Oh! Thanks for confirming that Jorge is singing Odysseus’ part! BEAUTIFUL!😁
Hey someone probably mentioned this but a few fun facts about the musical instruments. First each main character has their own instrument. Odysseus has the guitar but it’s fun to see if you can pick up on the rest.
If there is a human character with a background vocals it means other characters (such as the crew) are echoing his words. Gods however can create a background chorus even when they are alone.
Although the animatics aren’t technically canon, Jorge does go into detail in his own videos about the vision and background choices. Because of that they are probably pretty close and can be taken as canon or canon adjacent.
Some other facts:
Odysseus is voiced by Jorge! (Or jay) he not only wrote the musical but voices the main character. He’s very talented!
There is a “danger is coming” motif. It plays whenever there is danger. Make sure to listen to it as it plays fairly often
The clock sound you hear in the beginning represents Athena! It shows that she is watching. I hope this helps!
the ticking of the clock means that athena is watching
Terrible pause timing but great commentary
WELCOME TO THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF EPIC, JENGEM
YAAAY! 🙌🏼🎉

He really took the revenge part seriously

He’s taking his revenge😭
YES (no spoilers !!!)

5:35 Jorge is both the creator and the voice of Odysseus (main character)
Thanks for confirming!! 😁

Can i just say how much i love the fact Casper and Mortius are just dragging people kicking and screaming into this fandom? I cant wait to watch you go through this journey! welcome to the fandom!
Haha! Am loving it 😁
ONE OF US 🤩 So excited to see you experience this masterpiece!!!
Yaaaay🙌🏼😁
Mortius... WHY ARE YOU EVERYWHERE!
Really!!! I only found your channel recently and now (especially for Epic) you're everywhere!!! 😂
Bro has a sixth sense for epic.
@@Meloned_turtle176 Jen and I have been friends for years actually, I am secondhand responsible for her beginning her journey 😁
Fun fact: This relates to the background vocals. If the human characters are singing, and if background vocals are there, there HAVE to be other humans in the scene to do them. But when it comes to the gods when they sing, they can just summon their own background vocals since, you know, they’re gods.
Love that! Thanks for sharing😁
@@JenniferGlatzhoferalso, you probably noticed this already but justin case, each character has a theme/musical language during their songs that helps each of them stand out
Since I haven't seen the answer to your question about the singer in the comments yet, it is also the composer. He sings the main role of Odysseus.
And about the comparison to Lin-Manuel, Jorge is also from Puerto Rico, so there might be some similar influences in their music. :)
Thank you 😁
YAY ANOTHER ONE JOINS THE NOT CULT!!!! ALSO CASPER RECOMMENDED IT TO YOU? AWESOEMEEEEEE (mortius dragged him into the rabbit hole and now he's dragging everyone else down with him >:D)
Haha he for sure is!
I love that Jen managed to identify the danger motif the the VERY FIRST SONG, while Casper still didn’t get it by the end of the Ocean Saga.
It's hilarious 🤣🤣
That's why we love Casper, he's clueless and adorable
@@Into_The_Sin sometimes we get prophet Casper other times we get posiren 🤣🤷
@@phoenix_songbird The man literally said "What's with that motif, do I hear mermaids? Yes well, now it's all clear to me, it's obviously POSEIDON"
@@Into_The_Sin ikr🤣 clearly Poseidon is a mermaid
Welcome to the fandom! There are a lot of musical easter eggs, special motifs, special instruments for certain characters and call-backs. The ticking noise is one of them.
Also, Jorge is the writer and the lead character VA. He also voices some “creatures” you’ll see later on with voice effects
I thought he was only Odysseus and Polyphemus
Who else does he voice?
@@gamersgamestorm8291 winions
@@mercan9834 oh! And I assume the lotus eaters too
I’m confused on those guys since many depict them like Winions. Are they Winions?
@@gamersgamestorm8291 Jay said lotus eaters were winions who ate lotus in discord, so I think they are the same race. I didn't specify because of that, but yes he voices the lotus eaters too
I love seeing musical people, like singers or vocal coaches and the like, react to Epic! There's probably not a single thing Jorge put into his music that was just "Eh, that sounds cool." Everything has a reason for being there. There are a lot of motifs that repeat throughout the songs that allude to different characters or scenarios.
One important example of this is that almost every character has an instrument assigned to them! Odysseus, for instance, is the guitar!
I hope you continue to enjoy the rest of the musical. Jorge is an absolute musical genius.
Love that! Thank you 😁
YAYYY MORE PEOPLE
TEAM POLITES!!! ONE OF US!!!
