The harsh 'No' from Ody after the line 'Open Arms' was like a slap in the face

[@Luca-Nox]

I’d like to think in part it’s out of anger, not for what he did to his son and wife, although obviously that’s part of it but rather anger that the memory of his friend would be desecrated in such a way when policy said that he was being sincere when this man saying that he’s just trying to save his own skin.So to him, it’s like one final desecration to the memory of his best friend.

The way Telemachus just looks at Odysseus as he unlocks some new dad lore is hilarious. Poor baby is traumatized beyond comprehension and he learns his father is very different now from what Penelope told him.

[@whiskingonastar2109]

Ody's dad lore would go so hard. Like one day they’re just eating breakfast: Tele: Wow, this food is good! Ody (staring at a cup of water blankly): I tortured Posiedon on the way home Tele: Penelope: Ody: Ody: I took drugs from Hermes to fight a witch

[@ShadesTheMan]

Did anyone notice the part where the suitor said "Now the rest of us are no longer the threat" it's like referencing to Athena's "He's still a threat until he's dead!" after blinding the cyclops?

[@TCM_Fuecoco]

OMG WHEN HES BEGGING FOR “OPEN ARMS” HE FLASHES INTO POLITES LIKE OMG😭

[@corone8960]

im sure that pissed odysseus off even more, trying to hide under his dead friend's philosophy after what the suitors chanted about doing to his wife and kid

[@Momo_Minomo]

That HAD to make his rage worse. Polites would never have plotted to SA or murder the hosts that have graciously accepted them as guests for years. To hide their sick sadism behind a thin veneer of Polites' genuine kindness was just insult to injury.

[@fizzydizzystudios4768]

[@magniwalterbutnotwaltermag1479]

Menelaus also came back and he's the one who told Telemachus of the latest news on Ody. Though that's just the og version. I think Diomedes, Nestor, Teucer, Neoptolemus, Idomeneus and Philoctetes also made it home safely. Menelaus went through his own mini-Odyssey lol. ​@hxjiq

[@extranerdinarytroper4835]

One of my favourite parts is that one of the suitors still calls him “Old King”. It makes Odysseus’ distrust of these guys more sensible.

[@Yourlocalluckycat]

I thought it said " Oh King "

[@Cosmosdestructor]

@@Yourlocalluckycatit’s both. He says “old king” first, and then “oh king” second.

[@Lightmaster677]

That and the fact that the other suitors continue to actively and openly plot against him despite the one man's words. "No longer a threat" my rear end.

[@cristianespinal6910]

I love that he uses the same tactic as scylla uses the torches to find the men

[@withedoter6277]

Because they are the same👌🏼

[@riainfante2238]

When your fighting unless the other person can see in the dark having a light source is a bad idea because you may be able to see a couple meters but they can see you for miles, Ody used this to his advantage he found their position shot out the torch to scare them before he killed them

[@thegodofthesea-g4n]

The ensemble said "Polyphemus" He was ruthless like Poseidon. He lured them into the palace (with the weapons btw) like Circe. The only monster he didn't use is the one he defeated. Charybdis. He knew it would work because he beat her, making her viewed as weak to Odysseus so he didn't use her tactic.

[@heartpopper]

4:43 ODYSSEUS SWITCHING TO POSEIDON FOR A SEC WAS CRAZY

[@Rosemarythehivewingrainwing]

Wellllllllllll.... I mean they both slaughtered a group of people for hurting/trying to hurt someone close to them Poseidon because they blinded his son Odysseus because they threatened to kill his son, and uhhh....the Penelope thing

[@adamsivanga5705]

Yes he learned

[@Jakiii_th3rat]

Well, it does make sense I mean “I mean you totally could’ve avoided all this, had you just killed my son. But nooo,” and “Old king! Forgive us instead! So thst no more blood is shed, let’s have open arms instead!” “.. no.”

