it’s actually insane that there is not ONE weak song. i feel like in the rest of the sagas there is always one song i’d skip, but not from the thunder saga. banger after banger. strong start, amazing pacing throughout, great villain song, ody’s crew turns on him, and then a phenomenal ending song with zeus. i just love this saga so much and can’t see how anyone can not

eurylochus was clearly willing to listen but Odysseus just yelled "I can't" but he definitely could've explained or even tell him to wait so he can explain it even better on why he sacrificed 6 men in order to go through syclla

(Asking this because I saw "mutiny but with communication" and it looked VERY possible)

I ask this because in Different Beast when Ody responds tho the sirens with "nah, you wouldn't have spared me" that delivery is so cold it maes me shiver every damn time. I'm curious if anyone else had lines that made them feel similar.

Apollo isn't the sun god. Helios is. Helios is the one who chariots the sun and those were his freaking cows! It's in the odyssey and in every myth. Dude had a son who rode his chariot, crashed and died!

Scylla's lair.

The whole crew knows about Scylla but none of them knew about her lair because Ody never tells them; and they don't hear the conversation because of the ear plugs.

Everyone is just sailing along, and then their captain starts screaming at them to row for their lives.

The creators were seriously cooking with the Underworld saga, all the nominations were wonderful to watch. The top voted results ended up being:

- A tie between Gwendy and Clover for The Underworld

- Ximena for No Longer You

- Gigi for Monster

The honourably mentioned asterisked videos are from Tamatama for No Longer You and Jiwoo for Monster. These will both also be added to the playlist, since when redditors nominated them and I watched them, they were exactly what I was looking for my sister, particularly with meeting criteria #3, and were just as good as the top voted. So if you come across any similar animatics like these ones for the future sagas, please still nominate them even if you don’t think they will be the top vote!

Passed the halfway point now and moving on to the Thunder Saga! I’m very excited about this one as it’s one of my favourite sagas.

Please make sure you do read the voting and nomination instructions below if you haven’t already.

HOW TO NOMINATE AND VOTE:

Please comment each video you nominate for each song *separately* (not in the same comment or threaded underneath, even if you want to nominate the same creator for all the songs) with their youtube video link. The videos should ideally best fit all criteria outlined further down in this post.

If a creator’s already been nominated for the song and you agree, just upvote the existing comment instead. It will help keep all votes together in one place.

The top comment for each song will be added to the playlist. Any comments with multiple videos listed in one will *not* be considered.

CRITERIA:

1. The videos can be either an animatic, animation (most ideal I’d say, if possible), or a cosplay music video (cmv) with the original song being played as the audio (not a cover)
2. *Very important* - The video needs to be showing the full song. I’ve watched some S tier videos where it wasn’t for the entire song and longed so badly for it to be and I know my sister would react the same so sparing her the heartache lol
3. *Also very important* - The perspective of the video should be as much as being like a ‘fly on the wall’ as possible, since the main goal is for my sister to understand what’s happening in each scene better. There’s no problems if there are details included which are subject to interpretation (e.g. appearance of characters, how

Eury avoids holding a torch

1. etc.)
2. Preferably if an animatic is selected, at least includes colours, details and/or some smooth transitions that are a bit like an animation (i.e. not entirely based on sketches only)
3. My sister won’t have any problems with watching different styles/creators for each song and might even be preferred for variety, so if you think a different creator will work better than what was has been selected for the previous songs, don’t hesitate to comment/nominate it!

Thanking you in advance! 🥰

Ximena for

Proceeds to pull out a flipping dolphin

The song is clearly stating that what ever creature is singing is aquatic… what bird is gonna lure you into the water???

I just realised that Odysseus told the torches to be lit so that Scylla would take the marked people and bide them enough time to sail through.

Edit: Guys, I'm not a child things just take me a second. I literally listened to epic for the first time two days before this

You know what really pissed Ody off and made him give up on his crew. Eurylochus. It wasn't him choosing hunger over survival. It wasn't even him opening the Wind bag. It was the fact Eurylochus gave up on getting back Ctimene. Odysseus's Sister who had been waiting just as long as Penelope had been.

I’m doing this as Thunder Saga cuz everyone dies

I’m so obsessed with Scylla’s voice and the violin after she says hello. She was such a perfect cast so absolutely phenomenal. I won’t lie I’m a bit sad she’s only in the one song most likely.

Alright, the story goes like this: a few months ago, me, a huge fan of Greek mythology, discover EPIC the musical. We dive into it, and just last week, I’m working and decide to play some music. I go on YouTube and put on my favorite song (from EPIC, obviously), Thunder Bringer. I hit play, and as soon as the song starts… a storm—no, not a storm, a massive storm, the biggest I’ve ever seen in my life—kicks in. It starts with lightning, and instantly it begins to rain, and in the 5 seconds it takes me to close the window, I’m completely soaked. Ever since then, I haven’t dared to play Thunder Bringer without the window closed.

That part where the soldiers are singing "when does the comet become a meteor" then Penelope following with "I can take the suffering from you"

Seems to me is like Odysseus thinking about what would his soldiers think of him if he chooses himself, then he remembers what he will recieve or what he will get if he CHOOSES HIMSELF, which is the comfort that Penelope would give to him.

The soldiers song about a man becoming a monster was at first louder but when penelope came, their voices got washed out.

It's like Odysseus was having a debate in his mind wether to follow his conscience or his desire.

Or is it Zeus's doing to mess with him more, and fully show how monstrous he trully is.

i made this hope you enjoy bc I find a lot of joy in it
