He Is A DIFFERENT BEAST Now EPIC: The Musical | Vocal Coach Reaction (& Analysis)

[@distinguishedallureproduct879]

Oh, she is going to love Scylla, both the vocal range AND the animatics, like its a masterpiece

[@ghosty6253]

It was confirmed by Jorge that in Epic when sirens sing they read the memories of the people that hear their song. But since they had beeswax in they couldn’t get into their minds fully. That’s why there’s many mistakes about what Penelope said. As well as her song containing a mallet, which is Polites instrument which due to the beeswax confuses people Odysseus cares for. Also in suffering when she sings where to go, she sings in the same motif when zues sings about “the infant”. ‘ He will burn your house and throne, He’ll find you wherever you go’.

[@JenniferGlatzhofer]

Oh interesting!

[@CFEntertains]

hear me out

[@eloy8449]

Same Honestly lol

[@neonplural]

Ayy dude

[@junovzla]

honestly same

[@Dark_Wolf_846]

That's not even a "hear me out" bro, that's an "I understand"

[@whatifieat]

(Casper:) "i got a lil uh- a lil siren here batman-! Guess what imma do to this thing batman!" (Batman:) "NO, NO, NO, NO CASPER, ITS A FISH, YOU CANT DO THAT!"

[@racheltalbot6885]

FINALLY SOMEONE POINTED OUT THE SIRENS CRYING AT THE END YESSSSSSSSSSS

[@jennasandau2643]

I love how in the chorus it's "we are a different beast" but when Odysseus tells the mem to kill the sirens it switches to "He is a different beast" almost like the men didn't know what they signed up for and kind of disassociated from it

[@MrSlothJunior]

That is one way to see it. I see it like them acknowledging that before he was more merciful than they wanted him to be, and that held them back. Now they are the ones winning and conquering, particularly because HE, their leader, had a change of heart. Not because they aren't fully on his side and backing him up. Collectively, they are a different beast now, because he, individually, is a different beast now. As they say "No more of us deceased now, he won't take more suffering from you.". Even in that last chorus, they acknowledge that they are all benefitting from Odysseus growing colder.

[@BeyondTrash-xe1vs]

​@@MrSlothJuniorI agree, the men seem very supportive, and they also got taught a lesson from Poseidon of how Ruthlessness is mercy upon themselves. In Monster, Odysseus vows to become the monster "to everyone but us," and I think this is indicative of the crew's support... At least for now.

[@michaelbarnes5223]

Someone pointed out in the original video, Odysseus' eyes during "I read your lips and phrases, scanning for information" are the same as how a predatory animal's eyes look. He's not just cunning and opportunistic; he's stalking them like an animal, waiting to strike.

[@christophersanchez2658]

GIGI dropped a Scylla animatic recently and it's *chef's kiss*

[@samm-joseeibok]

I honestly prefer the other one tbh but it's just me I guess

[@ScanovatheCarnotaurus]

I agree. The whole reason I got into this was because their Scylla is just one of the best monster designs I’ve ever seen full stop.

[@andronixbegayaf]

I personally like the official Scylla most but the gigi one is also amazing. It's sad they didn't release the full official Scylla one it looked so close to being finished in the livestream!

[@ashpage3947]

She is not prepared for mutiny or thunder bringer 😭 scylla is a good song the endings my fav

[@trueplayz8114]

I love the “we are the ones who feast now” because when he cuts off their aquatic half they didn’t just do it to be cruel.

[@bradleybarnett1469]

Yes. Odysseus is a Monster now. He went too far to the other side. The lesson of Epic is to know when to give mercy and when to be ruthless

[@oricipriani1609]

I think you mean the lesson of the Odyssey. Though I'll admit Epic does a great job at spreading it.

[@bradleybarnett1469]

@oricipriani1609 the odyssey really doesn't have that message. The message of the Odyssey is "Cleverness is king" and "Don't let pride be your downfall". There really are no moral questions in the original odyssey

[@oricipriani1609]

@@bradleybarnett1469 I would argue morality is a subcategory of what you are describing here. It was viewed in a more practical and objective way in the Odyssey, but in my opinion it doesn't change the fact that moral questions are faced despite their direct confrontation being more subdued.

