    Something I love, that is also reflected in the song, is that Polyphemus, Circe and Poseidon are depicted as tragic and/or ultimately kind-ish, while Odysseus is framed as this murderous specter of a person.
    Also, Odysseus just laying in a puddle is hilarious.

    At 2:04 we can see this monster bending down almost in half and is about the size of Odysseus showing the monster is much taller than Odysseus which to me is giving Athena vibes especially with the helmet showing how the warrior of the mind ideology and the monster ideology are very close to being exactly the same.

    Wow... I am absolutely gagged at what I have seen, first off the first moments of Odysseus walking about in shock and slight despair, the constant reflections of himself, then the colours darkening as he really starts to question himself, Polyphemus being first, him rubbing the sheep, Circe looking malicious at first, but then turning back to a past, more young version of her after a failure she could not stop. given her more depth, Poseidon being seen as someone who has to be respected, no matter the cost, then Odysseus seeing himself as nothing but a solider but then cutting back to his men, who wish the same goal as him, Home, Itacha, to their families, the "Monster" side coming from the ground and confronting him, I like to think it says "Oh ruthlessness is mercy upon our sails" , then passing by the people he has lost, Polities, who died beside him, Athena separating from him, his mother dying of grief and hopes to see her son again, the 500 men he has lost, the constant paddling he does when trying to run from Poseidon, then it coming back to when he dropped Hector's son, cutting back to the "monster", the final agreement that comes between them at the end, as it slowly takes a part of him, btw this sequence is absolutely beautiful 2:46 the countless cuts to the colour red does it for me, the reflections in the first few seconds now becoming the "monster", then it ending on the white eyes of it, as Odysseus comes in terms with it
    Just an absolutely amazing animatic at it's finest!

    At 3:00 the way that Odysseus's hands look kind of black and watery reminds me of the way that you drew one of Poseidon's arms in the Ruthlessness animatic. The symbolism of this is like saying that Odysseus is kind of adopting Poseidon's mindset of ruthlessness, which he is.

    Holy. Moly. Where do I even start?
    Odysseus’s expressions are _everything._ It definitely gives off a vibe of “sleepless nights of regretting your past decisions”, which perfectly matches the themes of the song!
    I love the parts where the “monster” is reflected in the water _so much,_ because he’s literally _reflecting_ on where he’s gone wrong so far, and the second half of the song is how he’s gonna fix it so they can get home.
    Oh my *_gods,_* the black silhouette flashbacks had me *screaming.* Absolutely gorgeous! The fact that they’re outlined the same way as the reflections is really cool too, because he’s also reflecting on his encounters with the people he lists. And then the cut after each one to who those people really are, so cool!
    Although one detail I noticed in Poseidon’s is the shot of a bull being sacrificed when Odysseus says “Or does he keep us in check so we must respect him, and now no one dares to piss him off?” Is that a reference to how Minos intentionally sacrificed the wrong bull to Poseidon, leading Poseidon to curse Pasiphaë into creating the Minotaur? Because if so, that’s a really nice touch.
    The pan over everyone Ody has lost was also amazing! I really like your design of his mother, too!
    That final sequence where the “monster” becomes part of him absolutely took my breath away.
    One more small detail I noticed is that in some shots, the “monster’s” silhouette resembles Athena. I know that’s likely not intentional, but it makes me think about how the “monster” and the way of thinking it represents is what Athena originally wanted Odysseus to be.
    Absolutely incredible work, and well worth the April Fool’s prank! 😂

    I always love it when someone gives Ody’s men unique facial features.
    It’s always a treat to see recurring faces in Ody’s crew.
    1:47 - Oh! So that’s why he has one eye. That’s such a cool detail!!!

  • @AnjutaRoze
    @AnjutaRoze 26 дней назад +39

    I just want to pay attention to the characters that appear in the background of the Odyssey song, because they are fantastically revealed to Gigi!!
    1:19 How I love this shot! He sits quietly and looks at his furry friends, although in the meantime, next to them are the belongings of the dead soldiers of Odysseus (specifically Polit's glasses). And despite the fact that he no longer has an eye, he feels calm and knows that someone worse than him will avenge him. No one else is in terrible danger.
    1:30
    No matter what anyone says, Circe has the saddest story of why she attacked Odysseus. Because her nymphs were harmed and she herself, and of course Circe became much colder over time and stopped trusting the opposite sex (men) who sailed back to her island. She is more realistic with Cyclops, I can really sympathize with them, unlike Poseidon and others who harmed Odysseus and the team.
    1:36
    I ask the commentators who know the meaning of this scene to tell me who exactly Poseidon is killing and for what!! I will be incredibly grateful to you! 🕊️
    1:39
    It hurt my heart after that moment, ay... Poseidon is the most soulless of all Odysseus' enemies, he is a god who killed before Odysseus, and will kill after. To rape, to offend, because he can just do it! It is impossible to sympathize with him, because he does not even avenge his son, if you refer to the lyrics of his song, he just takes revenge because he wants to.
    3:16
    My holy buns, Odysseus lost everything that Polite taught him. Literally everything and Penelope confirms it...
    Dear Gigi, thank you very much for the incredible animation, for the emotional scene at the very beginning, when Odysseus already lay down on a puddle and began to reflect on himself, his enemies and the "Monster"... I'm a monster, rav, rav, rav 💔

    • @ilarianisi2155
      @ilarianisi2155 26 дней назад +8

      My interpretation of 1.36 is that it shows mortals making sacrifices to Poseidon to represent how "we must respect him"!

    • @Tenshi1864
      @Tenshi1864 25 дней назад +7

      1:36 is the sacrifice of a bull, potentially a reference to the Minotaur. It’s usually associated with Cretean worship of Poseidon. When they stopped respecting him by refusing to sacrifice his bull (the bull he gifted them) to him, he reminded them of the cost of disrespect. Basically, Poseidon is scary.

    Odysseus acting all melodramatic at the beginning but then dropping all the mellow and going full drama.
    No but seriously, that animatic is amazing, the change of art style and all the lip synching?? And the facial expressions and gestures to convey the emotions?I love how this one looks more like an actual musical performance with coreo and all, great choice since there is no real plot and this is all internal. I love the use of colours and the shapes flowing into each other, and yet another time you have left no opportunity for symbolism go by unused. Again, absolutely love it!

    Beyond AMAZING, I love how it focused on odyessus reflecting in 6 before accepting his fate(animation is 🤌) and the reference of his helmet on being his "ruthless" self like in Just a Man. Penelope taking off polites's headband from him (his "kind" side) SO GOOD , but please don't forget to rest, trust me, we can all wait for another masterpiece. Just take care of yourself ❤

    Oh wait there is one more - on 2:34 where Odysseus is rowing a boat, it is SO good and smooth yeah

    @jasperhighwind6119 5 дней назад +3

    Odysseus' story looks like a story of growth from childhood to adult. In the beginning, we are all dreams, bluster, and righteousness. Through our own trials, we find that not all ideas stand against harsh reality; not all heroes win; we are one grain of sand on a beach. However, if we choose not to sit still, if we CHOOSE to face the unending horrors and brutality of life, we become something greater. We have to become enough of a monster to fight monsters.
    There's a fine line though. "When you look into the darkness, the darkness looks into you." Stay thirst, my friends.
