BECAUSE I SUCK AT ART OKAY
Let's see if I get this...
So are you stating the difference between what the individual THINKS is right compared to the realities of what actually is right? Or perhaps should we say the difference between percieved justifiaction and absolute truths? After all, someone could kill a tyrant with a bomb, setting his people free, but he still commited an act of murder, which is wrong. Although the blame could be put upon the tyrant for pushing the people to the point that they murdered him, they/the man still chooses to kill.
I dunno, the phrases whipped by so quick my short term memory didn't have time to register them very well, so my perception of your message is probably warped.
I think you have a pretty good idea of what it is about mate. Is the action for the greater good? I leave you with that to ponder on.
Thanks for the review :)
Hehe
Yup, some kids just don't understand that this sin't the 50's anymore. You wanna know why the sky is blue? Google it! What's a bing? Google it! Why do cats purr? Google it! What is sex? GOOGLE IT! Well, maybe not that last one.
Yes sir, it's the answer to everything.
Brilliant, as always!
Way to go! You set a high standard for humor on this site, and now you just when and exceeded our expectations!
Consequently, where can I buy that VIking Song? It's the new "Still alive"!
Thanks man. You can look up the band "CEANN" on itunes and grab the song there, you can also go to their website ceannmusic.com and pick it up there. It's called "Blame the Viking" off their album "Rave, Rant, Lose Pants." (the whole album is fantastic.)
Neh
I had to close the movie window near the beginning of the second half. It was just that bad. The art was... decent, sometimes bordering on "really good", to the say the least. I found the story to be very banal, every plot point you made has been done not a thousand, not tens of thousands, but MILLIONS of times by basically everything to ever come out of Japan since the dawn of anime and video games. There was not a single point in this movie where I could not predict what would happen next. These elements combine to make the movie mediocre mostly, interspersed with some nice bits of animation and character design sprinkled throughout. Watchable, but nothing to write home about.
However... this movie just sort of explodes immediatley after taking off as soon as the music starts playing. I mean, my God, that music was just... it pretty much single handedly destroyed the small enjoyment I did have watching the movie. It makes me think of wrist-cutting, black-hair-dying, queer-for-sonic-the-hedgehog Emos. Seriously, it was THAT BAD.
Now, you seem like a guy with a lot artistic talent here. So, a few pointers to make my criticism contructive:
1. Work on consistency in your character designs. The quality kinda oscillated a lot in this movie.
2. Work on writing. Especially your plot-progression techniques and villain dialogue. While the dialogue the antagonist has is good for some silly, cartoony fun, the fact that he murders people brutally goes against the grain. Anyone willing to kill indiscriminately needs stronger motivation than "GRR, I IZ TEH STRONGEZT IN TEH UNI-VARSE, MUST KILL COMPETETION LOL." If he's just an insane, mindless killing machine, give us some background on how he ended up that way. (Try not to show it in the audiences faces though)
3. Please, PLEASE pick better music. In my own experience making movies (especially action-heavy ones) music that contains little to no lyrics is best. This is because genreally songs with lyrics are telling a story that distracts from the story YOU are trying to tell, and most of the time the stories songs tell are really pretentious and gay. Yes, gay, as in, BUTT SEX kind of gay. There is a TON of awesome music you can find under the audio section of Newgrounds from a variety of really talented people, all of which you can use for free so long as you credit the people who made the music.
I hope to see more of your work here, especially if you take peoples advice and avoid the pitfall so many other flash animators fall into. Namely, refusing to improve. But, I know you're smarter than that, right?
Haha well it's hard to take criticism from a person who didn't bother to watch it all! You would have known the twist at the end explains your #2 about the villain. Seriously, I find most of your complaints about the music is oozing with contempt for a genera and history of stereotype people rather than the actual cartoon (a robot that ends up questioning his role as a "hero" but you didn't watch the end so you wouldn't know that). And then you blatantly use rude derogatives to insult my cartoon? That's not very nice. How in the world was that going to make me say "Ah yes I should consider your critique"...?? I'm sorry the cartoon pissed you off this much lol and I'm always open to improvement for sure, but not from a reviewer who didn't watch the whole film, can't suspend his bias on music selection to look at the work with a fair eye, and then doesn't even give me a single ounce of respect for the time and effort I did making the thing and questions my intelligence in the final sentence.
FINALLY!
Finally someone who realizes how AWESOME we are are humans and isn't all " Save the whales, man! Go green! Stop being mean to livestock!"
Someday, with our technology, we'll render nature oboslete and we'll destroy it all and replace it with our artifice. AND IT WILL BE BADASS.
absolutely. humans are animals, but we're badass, super smart animals that have the ability to defy nature.
FINALLY!
Geez, I asked when the sequel would come out to TTB 1, like, a freakin' YEAR ago! I GUESS it was worth the wait... Aw, who'm I kiddin'? of course it was worth the wait!
We're going to try to make the next one more quickly because waiting is for chumps, and people who watch time bears are not chumps.
Agreed
I agree with the below post. although seeing as you pretty much wear your youth on your face by way of your talk, we can really expect nothing less.
Before you judge drugs and the people who use them, spend a year in any college dorm/frat house.
'S a shame that we're the same age.
And typing doesn't reflect age, unless it's a mauled version of AIM gibberish.
