TheWight's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Red Tie]

I DON'T GET IT!! Although lots of your techniques were really cool, the storytelling was so poor. Was this supposed to be funny? The scream face seemed like it was supposed to be a joke but I can't tell because you didn't establish the atmosphere well enough. Sorry for ranting.

[2 Guys 1 Shark]

'twas a funny flash indeed. Well executed. Loved the background music. Voice acting could have been better, but still did the job.

Gerkinman responds:

Ive never been known for my voice acting ha ha, but I find it fun. Thanks for the review :)

["Mark Loses It"]

Oh Mark. When will he learn?

[Ketchup Pump]

Someone's been watching too much GameGrumps.

[TOME Episode 06]

OH. MY. GOD. That was so good. So, so good. I feel ashamed to say it now but I was worried that the series was becoming boring... but this episode was so incredibly goood.
The biggest thing for me was the way you have once again grounded the series in reality. There were so many references to the fact that THEY ARE PLAYING AN ONLINE GAME in this episode that had been severely lacking before. And the character development! Oh the sweet character development.
Before this the characters had begun to get a bit flat and 2D. Nothing really was revealed or developed about their personalities, PARTICULARLY Nylocke, who was becoming more and more irritating. But THIS episode. wow. Nylocke. is. awesome.
It's so reaaalll!!

Thank you!!!

You obviously haven't watched very much of PewDiePie's content, and if you have, you have either failed to notice a lot of things, or you are intentionally ignoring a lot in order to make crude, hurtful jokes. Your cynicism is quite upsetting. I admit that I am a bit of a fan of PewDie, so I am mildly biased, and I do also know that part of this was intended for Tobuscus, iJustine, etc. And although I think that what you are twying to say here has some realistic connection to their actions, that doesn't make it right. And for gods sake, if you were going to take the piss out of a Youtuber, why the firetruck did you pick PewDiePie? Seriously, why? I say this not because I am a fan (okay, maybe a little bit) but because I think I can safely say that PewDie is one of the most humble, genuine people on Youtube. I tried to see truth in your satire, but I really couldn't. "Time to make a gaming channel!" - PewDie IS a gaming Youtuber! Yes, maybe that joke was intended for Tobuscus, but then why didn't you make him the scapegoat? I can think of so many Youtubers who are more deserving than PewDie of this (in my opinion) disgusting piece of work. But I don't think any Youtuber fully deserves this.

I want to say a lot more about how wrong this flash is, and how much it upset me, because I am fairly sure I could back those claims up with evidence, but I think I should cut top my point. If you are going to kick the shit out of someone (metaphorically speaking), for fucks sake back yourself up. Research your victim before you accuse them. I admit, you did have a nice piece of evidence at the end there, but that by no means justifies the whole thing. Why the hell did you feel compelled to throw shit at PewDie in such a vulgar, unintelligent manner?

2 stars for animating.

Speedo responds:

I didn't make Tobuscus the scapegoat for that joke because this "lols@Holocaust" guy is a personified collection of ALL these guys and it just so happens he takes alot of traits from PewDiePie seeing as it is mainly intended as a PewDiePie parody. And I do have plenty of "evidence" for the jokes I made. The Happy Wheels thing. Again, that's not JUST a jab at Pewdie, keep in mind. Every time I see a new vblogger making a faggy gaming channel, they always, ALWAYS fucking play Happy Wheels. I've used this metaphor so many times, but they're just pissing in a pool of piss. They all play the same games and react the same ways and I don't think most people (including myself, obvs) understand why these type of vids still get so many views.

And yeah, that last piece of evidence is the most valuable I have, really adds to the opening scene about the google adsense money thing. Good on him if he happens to give some of the money he makes to charity, but it sure as hell didn't come across that way with his little "extra views gimme extra money lololololol" comment. In fact, I think whoever he was replying to, he should of just said "extra views will allow me to donate more money to these charities" because not only would it be (the apparent) truth, but would also come across a HELL of a lot less snarky. Makes him sound like a total barrel.

[Out of Order 1]

BEST FUCKING THING I'VE SEEN IN AGES!
This series is going to be amazing. I mean, it's going to be brilliant. I'm not even going to try to criticize. 4.5 stars because there is some room for improvement.
Only one thing. I beg of you, please PLEASE see this series through to it's end. I've seen so many amazing pieces of work start here on Newgrounds, filled with amazing talent, and every time they fizzle out before the end. really. I mean it. I've never seen a single serious series with a strong storyline last here. they all just... stop. Usually the creator moves on, gets to a new stage in their life, and no longer feels the need to finish them.
Please, I beg you, finish this.

[SS Mail - Meaning]

Heeey, this is pretty good! Not really my thing, but certainly nice that it exists! :)

I'm mainly posting this because of some of the comments below. He's not trying to pass this off as real science at all; that's why it's called spirit science. Okay it's not really "science" by the dictionary definition, but this kind of spiritual belief, if a bit airy-fairy, is definitely a useful and enlightening subject, not to mention being recognised the world over. It deserves respect.

While I don't really believe in this stuff literally, the message it sends, and the psychological benefits it entails are certainly useful, and something the world needs to become more aware of.

[New Eden - Pilot]

Ugghh - I hate how this always happens!

Some awesome, talented individuals work their arses off and create an awesome promo for an upcoming series. It's always, slick, well-made and obviously well fueled by enthusiasm. But for some reason their always kind of... lame. I don't know why, whenever there's a big production like this, it always makes me cringe... there are examples but dammit I can't remember their names. The only exception from this is T.O.M.E. - maybe because it was based off of a series made by on person that wasn't trying to look cool or modern. And even that (I feel) is in danger of becoming boring if the characters aren't developed more.

This has the same problems - flat characters, flat jokes, and a flat storyline. But like the others, it has so much potential. Maybe the problem lies in trying too hard. trying too hard to look cool, to impress the audience, and missing the point - just go where your heart takes you - use a storyline and joke that YOU like - not ones that you think the audience will find appealing. That way it will seem less... flaccid.

Nevertheless I look forward to the upcoming shorts. I'm sorry if I've been to harsh - feel free to criticise - I hope you prove me wrong in future!

Good Luck! :)

NewEdenseries responds:

You reeeeeaaaalllllyyyy don't like the education system, don't you?

Pahgawk responds:

Actually I quite like school. It's just that it's harder to make an interesting story when there is little conflict.
