the fact that Odysseus stabs him in the heart and it flashes to Polites. then Odysseus stabs him in the back and it flashes to Eurylychus. YOUR MIND>>>>>>>>>>>>
@Pasta-q2u I'm pretty sure it flashes to Polites when Odysseus stabs Poseidon in the arm cause Open Arms, and it flashes to Eurylochus when he's stabbed in the back cause- well- Eurylochus backstabbed/betrayed him
GUYYYYYS "How does it feel to be helpless" and it shows the infant, a helpless being. "I watched my friends die in horror" and it shows Polites. "I heard their final moments, calling their captain in vain" and it shows the crew being murdered by Poseidon. "Look what you turned me into" and it shows the Sirens, the first time Odysseus was being a monster. "All of the pain that I've been through , haven't I suffered enough" and it shows Eurylochous. It all makes so much sense 😭
Gotta say I do love how you made Ody actually using the bag strategically and all the resources at his disposal like his raft and landscape in the fight rather than just….using it like a jet pack and somehow controlling it hanahsbhs No hate to Jorge obvs but here it actually feels like Ody won as a MORTAL man
It also shows how he's truly has the quick thinking and skill of a warrior of the mind. He was able to analyze his surroundings, everything he had at his disposal, and weak points on his opponent. All in seconds. Athena was right. He has the mind of a genius, and her training him from a young age brought out the best of his skills and honed them. I think she really did complete her self-imposed purpose with Odysseus.
Genuinely the best rendition of this scene. Uses the wind bag in a way that makes it feel less like 'uhhh hes goku now' and more like actual strategy, while retaining the monstrous snap at the end.
My honest reaction, I love epic but it seemed too out of place to use it as a jet pack and fight in the air, this seems like something that classic odyssey would do
i love how not only is the windbag utilised in more ... ""realistic"" ? .. way , but also there is an explanation on how a mortal could even harm a god in the first place , the only damage ody does to poseidon is with the use of his own trident
I mean, a mortal can harm a god with any weapon, they just usually need the help of another god to do it. Diomedes stabs Aphrodite in the wrist and fully guts Ares with an ordinary spear when Athena guides his strikes. Without direct divine intervention, though, it definitely makes sense that Odysseus can't do much unless he turns Poseidon's wrath back on him.
0:12 i love how theres in this video it actually represents him struggling and drowning,not like holding his breath with ease. This is an old man whos worn out and tired and working off pure adrenaline. Of course hed be struggling to not swallow a bunch of salt water.
One of my biggest problems with the official animation is that ody brute forces his way through the battle. I like that this one shows him using his wits to beat Poseidon, which not only makes ody even more badass, but gives a thematic way that Poseidon can lose, while still keeping his “Arrogant God” persona in check.
0:28 When Poseidon trident repelled against him, and scratched his face, It’s when odysseus realized Poseidon is own weapon can harm him, NICE DETAIL!!
so you're telling me that not only you put flashbacks to the infant, polites, the crew, eurylochus and the sirens, BUT YOU ALSO MADE ODY STAB THEM IN HIS MIND??? AS IF HE DIRECTLY KILLED THEM ALL?????? you monster 🫶🏻
Okay, I'll admit, I tend to disagree with the fandom on the whole "smiling Poseidon" thing. But this is by far the best iteration of it I've ever seen. Poseidon full body laughing after Odysseus leaves gives this terrible sense that he got exactly the answer he wanted. That he had finally taught Odysseus true ruthlessness, and that was enough satisfaction for him to call it quits.
Facts. Like he's bloody and lost but did he really? That's all that needed to be done too. Not some throwaway line of him saying "That man is no longer you." Just him smirking. Because he won. He's bruised and bloody and that will be something future Poseidon deals with lol, but for now he kind of won too.
Yesss, this was my theory, Odysseus showing how ruthless he is and poseidon letting him live with that, on how Odysseus could beat Poseidon before the saga released so yeah the official version of Odysseus straight up beating and making him scared of him almost was pretty unsatisfying. Duvet always delivers!
@@tearsfrompluto8927 All respect to the official animations, but Jetpack Odysseeus was a “jump the shark” moment for me. I do like scared Poseidon, but not in the way that is typically shown. I feel like either Poseidon or Odysseus have to learn a lesson here for this to make sense and be narratively satisfying. Either Odysseus has to learn to be truly ruthless, like portrayed here, or Poseidon has to be confronted with the failure of his ideology. My preference being the latter, where at the end of all of this he realizes that ruthlessness wasn’t mercy upon himself. It just wasted ten years of his life, and left him helpless and victimized. Just like when he was a child, when his first moments were his own father trying to kill him. So if it couldn’t protect him from that, what was the point of any of it? That said, Duvet’s portrayal of a more smug and cruel Poseidon is absolutely PEAK for that version of it.
this is the best depiction of 600 strike ive seen. Ody using the wind bag as a distraction and offensively to get an edge on poseidon and surprise him is awesome in how it stays true to ody being a cunning hero and not someone who can just 1v1 a god no problem. Fantastic
Also is lines up better with Hermes line in danger “Ever trick in your domain” and his gambit with the win bag lines up with “you cannot play it safe for this”
I really love your interpretation. I had a hard time swallowing the idea that Odysseus was jetpacking around and slashing Poseidon up himself. The idea of him turning Poseidon’s own wrath (busted rocks) against him is so good and very on brand for Odysseus. It leans into his wit more than his brawn.
@@Duvetbox THIS!!! otherwise Calypso's immortality couldn't have stopped Odysseus, he could've just incapacitated her easily or something Duvetbox the animatic GOAT!
i LOVE poseidon laughing at the end. him being scared doesn’t make sense, he’s immortal and could choose to drown Ithaca whenever he wants. but here he doesn’t, because he got what he wanted. this whole time he’s been trying to make Odysseus see his point of view, and this represents the point of no return for Ody. he doesn’t need to kill him - the old Odysseus already died. and the monster is what remains.
Yeah finally someone understands the Gods care mostly about mortals learning from them than anything else. He'd be proud of what he created. Even more so that he did what Athena couldn't, given their rivalry.
You know, my theory on all this was just that he actually couldn't harm ithica, but this being a world view war over actually killing him would make all this make more sense seeing as there's no way he'd be able to just "do" this to poseidon Edited to add: dont forget as well odysseus has to live the rest of his life with his failures, and then well im certain poseiden could make a deal with hades, he broke the man and will probably be able to ensure his torment in the afterlife
@@shaynethegmann nah punishment from Hades basically always comes from people specifically pissing him off, or all the Gods off. Like Sisyphus tricked his *wife* taking advantage of her kindness to return to his body
I really like the detail that Odysseus didn't realise Poseidon could be hurt until he accidently scratches himself with the trident because of the wind bag
ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS DEPICTION OF THE FIGHT! Actually shows small moments of Odysseus’ intelligence; 1. 0:22 He keeps his wind bag hidden as a way to keep some advantage on the battle field 2. 0:34 His quiet realization that he CAN hurt the gods just not kill them 3. 0:47 His clever utilization of the wind bag as a momentum tool to create projectiles that attack and overwhelm Poseidon enough to put him on land, where he has much less power (in the canon of Epic at least) Especially love that since instead of retconning the “wind jet pack idea” it simply makes it more realistic
I love the little details like Poseidon getting hurt by the trident, but I adore that in the stabbing scene he's not just sitting there taking it. Poseidon is actively trying to escape and Ody is blocking each attempt, not a lot of other animators have included that. Additionally, no jetpack wind bag is a wonderful touch, and the fact that the actual six hundred strike is Ody stabbing the BAG to blast poseidon is fantastic. 10/10
I love how strategic Ody is in this one. Him realizing that gods can be hurt was so cool. And seeing Aeolus for a split second was a great touch. He's technically using another god's power against him. Another awesome job!
