PowerRangerYELLOW's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Krinkels is an Impostor!]

that rotten theif krinkels better stop imposting

This is actually a pretty original collab theme you got going here but i would have been somewhat more selective since there was a whole bank of really good parts but some not so good parts in there as well.

But even those parts were pretty funny too.

when you do a collab of this type you have to either be picky or if you don't reject parts than try to balance out the terrible parts with even more good to the best of your collab organizing abilities.

But when your organizing a comedy collab.

The parts overall quality doesn't truely matter because at the end of the day all that really matters was it funny?

comedy movies that end up being 1 star of 4 tend to do better with the public than 1 star movies within other genres.

and the simple reason is because it makes people laugh.

But as i said you should have been a little picky when doing a collab such as this.

It made me chuckle a little bit anyways but some dvd like extras would have been some nice bonuses for this otherwise hilarious collab.

In closing krinkles is gonna love this shit. I just know it.

[Brawl Funnies [dick 3]]

Awesome

This was pretty much a good parody to a parody of a parody so in other words this is basically a triple parody.

I knew brawl funnies was going to be targeted for satire sooner or later.

thats the thing with satire here is that even other satires are not safe from being a target of satire.

In the end it is all fair game.

You summed up a large chuck of what the humor in brawl funnies was basically and you even got a jab at rtil's Metropolis Circuit.

It's an interesting combination to say the least and i will be interested in seeing more parodies of not just brawl funnies but brawl taunts since that basically spoofed itself too and is also a target for parody.

Keep those parodies coming.

A few months ago ashford pride made a movie with a foreboding title. It was called "Awesome Grounds".

Well ladies and gentlemen, that's might as well what this site should be called (at least right now), with the top row on the front page slot dedicated to an "awesome" movie and an "awesome" parody, an "awesome" t-shirt in the newgrounds store, and pretty much every "awesome" movie in the top 100, along with han's "awesome's creed".

I can't go to newgrounds with seeing something not about egoraptor or his coveted video game parody series. It makes me wonder sometimes if pursuing anything but half-assed cartoons making mildly funny observations about video games laced with profanity is even worth it. Truly, they are what bring the masses of 13-year olds to this site, and thus increases traffic and competition in the internet world. But you have to ask yourself, with this sort of two-bit audience increasing in numbers, are they really interested in watching anything else?

I understand that it's a dog eat dog world in the online entertainment business, and to compete you have to pretty much put up content that a majority of internet browsers would click on. This includes either women or video games. Things they already know they want. And that's all they want. They sign up, watch more, and come back and do it again later. They're trained to know that what they want is easily accessible and is promoted all over the site.

Original content is often shuffled off to the bottom of the page, or never gets any attention to begin with. Now comes into play the whole 'they won't click on it unless there's a boob for the icon', etc etc. That's because they've been fashioned to think that way.

I'm not saying i have all the mysterious answers to the way people's minds work. But this much is true - if all people click on are breasts and video game icons, and you give them breasts and video game icons, you're not pushing the envelope.

Newgrounds is the epitome of user-generated content. We already have a massive advantage over youtube in the fact that making a cartoon involves so much more creativity than snappily editing your webcam footage. So instead of 200 cartoons coming out every minute, we have 200 cartoons coming out every day. That gives someone a better chance of breaking out and being discovered for his hard work, and a reward for a job well done.

But in the same way that viewers are trained that they don't have to go out of their way to avoid original content they would otherwise enjoy, authors are becoming more and more disenchanted with their personal creations and are turning to nerd culture icons and cheap tactics to get viewers.

I can't tell you how many animators I have spoken to that have shunned their own creations in favor of sub-pop culture parody and disjointed scripts sprinkled with toilet humor and profanity. a cartoon catering to everyone who's forgotten what cartoons are all about. And here we are shoving away everything about cartoons that was originally appealing and magical, because we're pretty much forced to.

I'm not pointing the finger at any one person here. I think it's part of the bigger picture - bigger than Newgrounds, too. But if people really care about the future of cartoons and animation, we wouldn't be seeing this kind of blatant favoritism.

People will find what they want if they want it. They don't need to be spoon fed it all.

For thirty years animators who strive to create something genuinely unique have gotten nothing but a slap in the face. It's sickening and it has to stop someday, before they all disappear.

Lastly, this post is not about me. I'm not writing this out of self-pity, bitterness or spite. I'm being honest. I care a lot about the future of animation, and what I see around me is very troubling. The industry is bad enough, but where the future lies is in the small corners of the animation world. Newgrounds is one of them. I spend a lot of time trying to encourage and teach frame-by-frame animation, and creating your own characters and scripts. That is what is important

[Alien Sex Robots Attack]

Alien sex robots attack. That's a catchy title.

