i read most of the bad reviews...
and wanted to address the issue that people are saying your flash was an overused topic. I just don't see how that should be a point for someone to trash-talk. How many times do people keep making stick figure fight cartoons or nintendo and sonic parodies on this site?!? Just because someone has a different take on a concept or even someone who flat out reanimates something they thought could be better doesn't make them unoriginal or not worth the effort. Jeeze, people just like to trash something when they don't like it and go way to far with the criticism just so they can sound important or credible. Grow up people!
And speaking the effort, here's my two cents on your flash specifically. I liked the mood. You did a good job displaying that. I don't see quite how this was a year's worth of work however...at least not a solid year's worth. But that's okay. I'd like to have seen some backgrounds, as others have said, that were drawn by you. But other than that. It's a decent flick. You should be proud of your work...because its yours. If you weren't proud of it, or take people's opinions to heart...then that should just drive you to make something better by your own standards...I'm done.