I like the idea of odyseuss actually learning that poseidon can be hurt at the beginning of the fight which gave him confidence instead of it being pure anger 0:30
3:24 This is my headcanon and I know it isn't the case but I like to think that Poseidon is smiling because even though he didn't kill Odysseus he did kill the man that Ody was. Because Odysseus isn't merciful anymore he's ruthless. Odysseus has finally become the monster and is no longer the same person that his wife knew and I think Poseidon knows that. Again this is a headcanon but I think it makes sense. And it could explain why Poseidon doesn't just immediately drown Ithaca after Ody leaves, because in his eyes he won.
Poseidon visibly laughing is something I love. I always picture Poseidon having this victorious look even after being tortured because Odysseus finally understands to be ruthless, something Poseidon quite literally sang to him about. This is just awesome
I love how Odysseus drags the trident through Posidons flesh. I also love how personal you made this look, nobody shows how much hate goes into every stab as well as you do.
I will love every animatic that doesn't have Odysseus using the bag like a jetpack and actually using wit and skill to beat Poseidon. I also absolutely fucking loved the flashbacks every time he stabbed into Poseidon, all these details make for an amazing scene.
I like the way you made Poseidon react to Odysseus's response, he's laughing. *that* is what he wanted to hear because that is the exact thing *he* would do, not care, he laughs because Odysseus finally *gets it*
I love the windbag being using in combination with his wits and expert sailing skills as opposed to a jetpack outta nowhere. ALSO THE IMPACT FRAMES OF EVERYONE ODYSSEUS MADE SUFFER, ENDING WITH NO IMPACT FRAMES AS POSEIDON HIMSELF IS THE LAST VICTIM OF HIS RUTHLESSNESS BEFORE ITHACA??? FIRE
I love how the whirlpool he made from the wind bag storm is reminiscent of his fight with Charybdis! Really shows how he's using his experiences to his advantage! "And put your whole brain in it. Remember every trick in your domain for this"
Finally, someone shows Poseidon smiling when Ody says “Next to my wife!” The whole point of Poseidon as the antagonist is the fact that Odysseus wasn’t being ruthless enough, so of course he would only be satisfied once Odysseus had become just as much of a monster (rawr rawr rawr) as Poseidon himself! I’m really hoping to see you get commissioned for an official animatic for the Ithaca Saga!
2:10 I love him looking at ody like “why is he pointing my weapon at me? I literally just said I can’t die” and turns into 2:12 where he then realizes that not dying, might not be as good as he first thought
I believe Poseidon is laughing because Ody didnt beat him. The Monster did. A monster just like him. By maiming him Ody proved him right. Ruthlessness is mercy upon himself...
Honestly, the abject horror and desperation on Odysseus’s face when he said “ look what you’ve turned me into “ is something I haven’t seen yet from other animatics. He’s revulsed by himself, and yet drives the point home to Poseidon that HE made him that way. Also, Poseidon just laughing his ass off after the beating definitely makes this even sadder, he knows he has been defeated, but did he really lose in the end ?
Totally agree with you - Poseidon reaction makes it more likely- gods can’t be truly defeated just outwitted - and this animatic shows how that could happen.
I think this is the first animatic for this song that actually understands and showcases how Odysseus fights. The wind bag wasnt an automatic win button. He had to be smart and come up with a plan on the fly. Very accurate to the character while also maximizing the beats in the song. Hands down best animatic for this song!
FINALLY AN ANIMATIC THAT DOESN'T HAVE POESIDON JUST SIT THERE AND TAKE THE BEATING OMG. Poseidon wasn't really "defeated", mans was just chilling cause "lol tf is this human gonna do" - he wasn't even that hurt and was lowkey just vibing. and the way he moves his hand to stop ody, only for ody to pierce through it and rip it open by dragging it sideways??? holy hell YES. Poseidon isn't helpless mans not gonna lay there and take it, and Ody's had enough bullshit
2:37 Ody said "look what you turned me into" while it showed the siren being stabbed, a reference to the first moment that Odysseus had shown the mindset change after monster to be more ruthless like Poseidon. 2:44 it shows Eurylochus being stabbed in the back. This is figurative reference to when Eury "stabbed Ody in the back" by starting the mutiny against him in Mutiny. And also refrences when Ody stabbed Eury and the other members of the crew in the back by choosing his own life over theirs in Thunder Bringer. Thank you for your time.
I wouldn't say Odysseus stabbed his crew in the back for choosing his life over theirs. He warned them that hurting the cow would bring horrible consequences, and they did it anyway. Then Eury has the audacity to turn to him when the thunder started and say in that scared voice "captain...?" Like he wasn't the one that slit the cow's throat while Odysseus begged him not to. It wasn't fair for Zeus to give Ody that ultimatum. He was tied up, waking up from being knocked out, and (literally) stabbed in the back by his crew. He was powerless. Eurylochus was the captain when he killed that cow. Zeus should've just punished Eurylochus. And tbh Eurylochus was a coward to not own his actions there and tell Zeus it was his fault and he should pay for it ALSO considering they wouldn't have been in that mess had he just listened to Ody and not opened the damn bag. POLITES WOULD NEVER.
I love Poseidon’s demeanor as he says the “How will you sleep at night”, it makes it seem more like he’s trying to get the last laugh by reminding Ody of everything he’s done rather than genuinely asking!
Fun fact, getting repeatedly stabbed by a trident would suck, not only because you are getting stabbed but also because tridents are made to stay inside their targets, so when he pulls it out it would likely injure him even more
To this point in time.......This is the best interpretation of the song I've seen. It's made me feel a lot better about some of the ideas in the song that I didn't like as much and enhanced the parts I did like. At this moment, this is my official headcanon of the song.
This animatic made this song make sense to me! Duvetbox you GENIUS!!!! I love when at 0:30 you showed the moment when Odysseus realized he could hurt a god! It really showed how cunning he is!
Thank you for not making the jet pack. This was much better! The detail of Odysseus seeing the Trident could hurt Poseidon was the believable touch this song needed. I also love Poseidon's grin at the end. In a way, he did win by forcing Odysseus to that level
2:44 that flash of Eurylicus as he was stabbing Poseidon and saying "all of the pain that I've been through", almost as if he had stabbed Eury himself or at least felt that way in his heart with the (mostly survivor's) guilt he carried. ETA: at "how does it feel to be helpless", you can see the baby, and "friends die in horror" I think Polites flashes there, too. The details here are just so 😩
god the flashing images are perfect 2:20 "how does it feel to be helpless?" - the helplessness of an infant being dropped, or the helplessness of odysseus in that situation 2:26 "i watched my friends die in horror" - polites, the first death and one of the thing that has affected odysseus's actions the most. 2:32 "i heard their final moments, calling their captain in vain" - when poseidon slaughtered odysseus's crew, calling for him as they drowned in front of him. 2:37 "look what you turned me into, look what we've become" - a different beast, the slaughtered sirens. the first ruthless act odysseus did after deciding being a monster was easier than suffering. 2:44 "all of the pain that i've been through, haven't i suffered enough?" - stabbing eurylochus in the back. he didn't want to choose himself over his crew, the anguish the choice like that must have caused him. the rest of the verse is strictly focused on poseidon, the lines "YOU didn't stop when i begged you", "YOU said the world was dark", "didn't YOU say that ruthlessness is mercy upon our-". this scene between poseidon and odysseus is him coming to terms with everything. he is taking the rage of the past out on the god that caused him the most pain.
