Cethic's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[REALM 5: Revelation]

I'm sure you all know what Madness REALM is, if not, then god has probably answered your prayers.

I've never really discussed about REALM only to a extend when i just claim i don't like it, but honestly, it's not that bad either, i've always told to any animators that being inspired by this series is not a bad thing, but it's neither a good one.

so i'm going to be a trashbag about realm on this post because of only one image, yes, i just feels like i have to, for most people that is into the madness community (of animators, not just being a fan) probably know the various opinions going on about realm or kelzad himself (though it doesn't matter at all right now) the first episode was basically his first movie, so there is nothing to blame aside the fact we have a Baby auditor being born out of a accident, and progressively evolve into a even less original monster which appeared in a official incident.

(basically he don't even own 1% of the non-physical form, even his powers are basically auditor's) Why am i bringing this up? for a simple reason that always bothered me, at first, i thought it would be a simple matter of time, but it's not, Kelzad has never once had the intention to have his own shit, even to this day, he is surely drawing flying rocks linked with big ass chains including halloween decorations that was Krinkels's home decoration last year.

i have no idea how you can still enjoy copying content to a extend this extreme, for me, this picture is literally a Krinkels's scene to me, you can't think anything on your own because you just think you don't need to, and that's fucking sad. Obviously the reason might be something like "oh i don't really need to do so, i have a huge youtuber fanbase into madness and they like whatever i make" Which is a valid argument, there isn't much purpose to make this post aside letting you know you fucking sucks, you're literally part of the YouTubers species which corrupts kids, the only difference is that you still put more work than many others because in madness you can't really be messing around, well, you kinda did it for stuff like boss battle, it was awful and you probably knew it yourself, but didn't bothered to redo or even practice a minimum (that would be actually worse if you redid it and still being bad) i don't get it, why would you still copy shit ?

do you have a personality ?

are you krinkels's son ?

is it something like Fortnite trend, so you have to make fortnite videos to get popular and you do the same way with SACRIFICE.fla and all the others .fla and you absolutely need to do the same ?

Some people may not give much thoughts about it, but bro, no one really wanted a reduced quality krinkels version. and don't even thinks stuff like "oye but Burtjack, Thece and Prov22 did it", the problem is, you can't compare to these animators, they are literally newborn faggots with a copyright infragment disease as temporarily cancer symptoms.

I Know you will change nothing what you've done in REALM5, but if possible, reduce any references regarding the entire .fla Series.

thanks.

Kelzad responds:

no king?

[The Adventures of hank, sanford and deimos]

Please make more.

Yaeityyeet responds:

[Madness Conclusion]

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.

Kenamy responds:

My mom said "stop animating dicks that fights their own kind", as far as i know, she prefer to see them cumming than dying, seeing a dick that is ripped off the body is quite the sight, i wonder if you'll be alright after this, probably not, but i should attempt it someday, i tried searching it on google and surprisingly i had no result, despite how this search engine's popularity, i can't stop thinking about it since then because in my 6 years of experience thought animating these dicks, do dicks can have dicks ? this is quite the troublesome question.

[Incident:022A]

Big lack of motivation in this project.

Kelzad responds:

Goddamnit, Chris.

[Madness project MadHat]

I'll preface this by saying anything I don't mention below, I liked.

To keep things short and to the point, here's a list of the things I didn't enjoy.
------------
-Inconsistency in weapon details, some weapons were bear bones and others detailed.

-Protagonist design felt very lazy and uninspired, it's just a grunt with a weird face and a hat.

-There were a few time gaps where enemies could've attacked or shot the protagonist but just stood there doing nothing.

-The backgrounds were really bland and lacked environmental detail/variety. A lot of them were either just a grey room with stairs or a grey room with a ladder, usually only having the token pipes and stains.

-The gore wasn't very detailed and was pretty typical madness looking (I.e. hollow and bland looking.)

-The combat at times wasn't very entertaining, but I'd say about 90% it was fun to watch. Not much of a fowl there.

-Soundtrack wasn't anything special, very typical re-used sounds, samples and BPM. Was very empty sounding and lacking, which is unfortunate because I know for a fact that the composer can make truly great music if he takes his time and does his best. Felt lazy.

-When the wall explodes there's no debris or particles, just a big flame effect and a hole suddenly. Also why are they blowing holes into their own building on purpose?

-The center point, being the madhat and an undying/regenerating protagonist, is a unique and interesting idea. Unfortunately there was a lot of wasted potential. Like you could've had him do risky attacks, like running into an enemy sword/spear on purpose since he cant die to take him out. It's unfortunate because there could've been so much more than just generic gun and melee combat.

That being said, overall I still enjoyed watching it and for what it's worth I wasn't very bored watching. The idea's neat and fun, though an invincible protagonist kind of removes any tension the movie could've had.

Superb animation from the both of you as always. I look forward to your next release, hopefully you'll learn from this and make something truly jaw dropping. I believe in you!

JohnyPixel responds:

I will try to make my animation better :)

[Madness: Project Mercury (Episode 1)]

A pretty good first movie! I hope to see more from you. Pretty creative. :)

Prov22 responds:

Whoah, thank u!

[Madness Unleashed]

YES KING 10/10

GabrielBarsch responds:

YAAAAY

[Incident: RR]

I have 5 main issues with this movie.

-A lot of the backgrounds don't really match with the characters.
-The line inconsistency is really bothering to the eye.
-The low quality of the sound effects is irritating.
-A lot of the movements are either way too fast or way too choppy. Or both.
-The final fight was pretty lame for something that the whole animation is supposed to be building up to. He's the big boss for a reason, he shouldn't be defeated in literally 3 to 4 seconds. It's just not climatic, and it kinda defeats the purpose of your movie. Nobody wants to watch a movie where someone just waltz's in and murders the big boss without any effort. It's just not satisfying. If there's anything I've learned from making madness movies, it would be that.

I removed half a star for each problem I had. Out of 10? I give it a 4.5.

ScorpionCZ responds:

Many thanks for your constructive criticism.
The only thing that I can defend it: It's my first bigger project, so hopefully next project will turn a little better. :)

[Madness Beaconfication 2]

I never really liked the plot or idea behind this movie, as silly as it is. In terms of a madness movie it doesn't really matter, but the audio quality and animation quality are my only problems. You don't really seem to have improved much if at all since 2014. Your were steadily improving and it seems you've just stunted growth, the quality of your sound effects are also pretty low. They don't fit with the high quality music.

Removing a star for animation, it's not bad by any means but it's not godly by any means. Removing a half a star for the sound quality.

If you want some tips, I'd suggest trying to make your movements more fluid and less stiff. I'm talking about the overall movements of characters, they still look robotic and move really strangely. It's not that the animation is choppy, it's just the movements. You have characters smoothly moving like robots. Your recoil is also absurd, I'd suggest toning that down a bit and studying how guns look when they fire to get a better grasp on it.

If you're going to make 2 more parts, as a personal request, make sure the animation and audio quality are at least a step up from this one and 2014.

No hard feelings, just laying out my honest thoughts mate.

juanford66 responds:

i can understand it, yeah i know my animation is not perfect, i almost always trying to improve or not make repetitive kills or movements, on the recoil ibe changed with the pass of the years but yea could be better, and about the low quality sounds i sould try to improve the quality too, for the music ibe discovered how to improve the sound but for the orthers... i dunno if its the same process. anyways, thanks for the review dude :).
