Part 4! Such an interesting, captivating (and unexpected) piece both from musical and narrative perspectives. Early access for this video is already available on my Patreon if you'd like to catch it sooner! Part 5 will be there in the coming days as well :]

@ioanzatui Месяц назад

Lol, in this story, Odysseus and Polites are genuinely best friends. Odysseus has only one person in his heart, and that's his Queen Penelope. But Odysseus and Polites have great chemistry.

@Dawn_the_dragon Месяц назад

Yep. And considering how this is Greek mythology and everyone is probably bisexual it wouldn’t be too out of character. Especially after listening to your light. It’s a very nice head cannon and just a fun idea

Most Greek men tend to be portrayed as at LEAST bi-curious (as Red from OSP puts it- 'with a wife he likes alright and a boyfriend he likes way more'), but part of Odysseus's whole thing is that he's super faithful to his wife (especially in this version), so any romantic interest is just the interpretation of the animator. Also, Jay specifically says that he gives Odysseus a nylon-string guitar when he's opening up emotionally.

@VictoriaStarratt Месяц назад

Hey fellow OSP and Epic fan!

@MildlyPerturbed Месяц назад

In the musical, they’re supposed to be childhood best friends, as Odysseus is devoted to his wife Penelope. Though I can see Polites and Odysseus together as a fun headcanon.

@keket3277 Месяц назад

The animators get direct inspiration/information from the actual Odyssey story. They do take some artistic liberties here and there ex. the lotus eaters were just humans in the original story. You also made a good connection with Percy Jackson because the lotus casino was also based on this part of the Odyssey story!

@Ansixilus Месяц назад

I remember when OSP Red was describing Achilles as the epitome of ancient Greek manliness, "with a wife he likes alright and a boyfriend he likes much more." So, it's very possible that he loved Penelope enough to strive this hard to return, and loved Polites as much as well.

@nutelasaur9453 Месяц назад

@Moonchild0 Месяц назад

Odysseus and Polites are more brothers then best friends. That's why they have this close relationship. Polites is more possitive, naiv/blinded wheres Odysseus seems more like the realist. The Lotus people are cannibals. Jorge intended to give them more childish/alienate-voices to make it clear that they're not "normal" humans. Most fan-animators tend to give them globlin-like creatures.

@seohyeonchoi2150 Месяц назад

I would love a collab between you, Mortius and Casper reacting to at least one song! Also, please get distracted by the story- this is a musical after all!

@seohyeonchoi2150 Месяц назад

in the Odyssey, lotus causes people who eat it to be in a state of bliss and never want to leave the island, hence Odysseus stops his men from eating them so they can go home.

@MildlyPerturbed Месяц назад

If you read Percy Jackson Sea of Monsters, that book is a loose retelling of the Odyssey! So you may continue to recognize the characters as the musical progresses!

@Starlightsims735 Месяц назад

Odysseus has a wife that in Epic he will not cheat on. Polites is the life long best friend

@seohyeonchoi2150 Месяц назад

Yes! I don't understand why so many people label Ody as gay when his core goal to return to his wife and son. Everyone was upset before full version of There Are Other Ways he might be cheating, yet have no problem shipping him with Polites. Why can't he just have a very close platonic friend?

I’m pretty sure that flash at the end of the song was just the next song with Athena happening, she has the ability to sort of freeze time and have whole conversations and flashbacks in an instant! (Or in this case a song)

@sunnysunsins_4920 Месяц назад

04:01 Ahem... well... for a part of Epic fandom Odysseus and Polites are the greek Alexander Hamilton and John Laurence. If you know you know. They're very close buddies. But Ody got his Penelope... who he hasn't seen for 10+ years.... **looks off into distance* And after that question, reacting to the cut song "Your light" is mandatory

@disableddragonborn Месяц назад

The "flower creatures" are actually officially part of Epic, they're called Winions, and there are even plushies. The Lotus Eaters on the Island of the Lotus Eaters in Homer's _The Odyssey_ are just people.

@winstonpham4809 Месяц назад

I will say you are reading too much into it as Polites is his best friend and he is just trying to comfort Oddyseus If you ignore the apple bit

@anajuliaseverino2709 Месяц назад

The thing about it being like a side quest is actually something i think about a lot of moments on the musical! Like some songs are more transitory to bigger moments. Since Jorge took a lot of inspiration from videogames, i think it's fitting 😂

@disableddragonborn Месяц назад

If you're familiar with Percy Jackson, you'll recognize a lot of stuff in Epic, because "The Sea of Monsters" had a lot of stuff from _The Odyssey_ in it.

