The only thing that bugged me about this episode was the fact there was no reaction to the decaying scent of the giant. Like imagine how repulsive that beach would’ve smelt? Being in close or far proximity of a rotting body of that mass you’d be vomiting violently.
The fact that we never saw him alive makes it so special. We don’t know who the giant was we are just hearing the story of his body slowly decomposing. This is truly my favorite episode out of all episodes from V2
Best episode in season 2 imho. No action, no answers. Just the last days of someone known as Giant, who will never tell his story, and the little observer who wants to hear it.
@@pinto_8261 it's actually more of a metaphor, for the way we project ideas onto things and humanity itself. Assuming it was just a whale does no justice to the original writer J. G. Ballard's work, which was not just aliens and robots sci-fi, but philosophical and surreal.
This was hauntingly beautiful. By the time it had finished, I almost felt like I'd watched a small documentary, like this was actually somebody's account of a real event.
No. Insects just get food from death Big bodies. Humans here... Just have fun with a dead giant body... Like the narrator said "he looked more human than others..."
@@Thewolfstation24 I hate when people starts walk to his body to do disgusting things like draw or cut smt to keep. I hope the researcher would shot to scare them. It disgusts me so much. In med/school students touch real human bone. Some of them even draw, point and break them with no respect. Filthy.
@@forester2845 It may be because it positions death as a beautiful afterlife, in which we become immortal through our deconstruction. Death is beautiful, basically
I expected the giant corpse to wake up and go on a rampage, but instead it decayed and was torn apart. I like how they try to make these stories unpredictable.
I think this might be in some way a representation of what it's like for smaller animals if they found a dead human, basically about the cycle of life and stuff like that
He was probably from a different planet with different atmospheric conditions, lower gravity and such, that allowed for the evolution of much larger organisms. He likely had mishaps during space travel and reasoned coming to this semi-similar planet was his best option for survival; however, the conditions of earth were too harsh and he expired. He couldn’t support his massive weight here or draw enough oxygen from our atmosphere. Maybe in a few centuries, somewhere out in the deep ocean, we’ll find what is left of his spacecraft.
He could be from a planet with more oxygen than earth, not necessarily smaller. The dinosaurs lived here too, and some of them were massive because we had more oxygen in the atmosphere
@@VNuxion true, but I think his bipedal frame would need to be much thicker to support his weight if his planet had the same gravity and he grew to that size. He has the exact proportions of a human yet is tremendously heavier. Our proportions are intended for our mass/gravity ratio. I believe the only way he could have our exact proportions and that much mass is if his planet had less gravity.
though with that kind of side, the impact he cause to the ocean would be too large for anyone to not notice his arrival, so it may make more sense if he just from different dimension, sudden teleport straight into the ocean and just drown there.
Is the meaning more around wonder and how this, like everything else, is just ephemeral? Out of sight out of mind, regardless of how amazing the subject matter is. The giant to me represents dinosaurs, the 7 wonders of the world etc … amazing to the onlookers of the day, but when ravaged by time become almost forgotten oddities.
I couldn't ever tell you exactly why, but this is STILL my hands down fav episode of the whole show! There are a LOT of contenders for second, but this will always be first for me
People shouldn't blame TIM MILLER for the failure of "Terminator: DARK FATE" He was the director, not the writer. Killing John Connor was James Cameron's idea. Miller deserves another chance in the film industry, because he has so much to offer "Love, Death & Robots" proves that
Some people are criticizing the unrealness of this story, saying the military would be swarming the site, the people react strangely, etc., and...that’s the point. It’s supposed to be surreal. It’s a meditation on the Sublime, something so beyond the pale of normal human experience that it removes all pretense and expectation. And, poignantly, the moral of this story is that no one stops to actually appreciate the Sublime nature of the Giant. They treat it as some kind of silly playground and nothing more; only the narrator comes close to appreciating the uniqueness of the moment, and even he stops short of truly grasping it. It shows how humans rarely stop to consider how truly wonderful and strange this world is. The pure wonder and surreality of the Giant is not only completely destroyed, it was never noticed in the first place. Absolutely beautiful and poignant story.
It was a touching episode, and the animation was stunning. But I couldn't get past how horribly smelly and disgusting that body would be by the third day, especially with all of the sea birds there. It wouldn't have been that pretty, but I realize that wouldn't make for pleasant viewing.
As a writer, I need the whole story lol. As an artist, I appreciate the art of mystery in story telling, however, like many I'm sure, I'd love to know where he came from, and how he entered the ocean and drowned. I'm reminded of jack and the beanstalk, and how the giant fell to his death, so from what I gathered from this story, there may be an underscoved island the amazon forest, or maybe the congo, places that may hold secrets, and he fell in the water, not knowing how to swim. There are places on earth where many civilizations have spotted Giants, and because he was naked and not clothed, he may have come from one of these places, and modern technology or even the knowledge of being"naked" has no effect on them. This was truly one of my favorite episodes
while them just butcher him is sad but not like they can just leave him there, his body will be decay and eaten by seagull or became crab and various animal nest anyway, then his decomposed body would destroy the beach while his fluid will make that part of the ocean gone bad too.
you the type of mf to turn a whale carcass into ash instead of using all of it's parts for something and letting other animals feed on the rest. You are the complete waste of space, not us.
Or maybe one of the very few remaining Giants that survived the war in Ragnarok? Or a Titan from some unknown land. I remember in Gulliver's Travels that he stumbled upon an island dominated by giants. The older movie and the book. Not the one staring jack black.
I felt strange watching this episode, it bothered me that people made it a tourist attraction, I kept waiting for answers like: who is he? how did he die? Where he came from?
These episode was like human telling his life expectancy and dissolution after death 💀 his body Can't explain No world's after watching these last episode I was soo quite and my mind was pushing me to think about body and death 💕💀🦾
It's sad that this is episode is so true in real life people would be terribly disrespectful to the giant desecrate him as does how people are towards nature and animals, even other people
@@projectatlas4400 clearly missed the point. They weren't lucky. They were never in any danger. A giant beyond humans died and washed up on the beach, even a "GOD" is mortal.
he practically was. While everyone else just saw it as what it was. A decaying mass of flesh, he was over here fantasizing it, thinking about how cool it would be if somehow this creature beyond ourselves would come back to life. ofc it never did.
I saw someone describe the inner monologue as 'B English lit essay'. I intend to agree. Especially after his initial description of the giant's features. Who the f thought that counts as good writing?
I don't understand how this guy is a scientist and nobody took any specimens to study. No blood samples no skin tissue to study. Like no scientist wold see this and not want to study it.
Wouldn’t the government be investigating the giant like where it came from or something and how is everyone cool if walking over on it I wouldn’t even touch it
The old man had some weird crush on the giant, homie needs a life. Lemme know in the comments below how hurt my comment made you. :'( or how dumb you think I am xp
at least for whale, human would just remove it out of the beach as the dead body of a whale not gonna smell good when it decomposed on the beach, so unlike the giant, no one gonna want to get close to it to play around or graffiti on it.
I don't know if it's just me but I watch this and between the narrator's voice and the loneliness of it all made me feel sad. Then I go and watch some people's reactions and it's like empathy and feeling is gone from everybody. They focus on the wrong things it's strange zero emotion
The only thing that bugged me about this episode was the fact there was no reaction to the decaying scent of the giant. Like imagine how repulsive that beach would’ve smelt? Being in close or far proximity of a rotting body of that mass you’d be vomiting violently.
Whoever wrote that narration deserves a raise.
It’s based on a short story by JG Ballad xx
J.G.Ballard - Genius
The guy who made Deadpool

