The thing about Monster that I'm currently obsessed with: the way Odysseus humanizes his enemies as he dehumanizes himself. He correctly describes the motivations of the Cyclops, Circe, and even Poseidon which takes a level of understanding that people struggle with under the best circumstances. But then in the same verse he describes himself from the view of the Trojans. ("Does a soldier use a wooden horse to kill sleeping soldiers because he is vile?")
and of course the whole song is "Monster". If Odysseus can't stop seeing his enemies as people (seeing his own son in the Trojan infant), if that is what is killing his men and if there is no future where he makes it home as the person he is, then of course he has no choice but to stop being a person.

Can we talk about how amazing Jorge’s mom can sing? Cause not only was it a heartbreaking moment, but her voice is so pretty too?!

“Even if you’re the last thing I see, I’ll be waiting”
Voiced by Jay’s mom.. it’s the softest part of the whole musical, those were her last thoughts as she died, Odysseus hadn’t seen her in 10 Years. Odysseus recognized her voice immediately. He Joins her in singing. I’m devastated. Actually sobbing.

*SCREAMS* -cough cough- (I’m empathizing with Odysseus rn)
And screaming, because I can’t believe that my favourite song from EPIC is released (No Longer You)

“ventured too far” just feels like something a mother would say about her little kid.
Odysseus is his mother’s baby always and forever, he just ventured a little bit aways, surely he’ll be back by his mother’s side soon. right where he should be. soon.

the fact that what the ghosts were singing in epic the musical are what they were last thinking is so genius and upsetting.
polites wanted him to continue being kind
his mother wanted him to return
his dead soldiers were thinking that odysessus betrayed them

I love how Jay gives us little treats with the snippets of songs and then he just whacks us in the FACE with the full song.

May Castellan, at some point, probably: Waiting... Luke when you come home, I'll be waiting... Even if you are the last thing I see, I'll be waiting...
