- that was probably one of the hardest animatics I've ever done. Truly hope you guys enjoy it, making it was certainly one experience.
Also fun fact, this animatic has 957 frames. It's officially the most frames I've ever drawn in an animatic.

Ruthlessness | Epic: the musical Animatic
Music by Jorge Rivera-Herrans @JayHerrans Развлечения
When Odysseus's apology is basically "My bad g but your son started it :/ "
Honestly, Oddyseus was right in what he said, and Poseidon wouldn't have forgiven him anyway, "The line between naivety and hopefulness is almost invisible", Poseidon was simply being terribly cruel, he wanted to give them hope, which would really be a false hope, to then utterly crush it, he never really had any real intention of forgiving them and letting them go
@@doloresgronenberg5882hes a god and odysseus tried to weasel his way out of responsibility. Even tho hes telling the truth its an unwise choice
3:59 “peace out bro, sorry not sorry”
What else was he supposed to say? He literally tried to negotiate with the cyclops and only hurt him to survive, what excuse could he have invented to tell Poseidon to better that?
@@YOSSARIAN313except he isn’t telling the truth
Odysseus literally screamed out to polythemus his name so he could remember who blinded him.
Odysseus was settled for an excuse instead of an apology and thats why poseidon killed bros men
Aeolus: my job here is done
Odysseus: but you didn't do anything
Make sense probably working with the sea king from the drop
@@wolfsbanealphas617 no joke, I have thought this from the beginning. In the song Storm, you can hear both the electronic instruments and the regular trumpet playing, which is Poseidon's instrument per Jay. Since the storm roiling ocean the is supernatural, and you can't have an epic storm at sea without wind, it just made sense to me that Aeolus was somehow involved, too.
Aeolus later on after Odysseus had escaped Poseidon:, i didn’t do anything eh?! Your lucky I gave u that bag or you would’ve been in the underworld already
@@TowardsTheMoon880
I know, I know but it was the way he showed up and left XD
Aeolus: ✌️
Aeolus: _fades into the wind_
Aeolus: …
Aeolus:
I love how when he says 43 left he just kinda slides in with his arms behind his back like “yeah I counted while you were in shock”
Pffft
Lol
I just envision Poseidon putting on glasses and counting at light speed before quickly returning to the position he was in before
I was thinking exactly this 😂
He really went "Hey so since I control the ocean, as you just saw, I know that I drowned so much of your crew that only 43 is left. Aren't I benevolent?"
As a father myself, I can honestly relate to the sheer rage Poseidon felt at finding his son had been rendered blind by someone, only for that someone to shout out to remember him and basically giving out his home address and name. The sheer hubris and stupidity of Odysseus to give his name after defeating his opponent....
And then to throw his own line back at Odysseus, 'I am your darkest moment.' Especially after killing his men, his 'flock,' as repayment of Odysseus stealing Polyphemus's sheep. Poetic justice.
Then again I hope you don't say "I'd rather you have killed him" 😭😭
@@nolongerinuse1723 of course not.
@@nolongerinuse1723well in the case of the Cyclops killing him would be mercy considering they have removed their only way of sight.
Hey I understand how you feel completely! And I’m not sure if you’ve heard the rest of the musical or at least carefully listened to it that much. But in defense of Ody he wasn’t showing hubris in EPIC! In the original Odyssey he was but this is a retelling! Ody shouted his name bc he was hurt and angry. Several of his men including his (extremely merciful) best friend just died in a really really traumatic way. He shouted his name to teach the Cyclops a lesson on mercy. He made a dumb and horrible mistake not on a clear mind. He blinded Polyphemus out of self-defense and to get his body away from the entrance (“His body his blocking the path- if we kill him then we’ll be stuck inside”).
All Ody wanted was to get food for his crew, leave, and see his wife and son. He didn’t know a cyclops lived in that cave, he didn’t want to fight the cyclops (as seen with the fact he tried to negotiate first) and he certainly didn’t want his best friend and men to die like that.
It’s not justice-Even if Ody wasn’t in the right. Because killing several hundred people isn’t equal to getting blinded. It’s ruthless, which is _exactly_ the intention for this portrayal of Poseidon!
@@TheQuasarWinds You're saying there is no hubris in:
- Believing you're too good to kill an infant when you just got done slaughtering an entire city of unprepared soldiers.
- Refusing to pray to Poseidon before departing for home.
- Thinking that lying to a cyclops (whose favorite pet you just murdered) and offering him a drink will make him spare you.
- Actively going against the advice of your chosen deity and basically telling the cyclops everything about you in a prideful boast after you, again, assumed you're too good to kill your opponent.
- Seeking out the wind god Aeolus instead of at least trying to appease Poseidon, or just dealing with the consequences of your actions when the storm comes.
- Constantly refusing to hear or listen to the concerns of your men despite constantly endangering them, even after the vast majority die needlessly from your mistakes.
- He damn near falls victim to Circe after failing to kill her immediately, giving her time to try seducing him. Only his love for his wife saves him.
- Damn near fighting a prophet because the guy doesn't just tell him what he wants to hear, even though the meaning of his prophecy is obvious if you think about it for like 2 seconds.
More stuff will probably come up later, we already know Zeus gets involved somewhere down the line, but Odysseus gets put through the ringer a lot because he puts his conscience ("I'm the only one whose line I haven't crossed") above the survival of him and his men, which is hubris of the highest order.
Making Odysseus WATCH as his men are brutally drowned IS pretty ruthless!
We could say Poseidon was merciful in that case, because 🎵Ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves!🎵

