1:07:02
Shots like his hand releasing indicating...
1:07:05
Sinbad coming to a place where he's ready
and has accepted his fate.
1:07:08
Very different manner in which
we shot with Proteus.
1:07:15
There's such wonderful music here
and it builds to this crescendo.
1:07:19
And then Harry uses some of
the most lush chords I've heard here...
1:07:24
to indicate this turmoil.
1:07:28
Get back!
1:07:30
Originally, Sinbad was
whisked back to Tartarus...
1:07:32
and this whole thing
was actually an artificial test.
1:07:36
Ultimately, it was much more powerful
for Eris to have to come to Sinbad...
1:07:40
to basically...
1:07:42
eat crow in front of the entire city
where Sinbad would be...
1:07:45
redeemed in everyone's eyes.
1:07:47
We call it our "Godzilla in the harbor"
moment. Get Eris into the city.
1:07:51
And Michelle with this quaver in her voice...
1:07:55
is pulling off some amazing acting.
1:07:57
She's a goddess, she can't be killed,
she can't be destroyed, she's immortal.
1:08:02
And yet the stakes for her are so high here.
1:08:05
She really is vulnerable
and really is losing to Sinbad here.
1:08:09
This is one of the main reasons I think...
1:08:11
we had the change
from the two gods structure.
1:08:14
'Cause when we had the two gods,
we had the two of them at the end...
1:08:18
with Janus, the good god showing up
and essentially saying.
1:08:23
"Well, Eris, you did give your word.
You gotta give the Book back. "
1:08:26
And it just wasn't as satisfying as having...
1:08:28
a one-on-one face-off
between the two of them.
1:08:32
It made our leads passive.
1:08:35
It was always a struggle, though,
because how do you defeat a goddess?
1:08:38
The traditional way
to defeat a villain, frankly, is to kill them.
1:08:41
- They die at the end.
- They fall from a high place.
1:08:44
Yeah, that's the animated tradition.
1:08:46
So we worked very hard...
1:08:48
and had all sorts of permutations here
of how to defeat Eris.
1:08:53
We even had moments where Sinbad
would open the Book of Peace...
1:08:55
and the light of the Book of Peace
burned Eris and physically defeated her.
1:08:59
And yet, it became more satisfying
to have her admit defeat here...