@sapphire_sphynx Месяц назад

You should definitely give "Your Light" a listen for more of Odysseus and Polities's story. It's a cut song from the musical, but it has an animatic and it is worth listening to. Great reaction and I love your commentary! ❤

@doloresgronenberg5882 Месяц назад

But it's normal when you're very close to someone that is a good friend of yours to have that closeness and kind of chemistry but in a friendly and platonical way, people just somehow tend to see all closeness like romance (or possible romance) for some reason (they always have even in the past), like two guys apparently can not be too close to each other or they are gay and there are romantic feelings involved (which is a lie, great friends even with your own sex with which you are too close to and confortable with exist), the same way that it's seen many times with a boy and a girl, like if they are too close being of opposite sexes they can't be just friends or best friends, they have to have romantic feelings for each other, which also isn't true, a man and a woman that aren't blood related can also be very close to each other and love each other platonically, not all closeness or apparent chemistry between two people is romantical, you can also get very well along with someone and have chemistry with someone independently on whether they are a man or a woman but still be a platonical love, someone you deeply love and care about and you would even put your life at risk to protect them but not in a romantical way, it just seems that people aren't able to wrap their heads around that concept and have always had difficulty with that

@AtomicFoxMimi Месяц назад

Or you know people have different perspectives on things. I mean people are still at odds about whether or not Achilles and patroclus were lovers, even though that appears to be the case. Especially in context. Like I get it some people are uncomfortable with how invested some people can get in other peoples relationships. Which can cross the line of inappropriate, and even harmful. But let's not make people seem crazy for thinking two people with chemistry are possibly more than friends. @@doloresgronenberg5882

@lizlilliman3644 Месяц назад

There are several musical themes to keep an eye out for. One is the danger motive. You noticed the guitar come in, it came in when Odysseus sand his instrument is the guitar range from acoustic when in a normal mind set to electric when his emotions and rage get the better of him. So its fun spotting all the instruments.

@mrmatrixmusicman8787 Месяц назад

i am so glad you’re reacting to these songs and animations!!!! One recommendation I have is that in the second saga, you watch mircsy’s animatics for “polyphemus”, “survive”, and ESPECIALLY theirs for “my goodbye”. it is amazing!

@sammy0493 Месяц назад

I would say Polities is Odysseus third most important person for him after Penelope and Telemachus of course (his wife and son) but it safe to say that they are really close and i won't be surprised if Odysseus preferred man, Polities might be his partner after all😂😂😂 but in this story they're just homies frr.

@drekfletch Месяц назад

The Odyssey is the sequel to the Illiad. It's the travel journal of Odyseus' road trip home. The entire story is that Odyseus keeps getting pushed to side quests instead of getting home. Lotus Eaters are the ancient version of addicts on hallucinogens.

@Dawn_the_dragon Месяц назад

Hey not sure if you know this the lotus eaters are called winions! They show up on other parts of epic as well and are little tricksters. The lotus eaters aren’t really the same as the winions in the other song they’re in, but jay calls them all winions so it’s good enough for me. In the orginal odyssey the lotus eaters where just some high dudes, so these guys are completely Jorge’s. There basically epics mascot and epic fans often refer to themselves as winions, so If you see people say that, it just means epic fan.

@rakimion Месяц назад

While they are just friends, best friends, even... Odysseus and Polities have clear romantic chemestry. There might have been feelings between then, but in the end, there is only one person for Odysseus, which is Penelope. My take is, as said, They might have had mutual feelings for eachother at one point, but Odysseus' love was won by Penelope rather than Polities. You can be with a person and fall inlove with another, and still remain with the one you're with. It's possible, and not that uncommon.

Yeah, any Odysseus/Polites stuff is really fandom doing what fandom does. Odysseus is WHOLEHEARTEDLY devoted to Penelope, so much so that…well…you’ll find out. And the fan artists’ habit of transplanting the voice actors’ appearances onto the characters’ designs will never not bother me in this particular case. Their habit of giving Polites glasses just because the actor has them when glasses wouldn’t be invented for over two millennia drives my OCD tendencies just a little bit nuts.
