ENJOOYYY
epic is by ‪@JayHerrans‬ !!

DID HE BLOODBEND HIM LOL

[@theearteest06]

absolutely

[@Chococat-uv4xd]

Poseidon is a waterbender confirmed

[@spookycrew7905]

Oh my gosh he blood bended!

[@questworldiangreenknight7455]

Amon is a demigod now

[@gameweasel7602]

God of seas meets a human, which are fleshy meat sacks full of salt and water!

[@ToaArcan]

Major props for having the Laestrygonians do their thing instead of just being Poseidon's backing vocals.

[@ttowen]

Came here to say exactly this. We actually got to see them in this one!

[@theearteest06]

its actually WHY i made this! i saw a reddit post expressing disappointment that no big videos had them, and i was like "omg.. i could do that..."

[@questworldiangreenknight7455]

Yes! I was wondering when someone would finally incorporate them in an animatic!

[@stevenhedge2850]

seeing how all of the other animatics had forgotten about them its just nice they are present

[@loonelytoon6523]

You may be the first to actually make the Laestrygonians destroy the fleet, super nice touch!

[@omarsalem1219]

YES, FINALLY LAESTROGONIANS, THANK YOU

[@Icebuerger4016]

YES!!! Finally payoff for The Land of The Giants

[@mr.eldritch1589]

Epic the musical Poseidon is like compensation for all the people who grew up with Percy Jackson Poseidon and got a very different idea what he was like in the actual myths…

[@silentnight6810]

Tbf he had a couple of thousand years to work on his anger issues.

[@sorinamarcu5357]

​@@silentnight6810 In my head I imagine Sally made him change cuz you can not act like that and expect to win Sally Jackson heart.

[@Tuskbumper]

We need PJO and epic animatics

[@KnittingTinker]

@@Tuskbumper Percy meets Perseus 👉👈

[@shadowprincess3724]

Granted, the way Poseidon presents himself to Percy (his actual kid, who he likes) wouldn't quite be the same as the way he presents himself to the guy who mutilated one of his children

[@clockworks360]

I always love it when animatics put the end bit of "Keep Your Friends Close" at the start of Ruthlessness animatic :D I love your Poseidon design and fhe constant rezor toothed grin is so fun! And the water constructs! Love them!

[@questworldiangreenknight7455]

Same!!!

[@dreamgrrrl]

I LOVE POSEIDON’S EXPRESSION AT 0:04 ITS SO HAPPY BUT PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE THIS IS AMAZING

[@TheUnwillingPest]

First animatic I've seen who used the original audio and included Poseidon shouting at odysseus

[@ra1nynightz]

I LOVE how you had things align with how they happened in the Odyssey. The Laestrygonians destroying the ship with boulders, and the ship actually FLYING away?? Amazing details!!! Also, those water steps were SICK, so was the giant water Cyclopes

[@boomgirlbucko]

I love how this paid closer homage to Jorge's vision about the giants throwing boulders

[@shadowprincess3724]

This is my favorite interpretation of Poseidon EVER. He is DELIGHTFUL and has the perfect amount of feral energy. ...also he actually looks like a shark, which is very important to me.

[@buttermati0ns649]

did Poseidon just lift him using the water in his body?? 1:12

[@melonenfan8561]

Blood bending 😂

[@ezracohen6020]

@@melonenfan8561 damnit I was beaten to the punch (I was about to say the same)

[@TakenUserMiles]

He's just a bloodbender ig

[@bivist]

this is actually so underrated???? i think this is the first ruthlessness animstic that portrayed Poseidon how i imagined him. absolutely feral. also the art style??? chefs kiss

[@wasseroxyd7729]

Oh my god. I love that the Leistrigones are included. And they even are singing? That's amazing. I love it. :D

[@WittySomething]

They're the backing vocals for Posiedon in the song, so yep, they're the ones singing.

[@PuccaLover15]

Imagine if all the gods had something like this. Not just backup singers, but they’re own band as well haha. They’re all powerful gods after all, so of course they would have their own theme song guys. Poseidon with his backup singers and piano guy. Zeus and the Thunder Bringers on electric guitar.

[@BitesforNugget]

I'm so in love with how much delight Poseidon is taking in fucking with Oddyesseus. The smile is so sadistic and his movements are almost playful until he traps in head in the water. Such excellent storytelling and art all at once! 💕

[@anansajohnson9139]

0:04 love he looks similar to your design of the sirens. 1:06 Laestrygonians🎉 1:13 no him bloodbending ody😮 1:34 continues the tradition of ody getting his ass beat by Poseidon😂😂😂 3:10 yes, including the Laestrygonians wreaking ships!!

[@gramps3351]

I LOVE YOUR DESIGN FOR THE LAESTRYGONIANS SO MUCH !!!

