The Greatest Show | OC Animatic

[@AP-tq6sn]

*Some context, cause let's admit it some of you are so confused:* - Nyx is salty because Lyner's mom came to his quiet, tourist destination planet and basically destroyed it and the people inside it except him. So he's out for revenge. A phrase here which means 'kill everything she loves', and the pendant that Lyner is wearing (which I'll get into later) is definitely is bonus. If you're wondering what's the deal with his smoke, it's because his planet was known for specializing in herbs, but yeah, now that everyone's gone, _might as well get his enemies high and murder them while they're in their drug-induced euphoria._ - Kay-Ren used to be a construction worker, she's got insane strength skills, which explains why she can tackle two people without breaking a sweat. Her fam is currently missing. Upon first meeting, she and Lenna had a fight each other, and she _almost_ won. Kay would have squished dearest Lenna under a boulder if Mr. Lenna's dad hadn't interfered (that's good, otherwise we'd have no Lyner, and no Lyner means sadness). He managed to convince her to not kill his daughter and instead work for them, thus becoming Lenna's first servant. - Mir is Lyner's partner. Initially, he tried to assassinate Lyner (because of his mom) and start an uprising against his family, but eventually they fall in love because Lyner is one adorable bean. Also, they have unique bedroom activities which we will _not_ get into. - Jet is... Jet. I didn't get much info on him, but I guess he cooks food and drinks alcohol. (Update: alright, so he used to be in the mafia, really messed up big-time by making leader's daughter pregnant and gets imprisoned. Lenna gets him out, and in exchange for his services, he asks her to destroy his planet, which is why he feels guilty and likes drinking to wash away the depression brought by requesting an inhuman creature to destroy your home planet. Fun stuff.) - Lyner is the son of Lenna. Why is he not like his murderer of a mother who goes around slaughtering innocents in the name of peace? (Look, I'm just mad she had to make Nyx go evil, like what's a herb planet gonna do? Drug everyone up and then slaughter them--- hey, hey wait a minute...) That's cause she's usually away where her duty calls her, and he spent a lot of time with his wonderful father, Hansel, who taught him the wonders of kindness, which is why Mir fell in love with him. Instead of finding a mini Lenna, he finds a sweet boy who did nothing wrong. - The people we see in Lyner's vision is his family: Lenna (or Lena, the older posts spelled it that way), aka lady with the wings, Hansel, aka man with horns, and his sister is Aggie, aka the younger girl with the horns. - The pendant is a family heirloom in Lyner's family, and it's passed down on their child. It has to be given to them right after their born though, otherwise it doesn't work. It's usually given to the firstborn child. The pendant grants its wearer immortality, immunity, super strength, and cosmic power. There are only two pendants. Their origins are unknown to Lyner. If you take the pendant away from the wearer, it will lose all senses and control, and it will do everything to get a replacement. If it doesn't get one, it will disintegrate and die. - In Lenna's defense, she only wants peace in the universe and she has to do unsavoury things to get there, but eh, I'm still mad at her. So yeah. I've only seen this animatic today... and I've rewatched it for more than I'd like to admit. The characters are cute as heck (Lyner screams in a distance), and the story's got me intrigued. All info comes from Lazy Eule's Tumblr, if I'm wrong at some parts, feel free to correct me. This animatic is gonna blow up. Anyways, wow, this was fun. Thanks for making this, Lazy! Edit: _now here's more character intros and my theories in case you want to explore more of this lovely stuff, it's very, and I mean very lengthy tho, and if you read the top, you have your basics covered already_ - Mr. Lenna's Dad was the previous holder of Lyner's pendant. He has to be pretty persuasive to talk down a strong, angry 'about-to-murder-someone' midget. Mr. Lenna's Dad was an intimidating ruler, and that's where Lenna follows, although she's softened up a bit because of Hansel. Notice the past tense? Yeah, Mr. Lenna's Dad is dead. 