Giant’s Body Found And Becomes Tourist Attraction 

Really disturbing how heavily disrespected the giant was. Imagine being dead and people just come and step, run, and play all over you. Man..

The actual smell of the scene would have discouraged 90% of this movie's plot.

I think this is an analogy of how we treat death. A lot of the comments are focusing on the smell, or on how are the people not freaking out. The giant could be any one of us, and this is probably how strangers would treat your own dead body.

The Drowned Giant was originally a short story by JG Ballard, the same person who wrote "High Rise" (made into a 2015 film with Tom Hiddleston), and "The Drowned World". It is about human reaction to death and isn't really supposed to reflect the real world at all because it's about human psychology and our reaction to death.

I swear mystery recapped always got the most interesting movies to narrate

"No son, giant Tom Holland doesn't exist" Goes to beach

Terrific video and narration. There's so much to learn from the story.

This is absolutely devastating and heartbreaking. This giant's body was completely disrespected all the way. People climbing and jumping on the body, the graffiti and slurs drawn on him, his body being completely dismembered and amputated and then his bones and body parts displayed everywhere around the town. It's honestly really disgusting and shameful. If I was the main guy I would've stepped in and tried to save the body. No way in hell will I let a creature's body be disrespected like that. We wouldn't let beached whales be treated that way. I wouldn't let the same thing for a mythological creature. Also it took me minutes into the video to realize that this is entirely animation. Obviously I knew the Giant is animated but the other humans looked so life like that it fooled me. The animations is really good.

The most unrealistic thing about this was no one complaining about the smell due to the body decomposition. Imagine, if the smell of a real size body after 3 days of death is awful what about a giant's body?! That got me wondering, there's no way people would be there like nothing, not with the smell...there's no way.

The most unrealistic thing about this is the government would have covered it up before anyone could see it

This is so disgustingly amazing and creative I can’t even but alas great job explaining

i love ur videos! i watch them every day ❤️

The fact that its animated makes it more interesting

“Gulliver’s travels but Gulliver’s boat didn’t make it”

Deep, dark and definitely interesting. You have the best voice for narrations

This episode was amazing. I like your voice

If this happened in real life, there is no way that there would be just one scientist that is assigned to this and to just 'keep tabs on it'. The entire beach would be sectioned off and quarantined and there would be an entire camp of scientists and technicians working on studying the giant and collecting tissue samples 24/7. Eventually the body would get chopped up and the parts taken away to a more established facility where they'd likely preserve them for further study.

I think the giant is an actual whale that the main character anthropomorphizes due to his empathy to him.

It's a clear metaphor for human history and the underlying message is that even going through a period of disrespect, in the end it is remembered and its better that way than to just forget it

He felt that way bc he was the only person acting like a real human being there..I felt the same way he's feeling, Steven isn't the giant he's just being a real human being

Fact that no one is scared that there can be more giant's like him , who can engulf 100 or more human's at a time made me laugh 😂

I love that he analyzes and elaborately explains the actual meaning behind the story

Most impressive part of this video was how you made an 8 minute recap of a 13 minute episode 👏👏👏

The

I didn’t even realize it was animated 5 minutes in lol 👁👄👁

It literally took me the first two minutes to realize that this was animated. Edit: How are people still commenting on this Edit Edit: It really took me about 15 seconds.

‘People get enough playing with the giant’ had me weezing

Man, I didn't even know there was a season 2! I know what I'll be watching today!

I didn't even realise it was animated till like 10 seconds in

"Giant man corpse" Everyone:free Luna park

These are one of your best videos in the world

Is nobody gonna talk about the incredible detail that was put into this for an animation...

The fact that they made it a tourist attraction is just sad and took his body parts

i'm still wondering how far the smell of the decaying corpse goes into the town. i mean- it's a huge corpse. how can they be vandalizing and playing on it after the first day it turned up?

This is one of my favourite videos EVER

cool,visual is amazing

But seriously if you saw this giant wouldn’t your first thought be 1: where the hell did he come from and later 2: shit! If this is a dead one are there any more giants alive?

