Get in the Water [ EPIC: The Musical | Animatic ] 

Harry Potter references everywhere, I love it 😆

"Odysseus! DID YOU EAT THE SACRED SUN COWS?!"

"No," Odysseus replied composedly.

Lol

Calmly

Well as gods go Poseidon is very deeply connected to his domain hence why his mood is as changeable as the sea, so him manifesting from the sea itself to form a physical body would make sense

I love that too! Reminds me of the ocean in "Moana", and Poseidon in the 1997 miniseries: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Up0eQv-0dn0.htmlsi=jb9xRZWxN3m6uSgU&t=59

Welcome to the reason why I think this musical would be amazing as an animated film

I saw on that had him as a horse and water

@@oshawottblue5648anniflamma? her one is good

Omg i love all of the refrences in the comments lol

no cuz fr😭

But for real he is😂

What is this reference? ​@@AceLeGoose

​@@youwhat.Ome which didn't age quite so well. It's a reference to a joke a youtuber named Wilbur soot said. He then turned at to be abusive.

I know right! Seriously, the way they draw Poseidon is just so amazing.

It is how you would act when a plan comes together, when your and your enemies path coincide.

LITERALLYYYY

AND HIS “NO” TOO UGH THE EMOTION

@@tinagoli5375 pain

Sooo goood 🥰

He's threatening to equal the odds

Honestly my favorite comment here 😊 I didnt notice the water around his ankles at first until I saw this and damn that just makes Poseidon somehow even more terrifying

Yeah, like- holy shit, that’s CRUEL. He’s basically saying to Odysseus: “I could kill you now, and nothing you could do would be able to save you, but I want you to LET ME.”

ME TOOOOO

It really does spell out why Poseidon is so hellbent on killing Odysseus despite the fact he doesn't really seem to actually care that much about Polyphemus, it's more about his reputation than his son.

​@@Sergei_Ivanovich_MosinA big reason why Poseidon would have preferred Odysseus to have killed Polyphemus. If he died, then he would be gone. Poseidon has loads of children. But with him merely blinded, well, now he's telling people what Odessues did. He's praying to Poseidon for revenge. If Poseidon refuses his call, then he's abandoning his child, and saying anyone can walk right over him. If his son merely died then there would be no one to spread the word of who bested him.

"look how you massacred ma boi" - Poseidon

"You'll be sleepin' with them fishes now Odysseus..." - Poseidon, probably

Even scarier that in Greek mythology I remember reading that if you died in the sea your soul would never move on to hades. So Posiden is basically not only after his life but to prevent him from moving on after death.

Holy- but also this is how I imagine that would go Hades: Poseidon, that’s I’m soul Poseidon: no he died on my turf he’s mine now fair and square

@@kyliehodges9184 😆

​@kyliehodges9184 Surprisingly Poseidon was a god of the underworld once

@@Spiritwolf3157 I can see that, because the gods were switched around at some points depending on what the people at the time thought was important Overlysarcasticproductions explains it better

Not even sure if there's anger in Poseidon here. He's just like, "This is what's going to happen... or else this other terrible, not impressive for me thing is going to happen. Either way, I win."

Good 😊 job done bro 😂

At the beginning the water recedes and it almost feels like it was meant to evoke the idea of water receding for a tsunami/tidal wave.

literally this!!! You said it so well and its so true. These aren't powerful beings, or even wizards or magical creatures, they are the forces of nature themselves!! Posoidon is the ocean, endless and cold and dark. And the way he stands over odysseus here absolutely reflects that

"... test the fit of your coffin" is such a powerful line.

I KNOW it's bone chilling

THIS!

Only way to cure this? Go look at GOW III Kratos vs. Poseidon. It becomes a LOT more satisfying.

Ikr! Like Posideon has a sort of humanoid shape, but he’s also very much Not with whole fluidity and shifting with the water

Yup. Dolphins are assholes like that.

I literally gasped when he said he'd take his son and gouge out his eyes and this visual depiction just adds to that feeling of sinking dread within Odysseus, and the chilling wrath of Posideon, all at once.

ALSO I’M SO GLAD THAT POSEIDON IS SHOWN AS THREATENING AND EVEN MONSTROUS !! (like he’s described as being the most tempered of the gods, it makes more sense)

He looks like a monster trying his hardest to keep the image of a human that distorts further and further with time, until it becomes obvious all you are seeing is a false puppet with things that barely resemble a body. Overall it's great at showing how inhuman he is

The issue with his son is he actually left him alive funny enough, had Odysseus killed the Cyclops he wouldn't have been hunted since the Cyclops couldnt call in his father to curse Odysseus, the thing that sealed his fate was stupidly saying his real name out loud though, had he left with the whole "nobody" thing in tact he would have been safe too

Like he hasn't done worse

Well I might be rusty with my mythology but posidens trident was used to summon water in the famous Athens Pateron god myth so it just another threat about drowning. Also earthquakes

HE KILLED PERCY JACKSON?????

