Everyone focuses on Athena saying "Don't," but ignores the fact that her presence made the situation worse. Odysseus was leaving. He was done. And he was right, too. There were more cyclops. And they couldn't beat one. If they had turned to finish him off, they would have died. Athena showing up and telling him to finish it was almost insulting. It felt like she cared less about the men that would die and more about the glory of her Warrior winning.

But thats exactly what her relationship with Odysseus was, she didnt love him as a friend. Of course, he was the man she loved most, but you could not equate it to the love one has for their friends yk. The gods used their heroes as toys, they controlled them, made them fight their monsters and showed them off for their own pleasure. Athena was no different, she cared only for her reputation and how Odysseus made her look. And its sad because youre right, if Athena had not come it wouldve spared Odysseus like 10 years perhaps. Mortal heroes never meant much to the gods, they played them like chess pieces.

Interestingly in the Odyssey Polyphemus knew by a prophecy that Odysseus would blind him. He just never imagined a tiny human be the infamous Odysseus. Odysseus was grief striken but also his pride was hurt because he was called a coward so he gave his name to show him he is not afraid of him. Polyphemus also left double course. Either Odysseus never reach home or if he does, reach without his comrades (which happened)

Can we discuss Athena's exclamation of "Don't" for a second? She knows exactly what he's about to do and knows, or at least has a good idea, of what will happen by giving his name. She even reaches out to try and stop him. She is trying to save him from more blood being on his hands. She tells him to turn off his emotions so that he has a higher xhance of winning without losing anyone he cares about. Athena, with the few words she says here, truly shows that she does care for Odysseus. She knows how dangerous the cyclops is alive. It's not that she wanted more bloodshed, but rather, she wanted to save more by ending the one. The singing in the song is phenomenal and we can feel the pain, fear, rage, sympathy, etc just everything. Truly a magnificent piece. The animation of is is shown off extremely well too.

Something I just noticed on this animatic that applies to all of them is the difference between the scenes in Odysseus’ head versus the real world, in his mind he is always highlighted in light grays and whites but in reality he is alway framed with dark grays. This shows how in his head he is the morally correct person but in the real world everything of far more complex. This is the kind of stuff that always floors me when I watch Wolfy’s content! The attention to detail is absolutely stunning!

long live this new hiperfixation wolfy has

I am absolutely obsessed with how your designs show such a depth of emotion with even just like...subtle shifts of expression. Like Odysseus at the beginning of this sequence still seemed like he was in shock when he was singing until he started crying and....ugh it's just so good!!!

God the blinking eye balls from the dark of the cave to the slumped shoulders and shocked expressions of Odysseus and co during the line "there are more of them" made this moment all the more chilling for me. This animatic made that sequence one of my favorite in this song, 2nd only to "I am your darkest moment" (which, his expression? The dead, tunnel visioned look in his eyes that shows no light in the way only a grieving, angry man can??? Screaming I got shivers) to the end.

I have learnt every word of Epic: The Musical in the past 36 hours and I can feel myself barrelling towards a full-blown obsession but I have no regrets because at least your art inspired it in the first place

Polyphemus smiling at the end be like: " My water daddy's gonna fuck you up "

I love Athena's hand that reaches for Odysseus before he taunts Polyphemus. She really tried to stop him before he messed his whole life up

In 1 line of text "Odyseus drunks A cyclops makes him angry,then he blinds him and makes biggest mistake of his live

I'm sorry but at 2:41 my one thought was- Athena: Why did I just get a call from your teacher that you set frogs in the classroom _again?_

2:23 curious how all those cyclops stacked around each other to get all those eyes Like That

CHILLS. LITERAL CHILLS. The transitions paired with the intense expressions right afterwards, not to mention the work in perspective, anatomy and body language? The way Odysseus is tense in the beginning to being more hesitant as if pushing through the grief to do what he has to do? And then the smile at the end when Odysseus reveals his name? It's simply magnificent. I've been learning animation recently and you've been a big inspiration for my works! I just admire how you create, and I'm going to be working hard to achieve my dreams..I love this animatic in particular, so don't mind me rewtaching this one. Amazing work Wolfy!

the fact he explained who he was when they left is the moment its no longer Mercy but arrogance and hubris.... its the very reason Ruthlesness is so good

I really love those moments of quick animation like Odysseus wiping his tears where you see the fluid motion.

