  • 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

      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!

      I feel that Odysseus uses all the he has learned on his long journey. There's one version of the story, by Tony Robinson called 'Greatest Hero of them All' and when Odysseus comes home and wins the archery contests and reveals to the suitors who he is, while most panic, one, a distant cousin, makes a contrite apology, and approached Odysseus with his hand out, asking for forgiveness and mercy. (but secretly the suitor has concealed a knife in his other hand and plans to stab Odysseus once he's close enough.
      But Odysseus says 'Ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves."
      Shoots the suitor dead where he stands, and as his hidden blade tinkles to the floor he looks upon the other cowering suitors, notches another arrow to his bow and asks:
      "Any last words?"

    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  5 месяцев назад +13

      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!

    I really like the predator vibes. Advantages means nothing if the equivalent of batman had to fight everything with disadvantaged. He knows the art of war
    And the red in his eyes as he meets his son in a green tunic. He gets snapped out of his bloodlust by the contrast, his battle mentality being stopped

      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!
