one misses imo. I think it's because the gravitas in Wolfy's animatic is felt stronger. Also, Wolfy's Polyphemus looks like how Cyclops were drawn and described, this one just looks like an Eldritch horror and I don't find it intimidating because of it.
Makes sense but I kinda prefer this cyclops because it really sells that he’s Poseidon’s son with the crab head representing god of the ocean and the legs showing how he’s also god of horses

BREAK him boys!

It's alright! You're learning! You're reactions will get better as you get further into the musical.

Well it's safe to said that you didn't 'Survive' the Cyclops Saga🥲🥲🥲 R.I.P Polities, best boy❤❤❤
Polites the most polite character.
this Polyphemus is eldrich horror looking with the head in the shape of a crab and a cloven feet and tail of a horse.

Don’t forget “Remember Them” my friend!! It is my favorite one 😊

sooo ody and his boys
go into a child cave , kill his best friend / pet . give the kid wine and than blind him
Every reactor I’ve seen goes through the 5 stages of grief after Polites dies.
Except Peter Barber, he only cares about the cool bass part.
