dafuq is up with that last comment? anyway, i thought it was funny, but the animating could use a little work. voices were great though, so i'll give it a 4......
guitan11 responds:
really? i have suck an extreme contrast between people that loved the voices and others who really disliked them.
how could i have made the animating better?
Stickman CAN'T Fight is the antithesis of countless stickman movies, in which there is a central conflict aside of survival and a parody, or hook, that makes for an interesting watch.
The central premise is that there is a stick figure who willfully refuses to engage in bloody combat with anybody and has the uncanny ability to survive countless gallons of punishment, even from those who have taken it upon themselves to nurture his development as a warrior, or indoctrinate him into becoming just another stick figure plunged in a Newgrounds Flash.
While not the most fluid or visually engaging feature--though close-ups of the sticks between their frame-by-frame brawls provide a good departure from most authors' stick figure beat-em-ups--it relies on slapstick, buffoonery, casting the poor wretch as a whipping boy plunged into a setting where he must evolve or die. Or, does the world have to evolve? Goofiness aside, I got something else out of this series and it is this: if Stickman can't fight, it might be because he won't. There's a difference. Perhaps this wimp is actually a pacifist at heart, or perhaps someone who finds no reason to fight, someone who recognizes the futility and banality of his world as nothing worth fighting for, including himself even, being the whipping boy.
The only thing I could advise guitan11 about is that his tale should have a reasonably complex ending, which explores the reasons behind this useless Stickman's lack of motivation. Will he ever learn to fight? Will he reject this tutoring and refuse to participate in this frankly coarse world he is subjected to?
You can also observe the "Black" character as someone unbreakable by his sheer stubbornness. He isn't stupid, just overwhelmed by what goes on around him. Everybody accepts it at face value and takes it for granted, but he probably feels no compulsion to join in. By his refusal, he becomes both tragic and heroic at the same time.
Unfortunately, there hasn't been a clear message from the author outside of watching a guy foul up repeatedly when learning how to fight. After at least seven entries into the series (unless previous episodes were broken up as well), "Stickman Can't Fight" should have some kind of message or resolution dawning by now. If there are no further developments to the characters in the seventh episode, it is fair to assume the author has run short on ideas and is running this gag into the ground. It would suck, considering the premise is novel and should receive a solid execution.
"Stickman Can't Fight" could be above the fart jokes and visual gags the series exemplifies thus far. The spotty dialogue should also be amended, which includes the balloons paraded over characters' heads. We patiently await Episode 7 to prove me wrong that this cartoon series is becoming nothing more than the sum of its flaws.
guitan11 responds:
this is quite the review. i have never had anyone take these animations this way.
like any art form, it allows the viewer to give it its own interpretation or meaning. i do have a purpose of making this and a goal. but what you get out of it is entirely up to you bro. as long as it makes you laugh, think what you want :P
epic-ly awsome i dont think ive laughed that hard though a newgrounds video in ages XD keep it up,
guitan11 responds:
that says a lot! thank you very much :D
