Blessing's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Spazkid in 4D]

Some random guy looks at porn and jerks it. I'm afraid that's been done. I don't know where he's back from, but he needs to go back there.

nickmsantoro responds:

You obviously don't know who spazkid is, nor what flash is...

[Anime Leo & Satan]

The idea had a lot of potential, but of all the millions of ways you could have parodied anime it seems like you picked the worst possible tropes. I like the art a lot so I'll give you two stars for that, but the humor's rather dull, nothing very entertaining takes place, and Leo is either a child or a retard and I don't feel like watching either of those get raped... Twice...

I think the gay guy a few reviews before me hit the nail on the head. You went for shock humor waaayyyyy too much. I don't think there was any other kind of humor involved which is a big part of why this flash fell flat so fast. Not really any wit or being clever or anything, just a hope that if you threw enough violent rape at us it would become funny eventually. You have a lot of artistic potential and I hope you'll keep at it, but you should work on your writing.

Speedo responds:

Sorry, my writing sessions usually intertwine with my porn-watching marathons, its a mess

[Halo 4 Trailer Obsession]

Not bad for a first animation. I felt like there were too many lines in the faces but that could just be a style choice so I won't knock you too much for it. The animation was very smooth, which I liked a lot. The audio cracked a little here and there, but that was microphone related. The voice acting itself was good. The logic used at the end was.... Reasonable... Except it skips over the fact that every Halo game since the second one is boring anyway. I haven't seen the trailer for halo 4. I haven't seen screenshots for halo 4. I haven't even seen concept art for halo 4, but the fact that I know they're making one already makes me bored of it. That series needs to die.

BSTHEDOG responds:

Yeah, even though I'm not that type of person to get sucked into doing stuff just because my friends are playing it, it seems to be the case between me and Halo. Anyways, thank you for the very nice review! I haven't gotten one like this which points out flaws and things they liked. Very much appreciated.

[I Know You Too Well]

Well...

You had, in most places, some nice animation. I commend you on that. The song was alright, not great but not awful, kinda meh. This video was extremely random though. A lot of what you chose to animate didn't go with what was being said, and although you clearly have some animation skill, you over exaggerated almost every movement to the point of making it look bad. The boobs defied gravity, physics, and any other laws they could, which wasn't helped by the fact that you forced boob and panty shots in unnatural places (I get the feeling you're very very lonely). The... For lack of a better term, "plot" of the video didn't make much sense either. They're at some kind of race where they've forced their way out onto the track and everyone's excited and happy to listen to them whine? Confusing. Especially given the way they suddenly embrace while the song is STILL PLAYING. Given everything that was said, it seems really... Dumb. It also surprises me that, KNOWING a line like "you have no tits" is coming, you still design your female character with melons the size of her head. Then again, no part of this seems planned to me and I suspect you just sat down and started drawing random things while your characters lips (in SOME parts...) sync up to the music.

Overall, I feel the most redeeming part of this video is the song. Unfortunately that's not a song you wrote but rather a song by some band trying to make money which you have provided in full for free here presumably without their knowledge. You have skill, but you need to tone down the exaggeration a bit, otherwise your stuff will only seem like "bad trip hallucination videos".

Spazkid responds:

that was the most ignorant, and biased nitpicking ive ever in my life. Thanks for that. And as for the band, Theyve already asked me if I would do another and have shown this off to plenty of places.

You're a fucking idiot im sorry.

Like I can appreciate a good modest review with inteligent points and good tips. But all you did was complain about background locations and how ranndom stuff is happening in a random song. Are you surprised water is wet?

PS: mature videos with mature stuff. WHAT WHAA

[Ezreal Likes To 1v1]

The art's not bad, but the writing is. This could have been funny. Poking fun at Ezreal's sexuality is always fun (especially after they updated his splash art to be the very definition of androgyny), but you beat the joke to death before we even get to the punch line. As if you thought we were too stupid to put two and two together about what's being suggested by 1v1, you had to have jax do hand gestures and then inexplicably have some throwaway idiot with a dildo in the bushes. Okay. We get it. Gay sex is coming. Way to pulverize the pun into oblivion.

The "sounds gay, I'm in" line had the potential to be really funny, but by the point he delivered it you had already raped the homosexuality thing to the point that it lost any humor value. Coupled with the fact that you used a nobody for your bush-dildo thing instead of another recognizable character, and the fact that you had Jax (of all people) out-homo Ezreal with his surprising eagerness and hand gestures (there are so many characters who would have worked so much better, like Tryn or Graves if you were playing it for laughs, or Teemo or Cho or even Mundo if you weren't) this joke was dead on arrival.

