WAIT IDK IF I'M TWEAKING OR NOT BUT IF YOU GO TO "GET IN THE WATER", SECONDS 0:20-0:23, YOU CAN HEAR ATHENA'S TUNE GUYS AM I GOING CRAZY
Poseidon really took "kill yourself" to the next level
i love how in the beginning of "Dangerous" there's no synth... no other instruments... no backup vocals... It's just guitar because it's just Odysseus
I’ve been thinking about it a lot and I think I can finally put into words why 600 strike just did not work for me.
It's the tonal dissonance. It's the breaking of immersion.
600 strike in my opinion does not keep up with the tone of the musical or even the tone set by Get in the Water. Think about it: we go from a tragic song about a god adamant about killing a man just trying to get home, both tired but completely at odds… to a song of a mortal man jetbacking and striking a god with his mortal sword before stabbing said god with his own trident. And somehow not getting killed by said god he is torturing in the process, with no indication from the song or visuals that he is being aided by divine intervention. It completely destroys any tension from the previous song and paints Poseidon as not really a threat (after all he just got owned by a mortal).
I'm sorry the saga was great and the music was amazing but honestly? I just couldn't take the last song seriously at all, which sucks bc that is supposed to be the highest moment of the musical in terms of themes and pay off.
Absolutely no hate to Jorge though, that man is my hero and an inspiration (especially as a writer and painter). I’m being serious he is an amazing and cool person and he should be proud of himself for what he has managed to create. I hope he can be fulfilled in his life as he continues to create art for himself and others.
Okie so I actually want to hear everyone’s thoughts on the Vengeance Saga, cause I have some mixed thoughts.
On one hand, IT WAS SO GOOD FROM A VOCALS PERSPECTIVE AND THE SONGS BEING BOPS. I was impressed by everyone’s performances (seriously I know in every saga everyone sounds awesome but this saga is just so visceral and surreal?!) Odysseus (Jorge the king himself) especially was so good in this musical?! His desperation and anger?? THE SCENE WHERE HE NEARLY DROWNS??? AAAAAAAAAAA
On the OTHER hand, I can’t be the only one that found the saga a little… corny? Not even the saga honestly just 600 strike. Idk I just couldn’t take 600 Strike seriously and I don’t think a song with that kind of narrative weight should have that effect. I recognize the musical is inspired by video games and anime, and that’s fine. But I feel there is a difference between being inspired by different works of anime versus using overused cliches and stereotypes from anime as a genre. (and maybe I’m taking it a little too literally but how the hell did Ody actually manage to torture Poseidon, like did the souls of his crew give him the power to stand to a god?)
Idk these are just initial thoughts I’d love to hear everyone’s takes bc I honestly don’t have a concrete judgement on 600 strike.
