Reacting to EPIC: The Musical Animatics! 

To be fair the Greek gods are massive jerks and they were all pushing him to be ruthless. Was this an actual Prophecy or was Zues just trying to shape him.

​@@danteglory95 this reminds me of oedpius rex -main character that no matter what you can't escape the prophecy. So zeus telling him is pretty good because no matter what zeus said or would not have said the prophecy would happen only greek myths you can't escape your destiny it's determine to the very end.

​@@danteglory95 The story does make clear what actual prophecies are. Most greek tales like this are written as prophecy being fulfilled, which is why it was pretty normal for a guy to come in around halfway through and spoil the rest of the story in the form of a prophecy. All this to say while from the outside we can make these snarky remarks, within the story all this is predetermined to a point. Odysseus will always make it home, but he will also always kill the infant. Which is why the question is "When does a man become a monster?" because we already know that is where it is going the moment he asks it.

@@danteglory95 Both. When Odysseus' character goes "what if I raise him as my own?" Zeus goes: 'He will burn your house down' O: What if I send him away and hide the truth? Z: I will make it known!

yeah, its basically the ancient trolley problem

​@@mielliot13ancient trolley problem 😂😭

I think it's both

@@ssbruvthe wagon problem-

There are animations for the underworld saga, if I’m not mistaken there is at least one for each song

Actually all three of the underworld saga songs have full animatics

@@omarsalem1219 awesome! I haven't seen any yet so I wasn't certain

​@@deranged_dragon9471 Yup, all three Underworld: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DWDkfAccx0k.htmlsi=JpeyXzoHPsTWSj3A No Longer you: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-p_3IGTwcRik.htmlsi=RCDG59C6quxNqFAB Monster: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zkI_pUxKOnA.htmlsi=fWJMEvmx0bDboXrA

Gigi has released their Monster now so every underworld song now has at least 3 animatics to choose from if I'm counting right.

Omg i live your reactions man!! And yep, gotta agree with you there, this fandom is addicting as all hell❤❤

There will for sure be more thank you for checking this video out :D

Oh hey Mortius, didn't expect to see you here

Mortius is here to watch someone else face the coming heartbreak.

MORTIUS?! What?! Fancy seeing you here!

Isn’t a lot of th story like confirmed? Up until the underworld I thiught that they were the final songs

@@AstaGruwier-vi5htthis is the official release of the concept songs, were this to become an actual musical there would be more connecting scenes between each saga and sometimes songs. Though these are the final versions of each songs like you said.

"And its in order?!?!" MATHEW 😭

⁠​⁠@@fireatwilliamYess, Mathew😢

@@fireatwilliam ohnooo xd Mathew is not the only one lmao 😅

IN ORDER😭💙 this is the part where most reactions hurt the most

Zeus also told him that if he tried to hide it, the Gods would screw with Odysseus and tell the kid the truth, forcing the "prophecy" to come true. "The Gods will make him know."

​@@TailsFan I mean some of the Gods were on the Trojan side so yeah they definitely would

I will dive into the musical but for now I may stick with the animatics with the work schedule and traveling I do over the summer it will be easier

*they're.

@@speedy01247 God dammit

The last 3 of the Troy saga comes tomorrow and then I'll be back to record more on Monday or tuesday

*stands in your way* But he needs to do them in order yggyivfyyfvu /pos

Thank you for recommending this its been amazing I should have the next 3 animatics up by Thursday night or Friday morning hoping

​​​​@@ItsVideoYT Idk if you understood the plot and who is in it bc I'm here rn 8:26 But this musical is about Greek mythology! The man is Odysseus, from the Odyssey! I've known Greek mythology for years now and discovered epic 1/2 years ago so here are some facts! Music facts: 1)Every main character that has its own song/ big part of a song has its own main instrument! Example: Odysseus: nilon guitar, guitar, and electric guitar Each one of these guitars has it's own reason to be played Im not gonna say it (bit be on the look out for it) 2)Characters that sing in the background when a human is singing are actual characters in the show so, (yes sir in: 3:20 what'd do you live for, what do you try for what do you wish for, what do you fight for in: 3:32 ) are Odysseus's men/fleet BUT when a god is singing he/she can make voices and it doesn't have to be actual characters in the show like (ha ha ha in 5:24 or Penelope in 6:10) those are voices created by the god Zeus! 3) there is a danger motif so when a character is in danger/ is angry and or becoming dangerous a danger motif will play! 4) *i have more musical fun facts but i can't say em unless you want to have spoilers so each time u release a new video ill tell you about each song so it won't be a spoiler* OTHER FUN FACTS: 1)Some gods have an animal representation *(2 of these May be a spoiler)* Not a spoiler anymore: Zeus: halk/eagle Thats why you hear and see an eagle in the first song *May be spoilers* Athena: owl Since she is the goddess of wisdom Poseidon: horse 2)THESE ANIMATICS AREN'T CANNON! These wonderful animators listen to the songs and watch jorges behind the seens TikToks/yt vids and go off of them so it's not rlly Cannon-cannon but you can go off of them bc they are cannon enough, but the character design will vary and some animations may have small different plots!

18 songs to go, so far lol

And the rest of his people - Zeus says the kid will destroy Ithica as well, so there's not just two lives riding on this one. IDK why but that makes it make more sense for me.

I should've paid more attention in history 😅

I mean the Spartans were part of the alliance. Menelaus was a Spartan and Helen was his wife. So the Spartans were a huge part of the Trojan War. But yes, no principal characters in EPIC are Spartans.

Tbf, Spartans are Greeks, too. In fact Helen was the Queen of Sparta and this whole war was instigated by her kidnapping and Menelaus, the King of Sparta taking all of Greece to war over it.

Yessss this! Co-signed on these recommendations. Also if you want to make it hurt worse-I mean, have even more of an interesting reaction that Epic fans will appreciate-look up the cut song “Your Light” and watch that before “Polyphemus”

I am replying to this so he hopefully sees it beacuse when people watch it out of order it makes me go sad

I would definitely recommend reacting to mircsy's My Goodbye rather than Wolfy's purely because, whilst both are stunning, mirscy has a lot of recurring elements from her Warrior of the Mind, so they go together really nicely. I would also suggest checking out Gigi's Ruthlessness, I know Anniflamma's is the classic but Gigi better captures what a petty, sadistic piece of shit Poseidon is. Also check out Gwendy for Done For and There Are Other Ways if you haven't already, I'm not saying they're superior but she does such a good job with Circe and she's a cool person who deserves more love.

@@liminalpsych also yes watch Your Light between the Troy and Cyclops sagas, it shows more about a relevant relationship and it's really fucking sweet :3

I prefer Gigi's version of Ruthlessness

We wouldn’t know, Menelaus of Sparta never had a line or a song in Epic haha

​@@SantosoWijayaLMAOO i mean he might therest still act 2, i think telemachus goes to sparta or was it a different place?

​​@@SantosoWijayai checked and yes telemachus is advised by athena to look for his father and one of the places she tells him to go to is sparta, where he speaks to Menelaus, idk how much of that is in the musical tho so 🤷‍♂️

Thank you sauce :D