I am in LOVE! In almost all of the animatics I've seen from Survival to My Goodbye, none of them have been bold enough to show Polities' body in such detail! You've given so much emotion to both sides, Odysseus and Polyphemus! You've given so much meaning to the song, fucking amazing work! I know that the Epic community has you at its front lines with the impacts your animatics have caused, hyped up perfectly for amazing results!

Another amazing video from Wolfy! I audibly gasped when you showed Polites, and I loved Eurylochus nearly shitting himself behind the rock with Odysseus! You showed the grief Ody went through as the first of his men died on his behalf since the war started 10 years prior, and it all culminating in Polite's death and him taking the discord canon headband from him. Top tier stuff! Keep the trauma coming!!!

Also the cyclops smile at the end was TERRIFYING knowing what Ody's gloating causes

3:06 Biggest mistake of Odysseus' life.

I love how the Cyclops smiles at the end cause he knows who to call his daddy to kill

The expression at 3:28 was absolutely astonishingly perfect

[EURYLOCHUS:] Captain! Captain! Captain! [ODYSSEUS:] We must move quickly, we don't have much time He didn't notice I mixed lotus in his wine Mark my words now, this is not the end [EURYLOCHUS:] But captain, what'll we do with our fallen friends? [ODYSSEUS (ODYSSEUS & SOLDIERS):] Remember them When the fire begins to fade For the fallen and afraid We are not to let them die in vain (Remember them) We're the ones who carry on The flames of those who've gone And our comrades will not (die in vain) [ODYSSEUS:] I need all our hands on his club This is how we're getting out of here Use your swords to sharpen the stub And turn it to a giant spear [SOLDIERS:] Let's kill him! [ODYSSEUS:] His body is blocking the path If we kill him we'll be stuck inside [EURYLOCHUS:] Captain, where do we attack him? [ODYSSEUS:] We gotta stab him in the eye [SOLDIERS:] Yes sir Remember them When the fire begins to fade For the fallen and afraid We are not to let them die in vain [ODYSSEUS, SOLDIERS:] Remember them We're the ones who carry on The flames of those who've gone And our comrades will not die in vain [ODYSSEUS:] Now! Scatter! [CYCLOPES:] Who hurts you? [EURYLOCHUS, spoken:] There are more of them? [CYCLOPES:] Who hurts you? [ODYSSEUS, spoken:] Hide [CYCLOPES:] Who hurts you? [EURYLOCHUS:] Captain, we should run [ODYSSEUS:] Wait [CYCLOPES:] Who hurts you? [EURYLOCHUS:] Captain, please [ODYSSEUS:] Wait [POLYPHEMUS:] It was Nobody, Nobody [CYCLOPES:] If nobody hurts you, be silent [POLYPHEMUS:] Don't go! [ODYSSEUS:] Let's grab the sheep and away we go [ATHENA:] Have you forgotten the lessons I taught you? He's still a threat until he's dead Finish it [ODYSSEUS:] No [ATHENA:] No? [ODYSSEUS:] What good would killing do When mercy is a skill more of this world could learn to use My friend is dead, our foe is blind The blood we shed, it never dries Is this what it means to be a warrior of the mind? [ATHENA:] Don't! [ODYSSEUS:] Hey, Cyclops! When we met, I led with peace While you fed your inner beast But my comrades will not die in vain Remember them The next time that you dare choose not to spare Remember them Remember us Remember me I'm the reigning king of Ithaca I am neither man nor mythical I am your darkest moment I am the infamous Odysseus

Yooo you’re the GOAT in this comment section!!

The smile of the cyclops at the end is so indicating that Odysseus is a fool to say his name

Oh my god yes, I was waiting for this animatic! Wolfy strikes again

watching you animate odysseus doxxing himself is so beautiful

I completely forgot that the cyclops said the name "Nobody" and not the word- and am now getting intense flashbacks from when I first read it years back, friggin ingenious

Your style is so beautiful, I love your animations

Oh my god he closed Polites' eyes I can't even Wolfy this is incredible

I love how you captured so well the beginning when Odyssey seems like he is on autopilot out of shock before he is asked what about his fallen friends

Bro really said “I’m gonna tell my daddy on you”

The ending moment on the ship just reminds me how lovely it'd be to see your work on the scale of DreamWorks Sinbad

given what happens in ruthlessness. i like to think that the cyclops isn't talking to his kin, but his father. the coldness of the reply when he says nobody hurt him, portrays a parents disappointment that their child won't tell them what really happend. the despair in the cyclops when he says don't go and not just point around him and say them. means whoever is speaking to him, isn't fully there.