💪🏼💪🏼
YES i absolutely love finding new creators reacting to EPIC as someone who’s followed it from the first saga i hope to see more creators react to and get farther into the musical
I for sure will continue 😁
ONE OF US, ONE OF US, ONE OF US!!!!
ONE OF US, ONE OF US, ONE OF USSS
THE FANDOM IS GROWING ✊
YASS
As it should 🗣️🗣️
Come to the dark side. We have great music~! 🎶🎵
And morbid stories-
And Rollercoasters! Specifically emotional Rollercoasters
Tissues will be provided
The epic side
We've had singers and muscians react to it, now im just waiting for a classicist reacts.
I’m personally waiting for an expert on the Odyssey
Yessss! More reactors are getting into this in the making masterpiece!
🙌🏼🙌🏼
The vocalist is also jorge btw😊
Also, in 8:51 she caught the freaking danger motif like WOW
I’m so happy another creator is reacting to Epic! The five sagas that have released so far are absolutely stunning! Can’t wait to see you enjoy them!!
LETSGOOO! I love how Mortius started. Casper's journey and now he started yours. This musical is written by a GENIUS, which also is the voice of Odysseus if you didn't know already! He does have a beautiful voice. The talent Mr. Jalapeño (Jorge) has is UNBELIEVABLE.
I loved your reaction and I would a 100% stick around for every reaction you do of this musical. Please continue the hard work and thank you for sharing your insight
Aha thank you!
Couple of things worth listening out for in the future:
1) every character has their own "theme instrument" for example, Oddy has the guitar for him. Give a listen and see what each characters instrument is and if you can find the difference between god and man ;D
2) the ensemble voices for songs are, mostly, diegetic with the exceptions being gods because... Well gods can do whatever they want!
3) youre gonna love this :D
Yeay! The Winion council grows!!! (Info: the Winions is what the fans call themselfves)
I've been seeing Mortius' reactions from day 1 and saw how he dragged Casper into this, so seeing them put someone else trough this cicle😂
I'll give you escential info if you may alow me to info dump:
•Epic The Musical is an adaptation of a famous 'epic' poem made by *Homer,* called The Odyseey (It's not 100% acurate tho) in which our MC, after 10 years of fighthing on the troyan war, tries to go back to home to reunite with his wife Penelope and his son Telemachus, figthing against any foes that he and his men travel to the sea
•Jorge likes to assing an instrument to each important character. For our MC is an Acoustic/Electric guitar (depending on the situation) And like that, many other characters have specific instruments and/or melodies
•'Jay' devides each act in 'sagas'. To this day, we have 5 sagas, with 20 songs among all of them. Since this is still a work in process, we have anoter 4 sagas (and 20 songs) until this is finally completed
Anyways- I hope you enjoy this journey Casper dragged you into and that you stay till the end!💙
Wlsome to the fandom! Nice to see more people interacting with this masterpiece
7:47 that electric guitar is Odysseus. Every important character have one and you will hear that guitar every time he is planning, having a moment when stuff get serious for him and so on
This musical is a ride from start to finish (whenever that happens) it’s AMAZING!!
No spoilers 👿
My girl, it gets *SO. MUCH. BETTER*
i love it when people find EPIC, i love it even more when people share it with others!! its so good!!!
Wooo! So good to see more people reacting to this hidden gem! Love your accent btw and the reaction is perfect! Great talking points, I’m subscribing so I can watch your next reactions the second they come out!
I don’t think this is spoiling anything, I gotta let you know: Each main character has a signature instrument. For instance, remember how you mentioned the Electric guitar? Well guitars are Odysseus’s signature. Im 99% sure .
Thank you!! I’m looking forward to this journey 😁
I am glad so many people are getting into this. I'm a new listener too and I've been so obsessed 😅
Me to I first listen to it a few months before there underworld saga. I can’t stop listening to it, I listen to it every single day.
Randonly stumbled across the animatic for monster... yeah.. im hooked, too...
I don't know if anyone has answered this yet but Jorge himself is not only the writer/composer of the musical but also the singer for the main character role.
Thank you!
All for making the UA-cam reactor EPIC family bigger!! 😊
I'M SO HAPPY TO SEE JAY GETTING THE ATTENTION HE DESERVES!! 💕 Welcome to the fandom!
SOMEONE POINTED OUT THE CLOCK ON THEIR FIRST WATCH, THIS HASN’T HAPPENED BEFORE
JOIN US YASS also love y’all content great people in this comment section
Enjoy the roller coaster that is Epic can’t wait to watch your reactions to the rest of this saga and the other sagas
Thank you!
