Welcome to the fan club. I wonder how much you'll be able to Intuit about all the reasons Jorge did things the way he did. Although clearly you're looking at this more in a pure musicality way than in a storytelling way. Which is fine. Doesn't mean you won't catch it all.

I've known Greek mythology for years now and discovered epic 3? 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 its own reason to be played I'm not gonna say which instrument is exactly for which time (bit be on the look out for it) it will change based on emotions btw like fight, mad, happy ect. 2)Characters that sing in the background when a human is singing are actual characters in the show so, (yes sir in: 5:22 and the choire in: 6:06 what'd do you live for, what do you try for what do you wish for, what do you fight for in: 12:10 ) 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: 15:35 or Penelope in: 18:46 ) 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) the clock means Athena is watching ☺️ 5) Odysseus has MANY heart beat times portrayed in drums (Ig) 6) *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) even though the animations aren't cannon you can actually go off of them as visuals because these talented animators watch the behind the scenes of Jorge's TikTok/yt!

​@@leadingblind1629yoooo I've been writing this reply for 20 mins so I was surprised when I sent it I wasnt the first reply 😂

​@@leadingblind1629Helped him out a bit 😸

the clock ticking mean that means athena is watching

If you're familiar with Peter And The Wolf/ Carnival Of The Animals, that was Jorge's inspiration for giving each major character an instrument and a leitmotif.

Awesome -- love that!

@@PeterBarber You also caught the clock, which in this story represents an ability Jorge gave Athena where she can stop time in order to think/speak with someone.

And the Penelope part, I think it’s viola? Her motif is super distinctive, as you will see later on.

He does this with every character, with the exception of Eurylochus

Love that!

HEY!! Are you okay from the last saga?😭

He’s reached the final stage of grief REVENGE Mortius did it to him now he must watch someone else suffer It’s a very important part part of being an epic fan : D

Ah yes, the infant has grown from a boy to an avenger I see

CF out here watching other reaction channels descend into Epic madness to process his own pain 🤣

@@feldfosful I wouldn't be surprised cause I would do the same😭 but he should be prepared for the rest of the musical because we epic fans don't know what happens is anymore

So stoked to dive further into this story

One of us! One of us!

What is all that "One of us" about. I've seen it everywhere, and it's confusing me. What am I missing? I want to be a part of you guys, too 😭

@@fleischsalat318 If you're here, then you're one of us -- welcome!

@PeterBarber thank you 🫰🏻☺️ But it seems like I'm still missing the source of that term thing "One of us". I can't explain it haha

⁠@@fleischsalat318I’m unsure of where it originates exactly but it’s supposed to be a phrase about converting someone to be apart a group that you yourself are in. This is not meant to be malicious or offensive but inclusive and friendly even if it might not come off as such. Hope this helps! 😁

Ooo very cool

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed :]

I'm ready!

@@PeterBarberI don’t think you’re readyyy Sorry I’ll go now

@@_Aceus_ lmao part of being an EPIC fan is quoting it every five sentences; Welcome to the club

@@_Aceus_ lol i quote it all the time- especially done for

Yee but he at least needs to know Jorge assigned each character an instrument to be able to look for them even if we don’t tell him which is what. Otherwise he wouldn’t have the context to know that’s going on. He’ll be able to spot the patterns sure but probs won’t put it together that’s what they represent without context

Love to hear that! I absolutely loved the Troy Saga and am looking forward to more :]

ooo hitting me with the Aragorn quote! Who could say no to that? Stoked to be a part of the Epic fam :]

Welcome to the Patreon fam :] so glad you enjoyed the video!

I don't think I could see Casper in the Odysseus role at this point. In my brain he is too connected to a different role.

Was just about to suggest our chaotic king Mortius for that tenor duet!

Funnily enough, pretty much the main reason that Peter started doing Epic reactions was because of Casper and I spamming his DMs 😆

awwww yeahhhh

I'm excited for if/when he analyzes The Underworld saga the most I think. There's so much going on in all 3 songs.

Odysseus has two. The way you worded this seems like he doesn't have one at all, but he has acoustic and electric guitar that play depending on his mental state.

@@feistsorcerer2251 yeah but sometimes he has none and sometimes he has 2 at the same time so didn't include him in the overarching rule

Speaking of those tidbits, the biggest one is that for humans, all the vocals and backing vocals must be diegetic, so for the most part that's the men Oddy is leading. Gods however, they can do whatever they like and pull sound from anywhere!