'How can you know, stranger?' you may ask, and let me tell you why. Remember the rule with the pendants? Yeah. I wanted to tell you not to worry, and that he probably died of natural causes because I didn't want to peg Lenna to be as heartless enough to forcefully take the pendant from her old pops and watch him disintegrate. And I realized. Pendant grants immortality. Whoopsies. So... you can just imagine what happens behind the scenes... I imagine Lenna just going to her father like, "I'm sorry dad, I love you and all, but I'm gonna give birth to my firstborn child, and he'll be needing that," and then proceeds to yank the pendant out. - And here's where my guesswork comes in based off snippets I know. Lenna's still kicking and alive somewhere. Nyx doesn't want her to be alive, but what can he do? She has a freaky pendant that makes her unkillable and unstoppable. There's only two pendants in the whole universe, one's with Lenna and the other's with... Her son. So sneaky little Nyx hatched a plan to garner the attention of Lyner and Co., Nothing too big, otherwise Mother would come. No, he only needed Lyner's pendant. Plus, it's easier for him to take a pendant from less experienced Lyner compared to Mrs. Pacifistic Murderer. I'm not too sure if he knows how the whole transferring of pendant works, but if he does know, then I can assume his plan goes somewhere along the lines of: a) forcibly take Lyner's pendant, hope Lyner doesn't kill him in the process, escape, and relish in Lenna's grief as he takes away her only son _Or._ b) drug up Lyner, make _Lyner_ fight against his mother, which will be harder for Lenna since it's her own son she's fighting, so she'll hold back more, increasing drugged Lyner's chance of winning. If Lyner wins, then great! If Lenna wins, then he should start digging his own grave. However, even if they both die in the process (which I doubt, it's not gonna be _that_ kind of story), it's all great for Nyx cause he killed two birds with one stone. Plan b didn't work out as well as he thought because Lyner brought his friends, and as we all know, the power of friendship saves the day. If Nyx is smart, he would have had a backup plan besides 'smoking and making people dance'. Either he escapes, or Lyner manages to capture him, and they win. Since he had Kay-Ren under his mind magic, he can hold her hostage in order to make Lyner cooperate, yada-yada, you know how it goes. - On that note! I also have another theory. It sounds far-fetched but hear me out. You see the thing that killed Mir and Lyner's family in Lyner's nightmare? I think that's some juicy foreshadowing. If you pause at the right moments when monster big mouth comes up, you can notice a few striking details such as: The monster's ears. It has that unique design I've only ever seen in Lyner's family. So, we've established that monster is his relative (of course, it can be "just a coincidence", but it seems very unlikely that this slipped Lazy's attention). Also, notice the collar. That's where they always put the pendant (see: Mr. Lenna's Dad, Lenna, and Lyner). Monster is glowing the same glow as pendant, but has no pendant. You can see that the tie is undone, no glowing stone, and monster is looking unhinged. I tried counting the corpses by the monster's feet but it's hard to tell if there really are three corpses or two. Anyways, it's possible that Lenna loses her pendant (probably due to Nyx), goes crazy, and it's a battle between Lyner and his mom, kind of like my other idea, only this time, the other way around. It's also possible that Lenna dies, someone else gets her pendant, but that doesn't make sense if you have to take into account that the pendant can only be transferred at birth, unless Lenna's been missing for an extremely long amount of time (and I doubt that since Aggie's young, and monster looks considerably older). My problem with "Lenna is monster in Lyner's vision" is that the monster isn't wearing what Lenna wears, and Lazy's depiction of a crazy ex-pendant holder is more uncontrollable tentacle teethy (... you get what I mean) and less smug smile, "hi there, I killed your loved ones, now it's your turn to die." Maybe the "someone got Lenna's pendant" theory works if we see another character with those defining Voxelle ears, and if they found a way through the "must be transferred at birth" issue (doesn't explain the loose collar but my brain is running on coffee fumes, and I need sleep, but I procrastinated, so here I am). Edit: It just occurred to me that it is possible that another pendant-wielder could exist in the universe, after all it is a big place. Whose to say there aren't any other pendants? All we have is info _from_ Lyner's family. Maybe a Voxelle, but distantly related from Lyner's family. It would make sense with these inconsistencies. About the corpses, if we're being considerate with the shapes, I guess we can count the the 'flat pointy thing' as Lenna. Note that none of these are confirmed. I'm just guessing how things turn out, and this is becoming more of a ramble than anything. Thanks for reading this essay, until next time on 'holy crap, how long is this comment?' Edit Edit: Apologies for the word vomit, haha, especially to those who read through the whole thing.

