      Hi! I've been a big fan of your reactions for a while now! For a new Musical-themed video I would like to recommend the Musical
      "Hadestown'. The actors all have absolutely stunning voices, especially the actor who plays Orpheus. Road to Hell' & ,Any way the wind blows' are a great introduction to understand the plot.

The least he could do is actually react to songs from the soundtrack otherwise just say you’re reacting to music from Jorge Rivera-Herrans.

    If you don't watch them in order you won't get the story and will be confused the entire time without understanding what's happening. It's basically going to lessen the impact of both the songs and story (like you listened to Just A Man out of order when it's a really important song to the story).
    Please listen to them in order so you don't keep listening to the unreleased songs. Please listen to the produced songs, not the demos. Only 17 of the 40 songs have been released.
    Here's a list of the songs in order:
    TROY SAGA:
    1. The Horse And The Infant
    2. Just A Man
    3. Full Speed Ahead
    4. Open Arms
    5. Warrior Of The Mind
    CYCLOPS SAGA:
    6. Polyphemus
    7. Survive
    8. Remember Them
    9. My Goodbye
    OCEAN SAGA:
    10. Storm
    11. Luck Runs Out
    12. Keep Your Friends Close
    13. Ruthlessness
    CIRCE SAGA:
    14. Puppeteer
    15. Wouldn’t You Like
    16. Done For
    17. There Are Other Ways
    Here's also a playlist I made for the animatics in order:

    9:58 Regarding the is Ithaca a country or a city question: it's kind of both. Ancient Greece and it's mythological More Ancient Greece were organized in poleis, essentially city-states who controlled some land and villages close by. Ithaca is also an island. Considering it is not a huge island, one polis controlled the entire thing, so Poseidon is actually threatening to drown an entire island, not just a city.

    Hey, Mathew, there are 17 songs completed in the musical, why did you chose three that aren't? T^T
    Like. Dude.
    Anyway, in "Get in the Water" Poseidon sounds different because the person singing is indeed Jorge, Odysseus' singer, as this is only the concept of a song that will not come for a WHILE.
    Jorge has a habit of releasing snippets in advance, before they're recorded to make some advertisement. Which is why he was ALSO the one singing Hermes in the "Wouldn't you Like" animatic you chose, despite the fact that the song has been fully released and sang by Hermes' actor, because gigi made that animatic BEFORE the song was put out, using only snippets by Jorge.
    There's a playlist somewhere on youtube with the list of the songs that have actually been broadcasted, if you ever make another EPIC reaction video, you should chose from that and pick out an animatic using it as a baseline. That way you would know if they're shorter than they should be too.

    Some of the voices are gonna be different in some songs, because not all of the songs are released. Jorge (the creator and the guy who plays Odysseus) releases some clips of the songs before they’re performed by the actual voice actors. That’s why in Get In The Water Poseidon sounds different because it’s not Poseidon’s voice actor it’s Jorge, same with Wouldn’t You Like (although that song is out now, the animatic was just created before it was)

    Part Three please!
    Edit: Also, someone else mentioned it, but a lot of the songs you listened to were the demos. Songs that aren't officially out yet, but we have snippets and clips of them. The reason why the voice in "Get in the Water" sounded like Odysseus was because the clip was recorded before Jorge had cast a Poseidon, so he sung both parts himself (yes, that character is Poseidon). I'd recommend sticking to full songs in the future, and of those I'd recommend "The Horse and the Infant" (the first song in the whole thing), "Survive", "Puppeteer", "Keep Your Friends Close" (can't remember if you did that one before or not), and "There Are Other Ways".
    For the necessary context, "There Are Other Ways" takes place directly after "Done For" and finishes that story. "The Horse and the Infant" is the first song of the musical and comes right before "Just a Man". Other than that...you can figure out the rest.

    This video feels like someone picking up a book you love and reading about half of it, skipping ahead, getting confused as to what is going on, backtracking a little but not where they left off, still being confused, then finally moving on towards the extra stuff in the very back. I'm aware this sounds very rude but it would have been so easy and simple to just look up the order of the songs, watch the videos accordingly, and then watching the extra stuff.

    Ok so just to add to the horde of people who have already explained this but: Epic is _not finished_ yet! So when you were listening to Get In The Water and couldnt tell who's voice is whose, that's because it's the same person. Jorge, (aka voice for Odysseus and also the writer and creator of Epic) has not finished writing most of the songs yet, the unfinished ones he releases shorter clips where he does all of the parts and then will release full songs with the actual voices by different people when he finishes that arc of the saga.