"I am being nice - to myself!"

Hermes: It wasn’t me!! Not this time, anyway…
Aeolus: …
I actually expected Aeolus to wink at Odysseus when she flew by.
@@AnonEMouse-ls7fp SAME
Athena: THANKS AELOUS !

It's made funnier by how in some versions of the myth Aeolus is Poseidon's child
Welp, someone's in their rebellious phase@@MizuHiful
THE LIGHTING WHEN HE SHOWS HIMSELF, His brother got his back with dramatic entrances 😭✋️
Ikr 😭🖐️
My dumb ass seeing it as a fountain of water just catching the light because I over think shit-
I'm very late but posidon is also the god of storms. He did that himself
@@marcuszunke8563 There's a difference between storms and lightning. Even thunder and lightning. (Think about Norse God Thor being the God of Thunder). There were thunderstorms that seemed to occur without lightning over the seas, and that was very much attributed to Poseidon, but the lightning itself was Zeus' and often the combination of the two, and any quakes caused by the storms, were seen as the two gods fighting.
... You know, this whole sequence is even more terrifying for Odysseus when you realize that Poseidon was likely holding back. Even as divinely pissed off as he was, Poseidon still had enough self-control to only murder MOST of Odysseus' soldiers. Had he felt like it, he could have sent them all, including Odysseus himself, straight to Hades. Instead, he took the time to show them WHY leaving the cyclops alive was a mistake, and why leaving him blind was even worse.
There is no world he isnt holding back in this sequence 😭😭 He could legit just grab Odysseus with his tentacle and skewer him until he looks like swiss cheese but thats not a ruthless as throwing him around and making him watch his crew die
"I am your darkest moment..."
Slight error it was believed that if you died at sea that your soul wouldn't go to hades but would belong to Poseidon instead.
@@tigercraft489 Dang… Rip to those guys’ afterlife 💀💀
@@agatha6999 yes they shall certainly be resting in pieces.
4:03 LMAO the way poseidon falls off and just stares in disbelief 😭
"bitch you did NOT"
It's like that John Mulaney line, "And he was almost impressed!"
Posidon: wtf >:0
"You really gonna run from ME? ON WATER???"
"Wait, no, that's illegal >:("
making us wait a whole day for the premiere is the most ruthless thing you could've done. fitting, I guess.

