Only thing that I didnt like, was that you clearly showed that this is parody. Good that you didnt mess up with that too much, the voice acting and animation were really serious and dramatic, as it should be, but when you wrote that "palsma rifle :D" (among other things) It kind of kills the feeling. Im quite sure that this story became popular because it sounded so serious and dramatic, and believing that the artist wrote this with serious intentions is the sole essence of this piece of art! I would prefer to leave it to be as pure as possible, and not give in to temptation of making it funnier at the cost of its "essence" :P
Would be nice if some people accidentally would believe this to be drama, just to realize on the second time it to be parody... I can almost see what their faces look like when they make the discovery!
Overall the flash was very good and entertaining, and i especially liked the music and the still image at the end. Nothing to nag about there ^^
Right on, I get what you're saying. The tone was inconsistent.
I agree, despite the shitty, shitty story, it might have been more powerful if I, like the original author, tried to express it in a serious tone. As I was thinking up the visual gags, I was under the impression that there was no way anyone could take this story seriously, so I had fun shoving visual gags here, there, and everywhere. But I guess sometimes all the comedy you'll need is found in the ridiculousness of how absurd situations are being taken seriously, like in the movie Airplane or Dodgeball.
Very good point, and I thank you for the great review. Glad you enjoyed it!
This is among the shittiest reviews I have ever read...and bravo for accomplishing that with such simplicity.
This ain't youtube, so I can't up vote your comment bro. This is a comment trying to pose as a review, and it's not helpful in the slightest.
Apparently you're confused, when everything I could've explained to you was either in the author's comments DIRECTLY ABOVE THE BUTTON YOU CLICKED TO REVIEW THIS, or more answers could be found in the link at the end. But noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooo...speaking your mind apparently consisted of six dots and two words. And I'll forget about the apostrophe because that's not a suitable replacement for the word "what."
...Get it? Because it's supposed to be "what the hell"...I'm going to over-explain these things since you seem to have difficulties grasping easily accessible information. It's not like you're on the internet or anything.
It's CERTAINLY not like this is a review. Why'd you give it an 8? Fuck if I know. If the only thing I had to say was "...'the hell" I probably didn't like it. Yet you gave it a number that implies it was okay. I don't know what about this animation you thought was okay, because you didn't specify. For all I know, the 8 was because you felt obligated to vote high on anything even vaguely referencing "Doom" because "The Rock Dwayne Johnson is a great actor and that was the best video game movie ever made, it was just SO well doneBALLS BALLS AND BALLS!!!" ....Sorry, I convulsed into a fit of rage because even I can't lie about that...
I don't even know what I could've done to wrench a 10 outta your vague ass, because you didn't specify what deducted from the two points.
What I've been saying, and what I'm TRYING to say in this Star Destroyer of a response compared to your TIE-Fighter, is that in no way, shape, or form is this comment useful to me at all. I'm purposefully wasting my time ragging on you for the sole-purpose of NERD-RAGING you into typing better, more well thought out reviews for the next thing you decide could use your INSIGHTFUL PERSPECTIVE. Like the wonderful baby-sitter I am, I will THROTTLE YOU LIKE A MAGIC EIGHT BALL until I get what I want out of you.
...I hope you've learned something. Thanks for the review! :D
So I found the fanfic written by peter chimaera and the ASTOUNDING thing is that the narration of THIS VIDEO is NOT EVEN ABRIDGED! That's all there is to it! Here's the link to what I found:
How can something like that even be called a fanfiction? The whole thing is only 1 kilobyte! I type faster than most people usually talk so 1 kilobyte is about a minute worth of typing to me (and that's why I usually end up yapping on and on in my reviews and they get so easily to be 1000 or 2000 characters long), so it just seems amazing to me at least that anyone would bother putting something like that up, that ought to take so little effort. Although in some ways it's even funnier than this video. For instance, Dad said "No! You will BE KILL BY DEMONS", and when I saw this video I thought he at least said "killed", but no, he said kill; in other words, seeing the original text leaves no opportunity to miss any of the atrocious mistakes. Of course that particular simple sentence doesn't hold a candle to the hilarious Ren-And-Stimpy style animation of the father flipping out to deliver the message. I guess that is why they say when you TYPE IN ALL CAPS THAT YOU ARE YELLING. (When I type in all caps however, I feel more like I'm talking like Strong Mad, just being loud but not really yelling, but the author of this video apparently imagines a stronger emphasis to capital letters).
Love what you did - If only there was time for making such videos from all the crap fanfics bouncing around the interweb... and if only I could get the money/balls to buy/pirate flash.
Ahhh but there is! Thousands of aspiring flash animators struggling to find a good source material to practice on, not caring if they'll fuck up the story if they make mistakes on the way.
HINT. HINT. (...Not specifically to you, but anyone this could be applying to.)
Besides, I'm hoping this is the worst story I ever animate. I'm saying that in this review now to totally embarrass myself if, at any point in the future, I accidentally animate something shittier than this.
