Lyrics written by Jorge Rivera-Herrans:
Great wind god, Aeolus
I don't know if you know this
But our path to home is blocked by an impenetrable storm
I ask for your assistance
So we at last can go the distance
Can you cast the perfect winds for us and aid our journey home?
Haha, ha
I am the wind, twisting and turning
I give the fire enough to stay burning
Let's play a game
A game?
That's what I'm serving
And if you win, you will get what you're yearning
Deal
Take a look right here at this bag
It has the winds of the storm all trapped
All you gotta do is not open this bag
Sounds too easy, what's the catch?
Haha, ha
Keep your friends close and your enemies closer
Never really know who you can trust
If they wanna get the bag open, you gotta say "no, sir"
Sometimes killing is a must
What?
'Cause the end always justifies the means
Friends turn into foes and rivalries
So keep your friends close and your enemies closer
Never really know who you can trust (never really know who you can trust)
Captain, what's happening?
What's trapped in that bag?
Something dangerous, friends
We mustn't lie
It's treasure
What?
Buh-bye
Open the bag
Let's see what you got
No, do not
Everybody listen closely
See how this bag is closed?
That's how it's supposed to be
This bag has the storm inside
We cannot let the treasure rumor fly
We'll try
Keep your friends close and your enemies closer
Never really know who you can trust
Never really know who you can trust
Now they wanna get the bag open so they can have closure
Sometimes sneaking is a must
Sometimes sneaking is a must
'Cause the end always justifies the means
Everything's changed since Polites, so
Keep your friends close and your enemies closer
Never really know who you can trust
Never really know who you can trust
For nine days, I've stayed wide awake
Trying to make it home with no storm or tidal wave
I remain unopposed, the bag is still closed
And I'm getting closer to you
Penelope
I can't wait to make some new memories
Telemachus
Time for me to be the father I never was
Just keep your eyes open
Why are my eyes and my heart and my soul so heavy?
Just keep your eyes open
I keep on trying to embrace you both
Why won't you let me?
Just keep your eyes open
So much has changed but I'm the same
Yes I'm the same
Just keep your eyes open
Keep your eyes open
Wake up
Wake up, Odysseus, they're opening the bag
Wake up
No
Keep your friends close and your enemies closer
Never really know who you can trust
Never really know who you can trust
Storm
Full speed ahead
Where's the storm taking us?
I said to keep the bag closed, but you were incompliant
If I had to guess? You're heading to the
Land of the giants
Storm, storm
Help me close the bag
But sir, it's too late
We can save whatever wind is left to use another day
Come on
Odysseus of Ithaca
Do you know who I am?

POOF! :disappears:
Don’t forget to check the description! You might find answer to your question :D
Thanks for watching everyone! I can't believe this animatic is finally finished
Great Poseidon design Mircsy
Do you think you'll do Ruthlessness?
1:00 all the winions are adorable!!
Your Odysseus is so playful!
I love how as she says to keep your enemies closer, she hold the winion close to her face like "You have no idea the carnage these things are capable of, I cuddle them as a means of preventing the apocalypse."
LMAO😂
Full Speed Ahead!
Odysseus being actually tied to the ship so they could get the bag and open it is such a devious detail, I love it!
It really is!
IKR- it adds so much to showing how the crew’s trust in him is waning
I was like 'That is evil. The gall!'
It is absolutely brilliant, I give it all the points.
feel like something yr siblings do
On one hand, it's sad to see Ody's lotus eater buddy go. On the other, considering what's coming, it probably dodged many, many bullets this way.
maybe it will come back when he neds it most maybe
It is sad
@@Mary10974lol the emoji is silly
He’s gonna go take care of Penelope and Telemachus
No kidding
Omg. Odysseus falling in the water and Posiedon picking him up at the end
So he actually got in the water! smh Poseidon it's your own fault for picking him out of it.
Oh man there are so many details about this that I love. Like the Winions carrying Odysseus down to the ship, the bag being big enough to feasibly hold treasure, Odysseus’s dream and how he couldn’t reach his family. And him being tied to the ship delaying him???? Incredible detail. I’m going to think about that so much now
And the Lotus Eater turning into a Winion?? And how the Lotus Eater was in Odysseus’s shirt for the journey up. So adorable. I was wondering what happened to it on my first watch through
The thing that bugs me not like a plot whole but like why are you like this even if it was treasure was waiting till they got home really that bad like they can’t be this dumb
Damn, the crew having an actual different designes instead of being a background noise is something i never knew i craved.
