#deathpierce

A few sketches!

I haven't shown a version of her wedding dress. Although I've had this sketch drawn for a long time.

I went with a pretty relaxed dress. Without a lot of flowers, bows and ruffles.

Since I'm not a fan of the whole thing.

I chose her long sleeves with lots of buttons, inspired by Russian boyar garments.

(This is not canon in my odysseyxnnt au!!! I’m just going by voices and vibes lmao)

(Voices are based in the japanese dub, I haven’t watched the english one sorry)

First, who gives theater kid ✨ vibes mhm

The first two characters that come to mind are Gowther (OBV) and Deathpierce (have you seen that guy like-), and like at least two out of the four archangels give me the vibes too but I want this to be like a “if there’s a production in universe who would be casted” (even if that would be impossible).

So I think that even if they give me the vibes some of them wouldn’t participate.

Taking that into account… First

Who of the nnt characters gives me theater kid vibes?: (The only 4kota characters I’m taking into account are Lancelot and Tristan)

-Golgius

-Ruin

-Marmas

-Twigo

-Vivian

-Gustaf

-Zaratras

-Dreyfus

-Hendrickson (I see him in the backstage, helping with the special effects)

-Margaret

-Gilthunder

-Jillian

-Slader

-Deldry

-Dogedo

-Deathpierce

-Pelliot

-Helbram

-Zaneri

-Nerobasta

-Sariel

-Tarmiel

-Ludociel (but doesn’t admit it)

-Gloxinia

-Melascula

-Galand

-Bellion

-Gerheade

-Dolores

-Gelda

-Ban

-Diane (especially in the dancing part)

-King (in costume or props design, I think he’d die if he were on stage)

-Gowther

-Tristan

Then we have the characters that’d be “that guy who hasn’t done theater in their lives but lands the main character”:

-Meliodas (HE ABSOLUTELY WOULD)

-Howzer and Griamore (the straight guys that get casted because there aren’t enough male actors😂)

-Elizabeth (her japanese VA sings very good)

Now, I don’t think that demons or archangels would participate in this as most of the people casted would be humans, but I see fairies and giants participating.

So finally, who would I cast for who? (Including substitutes)

For the main three humans soldiers (originally wanted them to be the troublesome duo but I’m changing it)

Polites: Gilthunder (I imagine him to have a sweet singing voice so it matches). Substitute: Howzer

Eurylochus: originally I wanted to make him Ban, but maybe he’d get too excited in the fighting scene and would end up badly lol, the I thought of Slader to have someone very tall but his voice doesn’t fit, so I’m going to go with Griamore as he has also a deep voice. Substitute: Slader (he’d pull a Jonathan Bailey and act as the straightest guy on Earth in this) or Golgius

Odysseus: Meliodas (he’s the power of the protagonist, also because I think he’d make both a good aggressive voice and an emotional voice which is necessary to make a good Odysseus). Substitute: Howzer or Slader (both can make it pretty scary and emotional I think

Crew and suitors: the ensemble would be a bunch of holy knights and most of them don’t even sing, they are on stage to make it seem as if there’s a lot of people. But the main voices that you can hear in the choir are: Golgius, Dogedo, Twigo, Ruin and Marmas.

Polyphemus: I want him to be Dolores with a distortion effect in her voice (with magic). I imagine her just apologising after every rehearsal haha.

Zeus: again almost casting Ban as him but I think that Dreyfus would be best as he looks older and has a deep voice too. Substitute: Ban

Winions: I’d love if this part of the ensemble are fairies that were convinced by Helbram to participate in this (he’s not dead in this okay? I love him so much and I need him for this to work)

Hermes: talking about Helbram…Yeah, him. Substitute: Harlequin would have to step up and he is praying he doesn’t has to lol (they needed someone who could fly), also Gloxinia

Athena: I want Margaret to be her so much, I feel she would be a very good actress for her but her voice don’t match that much, but that’s because she always speaks so softly… Maybe she could be a good Penelope? Ok I’m leaving Athena and Penelope for the end because I think I have an idea.