[@matetorok9880]

I love your poseidon design! His hair is fricking fabulous, and I like how... unapologetically evil and malicious he looks. Plus, how he just slaps Ody around is a nice touch. And the gigantic water Cylcops was a really great idea

[@unfriendlyaesop]

i LOVE poseidons chilled laidback expressions that shift between 'im chillin' to 'yeah im gonna have fun with this'. the subtle laestrygonians !! i love how intimidating they are. I love how much fun ur having with the flash frames and the BLOODBENDING is SO fun But i am OBSESSED with the scale of the water cyclops and how you frame a lot of the shots around it it feels REALLY cohesive and the shot of odysseus peering into the reflection is SO fun TRADITION CONTINUES POSEIDON KICKS ODYSSEUS' ASS HIMSELF the use of shadows as well is SO NICE and i think you REALLY out did yourself !! ALL OF YOUR WIDE SHOTS ARE SO FUN but so are all of the close intimate shots!!! also . Wholly approve of removing the intensity squiggles around the fleet drowning shots

[@LuckiLuci42]

ODYSSEUS OF ITHACAAAAAAAAAAAA

[@shadowstrider8295]

_Do you know who I am?_

[@DilutedH2SO4]

This was so amazing, the water cyclops and the inclusion of the laestrygonians especially!!!

[@DiamondCrash]

Man this might be my new favorite one of these, I love that you actually included the Laestrygonians both as Poseidon's backing choir and the ones who destroy the ships. And him freaking bloodbending Odysseus was such a nice touch.

[@DeynjaZN]

Oh Gods, let me have his hand in marriage..

[@ellapowell1316]

I saw Poseidon looking like a deranged fishboi on the thunbnail and was like "Hell yeah! Sign me up!" You did not disappoint, I love this. From the Laestragonions to the trident the bloodbending and the suffocating with water, it's super cool and clever :D

[@notsolonedesert]

The animations? Poseidon using the water as his stairs? Showing how Odysseus and Eurylochus watch out for each other during the turmoil? In awe and sobbing.

[@notsolonedesert]

LEt me not forget the Cyclops!!! This is such a unique take to really rub it in omg

[@samtastic6827]

I love it! finally an inclusion of the laestrygonians as well!

[@ratjpg3325]

USING THE WATER IN ODY'S BODY TO THROW HIM AROUND??? THE LAESTRYGONIANS BEING INCLUDED???? THIS IS BEYOND AMAZING AND YOUR POSEIDON DESIGN SLAPS!!!

[@grimoireweiss6428]

This is the 3rd Ruthlessness animatic where Poseidon says “Odysseus of Ithaca” and I absolutely love it. Also nice detail with the giants throwing those boulders, just like in the official story.

[@kurou_18]

FINALLY SOMEONE WHO DID THE ENDING LIKE I IMAGINED i mean, every animation i've seen is great and stuff, but it's nice to see something you've imagined done by someone else

[@Laralia]

Wow. Just wow. This is personal. The water Polyphemus is terrifying. Poseidon uses his other offsprings, the laestrygonians, to brutally murder and totally destroy Odysseus' fleet. His grandchildren are avening his son while the water shaped into his son holds Odysseus' ship. Poseidon doesn't care about the fleet. They're just soldiers who follow orders. The laestrygonians can have them. But the one who gave the order to stab his son in the eye is Odysseus. And Poseidon must personally make sure that he dies after witnessing his whole fleet get destroyed. All in all, this is extremely underrated.

[@RawwkinGrimmie64]

THE LAESTRYGONIANS THROWING BOULDERS TO DESTROY THE FLEET!!! YEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS I HAVE WAITED SO LONG TO SEE THIS,THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!

[@mulchie2898]

Arteest!! I've said this before your work is absolutely incredible and im giggling my ass off about the blood bending but please make sure to take breaks! Thank you so much for pumping out cool shit like this though 😊

[@lilythgeist]

This is now my favourite version of Ruthlessness. Congrats :) It's amazing :) Love the absolutely psychotic looking Poseidon

[@gracefullyinthegrave1964]

I love how many animators have Posiedon getting brutally physical and just bullying Odysseus in the second verse 😍🤩

[@Catgirl_1205]

I love your depiction of the Laestrygonians, I don’t think I’ve seen anyone else do that when they made an animatic of ruthlessness

[@Th3Overthink3r]

My mind was blown when I saw the Lestrygonians.

[@Goose-v2t]

I love how Odyssey has fear in his eyes when apologizing. It’s such a cool detail.

[@siefnour1017]

SHARK TOOTHED SMILE POSEIDON AAAAAA

[@stevenhedge2850]

All of the animatics have been great, but i appreciate that you do have the Lastrigoryans, since it is the land of the giants. Great work!