I'm just laughing how stupid those people are, they decided to stand up at the top of a giant corpse, even if it was human, the anatomy would be like one of a whale, and it could had exploded at any moment due to the methane and gases created inside of him

I really love ❤️ the your voice and the way you speaks ❤️🙏🏾💯 ur English is so cool bro 😎

Most tragic n greatest movie explanation I have heard in ur channel... Luv u bro 🙏

Those people just don't care that they are playing on a big corpse.

This is an analysis of the sad reality of how we get remembered after we are gone. The memories regarding us gets altered, twisted, misinterpreted and sometimes completely changed. Unlike other mundane memories those do not simply get buried but stay remembered for long times. But unfortunately a time comes when those caricatures of ourselves are the only evidence left of the fact that we once were.

anyone else just randomly stumble upon a mystery recapped video and now its a regular thing to watch😀

It's heartbreaking that people are stepping up giants and taking pictures, giant's eyes speak a lot of things, and his sparkling eyes were full of msg but there were only jerks and dumb were zoning out.

The animation of this movie looks soo good

I wonder if my crewmates's bodies will become tourist attractions as well

Great short story

I was waiting and expecting that giant to wake up and everyone starts panicking and running for their lives lol.

So they just allow people to play around a mysterious creature ever found.

I Watch Mystery Recapped A Lot! Its Actually Interesting!

voice so calming almost fell asleep to it

So disrespectful. Imagine dying then people playing on your body

Is no one gonna talk about the fact that this movie is animated, like I get this level of quality is casual now but still it's amazing to see how realistic animations have gotten.

I also agree with you on the moral too, sometimes I feel the same

Love Death and Robots is an amazing good time, I binged watched all episodes in 2 days, Some of them are masterpieces, the one with the Lady carrying her dead friend on planet IO next to Jupiter was my favorite one, gave me chills, was beautiful and epic! The Rats one was hilarious and another masterpiece

The giant is a whale and the main character feels empathy and personifies him that's why his genitals were labeled as a whale's.

Plot twist: This is actually the origin story of Attack on Titan. Edit: I never thought I would get this much likes and NO at same time. 😂 I’m sorry I couldn’t help it. I was actually looking for someone who commented an AOT reference but I wasn’t able to find one so I just did. Thanks for the likes and sorry for the cringe 😂.

Wonders shall never cease

The graphics is so realistic

I like to imagine the main character is imagining a beached whale as his dead son. His son might have been a celebrity who succumbed to drug addiction which is symbolized by him decomposing, this makes his father feel less of a connection to his son. The graffiti represents how people treated him as a commodity, it's like social media hate-posts. His legacy is represented after he fully decomposes and his bones are collected by the towns people, he's still treated as a commodity, he's just no longer the center of attention. Like the video mentioned; he's now a myth/legend.

I loved the fact that he analysed the metaphor of the entire episode. This also made me deep: our reactions to the ‘death of the giant’ could say a bit about our views on humanity, suffering and how we empathise too! I literally was thinking, ‘it’s like a dead whale - don’t sit on it, help it!!’ I sympathised with the giant so much, without even knowing who or _what_ exactly it was… it’s interesting how we can interpret it all so differently

Just come across this part of the RU-vid. I must say, impressive CGI!

I love that story

Literally a huge dead body: The tourists: its free real estate Other tourists: I wanna touch it Other other tourists: mom, can I jump on it?

this is like the the gullivers travels but the humans are the lilliputians and the giant is the gulliver. i am not talkin about the story line. i am talking about the layout of the movie.

Reminds me of the short story "The Handsomest Drowned Man In the World" where the body of a foreign stranger washes up on the shore in a Spanish village. The villagers never know who he was or where he came from and are fascinated by him, in death he becomes a sort of legend.

Super animation skill behind this movie

It saddens me how instead of being respectful of someone that passed away people graffiti, amputate, and play on it. That's just sick and demonic honestly. Other then that I dont think something as huge as this in real life would have been a trend that just faded away so quickly. There would be so many things people would be trying to discover and things we would be realizing. It would probably start a panic attack as well for many people as well. I remember hearing of how someone hacked into a radio section and pretended there would be an alien invasion, you had many people killing themselves and their family members. Something like this would invoke panic in many crazy people too. It wouldnt have been this calm and peaceful. Only explanation would be that they werent in the u.s.😂

This show is so fun, literally nothing is the same every episode is different.

