Athena and Odysseus in EPIC seem to take opposite, parallel paths.

Odysseus starts off still with his humanity and empathy, straddling the line between righteousness and ruthlessness, but has to throw this away and "become the monster" if he ever wants to make it home.

Athena begins as a distant divinity - "not looking for a friend" - yet she comes to find a close bond with Odysseus' son and seemingly uses her dying breath in service of her human friends.

Yet they come to find themselves in more-or-less the same situation, Odysseus at the end of Thunder and Athena at the end of Wisdom:

Shot at by Zeus' lightning;

Near death - Calypso first thought Odysseus was dead when he washes ashore, and Ares asks if Athena has died as the light appears to have left her;

Having had their "true natures" revealed by the king of the gods - that Odysseus will always prioritise himself and his family, and that deep-down Athena is not as 'cold-hearted' and calculating as she seems to project.

Maybe that's what they'll be able bond over or something

YES the chained up scene is literal remake perfection ✨

Btw I’m not a film major or anything, I’m just here to ramble because listen. The writers and the cinematic director took an almost static scene, cleaned up the script, and made it so much more dynamic. In the og, you’re kind of passively just watching Leon and Luis talk. I mean it’s alright but visually a little boring; although you do get this rotating camera effect. But even that doesn’t last long and you’re treated to some static below-the-shoulders angle.

In the remake, the chains are there to act as visual representation for the push and pull of conversation. And it’s cut in between the speaking. Also a nice “show and not tell” way to differentiate between their personalities. So not only is it more visually stimulating and symbolic but the scene itself doesn't feel like an info dump.

And it truly isn't this time. The writers were definitely trying to avoid how it was done in the og where the two were just straight up revealing personal history like it’s a coffee date. Another thing, the camera is far more dynamic too. When the Ganado was being wrestled on chains, the “camera” doesn’t just stick to using different cuts and angles to convey the action like before.

The camera is actually an interactive part of the scene. Circling from Leon to Luis, to traveling over the chains. It follows the movement of the Ganado which makes it feel a bit more personal. The remake does a lot of following character’s movements in general; almost like you’re a paparazzi with a camera.

If you compare the camerawork and editing between the og and the remake, you'd find that they're almost similar. Like yes, you still get your quick cuts, campy zoom-ins and angles. But what the remake does is improve upon that style especially by adding handheld camera movement. It feels like a proper evolution. They’ll do something like what I pointed out before or have certain shots just linger instead of using a cut to show the next action like they did here.

Even the part where Luis throws the key is framed interestingly. Because the og has a lot of shots of just the important objects themselves. Either a zoom-in or static frame. But what the remake does here is a subtle elevation; shifting focus from one subject to another in literally one shot. It’s a simple solution but so fucking cool.

As a last note, I like this reimagining too because the writing actually takes into account prior events. With Leon having been attacked by a village and Luis barely knowing who Leon even is, it makes sense that they treat the other like strangers in their own respective way. There’s no reason for them to be having a friendly a conversation. And imo, the remake does a great job of leaving the audience with a curious impression of Luis and sets up the future interaction with Leon. Like again, in the og there was none of that. Luis leaves and you meet up with him with no sense of continuity of the last interaction.

trying to find a font similar to the one in Cadence of Hyrule and I want to cry. I could buy the font (it’s called Snuggle) for 5 bucks, but I could also use those 5 bucks for literally anything else. I just want to make my funky little comic in peace and for freeeeee

idly thinking here but honestly i think if this blog went down then i'd just be done with tumblr forever. like.....that's it. this is the blog i've had for as long as i've had a tumblr account, i'm not built like the people who can start again and remake over and over again. it'd be a sign that i just need to be done with this website for good i think.

Remade my INTEREST CHECKER to account for all of the NEW MUSES that I either added or am thinking about adding. All OLD RESPONSES have been DELETED so if you’ve ever filled it out before, I’d appreciate it if you redid it since it’s most likely changed since then. I’ll reblog this a few times to get it out there and then sew the seeds of chaos I usually do on the dash.

ya know, i'd really love to see bokumono for snes remade so i can see the characters and setting fleshed out more, but... what would they do about the lack of bachelors in that game? like, they wouldn't have to worry about a fem!protag bc they have sara, but would they use the bachelors they added to magical melody? or maybe just create new ones? 🤔

Once upon a time in a story far far away There was a god of seeing, who decreed "There will be a bunny with hair as grayed as night, eyes as red as blood, of which both cannot be bid away. Yes, it will leave the destruction of the world behind."

You can imagine the surprise when two young bunnies had a child with eyes so dark it blended with shadow, and eyes so red it reminded them of jewels. Beings the faithful servants they were, they took their child to the holy tower. There countless of innocent bunnies with dark hair and crimson eyes would be seen. Each one given a potion and one option: Drink. There was only one outcome was possible, their hair would turn into a vibrant white, their vision would pale. The parents would heave a relieved sigh as they guide their now blind child away from the tower. It didn't matter that the kids suffered a life without light, for at least they weren't the feared child of darkness. This child though, did not want to drink. She cried and screamed, her young mind not quite thinking, but not quite quiet. Eventually they poured the bile liquid down her throat and with a horrid cry she collapsed. That was all memories she has now forgotten.

Rabioa couldn't remember much about the world, not that she didn't mind. She always liked dancing among the clouds, the fresh air against her skin, and how sweet the apples from her odd little tree grew, or how she often stared at her dark hair and red eyes in the quaint pond built into her paradise.

Paradise.

A concept that Rabioa adored! There were these mysterious friends in big white cloaks, who came every so often to preach to her mind, to give her the tastiest little foods, or even seeds to plant and nurture! They always explained that she needed to stay in this big glass cage home!!

The friends always said that she needed to he patient and wait in her paradise, that they were currently preparing the world for her arrival, and that her home is actually very luxurious and so many people are dying everyday without even being able to live such a life and why are you crying, don't be selfish, this is all for you, stop clinging onto us you creature.

Rabioa never remembered much. She didn't even remember her last name. She didn't mind. She trusted the friends she never had a choice. So why did she always feel like crying when she saw the vast lush scenery far down below, far away from her reach? Because you are damned. She always felt a little... odd, whenever she laid in bed and tried to sleep. Thoughts always flooded her mind I want to leave this place, she didn't quite understand them I don't like this paradise but it didn't matter.

She was in paradise, and she will not leave. I hate having to get involved.
