LightningLion's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[60 Frame Collab 5]

Much better than the last one. Glad I could participate, even with school at the same time.

Zeebra responds:

With that in mind I would like to quote a few words from Adam Phillips "The more you animate, the better you'll get, because improvement is an almost guaranteed side-effect of experience." And even with all your multitasking you are much better than the last one :]

[BLACK SUNSHINE]

The only thing I found a bit racist was the bit at the end where it's another black man that says welfare keeps us alive, and I'm not even complaining. As far as the police brutality, come on, people! It's not racist because you have two white cops whose conduct on black people is completely opposite!

Moving on, I'd say this is a decent animation with a mediocre story made of dried out concepts of stereotypes. It's all been done before...

[60 Frame Collab 4]

Pretty great work guys, I'm glad I could be a part of this. I liked FrostedMonkeyFlakes' clip with the fart pilot the best. Music is pretty good too.

[Toons These Days: Ep. 3]

My favorite one so far

You pretty much nailed every dumb thing about Adventure Time. The way Finn has noodle arms like Gumby (sp?) flapping around, the colors being too bright, the sorry sad sack villains, beating everyone up, etc.

Except now thinking about it you didn't mention the dumb phrases in the show that sound like what preteens think teenagers say, like using 'righteous' all the time, and other stuff I can't even remember now because it's so stupid.

My favorite part was "Why'd that Pikachu just get so big?!"

[Abobo Truth Of Stache]

Nice little short

Though I know nothing about Double Dragon, at least when the guy was interrupted it revealed the answer, and wasn't just another disappointing "I know the answer! It's..." then nothing, kind of ordeal.

RicePirate responds:

is that what it was ?!?!!? OOPPPPPSs :)

[Nyan Caxx]

Trippy

Great representation of how people can get addicted to the stupidest things. The scary part was very theatrical, and right after Caxx got poisoned when the music slowed down reminded me of WarioLand 4 for some reason. Nice ending as well, caught me by surprise but seemed like something I should've expected.
Overall a new favorite in my book, great work guys!

redminus responds:

WTF, there's a Wario Land 4??
And thanks yeah, I wasn't kidding when I said this was based on a true story. Well I was kind of kidding actually maybe

[Pokemon Bash]

Pretty good

Not the MOST interesting joke but it was still good. I like the backgrounds and the characters were drawn pretty good too. I do have a few suggestions though:
Lip sync Sudowoodo's mouth while it shows the picture of his family.
Make Dawn's derp face more epic the second time it shows up and not the same exact face.
Make the pokeball so the shadow and highlight don't end up in the wrong place after the ball flips.
Shade Sudowoodo while he says the 'sick person' line because he was shaded the rest of the time.

I don't understand why every single review other than Spazkid was marked as useless. He must have an army of peons to mark anything that disagrees with him as such.

OnionsXD responds:

He does have an army of peons to pretty much blam and rate useless everything I make. I have no idea why they do it. They must have no lives.

and about your suggestions. I actually had thought of doing all of those. But by the time I was finished with the animation I was sick of the joke and just wanted to be done with it. XD
For the future though, i'll bite the bullet and work out kinks like that.
Thanks for the review! :D

[My Own Sprites...kind Of.]

Hmm. interesting

At first I was like 'how I made sprites? that's stupid' thinking like video game pixels, but then I was reassured. Very fluent motion and cool effects. Maybe you should add some simple shading to make them more dynamic. Also that one 'sprite' where he punched and left his arm extended after knocking back sandbag, his punching arm seems to be too high. Other than that, this has a pretty good style.
Also a flying kick would be cool so he doesn't have to stop after running toward his target.

TheGreeNate responds:

thanx for the review. Yeah I do need to shade these, I also need to give him some more attacks, but I can't make him seem overpowered LOL! I'm gonna add some enemies over the weekend. I also need to add more effects as well, hit sparks, block effects etc.

[games vs. internet]

Sound quality...

The voices were much too low (oops, didn't see your description till just now) and I wouldn't suggest telling us to turn the volume up when there's sudden smacking noises that are much louder. Try normalizing your voice recordings after recording. Also I couldn't tell what he said at the very end (even with sound up).
That music doesn't sound like he's playing games either...

guitan11 responds:

yeah, like i said. i made this just so that i could test out the mic. thanks for the feedback.... and at the end? he said "facebook!!"
