1 : a long narrative poem in elevated style recounting the deeds of a legendary or historical hero "the Iliad and the Odyssey are epics"
2 : a work of art (as a novel or drama) that resembles or suggests an epic
3 : a series of events or body of legend or tradition thought to form the proper subject of an epic "the winning of the West was a great American epic"
name me one video following that definition of epic.
Still waiting. :)

Seriously.
The semantics of the word "epic" have long evolved since the 18th century :? . Language is a living organism which is why it changes so often. Epic today and epic in the Middle Ages is sth completely different, just like "nice" (did you know it meant a fool first? :lol:) In metal music, an epic song is a long 8-10 minute story usually taken from good literature. I believe this is what people think when they refer to videos as epic. A long and superb editing achievement which doesn't bore you despite its length and always has something new to show in order to keep your attention. :|

Please tell me you read some of the sarcastic posts that completely flew off your head! :?
Of course. I meant that people are posting up AMVs that they think are Epic and that's what it's all about.
I can claim the title as being the first person on a-m-v.org to submit an AMV with the artist KJ-52 on it. Yay. Hahaha.
Where my jello? I need it to go with my Cola, Rice, Puddin, Steak, macoroni, apple, peanut butter, plastic, baking soda, and cheese sandwhich!

1 out of 10 editors in this thread are being serious. the other 9 are vaugely either making fun of the thread or supporting inside jokes of their own.

Don't shoot the messenger.