Same
Poseidon's crown resembling Polyphemus' head is a great detail.
1:16 THE TWERKING WINIONS!!!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Bro I wondered if I was the only one who noticed it 😆 It catched me so off guard like what, they just vibing there 😆
IT WAS SO SMOOTH TOO
@@AnnachiaraAWeb fr 😆
I didn’t even notice that till you mentioned it- 😂😂😂😂
OHHHH NAHHH I DIDNT SEE THAT!!!
I super dig the extra attention/'screen time' Eurylochus and the crew get in this; you really show how the doubt is starting to creep in for everyone, and while Eurylochus tries to play peace maker by trying to get Odysseus to give holding the bag a rest (at least it SEEMS initially like that's what he was trying to do...) it's too late. The fact someone tied Odysseus' hand down is a really great visual way to show how much trust has already been lost even at this point.
Also, I vote this animatic for most tragic dream sequence while Odysseus was sleeping; running on a endless pier, always within sight of his wife and child but never able to reach them is such a heartbreaking but apt metaphor for Odysseus' whole situation at that point.
Great stuff!
YES YES YES
EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS!!
to add onto this, I feel like Mircsy predicted the twist, so not only do we not see who opened the bag like some other animatics did, but also having eurylochus trying to convince him shows he eventually opened the bag
Oh I'm so excited for this actually lets goooo
MORTIUS???
Windy Hades!
@@camburger8263 LMAOOOOO
Holy crap señor mortius
I am excited to see some trauma. Are you Mortius?
Finally a bag thats not a tiny purse! And Odysseus not being able to hug Penelope as the song says! I love your design and imagination so much Mircsy!
Also the Poseidom design reminds me of Polyphemus and it is TERRIFYING
IDIDNT EVEN REALIZE THAT!! Great catch!!
I like how odysseus's ship has an owl on it symbolizing his quote-unquote friendship with Athena before he decides cut ties with her.
Omg the cheeky looks on the crew when they say “we’ll try”
I really love how you give insight into the mistrust of the crew not only in their expressions after the 'treasure' part but the continued disagreements between Odysseus and Eurylochus.
The little snippet of the whole crew turning towards the captain and his right hand brazenly arguing in the middle of the deck is really essential into understanding the growing rift between the crew and Ody! His frustration at the disrespect and his utter exhaustion is so so good. This feature was really unique and I've watched it so many times since the last hour in which it dropped, good going and elite animatic as always!
Also! The pure terror on Eurylochus' face when Ody is thrown overboard is delicious-only to get picked up by Poseidon!!! It adds so much fear to the whole scene
Oh I love that Poseidon grabs Odysseus for his very threatening introduction
Human greed and curiosity almost wiping out the entire fleet... Man, the greeks knew how to create masterpieces, just like this animatic.
Bro Aeolus transforming into the storm clouds was perfect. It showed perfectly how some Olympians saw mortals, more of passing the time and amusement than actual people in need. Well done mircsy.
it's the little details like Odysseus holding down his clothes to not flash the poor wind lass ;u; i love this so much!! Your expressions are spot on too!
0:48 Ody holding his skirt down in the wind 😂 ahahaha I can't breathe
This coming out after “finding out” who opened the bag in the Thunder Saga. Perfect
Funny how this one of the first to actually not show who did it unlike what many of us probably imagined
I love it when eurylochus said “it’s euryin’ time” and then proceeded to eury all over the bag. Have me in tears🥹
even the winions got emotional! 🥹🥹🥹
I-
The Euryest moment of all time, for sure. :]
I love when he said “I’M GOIN EURY MODE” when lighting the torches to help out his buddy Odysseus🤩
I read Eury as Yuri 😔
This is so good 😭
They way he's desperately running towards Penelope and Telemachus! And Poseidon's design!? Geez, no wonder you're my favorite animator for Epic!
"BomBom & Jimothy: Winion Children of Fable" Mircsy omgggg I APPRECIATE YOU SO MUCHHH 🥺😭🙏💖💜💖💜
OOOOO THIS IS GONNA BE GOOD
Woah, I didn't I'd see you in here! Awesome!
Eurylochus in this is great, you can see the just doubt and suspicion on his face when Odysseus went up to a god and came back with a bag that apparently was "holding a storm".
But i love how this sets up the rift between them so much, eurylochus goes to respect Odysseus' choice to keep it closed, i presume offering to keep watch while the captain sleeps. Only to be screamed at and snapped at.
