I’d like to say here that yes, Epic and the Odyssey are different, but this is simply my interpretation of these events. I also plan on doing “Not Sorry For Loving You” please be respectful 🙏 both the songs and the art are made by people who just like Greek mythology and want to experiment with it.
I actually love how you managed to contrast both what happened in the Odyssey and in Epic, because I've seen many people saying that Odysseus was indeed unfaithful to Penelope because in the Odyssey he did have intimacy with Calypso but I have seen that they do not consider that practically Odysseus was a victim of SA during his stay on the island and as a phrase tell (I do not remember the author) "Odysseus did not have lovers, but abusers" and I love how you balanced the Odyssey and the canon in Epic 😁
@@Oppositebreack2 I think they’re talking about how calypso prayers for someone to be with her on her island that she couldn’t leave and Odysseus came, but he would never love her the way she wants.
@@AshBriano no its the photos that popped up beside them as they sang, with calypso it was fun, playful etc but for Odysseus it showed those same events but how they actually happened, where she was clearly forcing herself on him
I LOVE the attention to detail, how pilotes has an eye with white covering to show he died to the cyclops, his mom had her heart glowing because she died because she was so heartbroken when ody was so close, and Eurylochus has lightning patterns over his face bc he died in thunderbringer THE ATTENTION TO DETAIL IS AMAZING
I’m so glad to see people making Calypso looking genuinely scary! She looks psychotic, and that perfectly represents how she’s treating the situation. She’s desperate yes, but she knows what she’s doing, and That adds so much more effect when she looks threatening. Aside from Calypso everything else looks great as well! Ody looks scared and desperate for an escape which I’m glad was portrayed well too!
@ in mythology you’re probably right, raped girls were considered impure and unchaste even when it wasnt their fault. but epic hera released him when athena said he’d never cheated on his wife so she must agree!!
I love how…Dismissive Calypso is of Odysseus throughout this whole animatic. She is constantly in his space and is trying to touch him all the time. She refuses to respect his space and just wants to always be touching him despite his protest. Even when he literally trying to end his life, she is basically dragging him away. Which isn’t a good idea since he literally having a full PTSD episode. She’s not dragging him away because she doesn’t want to see him get hurt but so she won’t be alone. Her motives save Odysseus is purely selfish, while she did a good thing keeping him alive, he still isn’t happy because he is still trapped there. I love how complex she is despite the horrible things she has done to Odysseus. I also love the little hint that she isn’t happy to be stuck on the island. Calypso is horrible for forcing herself and trapping Odysseus there. Nothing in her past can justify what she has done to Odysseus but she does have a past. She’s a terrible person but you can feel a little bad for her. She’s also stuck on this island and doesn’t want to be alone. However she will do whatever she can to not be alone, even if it hurts Odysseus because she is more focused on loving the idea of Odysseus not of Odysseus himself as a person. This is a such interesting way of portraying Calypso, giving her layers despite the horrible thing she has done. I love this animatic is basically what I am saying.
