Well yea he is the trickster God of the Greeks. Divine trickster. Every God group has one. Unfortunately for them this one is also the messenger God too so he can change the message for his fun and amusement.
The funny thing is the Hermes gave to Odysseus with the Holy Moly the power to summon a Stand to fight Circe's Chimera , so basically he just wanted to watch a Pokemon battle 😅
I like how the animation community has all agreed Hermes is a twink even though he is arguably not just the fastest god but by literal mythology one of the strongest in bare strength.
Odysseus: "for the love of Zeus, why do you always have to be so fruity?? With your own great grandson too??? Hermes: "baby, why can't you have some fun? Have you seen the pantheon? We are all related and still fuck one another! This is nothing special. Now come here, let's go to the sky once more" Ody: "waiT NO NO ANYTHING BUT THAT"
honestly i’m here for the flirting of Hermes, and honestly i believe it’s bc he doesn’t care and thats just him or Hermes actually forgot that was his great grandchild
Hermes giving his great grandson a kiss on the cheek for encouragement is oddly sweet to me but also him throwing his great grandson around in the air is hilarious 😂
Jesus, this is confusing! Who’s not married to a relative!? Also, what’s with all the gods being related to each other in the first god darn place!? God, I need to catch up on my Greek mythology…
@@rr1verBro, this is Greek mythology. Legit most relationships in Greek mythology have incest involved in it, its just the normal for Greek mythology so someone shipping people in Greek mythology who are related is not bad, dude.
I love how Hermes is simultaneously smaller than Odyssey and Taller at the same time, he flows like the ✨wind✨ I also like how everyone is just agreeing and coming to terms that the Greek god family tree is just a circle
I think this is my epic favorite song it’s just so flowy and The beat is so quirky and fun!! Hermes is just that guy yk? Yk I like how everyone just agrees on the design aswell no eyes for the god of thieves and messages
Honestly I ADORE Hermes' laugh. It's so.... creepy and trickster-y, but also light/airy in a way??? It's just so absolutely perfect. Also this animatic is beautiful!!
This is just Hermes flirting with his great grandson, convincing him to do drugs and then forgetting that he's mortal and will die if he drops him while throwing him so has to quickly catch him. And i love it 😀✨
"Don't thank me, friend, you very well may die... " I really expected that lyric to finish with "I'll see you at the end," completing the rhyme but also referencing Hermes nature as a guide to the dead.
I just enjoy that whenever people either hide the eyes of the gods or just make them have no pupils. It just fits for me given how it disconnects them from humans.
I am so unbelivably HERE for flirty, slightly-kind-of-Very Eldritch Hermes!! I love him so much, he feels just bouncy and mischievous while also being very obviously dangerous on a whim. Edit: showed this to a friend and they just now responded with "they took my F**KING EYES" pff, I love how that's a defining charicteristic of Hermes designs in the fandom but the way you lean onto pure shadow instead of shades or hair or helmet gives him even more mild creepy factor, perfect for the God of thieves as well as messenger, ferrier of souls, protector of travelers, etc etc etc
Odysseus first looks like he is so done, like saying, "not the time, Hermes...." And then looks Happy because Hermes actually helps, that's wholesome.😊😄
Im not allowed to post it but I’m making an animatic of this and I’m gonna make a scene where eurylochus is watching odysseus and Hermes and being confused as heck 🤭
can't wait to see the animatic where eurylochus is with odysseus while this happens. he's actually with odysseus in this song (takes place in the same scene as Puppeteer)
@@vismaykedilaya1318yeah I just imagine eurylochus being like *sees Hermes tormenting odysseus* “uhh wtf ima go see what’s going on” *comes to see that the moly has kicked into Odysseus and is now attacking Hermes*
I love the way Oddyseus's hair rises slowly to signify he is falling, and i ADORE the way Hermes dissapears at the end. Its so funny. he is just a little guy in the distance and then he vanishes. like that meme with the guy doing the peace sing.
1:56 That is the perfect visualisation of Odysseus' little "ah..." after Hermes says how he calls the stuff he just gave him to eat. He looks like a confused child listening to a lecture about physics who is just going along with it because there are sweets. I love it, thank you!
