80% of Greek mythology is either Zeus wanting every female he can find to be his wife or the gods being extremely petty
Least it wasn't Zeus this time...
True true
Supposedly a god raped her or sum, and then the god of Mercy, thought that Medusa seduced him, so she turned her into the monster. Idk I kinda forgot
Greek mythology was based on the daily struggles of the Greeks, the tale of Medusa was made to warn women that if they were ever raped or abused they were likely to be the victims of retribution instead of the perpetrators, it like the tale of red riding hood, red riding hood is a tale to warn women that if they went to the woods by themselves then a “wolf” may appear, meaning a man, the tales of mythology are all just horror tales
Except for hades that nigga cool

You know The Land Of Stories?
No. This isn’t fair. I actually cried and felt legitimately heart broken, this is AMAZING work. Words cannot describe how amazing it is!!
SAME
I Probably Flooded My House With Tears 🥺🥺
And how many were tears when baby deer died🥺😭
this is the most human version of Medusa i've even seen, in this story she not is a monster, instead is a victim of unjust circunstances, and the loneliness, but is enough strong to live a life by herself, is very tough but is a necessary to survive, although enduring a painful existence, her relationship with her snakes is like with different persons or a family being more precise, despite those beings are part of her, really is a very beautiful story but also a very sad one , this is a unforgettable tale of the humanity within the ones are look different on the outside.
If Maleficent can get a movie that portrays her in a compassionate light i see no problem why Medusa can't have one.
Medusa really deserves one, she’s a victim in most versions of the legend. I just wish it would be historically accurate, because there are too many people who don’t know her origins and only see her as a monster
Cause they busy milking Frozen rn
@@persononyoutube8666 medusa's story is actually really sad she was asking for protection against another god who wanted her and was raped in the temple of the goddess whose protection she sought. Angry about rhe defilement of her temple the goddess cursed medusa with the snakes for hair and the ability to turn others to stone. She had reason to turn evil i dont blame her.
YASSS EXACTLY!!!!
@@persononyoutube8666 ??? and also I'm going to guess at least 75% of all the people here know at least one of the versions of the myth
Man... Most of the problems in Greek mythology started out with the gods being nasty.
They re animal
@@asiminapit8007 lol,, "real" animal huh
Most of the things in greek mythology wouldn't have happened if the gods (especially zeus) weren't horny
@@Isa-nu6do lol lol lol
In some way.. Athena gave her power and tools to help Medusa protect herself so she will never get hurt by any man.
Did this make anybody else cry? Because now I can't stop - that was the saddest and most beautiful animatic ever.
It certainly did to me years ago
I love this re-invention of Medusa's story... It's so sensitive and gives it a more personal aspect.
I really wish I had your artistic talent! Thank you for sharing it with us!
I had a sudden feelings that the hooded snake was the soul of the mother- she got turned into stone but still wanted to look after Medusa. So she turned into one of the snakes to keep her company. Also explains why the snake is hooded and actually shows emotion unlike the other snakes.
yes
Cool theory tho
Hooded snakes are called cobras.
That's why the other snakes attacked the mother and son . .
Spoilers for the second part:
This was confirmed when they reunite with eachother, as we can see the same person as the hooded women at the start of this story.
The fact that Medusa's mother still kept smiling looking at her baby even though she knew that she could be turned into stone touched me the most ❤❤❤
THAT IS MOTHER'S LOVE.
YES
That was beutifull and sad
You have the worst comme-
Oh wait... sorry.
No
But I’m think NO
The fact that the real Medusa story is about a curse given by one of the Gods that can help a lady protect herself and this is about a gorgon girl with her snake hair protecting her...
