    I think this meant he was fighting his innerself, his greed.

    • @Volstiv
      @Volstiv 5 лет назад +26

      I believe the mirror brings to life one's TRUE inner self, in that singular moment mind you. His true self at that moment being brought to life his own Avarice. And I say "at that singular moment," 'cause he was able to be more than that moment afterwards. Granted...it certainly ain't dead, and should any other hero open that box, they unless one of the strongest, if not THE strongest beings upon the land.
      From what I've gathered from the other videos, at least.

      Greed was his vice, but if you watch the rest of the episodes... He was possessed by a demon of greed, and was specifically lead there to kill those gods. No mention of how long he was possessed, but the girl nearly broke its hold.

      Thank you x) I remember when we animated that scene - we just wanted it to be as epic as possible. It is actually two of our kickstarter backers we designed who sit on the bench. Check out the other episodes we did on the Tales of Alethrion channel. High Fives!

    Trees
    I think that I shall never see
    A poem lovely as a tree.
    A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
    Against the earth's sweet flowing breast;
    A tree that looks at GOD all day,
    And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
    A tree that may in Summer wear
    A nest of robins in her hair;
    Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
    Who intimately lives with rain.
    Poems are made by fools like me,
    But only GOD can make a tree.

    Sorry maybe I'm misunderstanding something, why does the title begin with "CGI 3D Animated Short"? It's just a 2D animated short film. Also, this channel gets full permission from the films' creators before publishing right? I see they give all the credit in the description which is nice, but I still want to make sure that they don't get paid from someone else's work without full permission. Love the Tales of Alethrion series! And thanks for anyone's help.

      @@nobody7817 The animators Mikkel Mainz & Kenneth Ladekjer have the channel called "Tales of Alethrion." If you look through the CGBros channel most shorts are actually from different animators. Also with a quick google search I don't see who the actual CGBros are, but Mainz and Ladekjer don't come up anywhere, so if you are saying that CGBros is also their channel I'm pretty confident that isn't right. But I do see the replies from "Tales of Alethrion" in the comments now though, thank you for pointing that out. That makes it obvious to me that the publishing is permitted.