@@ThePen214 honestly this is probably my favorite portrayal of Calypso and Odysseus without minimizing the others story. I feel people believe they have to “pick a side” when it comes to their dynamic. While Calypso is obliviously in the wrong that doesn’t mean she isn’t complex. I hate her with every fiber of my being but she is such an interesting person. Odysseus’s relationship with her is also interesting to me. While yes she does abuse him, he can feel bad for her. He was with her for 7 years and it’s really hard to not form some kind of bond with someone. It’s not healthy at all but it’s some kind of connection Odysseus would form. It’s all so interesting and this animatic truly does justice how layered their story together is. I honestly wish more people did this, it allows for more conversations about them. Again, Calypso is obliviously a terrible person and no one should undermine that but she is still has layers that add to her actions. Which I feel this animatic does justice. Not painting her is so naive of her actions but also isn’t completely villainous either. It makes “Not Sorry for Loving You” have new layers too. Honestly that’s just amazing storytelling on your end 💜💜💜
One way I also see It is that if Calypso did get cast away to this island when she was very young she would not know how to be with people or what are boundaries. And 100 years of complete isolation would have starved her of physical Contact and affection. Add to that she's an inmortal goddess with power and she holds the power in her dynamic with Ody. Imo its a case of a victim (of neglet) becoming a victimizer (a self absorbed abuser). Of course she could be lying about the whole thing, but with no hints about the contrary, It seems that may be the truth. Doesnt justify the abuse though
lore accurate Calypso be like. I love this take tbh. Also I felt like the song was too "short" given how the timeskip works is very fast and sudden. But with the implied SA, it's perfectly paced. "Youre mine all mine" was the last thing Calypso said before we cut to Athena who's seeing all of this happen as she goes through it. It also just feels so perfectly tragic for both parties. In a way this was a cruel divine punishment on Odysseus and Calypso with Calypso taking advantage of Ody in a situation he truly has no agency. Even freedom in death is denied so all he has is misery. And this animatic might be the first one I've seen Athena cry because she saw how Odysseus got taken advantage of for 7 years straight and how awful it would be to the psyche
Amazing job I see you went with the interpretation of Ody being forced to do these things and the ending with the images of his mom, polities, and Eury in the water and ody wanting to join them made the ending so much worse. I love the tears that you gave Athena it shows she feels his suffering
2:38 oh that is eeeviilll. When I tell you my mouth hug agape in shock when Polites first appeared. I appreciate that you didn’t shy away from the kidnapping. Him vomiting and crying into the bowl. Calypso’s delusions of the events being fuzzier than Odysseus’. Her being broader and taller than him. I’ve never seen an animatic that conveys the events like this.
This is the second time I've seen someone portray Calypso from this antagonizing side AND THE FIRST TIME SOMEONE DOES IT WITH THE SA! The contrasting moments of 2:10-2:13 and 2:43-2:49 show it so clearly! I love it and I'm crying so badly 😭😭
I love love love how you made Athena actually look devastated!! Because even tho she and Ody have their differences and fights, they are still friends and watching someone go through what Ody has is heartbreaking.
I love how in the end you made Athena look so heartbroken on Oddyseus’s behalf, because Athena loves Oddyseus like her son (looking at warrior of the mind), she’s been helping him forever, and she doesn’t want anything to happen to someone she holds so close to her heart, and she knows she can’t do anything yet, not until god games. Amazing attention to detail.
the way calypso physically holds ody back from jumping is such an amazing edition. it highlights the absolutely desperate situation odysseus is in for him to call out to athena. he’s trapped, can’t escape, can’t die, so the only choice he has left is to call out to his old friend
1:42 When I saw this part my mind immediately jumped to that part in the Odyssey (can’t remember the exact quote) that said that every night Calypso would force Odysseus to sleep with her, and every morning he would go and sit on that cliff and stare at the horizon, hoping for a glimpse of smoke from Ithaca, think about his wife, and cry. All day. For seven years. 😬 That’s not what’s happening in that frame, but the feeling is all there. This animatic really captures the feeling that I had when I read the parts with Calypso in the Odyssey (I reeeeeally don’t understand how some can feel bad for her) Fun fact: There’s another part where Hermes comes to tell Calypso to set Odysseus free and she’s like “What?? Why don’t you approve of our relationship?? Is it because he’s mortal? Omg, you gods are scandalized so easilyyy” and he’s like “ummm no, that’s not why we don’t approve, can’t you see, he’s CLEARLY unhappy *gesturing to the crying Odysseus sitting on the cliff edge*” and she’s like “UGGGGGGHHHHHH fine”
The sympathy is from the fact she's as much a cursed prisoner as he is. Cursed to linger alone, she loves all who arrive, yet her love is never returned, and they always leave, an endless cycle of love at first sight and inevitable heartbreak.
I love how you used her hair to help show her power.But then on her face, she had that very light reassuring smile. Then showing how each person he cared how they died. You have broken my heart.
this is so unbelievably amazing, the way that it shows the depiction of what happened to odysseus, the way his friends and mom show their injuries causing death and not just how he remembered them, everything is so amazing. i feel like people often gloss over the fact odysseus had been assaulted by calypso in the 7 years he was there, so its refreshing to see it be touched on
having all Ody's friends/family at the bottom of the cliff calling out to him is a war crime committed against me personally and you should be held responsible for it (please do it again)
The worst part is when he says "just let me close my eyes" like this wasn't his first attempt and he's so powerless over everything that he can't even die he doesnt have a say in anything There was no way to escape at all for years he lost all control over his own life How many times did he call athena for help?
