Verspar's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Egorapture]

A unique satire. it shows some frustration made into a joke about how people call your movies like Egoraptor. When I saw your name, I was thinking of how familiar it sounds, so I looked at your archive of movies and saw the Sailormoon one which I could say may give one the feeling of Egoraptor, but I see that it is essentially yours, not Egoraptor. Then I got to the the Bronies flash and remembered it immediately and I wasn't thinking of Egoraptor at all.

Sure the color scheme you and egoraptor like to use may be similar, but then again, I've seen many people who share similar color scheme throughout my life. and I'm only 19 years old! in fact I needn't be 19 to notice, I'm sure someone who's 6 years and younger can notice. Also with the art style, I hardly see any similarity, what I mean is that outside of the silly faces, which purpose are to make the most revolting or funny faces out there, I could name 1 popular game franchise art style that would fit you and 1 for Egoraptor; I'll let you know beforehand that I don't think anyone should believe their art are complete knockoff of anything, especially because they will think anything they produce will only be a copy of someone else, making their life a view of mimicry, but some people like that. As for your art style, you remind me of the Legend of Zelda, and I understand that they pull different art into the Zelda series, but if you see them as a whole (excluding Philip-CDi), the Legend of Zelda series have a constant art style. Now for Egoraptor, his art style is that of Mega Man, and he doesn't hide this fact, I mean he has and art submission that is of Mega Man X, and it is done pretty well!

The joke in this flash aren't so original, but who cares? I know your not copying Egoraptor! Besides in the form of satire, this is made better as for the fact that you've experienced the situation yourself. As for your other submission. . . they may give feelings of Egoraptor, but what is Egoraptor's style? it's a word that starts with a P. . . Parody. A fine word that describe works that are humorous, satirical, or burlesque imitation, as of a person, event, etc. (etc.? hm, two examples, televised shows and video games). And what is your style again? Oh yeah! Parody! It all makes sense now! You two make parodies! No wonder why both of your work seem similar, but essentially different.

And for anyone else who reads this, especially the ones who find Spazkid's work are terrible ripoffs of Egoraptor, I'll let you know they are terrible ripoffs! I mean come on man (or woman. . . or child. . . or neutered alien robot dinosaur egoraptured flying unicorn)! If he was ripping off Egoraptor, he is doing a terrible job, but if he isn't ripping anyone off, who are you to discern that his original work (by original, I mean the content of the parody, not the parody itself) is to be ripped off of someone. I mean, Super Mario Bros. Z is one of the most popular sprite series (I love this series) on Newgrounds and it is ripping off Mario, Sonic, and Dragon Ball Z. Alvin-Earthworm gives credit to the people who own them, it's fine because he gave credit to something he didn't make. Spazkid, on the other hand, give credit to Egoraptor only for his voice in this flash. So what, his works are something Egoraptor would do, did he do it? no! If he didn't make it, he didn't make it. I'll let you people know that I love Egoraptor, I personally think he's funny and I don't belittle Egoraptor, but I can't stand it when someone give credit to another when they shouldn't! Sure you could mention inspirations, but that's for the creditor to do. Mind you, anyone who are inspired by another would be willing to give credit to their inspiration.

One last note, some of those people could be trolls. Why? I better not be the only one who would think that Egoraptor needs credit because it would be good for him. I mean he's not a regular raptor, he's an Ego Raptor. Anyways, the true credit doesn't go to Egoraptor, but to Gregory House, who's WAY more egocentric than Egoraptor.

Thank you for your time.

Spazkid responds:

lol I think they might seem like that because some 10's were altered to 0's haha

[The Undiscovered Fish]

It's just the beginning

the voice sounds fake as it was forced to be deep (or your just going through puberty). The mic is not that good, but I guess that's what to expect when you start off; I mean I wouldn't ever start off something with all the resource before, because who know, I may end up not try to profess in it. Either way if you want to make it understandable, either speak louder, or add subtitles because I really want to know what you have to say.

The artwork are delightful, I just enjoy seeing the cute face of the, what you call it? Steve. I do think though, the trollface is a little immature, I understand your 13, but that doesn't excuse it. I'm not saying you should never use trollface, but it's not a fitting thing in this kind of flash. I'll also admit the censor is a nice, funny touch and it fits what you are presenting.

So a science project. Is it Biology? Are you being graded? If you are, was it a good grade?

I may have given you a 6, but if I were your teacher, I'd probably give you a B- or a solid A (if I had a script I'd definitely would give you an A). My reason is, if your a musician, you would be graded by if your music is any good, but if your in music class, you are graded by how well you improved or at least by how you perform in accordance to your current skills (I hope you understand my metaphor).

