have Odysseus become an actual monster. It’s another way Greek Monsters are made. Humans lose their humanity and slowly become actual monsters.
Their teeth might sharp more and more, everyday.
Maybe how the speak has this enchanting (encompassingly off) tone to it, one day.
Their eyes are eerily blank, and their sclera & iris are getting closer in color every day…
They start walking on what seem like their tip toes, but they don’t seem to notice;
The way they walk gets more predatory; Leaning forward, shoulders first and with a slight glare that isn’t in their eyes but definitely in their body.
Imagine; that’s how (for a random example) Sirens (the birds) spawned off from a woman being hurt one to many times, trapped somewhere, neglected or unwanted, so she flew away free with an enchanting voice. For there, other sirens where born ‘naturally’, from others like her (rare), in nature as a monster (most common) or spawned of from them.
For the sake of, I guess it doesn’t always happen, or more likely those who lose themselves like this usually don’t live long enough for a full transformation.
I guess not transforming halfway and finding one’s humanity again could be plausible, but would entirely be verrrrrry hard work. I think one work around* would be centering your moral and humanity on others: This would be (if he does get out of it) how Ody gets out of a full permanent transformation, Penelope (& Diomedes, in my hc) are his moral compass & heart. *this would require a lot of devotion, I suppose. So perfect for PenOdy & Diody, really
Ody gets snake fangs, sharper nails/claws & wolfish ears at minimum, ig. By the time he's off Ogygia, he probably has siren-adjacent voice-powers. Not as potent or completely-hypnotizing as their singing, just verrrry persuasive. Like. Extra Charisma points. Not that he knows, considering he's been living & interecting with gods for the past seven years and then next few days, so.
#idk#gods I think I just love monsters/inhumanity in people that Should be Human#huh.#that should get a smaller name >:/#anyway#should I tag Ithacan Naga in this?#nahhhh#uhm#just for now:#Monster Ody#additional thing; Godly-influences in monster form are very minimal#since it’s literally Man Made Monster#> snake fangs for obvious reasons#cunning trickery and silver-snake tongued Ody for ya#Oh Right and snake like tongue too#Wolf ears cause wolf Pack and wanting to get home and the ‘wolf pack swimming with the sharks now’ HIS WOLF PACK IS DEAD.#(and Autolycus ref cause I love the wolf theming for aforementioned inhumanity reasons)#claws are more snake/wolf features#odysseus#epic the musical#monster epic#epic monster#greek mythology