This is prolly where eurylochus doubts him and chooses to open the bag. Not cause he was stupid and wanting treasure or he was playing the long con or something, but that Odysseus was so protective over the bag even his second in command/brother in law caught his wrath for even trying to tell ody to sleep and leave the bag to him. He must have thought something truly strange was afoot , but he didnt believe Odysseus' story
1:49 - Shoutout to fully drawing everyone with unique facial features!!!
1:52 - And for giving each a different reaction to Odysseus’ words. It makes them feel like individuals rather than set dressing.
It also makes it all the more heartbreaking when they all die.
YOOOOO THIS IS SOO GOODDDD!!!! The transition into the dream with the bag turning into a landscape??? You cooked, served, ate and left no crumbs. Thank you for blessing us
I love the fact that at “we’ll try” eury looks skeptical, foreshadowing what we now know was him plotting to open the bag
This is SO FANTASTIC! The way Ody and Eury fought; Ithica in the "bag" (such a clever depiction!); the way Ody was tied up after the bag was opened; the hand of water grabbing Ody after he fell off the boat, the Poseidon reveal - I think I have a new favorite KYFC animatic. 💖
Details I loved:
- Actually showing how Odysseus got to the island, haven’t seen that done before
- Little lotus eater still with him 🥺
- Aeolus taking Ody up into the air with her
- Ody holding his tunic(?) down when he rights himself in the air (lol)
- Aeolus literally traps the storm from the Storm song in the bag!!
- Mass winion jumpscare. Way more than I expected
- 1:11 Dramatic winions
- Lotus eater gets to go home!!! Also the one Ody is petting in that scene vv cute
- I THOUGHT YOU WERE JOKING ABOUT THE TWERKING WINIONS and you gave the winions so much personality in this scene
- 1:27 That one crewmate just lying there is such a mood
- Winions coming down and exiting the scene felt very natural
- OCs for added crewmate flavour is genius
- 2:08 THE 3 SNEAKING BEHIND THE MAST
- Top of the bag transitioning to Ithaca was smooth af and also genius
- Ody breaking into a run in the dream was heartbreaking
- Aeolus looking like the most gleeful lil sh!t (/positive) here seems very in-character
- ODY’S BOAT HAS ATHENA’S OWL AS THE FIGUREHEAD THATS SO COOL
- Ody flying off the ship drives home the severity of the storm, but also is an EXCELLENT SEGUE FOR POSEIDON’S ENTRANCE LIKE HELLO???
- Poseidon being the literal ocean and scooping Ody up was *awesome*, your Poseidon design with a helmet is also unique and looks fantastic. As someone else pointed out, the gem(?)/top/centre of his helmet evoking your Polyphemus’ is absolutely genius
1:51 I LOVE THEIR EXPRESSIONS HER EOH MY GOD
Ok 1) The top of the bag slowly turning into and revealing the docks of Ithica is incredibly unique and imaginative.
And 2) POSEIDON’S DESIGN. Kindaaa hoping we get a Ruthlessness animatic now…
(But I’ll watch any song from Mircsy)
This animatic is better than I ever imagined it would! I love how much detail and emotion you put into each frame. And Telemachus hiding behind Penelope because he doesn’t know who Odysseus is 😭
Mircsy. I LOVE this. All of it. The INSANE amount of winions, the way they pluck the lotus eater's broken stem off to have it join them, the TEEF, AND THE POSEIDON I WATCHED YOU DRAW IN THE DISCORD (hi it's Duo btw)..... *SCREAMS* You're officially my favorite animatic artist. Just..... Wow.
Keep your friends close and your enemies closer
I love how all the crew members look so different! The expressions of everyone and movements are so fluid and nice to watch
4:05 oh he kinda hot
RUTHLESSNESS please!
Also i love how his helmet looks like the cyclops eye
Oh man, seeing the active betrayal by Eurylochus as he plots and argues with Ody about the bag is poignant. And all the emotions for the “we’ll try”.
Beautiful work!
2:08 the crew 😂😂
You know the whole meaning of this song is essentially a long time enemy is dangerous but disloyal allies are twice as dangerous.
I loved how you make the winions be the same but w/o the flower, it could mean that the lotus eaters are just winions who got lost on the cyclops island and got addicted to lotus
I LOVE THIS!!! First of all, odysseous and Eurylychus are awesome, as always, and I adored the design of aeolous and the winion! It seems they've got some relation to the Lotus eaters. I adore all the expressions done by everyone, anger, fear, and surprise. I also loved the shot with telemachus and penelope, that was so sweet, and damn, they tied him up! I get why he sacrificed fix of them to scylla. Poseidon is also absolutely amazing, I love the things he's got in common with Polyphemus, and the shot where the storm throws all the boats around like toys is amazing. Thank you for making it!