[@fuyim]

I love Poseidons design so much and the ARTSTYLE IS LITERALLY 🤌

[@silentnight6810]

Goooooooooooooooooooood. Nice touch including the "ODYSSEUS OF ITHICA"

[@lyn_cei]

props for the laestrygonians but also? your poseidon is unreasonably hot wtf best design ive seen so far and this isnt personal bias at all haha

[@bestpriest2224]

Just saying, This is one Poseidon I'd be down to marry.

[@spacezombie13]

thank god, someone actually included the giants in the "land of the giants".

[@aperson3996]

I like how in this one, Posiden is almost sharklike, with his teeth, and such, really nice touch for his line in the first part of the song!

[@ungodfearingghost5476]

i love how straight up feral poseidon looks, like design wise its very accurate and silly

[@pondbrothers806]

FINALLY! An animatic with the giants!!

[@star-wood]

Poseidon really said: hmm remember your 60% water? Yeah i take that personally

[@Rose-qi9ns]

I LOVE YOU POSEIDON'S DESIGN

[@sherrifjenkins9229]

That was so badass! Talk about EPIC, if ya know what I mean.

[@imadgenius]

Finally! One with the Laestrygonians!

[@halothere6995]

This employs both the sea and the for some reason horses

[@questworldiangreenknight7455]

3:10 I absolutely adored this shot!!! Absolutely awesome use of the Lastrygonians!!!

[@elenjulia8271]

I am in love with Poseidons hair and the laestrygonians design!!

[@gameboymesker0537]

YOO THE WATER PILLARS HE WALKS ON IS SO CLEVER AND EPIC (pun intended)

[@CrowsILike]

1. I like how, while he's mostly big feral grins and dramatics, moments like 0:07 and 0:52 show that he's actually pissed off. 2. Laestrygonians~! Love their design. 3. This might just be my megalophobia speaking, but water!Polyphemus just... staring is so creepy I almost wish he'd just crush the ship.

[@AUCreatoer]

OMFGG YAYAYA THE LAESTRYGONIANS ARE HERE WOOO, YOUR POSEIDON DESIGN IS AMAZING LOVE ITT AND POSEIDON BLOODBENDING ODY??? COOL AS HELL 3:59 GOD DAMN THE BLOOD FROM THE DEATH OF THE CREW??? SUCH BADASS BG DESIGN AHHHHHH

[@The_REAL_Mannequin]

I love this! The fact you brought the giants into this as well. And the facial expressions are on point 👌

[@thebrandunsafeone7184]

[@balthazar8545]

YES ABSOLUTELY THIS IS JUST JOW I ALWAYS IMAGINED IT IN MY HEAD

[@Crqckedvibe]

I’m glad Poseidon didn’t overreact to the fact that his son was blinded 😊

[@Dark_Icy_Rose]

NAH, NOT ME FINALLY REALIZING POSEIDON HERE GREETED ODYSSEUS WITH OPEN ARMS AT THE START 😭😭

[@alexeysimushov4971]

You are the first to make the Lestrygonians destroy the fleet, but I would still add Poseidon, using his powers to destroy some of the fleet because you can actually hear the waves in the audio of the song during the carnage sequence. But I shouldn’t complain. I’m just glad that Lestrygonians are included in the first place. Great job!

[@sonofcronos7831]

Jorge has Poseidon tsunamis and the Laestrygonians boulders destryoing the ships.

[@AllMightMHA4]

I love the video and how u made Poisedon great job

[@fandemusique4693]

I love how youthful the gods look, first Athena then Zeus and then Poseidon, it make sense as of course the gods, especially womanizers like Zeus and Poseidon, wouldn't want to look old. Also I like how Athena, Poseidon and Zeus all have these wild hair, it make feel how they're family.

[@Dawn_the_dragon]

HAHA new animatic for me myself and the little Epic gremlin that lives in my brain to consume! It is my personal mission to watch EVERY new epic animatic and even though school starts in a few days and I’m supposed to go to sleep like before 1 am I’m going watch this instead. *chaotic gremlin noises*

[@sIren61]

OH. my. butterflies. FIRST OFF, HOW DO YOU WORK SO FAST AHAHA SECOND, THIS IS--- REALLY COOL AND... UNIQUE??? LIKE THERE'S NEW STUFF I HAVEN'T SEEN IN OTHER ANIMATICS i really love the "bloodbend" comment AHAH and I really love how Poseidon's... men?? idk - THROWS BOULDERS AT THEM AND THAT'S JUST HORRIFYING I LOVE HOW ODY AND HIS CREW IS ABOVE JUST TO WITNESS, EVERY SINGLE ANGLE ON HOW THEY DIE UGHGUHGRUHGDIGHR sigh,,,, i love this

[@rurikaunimoto]

Honestly? This very well might be the most accurate rendition of the song, though not entirely sure about how Poseidon looks, it works well. This was amazingly done.
