Alter-native's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Knowledge is power]

I like the bit of symbolism here idea like with the fact that deity guy looks like an owl, a symbol of wisedom in Ancient Egypt. Also the scene where he offers an apple is reminiscent of the passage in the book of Genesis where the snake offering Eve the fruit from the tree of knowledge, except in a more positive light of course. Funny how Athenos leaves the people he protected behind with all the foundations for civilization, they'll just have to learn how to use what was given to them. I wonder how the people he left behind will be able to decipher an decrypt the words in the book. Perhaps the words in the book are little symbols like hieroglyphics?

[Worst Game Trailer Ever]

I hope this isn't going to be the Wost "Game" Ever.

The environment looks fine and passable except for three details. One would be the rocks around the fire, which look too round and need to be jagged like rocks. The other problem is the lack of shading on the snowy grounds and the grassy patch. Final detail that needs work is the character model, which looks like messy patches of undefined color pallet blobs coming together. His animation is also a little glitchy what with his eyes disappearing. His concept is okay, an old warrior, but he needs better rendering.

TytanTroll responds:

Thanks for the crits mate, i know it was a bit sloppy all around but i only just started getting used to motion tweening towards the deadline. Ill try and work on it some more and up everyones opinion of it some more

[My Little Sky Craft]

Was This Flash Getting Whistled For Hateful Or Something?

I notice this flash has been lingering on the the under judgement section, and whenever I click on it, I am redirected to an error page, something that usually happens for whistled entries.

While I must applaud people for being alert, but I think they are mistaken with this entry as I do not believe the author was insensitively targeting those afflicted autistic and Aspergers, he was targeting unoriginality and lazyness.

Just to be clear, I am certain that this short is not meaning to make fun of people with aspergers or put them down. I find it to be satire of all the Skyrim, MLP: FIM, and Minecraft flashes that I see on the front page every single day I login. These flashes tend to make the same "arrow to the knee"/"I'm a 30 year old male and I ironically enjoy this show"/"CREEPERS!!!" jokes over and over. We get it, they're awesome games and properties with massive appeal, we know.

A lot of fans of these properties, especially with the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise, have gained infamy as they claim to have Asperger's and they defend their lazily written fanfiction by using their Asperger's as crutch, and it gives people with Asperger's syndrome a bad name in process. It is that aspect that I think the author was specifically attacking.

This flash gave me a good chuckle. I thought it was okay

Croire responds:

No I just had a problem uploading it with the original project I started so I had to make a new project. Just weird technical issues.

[How Newgrounds Functions]

A true classic.

I could watch this forever and ever.

I'm watch it all the time even when I'm not actually watching it.

[Jukes&Pogo: Violent Night]

Pretty Decent For A First Submission.

The art and animation is very cartoony and the dialogue is funny. I also like how you implement music from The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening in your little twisted Christmas story featuring this clownish comic duo. However, there is one big little flaw in your flash that ruins the sequence. The sound is not quite synched, you might want to go back and fix that.

ZizzyB23 responds:

Thanks for the review. A lot of people are saying the audio's off, and doing a little testing I see that if I click away from the page and come back it will be off. Unfortunately I don't know how to make it so that's not a problem. If you have any ideas I'd be very thankful to hear them.

[Mario and Yoshi: the Rant]

Yoshi Is Fed Up.

I thought this was pretty decent. The animation while a little rough, was cute and a visible effort was put into the movements of the characters, a contrast to a lot of the stiff stuff I usually see.

My only gripe with this little parody is that I would like to see more, like Yoshi actually riding Mario and punching him in the neck to see how he likes that.

There's also more material to bring up. Like the fact that some times you have to dump Yoshi when jumping over a pit to reach a secret area that is out of your reach. Yoshi could that up.

[Open Letter to Game Devs]

Egoraptor Proposes to Game Devs

I like how this short parodies web critics and personalities who think because of their popularity, they have the authority to propose ideas to their favored game companies. Not only that, but there's a few good jabs at the companies to whom you are proposing. The ideas you propose in this short are just so bad they're good "Glowy Light Wars," knowing me, I know I'd be a fan of that! Regarding the "Final Installment" for Square Enix, for those not in the know, "Final Fantasy" for the NES was allegedly going to be Square's last game as the company was on the verge of closing out. Since the game did so well, they made a sequel that was a spiritual sequel, and another sequel in name only after that one! Then it became Square flagship series! Square really should make a "Final Installment" because that really rake in millions! As usual, the animation was the typical Egorapter high quality I came to expect.

[Mortal Kouple]

ANDY WINS!

MISOGYNISTICALITY!

AJennyPenny responds:

Coincidentally, after posting this animation, I got back to the kitchen. Where I belong.

[The Journey of Remorse]

Lotus.

This short pretty well crafted, een if the animation can be a little questionable sometimes(smooth tweening, but sometimes the base of the guy's neck shifts around unnaturally). If there is one thing that is important in a person's moral development, it is remorse, because it is the only thing we have that will let us realize what jerks we have been. Some people don't have remorse sadly.

Vleric responds:

Glad you liked it! Animation is what we're going to focus on, and improve in future, just need more practice, so keep in touch!

Anyways, thank you for the nice review, and yes ... it is sad ...

[The Shoryuken Loop]

Heh Heh... "Sure You Can" Luigi...

Seeing how Mario is always getting him the shaft and never recognizes his capabilities, it's easy to understand why Luigi is so upset with himself since he has quite the inferiority complex. Luigi needs to stop hitting himself, stand up to his brother, and say "Ey! I may not have as gooduva inertia as a you, but I can a jump a so higher than and it makes for one a mean, green uppercut so [i]letsa go together.[i]

... And maybe Mario would then not reject his own brother for a goomba. Maybe.
