[@Kat-xy7fm]

She's not playing. She is puppeteering. Letting him go back without controlling how he did it would be playing games that could leave nymphs dead. If they had brought the entire remaining men back as an army to defeat her they might have won. Having their second in command afraid for his life and begging everyone to run would, at the very least, kill morale, and give her many more strings to work with if any of them still chose to confront her.

"A woman" "...What." In all honesty, it really seems like Odysseus is just too gay or too devoted to Penelope to truly understand the temptation that his soldiers experienced when faced with Circe, and I find it pretty funny

This is, hands down, the best comment I have seen on Epic😂😂

[@christianlecroy980]

It's Greek mythology so probably both in all honesty

[@doloresgronenberg5882]

Honestly, I think that he was clearly surprised because Eurylochus was talking about something so terrible and powerful that was worse than monsters and gods, so Odysseus was thinking about the most terrible things imaginable, but then Eurylochus said "A woman" and all of that came crashing down and he was like "A woman... really? A normal everyday woman?", I think that it's obvious in the way that part unfolds, though of course he is very devoted to Penelope, but Odysseus didn't know anything about Circe or who and what she was when Eurylochus came to him talking about some terrible being who was worse than gods and monsters that they could previously resist and that they wouldn't be able to resist and defeat this one

Easily the best “Puppeteer” animatic I’ve seen. I feel honored to have watched it so quickly after it was released. •The transition between Eurylochus leaving with the men vs him coming back through the bushes, panicked, and rushing to tell Odysseus what happened is my favorite interpretation of that scene I’ve seen so far. •The transformation of the men being turned to pigs was so visceral. You captured how terrifying an ordeal it would be perfectly. The shadows was a really cool and creative effect. I was scared for them and could imagine myself in their shoes •Your Circe design is both beautiful and haunting. Every other scene, she’s walking this balance between gracious host and conniving sorceress. You played both sides of her immaculately. I can’t wait to see what you release next!

[@ja-melvinson7994]

I LOVE THE CONTINUED USE OF THE STRINGS. The fact that it’s just a core part of what you have her do and how she traps and plays with people is so cool! Plus, the other nymphs happily being in on the whole thing and helping to lure the men in is so smart (even with their trauma, they’re doing it cause they trust Circe’s judgement, which is such a cool parallel for Odysseus and his men’s eventual mutiny). There’s a lot to love here!

[@mocha8323]

One random fact, I figured out: the reason why in the snippet of the underworld saga when they said “558 men who died under your command” one of men in Circe’s castle, (I think) was so drunk that he fell through the floor and died, what a way to go out

[@JabamiLain]

Dang ! Talk about tough luck. If only some very despicable people in real life went out like that too.

[@NerroST]

It wasn’t the floor, it was off the roof… because he was so drunk he went onto the roof and fell asleep, and when they were preparing to leave and he heard the call to come, he fell off the roof… I mean it is definitely a way to go out, I only remember this because of having to read Circe during Sophomore year and thinking, man what an idiot.

[@imakeanimatics2575]

Didn't Poseidon mention how he had 43 men left under his command in ruthlessness but now another one died 🤣.

[@KwisatzHaderach-10191]

I just assumed it was 601 including Odysseus because of the '600 men under my command' lyric

[@matilda4204]

Elpenor!! Poor lad. Even funnier because in The Odyssey, they stay with Circe for another year, and he dies at the end of that year, but in Epic they’re only there for like a day, implying that at some point Elpenor snuck off to steal wine from the witch who JUST turned him into a pig 💀

[@lelaa.9274]

In a modern adaptation of Cerci’s story, she was a very kind and powerful goddess. However, on her island, some sailors came by for food and rest, she was very hospitable towards them, but of course, they had different plans when they saw Cercis's beauty, home, and riches. They planned to SA her, kill her, and steal from her. (In Classic Greek Mythology) Of course, she's immortal so she didn't die from the brutal beating and SA. That's when she turned them into pigs. From then on whenever a man or a crew of men showed up, she would test them to see if they were decent or act like vile pigs. When they would fail her test that's when she would turn them into pigs. So, in this song, she may seem like a seductress and an evil witch, but after years of loss, abuse, and mistrust from others who can blame her for going on the offense when looking at the face of an individual who has harmed her over and over again. I encourage all to read more about Cerci, it's one of my favorite stories of a Greek God, it also talks about her first love; "I've been in love once before" c: (Edit: changed a few words to make what I said not factual to Mythology; what I said here is not canon to Greek Mythology)

[@HyacintheMonet]

What’s the source? Does the Odyssey mention S.A. etc?

