Dave 5,715 Posted September 9, 2012 Directly quoting from www.dictionary.com ep·ic <a onmousedown="spk(this,{lk:'nx1fkx',en:'wotdau',io:'0',b:'wotd',tp:'lrl',m:'wotdau'})" href="#"></a><a target="_blank" href="http://dictionary.reference.com/audio.html/lunaWAV/E02/E0235500"><img border="0" src="http://static.sfdict.com/dictstatic/g/d/speaker.gif"></a> /ˈɛpɪk/ Show Spelled[ep-ik] Show IPA adjective Also, ep·i·cal. 1. noting or pertaining to a long poetic composition, usually centered upon a hero, in which a series of great achievements or events is narrated in elevated style: Homer's Iliad is an epic poem. 2. resembling or suggesting such poetry: an epic novel on the founding of the country. 3. heroic; majestic; impressively great: the epic events of the war. 4. of unusually great size or extent: a crime wave of epic proportions. noun 5. an epic poem. 6. epic poetry. 7. any composition resembling an epic. 8. something worthy to form the subject of an epic: The defense of the Alamo is an American epic. 9. ( initial capital letter ) Also called Old Ionic. the Greek dialect represented in the Iliad and the Odyssey, apparently Aeolic modified by Ionic. I bring this up because no word, aside perhaps from "literally," has been bastardized so badly by the internet as "epic" has. People whip it out like it's five cent candy, without really knowing what it means in relation to their sentence. For instance, if someone were to say "Kingdom Hearts is epic," they would be correct. Kingdom Hearts is a very long story spanning a great period of time, with many impressive and heroic acts within it. However, if someone were to say that a trailer for Kingdom Hearts is epic, they would be completely wrong. The trailer is likely not longer than five minutes, and if there are any pictures of majestic and heroic acts within it, it is only fleeting and without the proper context of storytelling. Remember: Epic =/= Cool. 1 AnHeiressofaSOLDIER reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

khoathkeeper13 429 Posted September 9, 2012 3. heroic; majestic; impressively great: the epic events of the war. I think that's the part of the definition that's epically overused /shot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hatok 6,413 Posted September 10, 2012 Considering many KH trailers are ten minutes long, relative to pretty much any other trailer... they ARE epic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
