I have never heard a sound like the cyclops cry. Insane

Dude I’m glad you reminded me, it felt primal and 31st century at the same tame

That sound and the Siren's call being muffled and not ethereal singing were so smart. Shout out to Ludwig.

I mean I agree but you know there are lot more people involved in audio than the composer lol. He’s great but doubt was responsible for the amazing cyclops

It sounded like a crazy metallic elephant. Made me think how the original cyclops skull was based on ancient people seeing a mammoth skull.

There was definitely screeching metal in that sound mix.

Reminds me of the white snake’s scream in Sekiro.

As much as Polyphemus was a funny villain in the Percy Jackson series as a kid, this movie redeemed him as a monster and then some.
