Regardless of the did she/didn't she, none of her actions that was taken or spoken are ok and are classic manipulation tactics

2024-11-18 10:44:12 +0000 UTCI hate to say it, but for me, it helps that there's no animation of the finale song in this reaction. The chosen style of that animation made it hard for me to stay immersed, and Casper had NO problem following without it ❤️

2024-11-16 09:05:58 +0000 UTCHonestly i love your analysis, but sometimes i just want someone to fangirl/boy with and share my excitement. Great reaction!

2024-11-12 16:32:35 +0000 UTCThis is actually already my favorite reaction to this saga
Montavious
2024-11-11 02:09:02 +0000 UTCI'm honestly not sure who was more surprised and upset about Poseidon showing up: Ody or Casper 🤣

2024-11-09 18:05:08 +0000 UTCI've always preferred a slightly sympathetic calypso because she was also very much a victim and in this specific version it's not necessarily canon that she SAed him.
Catherine Jones
2024-11-09 17:36:41 +0000 UTC"is that your blood on the trident my dear?" idk why but thats exactly how i imagine penelope's dynamic with ody. (and also how i think abt ody in general ngl)

2024-11-09 14:12:32 +0000 UTCAthena may not be dead! (Hopefully) since Gods cant die apparently. And we saw from 600 strike how messed up A god can get and yet he's still alive. If she's actually dead then i might cry 😭

2024-11-09 13:06:41 +0000 UTCI recommend watching scilla nimation's for the Dangerous song. The way they have Hermes is *Chef Kiss* Magnifique.
AgRoseCrystal
2024-11-09 08:38:36 +0000 UTCSo one thing I found about Calypso is the fact she isn't trapped on the island, but she is banished from the Gods. And apparently she might be a nymph and not a goddess like she said in her song Love in Paradise.

Becken Fuggle
2024-11-09 06:02:46 +0000 UTCI was dying to see your reaction! Best five dollars ever spent. You brought up a lot of musical insights I didn't notice. Loved every time you were a prophet (as usual). Can't wait to see you and Mortius react to visuals! Ahhh such a good saga
Maddi Christensen
2024-11-09 04:18:13 +0000 UTCI think the smile in dangerous is probably a reference to charbydis since it's a whirlpool with a mouth
Abby Koch
2024-11-09 03:57:35 +0000 UTCLOVE the lil dance wiggle during Dangerous, was doing the same!! Awesome beat
Maura Gillies
2024-11-08 21:08:22 +0000 UTCIt was harder to listen to without visuals than with them somehow

2024-11-08 16:47:14 +0000 UTCPoseidons screams are melodic and the DM so maybe?
Phoenix Mackenzie
2024-11-08 16:46:32 +0000 UTCThe background motif during the stabbing... Is that from Underworld? Loosely reminds me of 'All I hear are screams' but that might just be me
Boaz Russell
2024-11-08 16:12:06 +0000 UTCso someone actually made an art with the last song of ares saying "let's see what my sister saw in you KING OF ITHICA" and gave him a boost and to me that is understandable how odysseus had the men backing vocals ( I DONT KNOW IF ITS TRUE OR NOT BUT I WANNA BELIEVE THAT )
Caarmilla
2024-11-08 16:01:49 +0000 UTCCasper’s crystal ball is still working. Thank you for sharing this with us. I also appreciate enjoying the music - the breakdown analysis can come later. I’m looking forward to the edited version with Roger.
Dorothy Rosenberg
2024-11-08 14:03:38 +0000 UTCThis was more than worth the wait! I always love when people get to "Next to my wife" and all of us go 'That's our boy(monster), damn right you are!' Okay now to binge watch the rest of your patreon bye bye

2024-11-08 10:21:31 +0000 UTCI think the storm back in ocean saga was sent by Poseidon and so is the one stuffed in this wind bag.

