    Even though Elpenor was completely scrapped from the soundtrack, he definitely needs to be a character in the broadway show. Nothing big, but just a noticeable background character in the first few Sagas. That “wow” scene was absolutely perfect for the way he should be portrayed Then you need to have him appear at the very end of There are Other Ways where he falls and dies. Have it be really quick, in the background, and bring no attention to it. Everyone is so focused on the epic climax of the song that nobody is looking at the corner of the stage. Then of course have him with the dead soldiers when they travel into the Underworld. But it doesn’t stop there, imagine if his spirit made a few random cameos throughout the show in the background. A blink and you will miss it type of thing.
    I feel like Elpenor has the perfect potential to be one of those random background characters that fans absolutely love and meme about. Imagine like Peggy from Hamilton. An essentially pointless character that somehow works his way into being seen as one of the “main characters.”

    Me and my brother who knew about the original scene where Elpenor died in the odyssey were expecting him to show up, and were upset when he didn’t. And then we freaked out when we saw this! We even popped off when he posted the trailer clip that says 558 men because we thought Elpenor was going to be in the underworld saga and we noticed the math!

    Elpenor: I died, and nobody noticed, I died, and nobody cared~🥴🎶
    Greek Mythology enthusiasts, people who've read the Odyssey, and Epic the musical fans:
    Ah, so YOU'RE the Easter egg? Well that makes so much more sense, for a while we thought Jay pulled another "twElvE LoNg yEarS" lol~🎶✨
    Jay: hehe yeah, he's another Easter egg in this musical-
    ..wait, you guys thought I suck at math?? I only messed up once-🥹
    (In all seriousness tho, thanks, Mr Jalapeño, for creating this mythological masterpiece of a musical, I truly appreciate you, and I defs can't wait for more to be released!~🙏🏽✨)

    • @justreshtrynachillax
      @justreshtrynachillax Місяць тому +3

      Honestly Elpenor, as an Ithacan soldier, you could've at least died a noble death, like in the Trojan war, the battle against Polyphemus the Cyclops, or even in the aftermath of Poseidon's wrath, when he sank Odysseus' entire fleet-(11/12 ships)
      But nOo, you chose to survive all those ordeals, and instead get drunk on top of THE LITERAL ROOF OF CIRCE'S PALACE, like how did you think this was a great idea? Smh my guy-😓

    But no, that’s actually hilarious. RIP Elpenor. Literally.

    Checked the math, checked the math again and was like.. "math is not mathing😂😂" but I chose to ignore it for the sake of not getting annoyed when listening to the song but it bothered me... Thanks for explaining it!

    @codenate02 19 днів тому +4

    The idea of a random death basically calling Odysseus out "I died and you didn't even realize because I'm just one of the hundreds of people who died under your leadership" is a good one, but it probably WOULD be next to impossible to write "I got drunk, fell off a roof, and died. And none of my friends noticed I was gone" in a way that wouldn't come off as far too comedic for the Underworld's vibe. Anyway #justiceforelpenor