Both stories are beautiful
its either athena cursing or she was born liek that
thats the roman story medusa was born a gorgon :) she is a guardian!
also the other story, about a god giving her powers to protect herself wasn't a thing, in the roman version she was cursed by Athena to be ugly bc medusa was SA in the temple of Athena by Poseidon and Athena was offended, even tho medusa was praying for protection and forgiveness, the roman versions of the greek myths where made dramatically because aparently a greek-turned-roman writer hated the greeks and the mythology lol so he makes fun of it like Hercules, but his real actual name is Heracles
The mith Of medusa in greek mithology is nota beautiful Athena hates her cause of her Beauty, she had a friend who loves her and she loved him as well but she rejected him for her devotion to Athena and he undertend, later poisedon abuse Of her in Athena temple to take revenge for the fact than the athenas city was nota given to him, and Athena angry for the act than happen in her temple curse her with the snakes and evereyone who SEE her Will be stone the first one was her friend who loved when he found her
@@MarcPlayYatagarasuUm... no. Like, not at all.
In the original Greek version, Medusa is born a monster; then there is another where she is human and then becomes a Gorgon, but the relationship with Poseidon is absolutely consensual; the version that everyone takes as good and like the original one (when it isn't even remotely so) was written by Ovid during the period of the Roman Empire.
I just stumbled onto this and struggle to believe this isn't the work of a well known and highly regarded animation company or something. The level of talent and emotion here is absolutely insane! Please promise you'll work for a professional company one day and get full respect for what you do as there is enormous potential, and paired with the beautiful music, this had me almost crying. It can speak to anyone who has been bullied or abused, or maybe regrets those who have been. I like as well that the people attacking Medusa genuinely don't understand her and she is surprised at how people view her as a monster. Keep up the wonderful work! :)
Someone just give her sunglasses then a hug Jesus Christ
Would colored contacts work?
Sun glasses didn't exist back then
@@Nick-pi8vz WE'LL MAKE THEM EXIST
the snakes would also need some kind of therapy since they seem aggressive but i honestly would take the danter and just hug this smol baby medusa qwq
Don't quote me but I'm pretty sure that in the original myth Medusa's curse was that any who looked on HER would turn to stone, not who SHE looks at, but then again I might be wrong.
sometimes the "hero" never thinks about the "villains" point of view...
Sometimes...? Most of the times, in fact. They only do think about, what bring them to the "dark side", if they personally know each other before, and they were at a neutral/friendly relationship with each other - otherwise they come to a decision, that it is a villain, which deserve to be destroyed, either by other's tales or if they know it, but wasn't in good terms, they say to themselves that 'I already know it was a bad person, when we first met!"
The so called 'heroes' far too much degree doesn't know the meaning of "objective viewpoint".
Sisi ni sawa
Look at poison ivy misunderstood completely
Dan 14k Athena is a jerk she made a blunder punishing someone for someone else's mistake is not wise Poseidon should have been the one punished not Medusa she was innocent she was raped by Poseidon Athena's no goddess of wisdom she's an idiot she should have gotten the facts first before she even punished anybody if she's the goddess of anything's it's stupidness she's lucky I didn't live in her time. I would have shut down her temples and destroyed her statues all the Greek / Roman gods and goddesses were experts in stupidness the truth is they were just powerless works of art they had real no power they were just images nothing more just like all the other ancient and modern cultures with gods and goddesses beautiful works of art nothing more and I mean no offense any Hindus out there if anyone wants to believe that those beautiful artworks have power that's their choice but I know for a fact in my heart that they're just beautiful images of artwork nothing more oh and by the way the so-called hero that killed Medusa is nothing more than a murderer I don't blame her for hating people after what they did to her
A lot of classical heroes ARE villains by today's standards.
Animation studios need to step up their game, they can't just have people on RUclips step up their story ideas over and over again. I'd pay good money to see this as a movie or show
there's Fortiche they might make a animated show of medusa for kids and adults alike to watch together.
I see comments like this a lot on animations like this and he there’re your coming from but I disagree. I think that the way this story is shown might be difficult to flesh out, even as a short one. This short re-telling of the myth is really raw and I thinks that’s perfect.
medusa is one of my favorite characters in mythology. the story made me cry so much.
