Thunder Saga - Animatics Reaction (Gigi, Ximena, Gigi, Crashite, Neal Illustrator)
Added 2024-08-18 15:22:36 +0000 UTCWhen the fight choreography is so good you have to pull out your sword mid-reaction
Yes, this is two entire youtube videos worth of footage, and five separate files due to weather issues, but I was already in premiere fixing the audio so I said hey, why not just make it all one raw video and let the patrons marathon it without clicking a new post each time :D Let me know if you all like it this way, or if you still prefer them to be split separately! -M
Comments
in the Odyssey, Ody gets given a block of beeswax by Circe for the exact use of not hearing the Sirens. I wonder if Jorge would have that being the same, considering there's differences in how Ody deals with both avoiding the Sirens' songs and with how the siren's die

2025-01-08 02:45:08 +0000 UTCI started a YT playlist just to keep the s**tposts together and I just go back and watch a bunch every couple of weeks. There are some really good ones out there! 😂
Tessara Dudley
2024-10-27 01:30:10 +0000 UTCI doubt it, but if you watch them here in future, you can also go support them on YT—that’s what I do. I like to think that is a nice little contribution, in addition to the patron funds.
Tessara Dudley
2024-10-27 01:28:15 +0000 UTCMy favorite bit about that Thunder Bringer animatic is how little Zeus cares at the end. He put on this big show with clouds and lightning ladies and poses, and then at the end when he gets what he wants he just casually drops a lightning ball like he can’t be bothered to put more effort in it. Just emphasizes his otherness and overwhelming power.
Tessara Dudley
2024-09-29 03:57:17 +0000 UTCAbsolutely do another video with ruthlessness
Griffin Backes
2024-09-13 07:04:32 +0000 UTCI hate Eury after what he did but the fact he still calls Odysseus “my friend” just…ugh kills me.
Gray
2024-09-07 11:22:09 +0000 UTCNot even that, but half a second INTO the spin shot (right before they paused the camera had already started spinning around 😭)
Mal
2024-09-05 11:26:43 +0000 UTCA gentle reminder that Zeus is the youngest sibling out of the children of Kronos. Poseidon I believe is the second oldest male and Hades is the very oldest of them all .
Aisling Roisin
2024-09-01 18:10:52 +0000 UTCJust gonna drop this here bc idk if you know but Neal Illustrator confirmed that the Zeus made the cloud damsel look like Penelope to mock Odysseus even more (and because he's a dick)

Glori
2024-08-29 18:11:42 +0000 UTCDoes it benefit you guys for me to watch these videos again if I've seen them already on YouTube? Probably would anyway bc I am a new patreon and want to see extra content, but! Jw if I can help you guys more!
Glori
2024-08-29 18:09:06 +0000 UTCCan you do a reaction to all the existing Epic s*tposts that are around? Also, give some extra insight to the ones from you as well. Reaction to Neal Illustrator's Ruthlessness. They are really good.
Norma Rodriguez
2024-08-28 12:49:34 +0000 UTCCasper and Mortius: "We dont want to seem to milk epic content" Us: Please? ☺️

2024-08-28 09:47:10 +0000 UTCId love to see a reaction to AnniFlammas Thunder Bringer once its fully out, the part that was released so far was SO good

2024-08-28 09:42:14 +0000 UTCLive stream for the alternate animatics
roxychik 06
2024-08-27 18:30:17 +0000 UTCNot sure if/when you'll see this comment, but there's an animatic of Suffering and Different Beats by Duvetbox that's REALLY freaking good. Y'all should definitely add it to your reaction list.
Alexus Howard
2024-08-27 02:06:31 +0000 UTCMortius you so sly at the end there dropping a future song title 😂
Lauren Groen
2024-08-26 21:41:13 +0000 UTCI’m not sure if you guys have watched Ximena’s No longer you and Monster, you should if you haven’t! They’re great! I’d love to see you guys react to alternate animatics!
xivettex
2024-08-26 03:49:53 +0000 UTCAnything that lets me watch you guys watching anything Neal does gets my vote. She does fantastic animatics.
Rite
2024-08-25 04:04:10 +0000 UTCI am so glad the keeping the siren tails for food was mentioned. It was something that my head kept going back to each time I listened to different beast and mutiny.