I love it when people will turn songs like this into something completely different from what it's originally supposed to be. I used to listen to this song and feel hyped and excited, but now that I've seen this, I can only see it as a villain trying to trap the protagonist in a world of happiness, only to use it againsy them by tearing it all down. But the part that really got me is when he sings, "Impossible's coming true, it's intoxicating you." And he's literally blowing smoke at everyone, intoxicating them into an illusion. All I'm trying to say is I've watched this too many times now and everytime I rewatch it, I find something else to geek out about. Thank you, and enjoy the views.

I love how Nyx doesn’t seem genuinely evil- he looks so, calm when he’s dancing and doing all this. And obviously seems to show little care for our main protagonists, only for Lyner because of his bitterness towards Lyners mom, and even as he’s ‘defeated’ he just seems very relaxed yet stern. You can tell he has an artistic and more enthusiastic side, but has lost so much he doesn’t even care about anything else except getting revenge.

Here's my little theory on the figure in Lyner's hallucination; I think the smoke at first is showing him is deepest desire. His family is happy and together, and Mir and himself being hopelessly in love with each other. (I'm kinda wondering whether Lenna knows about the relationship and how she feels about it). Then the smoke starts showing him his deepest fear. Sort of like a trip gone bad... He sees his father, sister, and Mir dead. Murdered. And the killer? A combination of Lenna and himself! More accurately what he's afraid that he could become. I'm not sure whether it's because he's afraid to become a ruthless killer like his mother / what could happend if he doesn't learn to control his powers / or if he loses his pendant. Notice how his mother isn't lying dead with the others. I also noticed that the clothing the figure is wearing is very similar to Lyner's own in the video. He's wearing black pants, a fully bottomed shirt and his pendant with two black ribbons. The figure is wearing black pants, a shirt, and not to mention that the figure seems to be the same specie as Lyner (see the ears) and their hair have part in the same place (and the same part as Lenna). The shirt is more open than Lyner's and the pendant is missing and it seems like there used to be something around the figure's neck (the ribbon hanging loosely around their neck), so that might tie in to the theory that he's afraid to lose the pendant and what would happen if he did. I mean think about it for a bit... Lyner's a kind hearted, gentle pacifist with the power to destroy worlds if he so wishes. A power that he doesn't have complete control over or completely understands. That has to terrifying. And seeing as Lyner is described as an over thinker, it wouldn't be a stretch to assume that he would worry about something like that. On another note: Holy cow I loved every second of this and I am now following on KZbin, Instagram & Tumblr and can't wait to learn more about this world or the characters in it! The art style is amazing and the characters are super likeable 😍

Add on there were four bodys so his mother was included in the death count. He is deffo afraid of loosing his pendant and going on a rampage killing everything in his path.

[@donnatouchmeh5928]

Sana all

[@Dannaalee00]

I think that actually now that Ihave some context from comments on other videos but not from social media cuz i have none, I think that figure might be what Lyner fears of becoming (again) because of the video that was out last night the Wolf one, and I think that actually Lyner fears becoming a monster like that again, or going rogue or becoming like his mother. This is probably confusing I hope it’s not but- idk, this is only what I know from only YT, the comments, and teh barely little knowledge I got from the videos and yeah.

[@mickey1338]

Let me try and see what's going on- Fancy man has been introduced, he has the power to make people high and control them. He manages to make one of the group members high. Our member goes and dances with Fancy man. It then happens to our other buddy, long hair and then glasses boi. Everything turns into a magical ballroom. Little baby is confused, why are people being possessed and why are they dancing? Little baby finds Long Hair and takes him back to reality. They find glasses boi and do the same. They look at their best friend who's dancing with Fancy man. Glasses Boi is the most mortified, he loves our friend. Fancy man makes their friend highx2, causing him to see perfect things, like his lover, Glasses Boi. Then he starts seeing strange and bad things. Then he is saved by glasses boi. They love. Little baby tackles Fancy man, who is angry. He then gets his army of possessed people to defeat our group. Edit: I'm sorry- I know there are names for these characters but I can't help but call Fancy man, Fancy man.

After seeing Nyx's background, it can be confirmed that villains are just people who weren't saved. Nyx isn't really in the wrong for wanting to take revenge on Lenna, and of course, he's warped after what he's been through.

C B animatic means a rough unfinished animation

[@nyellieellie5769]

Tiny The Weirdo I think what this person meant to say is that most animatics out there are literally just pictures with slight movement, often use tweeking, and not that many frames (somewhat like a storyboard). This person is just surprised that there is at least some rough animation mixed into it (which is an actual animatic).

[@TinyMafioso]

@@nyellieellie5769 Oh, I hope they mean that- A lot of people think that what you described is actually an animatic, so idk if they do or dont

[@nyellieellie5769]

Tiny The Weirdo Ahah. The term animatic has been gotten lose and lost its actual meaning due to KZbin. Animatics with little animation and is just frames timed well with the music is close to storyboard rather than an animatic. An animatic is rough animation or incomplete animation, which is this video.
