All of you were okay.
Pretty much average animation, and could use some practice.
But Zunder, holy crap. Your part was mesmorizing, I absolutely loved it, you should make a tribute.
Reviews for "Madness Diverse"
Diverse...
No, they aren't diverse. Look, I'll give you the fact that not every part was just going into a room and slaughtering a million of brain dead guards, but nothing is very diverse beyond that.
Basically, everything has been done before.
Madness Termination, by Jonbro, has done the egg thing before, as an example.
Guards falling down the cliff is something that has been done since the release of madness 7, such as parodies as of what happened between 6 and 7.
PimpinJ's Wraith, although not done, has pulled off the idea of a ninja, or invisibility and deception.
Zunder's animations were the best, in terms of animation, but it was the run of the mill slaughter.
Fireexit's, isn't diverse, nor sundown, just because you can add colors and to an extent, your own sprites, doesn't diverse anything but the art style, and only slightly. Both of their parts still had the run of the mill killing yet again.
Just because you can make the killing happen in a different way, doesn't make it diverse. Making it diverse would be completely rewiring how madness is made.
Good example, Littleluckylink's "of the madness" series. The fact that he can introduce a plot, and characters with emotions and sincerity between one another, and present this cinematically with less intent on the mindless violence, puts him at a higher level beyond most madness animators.
Redness series, by Alpha-Nuva, focuses HEAVILY on story and cinematics, it adds the idea of more serious voice acting, the characters and their backstories, and only uses killing solely as part of the idea of it being inspired by mob and mafia activity.
Lollyland, by DJTrickyM, is how you diverse something, how you tried in this collab. It's got it's own weird art style to it, with the fighting and killing focusing less on mass brutality, but on a series of "bosses" you could say, which are taken down through improvised means, with limited weaponry, and with the enemies actually FIGHTING BACK. Yes, fighting, as in actually doing harm to the protagonist, and actively engaging him, not firing a gun and missing completely, or just surrendering and getting killed easily. Lollyland shines in it's creativity contorted into the original core essence of madness animations.
In short, Madness may be called madness, but it sure as hell deserves so much more than how everyone animates it. You need to bring something completely new to the table, and take the necessary time to do it just right.
Try hard enough, and you can truly make something diverse, even within the limitations of madness.

okay it wasn't completely diverse but in this collab nobody used the same old madness characters like tricky, jebus and hank. So this was different from all the other collabs
woot
I have been waiting for this collab to be released for a few weeks now and it was worth it!!! cooldude is awesome and xxblinx has improved so much from his first flash. I hope madness diverse 2 comes out. But you shouldn't let fireexit in madness diverse 2 because his part was about 4 seconds :(
And Dast0so should get of newgrounds because his stuff sucks
Uhh
Same old, Same old. How boring....
No shit, Dast has spam animations.
As if spam animations were even meant to be taken seriously as movies. As if they even had effort put into them at all.
I don't even really want to review this. I never did. I watched it one time and made jokes to friends about how the name of the collab, "Madness Diverse" was a complete lie.
It's not diverse at all. It's the same shit we've seen over and over again really. The only thing that makes it even slightly diverse is the use of different characters that MIGHT have possibly been drawn by the people who actually made the movies :O :O :O :O
no but really. Not diverse at all. I stopped caring about the quality of madness animations long ago, now, after thousands of madness animations, the only thing that makes them good is originality, and this is what this severely lacks.
Also you lied to me, with the title, so minus even more points.
you guys have the skill, but maybe if you put a little creativity or imagination into it, it might actually be "diverse"
XXBlinx responds:
i see what you mean but some of the parts in this collab were "diverse". Both of missingusernames parts were diverse, my second part was diverse, both of xroadkillx parts were diverse and oneegg's part was diverse. So you cant say the collab wasn't diverse
