2:39 I like how here this animation demonstrates how to Cyclops had no ill will at first and was just curious about what strangers were doing in the room
My recommendation for the next saga is: Puppeteer by gigi, Wouldn't You Like by Ximena Natzel, and Done For and There Are Other Ways by AnniFlamma If you want to seek out another animatic for Luck Runs Out that has the official soundtrack, I'd recommend Jen or Crashite
In the original telling of the Odyssey, it was Athena who destroyed the ships and sent the storm. The Greeks had desecrated her temple when they finally got into Troy. She kept Odysseus and his crew alive because he's her champion but he hadn't sacked her temple. Poseidon only wanted to kill him and him alone. In this, there's the idea he's singing about, which is probably the reason, but (in my headcannon) Poseidon is also petty. The Greeks won against the Trojans, the people Poseidon was backing in the fight, so this was him basically taking that out on them.
Poseidon is the most protective of his children but the gods who have monster children are use to their kids being slain by a hero but Odysseus sparing Polyphemus after blinding him (which is Greek it’s worse to blind someone they kill them especially with the time period they were in where medical help wasn’t as advanced) so to Poseidon he felt like Odysseus was saying that Polyphemus wasn’t even worth the kill which made Poseidon feel like he was insulting him as well Plus Odysseus can kill a helpless human baby but not a cyclops who was trying to kill them?
What makes the bag opening even worse is they were so close to home if they had just waited they would have been home but instead they got impatient and now they got the soldiers who didn’t open the bag killed And Odysseus mom saw them get blown away so for all she knows her son is dead now she’s heartbroken
Long rant incoming: Odysseus not apologizing is a common theme in the cyclops and ocean saga. Instead of just apologizing to the Polyphemus and being heartfelt, he just gave excuses for his actions. “We didn’t mean to steal” ok but you did it anyway. Just because you didn’t MEAN to doesn’t mean you didn’t do it. Instead of seeing the emotions behind why the cyclops may be hurting, he just immediately goes to damage control. It’s important to note that the cyclops is basically a runt. The other cyclops in the cave don’t care about him, that’s why when he said Nobody hurt him they didn’t even try to check up on him. They just told him to shut up even tho he was in clear pain. His sheep is the only creatures that he had, they were friends to him not just animals. And the person who gifted him those sheep? His father, Poseidon. So from Poseidon’s point of view? His son’s house was invaded, his sheep (which he knows meant a lot to Polyphemus and a personal gift) killed by strangers, no apology instead a consolation gift, and then on top of that he was blinded. And the person who blinded (idiotically) told him his name and address. And once again, he doesn’t do an actual apology. Now granted, I don’t believe it would have changed anything. Like you pointed out, his whole song was about being ruthless. The likelihood of him showing mercy was not high. I think Poseidon wanted to test to see if he learnt the lesson Poseidon was trying to teach him. But even during said test he didn’t even fail right 🤷 Anyway, that’s my long rant over ❤
Hey! Thank you for your reactions, they’re really good 🐸 For Luck Runs Out, you didn’t hear the whole song, that animatic was from before the song got released, I recommend you watching other animatic with the full song!
4:59 there’s a funny thing about the island in the sky bit Jorge addressed on his social medias. When he was reading the odyssey he came across the term ‘floating island’ around the time Aeolus was going to come in, and he interpreted it as an island floating in the air rather than the actual phenomenon of an “island” floating around on the ocean randomly because it has no anchor to the sea floor.
Poseidon doesn’t actually give a damn about the cyclops as a person “I mean you totally could have avoided all this had you just killed my son. But no. You are far too nice” He cared about the fact that Odysseus had essentially insulted him by basically mocking the cyclops by telling him his name expecting no retaliation. It’s more of a “you damaged my stuff” than a “you killed my beloved child”
It alright to mess up and if you want to see the other version animatics of ocean saga. Do definitely check out Luck run out animatic Jen and Ruthlessness animatic Anniflamma (I like her design and depiction of poseidon 🐎 🌊 )
Please be careful of what playlist You watched, cause This one didn't has the full version of the songs, so You Will not fully grasp the full meaning of the songs
Poseidon killed 550 men The cyclops has killed 7 men 557 men (until now) has died under his command anddd his lunch ran out on Ruthlessness and it kinda kinda goes on from their
Hopefully all the corrections and suggestions aren't too demoralizing! I love all the analysis and outward thinking you do as opposed to sitting silently to "get nothing wrong"
Funnily enough Eurylocus is Odysseus’s brother-in-law. He is married to Odysseus’s sister. (The guy singing in “keep your friends close.) ALSO!!!! Before listening to the next saga go listen to the Habenera from the Opera “Carmen”. (Emphasis on the music but the theme of the song is important too.)
When Posiedan says "I am your darkest moment", he is quoting Odyseuss in Remember them. Odyseuss said it to the cyclops in the end of the song. Aalso the second in command is Euryloches who, in the original texts, is technically the brother in law to Odyseuss. I'm so glad you're doing these animatic reactions. The story and bosses gets cooler as we go!
The second one didn’t use the official audio. I’d recommend listening to the official song. Also, you looked up the four wind gods and was confused by Aeolus. In Greek mythology, there is one main wind god, and then gods for each direction of the wind.
