AWHHH Hera shielding them from the blast and then laying her hand over Ares when he reaches out in worry, that's such a cute detail :((( also i love Zeus actually being worried, I mean Athena is his favorite if I remember. BUT MAAAAN this was so good and I just loved everyone's designs. Especially Athena when she gets pissed off and turns into half an owl, but Hera too.. oh she's gorgeous
Yeah, she's his favorite. When I got to know this I was actually like "damn, then I don't want to know how others are doing if that's what he's doing to his favourite💀
I love how you made Zeus show worry and slight guilt in this in others he either doesn't care or just doesn't think about it only one other showed him surprised she was pleading and kind of worried about her but this one was amazing!!! And the way Hera kind of looked frustrated and sad when Athena said "never once had he cheated on his wife" shows that she did love him but hated what he was doing I LOVE IT IT'S AMAZING!!!!!!!
@@-whitelily-1780And also the way she looks when he's about to strike Athena with lightning? She knows what he's going to do, she probably seen him like that several times before, she knows his temper, she's not trying to stop him.
i can't get over how nicely you showed that gods care for each other - apollo's boyfriend showing up, aphrodite reaching out with vines to stop athena, apollo hiding behind hepheastous and aphrodite and ares hugging, hera shielding the others and sort of conforting ares and obviously zeus realizing he just shot his fave kid and crying while cradling her body, athena meeting baby telemachus there's just so many feelings! and i love that so, so much!

It’s also a great callback to The Horse and the Infant where he says Ody has to make a sacrifice to protect his family. At first Zeus probably feels like he’s fighting against Athena to keep her from challenging his power similar to Ody having to kill the infant to protect his.