[@lelaa.9274]

@@HyacintheMonet It in Cerci’s book, idk about Odysseus. I will say the book is an adaptation from the multiple mythologies that have Cerci in them. I’m not sure if it’s Canon or theorized to be true, but the plot and idea of who cerci could be and her back story is very interesting and an enjoyable read.

[@cid_of_krebs]

​@@lelaa.9274I agree the book is good but I'm not sure about the accuracy of everything... However in the Odyssey once she sees that Odysseus respects her she treats him more as an equal and help him in a lot of ways! She's not just an evil witch who despise all men

[@HyacintheMonet]

@@lelaa.9274 ah if you mean Madeleine Miller’s book it isn’t canon to mythology, where Circe was rather the one who acts questionably regarding Odysseus’s consent. I think rather than talking about it like it’s a fact you should specify that you’re referring to a modern book and not ancient sources

[@lvdw3531]

​@@HyacintheMonet, in the song where he goes to save his men, she sings about how they 'faced a heavy loss' and that things 'are revealed in acts of lust'. So I think that it's canon in this musical.

ODY'S LITTLE PONYTAIL I AM OBSESSED this is actually amazing I love how you used the colors in this animatic and for Wouldn't You Like, plus the facial expressions are immaculate as always

[@CyberX-X]

Ximena this is one of the best Epic Animatics I've seen yet and it's all down to your amazing art and the subtle yet deep meanings you portray, so allow me to list my favourite parts: - The colour change when Eurylochus returns is so prevalent when paired with the music change and I love how you've done this scene in Eurylochus' Pov as it ties in well with the music and allows us to feel what he may be feeling. - The best part of this animatic is how you showcase her allure and power, the string like magic she casts to lure these men in is just so elegant yet scary. The scene where she turns these men into pigs is just so incredibly haunting as she is both precise in her powers yet violent in the way she pulls them and turns them into the animals. I love especially how you end off with her leaving just a tinge of fear/magic around Eurylochus which indicates his fear of her along with how he 'can hear her still'. - I love the different interpretations of Eurylochus' final attempt at stopping Odysseus, when I listen to it I imagine Eurylochus finally breaking through to Odysseus and how Odysseus struggles to find an argument in retaliation such as the 'I don't know' line. Your interpretation holds such emotional depth though to Eurylochus as it shows his true fear and compassion for the crew as he is desperately trying to find a way through to Odysseus and shows Odysseus as headstrong as ever walking right into the lions den 🦁 - My final thing I loved is how you perfectly showed Circe in this final back to back with Eurylochus. Rather than the obvious route of showcasing her violent nature and how strong she may be, you went down a route of showing her watching what she longs to protect and care for. These simple scenes of her watching over the nymphs smiles and her petting the lion makes the audience genuinely care for her and show that this villain has way more to her than just the power she holds. Sorry for the rant but I haven't been able to get this animatic out of my head since my first watch!

The idea that Eurylochus running back to Odysseus and being so insistent on running away and leaving the others to their fate was another part of Circe's spell in the hopes of chasing away whoever was left of the intruders and spreading the word as to keep people away from her island, puppeteering herself a messenger so to speak, is so genius!! Not only does it truly make you comprehend the threat Circe is- to be capable of toying with the very moral code of a person like nothing- but it also makes Eurylochus' actions, and his utter betrayal and disgust at the idea of sacrificing any of their men later make so much more sense!!

Your Circe design is immaculate

This AMAZING. I’m in love with all of it oh my gosh. You really captured everything quite well. Super into the convo with Eurylochus and Odysseus. Odysseus probably has a decent idea of what he wants and does Not wanna deal with that after everything rn. But ofc he’s still concerned and needs to save the men! Even severely sleep deprived and frustrated with them though he is. (side note: Ody’s “what” is my favorite thing 😂) Circe’s whole thing is brilliant, especially the marionette strings on the men she’s transforming!! And even Eurylochus and Odysseus, showing her intentions. The pork the men are eating and then the horrifying transformation, well done. Hermes I see you!! Love the inclusion, since we know he’s there. And I hope you know that no matter how many animatics of a song exists, we will still be excited for more! Everyone has their own unique interpretations, and I’m excited for all of them! So if you ever chose to do Done For, I’d be over the moon. Only if you wanted to of course! ❤ Thank you for doing Puppeteer, I really wanted to see animatics for this one too!!
