I Didn't See This Coming in The Ocean Saga! EPIC: The Musical
Welcome everyone to todays reaction video where I am reacting to The Ocean Saga from Epic The Musical!
I knew you were all talking about Poseidon during my last video and I see why now. For a video called "Ruthlessness" he certainly did not hold back on there he showed no mercy to Odysseus and his men for what they did to his son that cyclops for the cyclops saga.

    In the original telling of the Odyssey, it was Athena who destroyed the ships and sent the storm. The Greeks had desecrated her temple when they finally got into Troy. She kept Odysseus and his crew alive because he's her champion but he hadn't sacked her temple. Poseidon only wanted to kill him and him alone. In this, there's the idea he's singing about, which is probably the reason, but (in my headcannon) Poseidon is also petty. The Greeks won against the Trojans, the people Poseidon was backing in the fight, so this was him basically taking that out on them.

    Poseidon is the most protective of his children but the gods who have monster children are use to their kids being slain by a hero but Odysseus sparing Polyphemus after blinding him (which is Greek it’s worse to blind someone they kill them especially with the time period they were in where medical help wasn’t as advanced) so to Poseidon he felt like Odysseus was saying that Polyphemus wasn’t even worth the kill which made Poseidon feel like he was insulting him as well Plus Odysseus can kill a helpless human baby but not a cyclops who was trying to kill them?

  • @nonbinary_pirate

    Long rant incoming: Odysseus not apologizing is a common theme in the cyclops and ocean saga. Instead of just apologizing to the Polyphemus and being heartfelt, he just gave excuses for his actions. “We didn’t mean to steal” ok but you did it anyway. Just because you didn’t MEAN to doesn’t mean you didn’t do it. Instead of seeing the emotions behind why the cyclops may be hurting, he just immediately goes to damage control. It’s important to note that the cyclops is basically a runt. The other cyclops in the cave don’t care about him, that’s why when he said Nobody hurt him they didn’t even try to check up on him. They just told him to shut up even tho he was in clear pain. His sheep is the only creatures that he had, they were friends to him not just animals. And the person who gifted him those sheep? His father, Poseidon. So from Poseidon’s point of view? His son’s house was invaded, his sheep (which he knows meant a lot to Polyphemus and a personal gift) killed by strangers, no apology instead a consolation gift, and then on top of that he was blinded. And the person who blinded (idiotically) told him his name and address. And once again, he doesn’t do an actual apology. Now granted, I don’t believe it would have changed anything. Like you pointed out, his whole song was about being ruthless. The likelihood of him showing mercy was not high. I think Poseidon wanted to test to see if he learnt the lesson Poseidon was trying to teach him. But even during said test he didn’t even fail right 🤷 Anyway, that’s my long rant over ❤

    Poseidon doesn’t actually give a damn about the cyclops as a person “I mean you totally could have avoided all this had you just killed my son. But no. You are far too nice” He cared about the fact that Odysseus had essentially insulted him by basically mocking the cyclops by telling him his name expecting no retaliation. It’s more of a “you damaged my stuff” than a “you killed my beloved child”

    @serenac.7192 8 днів тому

    A lot of people believe the reason Poseidon still attacked Odysseus' crew is because he didn't give a proper apology. But I hold the firm belief that it is because Poseidon just sang an ENTIRE song about how you don't get anything from being kind and sparing your enemies. Then he goes and says, "If you apologize and are kind, I'll let you and your men go." But he means it as a test to see if Odysseus understood the whole message of his song. So when Odysseus accepts this option, believing Poseidon may be kind and admitting that they didn't want to hurt Polyphemus, he's disregarding everything Poseidon just said. And that is the meaning behind the line, "The line between naivety and hopefulness is almost invisible." Because Odysseus' HOPEFULNESS that Poseidon will let him go if he apologizes is NAIVE and stupid, because being RUTHLESS is the only way to benefit yourself in the long run, not kindness. And also, this shows Odysseus to have just blatantly ignored a god's advice, which also pissed off Poseidon.

    • @mielliot13
      @mielliot13 5 днів тому

      I mean, I agree that he wouldn't have followed through on that, but I also think Poseidon is pretty familiar with his personality and knew he wouldn't directly apologize. So that 'request' is sortof a cruel trap, he wouldn't have let them off, but now Odysseus thinks it's his fault for trying to be clever, To quote the earlier song "You rely on wit, and people die on it"

  • @taurbeer
    @taurbeer 8 днів тому

    Quick things: 1. Part of the issue with "Two songs per video" was that it took long between reactions. Most people do want to see you get through it rather quickly, because they want to see your reactions to the whole thing. Doing a full saga at a time does work though. 2. "Shoot for the sky" is almost definitely a reference done to Hamilton, which was caught by the animator, who then included the pose. 3. If you plan to relisten to the songs between videos, I would suggest watching (though not necessarily recording a reaction) to alternative animatics. I understand it's hard to know which animatics are the right ones on a first watch, but on a rewatch you can get a lot out of watching the alternative animatics, seeing as different animatic makers focus on different things. 4. The Sixth Saga has a chance to release before you would get to it, dependant on your upload schedule (July 4th). When you get to your reactions of the Fifth Saga, I would recommend you ask your audience what they want to see from your reactions to the saga, because it will not have animatics out right away.

  • @WittySomething
    @WittySomething 8 днів тому

    I'd really suggest checking out Crashite's version of Luck Runs Out. The version of the song in this animatic isn't the actual released song, but more like an early version of it. I also suggest looking into AnniFlamma's animatic for Ruthlessness. It's my favorite for that song. Also for the Winions (the little clown guys with Aeolus) they say "never really know who you can trust" the first time, then "sometimes killing is a must" the second. And for the bit about Polites, they mean Odysseus has been badly affected by his death. Also another thing to add, even if Odysseus *had* actually apologized for what happened to Polyphemus, Posiedon's line of "the line between naivety and hopefulness is all but invisible" means he wasn't going to spare Odysseus and his men either way. It would have gone against his whole message about not showing mercy. Odysseus was being naive in thinking Posiedon would let them go after that. And I don't think you noticed Posiedon throwing what Odysseus said to Polyphemus back in his face: "I am your darkest moment", and the "Remember me" was also what Odysseus told Polyphemus.