I'm glad you liked that scene! As you mentioned, Athena is his daughter at the end of the day, regardless of the circumstances. So I felt the need to make Zeus a caring figure because I like to believe he's a decent dad even though he is a terrible husband.
@@noir.hyacinth I appreciate the depiction of him being even slightly redeemable but in Myth he was far from it. Athena was definitely his favorite child but Zeus was much like his father in that he did what he wanted when he wanted regardless of the consequences, plus Athena was born from his head after he consumed her mother while she was pregnant with Athena because he heard a prophesy that the child would rise up against him. Just like his father did with his siblings.
I was trying to find this comment in there. I was like “is that hyacinthus?” “That was hyacinthus,right?” “So nobody is going to talk about the fact that hyacinthus is there?” BUT YOU DID. You made my day. I love this little detail that was added
It's at least backstage canon that he has his own form of quick thought, though more suited to his domain, though Jorge has yet to provide a name for it. Most of the time I've seen it referred to as quick fight, or variations of that kind.
5:14 Zeus is really worried about what he did to Athena. She is his favorite child, and the fact that he didn't do anything to her in the book, moves me even more. He became furious by her words about his infidelity while convincing Hera, but this quickly disappeared when he realized what he had done to his daughter
The descriptions of the gods for their introductions 😂 “Loved her ship so much she caused a war.” The little details in this are so cool. Also, can we just talk about the detail of having Ganymede there? If only Zeus was that nice of a father… What would his description say?
@@SingingSpock @cjkadar2832 Dang. It’s been so long. I forgot that’s the whole reason behind the Trojan War… I remembered Athena was in there somewhere, but not the specifics. Nice reference, Noir, and good on y’all for catching it XD
I love how all the gods have characteristics of their symbols/animals. Athena with the owl claws on her fingers and her robes forming akin to a birds tail behind her, Zeus with his beard like the clouds, Apollo with the sun motiv all over his skin, Aphrodite with her roses and hearts, Ares with those spikes on his knuckles, and Hera with the peacock feathers! I especially loved that when she pulled off that headscarf her hair puffed up like a peacock's tail. ^_^
Okay, it's official; favorite animatic for this song. We get lil Ganymede and Hyacinths cameos, we get BUNJI AND BUNXIAN DON'T THINK I DIDN'T NOTICE, we get Ares with a pelt cape (the Greeks saw Ares as the bloody, barbaric aspect of war so it matches), we see Aphrodite trying to help her lover (one of her titles is 'Warlike Aphrodite' and 'She who weares armor' so she HAS fighting aspects), Athena bleed ichor like she's SUPPOSED to as a god, and we see Zeus realize 'oh shit, I went too far!' and be concerned (because to be blunt, the last bit of the song always struck me as ooc to both mythology Zeus and even within the Epic canon. He can be dramatic and an ass... but Athena did as told and Zeus - ultimatly - doesn't have much of a beef with Ody so why??? the sudden hostility???). 10 outta 10!
@@HellIsForeverWithInfinite omg that makes sooo much sense, "To make me feel shame!" He's a God he should instantly be better than any mortal and yet (in Epic at least... although in mythos what Ody did wasn't considered cheating too) here some fking human is having goddesses throw themselves at him and he says: I love my wife too much... and I *will* uphold the promise of our marriage bed. (iykyk)
You know I'm honestly surprised how many people noticed the WangXian bunnies, but can I just say how much I love the overlap between MDZS fans and Epic fans? Yes, had to throw Hyacinth in there, after all he makes up half of my username.
Interesting fact I learned while watching one of Luke’s streams. The main reason Zeus gets so pissed here is because Athena used his infidelity to win Hera’s vote. “You dare _to defy me.”_ “To make me _feel shame._ “ I still don’t think he would’ve been willing to let Odysseus go if she hadn’t used him to win Hera, even though she won, but there’s a little tid bit of info for y’all.
@@-whitelily-1780 I really love when people make her chucky, I think it's fine if people draw her skinny but I personally think she's looks a lot cuter when people make her chubby^_^
@@Kittylovespaws i think this animatic does it really well, becuase its also showing alot of her skin despite it, showing how shes not only the love goddess in the aspect of romance, but also love for yourself and your body
FINALLY SOMEONE DID ONE WITH ZEUS ACTUALLY HAVING REMORSE. He would TOTALLY regret his actions towards his FAVORITE CHILD, not even just daughter, she is the FAVORITE IN GENERAL, so even punishing her would bring him hurt because she is from his hubris.
@@youngmultiverser9311 Jason cheated on his wife (medea) who Hera personally asked Aphrodite to make her fall in love with. Jason loves Medea but not as much as his overall goal to reclaim his power (he was trying to be wed to another princess to regain his power/status even if him and medea swore an oath/ married to one another which is a big NO NO to Hera due to her being the goddess of marriage and such.) To know the full story I suggest look through ‘overly sarcastic productions’ they have a summarized version of the myth itself
@@youngmultiverser9311 Hera is goddess of marriage. And well after his quest was complete and he through some shenanigans wasn't allowed throne he desire, when he and Medea came to other place he started to flirt with the princess from there wanting to make her his new wife when keeping Medea as concubine. (At that point he and Medea already had two childs). And well... Hera was assisting him on almost all the steps with the journey on Argo so making two thing she despite the most, cheating and trying to find the way off with his words made her despice him.
3:21 I love that detail.Jason and the golden fleace reference.As he was Heras favourite hero.His Ending was tragic.She wants to know what makes Oddyseus worthy of a happy ending when her dear Jason didnt.Is that it? Or am I overthinking it.
I think she clawed at it because Jason ultimately betrayed her hopes, he cheated on Medea and broke a solemn oath in the process, so Jason if anything is an anger inducing memory.
I love how you drew Athena during her rebuttal against Ares. 2:52 I never once thought of her being so enraged by Ares’ words that she went feral and psychotic. You did a great job at bringing that out at the end when she said “he’ll get back to his home and make everybody bleed.” I even got a little terrified by that.
