I loved it.
It was refreshing to see something different. Justmeanddee doesn't know what he's talking about. the poetry is great, and he's just mad that he couldn't possibly do better.
All my 10.
Reviews for "An Unfortunate Corpse"
Alrighty
There were some pros and cons.
Pros: Good work on the poetry. I liked the visualization of the creepy character walking while reading the story. Spooky and exciting to read.
Cons: Animation:Poetry Ratio. Lag/Slow Feeling as Text scrolled.
I can't tell whether to grade on poetry, animation, or overall effectiveness.
I'm sorry if I grade low since I expected a little more watching than reading. I guess I wasn't in a reading mood.
Nice!
JustMeAndDee , I have no knowledge of poetry but who also said that everything in NewGrounds must be the best thing you ever saw . People here also animate simple but enjoyable things and I think that your judgment was too harsh . But yes , this animation was ok but not more but thats .. Ok! And ( Again) I did feel strange watching this - I didnt fully understand this flash nor did I feel too intrested ( But thats just me ) so Im just saying that this poem combined with flash animation maybe was unfitting. Well any who , " Not bad , Infact I like " seems as a fitting rank :D. To the author : Congratz , the animation was cool but for some reason slow.
DOOD
this was grate i gess it was a lil sad but dethe is esy (just swallow LODES of sleeping pills) then dream land awaits
p.s justmeanddee DONT BE A SMART ASS its juts flash dood
Imperfect, a bore
For those of you claiming that this is good poetry, you really need to diversify your selection of literature. The word choices are trite, the rhythm of the dialog is awkward, and the pacing is too slow. If this be beauty, I'd hate to see ugly.
Moreover, I think we need to ask the broader question of whether or not poetry fits in animation in general. People want to view animation to see, well, animation. Newgrounds is an animation/gaming site, with some emo and expressive works within it, and that is great. However, it is not a repository for online book reading, which is essentially what the author gave to us in this animation, an online book.
Furthermore, IMHO, poetry is overrated anyway. I think many people come to a site like this to escape the ho-hum of the written word. I won't say to the author to never try anything like this again, but he should expect that it might result in a similar kind of reaction on Newgrounds, and he should expect that.
Finally, whereas I never have trouble with Newgrounds animations on my computer, this one suffered significant slowdown. Since it was just a scrolling image/text, I'm really stymied as to how that could happen.
