"Ruthlessness" FAN ANIMATIC - Full - Epic the Musical

I love how he just summons his own boss arena with that giant wall of waves

Love how at the beginning he was just throwing the ships around for fun, then when shits really got down, freaking whirlpool

I think something that is missed in this song is that Poseidon doesn’t hate Odysseus for hurting his son, he hates him for showing mercy, something that Poseidon just can’t do. He is trying to break Odysseus which is why he gave him that chance to apologize(to pass the blame to show that he is just a mortal, to be ruthless) Odysseus doesn’t, and thus just pisses the god off more.

I love how Poseidon is constantly taking shape/falling apart into the waves again, looks awesome!

This is so good! Love how Poseidon drags Odyssey underwater to drown him then forms an air bubble around him like no I'm not done with you yet

I love how Poseidon at 1:50 could have killed ody but he lets him live and in turn allowing ody to escape, ironically on the "you totally could have avoided all this had you just killed my son" line, amazing animatic deserves all the attention

In this version, it feels more casual in a way? Like Poseidon knows he has all the power rn, and he’s just toying with them. Which is a different type of scary, when you can that you’re enemy your isn’t even showing you a tenth of their power. Ughh, it’s so good, great job!! I love him forming and reforming!

The fact that I've seen several animatics to this song but my jaw STILL dropped at the horrific destruction of the fleet and that following hollow silence. I hope every artist that has made stuff for EPIC gets really good animation jobs that give y'all lots of money and recognition for your talents because WOW, the way you made this fandom come to life!

2:09 can we talk about how good this scene was? Despite now facing the wrath of THE Sea God, the crew still did their best to help their captain. Which makes it more heartbreaking when Poseidon killed entire fleet, expect Odysseus main ship with only 43 left.

The shot where he’s just leaning against the pole on the ship the absolute monstrous wave denoting the raw power of the seas is just… prefect chefs kiss bravo!

Man you really nailed the scale of the ocean with this, and the way Poseidon is kindof picking off ships to be a dick at first before he delivers the final blow in such a unique and terrifying way. Incredible work

I love the ways Poseidon controlled the water and attacked Odysseus with it! The wall of water goes well with the water sounds in the background. This was incredible!

This is probably the best Ruthlessness animatic I've seen so far- I really love how he progressively killed them, starting with a few ships, then giving Ody a chance to explain himself, but when he turns his trident and Odysseus thinks he's letting them live, he actually sinks the rest of the fleet. And Poseidon's design itself is incredible, especially when he blends in with the waves and sometimes is giant versus a normal human size, and that he's such a drama queen that he creates a whole arena just for that. I really hope Jay sees this, it's incredible!!!

This might be my new favorite Ruthlessness animatic. I loved the wall of water. Really nice perspective work on that one! And the expressions convey the emotions so well. Absolutely FANTASTIC job - I'm so happy to see you've finished it!

The way Odysseus looks at Posseidon when he turns his trident to the fleet!!! AAAHHHH, everything about this is great, you absolutelly nailed it!

1:32 I am IN LOVE with that "'cuz you're not even great" part! The way Poseidon's looming over harder and harder until he melts and soaks Odysseus. This actually might just be my new favourite Ruthlessness. And that shot of giant Poseidon with the even more massive wall of water surrounding the tiny ships... god you captured so much PERFECTLY of this.

I have seen a ton of Animatics for this song and every one has been a amazing interpretation of Poseidon and the carnage that is truly being conveyed here, But this is the closest to what I personally imagined what hearing it for the first time. The typhoons were truly an amazing detail and horrifying to imagine, i also love how not all of the ships are immediately wrapped up in a typhoon but rather a few get forcibly swept into it which I think would be almost scarier. Genuinely incredible work, please keep this up absolutely 10/10

Love the frame at 0:53 where we're behind Poseidon looking down on the ships. We get to see how tiny they are instead of just looking up and seeing how big Poseidon is. The perspective instantly reminded of sitting in a bathtub looking down on the toys floating around and how easy it is to manipulate them, which is pretty fitting I think.

I am speachless. the wall of waves, the dramatic sass, the water transformation. THE RIPPLE!!! I love this soo much. :hands-yellow-heart-red::hands-yellow-heart-red::hands-yellow-heart-red:

I love this depiction of Poseidon. His expressions and mannerisms give off the vibe of a petty teenager whose pride was wounded. It’s very dramatic and theatrical, I love it.
