A Review of The Actual Odyssey, Using Assassin's Creed Odyssey, in the Style of The Odyssey

What ad? Oh right, that part I skipped.
please collab with joseph anderson to make an ACTUAL 12 hour version of this
Ok, this is adressed to anyone who heard the first couple minutes of the video with that constant feeling of cringe: You're completely right, so did I! I was very confused at first with what was presented to me, and it probably had more to do with the clash of expectation vs reality, that it did with the material itself... because upon second, third, and every subsecuent replaying, I can't help to grin and giggle like an idiot at the whole play. If you're familiar with some of Super BunnyHop's most popular videos, allow me to quote a part of his "Critical Close-up: Metal Gear Solid 3" video: "Genuine camp is about noticing an honest effort that's technically unskilled or misguided, but it's gotta have a heart of gold underneat all that. It's not as easy to do it deliberately, it's better as a fortunate mistake. You end up appreciating the artist's effort even tho it's technically not very skillfull. -cue the "I did not hit her!" The Room scene. When you laugh at something that's campy you're not really mocking it, you're enjoying it." So maybe give the video a second try, paying attention to all the visual jokes that pair with George's narration, and feel free to throw popcorn or tomatos or what-have-you at the actors. This video is a play, it's goofy on purpose, snarky on several remarks, and it's made entirely to entertain us, the audience, while keeping the journalist style of distributing information about the chosen subject.

I read this in the same manner george presented this video. I can't stop trying to do spoken word!
"The ganner of dalfs" holy cow george, this video was truly amazing.
the Mc prefix in a last name already means "son of", basically called Ian McKellen "Ian son of son of Kellen" lol
This is like nostalgia critic's the wall but good, full of critical analysis, and sounds pleasant to the ear
Didn't quite get your first couple of words in the beginning George, ".... χορηγείται από το κιριόσιτιστρίμ.κομ." ?? And Curiositystream would be better translated as, "Κανάλι περιέργειας" roughly translated to "the channel of curiosity". Quite lovely hearing you attempting to speak my mother tongue.

You know that you're my Noodle Star No one else can take socks this far I'm clicking the vid, get ready for this Oh, let's do the Odyssey.
Not enough repetition verses. How am I meant to memorise this video?
I have never heard the verses recited, but when you started with those old words "Tell me, Oh Muse, ..." it felt immediatly right, and suddenly it became clear why teachers used to care so much for Hexameter and stuff. I got chills, and my jaw basically dropped and never left the floor throughout. Great piece for that alone!
Even though I'm not really into the topic, this was still a really cool video and I can appreciate the effort that this must've taken.
As a fan of your channel who was a history major and loves ancient Greco-Roman culture and mythology, this was a definite treat, George.
I am at a loss for words to describe how good this is, never stop doing what you do George
Look, I understand why people put ad read in the middle of videos, but I don't like it. it's like product placement in movies; it detracts from the art, the story, and when you watch it years later it shows it's age and tackiness, and I feel diminishes it's value.

The placements in Endgame hold it back a lot. Not only instantly dating it but also just being especially inconsiderate of it’s in-universe dilemma. I don’t wanna watch a movie and then get Fortnite ads in the middle of it.
This is why you're my favourite, most reliable, uncompromising KZreadr.
When i started watching this, i was giggling at how goofy it sounded to hear you narrate the whole thing with those cheesy subtitles and poetic voicing... ... By the very end it brought me to tears. Thank you for this research and reminder about our history and fable's origins. (And all the past videos you've made aswell).
The video I didnt know I needed. I love it. Surprises like this is why I love your channel.
The content isn't really much I haven't heard before, but the format is impressive and I really respect the effort.
The ending of the video is just fucking perfect. Great work, George.
Easily my favorite video you've done yet!
As the great homer once thought. "Dental Plan! Lisa need Braces!"
Am a scholar of ancient greek. This was incredible. The meter is really hard to come across, but the way you approached long vowels was nice, if a little odd, in English. Many a True Nerd just came out with a video on the same game. Is this a coincidence?