    14:07 Heck yeah, one of my favorite songs let's goooooo!
    5:15 Circe did it just 'cause she can, they technically didn't do anything in the OG story. Ancient greek men didn't exactly like the idea of a woman with more power (even some tales of Athena get her almost SA'd, and even though it's not the most common myth about Artemis and Orion as being lovers, that's the one that's stuck around even though that doesn't make sense for her at all and a lot of people of ancient times complained about trying to ship them), so there's no explanation for it in the odyssey myths.
    Circe is a "witch" and witches just do witchy things.
    That being said in a modern perspective when you put all the stories of nymphs (she's the child of helios and a nymph) and how they're normally the victims in myths, and there aren't exactly good stories of what happens when you leave a sailor alone on the sea for too long. Plus you add the that fact she is a greek goddess, even as a demi-god, the greek gods are known to do things just 'cause. Circe a big powerful witch turning people into pigs, kinda valid for the setting. The added context of the last time someone came by they were pillaged is musical only, but it makes sense.
    Another change I like, that the musical did, is that they made it so Odysseus extremely loyal to his wife. In many og versions of the Odyssey, Odysseus is stuck on the island with her for a year, they have several sons and it's implied due to Odysseus's cunning and power bestowed by Hermes (which Hermes is his great grandfather, as is the case with many greek kings being the son of one god/goddess/nymph or another which is why even though Athena left him Hermes still stuck around), he can tame even the most powerful woman. I think that's why I'm really glad Madeline Miller twisted the narrative in her book "Circe." It's just a shame that due to COVID and all the changes with HBO, I don't think we're ever going to get the Circe TV series we were promised (based off previously said book).

    @SuperSonicBlur 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    As many people have mentioned, since this is a retelling of the Odyssey it would be well worth listening to these songs in order as a lot of the songs feed into each other. There are also some pre-release versions of songs with temp voices so keeping the full released version will also help make more sense. Glad that you are enjoying the songs though, now go enjoy the story too!

    So, Dangerous and Get in the Water are not fully released yet, future songs get snippets released, and it hypes everyone up so much. It also sounds like the Get in the Water snippet and Wouldn't You Like snippet you reacted to was a Jorge draft/the audition example, as he released examples and instrumentals for open auditions when he needed characters.
    I know you always jump around when listening to songs, but I think for context you should at some point listen to all the songs in order.

    you should seriously listen in order. PLEASE OH MY GOD. There are 4 sagas out so far, the longest one has 5 songs, you could absolutely do one saga per video. I know normally you don't listen in order but with this musical you REAAAALLLY have to there's so much lost from the songs when you don't know the context, not just storywise but musically, Jay uses motifs and instruments VERY VERY VERY particularly and you'll never catch those things if you listen out of order. PLEASE you are doing yourself SUCH a huge disservice. Here's the sagas that have released so far and their songs in order, if you happen to see this comment and take everyone's advice to listen in order.
    The Troy Saga:
    - The Horse and The Infant
    - Just A Man
    - Full Speed Ahead
    - Open Arms
    - Warrior of the Mind
    The Cyclops Saga:
    - Polyphemus
    - Survive
    - Remember Them
    - My Goodbye
    The Ocean Saga:
    - Storm
    - Luck Runs Out
    - Keep Your Friends Close
    - Ruthlessness
    The Circe Saga:
    - Puppeteer
    - Wouldn't You Like
    - Done For
    - There Are Other Ways
    There's also one more saga, The Underworld Saga, that will be released (hopefully soon) before Act 1 is completed. Then we have another handful of sagas coming for act 2, very exciting :>

If they’d killed him, this entire situation for the most part wouldn’t have happened.

    In the book, the men are gluttonous, and that's why Circe turns them into pigs. She also tries to turn Odysseus into a pig before he reveals himself to be immune to the magic (by threatening her with his sword). She then invites him to her bed to try to lower his guard and enchant him there.
    Hermes is voiced by TROY (and he really is silly goofy).
    Get in the Water isn't officially released yet, and Jay hasn't done a recording with the vocalist for Poseidon. It's also after Calypso's island iirc, which is (in the book) where Poseidon sends a storm to destroy his raft trying to kill him.
    Wouldn't You Like now has an official recording as well, which has better audio quality. Hermes is basically there because Zeus and Athena told him to be there... more or less (I don't know the context within EPIC)
    Please, please watch them in order haha. They make more sense in order, and there's several songs that lead into each other. I know you say you focus too much on the plot, but isn't that the idea with these sorts of musicals? Ah well, enjoyed as always Mathew!
