Reviews for Generic Protagonist #1

[athehun11]

Ok...

The protagonist wasn't that generic, he was just random. That's the opposite of generic. Plus, with a name like "Generic Protagonist #1," you'd think the focus would be on the main protagonist and not the purposely nonsensical story. I don't know if these contradictions were what you were going for or not.

Honestly, going by the name and description, I was expecting a parody of generic protagonists by having one fail at contrived actions in a not-so-contrived world. You almost had that with the Scooby Doo bit, but the protagonist pulled out a gun, which is quite the opposite of what a generic protagonist would have done. Wouldn't it have been more effective had the cupcake pulled out the gun in the chase scene? That would have illustrated even more how generic the protagonist was, and how being generic didn't work in his situation.

If you were going for a parody, then it is a failed attempt. If you were just trolling by making the opposite of whatever expectations would have been...then I guess the joke's on me. The flash still wasn't entertaining either way, which is the most important thing in the end.

Well, the name was just a shortened version of the full title, if you had read the description you would have known that.

And Generic Protagonist is his name, he is anything but generic, really.

I want the time it took to watch this back.

That was god awful. The animation was horrible, the "comedy" wasn't funny, and the forced "randomness" was just annoying.

As far as any constructive criticism... be more funny?

drodZILiA responds:

That was horrible constructive criticism.

why?

Why is this on the front page? This is terrible. Just throwing a bunch of memes into a flash does not make it good. I feel like it has been a slow week, this is the 7th or 8th terrible flash on the front page recently. ok, now on the to review. The animation, was god awful, if you want the meme faces to have greater impact you need to have smoother animation in general. If you just keep doing terrible animation with terrible faces, they don't pop out and they just look bad. I can tell you are from cough cough ebaumsworld cough but come on, as a long time lurker I can tell you, that stuff belongs there, not here, there is a reason that site is not openly discussed, because it is supposed to try and be kept secret, so don't branch it out. The voice acting was god awful, whoever you have doing the narration needs to hit puberty, also get some variation in the voices, it is wayyy to long to not have variation. The randomness is way over done, while some part was kind of funny, over all this just looks like it was made to feed the trolls, something for them to munch on until kanye west makes himself look like an ass again. I don't know, it was original, but you need to have a more concrete foundation for truly epic flashes. Just look at the great newground's flashes, the whole "Dad" series for example, is completely random, but they followed some semblance of a story line.

Over all my advice is, smoother animation, invest in some better sound recording gear, and have a better story line. Will be looking for more from you.

drodZILiA responds:

I'm not from eBaums, dude.

And also, the "Dad" series is much more random than this, at least this has a storyline, that is about a dad who comes home and does stupid crap and then plays a guitar.

Makes total sense.

Right, let me get my bearings. ok, I'm good. This was by far the worst piece of crap I have ever laid eyes on. The animation was crap and the voice acting was an abortion. As for the plot I'm guessing you sort of just kept drawing in hopes it would lead to some nugget of gold buried in that brown mess inside your head, it didn't. It didn't even have the sweet sweet mercy of quick death. It dragged on frame after agonising frame of what I can only assume was meant to be random humor but came off as complete arse gravy. If I could undo what I had seen I would but unfourtunately I will bear the mental scars for all time... but aside from that it was great.

drodZILiA responds:

Harsh.

Huh.