[@siefnour1017]

Oooh i cannot wait to see your reaction to how *different* this one is from Suffering (Pun Intended)

[@taseenshaikh9631]

5:58 as Mortius would say, "FORESHADOWING"

[@WittySomething]

I always assumed when the lyrics changed to "he is a different beast" and so on that it indicated they were emphasizing how much Ody has changed, not that they were trying to single him out as being more monstrous. After all, there's really no indication in the lyrics that they feel remorse or regret for killing the very creatures that would have eaten them without a second thought, nor was there anything in the official stream for the Thunder Saga that indicated them feeling bad or seeing Ody as needlessly ruthless. Also, the 'ooh-oh-oh' chant at the end is the same as Remember Them, after Ody commands his men to blind Poly.

[@CrowBrained09]

My favourite thing about this song is that the “oh-woah-oh”s from the crew are the same as in Remember Them, but the the choruses are allocated in a way that mirrors Survive in that it’s three choruses sung by (or about) 1) Odysseus 2) the crew 3) the monster (except Odysseus is the monster this time)

[@Addyla-u2s]

So excited for scylla and thunderbringer !!

[@lowstamina_arts]

If you didn’t notice it starts with “We won’t take more suffering from you” then after Odysseus shows his monster side the crew goes “He won’t take more suffering for you” I like to see this as the crew is somewhat scared of Odysseus

[@kennethmorgan8795]

While great I also love that while singing about how far *He* will go now they keep the line "No more of *us* deceased now." The crew has absolute faith in the beast standing in front of them...

[@lowstamina_arts]

@@kennethmorgan8795 true! I just like how Jorge switched up the lines

[@dolphin64575]

One thing I LOVE about Gigi's Suffering animatic is that she animates the siren's mouth at "he will chase you high and low", showing how much attention Odysseus was paying to that.

[@markgreen5990]

The clever use of lyrics here is fantastic. In Suffering it is "I will take the suffering from you" while here, when the tables turn, it's "We won't take more suffering from you."

[@LeeSCM]

I have literally binged this entire series on your channel while at work like a podcast! You have by far my favorite reactions to epic! The amount of elements you’re able to balance on a first listen as well as discussing the vocal intricacies has been great and helped me love the musical even more! Thanks, can’t wait for more of these!

[@JenniferGlatzhofer]

Oh wow! Thank you so much for your kind comment ☺️

[@phalanx_art]

Suffering and Different Beast is my favorite combo to listen to from the Epic musical, so I’m looking forward to what you think 😊

[@dunningkrugerfxs5848]

"Truth is...the game was rigged from the start." -Ody, probably

[@RenCarl1sle]

What i love with Suffering and Different Beast is the fact Ody sang so perfectly with beeswax in his ears.

[@Gladissims]

"He has to do it though." I mean... There are probably quicker and less painful ways he could have killed them. XD

[@JenniferGlatzhofer]

Yes. This is VERY true 🙈

[@songhuy8908]

Yeah but he needs the tail or the crew's gonna starve before they even REACH Scylla

[@IsyThatWay]

​@@songhuy8908I don't know if that's confirmed, but anyways, he still could kill them faster and then cut the tails... There no excuses for that, just the vengeance feeling, all the monster crap kkkkkkkk

[@dustybooks_]

one of my favorite details of this song is the double meaning of the line "he is the man-made monster" because the first one, he is the _man-made_ monster; a monster created by man. the other one, he is the man _made_ monster; a man who became a monster. it's just such a fun little detail that i love

[@anbuunit9611]

You were saying these sirens were supposed to be the villains in this song. No Odysseus is the villain here these sirens are creatures eating doing what they were made to do Odysseus took them from their home and maimed them and drowned them

[@memes4life990]

In this sense, there is no good guys here. It's two groups trying to survive and complete their goals. The only difference is we're observing from the victor's perspective.