When we were young,
we were told the stories of how Good defeats Evil,
how Evil shall suffer,
how Medusa got the curse by the great God Athena,
how she did wrong and killed,
how Hades kidnapped Persephone for his own will,
how Arachne deserved what she got.
This used to be our main lesson in every story......
But what if the only difference was who was telling it?
You may be the Hero to everyone, but there will always be at least one person who thinks of you as a villain.
This story seems to follow the older and less popular version of Medusa’s backstory, she and the other gorgans were born as gorgans from a titan. Someone got mad at Athens and said Athena caused a woman to become a monster.
I mean... Wasn't Hades just lonely? Also his and Persephone's relationship is literally the healthiest out of all the Greek Gods, no?
Don't blame Hades. Blame Eros and Aphrodite.
@@DraidensDen That's probably only because Ero casted a spell on Hades and Hades gave Persephone a pomegranate.
Poor girl..
She's just different. With a gift she couldn't control.
This hit me very deeply as I felt bad for her.
Yeah. She provokes death everywhere she goes.
And I'm feel deeply sad for her innocents victims whose never ask anything too.
A poisonous gift, an uncontrollable power, a path of misery.
no, medusa served on the side of Athena, (one of the virgin gods) so medusa promised to be a virgin forever, all the gods adored her and loved medusa because she was so beautiful. medusa ignored them until Poseidon showed feelings, medusa loved Poseidon as well, so they had an affair, when Athena found out she was enraged. she then cursed Athena by turning her hair into serphants and gave her a face so hideous that anyone to look her in the eyes would turn to stone. Yes, it was a little unfair. But it was also her fault, the video isn't accurate- probably just a little "what if" situation
@@mostpro4745 I guess that's another version of the story, but what I heard is the one where Medusa was raped, idk
Up to each since this is a legend. They can alter overtime.
Agreed
It’s so sad😢😭
Coming back to this after watching the new installment is a cool experience since you get to connect some of the dots and foreshadowing. Your art is one of the best non verbal pieces I’ve ever seen. Loved this when it came out and love it now.
I love this so much I CRIED!! This is so amazing and pulls at the heart in so many good ways. I love hearing a different side to it. All I thought was that she was greedy when I read about her but seeing this side of it is so different and unique. Makes me want to look at things in different perspectives.
“Bad people came from good people who had been hurt so much”

I watched this one story years ago, and it was about how sad and lonely Medusa was because everyone who saw her turned to stone or tried to kill her, but one day she found a blind baby in a village and she raised it as her daughter
Awww that’s cute
I saw that one as well.
@@claudiuskeat8336 do you know what it’s called
Yo igual leí esa historia... Pero la bebé también era gorgona como Medusa
Isso mostra o outro lado de uma história. As vezes nossos heróis acabam não sendo tão diferentes quanto o vilão, mas nem eles sabem disso.
I have no idea why this was recommended to me but DANGIT the algorithm finally did something right. This was frickin gorgeous. The art was beautiful. The snake mom was adorable. Thank you, thank you, thank you so much for making it.
Who else started balling their eyes out when the mother deer comes over to find her baby turned to stone?
That was a buck not a doe. So probably a father deer rather than a mother.
That was a buck, a male deer, females don't have antlers, and it was his mate, the female, who was turned to stone.
Reverse bambi
Absolutely me
Yes😭
Medusa is one of my favorite characters in Mythology, and my family asks me ”why, like she was a monster who killed people” She never wanted to, the gods were unfair to her, and she didn't know how to control her power. It's not her fault that she's this way. So many people attacked her for the way she looked cause they saw her as a threat, but in all, they were the threat to her. They didn't like how she looked nor did they understand her. If only they had seen that she wasn't any harm to people, then perhaps her fate could have turned out differently. I'm so sorry this was long.
