jthrash's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Frye ruined my house in Minecraft?! | Shiver Splatoon Animation]

The way you captured all the little movements that streamers always tend to do...divine! Really adds to the joke!

[Mario Mail Day - Animated]

This is wrong on so many levels.

[The Queen's Dance]

Most people use extremely small sprites so they don't have to spend as much time polishing the animation, or they are a beginner in the art world.

You, on the other hand, have managed to get bouncier animations from the Deltarune cast despite making them even lower-res than they were in the actual game! How??

gatekid3 responds:

Thank you. Stuff being small lets me actually do stuff with them faster so I am less likely to get sick of the animation. it gets harder to be expressive with them though. It works here though because these characters dont need much expression in their faces as long as I animate them well enough.

[Heaviest Lap]

Heavy's just having a little bit of fun in his comically-tiny bumper car, leave him alone!

[Oneyplays Animated - Minecraft Intro]

Every single parody of this iconic Oneyplays make me laugh harder and harder, specifically how people draw Zach as an unhinged Minecraft Streamer.

[How to Finish Artwork]

The periodic rants about AI and Hollywood's obsessive desire for efficiency and predictability in the inherently time-consuming and unpredictable creative realm were beautiful foods for thought, emphasized by the apparent sheer amount of work you put in comics that only take me a minute at most to read through you demonstrated throughout this video. The monotone sarcasm as you tear about the AI techbros' argument that it reduces the barriers of breaking into art when breaking into art is literally as simple as finding a pencil and/or pen and not being a lazy turd was a particular highlight.

...As for the last question posed before the video ends, I am somewhat comforted in the fact that, based on the box office numbers of recent Hollywood summer blockbusters, the average layperson seems to be slowly reaching a point where they are pickier about what they consume and will no longer watch any slop put in front of them, especially in a period where studios insist on drastically driving up the prices for going to the theaters and streaming shows/movies while at the same time using A.I. to cut the cost of human employment entirely. If Hollywood thinks the solution to audiences largely rejecting every sequel or reboot this summer outside of Across the Spider-verse is to flood our screens with MORE A.I.-generated content and charging us more for the privilege of consuming it, they are going to be in for a rude awakening, not that they aren't already going through several rude awakenings at once.

Sorry for the essay of a review, but that's what happens when you give me so much food for thought!

[PUNCH PUNCH FOREVER!]

This feels like one of those weirdly-authentic anime parodies that Dexter's Lab would always do back in the day, I love it!

[OPA - Trump vs Linkara vs NC]

I fear AI like the dickens, but man, I've gotta admit that image the OneyPlays guys generated of Trump shaking hands with a littler version of himself (when the prompt was supposed to be "Trump shaking hands with an alien on the White House front lawn") had me laughing until I couldn't breathe. So did this animation, especially at the end!

[Toes]

I am jealous of any artist that makes a living essentially drawing or 3d modeling the most hideous thingamabobs imaginable. Screw making "marketable" designs for animated movies just so the company can cynically sell toys, this is TRUE beauty, here!

Potatoman responds:

Jokes on you i dont make a living HAHA

[Working out in 100 degree weather]

That’s okay, she probably burned 100,000 calories just from screaming her lungs out for an extended period of time.