@@Robertsnr i can totally see this too! i just know the first time i ever heard the ensemble actually calling "captain" was during ruthlessness! but again, this whole animatic is up to interpretation and this is just mine :D
2:19 “How does it feel to be helpless?” *the infant over the wall flashes* “I watched my friends die in horror” *polites being clubbed flashes* “I heard their final moments” *the many hands of his fleet flashes* “Look what you’ve turned me into” *the sirens being killed flashes, BECAUSE THAT WAS WHEN HE EMBRACED POSEIDON’S MOTTO* “All of the pain i went through” *eurylochus flashes* AND THE FINAL FRAME?? THE NEW DAWN?? THE HOPEFUL ORANGE SUNRISE??
YES GOD you did exactly what I had wished happened officially: Poseidon LAUGHING after the fight. He didn’t “lose.” This is what he wanted, he turned this man into a ruthless monster. I headcanoned that this is what he was getting at, that he wasn’t really “defeated,” but to see it actually drawn out is fantastic. Love this, thank you so much for all the stuff you do for this fandom!!
2:18: THE FLASHES OF THE INFANT, POLITIES, HIS MEN, THE SIREN, AND EURYLOCHUS AS ODYSSEUS STABBED POSEIDEN BRO??? INDICATING HOW HE BECAME THE MONSTER THEY CALLED HIM OUT TO BE?? IM LITERALLY SCREAMING
Love the fight choreography, it feels much less goofy compared to the wind bag jetpack thing (no offense to the animators that Jorge commissioned) its much more creative that he uses the winds to hit poseidon with debris rather than flying up and smacking him with nothing but his bare fists- at least for me And him realising that gods can be hurt in the middle of the battle was a fun way to show how observant he is Not to mention poseidon tryna crawl away pitifully is very satisfying considering all the pain he caused Ody ❤ Edit: I just realised the flashes while odysseus stabs poseidon was the infant, polites, his comrades, the sirens and finally eurylochus 🥲
The best part is that Poseidon is laughing at the "Next to my wife" line. He is defeated, maimed and in incredible pain but he still won. Ody became as absolutely ruthless as him. His worldview won over Polites' open arms and Athena's balance.
Love the official take, Ody using the wind bag like a jet pack. But this, him using the wind bag to propell him on his raft, defeating Poseidon, not with godlike powers, but with his wit and battle prowess. It's so much more powerful and gets me just as pumped as the first time I heard this track
I will never recover from the frames in between the slashes. And the placement is SO PERFECT? Like the siren at "Look what you turned me into" alluding to different beast, or Eurylochus at "haven't I suffered enough" as this is something we hear him say as well in mutiny, I will CRY Thank you so much for blessing us with this, every frame and composition is a masterpiece
@Duvetbox HGHR This is art and usage of stylistic devices at its finest, I noticed his frame was this certain way compared to Polites or the siren but guess the literature analysis classes in school have lost their effect on me to not connect the dots more quickly, a shame :( But there will surely be lotsa people to take note of all the details! Now please excuse me while I stay awake contemplating and bawling my eyes out, thank you very much
2:19 to 2:44 - Helpless like a baby - Stab on the arm, open arms - On their final moments they reached out to their captain - Siren sushi - Stabbed on the back
I like how he used the wing bag in a strategic way. I seen lots of videos were Odysseus suddenly gains powers or is jet packing in a very goofy way. I like how it looks like a mortal fighting a god instead of a superhero
This is such an amazing interpretation of Odysseus' fight with Poseidon. He really does remember every trick in his domain for this and treat it like it is the main event. He puts it all on the line and becomes dangerous. Athena would be so proud of her Warrior of the Mind, as would Hermes when he sees Odysseus got the message he sent. Superb job, thank you so much for sharing!
Those moments where the scene briefly cut to other people either hurt by Oddy or his enemies really shows how much they impacted Odysseus. The infant, Polyties, his crew, the sirens, Euridichus… all that pain he’s carries he’s now putting on Poseidon.
THIS! THIS IS THE VERSION OF THE BATTLE I ACCEPT. Ody using his wits to use Poseidon's terrain and weapon against him, and Poseidon still being cocky in the end (he's a god after all). I LOVE YOU, DUVETBOX!
I absolutely LOVED this. As much as I adore the song, a *jetpack* was weirding me out so bad it was hard to focus. No hate to Jorge; he's incredible. A fantastic songwriter and storyteller. But this makes so much more sense to me. I love it!
Lol same, but the lack of glowy red eyes is a downside because it shows there's more to this scene than just his sheer willpower. (Jorge said glowy stuff = the presence of magic.)
This is a very good interpretation of Six Hundred Strike! I love how you portrayed Posiden's face at the end when Odysseus said "next to my wife" like he was't expecting how dedicated he became to getting to go back home even after everything that happened.
OK *THIS* IS MY FAVORITE 600 STRIKE ANIMATION! The way my mouth fell open when Ody first yanked the trident out of Poseidon’s flesh! Also I love how animators saw the plot-hole of Ody somehow beating Poseidon in a straight fight and said “fine I’ll do it myself” Poseidon trying to get away only for Ody to use the trident to flip him back over and continue stabbing him-
I feel like there’s a million things to love about this animatic. The way Ody notices that the trident can draw blood on Poseidon, the way he uses Poseidon’s strength against him to get what he needs to destroy the mega-water-Poseidon, and only then get a hold of the trident and slash him, the way Ody’s darkest moments flash during the torture scene and each one fits the lyrics-goddamn
God I dont have enough words to fully capture how I feel about this animatic. This is just everything I wanted out of 600 Strike (no hate to the canon animation, the 3D was pretty sick). I love the moment Odysseus smiles a little at the realization that gods CAN bleed, redirecting his whole plan into cornering Poseidon into the smallest version of himself (that is, getting rid of the giant sea avatar because no way can Ody actually do anything with the size difference alone). And god, I'm so in love with the ending part of the song (to be fair we all are), specifically Odysseus stabbing him over and over. The quaint detail of Poseidon's skin pulling back when Odysseus withdraws the trident for another hit is exactly how the trident's designed to work and that small detail means everything to me, thank YOU. And how can we forget Ody's smile at the end? God. Perfect, all in the right places.
Awesome interpretation of the fight! Most animatics just have a flying Odysseus stabbing Poseidon with his puny mortal sword, but Odysseus using Poseidon's storm, and adding the wind and the broken rocks to hurt him makes a lot more sense. Fighting smart and not strong: He is a warrior of the mind, after all. This animatic is my personal canon
Love this take Also that Poseidon still keeps his arrogance he’s just pissed off/angry whilst in pain and or laughing/grinning at it cause really he did get what he wanted in the end - he’s made Ody a Monster.
I love the fact that Odysseus realized Poseidon could be hurt by his own trident, when the windbag blew it into his face and caused him to bleed. This animation is incredible!!
2:19 “How does it feel to be helpless?” The infant 2:16 “I watched my friends die in horror” Polites 2:31 “I heard their final moments” 558 men 2:37 “Look what you turned me into” Sirens (?) 2:43 “All of the pain that I've been through” Eurylochus THE VISUALS??? MATCHING WITH THE LYRICS??? HELLO??? IT’S SO GOOD
I love your interpretation of the windbag! The jet pack is awesome, don’t get me wrong, but this really REALLY encapsulates Odysseus’ sailing prowess and his craftiness.
For anyone who didn't see the short and missed it in the song like I did the first few times, right as Odysseus finishes saying "you didn't stop when I begged you," you can hear Tiresias's motif play very faintly. Starts at about 2:49
0:33 The Realization, "This MF can BLEED? i have a chanse!" That completely irrational unhinged Last ditch effort, when all hope is lost. That sense of, "I wont win, but i might aswel try," and then you try until you either fail or succeed.
