MetalSlayer69's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[EOFS - Beach City (Promo)]

there's often only one character shown at a time, which makes it hard to remember how many characters are in the scene, and sometimes makes conversations harder to follow than they should be

I thought the girl with blue hair was a boy, seeing as you drew all the girls with fucking massive badoinkadoinks. The character designs in general are all too similar to eachother

I liked the bit where blue hair girl explodes the littering guy in the ocean, overall I like the visual jokes a lot more than the dialogue ones, I also like shaking the blood off at 12:14, and most of the other visual jokes I can't be fucked finding the timestamps

the animation is pretty limited, I get that the show (or at least this episode) is carried by its writing, but still, having the characters change expression more (like at 4:57) would be better. Even better would be having the characters change expressions and move their facial features around more while talking, which would allow you to place more emphasis on certain words

I like the background jokes, such as the impaled guy at 3:19

the pacing and structure of this episode is kinda weird, I didn't know it was meant to be a magical girl parody thing until blue hair girl started throwing out fireballs. I also don't get the part at the start with the woman arguing about having her dog on the beach. Like it doesn't really work into the larger episode where the main conflict is the guy in the mech suit. If she came back later in the episode in some way she would at least serve some purpose. Same sort fo thing with the mob of communists, they just get nuked and that's it, then the cops show up, then they fuck off, there's a lot of shit that happens but doesn't contribute to anything. I imagine this problem is probably worse in the 51 min extended version, I might watch that if I'm drunk or high or something

my overall criticism is that the jokes are funny, but not frequent enough, the character animation could be way better, and too much shit that doesn't contribute to the plot makes the runtime way longer than it really needs to be

PS you're allowed to draw tits on newgrounds

TheMiamiDeSantos responds:

yo, yeah, it's one of the experimental features i did talk about, it's one of the gimmicks the episodes being very long (kinda like naruto having a lot of fillers and 5 minutes on dragon ball being very long), but it's surely not giving good results (at least on those first months of my career) i will be aiming for shorter and more animated episodes like the super trouble 7 min ep.
I surely gotta improve the writing, less of mindless stuff and more interesting visual features

[Sink man]

I liked the part where Sink Man said "it's sinkin' time!" then sinked all over the place

[General BBS Sketch Collab Shitpost 2022]

as I was watching this movie, my balls spontaneously combusted, leaving me in quite a worrisome predicament

PreciousCherub responds:

glad we made you laugh and....did that lol

[My Darling, Continue...]

excellent work, I feel like a lot of animators wouldn't be able to pull off a movie that's mostly just 2 characters talking, but you've managed to inject so much character into your chraracters just by the subtle movements they make, and you're lip syncing skills are at a really high level

only complaint is I think the film grain filter thing is tacky, but not really a nig deal

looking forward to seeing your art get even better

D-Liu responds:

Thanks a lot for taking the time to watch and write such a sincere review, it really means a lot!

[The Very Good (Very Quality) Video-Viewing Machine]

this is a very good video, and that is my opinion and my opinion alone, Max Johnson is not making me vote 5 stars at gunpoint

MaxJohnsonINK responds:

Aw, that’s so kind of you to say completely unprompted and independently like that! Your own very-quality opinions sure are yours to make by yourself, and how kind and exactly on script they are, indeed!

[No. 1 Red Lake]

has some decent moments of animation, overall needs more inbetweens in a lot of places, I would reccomend watching the Alan Becker animation tutorials

thenewkid007 responds:

i have watched some those tutorials
i was just lazy and used one smear frame for each thing

[Jimmy's Big ol' Birthday]

pretty funny, only rating two starts because length + earrape

ChrisnOut responds:

What about the length specifically? Too long or too short?

[Suburbroz]

I like the mixed media stuff and it's very creative, but you don't really have anything "normal" that happens to contrast against the wacky crazy shit, also there isn't really any reason for the plot events to happen, they just kinda do. Like there's no reason given for why the guy gets pissed at his own doorbell being rung for example.

jagodynski responds:

i get what ur saying but I feel like the first minute or so is played pretty straight until they get to the neighbors house. I was trying to imply that he is a really angry, bitter person who wouldnt want to be bothered like AT ALL. If I had more time I probably wouldve really exaggerated the way his homelife is more. I was more focused on making jokes and creating a certain vibe with this one but I can see why if ur more interested in narratives this mightve dissapointed you.
I plan on making longer story focused stuff with these characters down the line in comic-form. So, look out for that if that interests you. thx for commenting!

[Murder Picture]

some of the shot changes are a little jarring, and sometimes you have too many cuts too quickly and it's hard to register what's going on

still cool though

sadtape responds:

thats constructive, thanks