2024-08-24 04:55:40 +0000 UTCZeus was the youngest brother of the 6 born of Kronos. Older brother energy from the youngest sibling

Phoenix Mackenzie
2024-08-24 01:30:32 +0000 UTCAlso, if you want some possible recs for alt animatics in the future, these are from my playlist that has my top fave animatic for each song to act as my own lil Epic movie: Scylla - Crashite (a specific aspect earned its place on the playlist) ; Ruthlessness - Neal Illustrator (JUST knocked Gigi's animatic off my playlist recently 😳) ; The Underworld - falperio05 ; No Longer You - Ximena Natzel ; Mutiny - Mejillustrates ; Thunder Bringer - Duvetbox (they have other good ones, too) I think youtube videos would be good for the alt animatics!

Alcaria Swain
2024-08-23 18:43:03 +0000 UTCGuys, I have a very extensive playlist of each saga. I'm absolutely willing to share them
Alcaria Swain
2024-08-23 18:03:23 +0000 UTCNot sure if anyone else mentioned it but in the Thunder Bringer Animatic the cloud Zeus manhandles is most likely meant to be shaped like Penelope, it has her bun and comparing the silhouette to the actual design we see later it looks really similar Which is also such a Zeus thing to do
FrankieLacrimae
2024-08-23 01:28:31 +0000 UTCDefinitely would love to see alternate animatics reactions for sure. I feel it maybe better as a patreon exclusive thing though, kind of like you did with keep your friends close. Like, Ximena's Suffering is also really good and blends into her Different Beast a lot more cohesively. Also, there are like 4 other Thunder bringer animatics that are so good out there like Duvetbox has a really good one and so does TheeArteest. Also, AnniFlamma is working on one, its just not done yet.
Ashley Prew
2024-08-22 17:18:25 +0000 UTCYeah, I had similar vibes with everything that's happened eury felt suicidal from how things sounded ect, it specifically reminded me of something I've heard from others who've been in that mindset (who've been suicidal but backed out last second which eury couldn't do)
Phoenix Mackenzie
2024-08-22 07:13:35 +0000 UTCEurylochus not attacking Odysseus is the interpretation I had when first listening to thunder bringer, (I missed the live stream, so I only had the audio to go by) because in mutiny, it sounded like Eury WANTED to die. He's tired, he's starving, he's betrayed his brother and king, he's lost hundreds of friends and he just wants to it stop.
Box Fox
2024-08-22 01:51:55 +0000 UTCYes, I’d love to see alternate animations, either as a patreon exclusive or however you’d prefer! I’d specially love to see you guys react to the Scylla animatic by Krieo (I like it almost as much as the Gigi one, sacrilege I know but ‘tis the truth). Other than that, it would be cool to see you react to the Mutiny animatic by Riley G (might be my favorite version bc of how they portray the emotion😭), and maybe Duvetbox ‘s Thunderbringer animatic
tsukihimeyfan
2024-08-21 04:09:11 +0000 UTCYES moar epic animatics PLZ!!!!!! <3 <3 there is no milking, there is only more obsession to be had by the fandom! xD
xairin
2024-08-20 22:22:28 +0000 UTCI would love an alternate animatic reaction, that would be amazing! I'd definitely recommend Neal illustrator's ruthlessness if either of you haven't seen it, it's become my favourite ruthlessness animatic, it's so good!
Luke
2024-08-20 21:56:15 +0000 UTCI would love to see you both react to alternate animatics, that would be amazing. And you both have to watch Coraline now together sometime in October. These were Epic animatics were amazing, everyone was amazing, but I loved the portrayal of Zeus the most. This was the first time I felt we got the true, Greek mythology, version of him. He is extremely icky and while the lyrics show it, seeing it just seemed more impactful.
Brittany Nichols
2024-08-20 09:12:22 +0000 UTCI would love to see you boys watching alternate animatics on youtube esp the different Thunder Saga animatics--Duvetbox's Thunder Bringer would be a great alt animatic on yalls list!! Cuz I agree it would be nice to see other artists they deserve some kudos too! I love how Casper is the music nerd while Mortius is the animation nerd it's like two worlds collide which means double appreciation for Epic. And I'm glad yall will be on top of the Wisdom Saga I can't imagine watching anyone else's reactions to the new saga unless it's you two! And I'm excited to see your future projects!
Zakksu
2024-08-20 06:34:49 +0000 UTCI would love to watch you two react to more Epic animatics! I would like to recommend an animatic specifically for Mutiny and the creator on youtube is Riley G. Their depictions for Helios’ cows are my favorite.
Jesse Dueitt
2024-08-20 03:35:13 +0000 UTCsecond, since nobody else is saying it, mortius, i caught that. water indeed.
Amy Spencer
2024-08-20 03:26:20 +0000 UTCfirst, yes to the alternate animatics for both patreon and youtube!!
Amy Spencer
2024-08-20 03:21:45 +0000 UTCI would love to watch you reacting alternate animatics