Eugh... yeah this is the first time ive seen someone do Calypso more accurate to how she was in the original story, being an abuser who SAs Odysseus. It is a good thing that the Calypso in Epic is supposed to be different from that with her not SAing Ody, since thatd probably be a bit --too- much for the musical and would make NSFLY not work at all, but its really interesting to see someone tackle this version of her. Poor Odysseus though, he never deserved anything like that.
As problematic as Calypso is, it really is a dick move for the first person the gods throw at her island to be an incredibly devoted married man. What, only circe gets the awful lustful sailors?
I love the emotion you showed on all their faces. Especially Athena. The the previous song she literally admitted she isn’t even sleeping because of losing Ody. Seeing her crying at the end after watching him in his lowest moments call out for her broke me. You did a beautiful amazing work of art! Thank you!
I absolutely loved your characters portraits! Especially Athena crying, cause I always imagined that. Her voice is so desperate and shocked at the end. And seeing such a powerful character in tears shows how serious this shit is. I don't really understand why Ody says he loves Calypso as a friend in Not Sorry For Loving You... She's a raper.
Oh my gooooods, this was PAINFUL to watch (in a good way!!!). You definitely took a different route than most others did, and I liked seeing the raw pain that his experiences have dealt to Ody, especially with the whole sitch with Calypso. Well done
1:25 is giving Finnick Odair. Now that I’m thinking about it, even the SA stuff is giving Finnick too. I love how you added that part, honestly I haven’t seen many animatics do it. It really shows how controlling Calypso is
Es que me da rabia que con una mujer no vean que también es capaz de abusar a un hombre, o que si ven que lo esta haciendo digan que no es abuso... Mi pobre Odiseo!! 😭😭😭
oh my the part of when the ghosts appear in water at the end of the cliff is so sad i like to think that it's the mental magnificatin of his suicidal thoughs the ghosts are calling him to jump in the water and join his friends and family in the afterlife and the worst part is he wants to he has currently lost all hope of escaping and reaching home and just wants to end all the suffering only thing stopping him is Calypso😢
How she looks so sad when she says "no one can come or go, my island stays unknown". I guess she's a trapped too😢. How else think Zeus has something to do with it?😑 Since no other god could do anything free Odysseus except Zeus plus the fact that Athena kept asking zeus to 'release him.'
In some version, Calypso is said to be the 'Daughter of Altas' Calypso. She defended her Father in the Titanomachy and was punished to heal anyone who washed up in her domain, while her Father has to hold the Sky on his shoulder.
1:12 - 1:18 feels so creepy for some reason, you really captured the intensity of the situation-that no matter where Ody goes, Calypso was always not far behind, that he really had no way of escaping, and that he really had no say on any of that.
Oh my goodness this is incredible. You portray Odysseus' disgust and mistrust of Calypso so well in how he's refusing and shying away, and then his pain from her assaulting him. I love how you still show Calypso as basically in her own little world of how their interactions are compared to how they are truly and still show her sadness with "No one can come or go".
This is so good. I like how his ghosts with their death injuries are calling from the water. It's like the sirens only this time he's all too eager to jump into the water. I also love the frame of Calypso crying as she's physically holding him away from the edge. She seems so genuinely afriad for him and like she truly cares, which contrasts wonderfully with the flashbacks to what she did. Thank you for sharing.
