a painfully generic stickfight
This was kinda cool and i noticed a shit loads of effort but i will have to subtract points because this is like a lot of other stick figure fights with a highly unoriginal look to it.
They all look the same and none do anything much else to stand out above each other.
Why can't you do something simple like drawing faces on your sticks to standout above the other literary faceless stickfights?
You put all this time and effort into making a cool as possible of a stick fight and adding facial expressions on your stickmen while might not seem important but why put so much effort into complex things while overlooking simple things like that?
a complex drawing is nothing more than combined simple drawings to make up a certain style or whatever.
If you watch other stickfights often other animators overlook simple details such as a facial expressions but you honestly don't need to blend in with the crowded market of stick fight movies.
Go beyond the typical newgrounders expectations of the whole stick fight genre and you will notice that you will have influence over future stick fight movies due to your own creativity.
Right now you could be a leader instead of a sheep that happened to make a generic stick movie that won a few awards.
There are still however things i liked about this stick fight such as the fact you created your own characters rather than making your sticks the green guy and the blue guy that have no names of there own.
You gave them names and there own weapons but character development was somewhat lacking.
The character development or your characters was lacking but it was a quick fight scene for the sake of distraction so there isn't much to complain about here.
I like the use of unconventional weapons because it shows more imagination than hand to hand, swords or guns.
having one stick use a yo yo to fight another stick brandishing a sword shows signs some imagination.
No much to say about in the terms of storyline for a quick fight scene it has a start, middle and climax much like any other story.
You got somewhat of a loose narrative in there so maybe tighten that narrative up a little bit to explain what started the conflict between the two sticks and so on.
it can even be a crappy story but even the worst of action movies have better stories than hey i don't like you lets fight.
but most of us don't expect much in the way of narrative of either stick fight movies or action movies in general.
You can take or leave my advice but i hope you take it because than you'll make an equally successful movie and have a lot less people bitching about how overrated your next movie is.
Sorry for being so harsh on you but seeing this movie gives me the feeling that you are destined for better things.