2024-08-19 20:33:08 +0000 UTCThank you!!
Open Arms
2024-08-19 17:02:56 +0000 UTCI just feel the need to comment that sometimes I put the videos on x0. 25 speed to get a better look at frames and hearing Mortius lose it in x0. 25 is the funniest thing ever it's amazing I love it

2024-08-19 16:00:37 +0000 UTCif you do check alternate animatics may i suggest BrittPowwPixel for Scylla
Saren Dracul
2024-08-19 14:56:31 +0000 UTCyes mortius, lyre and liar are pronounced the same :D
jayden_arsonew
2024-08-19 13:58:40 +0000 UTCSince we dont see the name in the patreon version I believe this video is what he's talking about at 47:20. From Bog Dog where he lists all instances of the danger motif https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGB-Yu2AoWs
Hannah
2024-08-19 13:05:24 +0000 UTC'Mortius un-headphones and leaves' is going on my OAR Bingo Board! PS, please please react to as many EPIC animatics as you want. We need to spread the word of not only OAR, but of these artists! I'm a longtime fan of Ximena, and new artists are coming onto the scene every day!
Kory Misun
2024-08-19 09:40:50 +0000 UTCI love the parallels between Ximena's "Different Beast" & Neal's "Thunder Bringer". Both start off with a big crew (the sirens/ Odysseus & his men). Both choosing a target that they should've avoided (the sirens trying to kill/eat Odysseus and his crew & the crew killing one or more of Helios's cows). Then have the leader of the group (Siren Penelope & Odysseus) watch their comrades die. The only difference being that one dying with their comrades while the other wound up being spared.
niteangel496
2024-08-19 06:10:07 +0000 UTCThen the brothers got swallowed then it got reversed with Zeus as oldest when they was puked up(from what I've heard)

2024-08-19 05:05:06 +0000 UTCjust 5 seconds in... "HARRYDIDYOUPUTYOUNAMEINTHEGOBLETOFFIRE???!!!!!"
Felix (Volran)
2024-08-19 04:00:23 +0000 UTCNot sure how viable it would be, but maybe on top of occasionally checking out alternative animatics for patreon, if you did like a "first upload of the month smaller creator animatics highlight" for YouTube I think that could go over well, whether it's for epic or whatever musical you're currently digging into on the channel. The bigger artists will find their audience naturally, but the smaller ones could potentially benefit from the YouTube upload attention
G_Rez
2024-08-19 03:05:30 +0000 UTCAh yes. Fish in the sea of monsters. When the god of the seas wants to kill you. That's how you fish up monsters that try and kill you