If you listen closely, you can hear Athena facepalm in the distance.

heart-wrenching, phenomenal, and delectable animatic. Many thanks. That grin at the end is what nightmares r made of XD BUT ALSO THANK YOU FOR THE FLUFFY BOI AT 2:32! SO CUTE! LOOK AT THE LIL LEGS AHHHHH. THE BELOVED!

I love how so much of this story is in the grey area. The fact that yes, they needed food, but they still tried to steal from the cyclops. He had a right to kill them, especially after they slayed one of his sheep. In the end sure the mercy was good, being how they blinded him, the only mistake he made was saying his own fucking name! Leading posiden to kill all but odesses. which is fair when you hurt, steal, and disable one's child

Theres still the disproportionate response and the misunderstanding leading to Odysseus's actions being arguably justified, he tried to apologize and leave the cyclops the sheep they slew, but the cyclops wanted nothing but blood, and blood he got enough to blind himself. Its a multilevel lesson, If you're winning, take your winnings, dont push your fate.

@@spiderlily723 yeah, that's crazy but you do realize he did that after he started killing and trapping them, right? I'd poison a murderous beast that was trapping me to hunt or exhaust every single one of my friends to death. That specific action can't be criticized due to the necessity of it for one party's base survival.

@@candiedcrusader7841 You seem confused - nobody died until after Odysseus poisoned Polyphemus. I think John Wick tells us exactly how breaking into your home and killing your pet are more than enough to murder someone. ;-) /joking

Even though it was still stupid to taunt the cyclops, you can't deny it was still a badass taunt "Remember me, I am neither man nor mythical, I am your darkest moment, I am the infamous Odysseus."

*The way your portray emotions is so real.* It’s EXACTLY how I’d imagine every character to look and act in this situation, and it’s perfect! The humanness of these heroes comes across so perfectly, and that’s why your animatics are really my favourite for this musical. Others may be more detailed, but yours are so human, and they flow so well :) Keep up the amazing work!!

my gratitude for you making this musical come to life visually cannot be put into words, this is truly magical and you do everything so well, especially how grief is shown and the very very real and heavy meaning behind every “remember them”

THAT SMILE AT THE END IS HORRIFYING OH MY LORD GREAT WORK

3:45 biggest mistake in the whole of the odyssey

oooh don't worry Odysseus... he will remember you very well when he will speak to his father, trust me on that one

Cyclops family- "Oh, and who ws doing that dramatic musical speech out there" Polyphemus- "sigh....Nobody..." Family- "Well keep it quiet out there."

The one part I sort of remember from the original story (as I heard it told anyway) was that when Odysseus was shouting back at the cyclops, he didn't *just* screw himself over by giving his name, which was passed straight to Poseidon. From what I recall, it also alerted the cyclops that the people who blinded him were in the process of escaping, so he hurled massive boulders at them. Sure, he was blind and none of them hit, but Odysseus literally rolled the dice with his entire crew's lives, whether they'd all get killed in one shot, for literally no reason. When they'd already basically escaped!

the who hurts you part honestly makes me really sad because you can hear Polyphemus’ desperate little ‘don’t go’ and it just sounds so young and scared. It kind of makes you view Polyphemus as a young child who is blinded by rage at the death of his beloved sheep. With that perspective he doesn’t seem like a cruel cyclops who wants to kill but as a hurt child who lost something extremely important to him. Even the smile at the end looks like that of a triumphant child. Like a kid in kindergarten about to tattle on someone for saying crap.

I cant wait to see how you di the animation for survivor

His biggest mistake was telling the Cyclops who he was...

just discovered this recently and I'm obsessed

And once again I am amazed by your work! And you make these animatics so quickly aswell! The emotions you capture are increadable! I love your work, Wolfy! You are such an inspiration!

not wolfy single handedly dragging me back into my Greek mythology special interest. I thought I was freeeee

Polyphemus' smile at the end was bone-chilling. Incredible talent!

This is so amazingggg! i can't wait for your animatic on Survive. Also Polites at 1:38 made me teary eye🥺💔.

“I’m the reigning king of Ithaca.. I am neither man nor mythical..” wow!

I love the tiny touches of Eurylochus periodically comforting Odysseus the best he can. Gentle questions, hands on his shoulder, bracing to physically pull him in the right direction, etc. Even though Odysseus may annoy him from time to time, Eurylochus knows he is suffering and is trying to help. It’s an amazing touch.

I love the extremely creepy smile Polyphemus gives at the end after Odysseus reveals his name. He knows what’s going to happen to him, and is reveling in this knowledge