The cat meme where he goes Huh 😂
😂😂😂
Menacingly!
I like how you design all the gods to be somewhere in the Uncanny Valley. They're still humanoid, attractive, but it almost seems like these alien creatures folded themselves into the shape of a human. For Posiodon, it almost feels like there was a hollow statue of a god and some terrible, malicious octopus crawled inside and is looking out of it's eyes. You end up feeling like a shellfish who just realized something has snuck into your tank.
All this to say, your Posiodon is scarier the more you look at him, good job 👍🥲😅
Especially where you see into his eyes.
Enormous fishes... A grasping hand... And a single red eye surrounded by tentacles...
It's like... Fuck. Is this from Homer or from Lovecraft?
Poseidon: Apologize and I'll let you live
Odysseus: * Apologizes *
Poseidon: ...
Poseidon: Angry fish noises
But he didn't apologize - he just explained his reasoning, and he wasn't very honest with that either.
The thing is, Odysseus didn't apologize. He made an excuse for maiming Poseidon's son. Those lines are him pulling stuff out of his ass, trying to talk his way out of the situation. He never actually apologizes
he didnt though, as others stated, he did the equivalent of "I know was wrong but i did it for the right reason"
Poseidon even SAYS Odysseus fucked up by not killing his son (The thing Athena told him to do)
He didn't apologize though, he made excuses and justified his actions.
and "Justified" them very loosely (since he failed to mention how he was about to steal from the cyclops in question, and the cyclops attacking them was justified, in a certain sense) @@Frank_N_Stein.
2:01 man, Poseidon's face at the "let him live" line just RADIATES the energy of "are you fucking kidding me, man?"
Your interpretations of certain scenes are just A+! Odysseus's ship being held aloft as he watches the others die is utterly brutal, and him throwing a knife at the bag changes it from a sort-of comedic beat to a truly desperate move. And Circe at the end is a hell of a cliffhanger, well done
I loved this take so much! I always was kind of meh with the comedic feel in this otherwise super tragic scene, but this is perfect!
poseidon:bro... if you killed him i wouldn't have known who to punish
I was never quite sure how to picture either scene, but this animatic was perfect in that regard.
Poseidon:

When he sings the part of "We only wanted to escape" the way the voice fades off is as if Poseidon himself just gave a terrifying stare and just shut him up with looks alone.
The little tridents in Odysseyus's eye! The design choices in this, squid body, the transfiguring armored arm, and the way Poseidon smiles on, "but noooooo." ❤️ I really appreciate the little extra step Odysseyus has to take of throwing a knife at the bag to get it open. It emphasizes his cunning and skill, and by placing the bag not immediately in reach answers why Odysseus didn't use it sooner.
You clearly don't actually know anything about poseidon then.
@@Lord-Regent-of-the-Imperium Just let people enjoy the aspects, it's animation, it doesn't have to be 100% accurate
@@Lord-Regent-of-the-Imperium They said that it's a cool design, not an accurate one
@@Lord-Regent-of-the-ImperiumWhy would Poseidon be singing a musical number if this was supposed to be accurate
Like I prefer the other animation though some bits are liked here (The opening of the bag being a desparate move as it was knocked to the ground for instance thus making it a heroic escape rather than mood whiplash)
The little detail of actually seeing Aeolus be happy with Odysseus, because he did use the bag when his enemy was close to get away, was a nice touch.
True.
is it just me or did she "cut her wind" when she flew off too?
I love how Poseidon literally looks more like a Lovecraftian being than a god himself. And the trident thing being the motif of his dress? Flippin brilliant and fantastic. Also, the battle in the mind of Odysseus... Poseidon made him feel alone and mocked... Like he did with Polyphemus! That's Genius!
He’s not wearing a dress, it’s a greek robe/toga, but now that you said that, all I can see is a dress 😂
Also the island they’re at looks like a trident
Yeah I love the Lovecraftian thing this animatic has going for it
Nothing wrong with a dress tho @rafaelaguirre8091
What did you think Lovecraft just made it up? Cthulhu had to come from somewhere.
I love all of Posidons' expressions. Especially with "but no," just that grin as he looks down condescendingly. Also I just love how everyone agrees that he just throws Odysseus around during the line of being told that he's too nice (considering the fact that he can't fight back just adds to it imo). Anyway, before I just ramble anymore, take these hearts 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
Especially that amused look he has during the line “And you let him live,” it is as if he is saying, “How can you be that ignorant and dumb?”
I absolutely love the framing for the line
"Line between naivaty and hopefulness is almost invisible"
2:53
It really highlights the scale between Odysseus and Posiden, making it almost pitiable he thought his wit and cleverness could get him out of the current situation. But looking at it, he stood no real chance.
As a famous fella once said: “The game was rigged from the start”
Gigi's Poseidon is so amazing genuinely so intimidating and perfect with the vocals.
It’s serving male Ursula but I’m actually fine with it because it looks awesome.
@@JacobMinger Ursula is a queeeeeeen
Reminds me how in OUAT Ursula’s father is Poseidon
I feel like if this was a real movie it would have honestly been one of those 2D animated Dreamworks' movies like Prince of Egypt and Eldorado, and people would have made RUclips videos today named "Poseidon in Epic: A legendary and underrated movie villain".
Poseidon: in all my years of living, it isn't very often that I get pissed off
All of Greece: BULLSHIT
Edit: hehe i've started a war 🤭
Well compared to his lifespan he is not wrong
Horseshit*
@@Athenabadassinthearena
So what you are say is, what Poseidon said was true...
From a certain point of view.
Poseidon gets angry and frustrated often, true, but pissed off? Truly furious? That is rare
Compared to the rest of greek goods he's fine
I love the way that when posiden says close your heart you hear a small part of piano showing the similiarities between what posiden and athena were trying to teach odyseus