:0 ur pfp is MIDORIYA
I see in cooments everytime same name and profile
Originally the story goes that she was a beautiful nimf and got raped by poseidon in the tempel of athena
Athena got angry/jealous and cursed medusa when she realised that she made a dangerous monster of medusa she send people to kill her.
To be honest I think medusa is the good guy and athena and Poseidon the villians
@@femkelamberts9167 i agree
@@femkelamberts9167 Not only was she raped in Minerva's temple, she was actually her servant which was another reason why the goddess took so much offense. The fact that, in Greek and Roman myth so many beautiful women were raped by gods then punished by goddesses is a pity and a sin. It's unfortunate too how much those stories mirror today's rape culture.
this is such a beautiful story, it made me cry. thank you so much, now I look at medusa from a different perspective
Man, this version is so good! I love the videos!
Did anyone else think that the snake that was killed was the mother reborn? I mean in the beginning you saw how the snake look at the statue of the mother! Also really good!
Edit: Most likes ever I’m happy thanks!
regarding her mother i think its more along the lines that the head snake was aware of its capabilities and felt bad
No.
Yeah i think the mother became that leader snake head
OMG yes you are totally right
Nao
Just like any other snake, she was just as scared as they were of her. It's still sad that she lost one her snakes.

@@user-fg6fz8qs8u it was always an accident because of the curse in her eyes that petrified anyone who look back . But the curse has no effect on the man she love.
Changed my whole perspective about medusa this need to be a movie
you know the real story is very diffrent and if they make a movie about medusa they will make it with the real story
Yes Medusa should have her own movie

I feel like the snakes are her family they care protect and love the little girl the cobera is like her dad/mom figer

man, a lot of greek mythology wouldn't exist if the gods weren't petty
you mean all of greek mythology that doesn't involve Zeus wanting to put his d**k in someone
80% of Greek mythology is either Zeus wanting every female he can find to be his wife or the gods being extremely petty
Ya it's kinda sad when you think about it like that
well , ur right.
Imagine if Medusa had like a blind lover that would be so cute
Look up, the blind woman who fell in love with Medusa 🥰
In the later drawings she gets a boy who becomes blind due to the war

It's been 2 years yet I never found this masterpiece until now
This is actually really sad they tried to kill her over things she couldn't control she was a baby for crying out loud.
That's how people are in this world they judge others on how they look not on the heart people in this world don't see each other for who we really are children of our heavenly father every single one of us if only we could put aside our differences the world would be a better place than it is now

I have been waiting for a long time.😭😭😭.Thank you for creating such a masterpiece.
I have always admired Medusa and it's always hurts how many people see her as a bad person without or even knowing her background story.
To be fair thats same by modern views of alot of greek myths like hades if u only read modern retellings of his marriage u will hate h8m but if look at later stories u find a neutural god who treated his wife better than any other god ever treated theirs and was loved back by her its ironic we side with demeter when its outright stated even in the most pro demeter versions that demeter imtentionaly kills humans in winter its not her being sad its her taking humanity hostage and turned perephonies maids into monsters for not fighting a literal god
While stories show persephonie kill anyone who even has a crush on hades
tohen we got beings like arachne and medusa
Ive always symapthized deeply with Medusa, she did not deserve what happened to her. It saddens me a little every time i see a bad depiction of medusa in media.
Everyone: *Turns to stone*

Gosh, this is about to make me cry. I almost felt tears, literally. This is beautiful.
the snake comforting her makes me wanna cry
Medusa's story can be seen as the prejudice that still exists with snakes that they are demonic creatures, without love and feelings. They are just misunderstood beings. And many other stories are like Medusa's, injustices they don't want us to know about.
Same
X2 :c
same!