The hysterical and sadistic grin on Ody at 0:35 when he realises that Poseidon can bleed is amazing, not to mention the equally sadistic grin on Poseidon has at 3:17 when trying to hurt Odysseus mentally that turns into a full blown cackling breakdown that looks like a cross between him spewing blood and laughing at the answer given.
How does it feel to be helpless? 2:20 (the infant) How does it feel to know pain? I watched my friends die in horror 2:25 (Polites) Crying as they were all slain I heard their final moments 2:31 (600 men) Calling their Captain in vain! Look what you've turned me into 2:37 (the sirens) Look at what we've become All of the pain that I've been through 2:43 (Eurylochus) Haven't I suffered enough?!? So amazing. Love ALL of this. Wonderful work!
I was honestly hoping for a frame/cut that would indicate what happened to her on Ogygia (because in the song, when she says "You didn't stop when I begged you!" you can hear part of the melody of Love in Paradise within it, which indicates something a little "dark").
"If you could make God bleed, people would cease to believe in him" Awesome work! I love how Odysseus uses his tactical mind to defeat Poseidon rather than just using sheer magic power, even though I think that's kind of the point of the original scene (he's not a Warrior of the Mind anymore, he's become one of the gods), I definitely prefer this version where he's using his skills as a strategist and a sailor, and the contrast is what he does *after* he wins, not *how* he wins.
I love how unbothered Poseidon looks when he first starts bleeding, even playing his own blood, and talking to Odisseus about how stupid he was for opening the bag right before he realizes what Odisseus is about to do with his trident
I love this animatic for how it tries to rationalize Odysseus winning. He uses the wind bag to make a storm which distracts Poseidon and it isn't until he steals the trident that he actually does damage. Not only does that make more sense, but it plays into Odysseus' intelligence much better.
Bro this is all so cool wtf. The way Ody realize the trident can hurt Poseidon, Aeolus appearing behind him, the way he steers his raft WITH HIS MOUTH, the way he pick the trident back up, ASTYANAX, Polites, the Siren, Eurolychus, ALL OF THEM. HE'S USING HIS WIT ON THIS ONE. LITERALLY THE BEST VENGEANCE SAGA ANIMATIC. NO DOUBT. PERFECTION.
I love Ody realization that Poseidon can be harmed by his own weapon. Even if it can't kill him the fact it could hurt him made his brain ding and why was willing to risk opening the windbag. Love the Aeolus cameo when opened the bag, also love Poseidon realization when saw Odysseus had grabbed his speak and said exactly at being unkillable. As he doesn't need to kill Poseidon, just needs to make him feel all the suffering he experienced until finally calls it off. Love how at the end Poseidon seemed to be laughing at the realization that Ody truly learned the lesson well and did everything for his wife.
I thought Poseidon was laughing because he knew what kind of shit had been going down in Ithica, and that Penelope might not be Ody's wife much longer if her many, many suitors had their way.
Poseidon may outlive Ody, but he will have to live with the fact that he got his ass whooped by a mortal forever. And I'm sure his fellow gods will never let him forget it either.
Okay. I much prefer it being that Poseidon is kinda letting him walk away because he realizes that ody has finally taken his lesson to heart. (And painfully driven that lesson back into his own real heart but still) It kinda bothered me in the livestream that the GOD Poseidon wouldn't just hunt him down again later or drown Ithaca anyway, but if I read the facial expressions here right, he doesn't need to. He got what he wanted. A ruthless man. No longer the Greek he couldn't stand for his cowardly mercy
I cant lie, this is better than what he had for the reference. I did kinda like the jetpack idea with the bag but this animation has a way more realistic interpretation. (im going to think of this whenever i hear this great song XD)

If gods can bleed gods can die frfr
the fact that Odysseus stabs him in the heart and it flashes to Polites. then Odysseus stabs him in the back and it flashes to Eurylychus. YOUR MIND>>>>>>>>>>>>

it alao flashes to Siren! Penelope getting stabbed when he says "Look what you turned me into!"
@@ah_here_we_go_again5310 HOLY SHIT I DIDN’T EVEN REALIZE THAT, OW MY HEARTTT 😭😭😭
Polites was the heart of the crew. And Eurylychus was the Backbone of the crew basically yeah?
@Pasta-q2u I'm pretty sure it flashes to Polites when Odysseus stabs Poseidon in the arm cause Open Arms, and it flashes to Eurylochus when he's stabbed in the back cause- well- Eurylochus backstabbed/betrayed him
Poseidon: "You just blocked your only way home you moron!"
Odysseus: "And you are talking some mad shit for a dude in stabbing range."
no power up no jetckpakcs ONLY FULL STRATEGY AND INgenuity LIKE THE WARRIOR OF THE MIND jsajfajfasd

EXACTLY ITS PERFECT
And the Aeolus design looks cool
@@TDoThisESPECIALLY SINCE SHE DOESN'T LIKE POSEIDON HAHAHAHAHA
GUYYYYYS
"How does it feel to be helpless" and it shows the infant, a helpless being.
"I watched my friends die in horror" and it shows Polites.
"I heard their final moments, calling their captain in vain" and it shows the crew being murdered by Poseidon.
"Look what you turned me into" and it shows the Sirens, the first time Odysseus was being a monster.
"All of the pain that I've been through , haven't I suffered enough" and it shows Eurylochous.
It all makes so much sense 😭
This points at what's probably the most amazing details in this animatic.
He also stabs Poseidon in the back when Eurylochus flashes on screen, like…[2:44]
Yeah, I know it’s crazy🫨🤯
Gotta say I do love how you made Ody actually using the bag strategically and all the resources at his disposal like his raft and landscape in the fight rather than just….using it like a jet pack and somehow controlling it hanahsbhs
No hate to Jorge obvs but here it actually feels like Ody won as a MORTAL man
It also shows how he's truly has the quick thinking and skill of a warrior of the mind. He was able to analyze his surroundings, everything he had at his disposal, and weak points on his opponent. All in seconds. Athena was right. He has the mind of a genius, and her training him from a young age brought out the best of his skills and honed them. I think she really did complete her self-imposed purpose with Odysseus.
Genuinely the best rendition of this scene. Uses the wind bag in a way that makes it feel less like 'uhhh hes goku now' and more like actual strategy, while retaining the monstrous snap at the end.
My honest reaction, I love epic but it seemed too out of place to use it as a jet pack and fight in the air, this seems like something that classic odyssey would do
“Uhhh, he’s Goku”
But that is *so* cool!
i love how not only is the windbag utilised in more ... ""realistic"" ? .. way , but also there is an explanation on how a mortal could even harm a god in the first place , the only damage ody does to poseidon is with the use of his own trident
I mean, a mortal can harm a god with any weapon, they just usually need the help of another god to do it. Diomedes stabs Aphrodite in the wrist and fully guts Ares with an ordinary spear when Athena guides his strikes. Without direct divine intervention, though, it definitely makes sense that Odysseus can't do much unless he turns Poseidon's wrath back on him.
0:12 i love how theres in this video it actually represents him struggling and drowning,not like holding his breath with ease. This is an old man whos worn out and tired and working off pure adrenaline. Of course hed be struggling to not swallow a bunch of salt water.
Flips Poseidon over like fish fillet on a grill 2:48
Gotta make sure he cooks evenly
STOP MY SIDES HURTTTT
@@Ain2710so does poseidon’s probably
I know that irl it would have been fast, but I keep thinking that Odysseus takes time to **carefully** flip him over so the oil does not splash.
