Neal Illustrator Solved God Games | Epic the Musical: Wisdom Saga

[@anniefemmas5097]

In Neal Version, the Olympians act LIKE A FAMILY Yes, they have conflicts, they are not always happy with each other, but they are a family. They love each other deep down, and Athena's hug begging her dad hits so hard because in the end she is a daughter and her father, No gods, just a family

[@PupGamer93]

Even Hephaestus pouting like a child that his cool robot got destroyed

[@karinahVT]

its super emotional. BC Ares and Athena are brother sister god/goddess of war. SO when he said the whole "is she dead" it was like.. Did i just lose my sister. and then at the end, Zeus' pride got to him, and he realized he hurt his favorite child and messed up by letting his anger out.

They're the only one that shows Ares and Athena actually caring about each other and respecting each other both as gods of war and siblings throughout the animatic which is why I like it the most haha.

[@cid_of_krebs]

I agree I don't like comparing animators, they're all unique, spend dozens of hours working hard and refining their craft, they have the generosity to share their art on a platform where we can enjoy it for free, the least we can do is show appreciation and not diminish their work. Edit: I don't want to sound aggressive, it is totally ok to have favourite but for example going into an animation's comment session to say another one is your favourite, or that they are better than other animatics you've seen isn't respectful in my opinion

[@ageridthesilverdragon4440]

I love Neal Illustrator's version of "God Games" so much. As for Hera's "duplicates", I'm assuming it might be her nymphs, because she has a shit ton of followers as the queen of the gods. I also love the version of Athena ending this whole fight in a hug, because she is canonically Zeus' favorite daughter (I also loved the throw-back to Zeus holding baby!Athena in that statue at the beginning and him holding Athena in his arms at the end).

42:50 Athena is Zeus' favorite kid so seeing the statue of him holding her as a baby in the throne room, even if hidden behind his massive ego statues, shows he cares about her. Neal made Athena's hair match his, even smiled like he did at 42:11. They took a bit longer to polish the animatic and it was well worth the wait. This animatic feels like Jorge's idea of a boss rush and I am absolutely here for it. Btw Vengence saga comes out Halloween Woooo!!!!

[@HagathaHexMe]

My favorite detail is that out of all of Zeus's children Athena looks the most like him. Same hair, same smile, and by the end of it the same yellow left eye and facial scar. It exemplifies the fact that Zeus is Athena's sole parent and how despite their differences they mirror each other.

[@Coolkid99880]

People forget that Athena is canonically a daddy’s girl and Zeus favorite child.

[@CorvidQueen319]

Fun fact! Aphrodite was once a war goddess, and I think Neal was kind of making a nod to that by having Aphrodite empower Ares' broken sword. Aside from that, one of the most common reasons why people devolve into mindless violence is because of love; hence, violence caused by/empowered by love being a deadly and powerful thing. I also loved how Neal showed how all of the gods in God Games are actually part of a real *family*. Ares, Apollo, and Hephaestus are all Athena's siblings. Aphrodite is her sister-in-law. Hera is her step-mother. Zeus is her father, and she is his most favorite child. I just... I love how there are both little and big tells that display those relationships. And the way that Ares called out so *desperately* when she was fighting Zeus? They may fight and get on each others' nerves, as most siblings do, but you can see just *how much* Ares truly loves his sister with Neal's animation. It is chef's kiss.

[@NeNoItMe]

I think Neal played here more on a theory that Gods cannot die - that's why they were able to go so ham on each other during fight scenes, Athena struck Ares and Aphrodite directly and they were just fine. I hope it's more cannot than we think cos Imma need to have a word with mister Jalapeno if Athena is dead dead

[@Airier]

I'm assuming she's alive because Calypso said goddesses can't die in the song right before God Games

Im hoping he's trolling us but Jorge had a short of him saying Athena's dead in "This is my impression of Odysseus in Epic: the Vengence Saga". From Troy(singer for Hermes) he said that Teagan Earley(singer for Athena) had finished her recordings. TLDR im hoping Calypso is right.

[@wynnefox]

@@shatteredreality_513 I think Zeus is in a different class from the other gods. He can actually harm/ kill them where may not be so much so for each other or mortal vs god.

[@DevinDoingstuff]

There is some information to be known. In the old story, Zeus beat her into a coma *before* the war, which was later put in.

[@elevenscoobert6794]

Ares in Ancient Greece was mostly the God of the common soldier than how he is represented as sheer blooshed nowadays. Caring about others and wanting to protect those dear to him are very in character for him. He is sickened by Odysseus not trying to protect his man instead of sacrificing them because Ancient Greeks had a very strong belief in the bonds formed in the battlefield.

[@SingingSealRiana]

Which is interesting, he was not in high esteam Athena was way prefered, especially amoungst tue gods, no one likes him but he is the only god who respects his daughters and is shown protectiv of them, a very much not greek value

Yeah Neil's work is great. Being, I think, the only one to touch on the familial aspect of the Greek gods. Athena not pleading to the god Zeus, the King of Olympus, but to her dad. To see why the life of this mortal is important to her and she needs his help.

[@jaskawal2967]

I don't know where I read this but Zeus ate Athena's mother while she was pregnant and then Athena bursts out of his head after clearing countless obstacles through her wisdom. So Zeus is kinda like her mother too since he carried her for like months and gave birth to her instead of her mom 😭😂

[@thedocblock6421]

I love how, in both versions of God Games, Athena's clutching her head when screaming at Ares after her breaks through her stopping time. Because it isn't actually stopping time, it's just speeding her own thoughts up so fast that it appears to slow down time. So when he does that, he's essentially giving her a Godly Migraine. Insane detail. I love it so much.

