#again tho

Like this is just a crack theory, I don’t have anything to prove this, there could be other stuff going on behind the scenes, but I wonder if wnk and magixedra have some sort of collab planned out that would only work while the movie’s being played in theaters. And wnk keeps needing to get pushed back because magixedra still has a bit more stuff to do before they’re ready for that collab.

oh exploring non typical ages and topics my beloved....

Let the meme guardians smooch whoever they want aside from themselves.

okjaayy so like. me personallt. for someone who's really only seen fandom stuff. from whay ive seen. either besties(worsties) or siblings but pavlova is that annoying, distant younger brother type and sugarfly finds him endearing(ig?).

if i WERE to see them as romantic, pavlova'd be tsundere-esc(as I'd except in any ship with him imo lmao) and sugarfly'd be super doting or wtv.

So I’ve come to burden you with my ranting lol

On one hand I feel like the whole becoming the monster thing works really well for the story Jay is trying to tell. It shows how far Ody has been pushed so far by everything that has happened to him, everything he’s had to do. And he keeps getting these impossible situations forced upon him. So he has to become someone he never wanted to be (and can never truly be).

On the other it’s kinda weird for the musical to be darker than the source material?? XD And Odyssey!Ody had so much care for his crew (not that EPIC!Ody didn’t of course) and so much heart. He had to do unimaginable things, deal with his men’s stupidity, and he STILL didn’t give up on his men. He was willing to fight freaking SCYLLA for them. To sleep with Circe for them!

So I guess I’ve fallen in love to Odyssey!Ody so much I’m having trouble with EPIC!Ody’s differences 😅

Also on a completely different subject I’m so sorry you’re feeling miserable and I hope you feel better very soon 🫂🫂🫂🫂

That’s how I feel! I understand the direction Jay is going for, and so putting Ody in hard situations where he has to be a monster makes sense. However, I don’t think I super like the ending of the thunder saga. The music was incredible no doubt, the acting and singing was incredible. But I feel like Ody in epic is a little too dark for my taste? It makes sense that 6 men would die with Scylla cuz that’s what happened in the Odyssey. however, while Odysseus didn’t tell his crew about Scylla in the Odyssey, he didn’t say anything in order to keep them from retreating, and he put his armor and sword on to at least TRY to save his men (only to his horror that there was nothing that could’ve been done so he had to tell everyone to row for their lives.)

However in Epic, it seems Ody had specific men light up torches to be sacrificed and I don’t think I like that? It makes Ody almost seem villainous to me? Or an anti-hero? Which doesn’t fit for me. Like at least have him care you know? And I don’t blame him for choosing his wife over his crew who betrayed him, but that’s a strange thing to add. I like how in the odyssey, Odysseus just happened to be the last survivor. Instead of having to choose between himself and his crew, he was trying to get back to Ithaca as soon as possible despite the crew eating the cattle. And so despite everything, he still tried to put his crew before him.

Idk, it’s an adaptation but how loosely can you adapt it till it becomes a bad adaptation, you know? I certainly don’t hate it! I don’t hate it at all! But I’ve grown to love Odysseus as a character and seeing him act in such a way in the musical is strange for me.