I love wet hades, now I just have to wait for dry hades
Sky daddy Hades is next!

Please, the way Poseidon goes down back to the water!
He looks like a grumpy toddler.

@@Haunted_Spirit-_- lmao
and then the surprised pikachu face XD
@@mariellemuller3617 it was before he sank.
I think this is the most menacing Poseidon I've seen yet. He really does feel *ruthless*, not just verbally taunting Odysseus, but actively attacking him and taking swipes at him throughout, like a cat playing with a mouse.
That's cruelty. RUTHLESSNESS would have been leaving the blinded Polyphemus in silence, or killing him instead of blinding him to ensure he would be no threat. When Odysseus taunted Polyphemus, THAT was cruelty, because it served no purpose but causing pain for sadistic pleasure. Poseidon is repaying cruelty with cruelty.
Yeah, this art is great. Reminds me of another where they had him looking like a demon horse, but I can’t find it anywhere!
@@Levsa399 That sounds like an interesting spin!
AnniFlamma's Poseidon was pretty scary as well; he had a similar Eldritch Abomination vibe, and the same sadistic grin.
But Jorge's Poseidon will always be the most disturbing to me.
G E T I N T H E W A T E R
AnniFlamma's version is pretty brutal, too :D
"Wet hades" we all say in unison
Hades wouldn't do this
@@WarriorcatGerdaBRO, you are commenting the exact same thing on everything, wow, it is a joke created by RUclipsr CF reacts
I love seeing all the different interpretations of Poseidon, like AnniFlamma’s ruthlessness animatic where his horse god status is really emphasized, or how wolfythewitch animates him as like being the ocean itself and turning into water, and then you with this Kraken-y monstrous vibe. All of them are so cool and creative!!
This has gotta be my new favorite Poseidon Design. The way it just interacts with so many different aspects of his domain. The Earth Tridents, the tentacles. I think I even saw some lightning effects maybe referencing storms. He also just screams Classic Disney Villian Energy.
Edit: He also just has the COOLEST entrance Ever! With the chants and him emerging from the Lighting / waterfall? Like a gladiator.
Except octopus are barely featured in greek mythology, and poseidon has 0 affiation to octopus, which is more of an equestrian deity. Meaning horses and horse based creatures, Pegasus is his literal son born from the bloody stump of medusa's neck after getting decapitated by Perseus. In fact, his other son Bellarophon inherited his horse riding abilities from poseidon and proceeded to use those abilities to aid in his slaying of the monster known as Chimera and would later attempt to fly up to olympus, both events being on the back of the earlier referenced Pegasus. Also Pegasus and Chimera are not the names of the species as they are the only ones of their individual kind, Pegasus is literally just the name of the singular winged horse and Chimera being the name of the individual monster.
@@Lord-Regent-of-the-Imperium the octopus is probably because Poseidon has command over the seas and all creatures in the seas and Pegasus isn't his son you must be referring to the rape of Medusa which was something the Roman poet Ovid added later not part of the original legend
@@bobross-ze8vy ah I see
His entrance made me think he went "Brother, I'm going down there to deal with this fuck-"
And Zeus was like "Alright, bet, I'll make you look awesome and intimidating."
@@callmeaxt9688 Poseidon is also god of the storms, do technically he also has a claim on the use of thunder and lightning.
Before Zeus became the main god of the pantheon, before the concept of a sky father became mainstream, the main god was actually Poseidon
He was pretty spooky too
2:04 The perfectly captured mix of incredulity, rage and amusement. The expression of pure, “you have got to be fucking with me!” Love it.
I seriously love the interpretation of him throwing the dagger at the bag to open it- having it be out of his reach, but him still finding a way to open it just feels better than him having it on his person to begin with.