2:10 I really hope Aphrodite chose the apple specifically to spite Athena considering how Athena hated Troy so much for Paris' choice. And Aphrodite and Ares are so cute! 3:21 Hera having an afro? Sign me up! And I love how she claw at the depiction of Jason, it make sense since Jason was her champion but proved to be a cheating prick of a husband and a oathbreaker. And Zeus completely losing his smugness at seeing Athena's pain at the end is one of the best things done! While what he did was awful, Athena is still his beloved daughter, so obviously he would be worried after his wrath flared. I loved all of this animatic, bravo!
Hero having an afro even sort of makes sense, as in the Aniad, Carthage (which is in africa) was stated to be her (or well Juno's but Rome be like that) sacred city.
@@Omegamatt13Eh, the aeneid is not a good argument for it since it was a propaganda book, also, Carthage was on the Mediterranean coast and the greeks spread all across the Mediterranean. I don't know if Ovid is the one who made Carthage out to be Juno's sacred city, but Hera's sacred cities were Mycenae, Tiryns and Argos.
Yeah Hera has good reason to feel bitter over heroes after that debacle. She was his patron who helped him through many obstacles, and in turn he abandoned his wife Medea and their two sons for a younger woman, practically spitting on her godly domain of marriage. Of course she hears about Odysseus being faithful for twenty years and demands he be released.
I love how Hera masks her obvious hatred for Zeus' heroes in the first Hera scene when she scratches out an image on a hero on the wall, but keeping up a calm facade - showing off her attempt at looking perfectly fine emotionally - and physically, as ugly emotions are said(especially to women) to be ugly.
It’s quick thought on quick thought. Simply put, it’s his intense and raw emotion who, even if for a moment, takes over her purely strategic and tactical thinking, which only lasts for a moment because emotions wear off quick while a mindset in itself doesn’t.
I love how much thought this animation puts into unmentioned myths. Ganymede pouring Zeus' wine. The giant Talos is Hephaestus' background. Hera scratching out Jason holding the golden fleece. Aphrodite having the Apples after what Paris chose. The guy who exits the curtain in Apollos song doesn't have enough identifiers but I'm sure he's somebody. (EDIT) It is likely Hyacinthus, but Apollo has myths with multiple Roman emperors, like 3 different guys, and Daphne, where he first invented the lauryl wreath that the guy is wearing.
@@taetaejinny9083 The flower was made after he was dead, so it could just be one of the emperors wearing Daphne's leaf hat and Hyacinthus' flowers. but yeah its hyacinthus
The God introductions are AMAZING! I especially love @0:52- Apollo truly is a bi-disaster and we love him for it. This is now one of my favorite animatics in all the fandom. Your character designs are GORGEOUS! I LOVE Apollo and Hera’s designs especially. I love how you did the ending too. My heart melted when I saw baby Telemachus open his eyes and look at Athena, and melted further when I saw it transition to his adult self. My favorite part- and probably the most unique- was the ending. I LOVE that Zeus was remorseful. It shows his character PERFECTLY (at least in terms of his relationship with Athena). His pettiness, vanity and terrible temper causes harm, especially to those he wishes to hurt the least- such as his favorite daughter, Athena. Great job!
Yas! so happy you love Apollo and Hera's designs!! Hera was especially fun to draw because of her gorgeous hair. Also, really happy ya liked the ending with Zeus holding Athena. I actually considered ending it when she faints but I felt like I needed to redeem Zeus in some way.
I love the designs sm. AND THE INTRODUCTION LMFAO THE NOSTALGIA HELP. Love how you also included the audience in Apollo's part omg. Hephy's fire is epic as well. Aphrodite holding an apple, chef's kiss
Yay! Super happy that you love the designs! Really glad you noticed Athena's wings flapping, I feel like they can convey a lot of emotions which made me really excited to draw them. Once again, thank you for commenting! I always look forward to your comments 😊
@@noir.hyacinth Hfjogog, I'm happy and flattered to know you look forward to my comments! I also do look forward to your content, it makes me happy whenever you post
Love the animals the gods represent, I was so hyped when Athena went full owl mode in Ares 😂 2:03 I'm not sure if this was intentional but the two bunnies look so much like Wangxian
HOLY MOLY!!! This has got to be my favourite animatic for God Games!! The designs are beautiful and I love the emotions and characteristics they have that you've designed! This was absolutely amazing!!
YOOO IT'S HEREEE!!! 0:18 I love athena's design in general but the owl-like claws are fantasic 0:32 the lil thunder goin off in his eyes 0:40 i know that cup guy!!! 0:51 yeah the description fits the character, he's a goddamn twink. Idk why you have such a way with hair in general but it's always so unique and detailed 1:00 aphrodite the ultimate shipper lol. Also i love tahr u made her chubby, it fits ancient grece beauty standards 1:06 hera clearly doesn't wanna be here lol 1:20 i like the lyre and the fact that he's in an ancient greece theatre also the mask is very fitting 1:34 apollo is built like a twink and who us that guy? Hyacintus? Idk 2:02 Bunniessss 2:13 i thought that the thing athena had on her wrist was a watch but no it was to hold her armor and i feel so stupid lol 2:22 WHY IS APHRODITE SO SHORT OMG LOL SHE SO TINY IMMA PUT HER IN MY POCKET 2:33 i like the design. He looks like a barbarian.jpg. very barbarian of him 3:02 OMG HARPY ATHENA IS SOOOO COOL I'D... like to be ares there thanks Also once again. Nice haircut girlie 3:09 gurl. Therapy pls. That's psichopathic behaviour 3:12 ares is so fine tho (he looks so much like the original va) 3:21 the peacocks screamin lol, also she really has the vibes of a jazz queen 3:22 i think the guy is Jason. Cause he had the golden fleet or howhever is called and i can totally understand why hera is mad at him lol 3:29 they both look like absolute girlbosses 3:48 i want more harpy athena pls 4:03 i like that thunder is just his pet eagle lol his lil familial 4:11 hera knows 4:19 hera protecting the kidsss 4:28 i feel like she's gonna keep that scar in next sagas too lol, it looks absolutely rad 4:38 this is so cute i went like awwwwww 4:52 oh ok no fight this is nice too 5:03 what's this zeus havin a heart? 5:14 i understand after all, athena is his golden child so yeah makes sense
You have no idea how excited I've been to read your comment for this one! It's one of the main reasons I finished it instead of abandoning it. Also you got all the references!!! Congrats! Cup guy is Ganymede and yes that is Hyacinth. Yes, Athena is keeping the scars. No matter how much it will pain me to draw them....
@@noir.hyacinth omg woowww how did i become so important for someone's creative process just by leavin a few comments???