​@@DandelionsintheskyPercy Jackson isn't real, he never existed in Greek mythology

Ooo I've never watched Sinbad! Probably should tho

@@WolfyTheWitch Oh my gosh yes. Eris alone is worth it. Her animators all deserved to get Oscars, and the comparison between your Poseidon and her is fantastic.

Came to the comments looking for this!! Especially the moment where he's large and looking down, then morphs and ends up behind Odysseus. Serious flashbacks but it works so well here! 😍

​@@WolfyTheWitchI watched it as a kid and Eris is by far the star of the show. It's all fantastic, but Eris in particular is the kind of ethereal, otherworldly, *eldritch* entity who is bound only by her own word. Seriously, there are few scenes as memorable as the ones with Eris.

​@@WolfyTheWitch If you watch it for nothing else, the way Eris moves is some of the most fun and cool animation I've seen. I'd at least look up clips of her if nothing else

Yea, but the reason everyone *knew* not to fuck with the gods is that they *would* do shit like this if you stepped to them.

Eh, most of the time in the myths, Poseidon come across as fairly responsible dude. Kinda the peacemaker between the different gods, one of the few that can get Zeus to behave. He is fairly good at protecting his lovers/rymes with grapes victims, from shenanigans and reward them. He is willing to do a lot if you just ask him. Of course when upset he becomes as cruel as the ocean can be, but it's come across as justified. His beef with Odysseus is litterly over him mutilating his child, it's hard to find a more justified reason to be upset with a guy. But Poseidon cruelty has limits, Odysseus is still only one of very few greek heroes that get's a happy ending. Similarly when Athene selected Athena over him as their patron god, he should have easily sunk the entire city into the sea, like what he did was Atlantis, with Athena being unable to do anything to stop the much more powerful Poseidon, but he didn't do it. He is more active and mythological much older then Hades so yes, he come across as more evil then Hades, who was given a bad hand by synchronisation with Christianity. But Hades in the myth possible also portrayed as being nicer then he actually was worshipped as. Hades was a figure the greek where so scared off they didn't even reference to him by name. But called him stuff like the ever welcoming father, the man that recieve many guest, etc. so there is a possibility that they avoided writing his myth in a way that might displease hades. Like how the persephone myth goes out of it way to not blame Hades for it.

​@@lordcthulhu8472agreed. Poseidon is basically the sea. Nurturing, but also capable of unimaginable destruction. 😊

@@lordcthulhu8472 ehh.. if u ignore the rape that he does and other unjustifiable stuff, ye maybe. poor medusa

​@@mago_semmana589Honestly he has worse reputation then he deserves. But i wasen't ignoring the rhymes with grapes stuff. Most Greek gods got quite the list of victims. And of the gods you should be raped by, then Posidon is one of the better options. Because after the act, he is willing to do nearly anything you ask him. And as you can see here, he is rather overprotective father. So any kids from your union will be well protected and well off. Compared to other gods *cough* Apollo *cough* Zeus * cough* Aphrodite, Poseidon is an outright gentleman. It dosen't mean it right of course, but in the contest of the mythology he is in, he is one of the nicer gods. As for Medusa it depends a bit on what myth you go with, the earliest source of her being raped is a Roman source. Written by Ovid, who had some serious issues with authorities, and is believed to have rewriting myths as a form of critic of the roman emperors. Greek myth either has her consent or doesn't state it at all, or she had nothing to do with Posidion at all. Funny enough the oldest myth we have of Posidion and Medusa relationship, has Medusa already being a monster when they sleep together.

@@lordcthulhu8472 looking that way u right, pretty much all gods are fucked up. theres only nicer ones.

So. Many. Times!

Counter counter point: "he's a cyclops, he only had one eye"

⁠@@catalinavaldez6340counter counter counter point: your spear had one tip my trident has 3 I can take both of them out at once like you took his out at once:)

This was written by Jorge Rivera-Herrans, it's from a musical called Epic. :)

He blinded his son not Percy Jackson but a cyclops

@@wolfsbanealphas617 This is actually still about Odysseus blinding his son after he killed a bunch of his comrades? How long has it been? Like, 20 years? Goes to show how stupidly revealing your name to the enemy after sparing them will haunt you for life, huh.