Mr. Jalapeño is the Vocalist (Odysseus), writer, composer, producer, and a man of many more hats. 👀🙌✨️
He's also freaking hilarious on tiktok
Some knowledge about the facts about the Greek mythology stuff:
This masterpiece is based on the Odyssey by Homer and tells the story of the King of Ithica on his long lasting journey back home after the trojan war from Homer's Iliad.
The main character is Odysseus (sung by Jorge who also lends his voice to the winions and the cyclops Polyphemus later in the story). Penelope and Telemachus are his wife and son. Polites is his best friend. Eurylochus is also a close friend and his second in comment.
Appearing gods through the first Saga are Zeus and Athena.
You can easily make some research for the cast on the Epic the musical fandom page without getting any spoilers for you can avoid them quite good.
When I listened to the saga. I remembered some of this and I was like .. " omg... THE ODDESSY" I remember reading that story for creative writing and I absolutely loved it. And this musical is making me want to reread the story ❤️
I discovered Epic like 8 days ago
And Epic is one of the most welcoming communities I’ve ever seen
Like, the content: Murdering infants, hundreds of deaths, the suitors
The fanbase: WOOO! POLITES! Oh, you are new, come on in!
Seems like the fanbase took the “Greet the World With Open Arms” part to heart
My new favorite thing is watching people discover EPIC
YESSSSSS!!!! ONE OF USSSSSS. We love new people reacting to these!!!
Just so you know for musical analysis this world follows musical rules. All of the characters are represented by instruments. So keep an eye out for when musical instruments are introduced. And the human characters are only capable of having background vocals when other people are in the scene, while gods can have background vocals regardless of whether they are alone or not. And the gods are represented by more techno, synth music while the humans are more orchestral
Thank you!😁
Your analysis is so cool! It's so funny to see all the army Casper is bringing to this... one better than the other, so cool
Hi Jennifer hope you are having an great and awesome day ❤
I hope you do continue to react to Epic. I look forward to your reactions!
It's been years since my first time hearing this song nad OMG. I'm feeling like i'm listening it first time again. I'm crying
ONE OF US! ONE OF US!🐺
Excellent reaction. Enjoyable and also made me appreciate new parts of the song.
Thank you!
ONE OF US!!!!!!!! It’s always fun to see more people discovering this masterpice
Absolutely love that all the best reactors out there are getting into EPIC now!
Jay has set the standard for me now of how well you have to sing if you're going to star in your own musical. He's so good!
Finally it spreads around the world more and more. So many videos where people just watched it hours ago popped up today like it should be
YAYYY!!!! more reactors are getting to know this masterpiece of a musical!!!!!
Girl don't just react to this album. React to ALL the albums!! 😩❤👏
Welcome to the EPIC: Musical fandom! We love seeing people join us on this absolute journey! I would, highly, recommend bringing in your sister for extra context on these as you go along. I think you and the audience would love that; I know I would.
This is so amazing and i love to see more and more people being interested in EPIC but I just wish different creators watched different animatics for the UA-cam releases.
The Epic support group is coming together nicely
Fun fact when Odysseus is being (and I quote) cunning an electric guitar plays but when it’s a emotional moment for him it’s a nylon guitar
Welcome to EPIC! You're never leaving 😂
I haven't seen anyone mention it yet, but any backing vocals in the musical are from actual characters singing them unless there's a god present. Gods are essentially able to conjure their own backing vocals. It can help you to keep track of if there are background characters in a scene or not.
Oh amazing!
Since i havent seen any comments on it yet, i thought i'd comment on it,
Penelope is Odysseus' wife while Telemachus is their son! Their characters will get mentioned quite a lot in the musical since they're Odysseus' end goal (to go home and see them again,)
YES, EPIC THE MUSICAL REACTIONS!
If i remember correctly Jorge said that each character has their own instrument like Odysseus has the electric guitar and the gods can also add a choir or like and echo to make them cooler so if you listen carefuly you can distinguish them
WELCOME to the Epic musical fandom.
At 8:27 during the fight segment the strings in the background playing 2 pitches then pausing then playing another 2 is something called the danger is nearby motif and it’s very reoccurring (if you couldn’t tell what it means it’s in the name)
The danger motif is also playing while Odysseus is giving orders (it starts at Diomedes will lead the charge)
YEEEES MORE PPL REACTING TI EPIC! AND WE... WE WILL JOIN YOU IN YOUR JOURNEY ❤
YEEEEE IM EXCITED
7:48 so the electric guitar actually has significance. Each of the main characters is represented by a musical instrument. Odysseus the main protagonist is represented by guitar. Acoustic for when he is more emotional and relaxed and electric for when he is cunning, angry or fighting.
