Ruthlessness | EPIC: The Musical Fan-Animatic

A song from the Ocean Saga of EPIC Official Concept Album, by Jorge Rivera-Herrans: ​⁠‪@JayHerrans‬
* He was able to take the story of The Odyssey and turn it into a beautifully made musical soundtrack that I hope one day gets to be a stage production or a film. Seriously, check him out, it's great stuff.
I should have released this sooner, but I didn't know this soundtrack existed till sometime after this song came out.

I love that everyone universally agrees that Poseidon spends most of the second verse physically beating the shit out of Odysseus.

[@paulenan9636]

Damn, that one guy trying to get to the boat before being drowned was BRUTAL. Also I love how the literal god Poseidon tells Odysseus and Eurelichos that they fucked up big time and the two just shrug at each other

[@hellboundchaoscommand7567]

There just like “The fuck did we do exactly?”

[@azazelreeds]

Poseidon has a bit of an anger problem, and mostly (not always) cools off after a little bit of earthquakes and storms. They were probably just like "eh, I don't know why he's mad. Whatever it is he'll calm down soon," not realizing he was justifiably mad which makes his temper way worse and last way longer

[@shyguy02.05]

@@azazelreedsand love how here the zoom on his eye on “no…” really sells the “OH FU*K!” In his head like “OH, F*CK, THAT’S WHY HES MAD?? WE’RE DONE”

[@crackerjack-of1ne]

Oh jeez he is getting beat up by a horse. now that looks painful 😣

[@gabrielkamenrider1205]

Posiden was getting an example

[@boowind4432]

0:36 that little interaction where Eurylochus is like “uhhh what did we do??” 😂

[@therealopaartist]

Damn. Ody got curbstomped by Posiden as a horse.

[@Flying_Chaos]

Poseidon turning into a horse brought me so much joy. the attention to mythology was perfect

[@Setvilioux]

GOD that genuine fucking fuuuuury from Poseidon after Ody's "apology", you can feel that hatred. So good!

[@seasnaill2589]

It wasn't even a bad apology, it was just tone deaf. Poseidon is trying to teach him how his sense of mercy is misplaced, and Ody responds by saying 'we didn't want to hurt him, we weren't merciful *enough*'. Poseidon doesn't care that his son got hurt, he cares that his son has to live as a cripple instead of dying a noble death.

[@ryqqu]

noo why did I read furry instead of fury 😭

[@Dragonskull1057]

@@seasnaill2589 That and his apology doesn't fall in line with what he did. If he truly did it just to escape then why did he reveal his name after getting out of the cave in a boastful way. Had he kept his pride in check and not tried to "Send a message" revealing his name then this whole thing could have likely been avoided

[@lulu4726]

​@@Dragonskull1057 antes era bien visto que los héroes se jactaran de sus actos heroicos (me lo dijo una profesora de literatura)

[@giuliacf4180]

Officially my new favorite Ruthlessness animatic just because you gave so much personality to not only Poseidon but also the whole crew!

[@LunaRunaSeluna]

i always love it when people really make poseidon pissed off at what Ody and his crew did.. like-- actually pissed-pissed off! And YOU make Ody's sadness for his crew seem genuine... most times it seems like a trick to stall for time with oceanman

[@spriteking1165]

This has got to be the most disrespectful way for Poseidon to beat on Odesseus.

[@BillyBobJoe-xp5xu]

I loved how you had the surviving crew looking horrified this was amazing!

[@TheGyldenaut]

Poseidon turning into a horse to beat the crap out of Odysseus is goofy in the best possible way I love it.

[@drakobloodwing540]

The the more I sit down, the more realize it makes sense.A God that can turn to a horse.Horses are terrifying in real life.I'd see what wild horses do to each other.So a pissed off.God one no thank you

[@ChasehaWing]

OH THAT WAS SO GOOD. Odysseous holding his hand out to that man in the water calling captain was my favourite part. Both because it showed off the ruthlessness and because it was such a turn around by the time Thunder Bringer comes. Perfection!

[@jamilleyomtown]

I haven't seen an animatic where Poseidon PERSONALLY beats up Odysseus so its interesting to see. And seeing the faces of the crew as the God of the Sea rained hell upon them? Haunting. This is amazing 😍

OMG! This is soooo cool, your Poseidon is so scary. I loved the horse beating up the poor Ody, thanks for sharing your amazin work

[@sewscience]

Wooow!! Your style is simpler than some other animatics, but that allows for so much character moments! Poseidon getting annoyed, Eury not knowing what's happening, there are some really good, yet subtle, reactions. Also, the way Poseidon swings his trident is awesome! And making his hair and beard into octopus tentacles!! Very good design decisions, thumbs up to you

[@wingedhood]

I love them just holding onto the rope

[@Dragonskull1057]

And to think all this could have been avoided had Odysseus just managed to keep his pride in check and not revealed his name to "send a message" once they got out of the blinded cyclops' cave. I think that is the reason why Poseidon rage seems to ramp up after Odysseus' apology because it doesn't line up with what he actually did.

