[MVC3 - Deadpool]

Where's Deadpool?!

When these MVC3 cartoons first came about, I really wanted Deadpool to appear. I mean, this guy breaks the fourth wall more than any other character in Marvel (except for maybe She-Hulk, although I have not seen hers). I have no clue what was going on in this. While the animation was not good, it seems like you could have at least put Deadpool in this. Everyone was disappointed to see how he appeared in X-Men Origins: Wolverine. At least the shadings were not bad.

The voice work seemed to be fine. It would have been so much nicer if you had simply shown Deadpool and had him say something at least. I do not think Deadpool appeared in this, unless he was that weird Asian guy. I could not even tell which of them was saying the line about the elephant. At least you managed to make this surreal.

Very artsy

I was wondering why this was not in any of the Clock Day collections. Then I realized that this was simply not made on Clock Day! I loved this cartoon because it's one of the finest flashes I have unearthed in terms of getting high ratings. The Bach music was fantastic to use, especially when it's something so highbrow. The animation was fantastic, especially with how StrawberryClock looked. It was so weird to see him without his clock face!

Anyway, the simplicity of this cartoon showed how touching it was. I am thinking there might have been some secret message but it was still great. It seemed like it was going to be like "Alice In Wonderland". You know, with OrangeClock falling through the hole in the ground. Even the text and credits were done well.

[The Unwanteds, Chapter 1]

Quite decent!

When you said the scene was very short, I was thinking it was just going to be those drawings at the beginning. It turned out to be something way better and I'm glad! Anyway, the coolest thing was how well the character were designed. The voices were nicely done too and there was a fair number of good gags. This definitley has potential to become a popular series. My only problems are that some of the ideas just seem a little cliched and not very original.

What does matter is that you get the designs down very well and the ride is so fun. This was not a very short scene at all, but instead one that had quite a bit going on! I mean, I have known tons of artists who have made shorter scenes. You also did a good job of establishing the characters' personalities. I hope all goes well for you.

[Fling Fling episode 2]

Dog!

It is great to see something old that made it into the flash portal history! This was actually not your first submission so I am not sure why it is described as being your introduction. "The Jimmy Pee Program" was earlier and in my opinion, better. The coolest thing about this was the animation. It was an extremely random cartoon that had the funniest dumb voices to move it along. It is amazing that you managed to get professional work on Conan!

Even better is how you are still making cartoons today! Back to this submission, it was wonderfully drawn and the music was great too. I have no idea what is going on, but I know the goofiness just makes it irrestible! The best part is probably the end with the party. That part really shows how well you can animate and show emotions.

[EverGeek]

Realized something

I never realized that the "4" button said, "crunk" as I always thought it was "funk"! Anyway, I am sorry to say I only gave this a 3 anyway. This was still a fun submission because of how much emotion is put into the characters. It is great to also see where this series started so I can understand it a lot better. I loved how ticked off the girl gets when all her clothes go away and how it seems like she's trying to seduce the male character. The funniest part was when the boss yelled at them for it not being a cutscene.

I originally thought this was going to be a series about people who were trapped in a game. I guess it is more of a fourth wall breaking RPG tribute. There seemed to be something wrong with the voices. It just seemed as though there was something wrong with the microphones you were using. Still a fun series.

[A Child Vampire's Lament]

Happy belated Halloween

This is one of the best Halloween flash submissions I have ever seen on this website! The awesome thing was that the narrative was completely fantastic. It was also a truly original idea to feature this story relating to Moses and his people wandering out of the desert. You seldom hear about scripture in vampire stories. The animation was absolutely great and it reminded me of the stuff by Jhonen Vasquez. This seems like it could be made into some demented picture book!

There was just so much detail put into every word and you felt for the vampire child. I would probably feel the same way if I was turned into a vampire. The drawings are beautiful works of art and show you don't need color for something great. Seeing as how this seems to be your first submission, welcome to the site, friend! You may not have the most views but at least you got a great score and put in the Halloween 2010 section! The music is perfectly haunting as well.

[Halo Reach Fail]

Quite fun!

I guess I am so used to you making games that it's weird to see you making a movie! Anyway, this was really cool to watch because it had so much action and humor in it. I was seriously not expecting the Spartans to eventually lose. It all started with the guy's butt being eaten. I am able to get more of the jokes now simply because Halo has been referenced so many times on this website and popular culture. No, I have never played it before.

The Easter Eggs were really cool. I was in no way expecting a crossover punchline, especially with Dragonball Z. I guess when you think of DBZ Internet parodies, you just immediately think of "Dragonball Abridged". It reminded me of the stuff by Egoraptor. You have, of course, made a lot of great things in your own right.

[MusicBox]

I wish it was longer!

This was an awesome submission because it had so much great detail in it. I was thinking it might take a dark turn because of the color but the tone was consistentl light throughout the whole thing. The coolest part was not knowing what was going to show up next. You can even understand how every thing carefully fits in its compartment. I would love someone to make a real life version of this machine. It's funny how you never thought of a music box as a machine before.

I like how the red color contrasts with the black and white. I guess those shading effects just touched me on a spiritual level in some way. Of course, the animation all around is very good. Oh, and how could I forget that the tune itself was a great one to listen to? I certainly had no problems that it turned out to be an infinite loop.

[Mortal Kombat FAILtality]

You're back!

It's been awhile since I've hard form you and it's great to have you back! I had no idea there was a new Mortal Kombat game coming out that was simply called "Mortal Kombat". Anyway, the sprite work was really well done. I loved how you used stuff from the MUGEN game, that should show up more around here. It was also funny to see the characters who didn't make it in. I notice that although Raiden was the losing opponent sometimes, he didn't actually have his own part.

I also wish the "?" at the end would have been a cool Easter egg instead of just the credits. This is still great because it has been the longest time since a Mortal Kombat parody like this came about. "Mortal Kombat 3" was one of my favorite games when I was a kid. I think my favorite would have to be Shang Tsung. It's hard to keep track as there are simply so many!

[Spider-Ninja 2]

Neat!

I had fun trying to find out who would show up next in the cartoon. I could not tell who the big ninja was at first, but he turned out to be the Sandman. When Spider-Man put him in the jar, I could not help but think of Gaara from "Naruto". The best part was the animation and how the characters look so great. It seems like Marvel has done pretty much everything with Spider-Man, but I am not sure if he was a ninja. Seriously, he's been a zombie, an Indian, a Pilgrim, I could go on all day.

I guess his mythos has become so well known you can put him in almost anything. When he was flying around with his mask, I thought he kind of looked like Deadpool. The Green Goblin probably had the best villian design. It was really cool how this went out and created a world of its own. It sure takes a long time to load, though.
