So I’m re-watching Gigi’s animated snippets of Hermes in God Games, and hearing so many of his laughs consecutively made me realize that his laugh in Dangerous sounds…off. I had to pull up Dangerous and Wouldn’t You Like just to do a double take.
At first I thought it sounds different because his laugh doesn’t escalate in pitch, but when he laughs in Dangerous, it’s not even that. It doesn’t sound like a real laugh. Jorge is super particular about direction and the choices he and the actors make in the final song cuts, so I’m curious if Hermes’ laugh in Dangerous was also a specific take.
My next question then is *why*? Why does he sound so off?
The ending of mutiny kind of reminds me of “think mark, think!” From Invincible.
“These were Helios’ cattle, and now you’ve killed one! Who will Helios send??? Think Eurylochus, think!”
There are so many books I want to read, but alas, I am SO BUSY.
Welcome home, Odysseus. Penelope has missed you…
Going to war for 10 years and will take another 10 years to return to Ithaka where my wife and son wait for me (I’ll be gone for a week, it’ll feel like a month, and my cat and dogs have little to no sense of time I fear)
My current goal for art is to try and figure out how to properly draw men. When the day comes that I unlock that skill, I can finally draw Odysseus King of Ithaka and no one will be able to stop the next step of my brain decomposition. I don’t have a name for it yet but we’ll cross that bridge when we get to it
Seriously if anyone has tips for actually drawing men please let me know-
guess you could call that a. shippy cup
The horrors persist, but so does Odysseus and his love for his wife.
UNWELL MY FEELINGS THE AMOUNT OF SCRIPT FLIPPING MY HEART AND SOUL
Do you mates think Odysseus or Telemachus will use the “close your eyes and spare yourself the view” line with Penelope before or after the uuuuh suitor slaughter?
I desperately need a rendition of “Survive” in Ithaka Saga’s song “King”. Let me hear Odysseus unleash his remaining rage and fury on the Suitors, the only things standing in between him and the end of his journey home.
Something that I greatly respect Jorge for, is putting all of these little Easter eggs in each Epic song. Aside from listening to them on repeat because they slap, you can also listen to them on repeat and notice details in the music that you never knew were there.
Greek mythos brainrot is so bad that Odysseus king of Ithaka can grow mushrooms using my neurons