Really, your style is very unique and hella detailed idk how tf you manage but the result is fantastic. Luv ya luv ya dear! Sendin positive vibes ur wayyyy P.s. what will your next project be? Maybe a song of the previous sagas? Or are you gonna wait for the new saga?
@@gaga.markez I kinda wanna wait for the next saga, but also, I want to make an animatic for Little Wolf. Or maybe finish up Wouldn't You like since I only had a minute of it left. idk I'm too indecisive.
@@noir.hyacinth u can make a voting pool and ask ppl if ur not sure, but like... i'd suggest to do wouldn't you like cause it's my fav song so yeah, i'm biased, but i think it would be nice to see it all, and also, that way u r gonna be done (prolly?) for when the next saga comes out. Or u can just rest. Ppl need rest too
AHHH I LOVE IT SM!!! The Apollo part was totally my favorite, your style really captured his masculine strength yet feminine beauty simultaneously! And the part with Hera protecting everyone- she can be a jerk, sure, but she deffo gives Mom friend vibes! My favorite animation by far!
I took about half an hour to watch this 5 minutes and 36 second video. So many details in every shot, I just had to keep going back to be able to appreciate it all. masterfully done!
Plus size Aphrodite is so pretty I love it a lot. Your art style is amazing and I love how you include everyone despite who they are, where they come from, their size, sexuality and race. ❤
this animatic is so good the little details are soo cool- the gods’ little micro interactions with each other, the hyacinthus and ganymede cameos, the character designs- ooouu i love it
i love how zeus still has a heart to realize what he has done to his favourite daughter, and how he cradles her,i also love how you make the gods caring for eachother!:3
I literally love everything about this animatic. The designs of the characters and the creativity used with the song. I love how Zeus was actually worried about Athena after he struck her. I especially loved Hera and Athena's design. Amazing work❤❤❤
I totally agree - it didn’t occur to me until I saw this animatic, but if Zeus didn’t regret his actions towards Athena, why would he set Odysseus free?
This. This is the best God Games animatic I've seen so far! The designes, the scenes, it's so sperfect!(Ares is my personal favorite here owo) I just LOVE the way Zeus looks genualy concerned about Athena being horribly injured yet still staying alive, she's his very own daughter for his sake. I LOVE IT. You did a great job:3💖🌺
I just absolutely love this version of the God Games! The way each God has their introduction when Zeus has them show up reminds me of Smash Bros, this version of Athena having pronouced owl traits even in normal form and them becoming more prominent after Ares to show her commitment. Also baby Telemachus grasping her claw is just super sweet with the family flashback. Might have just recently found the channel through this but I'm sticking around to see everything else, hope anyone reading has a good day and amazing job to Noir for the passion emanating from everything, seriously I feel like I could watch this for an eternity and not stop loving every little moment and detail!
I love everything about this, especially the one-liners for the introductions of everyone 🤣 I love the colours and the designs, Athena’s train looking like an owl tail 🦉Amazing animatic!!! ❤❤❤
This animatic has so many ships in it and I'm here for it! Ganymede and Zeus? Ares And Aphrodite? APOLLO AND OUR FAVORITE FLOWER!? It was so amazing that I clicked the red button without even thinking twice. Keep the great work!
OOHH somebody did their homework!!! I love all the little mythological details: Aphrodite's bunnies and apples, aegis, Hera HATING that idiot Jason, all of it! You know your stuff!
another set of knockout designs of characters Hera is so stylish amazing Job again and Apollo being your favorite Bi-Disaster is way too funny I love it.
4:41 I am squealing at how cute this part is!!!! I love how your design of Athena is based off how humans depict her to be accompanied by an owl since owls represent wisdom and knowledge in folklore. Plus I love how you had Hera have a peacock design since according to mythology, when her bodyguard Argus was killed, Hera placed Argus's hundred eyes in the tail feathers of the peacock.
Ok, first, the designs are amazing. Second, I love so many references to mythology. Third, the simple touches in this animation are so cute. Hera protecting other gods like a good mother; Aphrodite protecting Ares; Ares hugging her; Apollo and Hycintus; even Zeus holding Athena, and many more. I don't know why, but all these little touches made this all more emotional. made them more human
Beautifull just so amazing!!! This tore at my heart and made me have so many feels! Also all the small details in this with the different arguments, ahhhhhh, just wonderful! Also also, could that be 4:47 Pallas that flashed before Athenas eyes after baby Telemachus!!!! If it is thats amazing and heartbreaking at the same time!
supposed to be grown up Telemachus but honestly Pallas would have been such a nice detail. Makes me wonder if that's why she distances herself from others.
OMG I LOVE THIS!! I also love the lightning mark that goes up her arm and into her hair and how it made her eye turn gold, very unique! keep up the amazing work! It would also be soooo cool if you animate other songs from Epic, i just love your artwork!!
For starters, LOVED THIS SHOT 4:27 Loved Hera's and Zeus's design, and Athena's half-owl design. Love how the gods are all shown protecting / caring for each other. Love this whole sequence, starting here 4:49 up to the very end, well done! 😊
This was absolutely ✨amazing✨!!! I like how expressive everyone was, and how there was little references all around. I think those were neat! It was so well made! And the designs are so cool!!! -Azz
Love the nods to mythology, like Athena carrying the Aegis shield or the story of Jason and Medea behind Hera. Also how Hera comforts Ares when he's scared for his sister, and how Zeus cries and hold Athena with a sort of "What have I done to my favorite child?" moment
I actually love this version of god games so much- mostly because of how familial the gods actually feel in this, there’s genuine emotion and action in it, you can almost feel what they are- from expressions, to effects, to body language, seriously I feel like most times people don’t portray the gods this way- which yeah, they likely didn’t want to be there and didn’t really care, but I love so much how in this animation they *do.* From Apollo being skeptical of trusting Ody, to Hephaestus being completely untrusting, to Aphrodite being frustrated and Ares being plain angry, then both in the end having looks of more defeat than annoyance- (side note, can we just TALK about that fight scene? The animation and action was absolutely phenomenal and Athena turning into an Owl was actually such an amazing detail-) then Hera’s was actually so amazing, I love how she went around looking through stories, she was testing Athena, genuinely curious if this hero was really any different from the others- then Zeus in the end being so blinded by rage then realizing his mistake and having an “oh CRAP” moment- AND ATHENA REMEMBERING TELEMACHUS BEING BORN- it seemed like Ody was maybe, getting her blessing? It was a seriously sweet moment and then for the older Telemachus to appear when Legendary played- this entire animation was just ahsbwjsbwjdb
Wow I’m so amazed by how much you love their interactions and facial expressions. I put a lot of thought into each god especially because we’ll probably never see them again so I wanted to make each scene and moment count. Really happy u noticed all that! And thank you so much for taking your time to write such a wonderful comment!! I really appreciate it 😊
@@noir.hyacinth OFC!!! I love noticing the little things and you animators are always so talented, ya’ll deserve to be recognized for the awesome work you do and I love it when someone puts so much detail into a character that we don’t know, it makes em feel a bit more alive, real even!
This was more heartwarming then any other god games animation I’ve seen. I love everything about this and I think it really shows the song in the animation.
@@feniaksfiringsI'm so glad to have an Apollo that I can like after reading so many Greek mythology stories wheres hes just a jerk. Ie. Lore olympus and the journey of dionysus
There's so much I love about this animation! The smash bros intros, the plethora of cameos, Aphrodite taking a split second to try and help Ares, Hera protecting the others and reassuring Ares, and even Zeus feeling regret to the point he sheds a tear! I'm in love!
This was amazing! And the first God Games animatic to make me cry! 😢 I love how Athena is kinda like a harpy of some sorts, like her animal being an owl
This is the first animatic I've seen where Zeus regrets blasting Athena and I love that! The way he reaches out to catch her, realizing that he just nearly killed his favorite kid. Amazing!
@gionathancurry BrittPowelPixel CopperBexx Ramen Noodles Studio JustTheGuy iPromiseImNormal Cannot remember Number 6 (Not in that order) Plus: Astronaut York (Just Recently)
AWHHH Hera shielding them from the blast and then laying her hand over Ares when he reaches out in worry, that's such a cute detail :((( also i love Zeus actually being worried, I mean Athena is his favorite if I remember. BUT MAAAAN this was so good and I just loved everyone's designs. Especially Athena when she gets pissed off and turns into half an owl, but Hera too.. oh she's gorgeous
Yes, I love this version so much!
Yeah, she's his favorite. When I got to know this I was actually like "damn, then I don't want to know how others are doing if that's what he's doing to his favourite💀
Athena is actually his first child and first of the greek pantheon! So yea he's his little girl lol
I love how you made Zeus show worry and slight guilt in this in others he either doesn't care or just doesn't think about it only one other showed him surprised she was pleading and kind of worried about her but this one was amazing!!! And the way Hera kind of looked frustrated and sad when Athena said "never once had he cheated on his wife" shows that she did love him but hated what he was doing I LOVE IT IT'S AMAZING!!!!!!!
@@-whitelily-1780And also the way she looks when he's about to strike Athena with lightning? She knows what he's going to do, she probably seen him like that several times before, she knows his temper, she's not trying to stop him.
i can't get over how nicely you showed that gods care for each other - apollo's boyfriend showing up, aphrodite reaching out with vines to stop athena, apollo hiding behind hepheastous and aphrodite and ares hugging, hera shielding the others and sort of conforting ares and obviously zeus realizing he just shot his fave kid and crying while cradling her body, athena meeting baby telemachus
there's just so many feelings! and i love that so, so much!
yesss!!!
Hera also closes her eyes a bit before Athena gets turned into roasted owl.
Yeah, character interactions is one of the things I love the most and sometimes the littlest of gestures mean the most,. Glad you like this animatic!
Ah poor hycanthis
Until your remember that Aphrodite is married to Hepheastous and she is hugging her lover instead of her husband.
I actually like how Zeus regrets his decision. Like he attacked Athena in a fit of rage and pettiness not really thinking about what he was doing and zapped her with enough cosmic might to kill an Olympian. Then as she gets up weak and wounded. As his Goddess of War gets up weak and wounded. As his daughter gets up weak and wounded he realizes what he's done and worries for her, cries for her even.
It’s also a great callback to The Horse and the Infant where he says Ody has to make a sacrifice to protect his family. At first Zeus probably feels like he’s fighting against Athena to keep her from challenging his power similar to Ody having to kill the infant to protect his. But once Zeus sees that what he ended up doing was smiting his daughter, arguably one of the reasons he fights to preserve his power, he has a moment of clarity where he probably sees how in his mentality he has become the Monster destroying his kingdom and family. And to anyone who knows all the myths about Zeus’ origin knows it’s a pretty big deal, especially as a god forged in heretical generational rivalry
It's well known from the mythology that Athena is his favorite child, too. If he regrets killing any god, it will be her.
I'm glad you liked that scene! As you mentioned, Athena is his daughter at the end of the day, regardless of the circumstances. So I felt the need to make Zeus a caring figure because I like to believe he's a decent dad even though he is a terrible husband.
@@noir.hyacinth I appreciate the depiction of him being even slightly redeemable but in Myth he was far from it. Athena was definitely his favorite child but Zeus was much like his father in that he did what he wanted when he wanted regardless of the consequences, plus Athena was born from his head after he consumed her mother while she was pregnant with Athena because he heard a prophesy that the child would rise up against him. Just like his father did with his siblings.
Loved how that was shown 🥲

