“Men Don’t Cry”

man does this guy love his wife or what

I keep seeing many theories as to how Odysseus was able to defeat Poseidon in 600 Strike and I desperately need Jorge to confirm at least one of them.

So far the two I’ve been seeing a lot are what I’ll call the “Boon of Ares Theory” where Odysseus is being blessed by Ares as well as what I’ll call the “600 Shades Theory” in which The Shades of Odysseus’ fleet (and Anticlea) are are empowering Odysseus, hence the name “600 Strike”.

High key like the 600 Shades theory more, and I also need an explanation as to why the voicelines change for both Polites and Eurylochus. Why now does Polites say “you can relax, my friend” and why does Eurylochus say “after all we’ve lost and all we’ve learned”? Why those lines specifically???

Actively filing a request to Jorge. Every detail that’s written in Epic is INTENTIONAL.

Good theory👍

So

A friend mentioned to me that Poseidon's trumpets mimic Ares' instrument in 600 strike and that Ares might have blessed Ody in the moment (Shout-out @dysphanic-redshift) and asked me why I thought that might be

In the myths, as far as I remember, Ctimene is a Warrior of Ares, while Ody is Athena's Warrior. Since Ody was so close to being reunited with Ctimene, knowing Ares, there was no way Ares was going to let Poseidon interrupt the reunion of his Warrior and his sister's warrior, hence the blessing

Pokémon real for this^

This has aged very very well

not ready for the moment we actually see Penelope in Epic. because if the first time we see her is also the first time Odysseus sees her I will walk into a river

Wasps are the sports cars of the insect kingdom until someone proves me wrong.

FR I was so scared that Jorge was only going to include Scylla, so I was so happy when he revealed his reference gadget for Charybdis. We love our chittering, whale calling, whirlpool with teeth and her song SLAPS.

Not seeing enough appreciation for Charybdis as a song actually

In ZA, I need us to fight alongside emmet to get Ingo back and grant a wish, but it’s a race against time against Volo who wants to hard reset the world or meet god. How is he in future France? Idk he mentioned how he’d spend centuries trying to find arceus so I’m gonna go with that. I can dream.

JORGE EXPLICITLY SAID TO NOT USE EPIC AS A REPLACEMENT FOR THE ODYSSEY

CHILDREN JUST READ THE ODYSSEY PLEASE
