[@the_fallen_redditor6693]

​@@quicksilveryt4000yes but Gigi is on a completely different level when it comes to notoriety. There's a reason why the two biggest songs in the musical are almost always reacted to through their animatics (just a man/Monster) With other big names like Wolfy, Duvetbox and Neal, their bigger songs can be switched out for other animatics based on preferences, maybe more faithful or maybe the design works better.

Fun Fact: Odyseuss was actually the one to come up with the Horse plan. The idea was that the greeks would abandon camp so all that was left was the Horse. The Trojans, thinking that it was a gift for Athena, took the gift into troy so that they could gain Athena's favor.

So fun fact about Epic The Musical Danny! You said how you liked how they cued in Zeus with a certain music. If you listen to when each character sings, every character has their own like instrument and tone that plays when they sing! Love the video!!!

[@TahinavaiTheKitten]

Danny motta channelling his inner Perimedes during ‘The Horse and the Infant’.

[@Vipertheskylord]

He should react to the cut songs after all of this

Honestly I can't wait for Danny to reach the last saga. He has to experience Hold Them Down (horrifying but a banger of a song)

[@ReelPodcasts]

Mr. Jalipenio wrote the greatest Disney villain song that's not a Disney villain song.

[@wolfitrix]

Yep if he ever watched the premiere then he'll be horrified with the animatic after the line "stop from taking her love and more..."

[@thedarkbard]

14:29 So is no one gonna talk about the fact that he KNEW it was a baby?? Because I was SHOCKED when I first listened to the musical, and neither of us has read the Odessy before watching this

[@cyberlexa]

I'm gonna guess he probably assumed so because of the title, but true, I think he's the first reactor I've seen to just say it so casually before it was even revealed in song

[@Child_Of_Apollo14]

[@alicedodobirb2808]

I was able to guess by "opponent that wont run" bcs guess what cant run? And someone he cpuldnt face maybe? A bebe. Poor baby fr 😢

[@robertveng5871]

He was so quick with it, all he needed was "a son" and "a foe who won't run" and it was so obvious to him he just brushed past it into a bit 😂

If you’re referring to Epic, and not the outro song, the entire musical has been released already and as well has animatics for every song. Wether it be by the artist Jorge sent regencies to for animatics or fan made

I know I'm a bit late to the party but I absolutely love that you're getting into the EPIC musical I've been following it for years now and it's such a great thing that more and more people are are listening to it and I hope you enjoy every second of every song through all the feels that you'll experience listening to it and reacting to dozens of animacs

[@CuteRashomon]

"this is for the goths and gays who paved the way for everything i have today." STOP why did that make me crazy emotional?? the intro song had no business going as hard as it did 🔥 lyrics, costumes, and choreography were amazing

I KNOW, RIGHT?? That was fucking amazing, I loved every second

20:04 Not Danny’s smile growing as Odysseus walks over to the ledge with the baby😭😭

[@pileofsaltOG]

tbf danny smiles when something is hype like acurate predictions, vocals, jokes, gay shit, ect. less cuz he actually likes people dropping babies off kingdom walls

[@yeshewanitschek3081]

I love that Danny sad he loves charackters being clued in by specific motives, because Epic is ALL THAT! Every charackter! Also, Danny, my boy, your INTRO??? ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL ME?!?! THAT WAS SO FUCKING HYPE!!!

[@yeshewanitschek3081]

Also, I´m shure Mortius propably already put you up on this, but on the chance that he didn´t, please check out all the animatics by wolfy the wich and Neil Illustrator! They are my absolute favorites!

Gigi, Ximena Natzel, Duvetbox, Neal Illustrator, Mircsy, Anniflamma, Noir.Hyacinth, Crashite, Gwendy, and WolfyTheWitch are the LEGENDS of these animatics 😍🩷

[@m_supercat8834]

The hilarious part about Danny calling the Greek army “Romans” is the fact that the founder of Rome Romulus is actually a descendant of the Trojan hero Enea. Meaning the romans are actually Trojan

[@jakubgodyn7413]

Exacly. Even without knowing history, if the story has Zeus in it, it's clearly Greek.