I instantly clicked
2:15 Okay I love that Aphrodite took a bite of an apple
2:29 Ares just punching through quick thought
He was so mad, he resumed time😂
Its a very ares thing to do
Aphrodite wanting a certain specific apple to nibble on is what started this whole mess in the first place hahaha.
The apple was SUCH great detail though
It's at least backstage canon that he has his own form of quick thought, though more suited to his domain, though Jorge has yet to provide a name for it. Most of the time I've seen it referred to as quick fight, or variations of that kind.
5:14 Zeus is really worried about what he did to Athena. She is his favorite child, and the fact that he didn't do anything to her in the book, moves me even more. He became furious by her words about his infidelity while convincing Hera, but this quickly disappeared when he realized what he had done to his daughter

“He won’t take no for an answer” 😂
"Women beware"

I had the same thought! 😂
Yea
MXTX/MDZS FAN IN THE WILD 🤩
Okay, it's official; favorite animatic for this song. We get lil Ganymede and Hyacinths cameos, we get BUNJI AND BUNXIAN DON'T THINK I DIDN'T NOTICE, we get Ares with a pelt cape (the Greeks saw Ares as the bloody, barbaric aspect of war so it matches), we see Aphrodite trying to help her lover (one of her titles is 'Warlike Aphrodite' and 'She who weares armor' so she HAS fighting aspects), Athena bleed ichor like she's SUPPOSED to as a god, and we see Zeus realize 'oh shit, I went too far!' and be concerned (because to be blunt, the last bit of the song always struck me as ooc to both mythology Zeus and even within the Epic canon. He can be dramatic and an ass... but Athena did as told and Zeus - ultimatly - doesn't have much of a beef with Ody so why??? the sudden hostility???).
10 outta 10!
The sudden hostility was because of what she used to convince Hera (Confirmed by Zeus's VA)
I highly reccomend checking out Anniflamma's version. Just as awesome
@@HellIsForeverWithInfinite omg that makes sooo much sense, "To make me feel shame!" He's a God he should instantly be better than any mortal and yet (in Epic at least... although in mythos what Ody did wasn't considered cheating too) here some fking human is having goddesses throw themselves at him and he says: I love my wife too much... and I *will* uphold the promise of our marriage bed. (iykyk)
You know I'm honestly surprised how many people noticed the WangXian bunnies, but can I just say how much I love the overlap between MDZS fans and Epic fans? Yes, had to throw Hyacinth in there, after all he makes up half of my username.
@@HellIsForeverWithInfiniteAh. Thank you.
Interesting fact I learned while watching one of Luke’s streams. The main reason Zeus gets so pissed here is because Athena used his infidelity to win Hera’s vote. “You dare _to defy me.”_ “To make me _feel shame._ “ I still don’t think he would’ve been willing to let Odysseus go if she hadn’t used him to win Hera, even though she won, but there’s a little tid bit of info for y’all.
huh I didn't know that. Thanks for the info!
Oh yeah I saw this on a reddit post too
Does that make him more petty or a hypocrite?
4:13
that hera face makes me think she's thinking "well typical Zeus...nice knowing you Athena"
I love how Aphrodite has a little chub on her belly, because in real life the stature of her had it as well.
She was a thick lady and we luv it
@@natchi886 For real
Yeah in all the other animatics they make her skinny but she's supposed to be chubby, she's chunky goddess and we love her!!!!
@@-whitelily-1780 I really love when people make her chucky, I think it's fine if people draw her skinny but I personally think she's looks a lot cuter when people make her chubby^_^
@@Kittylovespaws i think this animatic does it really well, becuase its also showing alot of her skin despite it, showing how shes not only the love goddess in the aspect of romance, but also love for yourself and your body
3:36 I like how Athena uses the one thing Hera hates to win her vote against Zeus 😂😂😂
It does make sense given the fact that Hera is the goddess of marriage and also taking into account all the affairs Zeus has had.
Oh my god love the Smash Bros character intro for all of them so much
"Zeus's least favorite war god"
It's true. Glad you got the reference!
FINALLY SOMEONE DID ONE WITH ZEUS ACTUALLY HAVING REMORSE. He would TOTALLY regret his actions towards his FAVORITE CHILD, not even just daughter, she is the FAVORITE IN GENERAL, so even punishing her would bring him hurt because she is from his hubris.
Actually, mythological Zeus would totally not care. Dude was all of the “-opaths”
Omg!!! I love how you made Zeus to cry and Ody back hugging Penelope! I think this is more sad than the actual scene😭
Yeah I need more Ody and Penelope in my life so I needed to draw them being all happy to even out all the pain in this saga. 🥲
@noir.hyacinth yeah it gave me anger and sadness
IM STILL FANGIRLING OVER HEPHAESTUS
ares with that kool-aid man ahh entrance 😭
not the kool-aid man entrance 🤣 Hadn't even crossed my mind