Super Bunnyhop, this was an accomplishment. Excellent work.
Yet another video George, son of George, provides that I knew not I needed in my life
That intro was hilarious. If there's one thing you're a master of, is to surprise us and almost force us to think in an unconventional way, showing us something interesting by breaking the mold of the mundane, and shock us with oddity and creativity. And all while retaining your own style! Every new video makes me glad I'm subbed to your channel, seriously.
This has to be one of your best videos yet. ♥
This was a damn impressive video Super. Thumbs up for the creativity!
I thought I would appreciate this channel mainly for his journalistic work and reviews. But even though this is obviously not the work of a professional _Homer_ , it has its own charme. Good work!
George even did sponsorship bit creatively. Well done, sir.
This was a truly inspiring video, It would be nice to study the evolution of myths and their modern representations: comics, games and blockbusters.
Oh look at that, Super BunnyHop made a musical episode!
It's chilling how apropos that final Odysseus quote is to my current life situation.
This video is 100% George and I love everything about that

Even in modern Greek, the Iliad and Odyssey are a lot more poetic than in modern English.
All hail Homerus Georgus Super Bunny Hopus. A mere thumbs up fails to evoke the love I felt for him and his grand retelling of this epic saga. Honor shall befall him and all his Kin!
That was awesome. I hope we'll see more of it. Thanks a lot.
George: do I sing or talk? Audable: YES
what a great idea. This was very entertaining!
This feels like a dream I once had
This is glorious. This is KZread elevated. This reminds me of that video Lindybeige did on dagger technique in poetry as well. But this makes so much more thematic sense than that. Just incredible mate
That was really nice. Thank you George
O pity I can only like this video once... You deserve so much more. Thanks George for respecting the intelligence of your vewers.
Good lord. George, where do all this come from? I mean, every now and then you throw a curve ball like this video, and get us all hooked again.
Asscreed Odyssey really is a very good game. Messy and crude in spots, sure (and it desperately needs more ways to quickly correct if your stealth fails), but Ass Odyssey adds precisely the branching plot and dialogue systems this franchise has always needed, and it's just so incredibly sprawling and fun throughout. Even the frame story, mostly with the DLC though, felt relevant and exciting again, for the first time since the first Italy game.
Video-game Journalism has peaked
As soon as i saw the title i knew this was going to be the most George thing George has ever done.
We have reached peak George
amazing stuff. been following you for years and I love how you never fail to find more ways to surprise me.
Above and beyond for what I come to this channel for, and that's already extremely lofty. Extremely well done.
I'm a simple man. I don't see noodles, I dislike, unsubscribe, and leave an angry comment for Daddy George.
I recommend using a one-time credit card if you want to test out Curiosity Stream or they WILL scam you out of the first payment. There is no obvious way to cancel the trial, there is no way to remove or even change your credit card info and the cancel subscription option does not appear until after the first payment has been made. Just a heads up.
Long time watcher, first time commenter; I really appreciate you expressing your creative ideas and your desire to approach your work with an originality most wouldn't risk. I did enjoy this video, however it wasn't quite for me, though I did watched to the end out of an appreciation for your art. I hope that you keep being creative and inspired and always find interest in your work, and never forget to make content for yourself instead of the machine. You go, dude. I'll support your creativity over any self-percieved stagnation any day.
9:32 eh that’s still a very contentious debate in classical historical studies. There are still many scholars who believe Homer was one person and the evidence is within the stylistic unity of the texts in question. I’ve had teachers who are On both sides of the fence (my major in uni was history/literature and my minor was classics). Both sides have compelling arguments and the juries still out as to who was likely right.
I usually hate sponsored ads in the middle of a video but the rhymes were so on point that i didn't mind. Keep doing a great job Georgie boy. 👍
*MediEvil 1* is coming out next month. Could you do *'Original vs. Resurrection vs. Remake'* , please?
I too enjoy quoting Hobbes, though admittedly more often when concerning the habits of tigers.
Really loved this George, keep up the great work
Wow, this was incredible. Well done.
That was an unusual video, thank you for trying new things, good job!
I must admit, I didn't really understand what he was talking about, but I really enjoyed this video
This is really surreal, I took Prof Travis' course on classical mythology over the summer and read the Odyssey for that class.
This is masterful Georgie. Thank you from the bottom of my hearts.
So...the golden fleece was really George Socks all along?
After watching this video, I kinda wish the sing-a-long subtitles were a standard for TV shows, movies, and games. I was able to follow along with what was being said much easier than just having standard captions, since the font color changed based on what words were said.
My favourite part of The Odyssey is where Odysseus fights a bum for a pie.
Absolutley awsome! You've outdone yourself this time, George!
Wow, you inspired me to start a channel talking about videogames and in the end it has turned more into literature and poetry. And now you do one with poetry and literature. The circle has closed!
Beautiful George, well done
I totally respect somebody who is willing to experiment. Well done sir, well done.
