Whoa, this was a crazy ride. I can’t imagine the Circe (*cough* Hermes *cough*) Saga without this version of Hermes 😦😦😦 I love Epic’s final version of Hermes! ❤
Okay that Hadestown inspired Hermes song actually sounded so fun though. I definitely prefer what Hermes ended up being, but I would not be against getting a full version of that song at some point. Could be cool as part of a deluxe album
Totally down with Hermes fighting Calypso, pick on someone her own size. Odysseus Hermes’ hype man in the background 😌 The jazz version is very fun, but you definitely made the right final decision 😁
I love the different takes on Hermes. I'm glad that we can vibe with this current version. It'd be cool if (after Epic is done and released) that some of these drafts get to see the light of day in their own mini releases. Maybe an album of other songs that serve as an alternate universe to what was actually released.
I can't describe how in love I'm with these series (also as a Greek I love seeing a musical version of the odyssey.). I adore all the creativity behind everything and admire the love and care you and the rest of the VAs clearly put in these series. What fantastic work ❤
I love the vague version lol Specially when the harmonies come in however I DO LOVE THE FINAL VERSION😂 THE 🎶 ✨HERMESSSSS ✨🎶 (and jay) episodes were Iconic 😂😂
As many have said, an explanation on the fight scene, please 🙏 😂 Also, the other iteration ideas were cool, but as it usually is, once things fall into place, i can't think of another Hermes for Epic.
I want a playlist in the future for all the cut songs because the original Hermes was interesting. Also not related to this video but your depiction of Hermes in wouldn’t you like made me think of a dnd character who’s Patron was Hermes but Hermes only uses them to deliver messages he doesn’t want to deliver himself
I'm SO GLAD to have the Hermes we have today. The other version sounded cool, and jazz is always cool. But like... He is an ✨ ICON ✨. Having him be so fun and chaotic makes him such a cool standing out character in EPIC, and perfect *meme material.*
1:30 At this point, I had associations with a song from the Disney cartoon Tarzan, where Tarzan's friends were having fun and destroying things that Jane had brought. Honestly, the songs from Tarzan and the previous version with Hermes - Autumn are similar to each other. If anything, I'm just noticing, nothing more. Let's really wait for the early version of how the battle of Calypso and Hermes sounded, hee, heeIt's going to be something incredibly crazy!
Quirky, nerdy Hermes is cute, I'm not gonna lie. Jazz Hermes, god's I'm in LOVE. But nothing beats our present Hermes. Trust Mr. Jalapeno to leave an earth shattering fact at the last millisecond of the video.
PLEASE, YOU NEED TO RELEASE ALL OF THE DEMOS ON EVERYTHING AFTER EPICS DONE, HADESTOWNS BEEN MY FAV MUSICAL FOR. YEARS. AND HEARING WHAT YOUR IDEA OF YOUNG HERMES COULDA BEEN LIKE WAS SO COOL!!!!!
"Oh and just wait until you hear about how there used to be a fight scene between Hermes and Calypso." Jay, my man, you *cannot* just drop that on us at the end of a video without an explaination
one of my favourite things ever will always be that when i was little my dad read a book series called Who Let the Gods Out to me and his voice he used for Hermes sounds exactly like Hermes in Epic in my mind this is just how Hermes sounds in every iteration of himself now there is no changing it
I love that you got inspo from Hadestown (My second favorite musical!) but I love the current Hermes! Also, A FIGHT SCENE BETWEEN HERMES AND CALYPSO?! I NEED TO KNOW MORE-
Wait wait hold on a second! A fight scene between Hermes and Calyso and you just brush past this fact like nothing! Simply unacceptable mr Jalapeno we need a snippet asap
Okay, but the JAZZ song??? Oh wow that had so much potential, but seeing what we have thus far I see why he went with a different route. It DID give me Hadestown vibes. Maybe one day he'll repurpose. I LOVE these behind the scenes looks! ALSO fight between who and WHO?!
Woah that is a crazy journey you went though creating Hermes I think you landed on the perfect Hermes though he very iconic and cool I think he turned out perfect though
Ok, Jorge my man, the solution to your problem is very simple: You will release an official CD version of the complete Epic soundtrack (because you will!!!) and then you will also release a second CD with all the drafted/deleted songs that didn't make the cut! *This way* (reference intended) you will manage to share with the world all your hard work, us the loyal fans will get what we need and the Universe will be in order once again Jorge: but I never said there was a problem- Me in Lotus eater voice: *but we needs*
Thanks for bringing us some background infos :-) I guess you allready figured out, that many of us love this "dangerous" track. To be pricise, this one got me hooked in the first place. I can image, how much stress it must have brought to you, to finaly make decission on the hermes charakter in your making of the circe saga. I must say, i'm happy with the outcome and i'm agerly waiting for the final interpretation of "dangerous" Thanks for doing all this! It brings joy into my life!❤
My headcanon is that hermes himself ( reincarnated in Troy Doherty) heard Jay's nerdy portrayal of hermes and said "nah, lets fix that" and so the hermes - i mean- circe saga came to be
I really want the full New Orleans jazz version of Puppeteer now LUL Always a trip to see the bts of character development, and please elaborate on this fight scene! :P
It’s wild to hear the evolution of what we now call “our Hermes.” !! Did the final iteration fall together naturally or do you storyboard to help inform ur decisions? . 🤯 to think there was ever potential for Hermes to have other lyrics, composition, & character development/voice than what we have now?! Glad you went the direction you did! 😍
DUUUDE YOU CANT JUST LEAVE US LIKE THAT AAAA!! I love the young Hadestown Hermes idea, and this quick implementation was a very accurate way of doing that. Cool idea!😁
After the whole thing is finished I need a separate saga that’s just for scrapped songs/concepts because damn is that and a few other scrapped clips (shown in previous shorts) a banger