Fun fact! The high notes at the end are actually Odysseus and not Hermes ! Jorge confirmed that’s when he actually eats the moly and “levels up” so to speak
@@Lemonsherbertzzzimagine he’s finally home with Penelope and Telemachus during Christmas and all his friends and family are there (including Athena lol) and he just keeps getting awkward around Hermes because of this 😭
Also I hope you know these comments led me to do about 5 minutes of research into the history of mistletoe and greek mythology and apparently mistletoe actually was associated with and used for the holiday Kronia as well! Not the same time of year, but definitely a major holiday much like Christmas :)
2:00 I like how this one scene displays the undertones of horror I believe all gods have. Hermes is better at hiding it under LOTS of flirting and confidence, but he's also like Dionysus - acting cool, but can make you go mad in an instant if he wanted. The insane amount of power that they have and can use to manipulate you is scary. Awesome animatic!
The flirting! The blush! The colors! The drawings! The kiss at the end which could be problematic! It's all ✨Chefs kiss✨!! Ne comfort video! The designs are so cute! Odysseyus' hair and face when he falls! It leaves me speechless! This is awesome!!
"Grand-Grandpa, could you be straight for one Minute?!" "Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, no." Edit: Honey, open the Champagner, we hit 1000 Likes!
God, this is incredible. I'm so happy that Hermes flirting with Odysseus is such a universal constant in every animatic, really captures Troy's charisma!
What I like about Hermes character is even though he’s a trickster and the god of thieves he seems to be very genuine compared to most Gods when he’s helping people like he just walks by and is like hey need a hand?
I like how he's just like in cloud 9 and just thanking Hermes for drugging him. Like he's saying I was about to lose my shit. 2:40 Hermes is just being the absolute menace he is. Cause I don't worry about it, though you still might die, though. And instantly, his high is over. He says Wait what? Then Hermes just kissed Him in the cheek. And says? Bbbbbbbyyyyyyeeeee Like the troll he is. I can tell he just like fucking with people.😂😂😂
The entire vibe I get from this is that one scene in the Lorax when the mom was dancing demonstrating the oakamatic and her son was like “mom-mom please STOP” 😭
you managed to capture exactly how i pictured this song (except for the dramatic inappropriate grind against odysseus when he sings "that'll grind you to the bones" LMAO) god i love hermes. the hermes saga is great
Odysseus: Hermes please you’re my great grandfather Hermes: why does that mean you can’t dance??? Poor Odysseus getting harassed by all these gods/goddesses. But hey, at least this one is helping him for free! This was so fast!!! I am super impressed by the whole thing, and how smoothly everything flows! As mind blowing as the super powers Odysseus just had shoved down his throat honestly Thank you for making this and the others you’ve done so far!
I LOVE how much personality you can see in the characters! And especially Hermes! The playfulness he's animated with just SCREAMS "trickster" even while he provides aid to Odysseus. :'D
This is so FUN! I love how creative it is, the way you show visually the things is Hermes is saying, becoming bigger, smaller, changing the environment, the colors, transforming into things, manhandling Odysseus like he's a ragdoll, even fucking flirting because of course he is. It's so entertaining to watch, Hermes is the perfect balance of playful and a little mischievous, but at the end he is genuinely trying to help, so cute ❤ If Odysseus dies that's on him not Hermes xD I also love how the Epic fandom agrees Hermes must have his eyes covered, it really add this level of mystery, making Ody wonder if he can really trust his intentions. Amazing work as always!
2:19 so...apparently here Ody's "Oh woah" in this song was not him being amazed but more like he was screaming for his life while Hermes grabbed and forced him to dance with him and NOT TOUCHING THE GROUND 😭😭
This is so funny, I love how whimsical so many of the frames are, and don’t even get me started on the gorgeous colours used! ❤ Poor Ody just being done with Hermes and Hermes just having the time of his life 😂
The amount of zest Hermes has me jszjiwhzms 😭😭😭 HOLY MOLY (LMAO) this whole animatic was a treat to watch! I love how whimsical it is! But at the same time, Hermes, Hermes... treat Ody a little more gently, will you 😭😭 he's just a squishy mortal my guy
I love how in every animatic of this song at the start Hermes sits on a branch above Odysseus. It's such a simple detail, but it shows how well this song conveys the mood and the characterisation. "Just a friend~!" somehow SOUNDS like some is mischievously hiding up in the trees. How does a song even do that??? Lol
I like how Hermes was basically telling Odysseus to fight Circe by sleeping with her but Odysseus was like nah man and he was like “laaammmmeee here’s some drugs”
I like how Hermes keeps his shoulders perfectly squared the entire time, even while carrying the entire weight of Odysseus, showing how he doesn’t feel exhaustion and further extenuating his inhumanity.
Every Greek god is some flavour of queer. Either they have had same-gender romances, or have transformed into the opposite gender, or are completely uninterested in sex altogether
