Shuizid's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Basic Income for the US]

Didn't know the idea would be that old... nice video and well educating with a simple yet effective animation. Amazing how such a simple system could solve so many problems, yet many people oppose it for a variety of reasons, that are already discussed and debunked dozens of times.

[Awesomewatch Overwatch and Egoraptor parody]

The animation is not bad and clearly could be used for something better.
I don't really see an Egoraptor parody here, it simply uses a joke Egoraptor once made, so it is a reference at best. And that is just retelling a joke from someone else with different names or characters, without even fitting them I guess.
Also I don't get the second half. Maybe I am not into Overwatch enough, but it felt completely random and pointless and neither like Overwatch nor Egoraptor nor funny.

kehny responds:

If you've seen other reviews, the actual reference makes sense, but that won't change your opinion. Yours is a fair point, I apreciate the review though.

[Overwatch In a Nutshell]

Good animation. Though in the "apm livecam" it looked like people choped of their fingers while not using them.
Also, the "in a nutshell" was fitting, the "play of the game" part was not. Apart from giving Reinhardt and Bastion and Mercy the PotG, while they work together - most shown situations would not considered PotG. Maybe something like "troll of the game" would be better.
There was some solid humor, but it seemed a lot more random, than the setting suggest. Bastion did something that could become PotG, but Mei putting a wall into the spawn? Symetra placing a suicide teleport? Sure this is funny, but somewhat inconsistent.

[Cover Up Dat Booty!]

While I do like your animation and your humor and this video even got a single solid argument, it ultimately missed the hole point. This is not just about the butt, but about representation of woman in games.
I do have to give credit to overwatch, for including some some variety in female body types. However this video doesn't use that, instead it just focuses on _woman_ beeing proud of their butts.
Surely they can, but until we see a male character beeing proud of his butt, this is a mere distraction from the inequality of representation. It is just saying _woman_ should not complain becouse men like different butts. This is not a reasonable defence against the whole "objectification of woman in gaming", as this still is objectification and woman should just swallow it. Surely objectification in games will always happen, as they have to sell themself on the visual design as well. Which is why I think the big issue is less the objectification of woman, but only of woman and nobody else.

Just to be fair: I am not saying you are wrong. You just didn't get the point. And this might be due to people complaining about it without getting the point either (like the woman in your animation).
Therefore 2 stars, for nice animation for an old topic.

[Sinmara Saga]

Ah QuickTimeEvents, the unenjoyable stone put into out path of becoming that awesome maincharacter, by reminding us, that we are actually only pushing buttons on a controller...
Nice take on that and with amazing fighting and animations O.O

Just one thing about the story: how can a race with such badass characters AND in possession of whatever awesome weapon Skarr is looking for, go extinct?

Jason-H responds:

If I can beat this damn boss, I might find out one day.

[Pokemon is TOO HARD!!!]

The animation was good. But the joke is propably as old as the first generation... I mean literally: I thinkg this exact same joke was used in the first series. Either that or I already saw it often enough to think this is canon.
Either way, was expecting a twist to this. Didn't happen.

[Anime in a Nutshell アニメ一言]

An interesting take on the "something in a nutshell" theme.
Sadly that's it...
Sure there are some anime tropes represented in these weird mashup-thingy. But also a lot of weird red stuff and faces that either I can't make up or are just there to fill the space between the 5 things animefans would recognize.
The animation was well made, the drawing was awesome, yet it failed to deliver some sort of joke. Boobs and tentacles are part of hentai. Even if considered as anime, thats not much.
Thus 2 stars for using great skills to produce almost nothing.

[Hey I'm Spider-Man: 2]

All my 1 star belong to this becouse... well it seemed like the only joke was the fact, that it was made totally crappy.

RyanStorm responds:

"becouse"

[Regretroid Music Video]

I don't exactly know how to rate this.
The animation seemed quite solid.
The drawing can use improvement in many ways, even though nothing looked disformed, it could be way more polished (and her tight butt kinda looked... well weird).
The ides and most scenes were basically taken from the other video, but this animatin was a big improvement. While the original seemed kinda rushed (or the program used for that was just inappropriate), this one really got me thinking, there is a lot of work in it, combined with skills that yet have to improve.
So yeah, I think 3.5 stars are kinda fitting.