One of my biggest problems with the official animation is that ody brute forces his way through the battle. I like that this one shows him using his wits to beat Poseidon, which not only makes ody even more badass, but gives a thematic way that Poseidon can lose, while still keeping his “Arrogant God” persona in check.
Yup. 100%
Completely agree, I also wasn't a fan of the official animation
Brute force? You mean Ruthlessness?
Exactly!! This is the perfect version of this
0:28 When Poseidon trident repelled against him, and scratched his face, It’s when odysseus realized Poseidon is own weapon can harm him, NICE DETAIL!!
And makes sense in general of why it can harm him as- it killed titans
so you're telling me that not only you put flashbacks to the infant, polites, the crew, eurylochus and the sirens, BUT YOU ALSO MADE ODY STAB THEM IN HIS MIND??? AS IF HE DIRECTLY KILLED THEM ALL?????? you monster 🫶🏻
Me watching those moments: STOOOOOOOP😭
I JUST REALIZED THIS HELLO?!
It makes sense bc Ody put the blame on himself bc of all the deaths of his loved ones!
She is the monster….
Rawr rawr rawr.
Okay, I'll admit, I tend to disagree with the fandom on the whole "smiling Poseidon" thing. But this is by far the best iteration of it I've ever seen. Poseidon full body laughing after Odysseus leaves gives this terrible sense that he got exactly the answer he wanted. That he had finally taught Odysseus true ruthlessness, and that was enough satisfaction for him to call it quits.
Thats an interesting way to look at it. So in a eay he still wins
Facts. Like he's bloody and lost but did he really? That's all that needed to be done too. Not some throwaway line of him saying "That man is no longer you." Just him smirking. Because he won. He's bruised and bloody and that will be something future Poseidon deals with lol, but for now he kind of won too.
@@archsteel7 “Odysseus learning with … Gods, Goddesses and creatures big and small…” [childhood tv jingle].
Yesss, this was my theory, Odysseus showing how ruthless he is and poseidon letting him live with that, on how Odysseus could beat Poseidon before the saga released so yeah the official version of Odysseus straight up beating and making him scared of him almost was pretty unsatisfying. Duvet always delivers!
@@tearsfrompluto8927
All respect to the official animations, but Jetpack Odysseeus was a “jump the shark” moment for me. I do like scared Poseidon, but not in the way that is typically shown. I feel like either Poseidon or Odysseus have to learn a lesson here for this to make sense and be narratively satisfying. Either Odysseus has to learn to be truly ruthless, like portrayed here, or Poseidon has to be confronted with the failure of his ideology.
My preference being the latter, where at the end of all of this he realizes that ruthlessness wasn’t mercy upon himself. It just wasted ten years of his life, and left him helpless and victimized. Just like when he was a child, when his first moments were his own father trying to kill him. So if it couldn’t protect him from that, what was the point of any of it?
That said, Duvet’s portrayal of a more smug and cruel Poseidon is absolutely PEAK for that version of it.
this is the best depiction of 600 strike ive seen. Ody using the wind bag as a distraction and offensively to get an edge on poseidon and surprise him is awesome in how it stays true to ody being a cunning hero and not someone who can just 1v1 a god no problem. Fantastic
Also is lines up better with Hermes line in danger “Ever trick in your domain” and his gambit with the win bag lines up with “you cannot play it safe for this”
I really love your interpretation. I had a hard time swallowing the idea that Odysseus was jetpacking around and slashing Poseidon up himself. The idea of him turning Poseidon’s own wrath (busted rocks) against him is so good and very on brand for Odysseus. It leans into his wit more than his brawn.
Lol gosh, that stupid jetpack. I have to forget that exist.
Like, at the best Ody would be using a rusted blunt sword. If he even had one to begin with
OHH MY GOD ODYSSEUS REALIZING THE TRIDENT HURTS POSEIDON EARLIER ON MAKES SO MUCH SENSE!!! Incredible!!! 🔥🔥
Ty! I figured I’d establish the only way a god can be hurt is by immortal power:) I.E himself…
@@Duvetbox THIS!!! otherwise Calypso's immortality couldn't have stopped Odysseus, he could've just incapacitated her easily or something
Duvetbox the animatic GOAT!
So you’re telling me you can kill a god by “Stop hitting yourself”-ing them hard enough?

Ugh, release him.
@@somegoodsoup7008 HERA!
The shit-eating smile when he notices the Trident can hurt him, slipped in at the beginning of the vocals is such an underrated gem of an idea.
i LOVE poseidon laughing at the end. him being scared doesn’t make sense, he’s immortal and could choose to drown Ithaca whenever he wants. but here he doesn’t, because he got what he wanted. this whole time he’s been trying to make Odysseus see his point of view, and this represents the point of no return for Ody. he doesn’t need to kill him - the old Odysseus already died. and the monster is what remains.
Yeah finally someone understands the Gods care mostly about mortals learning from them than anything else. He'd be proud of what he created. Even more so that he did what Athena couldn't, given their rivalry.
This. Poseidon is maimed but his worldview won over Open Arms and Rational Balance.
A much better ending
You know, my theory on all this was just that he actually couldn't harm ithica, but this being a world view war over actually killing him would make all this make more sense seeing as there's no way he'd be able to just "do" this to poseidon
Edited to add: dont forget as well odysseus has to live the rest of his life with his failures, and then well im certain poseiden could make a deal with hades, he broke the man and will probably be able to ensure his torment in the afterlife
@@shaynethegmann nah punishment from Hades basically always comes from people specifically pissing him off, or all the Gods off.
Like Sisyphus tricked his *wife* taking advantage of her kindness to return to his body
At the beginning when Odysseus saw Poseiden hurt pulled a gamer move and went "the hp bar moved, I can do this"
If you can make God bleed, people cease to believe in him
@@CheerfulDeer2066the way I spent 30 minutes trying to remember what you are referencing there.
I really like the detail that Odysseus didn't realise Poseidon could be hurt until he accidently scratches himself with the trident because of the wind bag
ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS DEPICTION OF THE FIGHT! Actually shows small moments of Odysseus’ intelligence;
1. 0:22 He keeps his wind bag hidden as a way to keep some advantage on the battle field
2. 0:34 His quiet realization that he CAN hurt the gods just not kill them
3. 0:47 His clever utilization of the wind bag as a momentum tool to create projectiles that attack and overwhelm Poseidon enough to put him on land, where he has much less power (in the canon of Epic at least)
Especially love that since instead of retconning the “wind jet pack idea” it simply makes it more realistic
Great catches!
@@DuvetboxI literally pause everything I was doing to watch this with my full attention
thsnj you forbtus comument
@@DuvetboxDo get in the water please 🙏🏻
I love the little details like Poseidon getting hurt by the trident, but I adore that in the stabbing scene he's not just sitting there taking it. Poseidon is actively trying to escape and Ody is blocking each attempt, not a lot of other animators have included that. Additionally, no jetpack wind bag is a wonderful touch, and the fact that the actual six hundred strike is Ody stabbing the BAG to blast poseidon is fantastic.
10/10
I love how strategic Ody is in this one. Him realizing that gods can be hurt was so cool. And seeing Aeolus for a split second was a great touch. He's technically using another god's power against him. Another awesome job!
YESYESYES
I like the idea of odyseuss actually learning that poseidon can be hurt at the beginning of the fight which gave him confidence instead of it being pure anger 0:30
3:24
This is my headcanon and I know it isn't the case but I like to think that Poseidon is smiling because even though he didn't kill Odysseus he did kill the man that Ody was. Because Odysseus isn't merciful anymore he's ruthless. Odysseus has finally become the monster and is no longer the same person that his wife knew and I think Poseidon knows that.