Poseidon repeating the 'darkest moment' line that Odysseus said to the cyclops kinda makes it feel as if he watched it happen instead of just being told, and only took it upon himself to act when his son literally came begging to him
I absolutely love how this disign implies that the giant kraken that all sailors fear is posiden. Thats so clever!
Sorry to be the party pooper but the Kraken is norse mythology and theres literally nothing resembling an octopus or squid in greek mythology, probably has something to do with the fact that from what I understand, octopi are not native to the Mediterranean especially around greece due to how flippin random the weather is.
@@Lord-Regent-of-the-Imperium not a party popper at all. I'm aware the kraken Is Norse and that octopuses aren't native to the region and thus not in Greek mythos. However I feel the imagery of the giant tentacles coming out of the water to smash and drag down ships was almost directly referencing the kraken. Especially considering, as you said, there is no real reason to have octopuses/squids connected to posiden's design otherwise.
@@Lord-Regent-of-the-Imperium Technically ancient Greek and Norse gods do many similarities. And there were Nordic trade during Mycenaean Greek.
This. THIS. THIS is the definition of good movement and character design. Also holy shit giant poisoden was terrifying and I loved his facial movements.
Sameeee
4:10 damn Aeolus looking terrifying af.
I always thought she was whispering through the wind to cause the men to distrust Odysseus and open the bag and perhaps they drugged him with Lotus to make him fall asleep.
I mean, he was awake for nine days. You can literally die from sleep deprivation in a week, he was really going to succumb to it at some point imo
I am so glad Wet Hades got a shout-out
POSEIDONS FACE WHEN HE OPENS THE BAG 😂
4:00 was a brilliant idea to have Odysseus throw the knife at the bag
Wet Hades is CRAZZZZY
Poseidon? Nah it's 🌟 wet Hades 🌟
WHERE TO START! first off ive noticed a theme in all the animatics of this song ive seen of posiedon being very agressive towards odysseus (throwing him around,, using waves to sway the ship etc.) BUT THIS was the only one ive seen where posiden does what i assume was a sort of quick thought AND THEN ATTACKS ODYSSEUS INSIDE HIS OWN HEAD! and making him watch from above as he kills his whole crew with odysseues knowing he cant do anything to save them IS SO JUST- AAAAAAAA! also i love eurylochus running to make sure hes ok after he gets thrown to the side of the ship. and oddly the first animatic ive seen where posideon has a trident. this is just all in all amazing gigi we all love watching you improve!
The trident thing is so true, i was legit thinking "where the hell is poseidon's badass trident??" in a LOT of animatics. Pretty sure some had them
Oh my god!!
The white in Odysseus' and Eurylochus' eyes to show their fear was perfect
And the way you showed Poseidon taunting Odysseus showed how aggressive and invasive he is!
Also, nice touch with Circe at the end
Wet hades is so wonderfully animated.
Absolutely amazing job gigi 🥰 Your animatics have infinitely enhanced my “EPIC” experience ✨
Your wet hades experience

I love Aeolus’s face on the bag of wind so much! It makes it look like a product they’d sell and seeing it alleviated the situation in a great way for the opening of it. AAAA THIS IS SO GOOD IM BLOWN AWAY
"Blown away" PFFF
@@waterwyvern The pun was fully intended
AMAZING GIGI!!!
I loved the choice you made to show Poseidon as huge. He's literally bigger than every single threat Odysseus has faced thus far. It very much gives "vengeful god" and ultimate antagonist.
I also loved you showing how Poseidon held Odysseus's ship above the fleet so he could safely watch his men be slaughtered in less than a minute.
Your work is magnificent. I loved it. So worth the wait.
This is probably the most dynamic Posidion I've ever seen. The way he swings his trident around is so fluid
4:10 I really like how Aeolus just pops in and waves like 'Hi! Clever job, dude. Bye'
I love this god so. Much.
This one was amazing gigi! I think its one of your bests and my favorite! I love the animation! And Posiedon's expression when Odysseus opening the bag was so fun! Loved it!