The movies title really grabs your attention because it is simple psychology.

Sexy titles equals more views even if the viewer doesn't happen to be horny at that point.

You did some well done png integration and made full use of your tweens and even googled photos of sex toys from different angles.

The way you even rotated some of your sex toys to switch directions was pretty interesting and the fact that the air forces was fighting an invading force of alien sex toys is highly absurd.

Your syncing was decent overall and was very much in the same vein as the old animutions.

I can picture this little funny movie being at least a little successful around here even if some of us here are somewhat tired of sex humor.

I would be interested in seeing you try drawing your own pictures, frame by frame with your future works.

In closing don't be shy to do another little experiment such as this and don't relay on sexual humor too much because without some non sexual offensive humor, clean jokes or any kind of wit to balance out your comedy diet.

It all falls apart because sometimes sex humor can back fire and end up being pretty lame.

g01010 responds:

Thanks for your insightful critique. I was particularly intrigued by your comments on the use of "sexual humour" given that your most recent submission to this site is entitled "Megaman Guzzles Cum".

[URTUM TR33!!?? LOL!!1]

That was hilarious

It's a pretty good quick parody of Autumn Tree and the reason the whole subject matter was approached with a light touch rather than a serious touch is because it is a movie to get a rise out of autumn tree fanboys.

The speed up emo music and the very silly stick figure like graphics in general but i would have been interested in seeing this style do a full on shot by shot parody of autumn like a ten minute movie for example.

It would likely work but this spoof works too.

The Gayest Showdown is the best movie ever

[Brawl Funnies [Dick 1]]

Lacks the same edge as metal gear funnies

The collab in general was above average here but not as good as i was expecting to be honest.

I feel it has been hyped up for a good long time but satire doesn't automatically equal quality especially when it lacks the very same bite as a previous satirical collab called metal gear funnies.

You pretty much already said what you had to say in that previous effort so what more has to said?

The natural thing to do would have been to satirize your targets reaction to the satire in general.

Make them think it's an apology and than give them them a giant middle finger metaphorically speaking.

That is not saying that is some valid satire in there but the lack of shock vaule and all around lack of surprise causes me to subtract points.

kirbopher and rina chan are perfect targets for satire because they bring in new stuff onto the table to say but the rest of the stuff you spoofed has already been said before.

If you do another video game related funnies movie than please parody the reaction of metal gear funnies and the praise that brawl funnies got just because it simply removed the gross stuff and repeated the same arguments metal gear funnies already made.

A more effective satire but only because the previous effort made great arguments, was offensive, was gross and all around went against the grain of what your targets wanted.

Remember when a satire repeats itself it is no longer a satire but a target to be satirized.

I know you guys are my friends and all but i had to be honest here because i was a little disappointed and the collab didn't meet my expectations due to all the hype.

In closing a good sequel but an opportunity to top metal gear funnies was missed.

CoolDrMoney responds:

I agree

But its mostly cause WPS wasnt involved in this and that hurts the most :(

[TOFUTWO]

Almost all or nothing here but why

You got some really decent drawings but those twig arms on your man looks really awkward.

You can do the legs,body and face just fine so why not do the arms with the same attention to detail as well.

I don't understand why people do there drawings as part way stickmen even in small part when they can either do a true stickman such as twig legs, twig torso, twig arms and a head or not do a stickman at all.

explosm for example gives his stickman a rounded stomach and it just looks awkward to me because it's a fake version of stick figures.

a stick figure wouldn't look right without the twig arms, twig torso and twig legs.

Just like how your drawing of your man doesn't look right with those stick figure like twig arms.

Just one little thing to complain about in your otherwise well done movie here.

I would just recommend coloring in your animations using color pencils, crayons, paints, markers, pastels,ect.

anything but photoshop if you can help it.

It looks better than photoshops brushes in my opinion.

Things like coloring pencils, paints, markers, crayons and whatever else you use to color in your masterwork is not hard to come by.

You can actually find that stuff in pretty much anywhere so your tools are not hard to come by and it looks better than photoshop brushes and easier to get a hang of.

I like all those different and changing camera angles you did in your cartoon it really gives it a lot of scope.

Those fast jump cuts you use a lot set an atmosphere of open space in your movie all together.

If at all possible could you make more traditional animation and try different things on for size since your pretty damn successful already.

It's refreshing to see a daily first that isn't overrated trash.

thanks.

[Waterlollies 2]

You sir are a hero to me and all of mankind

The very fact that this submission is a misleading title makes the prank all the more brillent.

It's the flash equal of running into a church and yelling there is "No god" at the top of your lungs.

In closing don't kill the messager but kill the unwashed masses that leave this wonderful movie bad reviews for years to come.