2024-08-19 02:28:07 +0000 UTCYeah, I can totally swim with my legs freshly cut off, not in excruciating pain at all... not that I can swim with my legs attached and uninjured
Existing Introvert
2024-08-19 01:46:38 +0000 UTCAlso I thought it was confirmed that "Penelope" singing to Odysseus at the end of Thunder Bringer WAS a fakeout by Zeus? I coulda sworn I saw it confirmed but I could be misremembering
Ashes2Ash
2024-08-19 01:16:37 +0000 UTCIn Gigi's animatic for Scylla, when Eurylochus was about to confess to opening the windbag, the men aren't holding thier faces of what's about to come! It looks more like they're plugging their noses because of all the corpses and other nasties that are visible in the background of that specific shot! However, after the confession, during the "Full Speed Ahead" lines, it DOES look like men are somewhat reacting to it now, and it is also showing off how some are still trying to block out the smell of corpses. Personally would love to see a reaction to Riley G.'s Mutiny animatic, as I'm a fan of that one in particular!
Ashes2Ash
2024-08-19 01:09:49 +0000 UTCThe beginning of GiGi's suffering definitely gives off magical girl anime transformation scene vibes.
Kori
2024-08-19 01:09:20 +0000 UTCWait wait wait. Poseidon is older than Zeus! Hades is the eldest brother. Poseidon is the middle brother. Zeus is the youngest.
Seiryunohoushi
2024-08-19 01:08:13 +0000 UTCBrittpowwpixels Scylla is one of the best I've ever seen. It is absolutely terrifying the way she portrays Scylla, far less human than most animators seem to create her looking.
max yoder
2024-08-18 23:54:42 +0000 UTCYES I would love for you to check out the alternate animatics, I would say keep it on the Patreon but if you do want to post some of the reactions that would be fine as well! I recommend checking out Duvetbox's animatics. Their thunder bringer is amazing and I honestly like it better than Neal Illustrator's, though theirs is amazing as well. Duvetbox's suffering and different beasts are amazing as well❤️ But anyway, this was an amazing reaction!! I was smiling and laughing watching through it❤️ I like how it was all in one video so if that makes it easier for you then I would continue to do it this way!!
Grace Files
2024-08-18 23:29:39 +0000 UTCYes please do the alternate animatics on both YouTube and patreon. Love your reaction and I love epic the musical.
Sarah Al-smadi
2024-08-18 22:47:05 +0000 UTCThis is the BEST reaction you've done. I've laughed so hard.
Becken Fuggle
2024-08-18 22:33:43 +0000 UTCPLEASE do the alternate animatics!!!! Neal's Ruthlessness is INSANE
Kayla Fredrickson
2024-08-18 22:22:33 +0000 UTCScylla doesn't eat other monsters. People keep suggesting this, but it wouldn't work.
Doriima
2024-08-18 22:09:32 +0000 UTCYES TO THE ALTERNATE ANIMATICS!!!! On either or.
Becken Fuggle
2024-08-18 22:02:18 +0000 UTCI literally spat out my food laughing hysterically when the gigi 360 happened right after Casper mentioned it. This is my favourite moment in this clip.
Becken Fuggle
2024-08-18 21:45:36 +0000 UTCThat is true. Circe created Scylla. Circe fell in love with a man-turned- Sea God (he ate Moly) and he rejected Circe for the Nymph Scylla. And out of heartbreak and jealously she tainted the watering-hole that Syclla would bathe in with Moly and she transformed into the monster we now know as Scylla. It is supposedly one of the reasons she wS exciled by the Olympian Gods to her island as everyone was afraid of her power. It seems as though it is definitely a regret she had though as her rash act caused so much chaos and death after.
Becken Fuggle
2024-08-18 21:42:39 +0000 UTCHaha "he said pee" bahahaha
Becken Fuggle
2024-08-18 21:24:19 +0000 UTCI love the side part Casper
Becken Fuggle
2024-08-18 21:23:58 +0000 UTCHahaha I love the rawness of the unedited stuff here. You are both so hilariously funny and I'm all here for it.
Becken Fuggle
2024-08-18 21:21:10 +0000 UTCYeah let’s just ignore him sacrificing 6 man they have no reason to be mad at him 🤓🤡. Let’s also ignore it’s odys dumb shit that cause everyone else to die, I’m sure it’s nothing he did wrong 🤡

