[Android X-19]

lame

this thing was waay too long. i stopped watching at some point during the 2 minutes it took for the container to open. what does this android get up to? i def don't have the time to stick around and find out.

[Foamy: Hurricane Special]

An exception...

Normally I am big fan of your work. I, among multitudes of fans, found it quirky and entertaining. This flash, however, is an exception. No offense, but it's lame. I realize that you're trying to make a point, but like others may have pointed out, the reporters can't "get off their asses and help," because what the hell can they do in a hurricane? Your intentions in making this flash are heartwarming, but the points you are making are simply unfeasable.

All I can say is this had better not get an award or frontpage. A lot of us work hard (like you did on your previous works) to get our animations noticed, and the effort put into this flash (a mere pitch-modified voice) is clearly not worthy of any praise.

[Coleoptera Bibliophile]

Deep...

For those of you who thought there was no real meaning behind this flash... What? Of course there is, and this is my take on it...

The beetle feels the need for a better American leader (in this case obviously republican - the elephant couldn't be clearer), and creates one. However, once all the patriotism and show has won over the population and consequently the vote, the new leader actually becomes a monster and begins unjust wars and such, and propaganda machines are born in the process. Sound like anyone we know? Perhaps that simian president? In the end, the beetle feels remorse and regrets ever creating such a creature, and in turn exterminates it. This last part is merely fiction. The rest? It could very likely be a retelling of the story of George.

This is just my take, as a foreign viewer who's been watching the eyes of the Republican population of America being blindfolded. However, I would love to hear from the author himself... What was the actual story being told?

Now to the actual assessment: The graphics and style were visually pleasing. Very crisp - I like. You put so much detail in this flash, which really made it stand out. One scene in particular; the X-ray was nicely done. The Asio Kids soundtrack went well with the flash, and you managed to match what was happening in the animation with the actual song - kudos. The violence and humor weren't supposed to be the main focus, I'm assuming, but there was definitely a lot of calculated irony.

Well done. I thoroughly enjoyed this one - thanks for putting much thought into your flash.

hatrobot responds:

As long the submission continues to spark intelligent discussion and thoughtful dialogue, I don't mind the cartoon being open to interpretation. More than anything I want people to start thinking about the nature of war; what is it that makes one nation destroy another, and what are our possible alternatives?
Thank you for your comments.

[Survivor: Hyrule]

sweet job

nice job with the drawing! the characters showed a lot of emotion in their faces - skill. and i agree with the previous reviewer, the music was tight... no doubt a cover of frank sinatra's moon river... but who was it by?

[the glock group is gay]

fuck this

i agree... all of these crews suck wang. the locks are hella boring, and this is even worse. these clips were like five seconds each, and even if they did have any plot or speech, it would be in that fucking annoying computer voice. stop with this shit. it's wasting your time and wasting ours.

[Backseats Are For Lovers]

i love PT

big fan of Backseat Kiss... it's all about PT and Nethaniel the bunny. those guys are my idols. my name's also PT (petey) so bonus dice to that too.

I love the cardboard style... you guys musta put hella effort into it. hope to see more crazy shit soon!

[WarPigs14: James]

maaaan

it's cool you guys have a crew and all, but how can you not be tired of making and/or watching fucking clocks doing stupid things? the only clocks/locks/etc. flashes i can stand are the ones that actually have plots and thoughts put into them. fucking clocks and whatnot. how can y'all not be sick of them? gross.

(i'm not hating, i'm just stating... newgrounds has enough of this shit already.)

[!!!jump Around!!! Iv]

what IS this???

Congratulations on making the worst movie pretty much ever on the front page. 1.85/5.00? Sweet.

[HOLY HENTAI]

fuck yeah!

it looked like the preloader took a lot more time to make than the actual flash...