Actually, from what I know according to Greek Mythology, Medusa wasn’t born this way. If I remember correctly, the reason she ended up like she did was due to a huge misunderstanding on the gods’ parts. When Medusa was still a normal woman, she had wanted to become a priestess of the goddess Athena, the Greek god of strategic war - and she did. She went on to become one of the most dutiful priestesses to Athena there was. However, she had also grown to become exceptionally beautiful. Athena soon grew angry, because men had started visiting her temple to hear Medusa preach, not for their love of Athena but to be an audience to her beauty and exceptional voice. However, what was the straw that broke the camel’s back was when Poseidon had too grown an interest in the young woman - but for more... personal, reasons.
Now you see, Athena was one of the Greek goddesses who had sworn off men, which meant they never were married nor ever procreated with them. In order to become a priestess of Athena, you had to follow the goddess’s example and also swear off men, which Medusa did. I’m not sure about before she became a priestess, but I know that she never mingled with any man during her time of being a priestess. Poseidon, however, messed all of that up though. He had also become mesmerized by the Medusa’s beauty, and like Greek gods often did, he ascended the earth to, uh, “have some fun” with Medusa.
However, as I mentioned, Medusa was loyal to her Goddess, and ran away from Poseidon when he approached her. In fact, I think she even threw a clay pot at him. A hot pursuit entailed, and I believe Poseidon cornered her into Athena’s temple, where Medusa often preached. There, he had his way with her.
This was obviously a huge insult to Athena, as not only did one of priestesses break their oath (to stay away from men), but they broke it *within her own temple*. She was outraged, and unleashed her anger upon poor Medusa - turning her into a monster (I think she was mad at Poseidon too - and that this became one of the versions reasons she hated Poseidon in the myths - but she couldn’t take it out on him as he was a god. Not sure tho.).
So, Medusa became the beast she was - snakes for hair, with the curse of turning people into stone should they look her in the eye, blah blah blah. People hated her, and she ran away. (Things after this become a bit murky, sorry if they’re incorrect-) She found a ruined building, where she made her hideout. Many went there to try and kill her, but never succeeded. One day, exploring the grounds of the ruined building, she came across the head of a statue - the head of Athena. The ruined building was one of Athena’s temples, broken down and forgotten. Medusa transformed the place, caring for it like she did the old temple she worked at, worshipping Athena regularly. Athen saw this, and realized her mistake, and saw Medusa for the honest worshipper she was. Even after what she had made Medusa, the girl continued to worship her.
Although, Medusa didn’t live forever. One fateful day, Perseus (a son of Poseidon, I think) came with an army and killed her brutally. To honor the death of the loyal priestess, Athena immortalized Medusa and her story upon her own shield - Medusa’s head being the centerpiece. The whole story is why Medusa is honestly one of the most interesting characters in the mythology there is.
Sorry it came out so long hskdj
This is meant to be more of a "What if that story everyone knows of Medusa was a lie, and Perseus was no hero, just some jackass who tried to kill a scared little girl who couldn't control her powers", I believe. I've never heard the version where Athena realized her mistake, that's actually really cool!
No sé mucho inglés pero al menos entendí la parte en que dices que Madusa realmente no nació así y pues me alegra saber encontrar a alguien de cultura aquí uwu
Очень крутая версия :0
Actually, Medusa was born a Gorgon alongside her Gorgon sisters according to the Theogony (basically the greek creation myth). She was the only one of her sisters born mortal but she was born as a woman with snake locks. Later renditions, notably the Roman writer Ovid, would paint her as a tragic victim
@@brelonwy Actually Theres no Cannon or correct Story of medusa Greek Mythology

Theres one thing that MANY people misinterpret in the story of Medusa:
Athena did not curse Medusa because she blamed her for being a rape victim; the curse was to protect her, that way no one could ever hurt her again.
Athena is the Goddess of war and wisdom. She knew the only way to protect a woman so beautiful, was to make her a weapon so that no one COULD touch her.
