You are the first reactor I've seen who has recognized/reacted to the motif of different beast in "keep your head down he's aiming for the torches." In different beast: "my real wife knows I'm not scared of the water!"
@danielwideman5255
This is about reversed roles. Ody is now the monster hunting Antonus' "men". He's now their Polyphemus. They broke the law of hospitality. This starts with the very title. You called it yourself. Polyphemus, scylla, Charybdis, etc. Now Odysseus. He's joined the monsters and won't even grant mercy when they invoke Polites open arms values.
@linnywines8014
The ending with the change of lighting is showing things from Telemachus’s point of view: this is his first time meeting his father, and Odysseus likely isn’t matching up with whatever ideas he’s built up in his mind. This Odysseus isn’t a commander or a leader: this is a monster unleashed and out for blood.
@icemagiciangh
It could easily either be the suitors or his own choir. In 600 Strike, after he truly became the monster, we did hear Odysseus get his own choir with “600 MEN!”. So, we know he’s capable of it.
@sweetpea_imaginesalot
SAY IT WITH ME!-- He is the monster rawr rawr rawr!!!
@IamWalkingDead1
I do think it is funny how Jorge's message is "Sometimes you need to be ruthless to protect what you love." But people conflate it with Odysseus becoming a monster and going "Is he though? They were going to do bad things to Penelope and Telemachus." And that's the thing. You're supposed to root for him, you're supposed to want him to kill them all, to be ruthless.
@celestivlgvlvxy
you, mortius, and casper all just cackling madly during the open arms line,,,,,,glad that’s the universal reaction
@kojardine5746
Did you notice that at the very end after he says “this will be your fate” the background chorus changes to the same as the end of “No Longer You”, signifying the end of the prophecy?
@curlybirdy
her realizing its athena with telemachus was my favorite moment in this video i think 🥹😭✨
@Inmonious
I didn't even CLOCK that he says "my mercy's long since drowned" to reference how his tipping point was practically drowning whilst fighting poseiden then changing his whole "open arms" thing, that was so smart
@andrewchilds8886
In the official one, Odysseus decapitated the last suitor in this will be your fate
@chymera45
"Keep your heads down he's aiming for the torches!" lesson learned from Scylla, he's truly taken all his previous experiences and applied them now that he's the Monster
@stars_and_lattes3078
We've got to understand that just cause the suitors didn't physically harm Penelope, it doesn't mean they didn't harm anyone else. Remember a palace has handmaidens, servants, etc, who would've been at the suitors' whims for 20 years. They deserved this.
@EpicNerdsWithCameras
Beyond just being one of Athena's motifs, that quick beat we hear when Telemachus appears and throughout his fight with the suitors is specifically associated with the "quick thought" ability Athena mentioned in Little Wolf. You'll notice that we hear it each time that Telemachus is about to act or try to reason with the men, implying that she's using it to help him strategize.
@elieli2893
Poor Telemachus really, gets his dad back but this carnage is his first impression of the guy 😅 He literally watched Odysseus slaughter everyone. Yes, he no doubt wanted them dead and gone, too, after what they have done and planned to do, but it's still a wild first impression - your absent war hero dad, prowling through your palace, hunting down men like a wild animal 😅
@JeminaMonnie24601
After Odysseus said, I have had enough, I got an add for Snickers (you’re not yourself when you’re hungry), and it fit to perfectly 😂.
@billyp1836
He is the monster rawr rawr rawr
@Ali-fx2wo
I loved how your look of horror at Odyssey’s actions immediately went away when Ody mentions the suitors plans to SA his wife. 16:24
@throwaway2803
You should really check out Stella Luna's Animatics for Odysseus. They have done a wonderful job portraying how it wasn't just Odysseus the man taking revenge, but a large variety of gods subtly blessing him to enact justice upon the suitors that broke the laws of hospitality. Really worth worthing, even if you don't feel like recording it, just for the wonderful work done in the subtle displays and symbolisms they portray with the scenes.