So glad you're enjoying this! I see Mortius and Casper are on a mission to get everyone into this fantastic musical, lol. I'd love to see you react to the full thing - it's absolutely amazing! 💖
I love listening to everyone FREAK OUT over how good Jay's vocals are.
YES! Please, I love how Mortius and Casper just brought you here and I definitely hope you’re staying! I can’t wait to see more of your reactions
Yeah you will love it. Peter Barber wants to play Zeus.
Yippee new winion helloooo 🤩🤩🤩
ONE OF US!
Jorge actually does the vocals for odysseus himself, and a few others with some effects/reverbs, he has some amazing range.
It's great to see more and more people actually talking about the music and story rather than just sitting there and listening straight through.
I don't have anyone to talk about this musical so it's exciting to hear your analysis!
ONE OF US, ONE OF US!
rwar rwar rwar
I'm a monster rawr rawr raw😊
i love epic the musical and i can not WAIT to see all of your lovely videos!!!!!!!
Jennifer! Been a busy few weeks. So this one is interesting. Looking at the lyrics myself. Wait ... Sarah gets into Greek Mythology? I had to study it in high school English class in 9th grade. With apologies to my English teacher Ms. Nance it wasn't my thing. But who knew Sarah liked it! Wow a cliff hanger ending too. Definitely makes you want to hear the next chapter. Oh a change to the intro/ending music again! Is that Ian's guitar playing? Great reaction and analysis as always Jen.
Yes!! Ian’s on the intro and outro 😁 and great! Hope you enjoy the journey like I am☺️
Jorge, otherwise known as Jay, is the singer
LOTS of lin manuel inspiration in the music style of this show for sure.
Wooooh!! More people loving Epic!!! Welcome to this amazing journey!!!!
IM SO HAPPY PEOPLE ARE LISTENING TO EPIC!!! I JUST LOVE IT SO MUCH!!!
Welcome to Epic, I’m so excited!!! Can’t wait to see the others! ❤
I dont know if anyone has told you yet, but that "ascent" in Horse and the Infant, is the "Danger is Nearby" Motif that plays when, well danger is nearby.
"the horse & the infant" is soooo excellent in terms of openers/introductions, it drops you off at the end of the iliad/start of the sack of Troy & immediately establishes
The kind of musical composition to expect for the next 2hr
Odysseus as a leader
That Odysseus loves his wife/son
Shows us some of Jorge's lovely vocal range in his part with Zeus
Its soooo good & Jorge's soft notes & his belts are, imo _gorgeous_
Little late to your band wagon but: *One of us!*
Info/fun facts: Zeus's signature animal is an Eagle... because of course it is. Odysseus is actually Big Z's Great-Great Grandson (Hermes's is Great Grandpa on one of his sides... I always forget which one). More well known: Poseidon's animal is a horse, this is (as the Troy movie pointed out) the reason Ody came up with the Trojan Horse idea as no one would be dumb enough to destroy a God's offering and it makes for a great... 'center piece' to a victory celebration.
While late I'll likely add more info in other videos so as to not accidentally spoil anything (mostly only important for what's coming after Circe and the like since I see it is the most recent react). Figure spreading the love will help with the algorithm.
Man, she noticed the danger motif quick!
Actually at around 10:59 you mention the Ha Ha that is actually a motif that jorge put in called the danger is nearby motif keep an ear out of it and you will hear it through out the musical there are also a few other motifs but you specifically mentioned that one
Love more people getting into this amazing musical yaaay
Of course we want you to do more Epic reactions!
That had to be a rhetorical question surely? 😂
Love all your reactions, I'm learning so much 😊
WINIONS! We have another one!
I would love to see you react to this whole musical, it's so good!
First time that I watch your channel, I like that your reaction goes so in depth ❤ it was really fun to watch
Can’t wait to see you react to the rest of the sagas!
Great reaction i hope you continue!
The song’s beginning they’re actually INSIDE the Trojan Horse, hence why it’s quieter sung
Looking forward to it Jen. Also, pls don’t forget Amira. Now 20 y.o & studying first year Batchelor of Music, Pretoria University.
Try “ Down From His Glory “ , a new release.
Cheers Graeme
New viewer here, quite excited for you to listen to "Wouldn't you like". I'm not spoiling much but i'll say it's a song of a specific god
Now she just needs to hear the new one.