[@Tate-t5i]

One thing that people don't comment on a lot and I think Neal did perfectly id that Ares and Athena are siblings and they seem to act like it here with the constant fighting and everything is a competition however they truly care for each other and have each other's back

God Games gets even better when you think about it in context of the full saga. In GG; Athena starts out praying to her god-king, but ends with asking her dad. In the whole saga: Odysseus starts out with his goddess, and ends with his friend. Athena and Odysseus are constantly through the same thematic journey; its what the entire musical puts at center stage, and Neal makes it the corner stone of their art.

[@84YamaK]

I kinda like the fact that Aphrodite creates the blade for Ares's sword. It's almost like a reference to the savage nature of war that rises from the love of the kill or battle.

[@84YamaK]

...Or possibly referring to Odysseus's narrative where he's left a trail of bodies behind in the wake of returning to his wife, who he loves truly, madly, and deeply.

It is not only about the (stellar) animation by Neal though. The way Neal understands using every detail from the song and mythology to their advantage to tell the story is just amazing. Even when you just listen to God Games Apollo's and Hephaestus' parts seem rushed, but the way Neal tells story, fixes the pacing of the whole song. God games also does not feel like many little separate event with this animation but as a whole. The gods seem like family finally. Of course, the illustration and animation are absolutely insane, but the storytelling by utilizing even the smallest details make this the superior god games animatic for me.

[@MsMoranguinho92]

The part of "Love in Paradise" when it focuses on Odysseus and how broken he looks when he says "I know"... chills. Just a short time before that, his brother-in-law/best friend admitted that the reason it has taken them so long to get home is that he opened the bags of winds, which resulted in the destruction of the fleet. Next he had to make the choice of sacrifice 6 members of his crew to Scylla or get them all killed by Charybdis. Then his crew engaged in a mutiny and disowned him as a leader in favor of killing one of Helios's cows, but the moment they got in trouble with Zeus they came clamoring back to him for help and guidance, calling him "Captain" once again. Keep your friends close and enemies closer indeed.

[@PrayerWarrior4]

I love for Apollo you see the notes from his solo surrounding him while he sings.... And the statues in the hall fore shadowing the final shot with Zeus holding Athena! Neal has incredible fight scenes and the attention to details are amazing 🤩

[@StormTalara]

30:35 the head dress is used in Black Panther as the queen’s (his mother’s) head dress. Apparently it’s a (according to google) “Zulu-inspired flared hat, called an Isicola, which is a South African/Zulu married woman hat.”

[@jimjimcherie]

43:13 I'm glad you cried, because I did too, and still do whenever I watch it, and believe me, I watch it daily. Also, in case you didn't catch it, Zeus got a scar on his wrist and on his left eye, were Athena struck him while in God Mode. Also, Neal has a background as a professional animator and it SHOWS, they're here to flex on all of us. This is my absolute favorite take, because they are portrayed as a family, dysfunctional, but still a family. Athena was Zeus' favorite, among all the statues of himself, he has one of himself holding Athena, that was a huge tell. This song became better because of Neal in my opinion, it hits waaaaaaaaay harder to me now.

[@magstrid4295]

I love torturing myself emotionally by watching it every day and crying EVERY TIME!!!

in 37:12 his head is like kind of broken cus it symbolizes a volcano since Hephaestus is also the god of volcanos. (or at least how I interpreted it.) And when Athena offers her hand to help Ares it's like because they're still siblings after all. (ALSO the transition at 40:34 from Athena to Zeus is so cool because it's true they have the same hair so like that was an amazing way to put it.)

[@cobraglatiator]

Hephaestus isn't in greek myth, but Vulcan is in Roman myth, IIRC, Hephaestus is just god of the forge i think, or maybe he does have something to do with volcanos... but i know in Roman myth Vulcanus is also a god of fire. which H isn't.

[@Goldencat_WCUE]

@@cobraglatiator I don't quite understand what you're saying but to clear it up Hephaestus and Vulcan are the same person just in different pantheons. Hephaestus being the greek god and Vulcan the roman one. Both are gods of fire, volcanoes, forges, and blacksmithing. (Hope this helped

[@cobraglatiator]

@@Goldencat_WCUE they were syncretized yes, but there exist some small differences even in syncretization between roman and greek gods. from what i remember, and remember reading, Vulcan is a fire god, Hephaestus isn't. could be wrong but that's what i've read. i remember hephaestus being god of the forge in greek myth, just didn't remember if he was a god of volcanoes also, but given he's supposed to have his forge in one, you'd think he would be, wouldn't you? i knew i was kinda rambly and "stream of conciousness" or w/e in my previous @ but didn't think i was that confusing. lol

Mythologically speaking Calypso...has about 5 different origins, this is Mythology after all...but the one Homer seems to use is Calypso being the Daughter of Atlas who sided with the Titans in Zeus's Rebellion, making her more Titaness than Olympian (whether or not that disqualifies her as a Goddess is between you and my High School Mythology Teacher, but that's another tangent entirely). Anyway, as a Titaness, she was Exiled following Zeus letting out the Hecatonceres, ending up imprisoned on the Island with no one else on the island and no one able to get to the island. So, she is indeed very much stuck on the Island and Odysseus is literally the first person she has seen in Millennia.

Idk if that was the intention, but if it was, it makes it even more heartbreaking, because of course a mother wouldn't want her son to die, even if she's waiting to see him again (even in death).