Why It Worked: The Bad Guys
SPOILER WARNING: This post contains majors spoilers for The Bad Guys. If You haven't seen this film, you might want to before reading further. You've been warned.
Introduction: The Bad Guys is an animated action, comedy, heist film based on the children's book series by Adam Blabey. Directed by Pierre Perifel, the film stars Sam Rockwell, Marc Marron, Awkwafina, Anthony Ramos, Craig Robinson, Zazi Beets, Alex Borstein, Richard Ayode, and Lilly Singh as Mr. Wolf, Mr. Snake, Ms. Tarantula, Mr. Piranha, Mr. Shark, Diane Foxington, Police Chief Misty Luggins, Prof. Marmalade, and Tiffany Fluffit. Produced by DreamWorks Animation and distributed by Universal Pictures, the film was released on April 22, 2022. Critics were very receptive to it as 88% of 172 reviews on Rotten Tomatoes gave an average rating of 6.9/10. The film was also a massive success, even by pre-pandemic standards, as it made $250 million on a budget of $69-80 million. When I first saw the trailer, I thought it looked super dope and upon watching it on Blu-ray I was absolutely blown away. This film excelled at all the aspects of it's filmmaking and I'm more than happy to talk about it on Why It Worked.
The Plot: Set in a world where humans and anthropomorphic animals coexist, a group of convicted felons plot to pose as good samaritans to pull off the biggest heist of all time. Things start to go awry when Wolf, the leader of the group, starts to find that being good actually feels really good. This puts his friendship with the guys, particularly Snake, to the test and uncovers a conspiracy that puts all of LA in great danger. Right out of the gate, this film hooks you with an amazing opening chase sequence that brilliantly introduces the characters, the world they inhabit, and the main conflict at hand. In addition to witty dialogue and hilarious jokes, the opening showcases what the tone of the film is and why we sympathize with these characters. The best part? The film keeps the momentum of the first 7 minutes going for the rest of the picture! This film has exquisite pacing with each scene showcasing wonderful use of show, dont tell, clever jokes, and excellent camaraderie between the characters. The greatest highlight of the film's story is its happy marriage of 2D and 3D animation, clearly taking a page from Sony's Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. The film brings these characters to life with remarkable cel-shading, unique body types based on their personalities, and very expressive facial features. LA also looks gorgeous with vibrant warm colors in the daytime, contrasting with soothing cool colors at night. The city also feels lived in with an abundance of people populating the backgrounds and the city feeling like a huge playground for the Bad Guys. The biggest highlights of the animation are the action scenes, which best showcase the speed, veracity, and vibrant colors the film offers. This film's story was already funny and unique, but the filmmakers went above and beyond in making this a masterclass of visual storytelling.
Cast and Characters: This has got to be among DreamWorks' best casted films! Everybody brings their A game to their roles, and they all have such great chemistry with one another. Our leading pickpocket and chief, Wolf, is such a swave, charismatic and funny leader who at first enjoys the life of crime he's chosen, but grows so fond of doing good he starts to drift from his original beliefs and becomes a really complex character. Major props to Sam Rockwell for delivering such an authentic and funny performance. His best friend, Snake, is a crusty, deadpan python who relishes his crime life more than Wolf, and they become at odds as the film progresses, and Wolf gradually becomes a different person. Marc Marron gave a very nuanced performance, making him sound crusty but also funny and fleshed out. Shark is a big, lovable master of disguise who adds extra comedy to the film thanks in large part to Craig Robinson's performance. Tarantula is the sassy, tech-savvy arachnid that serves as the group's hacker and is played brilliantly by Awkwafina. Piranha is a psychotic fish that acts first and thinks never and has some really good singing chops thanks to Anthony Ramos. Governor Diane Foxington is a sly, sassy, and clever public official who makes for a great foil for Wolf and is played wonderfully by Zazie Beets. Family Guy alum, Alex Borstein, absolutely kills it as Police Chief Misty Luggins, making her sound boisterous and manic in her pursuit of the Bad Guys. Lilly Singh did a really good job as Tiffany Fluffit, making her sound like an eccentric and bubbly news reporter. Then there's the film's surprise villain, Professor Marmalade. I honestly never saw the twist coming because, at first, he seemed like a genuinely good person who believes the Bad Guys can change, and everyone deserves a second chance. Once his true colors are revealed, that's when it all clicked. All this time, Marmalade was using the Bad Guys as a ruse to keep everyone's eyes off him so he could take the meteorite and harness its power to pull the biggest heist the world has ever known: using mind controlled guinea pigs to steal $1 billion dollars that was going to charity! Wow, now THAT'S evil! Richard Ayode provided such a brilliant performance, perfectly playing the kind, optimistic, good-hearted Marmalade while also devouring the scenery when his true colors are revealed. This is such a wonderful cast of characters, and everyone deserves a round of applause for their voice work.
Where It Falters: 👏I👏want👏more! No seriously, this film is a 10/10 and the only gripe I have is I want more. The film is 100 minutes long and it very much feels like this is the beginning of DreamWorks' next big franchise. So I definitely expect a sequel to be made at some point. Yes, I know there's a holiday prequel on Netflix, but I saw the trailer for it and it looked like a very pale imitation of this film. Might as well just watch The Bad Guys again, which I did.
Conclusion: The Bad Guys is now among my all time favorite DreamWorks Animation movies, right next to Kung Fu Panda 2 and The Prince Of Egypt! With a fast paced and hilarious story, well developed characters, excellent vocal performances, amazing animation, and a killer sound track, this film didn't meet my expectations: it EXCEEDED them! I can't recommend this film enough, especially if you're a fan of heist movies. This film should also be studied for aspiring storytellers on how to brilliantly showcase visual storytelling and how to write clever and witty dialogue. Thank you all so much for reading and I'll see you soon 😉

