600 strike sucks ohh god
#ive been ruminating#it makes no sense in canon. NO SENSE .#SORRY#WHY would the men help odysseus. they owe him nothing he sacrificed all of them for this and they HELP HIM????? aAAA#i can kindd of see polites and anticlea here lending a hand. MAYBEEEE eurylochus. but the MEN? no#the only way it can shake out is if the men are taking their vengeance on poseidon through odysseus#(which is. not canon)#and the whole song hinges on odysseus beating poseidon FOR them as if he's angry at poseidon for it when it's his fault#im incoherent . sorry.#animators save that song through sheer force of will and refusal to stick to windbag jetpack (correct choice however they choose to do it)#im not even upset at the windbag itself as a choice. well i am#but I'm more upset at odysseus characterisation#HE DOESN'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT THEM#HE'S NOT ANGRY AT POSEIDON BECAUSE OF THE MEN HE'S ANGRY BECAUSE HE'S AN OBSTACLE#it breaks the line of what was a really well done corruption arc up until this point#this is the false rightousness poseidon was talking about in ruthlesness POSEIDON IS CORRECT HERE#but it's not acknowledged at all. and you can infer it if you TRY really hard but you SHOULDN'T HAVE TO#GITW and 600 strike live on the backs of the animators completely#which is a shame honestly. they shouldn't have to work around such a glaring flaw imo#epic the musical critical#600 strike critical#not gonna put it in the main tag but i want to see some takes
