A Final Goodbye | FIRST TIME HEARING “The Underworld” from Epic: The Musical (Reaction/Analysis)

[@CFEntertains]

I left Denmark in 2021 to pursue my dream of full time content creation - My family (including my mom) is still back home waiting for me to return one day. “I took too long, I ventured too far” was just too much for me to hear resulting in me getting super emotional. However, the support you guys are showing me on KZbin and on Patreon gives me confidence that it’s all worth it. From the bottom of my heart: Thank you. ♥️

[@malinnilsen5188]

I lost my grandmother in June of last year. I always thought she would live forever, so being on the opposite side of the country to the rest of my family wasn't that big of a deal so long as I could call and visit every now and again. I kept putting off calling because life and kids were keeping me busy, and once my daughter started school I couldn't just visit whenever I felt like it anymore, but when my dad called to tell me that she was fading and doctors gave her less than a month I immediately booked a flight to go see her exactly one week later. She died that very same night, and I have been kicking myself silly every day since then for thinking it could wait a week instead of going immediately. The "I took too long, and ventured too far" line really felt like a bullet to the gut the first time I heard it.

[@deejaydee1578]

Those lines made me bawl. I've been struggling with deep mental health issues and suicidality, and the idea of "venturing too far", of my mother waiting for a son that will never come home, has helped me immensely. I love this song

[@BigStem]

[@olessiatchijova8605]

I moved from my home country to the US, in 2009. Always intended to return but haven’t since. My grandma is still back there, and we talk every day, but yeah… Odysseus mom’s lines reduce me to a balling mess every time. Jorge… knows how to gut punch

[@shiro4833]

Allow me to make it even worse: In the Odysee, Odyssius tries to embrace his mother three times while he was in the underworld, but he couldn't grasp her, since she was dead and he was living.

Since everyone is so sad about Polites, I think meeting his soul is a bittersweet but uplifting experience. His afterlife is one of an eternal optimistic and happy song. Compared to the state of trauma, hatred fear or eternal loning of other souls, this is what comes close to paradise for me. So I'm not sad, I'm glad for him.

I also noticed how in "The Horse and the Infant", after Odysseus shouts "Attack!" there's the badass music with sounds of fighting, only to have it interrupted by the sound of a man (Odysseus) shouting in pain. This seems to happen again in "Survive", when they're kicking Polyphemus's ass, and the music sounds like he's a goner, only to be interrupted by the thud of his club and Polites's "Captain..."

I saw 2 headcannons that hit me like a truck, 1, someone had said the reason why we don't hear the infant crying (ik infants don't have thoughts but shhhh) is because Polities is cradling the child and singing to him which is why Polities is singing so softly in the song, 2, we don't hear the infant cry do to being in the arms of his father, he is calm and happy

I know that in _The Odyssey,_ Odysseus does go back to Aeaea (Circe's island) and give Elpenor a proper burial, but I love the idea of Circe, having just helped them get to the Underworld, stumbling on a young man's corpse (Elpenor was the youngest of Odysseus's crew, which makes sense with his idiotic death) and being like "THIS IS WHY I HATE WHEN PEOPLE VISIT MY ISLAND!" and gives him a proper burial. I also love the idea of a seashell washing up on the shore with a note that says "42 left under your command.", or that conch shell with a pullstring from Spongebob that plays Poseidon's voice saying that. 😂

Fun facts about the fun fact Mortius gave: - Elpenor does show up in Epic voiced by Luke (Zeus's voice), and is the soldier that spots Aeolus's island + asks Odysseus what's in the bag they gave him. - Elpenor being the "forgotten guy" is just from Epic, it isn't really a thing in the Odyssey. What's more, I'd say Elpenor is a bit more prominent than Eurylochus and much more than Polites in the original story. And they take his ridiculous death very seriously, promising him a proper burial when they meet him in the Underworld.

[@rahmahchowdhury4856]

Come to think of it, he’s probably the only one who got a proper burial. The others were all eaten by monsters or killed by gods leaving their bodies in the sea.

some Greek myth underworld trivia; if someone didn't receive the proper funerary rights, with a coin for Charon, they would not receive passage into the underworld. and they would have to wait 100 years before gaining passage. so yeah, you were right, Polites and the victims of the Cyclops, the guys who died to Poseidon in Ruthlessness, and Elpinor I suppose, won't be passing on for quite some time, stuck in the water; waiting

[@TheBre1491]

In the Odyssey, Elpinor does get a proper burial. After Odysseus visits the underworld. Even though he couldn’t see Odysseus, he knew he’d be there and asked for a proper burial. Odysseus and his remaining crew went back and gave Elpinor his wish. I have no idea why his death was even in the Odyssey. What was the message? Don’t get drunk and go on roofs? 😂

Though it does also lead to a moment where he tries to hug her but can't and she has to explain to him that dead people don't have physical forms and thus can't touch the living.