shaka (over an intercom): seraphim, lights out. go to bed
[s-hawk readies himself for bed, brushes his teeth, grooms his wings, and puts out his back flame, before cuddling in bed next to his copy of Yoru]
s-snake: are you sleeping with your fucking sword again. why are you like this
s-hawk: can you be nice to me for 5 minutes
s-snake: is it like a stuffed animal to you? can you not go beddie bie without your precious “meito”???
s-hawk: hey, Yoru is not like a plushie! its a finely crafted instrument of combat, and it
s-shark: cmon snake just let him sleep. it’s late. would it kill you to leave him alone
s-snake: that’s not even the real Yoru yknow
s-hawk:
s-hawk: I’M GONNA FUCKING KILL YOU
s-bear in the labosphere, standing behind shaka:
mom i threw
i threw up

Ok like, I know Toei probably doesn't know more than the average manga reader does about where the story is going/future chapters and plotlines but. Man. I've been rolling this around in my head all day.
You really put this between Bonney and Kuma and did not expect me to think about it so much. With the strong connection the two characters have, why place a seraphim in between besides cool visuals??? Why not slightly after and use anything else as a transition? Why would you choose S-Shark??? Why do we see this motion of him falling into the water eyes closed, and then once in the water eyes wide awake??? Is he going to have some sort of mental awakening from their "kind of a kid, kind of obedient robot" to "full kid?" This further leads me on the spiral of "Hey remember when S-shark lost his arm" and "Does it hurt? Are their pain sensors numbed? King could endure a lot but they're only half him-" Anyway that little thought tangent aside, I hope that people can see my thought process in this: With recent events, I've heard some people saying the seraphim are probably going to show up to fight Kuma and the straw hats. What if Kuma freed them from having to obey orders? It would be incredibly fitting in my opinion for him to protect children inherently, both Bonney, and the children the government is using- one of which is a clone of HIMSELF. That's gotta bring back some memories for the guy, even if his mind is gone, I think it would trigger something. Even though they're Vegapunks, the seraphim are loyal to the government by force, by programming. And I don't think he could bring himself to fight kids. (UNLIKE SANJI- Dude you ripped off his arm- I mean with your understanding of what's going on I guess I get it but damn) Solution? Freedom. Again, I know it's probably just "pretty visuals" But my analytical brain says just as Bonney reaches out of the water, as she sorts out her baggage, The awakening minds of the seraphim plunge them DEEP into baggage, both that they gained as minions for the government, and the ones seemingly imprinted on their lineage factor, as we see with S-Snakes trait of "Being in love with Luffy"
#That was actually pretty funny#weird but funny#one piece#one piece seraphim#s shark#s snake#bartholomew kuma#realizing that sanji literally ripped s-sharks arm off was crazy#It makes me question their anatomy#especially since their anatomy heavily impacts their story#but the lineage factor is like dna but if you're dna let you be traumatized#which I mean it's kind of a thing but y'know#s flamingo s croc and s bat (or gecko?) sitting on a beach waiting to fight a clown#meanwhile the rest of these guys are off getting ENLIGHTENMENT#and trauma#you win some you lose some ig#one piece spoilers

To me the scariest thing in the ocean ain’t even sharks, it’s sea snakes. Imagine just chilling in the water and vibing, and at some point you put on your your little goggles to take a quick peek under the water, only to see an extremely deadly snake effortlessly and quickly gliding its ass through the water to get you. Atleast you can somewhat attempt to defend yourself against a shark by punching it in the nose. You ain’t going to be quick or flexible enough in the water to handle a wiggly dangerous noodle, that’s like instant death.
#Fuck the ocean 🌊#I’d rather the shark 🦈#I like snakes 🐍 but I’d shit myself if I saw one coming at me in the water#This scenario is unlikely because I don’t fuck with ocean 🌊

the weird (maybe coincidentally) shared design choices between sampo and jade
#kae.txt#mhy#two snakes perhaps alike in dignity#unsavory characters for different reasons. conartist/thief/liar/etc and an ipc worker who is what i assume to be a loan shark.#just greedy the both of them#i dont want him to be connected to her but i like trying to figure him out with little to no information
