she cries, i cry feel her hard ngl rlly

Oh Calypso how I feel you

I LOVE HOW THIS ANIMATIC PORTRAYS THE DYNAMIC!! I mean yeah calypso you suffered but girl you made odysseus suffer he has the right to not even wanna look at you

This is the second animatic of this song where Ody just hops up on the gunwales and walks around. Guess it's a popular spot.

"We are a different beast now." "Make sure they die slowly." "*He* is a different beast now." But also, I feel like it would be much more likely for blood loss to kill the sirens, not drowning. Since they should be aquatic beings...

It's sad bc she's all alone now and now she'll spend forever alone😢

I feel kinda bad for her she really did love him but since she has had literally no experience with people she trapped him there its sad

They'll never make me like you, Calypso

THIS LIVES RENT FREE IN MY HEAD❤😂🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

😢 💔

omg I'm so in love with this animatic

this is gorgeous !!

It's the gaslighting song!

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

She is not getting a middle finger because gentleman

calypso the BPD coded goddess.... i love your animation its so beautiful

2:04 Ur so real Calypso

What if the siren wasn't entirely truthful? What if there was another way to go, and she only gave him the worst possible way hoping he'd just choose to die to a siren rather than risk it with Scylla?

My favorite part of this animatic is the difference in Sirenelope's facial expressions in the chorus; at first she keeps up the act of being Ody's endearing wife, but after answering his question, her expression goes from soft and sweet to smug and sinister at 2:07 and 2:13 like she was sure that she's one step closer to her goal of securing her meal. I love this animatic so much it scratches my brain just right, really gorgeous <33

2:48 Odysseus’ face oml

A lot of people hate Calypso, which is valid, especially if you're thinking about the original mythology version. But there is a sympathetic quality to this version that a lot of fans seem to ignore. Jay said in a recent video that his take on Calypso is basically a child in an adult's body. She was imprisoned on Ogygia since she was a little girl and hasn't been around ANYONE the entire time until Odysseus. It's not difficult to see why she's so attached to him. Her mind isn't properly developed, she doesn't understand how people work, she doesn't understand that it's not ok to try and force them to be with you. And though it hasn't been confirmed, I HIGHLY doubt that this version of Calypso ever raped Odysseus. I don't think a person with the mind of a child would even know what that means, much less do it. And if she had done so, I really don't think Odysseus would have said he loved her. I think that after awhile on the island, Odysseus came to realize that Calypso's mental development was severely hindered by her being isolated for so long. He realized she was a child on the inside, and that's how he came to see her. A lonely, desperate, stubborn child who doesn't understand the nature of people or the world. He resented her for keeping him trapped on the island, but he understood that he wasn't dealing with a rational person, and probably kinda felt sorry for her due to being so clearly messed up. And with her being his only company for 7 years, he came to care about her in his own way. I'd say if anything, his love for her is probably closer to that a parent feels for their child.

this is the best animation of that song so far <3

I LOVE THEM AAA this is soo cool

It hurts seeing her so in pain and alone. Doesn’t better exactly when other heroes arrive, Percy Jackson for example. …but then came *Leo Valdez* And everything Changed ❤

Bro thats it im subscribing

I love your penelope design <3

This Calypso design is so 👌

Yes! Yes to all of this! You portrayed Calypso exactly the way I saw her troughout this entire song! Her facial exprssions are everything here! The angry, feed up look on her face, the dismissiveness and implied eye roll, the tears! She isn't actually apologizing for anything in this song! At most, she is apologizing that Odysseus didn't understand her advances and intentions.

This is one of the best animatics I have seen for Epic. I think you really captured everything that makes Calypso sympathetic, but also all the reasons why she is still an antagonist. Her loneliness that she has expressed for centuries, her putting all of her weight into making Ody love her and making a relationship possible for them, but her overextended, breaking boundaries, and hurting Ody. She does want this relationship to work, she does want this relationship to EXIST, but because of her social inexperience and ineptitude, she can't see that it isn't possible and that she is the problem. And on top of that, I love that you made Ody completely cold towards Calypso since she DID hurt him, and he doesn't want to give her any satisfaction and that he wants to leave as soon as possible. Overall, on top of just being beautifully drawn and having beautiful coloring, I think you really did a good job capturing the emotions of each character and this story.

This is perfect for them

Solid choice 👌👌

Of all the animatics I've seen so far I like this one the best for the extra pushes given to Make Calypso Emote and waving arms and shifting poses here and there. LOVE IT

Why does he love her at all?

Something that I’ve always thought about Calypso is that her story was tragic. She was sent to Ogygia and lived alone where she couldn’t even escape. The one time the gods let somebody into her care, it was somebody that she couldn’t have. She just wanted somebody to love and stay with her, but the only person who ever came to Ogygia was a married man. I know many people view her as manipulative, but she truly is a tragic character, and when I hear this song, I feel her emotions, and this animatic did a great job of showing her pain.

I feel.so bad for her,she just wanted a lover,the gods should send someone for her,she looks so lonely,all alone on a love island, with no-one to love...

I LOVE how you drew Calypso in this :33

This is so cool! It looks AMAZING! Love this idea <3

#justiceforcalypso

When Calypso looked at Odysseus she looked like a mother who sees her child for the first time SO CUTE❤

As men of high class we can all agree that Mel is best girl 🙏 (Jayce is a lucky bastard)

COOL

I just did one-arm push-ups to this song

God she's so manipulative and I hate her but like I love this sm ahhhhh. Like a lot of people are like "she's so sad and lonely and her voice is beautiful" and they totally miss the point of her character, something you obviously didn't miss cuz this is spot on. Like is her story tragic? Sure, but only in isolation. Once you take into account what she does to Odysseus (namely raping him for 7 years), you begin to realize how manipulative she is, which you capture beautifully in her facial expressions (I especially loved her first "my love's too much for you" cuz its such a tactic used by abusive partners and her face says everything in that moment)

A mi me parecio que el poseidon le tenia colera a calipso porq le envio un hombre casado que hasta en su peor momento solo pensaba en su hijo y esposa

sometimes i just go back to this randomly. its such a perfect song for her

Right now I'm ending a relationship with a man who was my partner some time ago and was incredible manipulating, emotionally abusive and gaslighted myself and all of our friends making himself the victim, and you don't have any idea how your animatic is helping to healing me. Odysseus being cold and strong validates me to not taking back my desicion. Thank you, THANK YOU for him hurting her for the abuse. Thank you for showing that her was in the wrong and never respected Ody, thank you for him not stepping back to showing her care that she doesn't deserve. Thank you, thank you for your beautiful art. This is the only way that I can hear this song. Keep doing the good job❤