[@TearsOfLa]

Properly executed discordance is like the musical equivalent of a Picasso. Its not supposed to be pleasant and harmonic, yet it still is beautiful

[@sherylannd6813]

This song has most of my favorite deliveries from the ENTIRE album so far.

[@rissalayland654]

I know you have already listened to it, but i am soooo excited to see what you have to say about scylla. My favorite song from the saga

[@catsuno228]

Next songs going to blow your mind, after all. *We are the same you and I :>*

[@8randomprettysecret8]

Hoping all is well these days. The insights as a teacher understanding the inner workings are thoughtful. 🎶

[@MinecraftLovesSteve]

I like to imagine Ody personally slays the siren that dared to impersonate Penelope like it was a stain on his character to do so

[@NothingKingKN]

The crew was all gung-ho about giving back to the sirens and show them who is boss until Osysseus commits a war crime. Then nobody wants to be associated. Smh

[@lilannleo]

Scylla will be here soon! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@owenbridgers]

Thats the one im waiting for the most, Scylla and Thunder Bringer

[@neonplural]

"Something approaches..."

[@johnpittsii7524]

Hi Jennifer hope you are having an great and awesome day ❤

We're gonna have icecold sushi for breakfast

[@Jennifer_J_C]

Thanks Jen 😊

[@DanielKimmothy]

I think that legato string backgrounds are the strings from the background of just a man.

[@makaramuss]

I can't wait for god games... I know original livestream has a list of song but I would love to see you react to anniflama's animatic

[@Del_1710]

Scylla is gonna go so hard

[@Ekami-chan]

This song is so badass! Yes yes, Odysseus being monster but they're badasses winning over sirens trying to eat them...But also this animation does an amazing job with making both Odysseus, his men and sirens creepy! :D

[@mmirzoan]

can't wait for Scyllaaaa

[@stolaque16]

I know this probably has nothing to do with the vid which wonderful vid btw! But something you can do to not ruin the song when you pause is when their taking a deep breath to sing the next line or when their taking a break and it’s just instrumental. Hope it helps! :)

[@Rodknee_Taco]

16:07 "any other Gods listening in, this is what I've done" -believe me there is a God listening in...

[@isabellasantana8101]

Scylla is next ❤

[@lay_1306]

so they can fish sirens but not fish to eat 🤔

[@lariyahankel543]

Literally lol

[@CheshireRising]

In the crew’s defence, the sirens *did* basically swim right into their nets, fish wouldn’t do that

[@AHorrorFanatic]

Posidon was preventing fish from coming to them as he has full athority over them.

[@lay_1306]

@AHorrorFanatic but why tho? that was before the whole cyclops thing

[@KaulitzWolf]

​@@lay_1306 It's not mentioned in Epic, but in the Odyssey Poseidon is already annoyed that Ody used the image of the horse in Troy without paying respects to him before returning home. The fact that he didn't send the storm at that point was him being "so gracious"

[@user-rc1md5dg8u]

You’re going to have a lot of fun with Scylla lmfao. I personally recommend watching Scylla from this artist if you want a bit more heartache compared to the others but it’s just my opinion!

[@koalaofthetrees64]

Hi Jennifer ✨✨✨🐨🐨🐨 These koala emojis will be a sign of me in your comment section, anywho we're so close to Scylla😱🤭😈♥️🐲

4:08 by this logic... are you Odysseus' real wife?

[@ControversialOpinionGuy]

.... mayhaps?

[@nataliazunigagoicovic4336]

The next next saga you must react to this video... it's the first one... Legendary... it's soooo goood. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bV6ziYCKr8d4r9Usi=730JHqqVYxqevkS_

[@boredandanxious4951]

Apparently Odysseus's name means something along the lines of "to hate" or "to cause grief." So I like to interpret the crew singing his name at the end to be an affirmation of its meaning.

[@pianissimo7121]

This is the only song i disliked till now
