TheEmeraldBlockTEB's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Early Worm]

Ain't too bad, the looks aren't too bad and are expressive and nice to look at. But the sounds, man, ain't that a bit too much? Delivery-wise, it seems to be frequent with every motion accounted for and the animation, while nice to look at; does seem to be a bit over-the-top. But hey, that's my subjective review and my two cents of critique of this neat cartoon.

Nevertheless, in short: Modestly stylistic - rooting from early noughts, late nineties. As delivery gives much of it's cartoonish merit that fit within a short from one of the channels you would watch in between cartoons and commercials. Three and half stars.

[Night of the Wild Gongachu]

4kids had to omit this episode due to a serious blunder with the transition. Jokes aside, this was really funny how this was portrayed. I really like the way you superimposed two-dimensional images onto an 3D world is magnificent and it fits quite well. The voice-acting might've sounded like it was done on first take and carried on with improv while staying true to the script.

Nevertheless, this receives four stars from me!

TheStupidHour responds:

Thank you, Emerald! Appreciate that! 😁

[TO CATCH A CRAZY FROG]

Damn, what an animation this was. While I'm not exactly cultured on American TV shows; This is funny. The background seems to be strange, dark yet everything else seems to be semi-vibrant as if it's a set. Perhaps adding to that feel that it could be faked by just looking at it. Nevertheless four stars.

[How it feels to use the Wayback Machine]

How many watts does it need to travel back in time? Bet you need a thunderbolt to get that power. Jokes aside, I like the main character, it's like it's straight outta of the nineties cartoon show. Nevertheless. Use of 3D seems to translate fine but I reckon it could do some work to imitate more flat and choppy look like the guy in this clip.

[DEATH BATTLE: Spy vs. Annoying Orange]

Definitely bizarre mix of classics from the early days of the Internet, with a satirical addition of being a YouTube video you'd typically see on such said platform. Ain't so bad, but over the top in regards to humor (Which, again, satirizes such idea being poorly used by folks with little regard for quality.) but overall funny how it's done.

In short; It does a pretty swell job of parodying such content, other than the contestants being unlikely if we're being honest. This movie receives four stars from me.

[2010s childhood]

Seems to follow 2010s right.
Although I'm doubtful that there's such modern computer that has that big monitor back in 2013. But otherwise seems to follow more mainstream high-end computer at the time.

Now as for the animation or video itself. I may note on administrator password being a reason that he wants to ask father for the password, is kinda strange. Then again I haven't grew up like most peers 'round here back then but had my start back in 2010 or '09 with Internet.

Joke about losing "Wall privileges" is unexpected. It's funny. Especially that he actually has spare walls to put back in.

Other than the ending. It's a fine animation, made well in blender! And at least it uses 2013 YouTube, although due to monitor's humongous resolution. You could say it's a slick web design.

I give this video three and half stars.

[what if doom was made in 1983 on atari...]

An Atari game during 1983? Right when E.T. is released in that year, what would follow the crash of '83. I digress but I have to say, though, it ain't bad.

Although how graphics look like, I may say there are some missing parts that make up as an Atari video game, like simpler graphics (Which ain't bad but it could be simpler and chunkier in my opinion), crunchy sound waves (You did well, but noise seems to have this tone that I don't think it goes well with it. Just make it crunchy) and how every character moves.

It's that it moves in linear path, heck I don't think Atari might have no problems having characters to move smoothly, but I have my bias with that kind of statement regarding how characters move in console games, especially like Atari.

Overall, not bad! I give this about three stars! Could improve on some areas but it does do a good job on how hypothetically could Doom be as an Atari game back in 1983.

Thx for the feedback, I might have have to look into some older games the next time I might make one, but still thanks for the feedback

[Abstracted sadness]

Excellent.

Real excellent. Pixel art animation? Now that's a rare thing to see, although for me I may not be the most active member as a bias when I say regarding pixel art animation on NewGrounds.
And it's one of the music I also really enjoy listening from that rom hack!

It seems to follow under 256 colors (I mean, you dithered it but what else to say about it?). Animation's fluid and it does a good job how characters express and behave, something that fits fine overall. Sponge is extremely close to it's Romhack look-alike (Presuming you tried to imitate it's similar style or it's your general style anyways.). I have little to no complaints about it in-fact.

My conclusion?

I give this animation 5 stars.

[TF2 - TEST]

Not bad! I wasn't expecting a stick figure in TF2-related animation.
I liked that twist at the end. That was well done!

Three and half stars!

[MY SUPER DUPER MARIO 3 ANIMATION]

Reminds me of old Super Mario Brothers animation long ago. It has that similar shoddiness to it. Jokes were funny, alas few weren't that much. Nicely parodied, has that close charm and faithfulness. Even if it has a different type of humor than it would be back then.

I'm giving it three and a half stars.