Can’t unhear it 😭
I will never unheard that
Bro now I can't unhear It!!!
🤣😭LOL I CAN'T EVER UNHEAR IT
Ahhhhhhhh, Hera scratching the picture of Jason is soooo nice
Yeah. I always in that part imagined that somewhere in the background is Jason ("Hera's Hero") who failed her miserly.
How did he fail?
@@youngmultiverser9311 He broke Medea's heart.
@@youngmultiverser9311 Jason cheated on his wife (medea) who Hera personally asked Aphrodite to make her fall in love with. Jason loves Medea but not as much as his overall goal to reclaim his power (he was trying to be wed to another princess to regain his power/status even if him and medea swore an oath/ married to one another which is a big NO NO to Hera due to her being the goddess of marriage and such.)
To know the full story I suggest look through ‘overly sarcastic productions’ they have a summarized version of the myth itself
@@youngmultiverser9311 Hera is goddess of marriage. And well after his quest was complete and he through some shenanigans wasn't allowed throne he desire, when he and Medea came to other place he started to flirt with the princess from there wanting to make her his new wife when keeping Medea as concubine. (At that point he and Medea already had two childs). And well... Hera was assisting him on almost all the steps with the journey on Argo so making two thing she despite the most, cheating and trying to find the way off with his words made her despice him.
3:21 I love that detail.Jason and the golden fleace reference.As he was Heras favourite hero.His Ending was tragic.She wants to know what makes Oddyseus worthy of a happy ending when her dear Jason didnt.Is that it? Or am I overthinking it.
I think she clawed at it because Jason ultimately betrayed her hopes, he cheated on Medea and broke a solemn oath in the process, so Jason if anything is an anger inducing memory.
"Tragic" and "dear Jason" are _wild_ descriptors for the goddess of marriage's opinions on a cheating husband
I love how you drew Athena during her rebuttal against Ares. 2:52 I never once thought of her being so enraged by Ares’ words that she went feral and psychotic. You did a great job at bringing that out at the end when she said “he’ll get back to his home and make everybody bleed.” I even got a little terrified by that.
I love a little psychotic moment.
Zeus realizing he almost killed his daughter and regrets striking her made me cry.
Glad it had the impact I wanted it to : )
2:10 I really hope Aphrodite chose the apple specifically to spite Athena considering how Athena hated Troy so much for Paris' choice.
And Aphrodite and Ares are so cute!
3:21 Hera having an afro? Sign me up!
And I love how she claw at the depiction of Jason, it make sense since Jason was her champion but proved to be a cheating prick of a husband and a oathbreaker.
And Zeus completely losing his smugness at seeing Athena's pain at the end is one of the best things done! While what he did was awful, Athena is still his beloved daughter, so obviously he would be worried after his wrath flared.
I loved all of this animatic, bravo!
Hero having an afro even sort of makes sense, as in the Aniad, Carthage (which is in africa) was stated to be her (or well Juno's but Rome be like that) sacred city.
@@Omegamatt13Eh, the aeneid is not a good argument for it since it was a propaganda book, also, Carthage was on the Mediterranean coast and the greeks spread all across the Mediterranean.
I don't know if Ovid is the one who made Carthage out to be Juno's sacred city, but Hera's sacred cities were Mycenae, Tiryns and Argos.
She should've looked at Zeus looking like she's pissed off when Athena said he never cheated on his wife
Yes, the Apple was delibrate; feel like Aphrodite is petty like that. Love your description of Jason and 100% agree.
3:22 is that Jason and Medea I see👀 The two mortals Hera is known to have a history with
Honestly seeing that made this put it as the best God Games Animatic instantly
Yes, it is them!!
Yeah Hera has good reason to feel bitter over heroes after that debacle. She was his patron who helped him through many obstacles, and in turn he abandoned his wife Medea and their two sons for a younger woman, practically spitting on her godly domain of marriage. Of course she hears about Odysseus being faithful for twenty years and demands he be released.
Is no one gunna mension Genymade zues's cupbearer? (Another lover of his this time a young beautiful prince)
Also the representation of the aquarius constellation
I wanna be him so bad…I mean uhm..what?
@@MommaBs_favorite Mood
I love how Hera masks her obvious hatred for Zeus' heroes in the first Hera scene when she scratches out an image on a hero on the wall, but keeping up a calm facade - showing off her attempt at looking perfectly fine emotionally - and physically, as ugly emotions are said(especially to women) to be ugly.
I just love her just undoing the scarf around her head for her hair to just pop out like that
1:36 THE STARE AT EACH OTHER😭😭😭😭