Again this is a headcanon but I think it makes sense. And it could explain why Poseidon doesn't just immediately drown Ithaca after Ody leaves, because in his eyes he won.
Poseidon visibly laughing is something I love. I always picture Poseidon having this victorious look even after being tortured because Odysseus finally understands to be ruthless, something Poseidon quite literally sang to him about. This is just awesome
I love how Odysseus drags the trident through Posidons flesh. I also love how personal you made this look, nobody shows how much hate goes into every stab as well as you do.
URGHHH THE PART WHERE POSEIDONS TRIDENT CUTS HIS CHEEKS AND ODYSSEUS IS LIKE 'he can get hurt' RAHHHHH THIS ANIMATIC IS PERFECT
I will love every animatic that doesn't have Odysseus using the bag like a jetpack and actually using wit and skill to beat Poseidon. I also absolutely fucking loved the flashbacks every time he stabbed into Poseidon, all these details make for an amazing scene.
I like the way you made Poseidon react to Odysseus's response, he's laughing. *that* is what he wanted to hear because that is the exact thing *he* would do, not care, he laughs because Odysseus finally *gets it*
I love the windbag being using in combination with his wits and expert sailing skills as opposed to a jetpack outta nowhere. ALSO THE IMPACT FRAMES OF EVERYONE ODYSSEUS MADE SUFFER, ENDING WITH NO IMPACT FRAMES AS POSEIDON HIMSELF IS THE LAST VICTIM OF HIS RUTHLESSNESS BEFORE ITHACA??? FIRE
I love how the whirlpool he made from the wind bag storm is reminiscent of his fight with Charybdis! Really shows how he's using his experiences to his advantage!
"And put your whole brain in it. Remember every trick in your domain for this"
Finally, someone shows Poseidon smiling when Ody says “Next to my wife!” The whole point of Poseidon as the antagonist is the fact that Odysseus wasn’t being ruthless enough, so of course he would only be satisfied once Odysseus had become just as much of a monster (rawr rawr rawr) as Poseidon himself! I’m really hoping to see you get commissioned for an official animatic for the Ithaca Saga!
2:10 I love him looking at ody like “why is he pointing my weapon at me? I literally just said I can’t die” and turns into 2:12 where he then realizes that not dying, might not be as good as he first thought
i love the idea of Posidon laughing at the end, as if he is so impressed that a mortal could change this much compared to when they last met.
I like to think that in the end, In a twisted way, Poseidon was proud of him
@@tayetherat1999 hence the not going after him, he wanted to kill Ody but he was too late, the ody he knew was dead.
I believe Poseidon is laughing because Ody didnt beat him. The Monster did. A monster just like him. By maiming him Ody proved him right. Ruthlessness is mercy upon himself...
Honestly, the abject horror and desperation on Odysseus’s face when he said “ look what you’ve turned me into “ is something I haven’t seen yet from other animatics. He’s revulsed by himself, and yet drives the point home to Poseidon that HE made him that way. Also, Poseidon just laughing his ass off after the beating definitely makes this even sadder, he knows he has been defeated, but did he really lose in the end ?
Totally agree with you - Poseidon reaction makes it more likely- gods can’t be truly defeated just outwitted - and this animatic shows how that could happen.
I think this is the first animatic for this song that actually understands and showcases how Odysseus fights. The wind bag wasnt an automatic win button. He had to be smart and come up with a plan on the fly. Very accurate to the character while also maximizing the beats in the song. Hands down best animatic for this song!
FINALLY AN ANIMATIC THAT DOESN'T HAVE POESIDON JUST SIT THERE AND TAKE THE BEATING OMG.
Poseidon wasn't really "defeated", mans was just chilling cause "lol tf is this human gonna do" - he wasn't even that hurt and was lowkey just vibing.
and the way he moves his hand to stop ody, only for ody to pierce through it and rip it open by dragging it sideways??? holy hell YES. Poseidon isn't helpless mans not gonna lay there and take it, and Ody's had enough bullshit
Popular king beats up old man by torturing him
U mean simp king for his wife beats up old man
BASED
yes!
...Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson, dare I say? (Except Poseidon wasn't given $20 million to lose)
2:37 Ody said "look what you turned me into" while it showed the siren being stabbed, a reference to the first moment that Odysseus had shown the mindset change after monster to be more ruthless like Poseidon.
2:44 it shows Eurylochus being stabbed in the back. This is figurative reference to when Eury "stabbed Ody in the back" by starting the mutiny against him in Mutiny. And also refrences when Ody stabbed Eury and the other members of the crew in the back by choosing his own life over theirs in Thunder Bringer. Thank you for your time.
I wouldn't say Odysseus stabbed his crew in the back for choosing his life over theirs. He warned them that hurting the cow would bring horrible consequences, and they did it anyway. Then Eury has the audacity to turn to him when the thunder started and say in that scared voice "captain...?" Like he wasn't the one that slit the cow's throat while Odysseus begged him not to. It wasn't fair for Zeus to give Ody that ultimatum. He was tied up, waking up from being knocked out, and (literally) stabbed in the back by his crew. He was powerless. Eurylochus was the captain when he killed that cow. Zeus should've just punished Eurylochus. And tbh Eurylochus was a coward to not own his actions there and tell Zeus it was his fault and he should pay for it ALSO considering they wouldn't have been in that mess had he just listened to Ody and not opened the damn bag. POLITES WOULD NEVER.
I like how Odysseus used the wind to directly blast Poseidon. The jet pack is a cool idea, but it looks kinda silly.
For real lmao
I was begging the gods for someone to make animatic where Odysseus does that and I’m so happy duvet did!!
0:35 the small detail and realization for Ody that if he used the trident he could hurt Poseidon was literal gold
I love Poseidon’s demeanor as he says the “How will you sleep at night”, it makes it seem more like he’s trying to get the last laugh by reminding Ody of everything he’s done rather than genuinely asking!
I love how at 00:30 you can see him realize that he can Poseidon bleed if he uses his weapon, cool detail!
This is the best way to use the windbag in the fight that I have seen so far!
Agreed!!
Agreed
Fun fact, getting repeatedly stabbed by a trident would suck, not only because you are getting stabbed but also because tridents are made to stay inside their targets, so when he pulls it out it would likely injure him even more

That was pretty iconic.
To this point in time.......This is the best interpretation of the song I've seen. It's made me feel a lot better about some of the ideas in the song that I didn't like as much and enhanced the parts I did like. At this moment, this is my official headcanon of the song.
You nailed it! What this person said 👆🏼 lol!!
Same
Thank you for making Ody cry a little bit, I honestly imagined him to have some tears bc deep down that is not something he wanted to do
This animatic made this song make sense to me! Duvetbox you GENIUS!!!! I love when at 0:30 you showed the moment when Odysseus realized he could hurt a god! It really showed how cunning he is!
YESSS I LOVE HIS STRATEGIC USE OF THE WIND BAG AND I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS SO MUCH
Thank you for not making the jet pack. This was much better! The detail of Odysseus seeing the Trident could hurt Poseidon was the believable touch this song needed. I also love Poseidon's grin at the end. In a way, he did win by forcing Odysseus to that level
The way the windbag was used was so cool. Rather than just being a transportation tool, he also used it to attack Poseidon! A true warrior of the mind
2:44 that flash of Eurylicus as he was stabbing Poseidon and saying "all of the pain that I've been through", almost as if he had stabbed Eury himself or at least felt that way in his heart with the (mostly survivor's) guilt he carried.
