  • TW: Blood and Violence
    This is my 3rd Epic the Musical Animatic. Originally titled "King", it has recently been renamed by ‪@JayHerrans‬ as "Odysseus" and currently stands as the 38th song of Epic the Musical.
    After spoiling myself with future songs of the show, this one really stood out to me so I thought I'd take a stab at it....pun intended. There's a considerable amount of violence in this animatic, though I honestly did my best to hold back. My hubby and I plotted the scenes and believe me when I say I had to shoot down a lot of his ideas because they were too much LOL
    --------- ENDING SPOILER DISCUSSION -------------
    In regards to the ending, it is based solely on a theory I have of how the show will go down and is in no way confirmed to happen. But I thought it would be pretty cool if [redacted] actually witnesses Ody's murder spree. Adds a bit more drama in my opinion. Plus it's a call back to a line in [redacted]'s song.
    Added clarification:
    Oh, and the guy who opened the weapon room is Amphinomus, one of the named suitors (not Antinous).

    I love how the "where is he?" Is exactly what is said in man of the house (which is quite ironic considering these men were trying to kill him in HIS house. He is the MAN of the house which also could correlate to the line 'when does a man become a monster'. Changing him from the man of the house to the MONSTER of the house.)

    I hope Ares got the bloodshed he wanted, Athena did not lie. It's really cool how odysseous essentially became the cyclop's killing the intruders mercylessly. After dealing gods, witches, and giants against which he could do little, he finally was able to show off his power and slaughter all of em. It's really animated, as usual, and I liked the scene at the end with telemachus, I don't think another animatic has done that part yet. Good job!

    • @ns2dstudios
      @ns2dstudios  Před 2 měsíci +22

      Thank you! And yes, Ares wanted bloodshed, so I let the blood flow on this one. And you're right, he became ruthless like the Cyclops. And I could be wrong, but as of this writing, this is the longest (king) Odysseus animatic out there and the only one so far to include Telemachus. Thanks again for watching and for the support!

    The fact that Telemachus is the only one who have colour-and no ordinary color, green colour! (opposite/complementary to red)
    Not only does the movement of the characters felt so alive, or the fact the situation you put made so much sense here. But also the amount of detail and use of colour as lightning and highlight of the Story as a way of storytelling!? Incredible!

    • @ns2dstudios
      @ns2dstudios  Před 2 měsíci

      Thank you! Although it was mostly coincidence. Telemachus's color has been decided before I made this animatic, since I gave Ody blue, Penelope yellow, and combined, they make green (Telemachus). I like to think of it as Telemachus in green represents life amongst a sea of death (blood red). And thank you for your observations! You're the first one to point out the use of lighting and color combined so I really appreciate it that you noticed!

      @@ns2dstudios Oo!! I didn’t know they definitely gonna watch it
      Edit: I did find a background only video as the prophet does end up screaming at Oddy for being dumb af. I can definitely hear the back vocals/ the souls of the dead saying things idk if it’s his name or if it’s just mindless chatter to fill the space. But knowing how Jorge writes his music it may just be them saying odessous over and over again.
      Possible theory: it could be the danger motif foreshadowing his rampage through his own castle killing suitors who wanted his son dead and his wife’s hand. That the prophet was correct and that oddy will change into a monster (spoiler: he does in the og sorce material he brutally kills with no remorse, Homer you sick bastered) or it’s the souls of his crew calling or to him to try and reclaim what they lost, their captain, their mission, their homes, their hope, their humanity and so they’re trying to bring him to them to reclaim it, or punish him for surviving and they didn’t.
      Could be both but it’s very cool to hear it and understand everything going on in this play.

      Yeah, because it’s a boss battle for the suitors against Odysseus, and the bosses name is sung when they are introduced as a boss. For another example, look at the beginning of “Ruthlessness” Poseidon is sung seven times by the Canadians (go read Sea of Monsters by Rick Riordan if you don’t get the reference) before Odysseus comes in with another Poseidon.

      After several repeats of making the animatic, I definitely heard "ODY-SSEUS" being chanted. He's become the monster to save the ones he loves most. After all, ruthlessness is mercy upon himself (and his loved ones).

It was the first time it clicked the song mirrors directly Odysseus' fight with Polyphemus all those years before, but this time he is the one attacking (it should be obvious with the chorus, but the colors and the pitch black is what made it actually click in my head)

  • @idontevenknow5486
    @idontevenknow5486 Před 2 měsíci +66

    Okay, I'm overanalyzing the inclusion of the Legendary lyrics and you can not stop me
    You could have put any lyrics there, with any arrangement, but these lyrics were the ones you chose:
    If I fight those MONSTERS......is it YOU I'll find?
    You did that on purpose Gwendy, I know you did.
    Lets look at these lyrics first:
    The original point of these lines in Legendary is to show Telemachus' admiration of his father. He's asking "If I do what they say you did, will I end up like you?" Or maybe "if I'm like you, will I be Legendary too?"
    The line is different here. For starters, the way the line is formatted is noteworthy
    The word "monsters" and "you" are capitalized, showing emphasis.
    Paired with the visuals, the music, and the context, we get an entirely different meaning.
    Telemachus isn't asking "Will I be Legendary too?" Anymore, he's asking "If I fight all those monsters, will I end up facing you?"
    In other words: "are you a monster?"
    There's a bit more of a hidden meaning aswell. The purpose of the line is for Telemachus to wish to be like his father, fight the beasts he fought.
    If Telemachus wants to fight the beasts his father fought, and if Monster is anything to go off of, he will inevitably end up facing his father.
    His fathers internal struggle with becoming the monster means that, for Telemachus to follow in Odysseus's footsteps, he must face a similar fight. Be it his own internal struggle, or a fight against the monster that his father has become.
    I see you Gwendy and I enjoy your hidden meanings

    • @ns2dstudios
      @ns2dstudios  Před 2 měsíci +11

      I really love your analysis because not only is it well thought of, it's actually spot on. The choice of lyrics from Legendary was deliberate on my part. It's a call back to MONSTER where Odysseus has decided to truly become the monster to save the ones he loves. But also a call back to Legendary, "If I fight those MONSTERS, is it YOU I'll find?" And well...Telemachus DID fight monsters: the suitors. Only to find that his father, the hero of his mother's stories, was also a monster. And since he's always wanted to be like his father.....will he also become a monster? So much food for thought! And while I'm not confident Jay is headed in this direction for Epic, it's definitely something that's thematically sound. Thanks again for watching and commenting!

      Thank you! I will revisit this once the full song is released with remasters, edits and of course, an extension :) And that's not Antinous. It's Amphinomus, one of the named suitors who was actually a decent guy. In the myths, he objected twice to killing Telemachus and Odysseus tried to give him a chance to leave but he decided to stay and unfortunately died along with the other suitors.

      It always brings me so much joy whenever people catch that 15 second mark and see Odysseus. Hubby and I planned this animatic together and knew we wanted to go for the (slasher) horror vibe. He was the one who suggested having that suitor dragged away. And yes, that's Telemachus :D I don't know if this is how it'll happen in the actual song, as this is only based on snippets that were released and not the full song.