2024-11-08 05:40:49 +0000 UTCI feel like Casper had the best reaction to the ending of Get in the Water😂

2024-11-08 05:34:46 +0000 UTCThe Google translate!😭🤭😂😂😂😂
Itzayana
2024-11-08 05:18:38 +0000 UTCThe way he just casually said ‘Athena snuffed it’😭😭😭😭
Itzayana
2024-11-08 05:10:09 +0000 UTCPolites: “You can relax my friend” Casper: “Oh fuck you” Just that is worth more than 5 bucks, thank you Casper
Jason Ringhofer
2024-11-08 05:05:42 +0000 UTCIt’s honestly crazy how Casper didn’t guess Charybdis, but went off the lyrics and guessed something with a giant mouth🤯

2024-11-08 04:40:10 +0000 UTCHonestly, as much as the original myths and most interpretations don't do enough to absolve Calypso and her tragic love from being abusive, I still prefer the story being sympathetic for her. I've been reading a fanfic online that takes the imprisoning decision away from her and places it on Zeus. She's still pushy, but the fact is that they're both prisoners and don't actually control each other's freedom. And I think that goes a long way personally. The underlying story will always be a toxic romance, but the bittersweet tragedy of two people abandoned by the fates finding varying degrees of solace in each other is cathartic. She wants him so badly and he, at his weakest, can't entirely refuse the respite being offered, even as he longs for another. Anyways, like I said, most interpretations don't write the relationship carefully enough to forgive Calypso, and she becomes an unsympathetic abuser. Her primary literary purpose is to tie up Odysseus for the remainder of his ten year ordeal, rather than fulfill the tragic asperations of romantics, such as myself.

2024-11-08 04:20:16 +0000 UTCThank gods you were pretty hyped at the end because everyone else being traumatized was starting to make me feel bad 😂 Granted the visual is...a different beast 😉

2024-11-08 03:59:23 +0000 UTCAwesome reaction vid! Really look forward to your music breakdowns it’s awesome. Can’t wait for the Open Arms reaction too the visuals are 🔥 😊

2024-11-08 03:24:57 +0000 UTCthe wind bag wasnt cursed, and it bugs me that people dont understand that he meant that the storm was designed to stop him, not the bag

IHNPAIMS (Aryn)
2024-11-08 01:04:12 +0000 UTCSo fun fact, in the first song, the backing vocals are just Ody's and Calypso's voices because those are the only voices she knows
TheSuperSonicBlur -
2024-11-08 00:55:31 +0000 UTCme every time casper speculates on ody vs poseidon: 😅😬
TheBookWyrm
2024-11-08 00:41:41 +0000 UTCIt’s important to note that it’s pretty unlikely that Calypso actually SAd Odysseus in Epic. It happens in the Odyssey but this isn’t the Odyssey, and this version of Calypso is clearly supposed to be sympathetic and not a predator. Obviously her actions were still wrong, but she isn’t as bad as she’s being portrayed. Also it is somewhat ambiguous whether she herself is intentionally keeping him there.

2024-11-07 23:17:05 +0000 UTC#Not Sorry for Loving You, analysis incoming. In the Odyssey, Calypso imprisons Odysseus for seven years on her island and forces him to be her lover, even knowing he does not love her and is trying to get home. After several years Zeus orders her to release him and she complains that gods can take lovers but goddesses can’t. One of the quotes by the author Homer is “saw him (Odysseus) weeping live warm tears in the nymph Calypso’s house - she holds him there by force. He has no way to voyage home to his own native land” and “Calypso, the bewitching nymph, held him back deep in her arching caverns, craving him for a husband” and “but my heart breaks for Odysseus, that seasoned veteran cursed by fate for so long - far from his loved ones still, he suffers torments off on a wave washed island rising at the centre of the seas…Calypso holds Odysseus captive - luckless man, despite his tears - (she is) forever trying to spellbind his heart with suave seductive words and wipe all thought of Ithaca from his mind”. Note that ‘spellbind’ is there, it shows up in a Calypso song. The lyrics in Love in Paradise are also really clear that she’s forcing him into her bed “Just you and me, dear, my love for life, soon into bed we’ll climb and spend our time”, Odysseus says no “Hell no, I could kill you where you stand, I’m no pet I’m a married man”. Does Calypso care for his consent? “oh handsome you may try, but last I checked, goddesses can’t die…you’re adorable, bow down to the immortal Calypso…under my spell, we’re stuck in paradise”. Athena also reinforces this when she says later in the song “seven years she’s kept you trapped out of your control” and we see Odysseus on the brink of self harm. Wangui has such a beautiful voice, the music is beautiful. But what’s happening to Odysseus is monstrous, and so I don’t feel sorry at all for Calypso in Not Sorry for Loving You. It’s an abuser’s apology “And if I pushed you, or if I came on too strong, or if I ambushed you, for that I’ll say I was wrong, and if you hate me, then I am sorry my love’s too much for you” that’s not an apology. Calypso herself was victimised by the gods. It doesn’t give her the right to be a predator. Just my analysis though! No, girl. You’re Odysseus’s predator. You’re his ZEUS. Let him the heck go. I also reacted the same way when Odysseus said “I love you” “just not the way you want me too” it is very weird to put there, and doesn’t seem in character for him to say there.