@@gigi2820 Aaaah Im sorry that mine added that stress 🤣 Its pretty much just a horse running around. But I really love your idea that Poseidon actually beat the crap out of him with the trident! And that he becomes big and the picks up the boat!

@@WitherHuntress I agree with you. I ADORE both these animations and a volan with these two geniouses would be EPIC.(pun intended)😏😁
I love how poseidon raises giant jagged peaks of rock, it plays on his aspect of God of earthquakes
Amazingly done animatic ❤
For once a good take, Im tired of people praising the octopus thing. That choice just does not work for me under the context that this is Poseidon. Octopi don't feature in greek myth almost at all. If this was under the context of being some other ocean deity from a typical fantasy world, then I'd be more down for this design. Im not saying the animatic is bad or anything that happens is bad. I just find the context of this supposedly being poseidon to be incredibly jarring. It would've been one thing if the tentacle were made of water, but them being physical pieces of the god himself just does not work for me.
@Battle-Brother-Ixaris I can kinda see it, Octopi live just about everywhere in the ocean, especially near the coasts, and Poseidon's temples were often built on the coast due to being the God of waters.
I can totally buy Poseidon deciding to partially shape-shift into an octopus
@tetragaming6332 dude is all about horses. The fact that there's no mythical octopus monster in greek myth leads me to conclude that octopi are not indigenous to the Mediterranean.
@Battle-Brother-Ixaris they are.
I meant what I said, they'll even live in the artic.
@tetragaming6332 ok then wheres the greek octopus monster? They made a monster for everything they knew about man, so wheres the big fuck off octopus?
I love your idea for the scene of how Poseidon was able to keep Odysseus’ boat safe but destroys all the others! And with Odysseus watching helpless at the top.
And I love how you played the scene for when Odysseus opened the bag. He didn’t do it in a fun way, but in the serious, quick witted way that he is. All of it was perfection.
Wet Hades let's goooooo

bro ic ant wait 4 this aniamtic to come out also NINE HUNDRED AND FIFTY SEVEN FRAMES?? THATS ACTUALLY CRAZY I cant wait to see this bruh
The way Posidion moves gave me Scylla vibes which is so good. Then him showing his gigantic form and ripping the ship.
The VISUALS is just so damn good!
I'm constantly fascinated by how differently people choose to animate Poseidon, especially in the way that he destroys the fleet. I don't think I've seen any two that are the same, but I DEFINITELY haven't seen such a tentacle-y design for Poseidon that gives him an almost eldritch vibe. Well done!
i find it funny, that posieden isnt mad that he hurt him, hes mad he didnt kill him. but poseiden is right as well. epsecially for a race such as cyclops. killing the cyclops wouldve been a mercy to it.
This hurt even MORE seeing it animated this way. The desperation on Odysseus’s face when most of his men were eradicated right in his face is just- wow. Amazing job! You are so skilled!
I don't envy the playlist/compilation makers, they are gonna have to chose between your and Anni's Ruthlessness animatics when they're both SO GOOD.
I have chosen to have both on my Playlist.
I listen to Ruthlessness on repeat anyway, so having more than 1 tracks for me
Both portray Poseidon as Eldritch Divine Monsters.
Poseidon here has ties to older form from the predecessor of hellenistic Greece: a catatonic God, ruler instead of Zeus and called the Earthshaker.
Also the ties to the most nefarious mythical sea creature that sailors have feared with him are great.
The other animatic does what a lot of animatics are doing, where Poseidon is one with sea and therefore attacks them through whipping up a storm. It also ties into his other position as God of Horses, with him turning into one (as he has countless times).
It's also a neat connection to the way that poets and writers back then described turbulent waves as racing horses. And of course, pointing out the irony of Odyssey with the Trojan Horse built along with Athena - who is Poseidons main rival not to mention.
I personally think the overall choreography is more clever and impactful in this animatic with the little details of poseidon holding up the ship, odysseus throwing a knife at the bag and the menacing red tint when poseidon goes on his rampage. I also prefer his design here, i particulary loved his unique tentacle movements. He looks less human and more powerful.
I really liked the horse theme in the other animatic though. Both artists did an incredible job
Playlist makers are just gonna have to flip a coin because like both are so damn incredible and deserve recognition and praise
Wet Hades
Wet hades is the best character in this musical
AAAAAAAAAAAGH THIS WAS SO COOL! This is on the same level as AnniFlamma's animatic, imo. The fact that Poseidon has tentacles instead of legs, the imagery, the brutality, and the little cameo from Aeolus...absolutely phenomenal! Well worth the wait!
Can't wait to see you tackle the Circe saga! If that is the direction you choose to go, of course. Keep being awesome queen!
Just finished watching and I LOVE ALL THE COLORS IT WAS SO AMAZING AND CIRCE COMING UP AT THE END WAS SPECTACULAR. And Aeolus swinging by as he used the last bits of the storm to blow himself away- AH IM AMAZED. Amazing as always.

