Some of you will know that I am introducing my mom to epic through animatics. I need your help deciding which ones, now that we are up to the wisdom saga and I am spoilt for choice. I've narrowed it down to basically two each. We'll start with Legendary because tumblr won't let me do more than one poll at a time:
friendships end. relationships end. fictional man whos doing even worse than you is forever
Fearless child, Broken boy; Tell me what it's like to burn.

Epic from the perspective of someone on the other ships is like, so funny to me
I mean, imagine you have just got through the worst war of your life. Ten long years and you’re finally able to see your family again. Then your captain/commodore I guess/king says he’s going to go check out this creepy island.
Whatever, you were feeling hungry anyways. Then it’s off to a cave, where you sit around waiting for a weirdly long time until the crew of the fleet’s flagship emerge significantly worse for wear. The really nice guy who used to share his lunch with you sometimes is gone. The king is busy having an argument with thin air on his ship. Everyone is covered in blood.
Oh well, at least you can enjoy this mutton they brought back.
Then there’s a massive freaking storm and you’re literally about to die before you’re handed a harpoon and told to throw it as hard as you can at the sky? And you end up tethered to this beautiful floating island but you can’t even appreciate it because the king is busy having an argument with his first mate. It’s super awkward for everyone else.
The king disappears and returns with a cool glowing bag which these weird little creatures seem to think is treasure, but the king insists is dangerous. You shrug it off and go back to your ship.
Finally, nine days of peace! Nothing weird happens and you’re starting to believe you might actually make it home when THE FREAKING STORM COMES BACK YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE DONE WITH THIS!!
You’re blown away from your home and your family and end up in this scary place with a whole bunch of giants and a very angry Poseidon singing about a cyclops. And you’re like what?? We never blinded a cyclops?? What are you talking about?? And then before you have a chance to question it you straight up drown in a tidal wave conjured to teach someone else a lesson.
No wonder they were so mad in the underworld. When does a man become a monster?? Probably when he doesn’t even bother providing context to his men before they die!
If you have time, open the website in different browsers and on different devices as well!
I can’t find it on tumblr and IT CHRISMAS GOD DAMMIT.
MERR CHRISMAS.
Nobody talks about how good Jorge is at communicating that time has passed in his music. That part in Puppeteer between when Ody sends out Eurycholus and when he returns so clearly expresses that time has passed without needing to say anything! Same with the opening cords of legendary. I have no idea how he does it, it’s actually insane how clearly he can communicate ideas through his music.
Showed my mother thunder bringer last night. When Zeus sang “only I can undress her” she gave me the most hilarious look of absolute disgust, horror and apprehension all in one
I’m was gonna post all of the cringe stuff instagram would hate here instead, but it’s more of an epic the musical blog now. Also cover art is by Zwist (obviously)
