Line #9 YMMV/Ulysses31


1	* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic:
2	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-DNJ-chwtk The glorious]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZ4c1X5ene8 opening]], for starters.
3	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-h7Koco4wnU "Attack of the Tridents"]] is used for the space dogfights, and boy are those guitar riffs punchy!
4	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5n42lK11nY "Chase"]] is also pretty punchy.
5	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQaknWwIunc "The Curse of the Gods"]] is downright spine-chilling and perfectly conveys the fact that Ulysses and his crew are powerless against the [[CosmicEntity gods]], or how menacing the enemy of the week is.
6	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3PUlhLaUqA "Tales and Legends"]] is also pretty spine-chilling, and serves to underline how hopeless it can be to defy the gods or suffer their wrath.
7	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vrv3mqEV-iw "Chronos, master of time"]] is as beautiful and ClockPunk-[[TickTockTune appropriate]] as it is [[SoundtrackDissonance dissonant]] in regards to the sinister motivations of Chronos.
8	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MnTXKl_GeBM "Stranger Worlds"]], used when Ulysses explores the unknown (and most of the time, dangerous) worlds the ''Odysseus'' comes across.
9	** The covers of the whole soundtrack by [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoDpQJT1slzlxyV1iLFa8Lw Parallax]] are worth mentioning. They simply made it even more awesome, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFlxAGgPhb4 "Ulysses slaying the Cyclops"]] especially.
10	* GatewaySeries: Along with ''Anime/TheMysteriousCitiesOfGold'', this series helped initiate a whole generation of Western viewers to {{anime}}, a few years before the ''Series/ClubDorothee'' brought a blitz of dubbed anime classics upon France.
11	* HilariousInHindsight:
12	** The French voice of Chronos, the master of time, is the late Creator/PierreHatet, who would dub {{time travel}}ler Doc Emmett Brown (Creator/ChristopherLloyd) in ''Franchise/BackToTheFuture'' a couple years later.
13	*** Now consider Chronos' {{Evil Laugh}}s. Pierre Hatet was also the French voice of ComicBook/TheJoker in the Franchise/DCAnimatedUniverse [[WesternAnimation/TheBatman and a few]] [[VideoGame/BatmanArkhamSeries other]] [[VideoGame/DCUniverseOnline continuities]].
14	*** One more: one of Chronos' powers is RapidAging. Hatet also voiced Mr. DNA in ''Film/JurassicPark'', who goes from cells in a dinosaur egg to a giant dinosaur in the span of a few seconds.
15	** ''Franchise/StarWars'' had a major influence on this series, especially since many of its {{stock sound effects}} are used in it. Évelyne Séléna (the first French voice of super-computer Shyrka) is none other than the French dubbing voice of Leia (Creator/CarrieFisher) in the Original Trilogy.
16	** The series also had ''Franchise/StarTrek'' as one of its most important SpaceOpera influences, so much so that Ulysses would make a perfect Starfleet captain. Creator/ClaudeGiraud (the French voice of Ulysses) later did the French dub of Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Creator/PatrickStewart).
17	* TheWoobie: Virtually every named character who's endlessly tormented by the gods while not really deserving it is this.