This is officially my favorite animatic of this song ❤️ The way you portrayed Calypso's vision and in contrast Ody's The part where she passes Ody's sword through her neck to prove that she is immortal and her hair turning into water because she is a water nymph It was so brilliant Not to mention Polites, Eury and ody's mom, seriously the attention to detail I loved it so much ✨
Something that always gets me with this song is how much raw emotion is in part "just let me close my eyes." There's so much emotion throughout the song, especially in the last part but this here hurts so much, because he's haunted by the nightmares. He's just sounds so utterly tired. I wouldn't be surprised if he hasn't gotten a decent night's rest because of this and frankly, probably hasn't got mental break from it either. All he wants is for the pain to stop and to go back to his family, but he can't because he's literally trapped there and is r**ed by this woman for literal YEARS. He is desperate to get home, but he can't so he just wants to end it all. This animatic honestly hits so much harder. Not taking away any credit from the others at all, but the animator definitely took a different approach and put a lot of attention to detail.
This is so much harder to watch than others, and I mean that in the best way possible. Odysseus's fear doesn't come off as comedic here, you know? It's hard to fully put into words, but good job.
I'm not going to lie I really love how you did goddesses can't die part and the souls those two are the best ones I've seen out of any animatic of this song so far keep up the good work
Making it so his dead friends/ family were at the bottom of the cliff and he was trying to jump off to join them.... That was genius. The best depiction of that part of all Love in Paradise animatics
Greek Mythos nerd alert (trigger warning as well): It's implied in Epic, but in the original this happened nearly every night, and he would spend the day at the shores of Ogygia crying. the wording is different across different translations but it's always explicit about it. The sadist part it Calypso didn't even see him as an equal, didn't see anything wrong with it. When uh- *things happen in the texts I wont say for possible spoilers* She actually gets upset and starts ranting about how the Gods are just jealous and hate seeing her, a Goddess, with a mortal man- going as far to say that she has actually tried to make him immortal- and calls him a "poor creature" in some translations. Circe in the original texts was messed up- but no where near to the levels at what happened between Odysseus and Calypso. Not only was this a near nightly thing for 7 years but the guy couldn't trust anything she gave him because she tried to give him Ambrosia so he couldn't even die. tl;dr Calypso in the original is messed up and I need to touch grass or something-
@@Gh0stlyfool I know the og texts, and honestly, it make me really annoyed with those stories that say Odysseus cheated with Calypso. Odysseus was a ruthless bastard, but he was as much the goddess' victim as Pasiphae was victim of Poseidon's wrath.
@@fandemusique4693 If there’s a Greek story with a mortal and a God in the mix 95% of the time the mortal is a victim. (The other 5% is Sisyphus, Tantalus, Pirithous, and Narcissus) Odysseus’ situation especially just feels a certain brand of awful, idk how people can take it and say he cheated
I wonder why a lot of this shifted away from the musical I mean it would bring more attention to the matters at hand and bring in a new audience from the drama
@@villanlover58 for me (even tho I love Mr Jalapeño) I like combining the original events of the story and EPIC. Something I’ve always loved about the Odyssey is how it does portray Ody as a victim of assault. Even though it’s centuries old.
Well the original will always have it’s meaning although in the god games Athena said he never cheated but Hera would see any form of intimacy as cheating so it can be confusing for what epic is doing
there are only 3 songs that you can actively consider there is any aspect that can end up with SA, so not really that many. it’s a 40:3 ratio of songs to songs containing possible attempted SA (“There are Other Ways” which it doesn’t happen and as much as it is coerced, consent is waited for. “Love In Paradise” is controversial in EPIC itself the intention of what Calypso is obviously. it isn’t as explicitly said so you can see it as not SA. Last is “Hold Them Down” which yeah, you’re right it’s REALLY explicit than reinforced and “Odysseus”
I would have never dared to draw Calypso asaulting Ody, I command you for that's. It's brave in it's own way and is probably the most accurate depiction of what when on in the EPIC version accroding to this song. I made Ody waaaay weaker than this is mine, and I'm so glad we can have so many readings of the same song, the same myth, and the same story. None of them are wrong, and everything is right to tell. Albeit I was more interested in Ody's guilt ruining an immortal godess attempt at saving his life and becoming controlling and desperate rather than dellusionnal, but your's is truer to the lyrics, I think. This is a horrible fate for him. A horrible fate for anyone. And I'm glad you didn't back off of it. I had students how commited SA on their partner without realizing it, and refusing to associate themself with the idea. They are responsible. I don't believe in retribution but I know victims will live with it their whole life, and they just have to carry it with them too. I just hope, victim and perpetrator alike, that they can get up and make it part of their journey, and not their whole. Not denying it. Not being defined by it. Talk about it. About the scars, the consent, the listening that didn't happened. The love that went nowhere. The pain. The right to make mistakes, the right to stop anywhere you want. The honor to recognize the pain you carved in someone and knowing those king of things can't be taken back. Why it is so import that we just talk about it.