Aeolus: Elaine or Elizabeth (I know Elizabeth would do a perfect Penelope as Mel is Odysseus but I don’t think she’d want such a spotlight), both would work so I’m making them taking turns haha.

Circe: Deldry yayyy. Substitute: Jillian

Tiresias: Howzer CAN sing. Substitute: Gowther (he can imitate any voice so the singing bit isn’t a problem to him, and I think he can pull off a very good dramatic act)

Poseidon: BAN WOULD BE THE PERFECT POSEIDON, especially with Mel as Ody. Substitute: Deathpierce

Apollo: Gloxinia. Substitute: Marmas

Hepheastus: I think this as a role for “an invited celebrity” such as Denzel.

Afrodite: wanted to make her Melascula but can’t so it’s for an “invited celeb”. Substitute: Eli:) as a fun gag

Ares: Twigo¿ no idea, I wanted to make him Galand but can’t, also for an “invited celeb”. Substitute: Meliodas as a fun gag:)

Telemachus: depending on the timeline ngl, either Pelliot or Tristan. Substitute: Simon (a grown ass man but that’s how theater works)

Antinous: Deathpierce, fire vocals need the guy who’s power is related to music heh. Substitute: Dogedo

Like why the hell would you use MELIODAS and ELIZABETH as your target of revenge because DERIERI and LUDOCIEL fucked you over-

He even ACKNOWLEDGED that they both died in the 2nd holy war and still wanted to enact his revenge he's just beating a dead horse atp

Also i'm never gonna get over the Derieri burning scene

The animations looks like they're straight out of grand cross. It was worse in part.1 than in part.2 but overall the pt. 2 version was pretty good. Just please god put more shading on the characters. in some scenes it really could have used the shading to feel more put together. (gowther tho 😭)

In several places lancelot was unnecessarily rude to tristan. For the viewers there's two sides to it, on one hand, punching your friend for zero reason like that isn't ok, on the other hand, it gave lance tsundere vibes. the way lancelot did things felt like a childhood bully. the execution of these scenes made tristan the pushover and lancelot the pusher throughout a lot of the movie. while it was clear Tristan had not a clue of what he was doing Lancelot had no good reason to punch Tristan.

The description of Tristan's demon transformation was fonomanol. It was vivid and lovely! the way he said "my heart won't stop pounding." really made the feeling of what Tristan was going through real and tangible. "my blood feels like it's on fire" added to this. it makes you feel what tristan is feeling. the muffeld hey coming from lancelot also contributed. the question "what's happening?" made his feeling of panic clouded by his demon mode really vivid. Again, the muffeld "hey" amplified it even more. this scene was so well written and really vivid. If other movies are made let's hope that a scene like this is in it!

Tristan being scared of his own power hit me right in the the angst feels- and in the trauma.

Meliodas' parenting in Grudge of Edinburgh pt.1 (table scene) came off a dismissive and it was quite sad to watch. "since when did you become a pharmacist tristan? Your dream was to become a holy knight one day." isn't a good thing to say to a 14 year old. having a parent invalidate you like that hurts. This scene portrayed tristan as a rogue teenager trying to fight his dad, while tristan did make a good point. people change and as kids grow they want to be different things when they grow up. So when meliodas tried to pull tristan back to his previous dream it felt pushy. by ignoring tristan meliodas even if by very little pushed tristan away. this could've been better written in the way the interaction flowed. Meliodas is a good dad but they don't show him that way.

the body fusing was a good element to show how unhinged Deathpierce is. the grey demons demonstrated how that destroyed their trust in humans, ergo it was most likely uncomfortable. adding on to this the grey demons body language signaled that they were scared.

The Deathpierce 'new genrationing' scene was pretty fun to watch. "So I just have to accept that lord denzel was murdered at the hands of a filthy non-human!?" Yes, yes you do. in the scene, the grief and anger that Deathpierce feels starts to appear yellow. deathpierce called them "exploitive" and "manipulative." it's very clear how he feels. anger, hurt, emotional exposure, unstability, loneliness, uncertainty, and grief are all emotions we see come into play during this scene.

overall: 9.5/10

I loved it but meliodas' parenting paired with lance really put me off.

IM SORRY?!?!!? WHAT?!
