boring

au where time just collapses in on itself in the underworld and Percy Jackson, Orpheus, and Odysseus end up helping each other through Hades

Zeus in Epic telling Athena to convince the other gods to release Odysseus then getting mad at her bc she succeeded is very father of him

man I love that end part of ruthlessness because the way the lyrics are formed it makes it sound like "ruthlessness is mercy upon our captain" or "ruthlessness is captain, mercy upon ourselves" type shit

listen it's not that I think epic the musical is a perfect adaption of the odyssey but it was an impressive passion project that knew what it wanted to be and knew what people gravitated to in the original work and it put significant effort into conveying this through its unique medium and tone to the point that hundreds of other people felt compelled to put effort into their own artistic interpretations of that version of the story. and that's really cool! and yes I would be more critical if it was a 100 million dollar project made by a professional because what the fuck do you mean you're a world-famous director and you cut the my name is nobody scene are you goddamn serious

ohhh my god I just fact-checked, Nolan actually DID cut the "Nobody" scene from his Odyssey movie. Mfer that is like cutting the Father reveal from Star Wars. Let me speak in a language you understand this is like not dressing Batman up in his suit. "It was not possible to work it in" the TikTok musical with a budget of $4 and a scratched Hamilton CD managed to work it in in SONG form, step up your FUCKING GAME