@nkosig4995 thank you! We all are creating similar stuff, so it's to be expected we lurk on eachother's channel! I love Epic storyboarders, Traveling Pen's no different. Everyone has good ideas and visions.

Oh God. The contrast of what Calypso thought happened versus what she actually did is terrifying
What was that
@@Oppositebreack2 I think they’re talking about how calypso prayers for someone to be with her on her island that she couldn’t leave and Odysseus came, but he would never love her the way she wants.
@@AshBrianoI interpreted it more like she thinks she's seducing him but she's just r@ping him

the 'never once has he cheated on his wife' line hits differently if you think about what Calypso might've done to Odysseus
Yeah she did some messed up shit... And it was all non-consensual. Poor Odysseus
being sexually assaulted doesn’t count as cheating
@@charcoal222 Hera would probably count considering she strikes down all the women Zeus sleeps with and he RARELY cares about concent

As problematic as Calypso is, it really is a dick move for the first person the gods throw at her island to be an incredibly devoted married man. What, only circe gets the awful lustful sailors?
I love the emotion you showed on all their faces. Especially Athena. The the previous song she literally admitted she isn’t even sleeping because of losing Ody. Seeing her crying at the end after watching him in his lowest moments call out for her broke me. You did a beautiful amazing work of art! Thank you!
CALYPSO GRABBING ODYSSEUS TO STOP HIM OMGGGGGGG!!!!!!!
THIS IS THE MOST ODYSSEY ACCURATE CALYPSO IVE SEEN IN AN ANIMATIC BY FAR, WELL ALONG SIDE THAT ONE ANIMATOR WHO ALSO DID A PART OF LOVE IN PARADISE !!
Ooo, Calypso moving the sword THROUGH her neck to show her power is such a cool touch!
this is it. this is the love in paradise animatic. ever.
omg the ghosts being at the bottom of the cliff and that part really got to me.. 🥲
I love when artists portrays gods as slightly larger than or giants than mortals
I absolutely loved your characters portraits! Especially Athena crying, cause I always imagined that. Her voice is so desperate and shocked at the end. And seeing such a powerful character in tears shows how serious this shit is. I don't really understand why Ody says he loves Calypso as a friend in Not Sorry For Loving You... She's a raper.
Oh my gooooods, this was PAINFUL to watch (in a good way!!!). You definitely took a different route than most others did, and I liked seeing the raw pain that his experiences have dealt to Ody, especially with the whole sitch with Calypso. Well done
1:25 is giving Finnick Odair.
Now that I’m thinking about it, even the SA stuff is giving Finnick too. I love how you added that part, honestly I haven’t seen many animatics do it. It really shows how controlling Calypso is
Es que me da rabia que con una mujer no vean que también es capaz de abusar a un hombre, o que si ven que lo esta haciendo digan que no es abuso... Mi pobre Odiseo!! 😭😭😭
YO ESE 😭😭 GRITALO PQ CASI NADIE LO ENTIENDE 😭😭😭 lloro con love in paradise pq me duele lo que le pasa al odiseo :( es horrible
@@daemel1902 ❤️🩹
oh my the part of when the ghosts appear in water at the end of the cliff is so sad i like to think that it's the mental magnificatin of his suicidal thoughs the ghosts are calling him to jump in the water and join his friends and family in the afterlife and the worst part is he wants to he has currently lost all hope of escaping and reaching home and just wants to end all the suffering only thing stopping him is Calypso😢
How she looks so sad when she says "no one can come or go, my island stays unknown". I guess she's a trapped too😢.
