Whew. So, after months of character design, recording, animating, and flat-out procrastinating, I've finally managed to crank out this Goddamned cartoon. I don't know how well this is going to be received, but I personally think that it's pretty funny, I put a lot of effort into it, and I had a lot of fun making it. This is, as the title cunningly hints at, the first episode of a series I'm putting together. The way I'm writing this series, however, is so that each episode has a completely different tone as all the other episodes. I'm doing this partly as an experiment, and partly just to keep myself from getting bored with the series. Now, one other thing you should know is that there are actually two versions of this animation. In addition to the color version you see here, I also made a version where every color is red (in kind of a tribute/rip-off of Michael Swain's Mastermind series.) I personally prefer this version, as it's much more stylized then the regular color pallet, but nobody I show it too actually likes it, so I decided to hedge my bets and upload it on YouTube. You can find it here: (http://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=t8XLqeDt0OU) (You'll have to remove the space in the middle of the URL, of course.) So, watch both versions, and tell me in the comments which one you think is the best. Whichever style gets the most votes is the one that I'll use for the rest of the episodes.
Alright, so that's pretty much all I have to say about this.
Enjoy!

good animation but...
i didnt laugh once! i gota say it just wasnt funny, the jokes were predictable and the bits that were funny were ruined by the monotone voices of all the characters, it worked with the lord of all evil coz it added to his character but for eveyone else it sent me to sleep. loved the detail that went into it like the photos but u ota work on your comedy dude! your ideas are good but the punchline was coming a mile off! keep it up tho love the style!

Good work, but voice acting.
I love all the backgrounds and little photos and everything, I see you went and put in extras for laughs and it's pretty funny,
BUT
It's very monotone through the movie,
and when that happens halfway through, you tend to think why am i watching this (like i could be doing something productive)or ok, so...
With the Voice acting try to add more life and not like you were just talking in a mic.
It's not horrible or bad, it just could've loads funnier with a tad more exaggerated lines and what not with pauses, tone change, and all that good stuff.
And the writing is funny without a doubt, but they dont sell over with the VA.
And i stress this the most on the News anchors and Supervillian at the beginning i dunno what they are feeling if they are surprised, sarcastic, scared i dunno..
And i was really wanting to laugh at the villain but the VA was just dull. Maybe give him more life and be more cartoonish villain, maybe with a semi-english pompous accent or something i dunno. Just more life.
That is all.
Great job though 7/5 just to help you out.
