Yes, エポックメイキング is probably not quite aligned with the English source, and "pivotal" is probably a good gloss.

「●●【編注:編集部にて伏字】って奴がいて。こいつはかなりエポック・メーキングな男で、転向してきたんですよ、小学校二年生ぐらいの時に。それはもう、
学校中に衝撃が走って(笑)。だって、転校してきて自己紹介とかするじゃないですか、もういきなり(言語障害っぽい口調で)『●●です』とか言ってさ、『う
わ、すごい!』ってなるじゃないですか」

The context where I saw this (should have posted it, sorry) was the now infamous 1995 interview with Cornelius (Keigo Oyamada) 
about bullying, see above. I thought Oyamada's use of "epoch-making" signified the word can be used in a quite different way from 
how it's used in Englishand I read it as just meaning "extraordinary." Looking at it now, I guess it could be read more literally, 
that there was a "before ●● and after ●●"?

Do we need a second gloss here? "epoch-making" and "extraordinary" are not synonyms. I don't think "epoch-making" has a synonym.
