Troy Saga (Remastered) - Reaction, Analysis, AND Tier Listing!!

Comments

I love Mason haha

i think the reason the soldiers feel a lil more seperated is cause they are. im pretty sure the first few harmonies in the originals were just jorge and a couple others but now he has more people to play the soldiers as well.

i think horse and the infant is a perfect intro to epic, its just not one of the bangers as it were. so i agree with that placement for both of yall. its job is to introoduce the motifs and some of the characters and set the stage for the rest of the songs and i think it does that super well.

Luke's sections of 'I don't think you're ready!' might have more than one god included in them. Perhaps Athena is there, but in the back? I also miss Luke holding that last note, it was so beautiful in the first recording, but this is still a gift to listen to. Also! The golden light that delivers the baby? Zeus uses it to tempt Odysseus with a vision of Penelope! This god is demented.

I love that I can hear Eurylochus in those soldiers<3 Love the video!

I LOVE LOVE LOOOOOVE the new chorus vocals, ESPECIALLY for the men, it’s so beautiful and layered and, as you mentioned, the less-blended vocals really add so much to the tracks because I LOVE being able to hear what key the men are singing at! I think my favorite change that I don’t think y’all noticed it, but in “Just a man” when the men sing the final “when does a man become a monster” they end it on a lower and more dissonant note, when in the original they resolve it to that higher, finished, more satisfying note (I don’t know how to describe this through words so if that made no sense I’m sorry 😭). Compare 30:19 to 30:25 and how they end singing “monster” ITS SO GOOD! And Full Speed Ahead has always been in my SSS tier (I’ve sung “and Ithaca’s waitiiing, my kingdom is waitiiing, Penelope’s WAITIIIING FOOOR MEEEE” like a vocal tic, just constantly singing it in my head and out loud DAILY, AND the repeat motifs throughout every other saga made me love it even more), so the new less-blended vocals made me wanna cry happy tears, PERFECTION!!! I LOOOOVE being able to hear those super duper low bass and baritone notes from the crew, like I can feel the droning lower notes in my heart I makes me so happy. Which makes the Thunder Saga even more heartbreaking because WE’LL NEVER GET TO HEAR THEM SINGING BEHIND ODYSSEUS EVER AGAIN 😭😭😭😭 I pray that Ody gets some chorus backing him from the gods or something, then my chorus-loving heart won’t have to be in constant mourning 🥲

I look forward to the Eurylochus Battle. I will be sitting here readying my cunning arguments. 😈 #teamEurylochus

No shot this man Mortius just dropped a casual Owl House reference but I'm loving this format for the revisit!

D'artanyan Knowles

For me that new "i dont think you are ready" choir is the other gods singing to him foreshadowing his odyssey but its just me

Ariel Perez

I wanna believe the tom drums in Warrior of the Mind are the boar's instrument.

Alcaria Swain

So we know your problem with Posiedon, Casper. But what about your problem with Hades?

Alcaria Swain

I've compared both the old releases and remasters a couple times. The tempo of the vocal delivery in Open Arms is the same. It just feels faster because of the mixing changes.

MildlyPerturbed

I love Full Speed Ahead! Definitely one of my favourites from the Troy Saga. I always smile when it's on, and I love the harmonies in it!

MildlyPerturbed

I am happy that my dark humor joke about Polites not having his glasses got remembered!

Tone87

Casper mentioned polities not having glasses in the underworld saga. I personally thought polities didn't wear his glasses because it was just his soul we see. His body still have the glasses but the soul wouldn't.

MsPurpleDancer

A thing I noticed in Just a Man is that you can clearly hear Eurylocus's voice in the new version during the soldiers session. His voice is in the forefront like he's is watching. Idk if Polities voice can be heard but I can definitely pick out Eury's voice.

MsPurpleDancer

Also my tier list for the new remaster Troy saga is S) Open Arms A) Horse & Infant A) Warrior of the Mind B) Just A Man B) Full Speed Ahead They're all so good really love this new remaster of all 5 songs

Zakksu

100% agree with you Mortius that Full Speed Ahead should just be a romcom Sims bcuz I wanna romance Polties with Ody if possible 😂 I liked that animatic style it's super good. I really love the remaster of these 2 sagas & it's great to see you both noting the differences from the old versions. Fantastic I loved your reactions & can't wait to check out your remaster Cyclops reaction

Zakksu

Casper is officially Mortius' anger translator. https://youtu.be/HkAK9QRe4ds?si=j1dgWU2CVP2i8KBv

Alcaria Swain

Ooooooh, I'm so hyped for this!!! Tier lists! Tier lists!

Alcaria Swain

but of troy open arms the horse and infant full speed ahead the last two would have to be just a man warrior of the mind

MJ

full speed ahead 100% my favourite, least favourite has to be open arms, but i love all of troy

jayden_arsonew

my favorite song it is always switching up

MJ

I loved your jamming on Warrior of the Mind! xD The video was awesome and so much fun to watch! And to answer your last question: I'm totally with Mortius, and "Warrior of the Mind" is absolutely my favorite so far :)

"give me back my weirdly elongated birds" -mortius 2024

xairin

i might be wrong, but i think jorge said in ocean he started to record all harmonies seperate instead of them all singing together, which he mightve done for these as well now

jayden_arsonew

I think the god Casper said had a big nose is Hermes. The nose is his hat Also death break down Polythemus-72 Posiedon-485 Alcohol/Stupidity-1 Scylla-6 Zues-36

Chase Elmquist

By the way, the artist who drew Zeus and Co., Giulia is pronounced just like Julia: it’s the Italian spelling! Also, will you release the tier list link? I like the way y’all arranged it

TheTuneShifter

Also in open arms you missed my favorite part or at least didn’t comment on it. One of the lotus eaters say “om nom nom nom”

Lauren Hedman

Once all of the sagas are out, please look at a map of the route they took. It’s so insane. I say after all of the sagas are out because most of the maps have spoilers of things that are to come.

Lauren Hedman

AHHHH You’ve heard the remasters now!!! Now my order of thoughts watching this: 1. Collab with Teagan?!?! Hell yeah 2. I hear “banana peel” so much more now in HATI, I’d always heard “Penelope” in the old one 3. Full Speed Ahead is my personal fav in Troy saga, and I also freaked out over hearing the Polities harmony at the end 4. Polities in the Underworld: “hey, who’s that blob singing?” I WHEEZED

PugglePug735

Also I don't know if you picked up on it: When you guys mentioned the piano at the beginning of Warrior of the Mind wasn't as prominent, I'm not sure if you both noticed that once she started saying "i see you changing from how i designed you" the piano comes forward and is now almost. leading the instrumental? if that sounds right?

Ashes2Ash

I know its kinda a joke but! It's entirely likely Odysseus and his men WERE fishing, at least when they could. But the supplies are most likely OTHER necessary foods that they've run out of. Just eating fish would not provide the men with enough Vitamin C to avoid catching scurvy, which is probably WHY they needed to find more supplies!
