Cope with that | Epic: The Musical (cut song) Animatic

The fact that ody looked sympathetic until athena came and said something and even elpenor was shocked at the switch up

[@whinzeyy]

@@charlieisme legit! ody is obviously gonna listen to the god on his shoulder but it doesnt mean he doesnt have empathy and doesnt feel bad hes a human! but hes also a captain and sometimes thats gotta go first

[@Dragonskull1057]

@@whinzeyy Adding to this they aren't even entirely wrong for saying no either. If suddenly the Captain starts allowing everybody to just stop because things are hard then that sets a precedent with the crew that whenever it gets rough they should just quit and give up because it's easier. Ultimately we know what the outcome of the crew was but they'd all have likely ended up dead even sooner had they developed this mindset.

The one always and eternally correct choice in Epic character design is to make Odysseus visibly shorter than everyone else. Nice work.

[@EthanHomer]

Random fact, but for anyone wondering what the *original* name of this cut song is... It's actually called "Monster". If you looked at Jorge's old shorts/tiktoks you could see the original song list/track list. Since this song most likely should've taken place after open arms or before, we could look at where the Troy Saga is and you will see a song called "Monster." I'm guessing it got remade to fit the tone of the underworld saga.

@@whinzeyy yes, you portrayed this wonderfully!

[@allymaryantonette6003]

Yes, athena and oddyseus are right. This line of thinking is super dangerous, if the other men are convinced then THEY may want to stay. If not now, later. If I rememver right Aeneas had to actively combat against this in the Aeneid.

[@koalafication1018]

Yeah I feel like Ody was in the right, here (or, Athena was, in this case). For example, if you let a child eat only candy, then they may be happy, but they will be extremely unhealthy