If I were to say anything you should change in what you have in your flash is, unless it enhances the viewer's experience, take away anything unnecessary. I I'll also say for project outside the classroom, you should look for voice actors or get a better microphone (I'm not expecting you to actually buy one).

Other than that, you did awesome with the flash.

NinjaCube responds:

Wow! I am completely stunned by the length of this review.

I know the voice is pretty bad. My friend recorded his voice with a apple microphone slash camera thing. We also edited it in garage band to lower the voice so that's why it sounds so forced. Both my friend and I who were working on this project have pretty high voices so that's why we had to edit it. For later projects I have been thinking about getting voice actors, like you said, or having some of my friends with voices that are more suitable for the characters I put in my flash. I'm also trying to find a headset microphone because I have some birthday money left.

The Trollface was sort of a test to see how many of my classmates actually knew what it was. Only one person did.

I did actually got an A on the project because the video was included in a presentation, with a whole bunch other information and a podcast.

So, yeah, thanks for the review. I really appreciate it.

[FioriParty short tribute]

Sasuke

This is funny. I was thinking Sasuke is what? They kept saying "you are" and he said "I am" and I loved what they told him because I wasn't expecting that.

uronck responds:

ho yeah ^^, thanks for your good rating ^^ !

[Shonen Vs Capcom!]

Not bad

For a second one, I'd say you are doing really great. I like the fact the animation is more smoother than other beginning flashes. As of the actual action, I'm glad you reduced goku's power level because he would have killed anyone of the battler with the super sayian level 3 kamehameha. Also when they had finished off someone I noticed no difference in their position, so maybe have him get up and then get knocked out when you did the finishing blast (I'm not telling anyone who, just watch it).

CrimsonSubz responds:

haha yeah didn't want the fight to end quick :D
Ah forgot about changing the positions >.< Thanks for letting me know about that :D and thanks for the comment ^__^

[Spanish Love Song]

Hahahaha!!!! I love this song!

This is funny!!! It make so much sense when you understand the first semester Spanish is just what is said. The character is Mike Hawke, but the music turns out to be by Michael Polks. I almost thought this was yours.

What I like most about this song is that it not only funny, but I like the way it really acts like a love song and when you listen to it, it soothes your ears. Nice choice of song. Also the art style actually goes good with the simplicity of the whole song and I like the setting at the market, it seems to be funnier than the original, but if someone did a live video of this video specifically, I'd have to watch it. Eleven is once! Oh yeah, jail, that what happens when you go to be creepy in public.

I would like to make some other people understand this song in English.

Hello Miss, Whats your name.
My name is Mike, my name is Mike.

Happy birthday!

idontplanonbeinggood responds:

The last bit was "Au revoir". It means Good-bye or Till next time in french :)

[Blerque]

Ah!!! Dystopia!!!

I always find those things creepy only because if you imagine a world in which everyone is exactly the same, creating a dystopia!! But the REAL creepy part is that first guy who was manually "enhanced", if I was watching that, I'd say "What!!? No! His arm was taken out!! I don't want this!!"

I can never understand how people can fall under a dystopian empire even if you show me. Are people truly that weak? I wish we weren't because I know that we all can truly be mislead and fall under someone with great charisma.

nice video though. Truly believable with all the tension as you see people change to something that wasn't natural.

exotworking responds:

people are weak by nature. Only through cultivation and education we can become strong individuals, at least that´s my opinion.

[Picto Action Ep.1a]

interesting

Man I wish you`d have done at least an event. Well no matter, it might turn out good. The whole thing sounds like a survival show (total drama island).

PawProject responds:

You're right! I never actually thought of it like that. Sorry about no event but the file was so big as it was, I had to cut it out. Right now I'm making the beginning piece to fit the game. Keep watching. it gets better. :D

[sonic mini adventure]

Not good for flash

I like the idea for another one of those funny Sonic sprite comics, but I guess you need to put more insight on who's the gray guy because you turned him from a fan created sonic form, into a character. Also I don't think Sonic should, meet someone with such powers (unless the sole purpose is to beat up Sonic and not kill him); yet alone, have such powers in the beginning, unless you want the super form.

maplesonic569 responds:

oh well, i was bored.

[Cool Things 007]

One of the coolest spam

Although spams don't have any point and are short. This one is really cool for its look. I couldn't stop smiling when I played it.

WinchesterLock responds:

Glad to hear it.