Ezreal's voice acting was done pretty well though, so there's that.

Dieseling responds:

I understand what your saying, I really do, however I can honestly say I was just trying to focus on improving my animation skills. The writing for my following projects will be much better. Something that even you will enjoy. I know it wasn't funny to you but understand that wasn't my goal in making this video. You say the art's not bad so that in itself is good enough for me(on this video). However, in the projects that are to come I will be focusing on making the writing great and the animation equal to that. Thank you for the honest review and sorry you didn't find the humour in it, but remember that humour is something that's all to your own.

[Travis Just Can't Stop.]

Since homestuck always makes me go "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMG!" cause I'm such an uber fan, I've decided to vote everything homestuck related with "OOOOOOOOOOOOOO". My logic is flawless, like this flash! Just kidding, actually this flash is a little boring. The animation is decent though some pretty obvious rotoscoping, but aside from that there's really nothing to this flash. It's a small loop played over and over for way longer than it should be, and that doesn't amount to much of a flash in my opinion. Please try to come up with something with a little plot in the future. Happy Day That No One Will Ever Celebrate But You Day!

HeirOfDrills responds:

It's not supposed to have a plot, it's just a random silly flash I made because it totally doesn't fit the character at all. It's supposed to be reletively the same thing repeated over and over. Infact, originally I was just going to use the GIF and the sound and change nothing, but I decided that was a little too boring, so I made it do at least a little something.

The actual story has much more plot than this parody although it's barely developed yet since it's still in the exposition stage.

The day will never be celebrated stand alone, but it will be hailed by my friends and family (and possible future fans, though I could care less) as my first big project. This is just to get my feet wet, just wait and see ;)

[The Amazin Spidaman]

I was actually enjoying this until the Uncle Ben's joke. Everyone's seen that all over the internet already and it's not helped by the fact that you didn't even work that joke in smoothly. You forced it in there hard without any care for how it would affect the viewer's experience. For that I really just can't look at you right now.

wynand responds:

Awwww I'm sorry, please forgive me. Your right though, I didn't put enough focus on the actual writing part =S.... although it was in there from the start time restraints and a hard drive crash forced me to cut things short. What you see is me tying things together haha =3

[Dumping Grounds]

I can't tell if the thing wearing the goggles is a dude or a chick.

The audio could use some improvement, but the animation was pretty good. Except the repetitive twitching of the madness guy, that was very noticeable and distracting. This shows some serious promise. Keep at it.

Informant responds:

yeah I got a little bit fed up with the scene with the monsters in it.. >_<
thanks :)

[Link's Special Attack]

Eh... It could have been worse. Judging by your author's comments you hate it and think it's a failure so it's okay for me to hate it and think it's a failure too (i think we can all agree that those people who whine about how crappy their craptastic craps are in hopes that someone will tell them they're wrong are really pathetic). Your art was decent and your animation is at least average, but I can definitely see why you didn't like it. The audio was pretty bad and it wasn't funny. The summary text thing even said something about Link holding the B button too long, which was extremely misleading since he only held it long enough to achieve what he needed to. The sound at the end was really confusing and distracting, making it seem like the flash had messed up at first (I watched the flash before reading your comments, which, by the way, your comments put me in the mindset to hate the flash since you basically talked me out of recognizing any positive qualities it had). It's true that this isn't the worst thing I've seen, but it could have been much better. It's nothing original, and when I look at it from the perspective you seem to be looking at it, it's really just not a good flash. Keep at it though, you'll get better eventually.

Dieseling responds:

Thank you very much for the critique, honestly if I couldn't handle it I shouldn't be posting it online for others to judge right;)

I didn't say it was bad for self pity and for others to say "Oh this wasn't that bad" but I really did feel that it was an awful project. That being said I can completely agree with you on the fact that this should be kept from the viewers as it would change their opinion on the video.

Again thank you for the harsh critique, it allows me to see what the worst is by bringing it up in front of the good stuff (if that makes sense). Now I can only improve from this:)

[Countdown to Bronycon: 5]

This must have been hard to create. The lines are so witty, but pale in comparison to how incredible the animation is. I can only imagine the months you've spent working on this.

Fantishow responds:

I'll admit, some of the special effects were hard on the budget, but I think we pulled through with something for everyone to enjoy. A bit of humor, drama, and romance, all of which had lots of time and effort put into them. It's good to see such a helpful, encouraging review of such a labor of love.