ETA: at "how does it feel to be helpless", you can see the baby, and "friends die in horror" I think Polites flashes there, too. The details here are just so 😩
Added detail: He was stabbed in the back.
god the flashing images are perfect
2:20 "how does it feel to be helpless?" - the helplessness of an infant being dropped, or the helplessness of odysseus in that situation
2:26 "i watched my friends die in horror" - polites, the first death and one of the thing that has affected odysseus's actions the most.
2:32 "i heard their final moments, calling their captain in vain" - when poseidon slaughtered odysseus's crew, calling for him as they drowned in front of him.
2:37 "look what you turned me into, look what we've become" - a different beast, the slaughtered sirens. the first ruthless act odysseus did after deciding being a monster was easier than suffering.
2:44 "all of the pain that i've been through, haven't i suffered enough?" - stabbing eurylochus in the back. he didn't want to choose himself over his crew, the anguish the choice like that must have caused him.
the rest of the verse is strictly focused on poseidon, the lines "YOU didn't stop when i begged you", "YOU said the world was dark", "didn't YOU say that ruthlessness is mercy upon our-".
this scene between poseidon and odysseus is him coming to terms with everything. he is taking the rage of the past out on the god that caused him the most pain.
I love this interpretation SO MUCH!!! You have no idea how happy this makes me!!!
I thought he was talking about the incident with Polyphemus when he said “I heard their final moments calling their captain in vain”
But I agree with you
@@Robertsnr i can totally see this too! i just know the first time i ever heard the ensemble actually calling "captain" was during ruthlessness! but again, this whole animatic is up to interpretation and this is just mine :D
2:19
“How does it feel to be helpless?” *the infant over the wall flashes*
“I watched my friends die in horror” *polites being clubbed flashes*
“I heard their final moments” *the many hands of his fleet flashes*
“Look what you’ve turned me into” *the sirens being killed flashes, BECAUSE THAT WAS WHEN HE EMBRACED POSEIDON’S MOTTO*
“All of the pain i went through” *eurylochus flashes*
AND THE FINAL FRAME?? THE NEW DAWN?? THE HOPEFUL ORANGE SUNRISE??
YES GOD you did exactly what I had wished happened officially: Poseidon LAUGHING after the fight. He didn’t “lose.” This is what he wanted, he turned this man into a ruthless monster. I headcanoned that this is what he was getting at, that he wasn’t really “defeated,” but to see it actually drawn out is fantastic. Love this, thank you so much for all the stuff you do for this fandom!!
2:18: THE FLASHES OF THE INFANT, POLITIES, HIS MEN, THE SIREN, AND EURYLOCHUS AS ODYSSEUS STABBED POSEIDEN BRO??? INDICATING HOW HE BECAME THE MONSTER THEY CALLED HIM OUT TO BE?? IM LITERALLY SCREAMING
Love the fight choreography, it feels much less goofy compared to the wind bag jetpack thing (no offense to the animators that Jorge commissioned) its much more creative that he uses the winds to hit poseidon with debris rather than flying up and smacking him with nothing but his bare fists- at least for me
And him realising that gods can be hurt in the middle of the battle was a fun way to show how observant he is
Not to mention poseidon tryna crawl away pitifully is very satisfying considering all the pain he caused Ody ❤
Edit: I just realised the flashes while odysseus stabs poseidon was the infant, polites, his comrades, the sirens and finally eurylochus 🥲
The best part is that Poseidon is laughing at the "Next to my wife" line. He is defeated, maimed and in incredible pain but he still won. Ody became as absolutely ruthless as him. His worldview won over Polites' open arms and Athena's balance.
Guess ruthlessness WAS mercy upon ourselves
Love the official take, Ody using the wind bag like a jet pack. But this, him using the wind bag to propell him on his raft, defeating Poseidon, not with godlike powers, but with his wit and battle prowess. It's so much more powerful and gets me just as pumped as the first time I heard this track
I will never recover from the frames in between the slashes. And the placement is SO PERFECT? Like the siren at "Look what you turned me into" alluding to different beast, or Eurylochus at "haven't I suffered enough" as this is something we hear him say as well in mutiny, I will CRY
Thank you so much for blessing us with this, every frame and composition is a masterpiece
Good catches! Sad nobody’s pointed out eurys getting stabbed in the back haha
@Duvetbox
HGHR
This is art and usage of stylistic devices at its finest, I noticed his frame was this certain way compared to Polites or the siren but guess the literature analysis classes in school have lost their effect on me to not connect the dots more quickly, a shame :(
But there will surely be lotsa people to take note of all the details!
Now please excuse me while I stay awake contemplating and bawling my eyes out, thank you very much
2:19 -- Ody about to drop the infant
2:25 -- Polites dying
2:31 -- his crew reaching out to him
2:37 -- a siren
2:43 -- Eurylochus
Another thing to notice is that they all get stabbed by the trident in the position Poseidon is in.
2:19 to 2:44
- Helpless like a baby
- Stab on the arm, open arms
- On their final moments they reached out to their captain
- Siren sushi
- Stabbed on the back
That’s so fucking cool, such amazing detail
I like how he used the wing bag in a strategic way. I seen lots of videos were Odysseus suddenly gains powers or is jet packing in a very goofy way. I like how it looks like a mortal fighting a god instead of a superhero
Well the jet pack comes from the official animation Jorge commissioned, but yeah the jet pack does not make that scene serious enough 😭
This is such an amazing interpretation of Odysseus' fight with Poseidon. He really does remember every trick in his domain for this and treat it like it is the main event. He puts it all on the line and becomes dangerous. Athena would be so proud of her Warrior of the Mind, as would Hermes when he sees Odysseus got the message he sent.
Superb job, thank you so much for sharing!
Those moments where the scene briefly cut to other people either hurt by Oddy or his enemies really shows how much they impacted Odysseus. The infant, Polyties, his crew, the sirens, Euridichus… all that pain he’s carries he’s now putting on Poseidon.
YES! This is it! No more jetpack, no more floating Poseidon! Just a guy using his tricks, skills, and divine gifts to defeat a god
THIS! THIS IS THE VERSION OF THE BATTLE I ACCEPT. Ody using his wits to use Poseidon's terrain and weapon against him, and Poseidon still being cocky in the end (he's a god after all). I LOVE YOU, DUVETBOX!
Exactly what i was thinking
Same
I absolutely LOVED this. As much as I adore the song, a *jetpack* was weirding me out so bad it was hard to focus. No hate to Jorge; he's incredible. A fantastic songwriter and storyteller. But this makes so much more sense to me. I love it!
Totally, sometimes his animatic choices are...questionable.
Lol same, but the lack of glowy red eyes is a downside because it shows there's more to this scene than just his sheer willpower. (Jorge said glowy stuff = the presence of magic.)
@@Tikibird79he did have it
First it was little wolf then Love in paradise, NOW THIS!? Im shocked🤯 3:20 "Next to my wife." Famous words😭🙏
This is a very good interpretation of Six Hundred Strike! I love how you portrayed Posiden's face at the end when Odysseus said "next to my wife" like he was't expecting how dedicated he became to getting to go back home even after everything that happened.
Absolutely love Poseidon's 'holy shit he's crazy' laugh at the end, I imagine it to be like when you release everything in hysterical pent up laughter
He made Odysseus into a monster in the end
3:26 that face screams “OH GODS, WHAT DID I CREATE!?”. Poseidon is not *uttering* Odysseus’s name for a long time after this one
Bro next time a god has issues with Poseidon, they'll go "I've got Ody on speed dial. The king of Ithaca. Watch your tone fish boy"
_watch your tone fish boy_ I'm wheezing.