God Anticlea's part gets me every time. It just. Hits a specific, personal nerve.

18:25 OK DAMN, MORTIUS CRYING MADE ME CRY!

[@officialmortius]

I was GOING THROUGH IT

[@ayymenalsabahi5440]

@@officialmortius as did I. I couldn't listen to the song again in hours (i was crying) and got genuine anxiety because of the mother part. I litterally sat in bed and cried for like 3 hours trying to listen to that song but thought of my mother instead. It HURT!

[@ayymenalsabahi5440]

Also great that i first heard the song on a crammed BUS!

[@suadmaluc8971]

omg ody's face just lighting up instantly as he sees Polities is amazing

[@ninjapuppy1257]

The fact that you don’t even need the animatic to understand that ody is so shocked and overjoyed to hear his mom’s voice that he forgets where he is and why he can hear her. Then the monomer of “I took too long” where it hits him, I cry every time I hear it cause of how heart breaking it is.

[@immortaldeku]

i am right there with you two…..watching this reaction has effectively brought me to tears once again over the underworld AFTER ALREADY HAVING BAWLED MY EYES OUT OVER IT MULTIPLE TIMES.

[@Pyrisous]

19min in,that's two men who love their Mom. And the tears in my eyes makes three

[@malenejensen02]

01:18 Im so happy with your decision! That's perfect! Thank you

[@disableddragonborn]

The issue of "The Underworld" vs. "Underworld Saga" is averted because the saga omits "The".

so when DOES a man become a monster?

Hahahaha 😂😂😂

[@seeschwalbe]

Okay but I legitimately thought about whether the song "Just a Man"'s chorus is just a riddle to that question with the "When does a comet become a meteor? When does a candle become a blaze? When does a ripple become a tidal wave? When does the reason become the blame? When does a man become a monster?" I haven't found a perfect answer though, the best I could come up with is "When they fall", but I’m not sure that necessarily fits with the ripple-tidal wave/ reason-blame part. So I am curios if that will get a clear answer or not

​@@seeschwalbe OooooOOOOoooo! I like it

[@serenac.7192]

Lord I CANNOT listen to this song without crying at Odysseus' mom's part 😭😭😭

[@crystallight808]

16:20 just so you're fully aware Casper everyone who dies good or evil ends at the underworld because the underworld is actually just the afterlife there is the good part the meh part and the evil part! So he is supposed to be there and he's probably living in the good part usually if you want to think of it that way another reason for why he's not trapped in the River Styx usually when people are trapped in the River Styx or can't get to the actual afterlife it's because they couldn't pay their way to get into the Afterlife he seems to be fine! But if he wasn't given the proper payment to get past all he has to do is wait 100 years which it seems like he's perfectly fine with!

[@dahlias4amor583]

I watched the animatic and listened to the song already. But freaking Mortius over here with his analysis and facts just broke my heart. I legitimately started sobbing 😭

[@sykloni1209]

When listening to the Underworld saga for the first time I was expecting the last two songs to be my favourites. I was not expecting this to be the song that would stay with me the most 🥲 But this song is just so good! The line "I took too long" absolutely breaks me... Amazing reaction as always!

[@Maniac4Lif4]

Imma bit late but for editors note, yes it is true! Jorge’s mom did sing this part, he even posted his mom singing that part on his channel when it was Mother’s Day 😊

[@diddykitty746]

The Underworld is my FAVORITE song in this musical, just emotional gutpunches one after the other, and Odysseus learning that his mother passed while he was away. I think the title of the song is okay since it introduces the setting of the whole saga, BUT if I were to choose a new one, "The Past is Always Close Behind" is a really good and meaningful lyric, since the Underworld is a place where you will see people who existed in *the past*. It seems to target you with your lived ones which is just. So amazing for our lead Odysseus

[@yay29823]

Or maybe just "Close Behind", for short. Now, consider "All I Hear Are Screams"

[@starrynites]

i’m hearing the underworld saga for the first time with casper, and have not read the odyssey. i lost my mom about a month ago, and hearing odysseus’ mom in the underworld packed a PUNCH, lemme tell you that. jorge is too good at what he does. anyways back to lurking, it’s such a joy to get to watch these with yall