Oh WOW I think this might be a new favourite from you! The dream sequence, the way you actually showed how Odysseus transitions between locations, the design of Aeolus, Odysseus actually having gotten tied to the rudder?? Man that added a whole level of desperation to the NOOOOoooo. Stellar. Incredible. Your skills are only developing more as you make these animatics, I'm in awe!
CAN WE TALK ABOUT THE DESIGNS?!? The boat has an owl for Athena as she was Ody’s mentor
AND POSEIDON LOOKS SIMILAR TO THE CYCLOPS
GENIUS WORK
I love how the lotus eater is now just Ody's sidekick
Was his sidekick. If Aeolus hadn't stolen it, perhaps it would have woken Ody up before the bag got opened.
@@FluffeeSMASH It was probably also the one who said scary cave in open arms
The little Lotus eater is still with him that is so cute and he has found his new family!! AHHH THIS IS SO GOOD. I CAN’T WAIT TO SEE MORE!
OMG I love how much Eurylocus and the crew are part of this- Eurylocus and Odysseus having that fight over the bag and only stopping when the crew is looking at them, before the crew goes back to work and pretends that they’re not looking. Also Odysseus tied to the ship so he physically can’t stop them from opening the bag???? I really like the designs you have for Aeolus and Posidon too!! But nooooo the winion buddies getting blown away when the wind bag is open :(( gonna miss those guys, the little lotus eater stuck around for so long…
The winions coalescing into clouds is a really cool touch!
YESSSSSS finally, I always wait for your animatics and now you can freely do your thunder bringer ideas 😂
I LOVE the visual of all the ships at 3:45!! Really helps emphasize the consequences of opening the bag
I love how they free their Winion companion from the lotus’ trance by breaking off the stem. It;s so cute to see all the little pals flying together. I wonder what the backstory is for the rest of the winions getting cursed to the lotus?
This is so so good! The way you showed the seeds for Mutiny? The way you bled “real life” into then dream sequence? Poseidon’s design which is distinct but also shares qualities with Athena’s? It’s all so good! (And yes, the twerking winions were everything I hoped for!)
DAMN I FALL ASLEEP AND MISSED IT
The way you drawing some scenes just pure masterpiece!!!
AND HOW THE F- EVERYONE IS HOT ON THIS SHIP
Because almost all of the crewmembers are my original characters from my original story LMAO /j
@@that.drawer.mircsy THEY SO HOT I CANT
MAN you are good at this. I love Odysseus being tied, the crew being more detailed and looking over the fights, the owl-shaped ship, and your Poseidon! So much good stuff! I'm extremely thankful that you finished this, and would love to see more.
I was waiting for this! I love the design of characters, ships, everything! You did a great job!❤❤❤
BROOOOOOO!!!! This was everything I was hoping for and more!! The detail with him being tied up, the arguing and mistrust with the bag? Also, I ADORE the way you animated Aeolus-her facial expressions were super satisfying to watch. AND DUDE POSEIDON AT THE END?? Chills. Excellent job as always!!!
i legit sounded like a owl who tried to do a kukabura call when i saw persidon raise from the water and him having a mask with the cyclops's eye!!! mircsy have mercy on my soul! (dont, I love it!)
This was different from so many other animatics and I love it! The details! Poseidon looks amazing!!! And tying Odysseus being tied so he couldn’t stop them! Genius!
Just crazy to think they were so close to being home until a certain SOMEONE (we all know it was now) decided to open the bag instead of listening to the person who actually got the bag and knew what he was doing.
I never thought that the one who oppened the bag was Eury…. I think it was the most shocking part of the Thunder Saga. I trusted him 😭
Btw, you are my most favorite Elic animator. The quality and storytelling is 🔥🔥🔥
Ok this is phenomenal work and might be my favorite animatic for this song, but after seeing that amazing Poseidon design my only thought is RUTHLESSNESS WHEN?!?!?
omg why does this scene remind me of polites being hugged by the lotus eaters😢
1:11
0:15 Odysseus’s head popping in like that is SO CUTE. Lord help me why am I saying this about a grown ass man with a wife and son?! (I was then distracted by that for the first minute and a half 😔)
Only Mircsy can make it feel like i'm watching it for the first time with the unique character designs and details, cause Ody being tied up added LAYERS to the situation. This had me on the edge of my seat like I haven't watched it before. And Aeolus and the minions were so adorable I love it😭
don't u just love it when a song has an "EPIC" beginning but has a tragic ending?