How else think Zeus has something to do with it?😑
Since no other god could do anything free Odysseus except Zeus plus the fact that Athena kept asking zeus to 'release him.'
In some version, Calypso is said to be the 'Daughter of Altas' Calypso. She defended her Father in the Titanomachy and was punished to heal anyone who washed up in her domain, while her Father has to hold the Sky on his shoulder.
1:12 - 1:18 feels so creepy for some reason, you really captured the intensity of the situation-that no matter where Ody goes, Calypso was always not far behind, that he really had no way of escaping, and that he really had no say on any of that.
Oh my goodness this is incredible. You portray Odysseus' disgust and mistrust of Calypso so well in how he's refusing and shying away, and then his pain from her assaulting him. I love how you still show Calypso as basically in her own little world of how their interactions are compared to how they are truly and still show her sadness with "No one can come or go".
This is so good. I like how his ghosts with their death injuries are calling from the water. It's like the sirens only this time he's all too eager to jump into the water.
I also love the frame of Calypso crying as she's physically holding him away from the edge. She seems so genuinely afriad for him and like she truly cares, which contrasts wonderfully with the flashbacks to what she did.
Thank you for sharing.
@Mortius you need to watch this animatic, this gave me a hole new perspective of this song.
This is officially my favorite animatic of this song ❤️
The way you portrayed Calypso's vision and in contrast Ody's
The part where she passes Ody's sword through her neck to prove that she is immortal and her hair turning into water because she is a water nymph It was so brilliant
Not to mention Polites, Eury and ody's mom, seriously the attention to detail
I loved it so much ✨
(sorry for any grammar mistakes, I'm not fluent in English)
Something that always gets me with this song is how much raw emotion is in part "just let me close my eyes." There's so much emotion throughout the song, especially in the last part but this here hurts so much, because he's haunted by the nightmares. He's just sounds so utterly tired. I wouldn't be surprised if he hasn't gotten a decent night's rest because of this and frankly, probably hasn't got mental break from it either. All he wants is for the pain to stop and to go back to his family, but he can't because he's literally trapped there and is r**ed by this woman for literal YEARS. He is desperate to get home, but he can't so he just wants to end it all. This animatic honestly hits so much harder. Not taking away any credit from the others at all, but the animator definitely took a different approach and put a lot of attention to detail.
This is so painful, honestly 😭
This is so much harder to watch than others, and I mean that in the best way possible. Odysseus's fear doesn't come off as comedic here, you know? It's hard to fully put into words, but good job.
Omfg first time I have actually seen this with SA, and you did such a good job representing it.
I literally cryed, WHY DID YOU MAKE ME CRY, WHYYYY
The attention to detail. The ending is absolutely heartbreaking. Probably my favorite animatic for this song.
You could see how they all died! Very cool! I love how they appeared to be reaching out for him from the bottom of the drop!
I'm not going to lie I really love how you did goddesses can't die part and the souls those two are the best ones I've seen out of any animatic of this song so far keep up the good work
Making it so his dead friends/ family were at the bottom of the cliff and he was trying to jump off to join them....
That was genius. The best depiction of that part of all Love in Paradise animatics
Thanks for, y'know, actually ACKNOWLEDGING that Odysseus was SA'd by Calypso in Epic (and probably in the Odyssey.)
This looks so good I love how Athena is crying at the end.
omg i think it's the first animation (that I've seen) where Athena is indeed crying after that 😭
one this is awesome two this is the second time I've seen someone do this song where it shows what calypso has done
What was the first? This is the only one I’ve seen
Your drawing and animation work is great! I will continue to follow your work.💗
And confirm it was very good
2:37 chills.
Brilliant animatic.❤
I love this animatic!
Athena crying?! Amazing!
And Ody was SA'd?