Oh, piss off Hades and he will absolutely go all Wet Hades on you. Just ask the guy who tried to kidnap his Queen.

My like, comment and subscribe - is the least, that I can pay back for such a pleasure from watch ❤
2:37 no because if i were poseidon and odysseus sang to me like this, i would let him live
I don’t think you understand how Poseidon operates in EPIC. We’re humans with idealized mercy where life of all is precious, Poseidon is a god who claims “Ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves”. Honestly the only thing Odysseus could have said here to save his crew is either recognize he was the only one that wanted mercy since in Remember them the crew all yelled “Let’s kill him” or create reasoning why they were unable to kill the cyclops. Poseidon even recognizes he wouldn’t even know of Odysseus’s actions if they had killed Polyphemus. While the type of singing is gorgeous, in this scenario you’re still a god with knowledge of Apollo, you’ve probably heard that music by now and Odysseus’s singing would be subpar in comparison at best. So the lyrics, singing, and viewpoints all lead to an expected end for the 500 or so drowned.
Same 😭
Going absolutely feral over the sheer emotion conveyed in this animatic- ESPECIALLY THE “and you let him LIVE??” Wonderfully done omg- 💙
😌 2:03
WET
FREAKING
HADESSSSS
Hades wouldn't do this
@@WarriorcatGerda yeah you definitely don't get the joke lmao
@@GleamDrawz I get now
hoogh can we talk about the choreography at 1:54?? like god i love how posideon is mercilessly beating up odysessus while it fits well with his monologue at that moment
Gigi, phenomenal as always! Your Poseidon design is amazing, and I really like how you depicted the “All I gotta do is open this bag” sequence particularly. It was a dramatic and harrowing scene, which is different from how I usually see people animate it based on Odysseus’ chipper tone. I really enjoyed that!
I also thought it was a nice touch to have Poseidon’s tentacles suspend Odysseus’ ship in midair while he wrought havoc on the rest of the fleet. That gave a distinct feeling of helplessness (and ruthlessness) as Odysseus’ was forced to watch the carnage.
This is one of the coolest versions of Ruthlessness I have ever seen!! The faces are so expressive and Poseidon's design is so cool!! I never would have thought of using tentacles like that, but it fits!! The animation was so smooth, and I couldn't look away!! All in all, amazing job because HOLY CRAP THIS WAS GOOD!!!
1:51 I freaking love the "but nooo~~" and the way you drew him saying it , I loved how you designed Poseidon like OMG and I loved the way you animated him threw Odysseus at first I was like really surprised how AMAZING it is because I found no other artist that animated this THIS good like thank you so much for your efforts I was waiting for you to animate this song for so long and it deserves it
Most modern depictions of Poseidon is this happy go lucky, wacky uncle thats kinda weird. No one remember how terrifying and brutal the sea can be to those not belong to it
I'm going to actually scream at how amazing this is. I can SEE WHY THIS WAS SO HARD, there is so much MOVEMENT, so many AMAZING moments, probably one of my top Ruthlessness Animatics. I LOVE how Poseidon hits Odysseus with his trident, and it takes him to a reflectant area in his own mind. THEN HE COMES BACK AND NO TIME HAD PASSED.
The FAKE OUT for Odysseus' ship being lifted up as if THEY were in danger was one of my favorites. I wouldn't have seen it coming if I didn't know the song and MAN, did that make the scene EVEN MORE INTENSE. (Poor Odysseus watching it all occur).
Lastly- I love your depiction of Poseidon. I loved it when I saw the first little snippet; the Octopus-like features. I love the smug expressions, and also anger in his face. You did SO AWESOME on this thank you so much for making this!
