I’ve been really into Epic: The Musical lately, so here are some of my thoughts:

• I keep wondering why during “Puppeteer” there’s not the rhyme of “wine” and “swine”, because I think it was the wine specifically that turned them to pigs.
• Was confused for a bit cause I thought Jorge also voiced Telemachus.
• Cannot think of what, but the part in “Polyphemus” where it’s like “a gift from you and a gift from me” the tune(?, I know nothing about music) reminds me of something.
• Half the plot wouldn’t have happened if they were just vegan.
• As many have said, if I was Odysseus I would have gone on a murderous rampage after the crew opened the bag. He literally told them what was in it! Why would they do that? Especially like, 200 ft away from home?!
• Also, Odysseus should have maybe hid the bag so he could sleep, or put it under his clothes or something. Maybe hug it like a body pillow if it’s really big.
• Also, I don’t really think Polites is a pacifist exactly, but I also kinda wonder if he was more of a medic rather than a fighter. Cause I’m honestly a little surprised that he’s not Odysseus’s second-in-command. Although, I can also see that he might not be the best fit for that role.
• Like, I definitely think Polites is a very skilled fighter, it would have been questioned more for just the two of them to go if not, but I also don’t think he enjoys almost any aspect of war.
• Also I get really sad if I think about Polites too much, should have known that he would die, cause I immediately liked him.
• Also get really sad for Odysseus too. (end of “Love in Paradise” gets me every time.)
• I honestly don’t feel that sad for Eurylochus, I understand where he’s coming from and it is sad, but a lot of the bad things that happen to him is kinda his fault. I do still like him though.
• I also keep wondering why the cyclops doesn’t just say that a human hurt him, why did he feel the need to use a name?
• I had a dream where Odysseus decides not to kill the infant, and instead gave it to Polites to raise.
• Also where did Polites’s headband come from? And the glasses? Cause I honestly was thinking he has really good eyesight, for some reason I imagine him using a bow and arrow, also he was the one to spot the island.
• The music is truly top tier, literally every single one’s amazing.
• I got really in to watching Jorge’s videos about the process.
