My emotions were SUFFERING in The Thunder Saga | Suffering / Different Beast Reaction

[@JoshuaHillmanatorHillman]

The little detail that they open with Penelope's motif, but not her instrument...

[@ChaosQueen1575]

Yeah, there were also synths. Penelope’s instrument is a violin. There were little to no violins in her part so we knew it wasn’t her. Another thing is that synths are usually played when a supernatural force is around.

[@Eyk-o4m]

When I first heard it i was so confused. (The challenge is my fav song) I was like WHERE IS THE VIOLIN?!

[@alanplays2881]

Scylla is even telling him "We're lonely demons from hell, and you're a monster just like me for sacrificing your men" All of her lines sink into Odysseus and his second. Pushing his second to confess, and for Odysseus to make the call to randomly select 6 men to die so they could escape.

[@smugreptile6695]

@@Valfara770 They have had the misfortune of getting caught in the crossfire between harpies and mermaids. And now a days they get associated more with the older evil aspects mermaids used to have.

[@doloresgronenberg5882]

They weren't mixed up with mermaids in pop culture, sirens and mermaids are different creatures (as a Spanish I must say that both are called the same in my language, but they are still different creatures, and one only has to search for them to see the differences), fish sirens are actually beings of legend and folklore too, there are also different "vampires", other creatures in other ancient legends and folklore being some even older that have similar traits like drinking blood, which is the most recognizable one, even though they don't have a similar appearance and aren't really the creatures that we call "vampires", the same happens with sirens, many times there are similar creatures or at least creatures that share certain similar traits that aren't really the same, definitely not in appearance, this is what happens with sirens, the bird sirens aren't the "true" sirens, more so taking into account that they are mythological monsters, they are creatures that are a part of greek mythology specifically and fish sirens are just as true, beings that are part of other mythologies, legends and folklore, one far more wide and expanded around the world, they are both similar creatures in terms of abilities and as such called the same and taken as the same creatures but they are not the same in appearance and as such not really the same creatures, more so taking into account that they belong to different legends and cultures, but that does not mean that one is "true" and the other is "false" since both were born from different things and throughts, people got to be really scared of fish sirens too when they went to the sea, they are simply similar but at the same time different creatures of different legends, stories and folklore, but while bird sirens stayed in the background and are only in greek mythology fish sirens expanded around the world and are the ones considered the sirens always today in general, more so taking into account that there are other famous mythological creatures in our world known as harpies that are very similar to bird sirens in appearance

[@TheLeafcuter]

​@Valfara770 if you want to stretch it, you could interpret it as Oddysseus saying to cut off their tail feathers, rendering them unable to fly, therefore unable to get out of the water, which then ties into the next line "let them drown". Makes more sense that way too, cause how would mermaids drown?

[@jaytucker7873]

The fan theory is that Polities kept track of the calendar for the crew (so he would know when everyone's birthday was!). Since he died no one has been keeping track and Odysseus is just guessing at this point.

[@jessieh0928]

Politese carried the calendar confirmed

[@ssbruv]

[@elvinmarrero3284]

[@ultima1594]

Jorge intentionally hid these two song so nobody knew anything about them. He successfully built hype and delivered.

[@jurassicfreak2579]

About the 12 or 10 years thing, in the actual Odyssey it was 12 years at that point, but Epic the musical didn't really justify 2 extra years had passed since the Trojan War (although it's not implausible). So it was meant to be 10 years in There Are Other Ways, but since they made an oopsie Jorge basically said to make up whatever headcannon we want about those extra 2 years.

[@Megamanlanprime]

Honestly you could just say that between some of the saga’s there has been enough sailing time that passed to be at least 2 years. I don’t think it’s that hard to explain away.

[@andrewchilds8886]

[@MusicalsOnMyMind]

I love how all reactors "passam pano" (defend Odi) at the begginig... and then when he says to cut off their tails and let them drown... everyone's like... "uhm, ok, we were on the same page until one second ago" LOL

[@fegreninja7197]

If I’m remembering correctly, in Greek mythology Sirens are fated to die when a ship hears their song and passes by unharmed, so simply killing them, let alone cutting off their tails and letting them drown, feels a little gratuitous. Odysseus really went extra for this

Yeah the way the sirens were treated was cruel, but it was also pretty efficient all things considered. Odysseus has truly embraced that ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves.

[@alelasso8589]

Yes, on there are other ways Jorge made a mistake on the numbers and no one caught it. He accidentally said 12 instead of 10. He made a tiktok about it, but he just had to roll with it because well, the other song is already released so he can't backtrack now and say 10. Saying about 12 years or so is like a cover up of sorts

You are correct, it's supposed to be 10 years. Jorge made a joke about it in a youtube short a while back.

[@simpletora7313]

I don't understand why so many people are reacting to the story and not the actual music. The Odyssey is OLD like INSANELY old and that's the story/poem/books (whatever you want to call them) that the musical is taken from, it's not just some madeup story using greek mythology characters (though I guess that's technically what the actual story is). I see comments about people saying "wonder what X meant by this" in the older songs or "can't wait to know what he does next" like seriously has nobody read the insanely popular and amazing piece of literature that is The Odyssey

[@juanjogrimaldos7463]

This is a new adaptation and a new interpretation of an old story, the original Odissey is not a love story and it doesn't follow the mercy/ruthlesness motif.

The 12 long years thing was a nod to the way Jay got it wrong 😭 basically on accident instead of saying 10 long years he said 12 instead but in the odyssey it makes sense especially since in the actual poem he spent a fair amount of time at circes abd at sea which explains the extra years but in the musical it was just a mistake that he was talking about as a little nod and an inside joke, additionally it does cover his mistake bc it allows us to take odysseus' words more as an off the cusp statement over the truth creating the ambiguity:)

In the Actual odyssey it would have been 12 years by this point because all the islands and places they go to they stay a pretty long time.