YEESSSSS
LMAO APHRODITE'S SURPRISED FACE WHEN ARES APPEARED
Bro just said "nah, I'm built different" and broke through Quick Thought
It’s quick thought on quick thought. Simply put, it’s his intense and raw emotion who, even if for a moment, takes over her purely strategic and tactical thinking, which only lasts for a moment because emotions wear off quick while a mindset in itself doesn’t.
I love how much thought this animation puts into unmentioned myths.
Ganymede pouring Zeus' wine.
The giant Talos is Hephaestus' background.
Hera scratching out Jason holding the golden fleece.
Aphrodite having the Apples after what Paris chose.
The guy who exits the curtain in Apollos song doesn't have enough identifiers but I'm sure he's somebody.
(EDIT) It is likely Hyacinthus, but Apollo has myths with multiple Roman emperors, like 3 different guys, and Daphne, where he first invented the lauryl wreath that the guy is wearing.
I think it's Hyacinthus, he's holding flowers. What do you think about that ?
@@taetaejinny9083 The flower was made after he was dead, so it could just be one of the emperors wearing Daphne's leaf hat and Hyacinthus' flowers.
but yeah its hyacinthus
Yes, he's Hyacinth! He's what I named my username after, so of course I needed to add him in at some point.
3:22
OMGOD JASON AND MEDEA! YOU REFERENCED THEM!!!!!!!!! 🤩
The God introductions are AMAZING! I especially love @0:52- Apollo truly is a bi-disaster and we love him for it.
This is now one of my favorite animatics in all the fandom. Your character designs are GORGEOUS! I LOVE Apollo and Hera’s designs especially. I love how you did the ending too. My heart melted when I saw baby Telemachus open his eyes and look at Athena, and melted further when I saw it transition to his adult self.
My favorite part- and probably the most unique- was the ending. I LOVE that Zeus was remorseful. It shows his character PERFECTLY (at least in terms of his relationship with Athena). His pettiness, vanity and terrible temper causes harm, especially to those he wishes to hurt the least- such as his favorite daughter, Athena. Great job!
Yas! so happy you love Apollo and Hera's designs!! Hera was especially fun to draw because of her gorgeous hair. Also, really happy ya liked the ending with Zeus holding Athena. I actually considered ending it when she faints but I felt like I needed to redeem Zeus in some way.
OMG THE WANGXIAN RABBITS 2:06 I JUST LOVE ITT
2:00
OMG IS THAT A MDZS REFERENCE??
YES. I couldn't resist.
OMG IT ISSSSS
Thought the same 😍❤️💙
I love the designs sm. AND THE INTRODUCTION LMFAO THE NOSTALGIA HELP. Love how you also included the audience in Apollo's part omg. Hephy's fire is epic as well. Aphrodite holding an apple, chef's kiss
Yay! Super happy that you love the designs! Really glad you noticed Athena's wings flapping, I feel like they can convey a lot of emotions which made me really excited to draw them. Once again, thank you for commenting! I always look forward to your comments 😊
@@noir.hyacinth Hfjogog, I'm happy and flattered to know you look forward to my comments! I also do look forward to your content, it makes me happy whenever you post

2:03
I'm not sure if this was intentional but the two bunnies look so much like Wangxian
yes it do be wangxian. You are clearly a person with great taste
HOLY MOLY!!! This has got to be my favourite animatic for God Games!! The designs are beautiful and I love the emotions and characteristics they have that you've designed! This was absolutely amazing!!
Thank You!

1:00 aphrodite the ultimate shipper lol. Also i love tahr u made her chubby, it fits ancient grece beauty standards
1:06 hera clearly doesn't wanna be here lol
1:20 i like the lyre and the fact that he's in an ancient greece theatre also the mask is very fitting
1:34 apollo is built like a twink and who us that guy? Hyacintus? Idk
2:02 Bunniessss

2:22 WHY IS APHRODITE SO SHORT OMG LOL SHE SO TINY IMMA PUT HER IN MY POCKET
2:33 i like the design. He looks like a barbarian.jpg. very barbarian of him

You have no idea how excited I've been to read your comment for this one! It's one of the main reasons I finished it instead of abandoning it. Also you got all the references!!! Congrats!

