Okay, I fricking love this animatic?! This Hermes reminds me so much of the Latin texts I had to translate in school (Yes, I know, technically Mercury, get off my back!), the trickster, the funster, the guy that you want on your side but also grins menacingly behind your back?! The Hermes that combines fun with danger, power with weakness (Giving Odysseus powerful items but still making himself larger than both him and Circe). This Hermes just practically radiates the aura of "younger sibling" so much that nobody will ever forget that he's the youngest Olympian (after Dionysos but he isn't born yet (I don't think so at least^^) and as a younger sibling myself I must say... THIS IS SO MUCH FUN!! Also... sorry for the rambly comment, normally I don't write those but have I mentioned that I love this animatic? The best one by far for me :3
No don't apologize! I love this comment! I love both Greek and Roman mythology so I like that he also displays his Roman interpretations as well. In fact, I even designed a shirt that is an ambigram of both names, Mercury and Hermes. But yeah, I'm so glad you think this one is the best, it really makes me happy to hear! ^^
The tonal whiplash between the snakes getting in Ody's face as the backup vocals and that brutal series of flashbacks to his darkest moments is devastating! And panning out to Penelope and Telemachus as Ody goes super saiyan? *chef's kiss*
Yesss, I really like this! Lots of movement and personality. I like that Hermes didn't show his true form right away and messed with him the whole time, and the snakes singing the chorus was great! There's a lot of details I love about this!
NEW FAVORITE WOULDNT YOU LIKE ANIMATIC OH MY GOD. The snakes singing harmonies. Hermes transforming into all of his respective animals, the pig transformation, this goes CRAAAZY
i really like how hermes fucks around w odysseus a lot, and uses modern imagery to feel timeless and thus immortal. and then odysseus, who IS mortal, gets the more serious imagery because he doesnt have the luxury of power and the undying. it makes a really cool visual and thematic division between them.
@gwennorthcutt421 I appreciate this comment so much 🙏 What incredible insight. I do feel that I did these things somewhat intentionally based on thematics, but I never put the thoughts into words like this
IT'S BEAUTIFUL!!🥹 This is amazing! This is now one of my favorite "Wouldn't You Like" animatics if not my favorite overall. The movements, the angles, the expressions, EVERYTHING!!!!!😍
I have to say that I never expected this(2:15). This puts a unique spin on what is going on. While Hermes is singing, Odysseus steels himself for the upcoming battle.
Ooooo amo tu animación!!!! Esta increíble Oye estamos haciendo el musical de Epic the musical al español, ¿Te gustaría ayudarnos animando partes pequeñas de canciones, a cambio de un pago (primero debemos ver qué este en el presupuesto)?
I love how this actually gives a reason why he didn't recognize Hermes right away
I think his snakes being his backup singers is hilarious.
The first person who actually knew that Odysseus was the one to do the "OoooAaahh" in the back
Hermes is having the time of his life
I love how much personality you gave hermes and how animated his movements are, absolutely love this
Hermes is such a troll in this one, and also, SMOOOTH
Not even Loki has this much charisma and style.
The design of hemes is absolutely great
FINALLY, THIS SONG NEEDS MORE ANIMATICS
Finally, this easly the best wouldn't you like animatic l, thank you so much for making this
Thank YOU for your wonderful comment!
This is so well done.
Especially Odysseus looking at his hand and remembering everything horrible he has done.
YES YES THIS IS PERFECT Also finally an animatic that adds Ody Actually singing along near the end
Ok a little late but the fact Odysseus didn’t hesitate when he ate the flower got me
2:16 THIS took me COMPLETELY off guard. Such nice details

Timeline wise, Dionysus is already born and was born a long time ago

My new fave wouldn't you like Animatic, this is sick, my boi Hermes has never looked better.

@@lionblaze0384 Thank you so much! I felt there was so much potential with the character that I wanted to explore xD
Love the Caduceus summon animation at the start

I am so happy to have another animatic of this song-- especially one that's this good. Hope this comment boosts the algo so more can see!
What a great animatic! The snakes of the Caduceus becoming the backup singers was a clever touch. Awesome stuff.
The snakes of the staff as backup singers and hypemen is beautiful.
2:15 tho 👀
This is super fun to watch
You captured the energy of this song and you gave Hermes that "Je ne sais quoi". I love this so much.
IT'S BEAUTIFUL!!🥹 This is amazing! This is now one of my favorite "Wouldn't You Like" animatics if not my favorite overall. The movements, the angles, the expressions, EVERYTHING!!!!!😍
@bluej.studios4523 thank you so much!!

THIS IS SUCH A FUN ANIMATIC you did great !!
SO GOOD THE LINES THE COLOR THE ANIMATION
are you following Jay's liveestream?
@@RespectfullyBiasedReader I was for a bit lol, but the stream kept crashing on my end
I was not prepared for that tonal shift at 2:16.
This is just great! Love it.
Thank you!!
Great animatic !
I have to say that I never expected this(2:15). This puts a unique spin on what is going on. While Hermes is singing, Odysseus steels himself for the upcoming battle.
Holy moly! (heh) this is really good
Totally amazing 😍😍😍 waiting for more
What should I animate next?
@@GandalfMonkeyAnimations i'd love to see Ruthlessness (my fav song😅)
One vote for the confrontation with Circe
This is pretty amazing!
Hermes's onion approves!
This video doesn't have enough views for the quality, the youtube algorithm is cruel
Your Hermes design is giving me SpongeBob vibes
SICK
First time I’ve seen someone use the serphents
George and martha have a speciall pervormace
Yaaaaayyy
@@lisamalzer649 I'm glad you caught that! They are 1000% inspired by Hermes' snakes in Percy Jackson
@@GandalfMonkeyAnimationsrespect bro

Martha and George 🙂 1:23
