Flash is for fun

Posted by xthesnarfx - August 3rd, 2008


It seems that a lot of people now a days complain when some one gets famous over crappy animation or video game parodies. Like how some people say that ego justgot famous by doing the same things over and over again. Or how others say that all Krinkles does is animate simple looking people. These people seem to of forgotten one major thing, Newgrounds and flash are mainly somthing people do for fun and make to entertain other people.

I know hat there's no excuse for little crapply made stick flashes but if it has half way decent art and animation and it makes you laugh, why care? Not everything has to look like it was made by an expert if it doesn't have to. You can't expect everything to look great because most people who do flash only do it as a hobby not a carrer choice. But I know that it doesn't hurt to have great animation and humor, but it just doesn't need it if the animator can't do it yet.

I don't know about most animators but my favorite part of Newgrounds is reading the flash reviews that people give me because not only does it gives me things to approve on, but I also get to see how many people enjpyed it.

People just need to remember that Newgrounds was made mainly for a place people can come to for somthing to do. So next time you see a funny flash that only uses tweens, just laugh and forgete that it doesn't have great animation.

indeed

no one listened to snarf

Stop trying to have fun with flash dammit! If you do, the terrorists win! :O

Well I don't want terrorists to win...

I think the reason some people get upset is that the video game parodies and violent movies tend to get higher scores and more attention whereas someone may make something very original but not violent and they are overlooked.

In any case it's not the artist's fault so getting bent out of shape towards the artist is pretty dumb.

That's exactly what I told you when you were freaking out about how much Egoraptor sucks.....

that is true people just need to remember why newgrounds was invented in the first place it's true that spam and crap should not be allowed but flash is for fun and when people make flash they want you to be happy (most of the time) so remember flash is mainly for fun

yea but you gotta admit that its annoying when there's like good flash that took alot of effort and has real quality, and it gets low scores compared to a funny stupid parody. oh well, theres a place for everything here.

Most of the time they aren't funny though.

Great points, yeah, I love reading the reviews too

*Sigh*

It's less the humor aspect, I mean, I love animations such as brawl taunts, it's the unoriginality.

And the voting system may as well be replaced witha 'Yes/No' system, where Yes = 5, and No = 0.

I agree with you.
people set their expectations too high.

I'm just getting so sick of people bitching about how creativity is lacking in a flash, that it's animation isn't the most astounding thing, or if the humor is based around it being a parody or gag humor.

If people honestly care THAT much about creativity in animation and humor in flashes, why don't we kill off and blam the ones that just aren't being creative enough in the portal so the astounding ones of the creative populace with little to no humor can take over?

Seriously though, some flashes are just meant to make you laugh, and are not trying to be as amazing as they can in animation or humor. People need to understand that, and just laugh.