[Awesome's School]

You almost got a good satire here

Thats an actual pretty good satirical attack of the slap dash production of pico's school and i know plenty of people will click this review as useless but pay attention to pico's school and this movie.

It points out the flaws of the games narrative in general.

I think awesomebine would have been a better title for this movie because while you are spoofing both pico's school and egoraptor's humor styling.

Pico's school is a very much a columbine inspired game and the fact it was released on the same year as the columbine high school massacre.

Hell, i got in trouble at school for playing pico's school on the computer but it was only a brief lecture that while the game is a harmless distraction it might not be socially appropriate to play at school.

This in general is an alright spoof of ego's work but nothing that i would consider to be the parody it could have been.

Ego's work in general with the exception of girl chan is hyper as hell and confusing.

I would have made fun of that such as making the pace somewhat faster because i while i hate ego's work it oddly works because it ends in a blur leaving you room with only two reactions.

Hey this is funny or hey that sucked dicks.

General ivan's voice acting was very comical stuff and i liked how he did all the voices because everyone of them fitted the characters.

His emotions in the voices were way above average and he didn't really underact nor did he do any real overacting rather he overacted when appropriate because the movie itself overacted.

This shows signs of a great actor at work and i hope to see more animators asking him for help rather than the same actors everyone else uses due to there popularity.

Most voice actors on newgrounds tend to do the same voice for there characters because they can only do there natural voice and can barely act.

a tip for any would be voice actors reading this review.

Remember to always try on a new voice before taking on a new roll because you don't want too many characters you voice to sound alike.

In short you picked a good voice acting to work with and your doing a good thing by asking a voice actor who doesn't appear to be plastered all over other movies within the portal.

We as a viewing public while like seeing actors we like do other work we also give more of a fuck over an actor's performance over the animator using said voice actor's celebrity status.

This was a dead on parody of pico's school but the satirical attack on egoraptor's work could have been a little better because you left some aspects of his shit unspoofed.

As i said egoraptor's metal gear awesome, mario awesome and epically awesome gaiden end in a confusing blur leaving you room for only two reactions.

That was funny or that sucked dicks.

The fact that this didn't end in a even more confusing blur and left room for inbetween reactions renders this as an imperfect spoof to ego's humor stylings.

Lalo responds:

Thanks for the review mister :)

[What I saw on Newgrounds]

I wonder whats on ng today? oh no dicks!!!!

Kinda funny but the anime stock expressions here kinda tainted your more personal drawing style here.

Look at the expressions at other people such as when your watching a movie that is shocking your friends.

Real people make much funnier faces when they are shocked and the whole whites of the eyes and no pupils in anime is an exaggeration of this actual facial expression people use.

Once you understand how overused the stock facial expressions of the shocked eyes and anime happy eyes than you will understand that there is funnier ways to draw these emotions.

animate there eyes moving somewhat and there face twitching as there emotions change.

On the last frame there is a gap left open around your characters hair and we can see part of the background through him.

Take the time to actually fill in that gap because while most people take gap free coloring for granted.

They do notice when you leave gaps open.

and i like the little message that we should all be aware of what were watching before complaining since sometimes there are warning signs that you'll end up seeing something you don't want to see.

I kinda watch stuff i have no interest in seeing because of boredom and curiosity.

In closing a decent submission that is under 50kb in file size.

Thank you for this comment! I will consider this advice for Future flashes! perhaps the reason I used that expresion is because I see it alot.

[N. Korea Rocket Victory !]

Cool but i have some small things to bitch about..

The way you drew kim jong ill was nicely done and was drawn a lot better than your usual animeish drawing style.

Some of the edges were still a little messy here and there but that extra bit of detail to completely caricature kim jong ill makes it look all the more cool.

But there is one little thing i never really bitched about but i have noticed within your other past works.

Our friendship has stopped me from complaining but i have to tell you the truth because i like seeing be as successful as possible.

you still leave gaps open around your foreground objects, characters, ect after coloring them in.

Small gaps mind you but it is still a flaw in your otherwise great drawings and animations.

I know a lot of pros even make this mistake too but it's a small thing that usually bugs me when i watch flash movies in general.

parts around kim jong ill's glove looked a little messy and you can easily zoom in those parts fill in some more color and also erase those unnecessary lines.

The missiles themselves were colored in fine and free of gaps in the coloring as was the back ground itself.

you applied a nice usage of gradients around the sun glasses lens of kim jong ill's pair of sun glasses.

I like the Korean text and happy music to go with this little loop because it was actually pretty relaxing and made me almost like kim jong ill even he was a dick head.

is this actual text here translated into korean or just random korean letters since most english speaking members of newgrounds won't be able to spot that sort of thing anyways?

Fun little loop but i feel kinda bad for bitching about a few things here and there because were close friends.
