funny

Yeah, ok, the animation may be a bit simple here, but I care more for the jokes and the story, both work just fine for me!

I wouldn't call this genius or brillant, but the current score is a bit to low in my eyes. The entire concept of this flash is amusing, and I have no problem at all with the voice actors.
I hope you will submit more flashes like these to NG!

Not too shabby

The idea for being optimistic when your going to die was a good idea, and the gladiator premise helped set up some nice jokes. Your drawlings weren't too bad either. However, the lack, and to an extent, quality of animation did make a dent in the score, but there wasn't an important need for them in this piece. There were also some historical flaws in it, but they weren't hard to overlook. Well done.

Alright

I was thinking this would be an audio only thing because of the title. It turned out to be better than I thought it would in that respect, which I am glad. The downsides were that there didn't seem to be much here in terms of animation. Everything just seemed so stationary it reminded me of the "Go Animate!" cartoons. I hope I have the will strong enough to never make something like that on this website at least. The jokes weren't too bad.

It was a pretty funny idea to think of optimistic ways to deal with your own beheading. It would be a much better death to die like a gladiator. I think for the most part, a gladiator's life really was like that. Who would volunteer to fight and killed for the amusement of others? I could see where the gladiator was coming because the other guy was getting annoying.
