Thunder Bringer - Tumblr Posts
This, that's what happened. No one will chamge my mind on this!
Thunder bringer was like...
*gay gasp* It's my time. Okay, so, the Thunder Saga. All of the songs in said saga are great! They're all important and we all love because OH MA GOD are those songs amazing. But Scylla's song has a lot of popularity. Why? Well, it kinda ties the whole saga together and convinces Odysseus that he really needs to be a monster to get back to Penelope. The fact that this is all for Penelope drives him on. This is also reminded to him in Thunder Bringer so that he can make the important decision. (I wish I had someone that devoted to me-) Speaking of Thunder Bringer, can we talk about how Eurylocus and his crew literally stabbed Odyssues less than ten minutes before Zeus comes down? And how he killed the cow? I know he's tired, but the fact that he basically asks for his life from the man whom he just stabbed- But I'll lay off. Anygays, back to the topic. Scylla is also slightly pushing Odysseus further into making the hard decision to sacrifice his crew, reminding him of the monster inside him and how he must bring it out to get home to his darling wife. It is extremely hard for him to give up the lives of his crew, but he needs to get back to his wife and son, no matter the cost. The first lyric is LITERALLY him convincing himself that this needs to be done. That this is his only way to get back home! "They lair of Scylla...this is our only way home..." He is still trying to cope with the fact that he must sacrifice his crew, his friends, to get back to Ithaca. Also, the song is just a banger?! All of them are, but still. The fact that Scylla is actively manipulating Odysseus into killing his men is awesome to experience. Jay how are you so good at this?!
Scylla: I'm hungry...ah, a depressed captain who knows he has to pay to sail through my waters and is going through his character arc! Perfect. *ehem* Deep down~" Seriously, this song is so deep and portrays how Odysseus is finally deciding to get. shit. done. An animatic that shows this really well:
And Odysseus already knows that the creatures are attracted to light, which leads up to Mutiny oh so dramatically. *laughs* I gave you a whole entire crappy essay about it. Hope this helps :3 Also, the music slap. Thunder Bringer and Scylla are favorites for a reason, and it ain't just lore. Have a wonderful day, and may it be Epic.
So, maybe you can explain it, but why does everyone seem so enamored with the song Scylla? Like, don't get me wrong, it's a good song, I just don't...get it?
I’m not really sure! I just really think it’s neat! I’m not sure there is one specific thing that draws everyone to it? But a very pretty voice and a sad story are definite draws!!
Ha! Noice.
Share this gem from EPIC's Reddit community lmao
odysseus: hey don’t open that bag
eurylochus: *opens the bag*
most of the crew: *fucking dies*
odysseus: hey don’t kill that cow
eurylochus: *kills the cow*
the reat of the crew: *fucking dies*
if i had a nickel for every time eurylochus didn’t listen to odysseus and in the process killed the crew i’d have two nickels. which isn’t very much but it’s weird that it happened twice.
(and OF COURSE it was the same guy. first time i made this post everyone reblogged with ‘you know it was the same guys too’ AND IT WAS)
Whole second verse is finished! Time for some Penelope shots!
THUNDER BRINGER🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️
Not Ody hallucinating Penelope when making the "choice" in thunder bringer saying " I can take the suffering from you" meaning " do this , this one gruesome thing and all the others yet to come because when you'll be home it won't matter anymore, when you'll get here you'll be okay and all the suffering will disappear just 'cause we'll be together" because that's what Odysseus is desperately trying to believe BESTIE DELULU ISN'T THE SOLULU I'M SO SORRY BUT YOUR ACTIONS WILL HAUNT YOU FOREVER
Also I think we should take a moment to appreciate how horrible Zeus' part in thunder bringer is. Meaning that it's perfectly done because it makes my skin crawl and it's so sleazy and bad and yes! That's the point! This is the god that would fuck anything that breathes! Pride? Ah yes, it's a DAMSEL IN DISTRESS , hiding where only I CAN UNDRESS HER. Lighting? Yep, I wield and use HER.
God he's so awful and a predator and so full of himself it's perfect but obviously I hate it because he fucking sucks but the song is so well done, it's so him!!!
Tell me Odysseus,
If I were to make you choose
The Lives of your men and crew, or your own,
WHY DO I THINK THEY'D LOSE?
Enlighten me, King of Ithaca,
Since hunger was far too great,
I wonder who'll take the weight of the damned,
And suffer a gruesome fate to the
THUNDER BRINGER!

Guys I know I’ve been posting a lot today but I was listening to thunder bringer and there was a flash of lightning as the riff started it was PERFECTLY IN TIME
My part of Thunder Bringer from the livestream >:3
The thunder saga of epic is making me fucking salivate. I love it, I am fucking feral about it. Mutiny and Thunder bringer are going to be my loop songs for the next forever and a half. I am officially not okay in the best way.
Okay, after listening to thunder bringer on repeat for the past couple of days I can officially say that I now understand all those people that willingly slept with zeus in Greek mythology.
Also, suffering and different beast are fucking awesome. I listened to the whole musical so far during a lesson today and those two stood out to me bc I liked them so much.
Current top 5 epic songs in no particular order:
Thunder bringer
Wouldn't you like
No longer you
Remember them
Open arms
Whilst Eurylochus isn't as faultless as my baby Polites, doesn't mean everything was his fault. Did he open the wind bag? Yes, yes, he did. Did that directly lead to poseidon killing of the crew? No, it didn't. Poseidon would have taken revenge on Odysseus and his crew either way, not just because they were pushed further away from Ithaca. As observed in the snippet of 'get in the water', we've seen that poseidon is more than capable of appearing anywhere in the ocean. Ergo, he was going to kill them all anyway, Eurylochus just spiced things up by changing the location they died. Furthermore, he wasn't wrong to mutiny against Odysseus, and realistically, he wasn't the one fully at fault for zeus and 'thunder bringer'. Now, I'm not saying he's faultless because most of the blame definitely falls onto him. What I am saying is that he was tired and hungry, and he'd given up. Think about it, he'd probably not eaten in days if he stopped off at the first island he came across and killed the sun God's cows. He'd just mutinied against his captain, his friend. Suddenly, the lives of all the crew rest souly on his shoulders. And he's just so tired. Tired of Odysseus ignoring his concerns, tired of seeing his friends and comrades die, tired of seeing Odysseus change for the worst and tired of being hungry. He wasn't in the right state of mind, he'd completely given up by the second half of 'mutiny'. During 'thunder bringer' he doesn't sound angry or even very betrayed. He just sounds apathetic, he's entirely given up at this point. He wants it all to end, and I can't say I blame him. What I'm saying is that, in this situation, would anyone have done anything different? With several gods already looming over you, wishing for your destruction, being so tired and so hungry, and having seen so many of your friends die would anyone really have left those cows?
Tldr; Eurylochus isn't entirely at fault, nobody is entirely at fault. All the actions taken are understandable. They are just humans and they make mistakes.
Ody is better than me. Ngl, after the sht they put him through, I would've given them up with a red ribbon decoration and a thank you card. But I'm no king of Ithaca
“You, or your crew?”