Oh that’s true to Homer
Greek Mythos nerd alert (trigger warning as well):
It's implied in Epic, but in the original this happened nearly every night, and he would spend the day at the shores of Ogygia crying. the wording is different across different translations but it's always explicit about it. The sadist part it Calypso didn't even see him as an equal, didn't see anything wrong with it. When uh- *things happen in the texts I wont say for possible spoilers* She actually gets upset and starts ranting about how the Gods are just jealous and hate seeing her, a Goddess, with a mortal man- going as far to say that she has actually tried to make him immortal- and calls him a "poor creature" in some translations. Circe in the original texts was messed up- but no where near to the levels at what happened between Odysseus and Calypso. Not only was this a near nightly thing for 7 years but the guy couldn't trust anything she gave him because she tried to give him Ambrosia so he couldn't even die.
tl;dr Calypso in the original is messed up and I need to touch grass or something-
@@Gh0stlyfool I know the og texts, and honestly, it make me really annoyed with those stories that say Odysseus cheated with Calypso.
Odysseus was a ruthless bastard, but he was as much the goddess' victim as Pasiphae was victim of Poseidon's wrath.
@@fandemusique4693 If there’s a Greek story with a mortal and a God in the mix 95% of the time the mortal is a victim. (The other 5% is Sisyphus, Tantalus, Pirithous, and Narcissus)
Odysseus’ situation especially just feels a certain brand of awful, idk how people can take it and say he cheated
@@Gh0stlyfool nah, that's too large a number, the gods were es likely to be tormentors as to be helpers.
Don't trust Ovid's account.
This should be good
Amazing job
Тени умерших очень круто сделаны
Ficou muito bom!
I wonder why a lot of this shifted away from the musical I mean it would bring more attention to the matters at hand and bring in a new audience from the drama
@@villanlover58 for me (even tho I love Mr Jalapeño) I like combining the original events of the story and EPIC. Something I’ve always loved about the Odyssey is how it does portray Ody as a victim of assault. Even though it’s centuries old.
Well the original will always have it’s meaning although in the god games Athena said he never cheated but Hera would see any form of intimacy as cheating so it can be confusing for what epic is doing
would.
Is it just me, or does Athena look like Mulan? Great Animatic though.
Ouf!
What does mentions of su mean?? Ik what sa is but not su
@Bread-Bre4D oh suicide, ok thx
Tf does "su" mean??
They were probably referring to what was about to go down at 1:50
Why is half of the songs in epic has Sa 😢😢
there are only 3 songs that you can actively consider there is any aspect that can end up with SA, so not really that many. it’s a 40:3 ratio of songs to songs containing possible attempted SA (“There are Other Ways” which it doesn’t happen and as much as it is coerced, consent is waited for. “Love In Paradise” is controversial in EPIC itself the intention of what Calypso is obviously. it isn’t as explicitly said so you can see it as not SA. Last is “Hold Them Down” which yeah, you’re right it’s REALLY explicit than reinforced and “Odysseus”
1.25x speed
I would have never dared to draw Calypso asaulting Ody, I command you for that's. It's brave in it's own way and is probably the most accurate depiction of what when on in the EPIC version accroding to this song.
I made Ody waaaay weaker than this is mine, and I'm so glad we can have so many readings of the same song, the same myth, and the same story. None of them are wrong, and everything is right to tell. Albeit I was more interested in Ody's guilt ruining an immortal godess attempt at saving his life and becoming controlling and desperate rather than dellusionnal, but your's is truer to the lyrics, I think.
This is a horrible fate for him. A horrible fate for anyone. And I'm glad you didn't back off of it.
I had students how commited SA on their partner without realizing it, and refusing to associate themself with the idea. They are responsible. I don't believe in retribution but I know victims will live with it their whole life, and they just have to carry it with them too. I just hope, victim and perpetrator alike, that they can get up and make it part of their journey, and not their whole. Not denying it. Not being defined by it. Talk about it. About the scars, the consent, the listening that didn't happened. The love that went nowhere. The pain. The right to make mistakes, the right to stop anywhere you want. The honor to recognize the pain you carved in someone and knowing those king of things can't be taken back. Why it is so import that we just talk about it.
holy moly im a big fan of ur channel didn't expect to see u here
@nkosig4995 thank you! We all are creating similar stuff, so it's to be expected we lurk on eachother's channel! I love Epic storyboarders, Traveling Pen's no different. Everyone has good ideas and visions.
