a bitter broken contrast
btw Epic did make the baby dropping seem like a huge moral conflict, but the truth his he just basketball that baby immediately. Odysseus is the one who orchestrated the entire sacrifice of Iphigenia so they could go to war immediately. Agammenon was out there going but I do wanna kill my daughter and Odysseus was like but you gottaaaaa omg get over it. Then they wanted to kill Polyxena and her mother told him I love her like you love Telemachus, don't kill her, and he was like new phone who dis. When it's kids not his own that must be killed he starts blasting.
it’s very funny that compared to the original source, epic the musical is basically odysseus propaganda that paints him in the best possible light and he is still just straight up a not good person🥹
he is SO funny and it’s almost worse that he has a moral compass (albeit one that is experiencing a electromagnetic quake) in epic cause the entire middle section of the musical was him going from crippling guilt to psychotic behaviour like 5 times and then being shocked that everyone is mad at him
I love that in Night in the Woods, you don't have a choice but to stick in your foot in your mouth. Yes, you have dialogue options, but it really boils down to "how do you want to fuck this up." We see it really clearly in Bea's storyline at the party when she's flirting with the guy and Mae's only dialogue options are blatant unintentional sabotage of Bea's attempts. It really emphasizes who Mae is as a character through the story, unable to control her thought-to-mouth impulses and chronically unable to read a room. You don't get to be a good friend, you have to experience her struggle and embarrassment and anxiety and regret. It makes the acceptance of her friends all the more touching, and it makes Bea's line about friends-by-proximity all the more heartbreaking.
I just fucking love Night in the Woods, man.
Mae being borderline is something that can be so personal
