"are we on my channel 😐" "yeah 😀" "WHAT A FUCKING- 😡😡😡😡😡" BYE I CANTTT LMAOO

In Jorge's defense, if a wind god had floating islands, most people would think that it meant they were in the sky

For me, how I interpret Luck Runs Out, is that Odysseus is putting on this show of confidence in this song. He doesn't want his crew discouraged and wants to look strong in front of his men. That's why (to me) when Odysseus pulls Eurylochus aside, his voice gets much darker. That's the real Odysseus. (Again this is just my interpretation)

Even if Open arms is naive I have to defend my boy Polities because the line between naivity and hopefullness is allmost invisible

“What’s Jorge’s Twitter?!” Get me every time 😆

I interpret Odysseus’s optimism in this song as a sign that he’s in the denial stage of grief.

Casper: Ive read it, but never heard it, aolus? Eealus? Eolus? Mortius: I think its Aeolus? The commitment to no spoilers with this guy is insane

Thing about "sexual tension" between Odysseus and Eurylochus is even funnier/more absurd cause he is married to Odysseus' sister in mythology...

8:20 So just wanted to add some stuff about Polities headband ^^ Wolfy animated Odysseus taking it and wrapping it around his arm, a lot of other animators have interpreted it as Odysseus taking Polities headband and wearing it as his own headband. For instance Gigi's Odysseus does not have a headband in the first two songs and from the Ocean saga onwards their Odysseus has a headband. Aka he took Polities's headband ^^ Also another fun fact, Wolfy did the headband around the arm cause they don't like drawing headbands, they said this on their Instagram on one of their drawings of Odysseus. ^^

This one hits hard and I can start to see some real cracks showing in the boys. Something I noticed on re-listening is a tone shift not just in Odysseus, but Eurylochus. His argument is solid... at the start. "Wait... stop, think. Don't just run at this god without a plan." Solid advice. The crew is a bit shaken from everything. It has been rough. His friend and king has 'that look' again of adventure. But this changes when the crew chimes in. This conversation shouldn't have been in public. You don't question your general, captain, or King in front of the men. You speak privately. You trust. A slight slip up? Probably, but as the men/crew start to agree with him Eurylochus starts to become bolder. He oversteps... Odysseus even calls him on this, "where is this attitude coming from?" And Eurylochus tries to cover it (maybe even believes it) saying he doesn't want to see more of the men die... in front of the men. Odysseus at this moment takes a tactic shift and almost puts on the "king face" mask. He addresses Eurylochus. He answers his questions and accusations/concerns direcly but you can feel he isn't speaking to Eurylochus anymore. He is speaking to his large army who is very clearly overhearing this exchange. Odysseus is perfoming here, as King. Reminds them he is an amazing leader, cares for them, empathic to their plite, and is with them. And then humbles his second publicly and asks him to step into "the office". After separating Eurylochus he reminds him of his role and checks him quick and you can hear Eurylochus back down and seem almost shocked at himself and his own actions. You mentioned Athena's influence with the piano? I don't know if it's true but I love it so much to let go of the idea of her own influence on Eurylochus. Edit: removed potential spoiler. Not risking it.

Another thing that I think isn't widely mentioned is that Eurylochus is also his brother-in-law, as he married Odysseus' sister, Citimine.

Eurylochus and Odysseus are actually brother in laws because he married Odysseus sister before they went off to war so the mentioning of "brother" has another meaning besides just the "you're my second in command, you've been my brother in arms during all of this"

Jorge has mentioned before that the whole point of this song is to show how Eurylychus is influencing the men, that’s why when he sings you hear the backing vocals. Which is WHY Odysseus is pissed and takes him aside.

25:49 Also, Polites' blind trust in the lotus eaters is what led to the whole encounter and misunderstanding with Polyphemus. His philosophy of greet the world with Open Arms is nice in practice but it ultimately isn't one that is rewarded a lot in the Greek world of monsters and gods that they live in.

One thing i love about this song. is how when the backing vocals start to sing along with Eurylochus. We can take it as the other crew members already doubting Odysseus. In such a short time he's lost two important figures, who both add something to his moral compass. So hes feeling even more guilty for his actions. And so now odysseus is overcompensating for the loss of polites, by trying to cling to the ideals of his best friend. If he doesnt then his argument with Athena will have been for nothing. Everything's changed since Polites, so 😭😔😈

I'm here to bring your attention to the description which just says "I'm still sad and I still miss polites" Same Casper, same. See y'all at the premiere :D

Fun fact, that’s not a spoiler for epic, but just information from specifically homer in Greek mythology there is a main guardian, which is Aeolus, son of hippotes, and each of the wind directions is interpreted by different Guardian of the wind so there is one for the north wind, Boreas , the south wind, Notus, the east wind, Eurus, and the west wind Zephyrus.

I love how this is just titled "I HATE HIM". Mortius is really making you suffer!😂

both Odysseus and Eurylochus screw up in this interaction, one should have pulled the other aside first to talk in private and the other should be more open to hearing opposition.