No way would someone camp next to a decomposing body especially of that proportion. The smell would literally reach miles.
This was hauntingly beautiful. By the time it had finished, I almost felt like I'd watched a small documentary, like this was actually somebody's account of a real event.
it's like we're insects that decompose the human body, poor guy ended up with his parts everywhere and can't even have a proper funeral
I think it is to show how everyone wants a piece of the pie of the giant for their on purposes and for entertainment for themselves.
@@iammeltedvengence1234 yea that's obvious but i think he should be put in some proper place like a museum or sth, just my thoughts

attack on titan
If it woke up it would probably go on a rage and kill every human it could find
The animation on this was amazing where some parts I couldn’t believe wasn’t real.
You scared the shit outta me with that pfp
I didn’t realise it was cg until a few minutes in
Looked amazing until all the characters appeared.
Yep it’s called motion capture

When I watched this episode, I felt like I was reading a Lovecraft tale.
Actually it's from a JG Ballard tale.
Damn this episode just gives you a weird feeling the entire time and a little after...
If this happens in real life there would be military all over the place, choppers flying around and what not
This happens all the time in real life.
It was actually a whale ?
@Peter Phillips Yes my ex gf was one of them lel
this is a representation of whales washed up in shore
And we probably wouldn't even know about it
Like a dark alternate version to Gulliver's Travels
I thought about it too
I too was reminded of Gulliver.
I think this might be in some way a representation of what it's like for smaller animals if they found a dead human, basically about the cycle of life and stuff like that
I can totally see what your saying how the town just moves on and the butcher even keeps a bone
Narration level : ♾
yeah Steven Pacey does incredible work. He did a spectacular job with The First Law audiobooks, and well worth a try if you’re into fantasy
I thought during some part of the movie, another giant would of come walking onto the beach
This is a tv show of random things
I don't know why but I thought the same thing
It’s not a movie dude
Perhaps a female giant
One of my favorite sci-fi shorts of all time, a quiet and gorgeous allegory about our perception of death and the immedeate legacy we leave behind.
The crazy part about this show is all of these short stories can be full length movies

If the Colossal Titan kept it's skin:
Nah the colossal titan is taller than this shrimp
It's just a normal titan
The movie directors said the colossal titan was 60 meters tall and he looks abt 60 meters tall so yeah I think it would be colossal titan with skin.
@@hellothere9833 nah that ain’t 60 meters NEARLY, more like around 15 meters

Exactly!
It's not just time who ravages
Human "consumption".
And that's far more swift and brutal than time.
An I the only one that thinks the giant looks a lot like Dennis Reynolds from It's Always Sunny?? 😂
I thought the same thing.
To me he kind of looks like Patrick Wilson😅
they killed the golden god
They've got the same Range Rover at the start too lol
I couldn't ever tell you exactly why, but this is STILL my hands down fav episode of the whole show! There are a LOT of contenders for second, but this will always be first for me
Someone should question Levi Ackerman’s whereabouts the night this giant washed up on shore.
People shouldn't blame TIM MILLER for the failure of "Terminator: DARK FATE"

Hands down the best episode of the 2nd volume 👏
So people see a giant dead corpse on the beach and they just decide to play, butcher, and desecrate him. Makes sense in today’s society
Dude, its surreal. It didnt intend to predict what the world would actually do.
desecrate? You care so much about things that are already long gone, I wonder how "well" you treat people who are still here.
@@bungiecrimes7247 how does me wanting to treat a corpse with respect have anything to do with how I treat people today?
Honestly i thought this was live action 50% of the time the lighting and character models are fucking ridiculous uncanny
Why does this whole story make me think of all the Greek statues and marbles being stationed and put to show in the british museum?
This was like Gullivers travels but ded
So this is what happens to Dennis.
