Hey vicious animal!
I think you missed to animate the part when he losses his arm...

I had a note in the comments about this for days, and just took it off today.
He loses him arm LATER when he returns his brother's soul to the world. He only loses his leg as a result of the transmutation.
Almost forgot - try getting a reservation at Dorsia now you fucking stupid bastard!
Are you kiding?

First off, your attitude
___
The only reason you even GOT 3rd place was because poeple liked your video and decided tehy would be nice and rate it. Quit sitting there and gloating while you flame people who try to HELP you. Yes, Your flaming them. I don't care what you say, your either trolling or flaming them.
The LEAST you could do is atleast try to take in some one elses opinion so you can improve. Yeah, there are just plain out trolls that say stupid things. Ignore them, listen to the tips and pointers, and get over yourself. NO ONE is going to watch your videos if you keep treating them like crap when they try to help you.

The video;

Im with CheckeredZebra, the background was nicely done, and you can draw pretty well. ( Better than I can irl, atleast xD) the old joke got me to smile a bit, but afteer that it wasn't too gripping. Your animation is pretty nice, too, although the table seems to move....
6/10 for animation, effort, detail, and for being pretty good for just 4 days work adn onyly two months experience.

But yeah. Quit being such a butt mucnh and listen to people who are trying to help you, or you videos won't get watched or liked.
~Your's truly,
The mad hatter's evil twin
BoobMarley responds:
I guess just read my response to ChekeredZebra beneath this one.
In summary, thanks for the compliments, but where have any suggestions or constructive criticism been for this animation? It's been, "lol, FMA" or "lol, you suck". Not once has anyone suggested trying such-and-such technique, or doing this-instead-of-that. No critiques on this reviews, only people's feelings.
Nonetheless I appreciate you taking the time to watch and review.
Sooo....

About that attitude other people have commented on...
--------------------------
People who officially review movies tend to not make movies themselves, yet they can still be insightful. In fact, it can give you an outside view that, as a "director" you can't notice. Outside opinions can be much more insightful than "inside" opinions. What artists may find amazing, an outside group may see it as trash thrown on a canvas.
In this case, you were trying to be entertaining, and if the outside reviewers don't find it entertaining, you should appreciate that there are some that are telling you how and why it wasn't. Thus, you can improve.
...You know, taking what some of them (the genuine critiques, not the idiots) to heart. Instead of gloating over getting front page.
Seriously, nobody will remember in a year about most front page stuff (minus professional, super amazing stuff like Bitey of Brackenwood.) So enjoy all of this attention. You're getting so many suggestions on how to improve your abilities.
This is an opportunity that other, equally talented artists would kill for. I know I'd love creative tips on my audio portal stuff, yet all I've seen you do is be arrogant to people who didn't give you a high score.
And if other people are unhelpful jerks, screw them. But you don't have to make yourself look just as bad as they are. =l

AS FOR THE MOVIE...
-----------
Liked the art style. Screw people saying you can't draw, I thought the art was well done.
I was also impressed that you did this in only 4 days, and you had good use of music. PS: Nice background attention.
Ending was kind of...eh. I get the whole parody bit, but it just didn't grab my attention. The beginning where they divided by zero is not only an old joke but the humorous effect only lasted around 2 seconds for me; after which I lost most interest in the flash D: So it gets a 6 from me, for effort and detail attention. But minus points for the old joke...it just didn't hold my interest for as long as the flash was.
BoobMarley responds:
There have been no insightful critiques of this movie, or advice or suggestions offered from the reviews that would in anyway be helpful to me. Again, telling me that this or that sucked or was great... really doesn't help. For that reason, I feel that I have in no way been ungracious to the attention this animation has received.
When someone eventually tells me: "This sucked, this is why, this is what you can do instead..." I'll take it to heart. I will openly receive the criticism and suggestions. Otherwise, I'm left with "I liked it, hurrr" and "I didn't like it, hurrr". Am I really going to take to heart what some fourteen year-olds feel? (A: No)
As for your own review - thanks? I appreciate the compliments and the explanations as to why this wasn't perfect for you. Again, I know it's an old bit. That ain't news to me. I am again however, left wanting for meaningful suggestions and critiques. Generic stuff like "make it not boring", "make the animation better", and "don't use old jokes" are things that I am self-aware of as I actually animate, and are not helpful to me in a review.
Thanks most of all though, for not being a mindless asshole who is upset that this animator flames back. If there are any suggestions you can make about this flash, or any other, I don't think I would tune you out.
Ten! FTW!
Im not gonna give any criticism, probably because you wont give two shits out of a rats ass. It was just awesome to see an animation ranting on something awesome. I havent seen an animation with this concept since Dot Dot Dot. Ten for the ranting. I would have given it a one or something, if not for the poking of fun. :P
At first I was like lol math jokes...
then I was like Damn, this fucker did it. He shat something out with no experience, very little skill... and it still won a popularity contest, so he must have about as much skill at a toddler. Shitting something out and being praised for it, good job fine sir. :)
