I agree but...

is the nose growing from his face when the lyrics go "he is a deeply flawed man" some kind of jew reference? I hope not. Don't even know if the guy is jewish... meh..

altffour responds:

No, it isn't a jewish thing, noses are just heavily associated with beauty in my mind I guess, I don't know. It has nothing to do with any race or religion.

[Super Mario: Toads Rage 6]

cool

Overall opinion:
looking good
Contstructive criticism:
animation could use some more speed, maybe try working at a higher frame rate? Try to smoothe out the re-using of graphics a little more, it jumped out when they where suddenly both up and standing just like before.
The difference in graphic quality in your movie is a little too big.
Maybe you could use some more effects, try fading in some white flashes? Oh and animated blood splashes would be cool =P
The concept of Toad being the hero and Mario and Luigi being a pair of.. well fags, is just plain funny to me... maybe some people dont get the humor because your graphics look pretty siriouse, but fuck them dont change that your drawing style kicks ass.

Keep it up,
Marcus

mchawking responds:

Thanks Marcus... I'm working on the framerate thing.. it's more work but it definately looks better. Also about when they were both up there was another scene on the mountain in between with luigi and mario "IS HE DEAD?... NO LOOK THEY'RE MOVING" but in order to get it to stick with the music I had to take it out.

Thanks for your review man,

[Goku SSJ for 1st time]

dude wtf

you just copied a scene from DBZ.. your drawings look nice, I'd say you have the skill/talent but for gods sake do something original with it!

Barry-the-SuperScot responds:

Oh, I copied a scene from DBZ? You know what! I never realised! I thought this was completely original! I even said in my AUTHOR'S COMMENTS that it was a copy to make sure everyone KNEW that it was original!

But enough of the sarcasm.

It's a tribute, it may be a "copy" but I never denied it was a copy. I openly admitted in my author's comments it was a copy, you must not have read them, eh?
At least I didn't trace a video file, now if I did that, it would be a reason to rate lower, but now, you haven't got that reason.

You gave a 0 overall, why? Did I not put any effort whatsoever into my flash? No. I actually put a lot of effort into it, so your 0 is VOID.

And I'm using my skill and talent to make ANOTHER tribute to the show which is the first time Vegeta goes SSJ! And it will be the same as the show, but it won't deserve a 0, ooh no.

Now begone, fool!

meh

its a funny idea but it got boring, it needs more tricks, not just jumping off shit and walking funny.

Masta-GrassHoppa responds:

haha yeah . we might make part 3

[Tweening at its Finest]

ok this could be helpful to some

but I think true noobs could have a hard time following your explanations, because your visual support was kinda minimal,
some tips if you truely want this to work:

1. use visuals from flash (just hit printscreen on your keyboard and then import it into flash)
2. animate a mouse that will follow every step you explain
3. There was a little dot following a line which represented the progress of the audio, it would be handy if you could drag it around to skip to variouse points, to repeat certain parts perhaps.

I think with these ajustments you would have a very decent introduction to tweening that could be helpful to a lot of people.

luminousnerd responds:

okay but that would take at least 5-6 hours at absolute MINIMUM. so I won't animate the mouse. If I figure out how I might make the progress bar draggable.

[AngryIceSkaters]

hmm

Te clip is funny as hell but this is not really what NG is for, its not a funny video site, what matters here is your own work, which is very minimal here and doesnt add any value.
The least you could have done not to get this blammed is to make a funny voice over..
conclusion: BLAM

AubergineLock responds:

You cannot BLAM it now, its already passed Judgement.

[How-Many-Men have to die?]

ok here we go

The message I got from this flash is that invading Iraq was a stupid plan, and that George Bush is to blaim.. I agree with that, but I dont agree with some of the things you say in your comments and at the end of the movie.
I agree that the US troops deserve respect, as individuals, because they have the courage to risk their life for whatever they believe is right.
But I dont respect everything they do, like rape, killing helpless wounded enemies, torturing innocent people and so on.
I think these things should be covered by the media, even if it makes it harder for the troops, because its the truth, and if the media wouldn't be able to uncover the truth, it would be nothing more than a military propaganda machine.
What I think that they are doing wrong is focusing on the soldiers that did this, instead of WHY they did it. What happened is not the fault of the soldiers that did it, but of the people that made it happen. These soldiers where ORDERED to "soften the prisoners up" before interrogation, these methods where approved by Donald Rumsfeld and thought up by the CIA. But instead of Looking for more, these soldiers are made the black sheep, they are dragged to court marsial for things they where told where OK to do.
I think the big problem with this war is the attitude with which the Bush administration is waging it.
They dont care about the troops, they dont care about the Iraquee people, all they care about is giving exclusive rights to drill for oil to American oil companies.
the US troops arent getting killed protecting
our asses, Saddam was not a threat to us.
They are getting killed fighting a war to secure 90% of the worlds oil reserves for the Bushes, and their friends companies.
I'm not saying that the people that are out there, fighting, dont deserve respect.
All I'm saying is this war shouldnt be going on in the first place.

DrPlaid responds:

Great response. You are right, somebody else pointed that out to that showing what these soldiers did is necessary. I agree with that now. Even though it makes our good soldiers look bad. I you gring up a good point. These soldiers are going to pay for what they did. But, what about the others. Thats just the way it goes. The others will not be exposed and these soldiers will just have to deal.
