I always took the line "there's a world where I help you get home, but that's not a world I know" to mean that Jorge is letting us know he acknowledges that in the original story, the prophet does tell him how to get home. But that's another world/universe, it is not this one.

Jorge said that the voices of the souls speak the last thing on their mind before they died. The crew died thinking about how their captain betrayed them. Polities died still thinking about what's good in the world. His mother died thinking about his return. The prophet is voiced by Mason Olshavsky but yes they sound very similar. Also another fun fact, Odysseus's mother is voiced by Jorge's real mother 💔

That first "Waiting..." and your face said "oh, no; I know who this is". I love all the musical callbacks in The Underworld (song) - every one of them just hits so perfectly. I love that you know the poem and can give us explanations of things - it's absolutely enhancing my enjoyment of the musical. And I absolutely adore that you are doing a musical listen though first - it give such a pure reaction that the animatics can only make better. :) (And as somebody else pointed out - that final chord and then 'house lights on for intermission' would be such a power move.)

Fun facts time- The choir behind the prophet were actually singing hints of what would happen in Act 2 Elpenor (broken neck guy) had a larger part to play in the rough draft of the musical. He had his own song, and other parts in different songs. Now there’s the Easter Egg of miscounting the men when it came to how many had died. Forgotten, just like in the poem.
@SadfaceCM25 күн бұрын
11:46 One thing I love about the prophetic lines is that it can be seen from multiple points in the timeline (Iliad, Pre-Underworld Odysey and future events as well!) I had fun trying to figure out all the potential meanings behind the lines from the different timepoints! 15:15 The choir in the background are also apart of the prophecy! Most of the lines have been confirmed/agreed upon but not all. They are in order: Siren song, Scylla Throat, Mutiny, Lightning Bolt, Whirlpool Poseidon (This one is contested, another version could be ‘Run from Poseidon’), Kill All The Suiters For Love, and it finishes with chants of ‘Odysseus’ in the danger motif (That’s a thing too btw, not sure if it’s been mentioned)!

So the spirits, because they have to be spirits, because he is not a God, he can not conjure up vocals like the gods can since he is still a human. That means by the law of this musical or what people say is the law and dynamic is that the choir still has to be humans or spirits around him singing the choir part to have a backup choir or voice singing if that makes since. The spirits around him are singing as the backup choir for the prophet. The spirits are chanting, "Sirens Song" "Scylla throat" "Mutiny" "Lightning Bolt" "Whirlpool, Poseidon" "Kill all the Suitors for Love" "Ody" "sseus" "Ody" "sseus" The first four chants have been confirmed by Jorge himself, the last 6 is my guess, due to the fact that in one of the animatics it has subtitles that came from the actual lyrics off of the official album on Spotify and that's what they say it is. I'm guessing that's what it is because it's supposed to be the official lyrics on there so that's what I think the last six chants are.