He’s horrified but somewhat proud.
OK *THIS* IS MY FAVORITE 600 STRIKE ANIMATION! The way my mouth fell open when Ody first yanked the trident out of Poseidon’s flesh! Also I love how animators saw the plot-hole of Ody somehow beating Poseidon in a straight fight and said “fine I’ll do it myself”
Poseidon trying to get away only for Ody to use the trident to flip him back over and continue stabbing him-
I feel like there’s a million things to love about this animatic. The way Ody notices that the trident can draw blood on Poseidon, the way he uses Poseidon’s strength against him to get what he needs to destroy the mega-water-Poseidon, and only then get a hold of the trident and slash him, the way Ody’s darkest moments flash during the torture scene and each one fits the lyrics-goddamn
Genuinely love how he realizes that the trident hurts him. It’s foreshadowing what then happens at the end.
God I dont have enough words to fully capture how I feel about this animatic. This is just everything I wanted out of 600 Strike (no hate to the canon animation, the 3D was pretty sick).
I love the moment Odysseus smiles a little at the realization that gods CAN bleed, redirecting his whole plan into cornering Poseidon into the smallest version of himself (that is, getting rid of the giant sea avatar because no way can Ody actually do anything with the size difference alone). And god, I'm so in love with the ending part of the song (to be fair we all are), specifically Odysseus stabbing him over and over. The quaint detail of Poseidon's skin pulling back when Odysseus withdraws the trident for another hit is exactly how the trident's designed to work and that small detail means everything to me, thank YOU.
And how can we forget Ody's smile at the end? God.
Perfect, all in the right places.
Awesome interpretation of the fight! Most animatics just have a flying Odysseus stabbing Poseidon with his puny mortal sword, but Odysseus using Poseidon's storm, and adding the wind and the broken rocks to hurt him makes a lot more sense. Fighting smart and not strong: He is a warrior of the mind, after all.
This animatic is my personal canon
Smae
Love this take
Also that Poseidon still keeps his arrogance he’s just pissed off/angry whilst in pain and or laughing/grinning at it cause really he did get what he wanted in the end - he’s made Ody a Monster.
I love the fact that Odysseus realized Poseidon could be hurt by his own trident, when the windbag blew it into his face and caused him to bleed. This animation is incredible!!
2:19 “How does it feel to be helpless?” The infant
2:16 “I watched my friends die in horror” Polites
2:31 “I heard their final moments” 558 men
2:37 “Look what you turned me into” Sirens (?)
2:43 “All of the pain that I've been through” Eurylochus
THE VISUALS??? MATCHING WITH THE LYRICS??? HELLO??? IT’S SO GOOD
I love your interpretation of the windbag! The jet pack is awesome, don’t get me wrong, but this really REALLY encapsulates Odysseus’ sailing prowess and his craftiness.
1:47
Poseidon: “now you’ll never get back”
Odysseus: “I’m about to do what’s called a ‘pro gamer move’”
Mercy’s a skill 👉😏
1:07 THE GLIPSE OF
AEOLUS WHEN HE OPENED THE WINDBAGGGG 😭
For anyone who didn't see the short and missed it in the song like I did the first few times, right as Odysseus finishes saying "you didn't stop when I begged you," you can hear Tiresias's motif play very faintly. Starts at about 2:49
Love how you've given your own spin on this, the detail of him realizing the trident can hurt Poseidon immediately followed by the vocals was sick 👍
0:33 The Realization,
"This MF can BLEED? i have a chanse!"
That completely irrational unhinged Last ditch effort, when all hope is lost.
That sense of, "I wont win, but i might aswel try," and then you try until you either fail or succeed.
The hysterical and sadistic grin on Ody at 0:35 when he realises that Poseidon can bleed is amazing, not to mention the equally sadistic grin on Poseidon has at 3:17 when trying to hurt Odysseus mentally that turns into a full blown cackling breakdown that looks like a cross between him spewing blood and laughing at the answer given.
How does it feel to be helpless?
2:20 (the infant)
How does it feel to know pain?
I watched my friends die in horror
2:25 (Polites)
Crying as they were all slain
I heard their final moments
2:31 (600 men)
Calling their Captain in vain!
Look what you've turned me into
2:37 (the sirens)
Look at what we've become
All of the pain that I've been through
2:43 (Eurylochus)
Haven't I suffered enough?!?
So amazing. Love ALL of this. Wonderful work!
I was honestly hoping for a frame/cut that would indicate what happened to her on Ogygia (because in the song, when she says "You didn't stop when I begged you!" you can hear part of the melody of Love in Paradise within it, which indicates something a little "dark").
"If you could make God bleed, people would cease to believe in him"
Awesome work! I love how Odysseus uses his tactical mind to defeat Poseidon rather than just using sheer magic power, even though I think that's kind of the point of the original scene (he's not a Warrior of the Mind anymore, he's become one of the gods), I definitely prefer this version where he's using his skills as a strategist and a sailor, and the contrast is what he does *after* he wins, not *how* he wins.
I don't mind the jetpack idea by the way! I just prefer this version of events, it's more cohesive with the rest of the musical to me
I love how unbothered Poseidon looks when he first starts bleeding, even playing his own blood, and talking to Odisseus about how stupid he was for opening the bag right before he realizes what Odisseus is about to do with his trident
I love this animatic for how it tries to rationalize Odysseus winning. He uses the wind bag to make a storm which distracts Poseidon and it isn't until he steals the trident that he actually does damage. Not only does that make more sense, but it plays into Odysseus' intelligence much better.
Bro this is all so cool wtf. The way Ody realize the trident can hurt Poseidon, Aeolus appearing behind him, the way he steers his raft WITH HIS MOUTH, the way he pick the trident back up, ASTYANAX, Polites, the Siren, Eurolychus, ALL OF THEM. HE'S USING HIS WIT ON THIS ONE. LITERALLY THE BEST VENGEANCE SAGA ANIMATIC. NO DOUBT. PERFECTION.
I love Ody realization that Poseidon can be harmed by his own weapon. Even if it can't kill him the fact it could hurt him made his brain ding and why was willing to risk opening the windbag. Love the Aeolus cameo when opened the bag, also love Poseidon realization when saw Odysseus had grabbed his speak and said exactly at being unkillable.
As he doesn't need to kill Poseidon, just needs to make him feel all the suffering he experienced until finally calls it off. Love how at the end Poseidon seemed to be laughing at the realization that Ody truly learned the lesson well and did everything for his wife.
I thought Poseidon was laughing because he knew what kind of shit had been going down in Ithica, and that Penelope might not be Ody's wife much longer if her many, many suitors had their way.
Poseidon may outlive Ody, but he will have to live with the fact that he got his ass whooped by a mortal forever. And I'm sure his fellow gods will never let him forget it either.
Nah, ody was like: I've got god and anime on my side
Okay. I much prefer it being that Poseidon is kinda letting him walk away because he realizes that ody has finally taken his lesson to heart. (And painfully driven that lesson back into his own real heart but still)
It kinda bothered me in the livestream that the GOD Poseidon wouldn't just hunt him down again later or drown Ithaca anyway, but if I read the facial expressions here right, he doesn't need to. He got what he wanted.
A ruthless man. No longer the Greek he couldn't stand for his cowardly mercy
I cant lie, this is better than what he had for the reference. I did kinda like the jetpack idea with the bag but this animation has a way more realistic interpretation.
(im going to think of this whenever i hear this great song XD)
I don't think it was ever meant to be realistic loll
I love how you depicted Odysseus visibly realizing that Poseidon's own trident can hurt him!
If he can bleed... he can loose a fight.