This is amazing! I can’t imagine how much work this must’ve taken, and you portray the characters so well! I like how physically repulsed Poseidon is with Odysseus. It looks to me like he’s even wiping off his hand that he used to grab him with at 1:16
Truly, well done.
I DIDNT NOTICE THAT LOL
OMG the way you designed the jagged spikes that are behind Poseidon's head that not only give the illusion of a crown but the three top spikes look just like his trident as he submerges back into the ocean at the end of the song????? artistic genius right there
"I am your darkest moment..." Love when words get thrown back in your face.
2:31 Poseidon: unless of course you apologise
Me: I’m sorry!
Honestly, this really could've been mediated with an "I'm sorry, I was trying to minimize his pain, not extend it. I'd seen so many of my men die and I didn't want to be responsible for another death. I was wrong, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have left your son to suffer."
But y'know, that would've required actual humility and humanity on Odysseus's part. The ability to reflect on his actions, overcome his own hubris, and admit wrongdoing.
Sacrificing one of those sheep to Poseidon in apology (especially if they'd killed polyphemus) wouldn't have hurt, either.
@@bornvleviPoseidon would not let them go either way.
@@bornvlevi Considering his whole song is "Ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves" I really dont think he was being serious about the apology bit lol
Man’s is a Canadian so I’m a professional sorry sayer.
@@agatha6999 I’d say he’d possibly spare some more of Poseidon’s crew if he had apologised. Not gotten rid of the punishment by any means but softening the blow.
I love the way you had him opening the bag, Odysseus's facial expressions felt real and it was done really well
Posiden’s defence when he’s in court for murder “ruthlessness is mercy apon ourselves”
“Killing you is now an act of mercy”
- Undyne
This is beautiful, I love just how much it emphasizes Poseidon as a force of nature- this is a GOD, and the animation drives that home extremely well
Wet hades is the greatest god
I WENT TO NEWEST COMMENTS AND 'WHAT IS WET HADES ???
Odysseus's apology: '' Ayo so here's why we did this I'm not gonna apologize but Imma try and reason with you ''
Go to CF reacts on Ruthlessness to find out
Thank Casper for this...
I am so sorry 🤣😭
Ahhh.
NOW I UNDERSTAND
@@officialmortius WHAT HAVE YOU DONE.
i just realized odysseus' crew was screaming "captain!" when they got slaughtered... ive been listening to ruthlessness so many times but the imagery made me realized that oh yeah... they were screaming for their lives and its not just that whole sequence being a cool beat
I think they were trying to get Odysseus to do smth about them dying
Poseidon looks really cool, with his octopus tentacles for legs and his trident and all that other stuff. You did a great job, gigi!
3:06 Esta parte, en canción y en animación siempre me va a doler como Odiseo debe ver cómo Poseidón mata sin piedad a sus hombres que, si no mal recuerdo, regresaban de la guerra
These men are soldiers who up until this point always had a way to combat an enemy but this is a god and no blade can pierce their flesh, so the desperation to even survive, and their inability to fight back is something you’d feel in this situation.
WET HA DES! WET HA DES! WET HA DES! WET HA DES! WET HA DES! WET HA DES! WET HA DES! WetHades 😨
WET HA DES!!
How much comments will I find saying wet Hades
Wet Ha des wet ha des
1:38 Me with Thalassophobia: "Oh hell no!"
It’s ruthless how underrated you are
THIS WAS THE BEST RUTHLESSNESS ANIMATIC I SEEN!!
God, the look of Poseidon...his smile at the end...aahh...how handsome he is❤❤❤ 3:39
Goood lord this animatic is, like, just the best. Love how you animate Wet Hades, they way he moves is just SOOOOOOOOOOOO Intimidating
I love that in your version Odysseus throws his knife to open the bag and is more determined than smug than in ither versions ive so far! It feels like the smoothest transition from his horror of what just happened tl his sudden impulsivity to open the bag