Never quite thought of it that way
hmm that’s one way to put it
vurette Depends in which version you read. Some explicitly say Athena cursed her out of anger for having sex in her temple, punishing her beauty with extreme hideousness. And as the Greek gods aren't exactly known for their good nature, it is just more commonly accepted that Athena was being a careless bitch about the situation. Of course, that's not every version and it can be interpreted the way you said. Still, even if she was doing it to protect Medusa, she still punished her with a life of solitude. Yet another blunder for the Greek gods.
You can’t really say for sure, most likely many different versions exist. But from what I have read, and learned from classes, the main repeated story is one where Medusa was found doing stuff in Athena’s temple. This was seen as extreme disrespect and was greatly punished. So it’s not really misinterpreted exactly, it’s just different versions of the myth.
The real story is that Athena cursed Medusa sense she was in love with Poseidon. One day a man named perseus wanted to kill Medusa for no reason and decided to seek advice from Athena. Athena decided to tell perseus how to kill Medusa. Perseus chopped off Medusa's head and out came pegasus the horse. If Athena tried to protect Medusa,then why would she tell him how to kill Medusa so Athena was jealous.
I just stumbled onto your medusa stories and to be honest, the sensitive and delicate nature of your art and storytelling along with the music made me cry. have you ever seen the anime robot carnival? your sensitive style reminded me of 2 of the short stories presented there. "cloud" and" presence". there both on RUclips. I recommend that anyone who liked your story check those 2 out. good luck with your future work. if this is just the beginning than I think that you have a promising future as an artist.
This is an amazing job. Epic music, beautiful illustration and very nice edition.

3 years have passed, and I still watch this masterpiece.
Medusa was just a scared and innocent girl who was cursed but didn’t know how to protect herself
Annie Z the only reason people died was because they gave the snakes a reason to fear hoomans
Annie Z I don’t think that was the lore in Greek mythology
In the original mith she was a beautiful woman and Posidon fell in love with her and wanted her for himself alone. She tried to hide in Athena's temple, and the goddess (for some weird reason) turned this woman into a monster that we know.
@@alekslic3385 Because Athena can't punish Poseidon because he's a more powerful god so she punished the mortal plus her sisters making the gorgons. Also, mortals are just easier to mess with and every other deity has done it throughout mythology.

This actually made me cry especially when momma snake was killed ;-;
Same 😭 I was in full tears
@Sydney Kearsley it seemed fitting to me
1tantomile but real medusa's snakes grew back.
@LyingLeira same dude..same...
ILL EAT MOMMA SNAKE >:D
This made me cry. Poor Medusa. She didn't ask for that curse. I think the saddest part about this is that she was a little girl. She had no idea how to control it. That was so sad.
Medusa rad sex with poseidon and get cursed by atena :/ so..... She
Ask for that curse
@@Din021 nooo she was raped, she ran to athenas temples to seek for help but was ignored, Medusa was raped by that damn god and was cursed by athena afterwards.
@@kayematildeposo2141 That's true! She was one of Athena's soon to be priestess, so she was giving her soul and body to the service of her goddess. She was a very beautiful girl, soo beautiful that many men tried to lure her into marriage, she refused, but Poseidon was lustful of her, soo he tried to have her, but when she refused, was later raped by him in one of Athena's temples. When the goddess found out, she blamed ot on Medusa for being beautiful, therefore, she took away what people loved the most about her, her hair and eyes, and made her look horrible, with a demarcated face, soo that no one will no longer lust or desire her. She was punished for for being a woman with no power to defend herself against a god. She was punished for being raped in a temple and was punished for being beautiful. No one could be near her, for she will turn them into stone. And to top it, she was sent to exile, away from civilization, creating a monster from a devoted servant. And she was still expected to honor the gods that put her in that position. Something that she, in her mind could not see happening, turning herself into the monster that she was expected to be.
@@kayematildeposo2141 i made a search and she was raped: / sorry for my mistake
She can't control it. Unless she wears sunglasses probably but I don't think they had those at the time.
Just saw Medusa itself and forgot that I watched this a few years back. Still awesome as ever.
