Cyberdevil's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Rad (Equal to Rad)]

Looking back at this my mind wanders to the sound design again, wondering how it'd be with a richer musical backdrop somehow, but the rest of it's rad as ever! And always. And ishes.

Maybe not the most obvious red thread, and physics felt a bit off overall, but: enjoyable all the way. Appreciate the creative transitions, and how it all syncs to the sound. Didn't realize this radish theme was so permeating previously also...

[The Hair]

Started expecting that at the first resistance, but still... you just cant really prepare for it. XD Think this might be haunting me a while now...

[Flag Man]

Such an unexpected and unfortunate demise... impaled on the pole... maybe it's destiny after all. Life. It don't always go like you expect it no...

In some way this feels so symbolic.

[LoopdeLoop - WHOOPS!]

Classy, creative, so very different and composed! :D The bird style reminds me so much of Sabtastic so much I had to doublecheck the credits a couple times, but no... it really is you.

Nicely done.

[Chips]

lmao. XD Hard to tell if he's awake or no, doing that on purpose or no...

Another one of those somewhat unexpected but somewhat very unexpected bits. Like: you'd think the noise would factor in somehow here too... it's like the visuals and the audio play on different paths of plot progression. But it all works out just perfectly.

Real authentic work with those chiptune sfx too!

[Imposter]

lmao. XD Potential 6th Day inspiration? Looks like the skeleton dude really has a bone to pick with Chutney in this one...

The way the helicopter rumbles in the background you wonder if it'll have a more prominent role, but the fact that it never does adds to the unpredictability bit. Though you kind of start predicting the end at the end... good fun.

[Pokemon, A Pretty Cool Move!]

Feels like there might be certain Pokemon-specific references here I'm not really catching, something about that unexpected escape... but nice animation. It's not the smoothest, but I appreciate how much detail's gone into each frame. All that shading. The battle bit in particular was well done.

ElaborateBagel responds:

(Occasionally Pokemon can run from encounters whilst "frozen solid!", for some reason)

[Critics : Foamy The Squirrel]

Foamy's the real critic isn't he. ;)

I agree though. And it's a shame, how the more content you partake in the less you appreciate it. The less it stands out. The more everything you see is just like everything else. So maybe the first time you see something you don't like: you'd better either start seeing different things or try to see things differently.

Life's too short to not appreciate.

Yet again, we appreciate these rants in particular because Foamy doesn't, so why would critics be any different? Why do we appreciate one rant and not another? In some sense of the being: this all starts falling apart. But good stuff.

[Thomas was only following orders]

Wonder what it would've been like if AI existed back in those times, who would've been to blame then... what a twist with the trains and this. As always you really capture that mood, that moody mood...
