[How To Appeal To Newgroun]

You're completely wrong. Tutorials on Newgrounds are usually pretty stupid. The REAL steps to making successful flashes are:

1. Make it about whatever video game is popular at the time. The more overrated the game is the more loved your flash will be. Especially if the overrated piece of garbage in question contains an exploitable joke that isn't funny the first time you hear it. I'm thinking something about... Say... An arrow and a knee...

2. Say it's your first flash. People will save the worst crap ever if you tell them it's your first flash. Don't believe me? I made a flash called Deth Fiting solely to prove this point. It survived.

3. Make a madness flash. Since even the original madness was just a bunch of basic shapes being tweened, ANYONE can make a madness flash of the exact same quality. The bonus to making a madness flash is that you don't need voices, plot, or (oddly enough) even entertaining fight scenes. Just have one guy tween like he's having a standing-up orgasm while he shoots the other tweenies and you're good to go.

[Mass Effect: Relations]

So... Reproduction and Birthing are different things huh? That's questionable.

SardonicSamurai responds:

It was a joke, and the Asari tap into the CNS of species to get genetic code...

[LF2-Julian War 2 Ch.1 P.2]

I didn't realize what LF stood for until they started talking. Unfortunately, the title screen and the icon set me up to expect something a little more... Not spritish. Oh well. It was still alright overall, but it would benefit from voices.

[Bridge Fight]

TRUST ME, I KNOW WHAT I DO!

A bit too much tweening for my tastes (gives the characters some stiff and unrealistic movements) but it was pretty good otherwise. Keep up the good work!

bocodamondo responds:

seriously? ... there was like only 3 scenes with tweens and you guys going nuts????
thers alot of populare artist who got they entire flash with only tweents but no one complains about them

unfair...

[Dora the adventurator]

Really weird... But the animation was fun to watch. Well done.

[True Friendship]

Wow... I hate My Little Pony with all of my me, however this was really deep. I like it a lot. I do hate Spike significantly less than the others since, being (most likely) male and a dragon, he represents all that is male in their world, so maybe that's why I was able to make it through this whole flash. When the creators of My Little Pony and all of its fans burn in eternal hellfire, I hope that you at least are allowed a wet towel. Keep up the good work!

Piggybank12 responds:

First off, thank you for taking the time to write a review!

The depiction of male characters in the show so far has always been frustrating to me as someone who's happened to see a lot of the episodes as part of doing research for this project. I know the show is designed for young girls, and I completely respect that, but I still wish more male characters were given some smarts and better depiction in the show than what they've been receiving so far. The only exception I have to that is Spike, who's kind of a "little brother" character from what I've seen and plays that part very well, since I know there's a few young girls watching the show that have a brother that may get on their nerves in their lives. (At least, I know my younger cousins do, who happen to be big fans of the show, and ended up indirectly helping a lot with keeping my animation's audience appealing to the same huge audience that watches the show.) If there's anything I would try to put more emphasis on in the show if I had the power to do it, is to give male characters some more time in the spotlight and some more smarts as well. Help show that us men have brains too, you know? Yet, we don't want to overpower the messages in place for the girls that watch the show in the first place, since this is MLP we're talking about here.

And I'll be honest, your second to last sentence there made me crack up. I shall wear my wet towel with pride and dignity, knowing I at least tried and perhaps succeeded in making something meaningful out of all of this MLP stuff! :D

[TF2: Hats]

I was hoping I could understand this flash without playing TF2. I was wrong.

[Bomb Scare]

Well... The art was solid, but I'd suggest having someone else write next time...

[Billy Broccoli- Ep1]

The "narrator says something and the character repeats it" joke is a solid one that usually works anywhere I see it, however you used it... and used it... and beat it to death in this flash. It should be a one time thing, otherwise you water it down way too much. Aside from that this was an alright flash. The art was decent and the animation was solid. The voices were a little grating but worked for something comical. Just remember that repeating the same joke over and over and over again isn't very effective on people above the age of 8.

[Vegeta In Every DBZ Movie]

It was okay. I think I would have enjoyed it more if your author's comments weren't so loaded with self-pity. You kind of put me in an "expect it to suck" mood so everything seemed... Y'know... Sucky. The tweening of him backflipping across the ground, the lines, definitely the voices, there were several things you could have improved upon. My biggest advice would be to try to enjoy what you do more. You don't have to brag about it if you don't want to (though honestly, from a psychological/marketing standpoint that would be best), but don't tell people to hate it in advance. If you honestly believe it sucks then one is forced to wonder why you'd show it off. Either you think the rest of us love sucky things or you just want people to tell you you're wrong and that you're actually wonderful (which, let's face it, is pathetic whether it's a flash, a dress, your weight, or anything, if you think it's bad don't expect others to disagree :P ).

All things considered, it's not a bad flash. Keep it up. You'll get better. Before you know it you'll have flashes that YOU don't think are bad.