This hits hard

This is amazing, kind of like a Modern day fairy tale

"We humans, like the giant. Will someday fade away and remain only the memories of the people we met. But eventually, those memories would fade as well." That was deep.

It's all fun and games until this becomes another Attack on titan🙂

Superbe vidéo le film et a voir sur quel cites merci 🙏

Subbed brobrobro! Brobrobro is the new bro btw

This movie just turned dark really fast. The feeling of us being a memory to others we've met along the way will fade slowly as time passes by. In the end. All of us will be forgotten. It's just depressing and terrifying at the same time.

This takes Gulliver's Travels to a whole new level.

What's even more disturbing? I didn't realize this was computer generated, until I noticed Steven didn't seem quite right. I knew the giant was, but the rest of the people, at least at first glance, looked real.

"Some of them were named Steven" Me: Steve Harington?

I think that, it's crazy how calm everyone is in this movie

"The episode has a deep and metaphor communing" Mystery recapped got the most interesting movies

personally, this speaks to us on a deeper level, like Adam mentioned one day we will pass away, perhaps if we made some good connections in some people's memories and in their stories our existence may live on. The pics, the media that we chose, the songs that we liked, the things that we did in our own past times, that also is experienced by the most closest to us, some friends, parents and maybe siblings and if possible some relatives, maybe on the most deepest levels, only 10 people know us throughout our lives. whether it's our parents, spouse, children and friends and no one else beyond. with our passing, remains our memories and the stories of ours, and that too will wither away, with time as our own children, their children and subsequently our traces vanish off of the earth in the long run, maybe somehow a pic of ours smiling chilling with the boys at the beach is found at the beach 100 years later buried but now found. and the one that finds it will wonder about that pic, the people in the pic that lived, before it becomes some part of some museum that preserves it for the next generation to visit and look at the lives lived by. So, what is the point of living such a life where u r only living. perhaps the motive of life is to still doing all these things, with and to all these people, and perhaps to do it so well, that it reaches most people, that it helps most of them, and maybe lives on, to create and expedite something, a legacy that lives and improves for the people. that is itself a very symbol of what we have been, us as humans. Our humanity.

I love this series and oak studio

I don’t know about them but I wouldn’t play on a dead man’s decomposing corpse, nor sit in his ear of all places That just weird and nasty 😂

This sounds like what humans would actually do if this was real.

So calm

"The Drowned Giant " is a short story by sci-fi great, JG Ballard.

This is just like when you drop a small food on the ground, it's for the ants attractions as well.

The most unrealistic thing is how they look real even if it’s animated

As every person in this episode is CGI, it gives me hope for future shows and films to use this to quite an effective degree. I'd like to see a Warhammer 40K series with this level of quality animation rather than live-action.

I wouldn't doubt if there were signs stating do not climb or get so close to dead giant for your safety and everyone was like "OH COOL A GIANT JUNGLE GYM" LOL

Summarise: Steven has a crush on a giant naked man

The point of the story is we are all dead people. Everyone of us will die at some time or other. It is what we leave behind that matters. Also myths are stronger than reality. When memory fades away they are replaced by myths.

Mystery Recap: "hi" me: hi ok bye

the fact that this is animated suprises me

“For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing; they have no further reward, and even their name is forgotten.” Ecclesiastes 9:5 NIV

the cool thing is its actually a whale, the guy just imagined it as a big human and we are following the same narrative

wow. I wanted to see the mystery behind what happened to the giant revealed. I wish the movie wasn't just a metaphor

No shot, this entire time I've watched your videos, I always thought your commentary was one of those bot's that you give a script to read off of. Nice to see a face behind the voice.

Welp, for me, the giant is actually you. The people is the society making fun of you and tearing you apart. You(the giant) drowned in sadness or pain or whatever stresses you that is caused by the society, for example, body shaming. Since you already drowned and died inside, the society starts making fun of you and tearing you into pieces. They don't care and still continue to do it. The stages of decaying is actually the stages of you changing into someone you don't want to be, mentally losing the real you. The protagonists in this episode is actually still you, watching as the people slowly kill you more. You're the only one who feel empathy upon yourself. The bones are the pieces you can never connect. That's the way I understand this, and I also accept the opinion of others.