[@danibear00]

HE’S HURT ENOUGH POSEIDON!! I don’t even know what to say this animatic was just AWESOMEEEE

[@viviananan]

Poseidon's beard looking like tentacles was a good touch!

[@KennaDC]

SO GOOD. Odysseus getting beat up by a horse was not on my bingo card, but it's amazing. I love how Poseidon shapeshifts throughout this rather than just being massive and intimidating the whole time. It adds a lot of energy to the song.

[@RevolErtaeht]

Awesome, always like it when a 'Ruthlessness' animatic includes horses, either Poseidon taking the form of one or the waved looking like them since Poseidon is also the god of horses Love the way Poseidon's face is shadowed during Odysseus lines, gives a more terrifying look

[@ghostsurfer23]

There are some phenomenal animatics for this song on KZbin, and yours stands among them! That's no easy feat!

[@spejscoon610]

It's more cartoonish than what I'm used to but it lets the animatic get away with much more than the more realistic ones! And the timinig with the beats? DAAMN! I love it!!!

[@aephaemeral]

i love details i love how poseidon turns into a horse i love how so pissed off he looks at 2:54 i love this animatic :D

[@kuldana413]

Omg, when Poseidon's beard coiled up like tentacles gave me giddy chills.

[@MilkKnight]

The character the design is silly but I love it, it’s simple but the emotion in their faces and eyes is amazing 🤩

[@Detrifus]

3:30 Poseidon: Get a load of these guys, amiright?

[@omarsalem1219]

This animatic was amazing, loved the sequance where he kills the men and the way he beat odysseus In horse form looked really painful

[@anansajohnson9139]

One thing you can count on is ody getting his ass beat in a ruthlessness animatic 😂😂😂😂 but this is great🎉❤.

[@drakobloodwing540]

No matter what version he's always going catch these moisturize hands

[@ryanwatt6706]

*100* god seeing a horse whooping is the coolest thing I've seen all day!!!!

[@stardust948.]

This was brutal in the best way possible

[@addymarkel4972]

the hoof to the face OOF the BEATDOWN JESUS the shadows forming into a silhouette of a tentacled face DAMN this is the most physically brutal ruthlessness animatic ive seen esp the grin when he rakes the waves with his trident? ruthlessness personified

[@jact1300]

THIS IS ACTUALLY IMMACULATE. every frame makes this even more of a cinematic masterpiece. amazing job 🫶🏽👏

[@adorbpokefan5862]

That was insane, the way you used the water and expressions to show Poseidon. And him turning into a horse was a brilliant touch!

[@cuppajoewithjoe2148]

I love how every animatic of this song I've seen agrees that Poseidon isn't just yelling at Odysseus, but that he's personally beating the hell out of him. Edit: I love how Poseidon pinches his nose after Ody's "apology" like he's saying "I asked you to do ONE THING, man."

[@valmid5069]

Poseidon: Ruthlessness is mercy ourselves! Mexico (bans his statue) *…And I Took That Personally*

[@berryawesomecamden]

@@valmid5069 Mexico banned a statue of a mythical character?

Siguiendo ese pensamiento varía rompieron esa estatua y el huracán bajo a nivel 3 (soy Argentina y oí del chisme por las redes)

[@JenamDrag0n]

The thing I love the most about your animatic is your characters' facial expressions, especially on Horse Poseidon (cuz that's tricky to do well on an animal face!), this is one of the few I've seen that makes it seem like Odysseus' horror at losing hundreds of men all at once wasn't just a ploy to cover up his opening the wind bag, and I loved how you actually get to see the characters crying out for their captain during the section when Poseidon is drowning everyone. I think it was watching your version when I realized that was actually present in the song cuz I just didn't hear it before.

[@the26thLetteroftheAlphabet]

the little shrug!!! i love it so no much, and all the rest of it!!

[@italahermanovszki1880]

Probably one of the best Ruthlessness animatic out there! I was already considering getting Ruthlessness related tattoo but your animatic makes me want it even more. It's super fun, I love everything about it and the drawing is just gorgeous!

[@WittingAbyss]

This is incredible! You're the first person I've seen to use Poseidon's whole "god of horses" thing too!

[@Okaychan09]

This is one of the best poseidons ive seen! Your animation was so good, all the expressions were so good! Ody being beat up by horse poseidon was brutal!

[@gwenfairholm8080]

God damn! And I thought Ody got the shit kicked out of him in Anniflamma's version! Man I love how much personality you poured into every second of this! I really hope you make more! I'd love to see what you do with thunder bringer!

[@DarkLadyJade]

This is a really cool interpretation of this song.

[@jonjonvids]