2024-11-07 23:14:44 +0000 UTCWelcome Home! I'm beyond excited, let's rock! PS, hi beautiful Roger, thank you for your hard work! And of course you rolled Another Nat 20. POSeidon thinks he's going to inflict Suffering, thinks he's going to sleep fine after this. You just wanted to off one dude, that's not an accomplishment. You're cruel, stubborn and can't accept an L.

2024-11-07 22:59:00 +0000 UTCI actually thought it was a reference to Charybdis, since it is portrayed as having many teeth

Michelle Schaefer
2024-11-07 22:08:49 +0000 UTCI just realized Hermes says when danger greets you with a smile do what you must do is referring to Poesidon since he shows up smiling

Moon Harris
2024-11-07 21:53:28 +0000 UTCSo so so excited about your reaction! About Calypso, I'm pretty sure the "she's cursed to fall in love" thing is something from Percy Jackson and not actually from mithology. So I think her curse is just beign stuck in the island. She cannot leave and she trapped Odysseus, so for me the Pupperteer interpretation is spot on. She is manipulating him even while telling him she loves him.

Marianamystery
2024-11-07 21:41:25 +0000 UTCAlso I will say he's not following the north star exactly it's more a marker so he knows which direction he's going because it's hard to tell exactly which direction you are going on the ocean but the north star is always north
Different Odysseus™
2024-11-07 21:37:08 +0000 UTCI'd live there to be a line in the Ithica saga where he's facing.. what's his face, and that's just like "I didn't fuck up posiden, only to be stopped by the likes of you" I'm not an lyricist. But something along those lines. I'm hoping
Latedozer
2024-11-07 21:23:27 +0000 UTCIk in the original Odyssey it was Calypso who kept him on the Island she herself didn't ever want to leave she used her magic to keep him there against his will as for epics version I think she herself is bound to the Island but she still has control over who else can leave which is why Odysseus probably just didn't dip and start swimming out of pure desperation
Different Odysseus™
2024-11-07 21:20:52 +0000 UTCmy comment about it vanished, but thank you SO much for noticing/mentioning the “puppeteer” bit at the end of the first song. i noticed it immediately but haven’t been able to explain what it meant, and your explanation makes perfect sense!

Lauren Hedman
2024-11-07 20:45:21 +0000 UTCi think that about the wind bag at first too but i think they are refering to the storm, the storm was meant to stop him by poseidon design so i still hate Eury the same :3

2024-11-07 20:43:36 +0000 UTCI absolutely love the fact that Posidens screams in six hundred strikes sounds so good because its music to Ody's ears

Casper Fox Høybye
2024-11-07 20:16:09 +0000 UTCTo answer the question of how the island works, the details vary slightly from one version of the story to the other but basically she was the daughter of the titan Atlas who got his ass handed to him by Zeus. Atlas was punished to hold up the heavens, Calypso was sent to her island. In most versions she *technically* could leave, but she'd probably just get smacked around by Zeus and sent somewhere worse if she did.
anni davison
2024-11-07 20:14:32 +0000 UTCShe wasn’t cursed to fall in love just throwing it out there, she was just lonely and entitled as all the gods were. She couldn’t leave the island but that was it. Which yes is sad but I struggle to sympathise with someone who goes from sad and lonely to snatching up a sex slave to try and scratch that itch.