This is deep! I failed by seeing the sequel first and then getting recommended the prequel.
When the deer found the stone deer i started to cry
Me to 😭😭😭I don't often cry so hard😭😭😭😭
I actually think the stone deer was the baby and the mom found the baby because the stone deer was a lot smaller than the one that found it but thats what I think so...yea?
I thought so to and because the little deer who turned into stone had no horns and what you said
bruh im sobbing
@@jaynaellie1564 I actually think it was the dad or something because he had antlers meaning that he was male.
Her life is so sad. She can’t have a contact with anybody or she turn them into stone.
And King Medusa couldn't touch anything without it turning to gold, but that was due to his own greed.
@@babsbybend *King Midas
It is sad. I think she accidentally did turn her mom to stone. But to me, I think she’s actually really pretty
I feel sorry for her. It wasn't her fault!
But if she can, her sakes will just snap, And Kill everybody
One of the best Project I ever seen ! Very emotional and spectacular !
Please ! Producers, Disney, Netflix, someone with money ! Please ! Help Jun Chiu for this project to become a full animation movie !
Thank you!!! Thank you for this beautiful version of Medusa. 🥰
The mother. The mother snake. The child. They are separate entities but the way how you blend them in together is just too beautiful!!!!
The deer it made me cry. The thought I her in pain... Poor girl...
lol I literally cried at everything, Im a big baby
I'm crying cause mother and the cobra died...the cobra was like the only parent figure for medusa
It's really sad that the Cobra died
I agree, I was crying when she died
Its sad that cobra died
I agree!
I saw the shield reflection and repeatedly said no as I knew what was going to happen.
This is literally making me cry right now
This video was so sad and Beautiful the art was amazing and I love how the Cobra was like a mother / or father to Medusa..
Whoever thought of this and did this art you did aweso awesome keep up the good work
This needs to be a movie🤔
Disney where you at?!
nah man this is to sad and too real for disney
we need the big guns
on phone: hello.... ghibli
Disney doesn't take this much violence I believe... though I dont get Disney sometimes.
i know!!!!!!!!!!!! but it's so sad, i just about cried
Delighla Hawkins_Southpark I doubt it. Every Disney movie needs death.
@@Ales9004
True, but I have a feeling they wouldn't do this.
It seems brutal for them.
For what its worth. You posted this on birthday. The first one I had after losing my mother. And for whatever reason this really spoke to me and reminded me of her in way to difficult to explain here. Thank you. I sincerely hope your are able to continue with this project and any others you have in the works. I am now a fan.
I’m so sorry for your loss, your mom may not be here on Earth but she is and will always be in your heart.
And watching you from heaven
Keep her in your heart.
She might not be fight next to you but the memories will always stay
I'm so sorry for your loss. :( I hope you have a good day.
I’ve watched this four different times in my life and I always cry to it
i remember watching this 3 years ago. UGHHH THE MEMORIES I LITERALLY CRIED TO THIS 😭😭
13:17 - the very last scene of her holding the snake's body made me cry😭😭😭😭
Me too
I thought that was just a tail
I'm more sad for the unsuspecting mom and son that was just eaten alive. .
@@corrijackson
the mother was hers (of the Medusa) and the child was her (the Medusa) who turned her mother into stone by looking into her eyes
This entire video made me cry
Don't know why every villains have a sad story 😭😭😭
True ! I think it happens with SOME ppl, they are good for others but in return others ppl hurt them só much that they Turn in to " villain" BC they feel hurt. Love can turn in to hate.
Because they're once a good person.
The original medusa wasn't a villain btw! She was raped in her goddesses temple, and said godess (athena) gave her the curse so she would never be taken advantage of again.
This why I always pity villains. They sometimes misunderstood. They become bad because people do them bad first.
Because with out a sad story they can't be villains
This picture story has more thought and emotion put into it than most movies today. A well crafted tragic story told through pictures, absolutely well done.