[@canyousee2578]

him smiling at "you think i don't know my own palace? i built it!" is going to live in my head forever i hope you're ready to pay rent

[@red_tomato_22753]

Animators of EPIC just decide they don’t need sleep when they can animate 😭 THIS WAS SO GOOD

[@WarriorTProductionsYT]

You got that right. SLEEP IS FOR THE WEAK

[@KailynValentin]

My favorite part is how he’s hunting for the torches, just like Scylla- “we are the same you and I”

[@laineelynn1756]

Yeah it reminded me of that

[@mixedbaggamer]

He's also paying action back like with Polyphemus, is as ruthless as Poseidon, is using tricks and deceit like Cersei attempted to do, is hunting the Torches like Sylla, and calling them out on their bulshit Lane bear their true nature for all to see and passing righteous judgment upon them as king( shout out to @senakumo1149 for coming up with the idea)

Now matter what every artist DEVOURS the song Odysseus with their animatics

[@AUCreatoer]

REAL

[@chelseamae3012]

Ody being blue with red eyes is such a good contrast, and I love how flashes show the parallels between characters. Also, I love that this animatic shows Telemachus actually attacking one of the suitors and proving how strong he is. The scene where they're trying to capture him is definitely on of my favs

[@DarkGraid]

In the song when the suitors attacks Telemachus you can hear splashes. Telemachus is actually fighting and killing suitors, he just gets overwhelmed by their numbers.

[@zashgekido5616]

Yep. Fun fact, in the live stream he took down like 20 suitors on his own XD

[@nyx_nycto]

4:42 I didn’t expect a parallel between Ody and Poseidon, but it DOES make sense and I love that!

[@Alazylunatic]

1:50 I love his smirk :)

[@navimcfarland9113]

He's like OK stoopid

[@azussy]

i love the contrast of ody being blue and everyone else being red! it really shows how ruthless he was poseidon style and. ocean is blue. yeah 🔥

[@manic_matrix671]

This and usually when people regularly see red vs blue its usually seen as Villian versus Hero and ik Poseidon was a villian and he was blue cuz ocean but besides that- The Suitors were worse with what they planned on doing and Ody was preventing it by killing them all; technically being the hero in this circumstance while the suitors would obviously be villians.

[@extrusdnterre1485]

There were no heros here bro, it's the point they make when Ody talks about mercy Suitors were no good ppl from the beginning but nor was Odysseus​@manic_matrix671

[@AUCreatoer]

I adore the contrasts sm, the suitors being red while Ody being blue and Telemachus being green makes this all pop so nicely. OMG THE PARALLELS ARE SO GOOD- THE SUITOR SAYING OPEN ARMS CHANGING TO POLITES AND ODYSSEUS CHANGING TO POSEIDON IS SO SICK AHH

At least he knows his dad mega loves him and his mom

[@JayVulture]

Tested and senses honed against gods. They faced a monster. The lessons he learned shaped him to the man he is. This captured the sum of his odyssey so well. Ares is probably so proud that Athena’s prophecy came to fruition.

[@extrusdnterre1485]

He's no man, being a monster is being less than a man, that's what it meant for Ancient Greeks and ig it's the same for this story

This song lives rent free in my mind, idk how many times I've heard it and watched animators with their different yet similar approaches to the madness of this man. I love it ♡

[@boblecat]

This goes so crazily hard. Telemachus's expressions are so perfect, kind yet determined. My gosh.

[@Momo_Minomo]

This is AMAZING! I love the flashes to earlier fights showing how Ody's journey and traumas are influencing this moment. 1:27 The men holding torches that shine like beacons in the darkness showing Odysseus where to strike like with Scylla, 2:20 the flash of Polites as the suitors tried to escape using diplomacy, 3:40 the Cyclops eyes on the suitors as they try to trap Telemachus in a confined space and break him, and 4:43 the flash of Ody as Zeus as he seeks to punish them all when their leader dared to harm an innocent under his protection. 🧑‍🍳😘

[@haydenphoenix1024]

BRO THIS IS GO GOOD. The composition of each section was absolute perfection. The way you cut to different characters to keep them in the scene was so good. The cut to Telemachus during the mercy speech at the end *killed me* (in a good way). The way you synced up the arrow noises to the arrows flying was so good. This was very cinematic. I have so many thoughts i could probably write an essay on everything in this one video, well done

Notably the Open Arms thing with Polities flashing, Poseidon flashed in Odysseus, and TELEMACHUS!