2024-08-18 19:39:02 +0000 UTCNeal just dropped Ruthlessness yesterday I believe and I want y’all to react to it so badly. His Poseidon is GORGEOUS. And terrifying.
Ashley
2024-08-18 19:04:19 +0000 UTCNeil Illustrator confirmed that Cloud Damsel in the beginning is designed to look like Glowy Penelope of the later part of the animatic D: which just makes it so much worse/better/more awful.

ChaseThornMusic
2024-08-18 17:48:29 +0000 UTCI think doing the alts as a livestream would be awesome, but I could totally see an argument for having it be a Patreon exclusive. Either way, I think a more unedited style would be cool for some alt animatics!!
Ace Trainer Aster
2024-08-18 17:48:19 +0000 UTCAbsolutely love these reactions, the person who did that thunder bringer animatic just released a ruthlessness one which y'all should check out at some point
Autumn
2024-08-18 17:45:48 +0000 UTCXimena Natzel did an amazing scylla animatic that you should watch if you do the alternate animatics!

2024-08-18 17:09:21 +0000 UTCThe Scylla reveal had me react for the first time the exact same way as Mortius and Casper!!
Elias Johnsen
2024-08-18 17:07:10 +0000 UTCA YouTube video with a bunch of alternate animatic reactions would be lovely
Nika
2024-08-18 17:02:27 +0000 UTCYes to the alternate animatics, I feel like livestream would be the best way ro make it not clog up the upload schedule though. Other than that definitely do Neil Illustrators version of Ruthlessness because of how incredible it is! (Also they made poseidon hot- I mean angry)
Basilily
2024-08-18 16:51:54 +0000 UTCYessss do a bunch of alternate animatics!

2024-08-18 16:20:27 +0000 UTCAlso couldn’t they have just saved 6 sirens and gave them torches then mutiny wouldn’t happen and Odysseus could have told eurillicus to like just skip that sun god island in the first place

2024-08-18 16:14:12 +0000 UTCI'm so readyyyy
Kayla Fredrickson
2024-08-18 16:13:11 +0000 UTCJust to give something to think about it you haven't already. But it isn't just Odysseus silently accepting Eurylochus betrayal months before. If you listen and pay attention to Scylla's lyrics, yes she's describing consequences to Eury's actions, but the entire song is a telepathic message to Odysseus directly. Meaning the revelaed "plot twist" is something Eury did to Odysseus, which he is finding out, immediately before he does the exact same thing to his entire crew. So it's a mix of acceptance that it happened and "I can't be one to talk because I'm about to do the same thing now" Also with Odysseus breaking out of the ropes, it makes sense that he only broke out with after Eury killed one of the cows. Odysseus KNOWS that Zeus is going to be the one to appear to dish out punishment. When he's tied up after waking from being unconscious following a death match with his brother in arms with a mortal wound. He is exhausted and in a lot of pain with only bandages holding him together. When Eurylochus kills the cow and he knows who will be showing up, he probably gets a huge burst of adrenaline knowing that all of them are about to die if they don't run immediately.
Ryan Torres
2024-08-18 16:12:28 +0000 UTCMy favourite Different Beast animatic is by Duvetbox! I think they captured Odysseus’ ruthlessness perfectly! They’re quickly becoming one of my favourite animatic creators in the fandom.