I honestly love the design. I also like how they tied Odysseus to the ship.
Oh WOW!!! This was TERRIFIC!!!! Ody’s hand bound to the tiller… Eurilochus trying to take the bag away when Odysseus was tired… *chef’s kiss*!!! ❤️❤️❤️please, more!!!
I love the crew designs! I've seen your mythology inspired Diomedes and Odysseus before, so spotting them on the ship was so funny! I loved it!
I absolutely LOVE your designs for all to these characters!! The mask on Athena until she was named, the monstrous look of Polythemus/cyclops, how Posiden IS WATER grabbing at Ody and his mask reminding us he IS Polythemus' father which has me hoping to see him unmasked in 'Ruthlessness' should you make it. Wonderfully done animatic!!!
Well Dam. theres so many lil details n great movements in this. I can't wait to see your other animatics. From February and just to think you could have gotten it done before then this is great work. The fact that he fell overboard with the bag and the only reason why it seems like Poseidon found him is because he fell into the water
THAT LOOK ON POSEIDON!!!
I love how the crown/mask has some recognizable freatures to Polyphemus!
Ok, that Wet Hades design is sick ngl
I love how the lotus eaters/ winions have become the greek chorus for these animatics. They just show up to hype the vibe. :)
I love how the lotus eater gets more time then polites
Omg the carved owl signifying Athena at the front of the ship is CHEF'S KISS
1:03 the lotus eater smiling is precious
Have we lost our little companion to Aeolus’ winions?
This is GORGEOUS omg!!! I love your artwork, and the way you depicted Odysseus' dream was so haunting and well done. I also have to mention how horrifying your version of Poseidon is. Like, he is so perfectly scary and has me worried for Odysseus all over again, hehe. Great job, I'm always so excited when I see you've posted a new animatic tbh :3
Yooo, that was so rad!! And the dream sequence!! AND THEN POSEIDON AT THE END WOOOOOOOOOO!!!
The whole thing is just fantastic BUT THE END?? HELLO??? Ody falling off the ship and THEN POSEIDON?????
I need a moment to actually process this before sending it to. To literally all my friends, epic fan or not, thank you very much.
I've been obsessed with your animatics for quite a bit now, mainly the EPIC ones and I think I understand why.
You're attention to detail when it comes to how the song is playing out. You put so much effort into the small things and take such unique and creative twists with your videos that I can't help but rewatch them over and over.
Keep up the good work!!!
I love it ❤❤❤❤. They all look so good. And Aeolus interactions with Ody are so expressive, it's wonderful😁
The blush omg i love how he prepared himself with the deep breath at the beginning too! And her claws under water ahhh
If you do a ruthlessness animation I’d be so excited to see it. As your Poseidon looks Soo cool
2:40
Well looks like odysseus has a thing for glasses😏
It's so good! I've got it bookmarked now :)
The attention to detail to include the scar on his leg is an excellent touch. And giving Penelope glasses!
I love how the gem of his mask resembles the placement of the Cyclops's Eye
The amount of detail in the crew and all their different reactions to "We'll try" (and just over all) is way too great to only be shown for a second!! incredible animatic
If they release the animatic, you gotta shout YESSIR
Your bag to the landscape transition was so cool!!!!
yet again the matching necklaces Odysseus and Penelope have break my heart. This is amazing, I love your style sooooo much.
The fact they tied him to the ship to keep him in place also may have made me sob
I love the added detail of having no one specifically close to the bag when Odysseus sees it open! So the reveal later would seem less obvious
if that detail wasn't on purpose its still really good 🥰 and the winions are perfection!
I loved the owl detail on the front of the boat, makes sense that he'd pay homage to his divine patron like that!
SO PERFECT!!! Also Poseidon's looks are sooo good! Great job as always! ❤
The gods really do like tossing Ody around like a ragdoll huh 😂
His dream sequence will always crush my heart. The desperation to get to them. Asking why won't they let him embrace them. Crying out that he's the same.
_My heart_
Posidons helmet looking like a cyclops is brilliant!
I just found you videos for this saga and every single one is full of details that make the story make more sense and complement it perfectly. Every time I watch it I keep discovering things.