AHHH I LOVE IT SM!!! The Apollo part was totally my favorite, your style really captured his masculine strength yet feminine beauty simultaneously! And the part with Hera protecting everyone- she can be a jerk, sure, but she deffo gives Mom friend vibes! My favorite animation by far!
I took about half an hour to watch this 5 minutes and 36 second video. So many details in every shot, I just had to keep going back to be able to appreciate it all. masterfully done!
Thank You for spending so much time watching it! I really appreciate it! Makes me happy that I spent so much time on this.
Omg, I love the design for Athena, I'm really digging the short hair with the long bangs and this frame is so cool 3:09
Not the Yamcha pose!! 4:23 Love this animatic! xD
My sister said I made that scene too dramatic, now I'm thinking she was right 😂
His name is Yamucha not yamcha
Plus size Aphrodite is so pretty I love it a lot. Your art style is amazing and I love how you include everyone despite who they are, where they come from, their size, sexuality and race. ❤
this animatic is so good the little details are soo cool- the gods’ little micro interactions with each other, the hyacinthus and ganymede cameos, the character designs- ooouu i love it
i love how zeus still has a heart to realize what he has done to his favourite daughter, and how he cradles her,i also love how you make the gods caring for eachother!:3
THE BUNNIES!!! WANGXIAN I LOVE THIS
I literally love everything about this animatic. The designs of the characters and the creativity used with the song. I love how Zeus was actually worried about Athena after he struck her. I especially loved Hera and Athena's design. Amazing work❤❤❤
I totally agree - it didn’t occur to me until I saw this animatic, but if Zeus didn’t regret his actions towards Athena, why would he set Odysseus free?
I love Hera’s hair and how it bounces when she takes the cloth off :)
I love the names you gave each god and I loved the fact Aphrodite tried to help Ares win his fight with Athena
1:24 THAT SIREN MASK IS SO COOL! And creepy.
Also, I am totally taking the gods' descriptions as canon now XD
i love the small Hyperion's bull on Athena hand when she talk to Hephaestus. so accurate, never seen anyone make this detail in tĥeir animatics!
This. This is the best God Games animatic I've seen so far! The designes, the scenes, it's so sperfect!(Ares is my personal favorite here owo) I just LOVE the way Zeus looks genualy concerned about Athena being horribly injured yet still staying alive, she's his very own daughter for his sake. I LOVE IT. You did a great job:3💖🌺
Thank You!!
I just absolutely love this version of the God Games! The way each God has their introduction when Zeus has them show up reminds me of Smash Bros, this version of Athena having pronouced owl traits even in normal form and them becoming more prominent after Ares to show her commitment. Also baby Telemachus grasping her claw is just super sweet with the family flashback. Might have just recently found the channel through this but I'm sticking around to see everything else, hope anyone reading has a good day and amazing job to Noir for the passion emanating from everything, seriously I feel like I could watch this for an eternity and not stop loving every little moment and detail!
The intros are definetly a reference to Smash! And thank you for the compliments!! So glad you noticed all those little details!
I love everything about this, especially the one-liners for the introductions of everyone 🤣 I love the colours and the designs, Athena’s train looking like an owl tail 🦉Amazing animatic!!! ❤❤❤

Poor uncle Hort 😔
OOHH somebody did their homework!!! I love all the little mythological details: Aphrodite's bunnies and apples, aegis, Hera HATING that idiot Jason, all of it! You know your stuff!
Literally. Took a class back in freshman year all about Greek mythology. Glad it came in useful!
another set of knockout designs of characters Hera is so stylish amazing Job again and Apollo being your favorite Bi-Disaster is way too funny I love it.
2:06 THE BUNNYS. DO THEY REP WHO I THINK THEY DO? WANGXIAN?
Yes!!
4:41
I am squealing at how cute this part is!!!!
I love how your design of Athena is based off how humans depict her to be accompanied by an owl since owls represent wisdom and knowledge in folklore.
Plus I love how you had Hera have a peacock design since according to mythology, when her bodyguard Argus was killed, Hera placed Argus's hundred eyes in the tail feathers of the peacock.
Ok, first, the designs are amazing. Second, I love so many references to mythology. Third, the simple touches in this animation are so cute. Hera protecting other gods like a good mother; Aphrodite protecting Ares; Ares hugging her; Apollo and Hycintus; even Zeus holding Athena, and many more. I don't know why, but all these little touches made this all more emotional. made them more human
Yay, really happy you noticed all the little gestures and character interactions!!
Beautifull just so amazing!!! This tore at my heart and made me have so many feels! Also all the small details in this with the different arguments, ahhhhhh, just wonderful! Also also, could that be 4:47 Pallas that flashed before Athenas eyes after baby Telemachus!!!! If it is thats amazing and heartbreaking at the same time!
supposed to be grown up Telemachus but honestly Pallas would have been such a nice detail. Makes me wonder if that's why she distances herself from others.
OMG I LOVE THIS!! I also love the lightning mark that goes up her arm and into her hair and how it made her eye turn gold, very unique! keep up the amazing work! It would also be soooo cool if you animate other songs from Epic, i just love your artwork!!

For starters, LOVED THIS SHOT 4:27
Loved Hera's and Zeus's design, and Athena's half-owl design.
Love how the gods are all shown protecting / caring for each other.
Love this whole sequence, starting here 4:49 up to the very end, well done! 😊
This was absolutely ✨amazing✨!!! I like how expressive everyone was, and how there was little references all around. I think those were neat! It was so well made! And the designs are so cool!!!
-Azz
I just love the Smash Bros styled introductions for the gods
Love the nods to mythology, like Athena carrying the Aegis shield or the story of Jason and Medea behind Hera.
Also how Hera comforts Ares when he's scared for his sister, and how Zeus cries and hold Athena with a sort of "What have I done to my favorite child?" moment
Your Hera and Apollo designs reconfigured my brain chemistry holy mackerel
Absolutely gorgeous designs instant like and favorite
I actually love this version of god games so much- mostly because of how familial the gods actually feel in this, there’s genuine emotion and action in it, you can almost feel what they are- from expressions, to effects, to body language, seriously I feel like most times people don’t portray the gods this way- which yeah, they likely didn’t want to be there and didn’t really care, but I love so much how in this animation they *do.*
From Apollo being skeptical of trusting Ody, to Hephaestus being completely untrusting, to Aphrodite being frustrated and Ares being plain angry, then both in the end having looks of more defeat than annoyance- (side note, can we just TALK about that fight scene? The animation and action was absolutely phenomenal and Athena turning into an Owl was actually such an amazing detail-) then Hera’s was actually so amazing, I love how she went around looking through stories, she was testing Athena, genuinely curious if this hero was really any different from the others- then Zeus in the end being so blinded by rage then realizing his mistake and having an “oh CRAP” moment-
AND ATHENA REMEMBERING TELEMACHUS BEING BORN- it seemed like Ody was maybe, getting her blessing? It was a seriously sweet moment and then for the older Telemachus to appear when Legendary played- this entire animation was just ahsbwjsbwjdb
Wow I’m so amazed by how much you love their interactions and facial expressions. I put a lot of thought into each god especially because we’ll probably never see them again so I wanted to make each scene and moment count. Really happy u noticed all that! And thank you so much for taking your time to write such a wonderful comment!! I really appreciate it 😊
