Willberto711's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[PAIN GIRL (PILOT)]

Wanted to like this more than I did, the artstyle is very charming and the design of the main character is very good. But this episode doesn't have a lot going on and the dynamic of the group isn't very well established, for example I have no idea why Tihi was even there or is friends with Penni. The jokes also aren't really for me, mostly due to being overtly explained and some of the references feeling forced (Family Guy death pose in particular).

Was originally going to go for 2 stars, but that part at one part at 6:27 was just... uncomfortable. Even for something that supposed to be edgy that's just really bad touch, especially when the main character is a minor. I know it might seem like a nitpick but I was genuinely offput by it.

[EP 1: Origin - METROGENERIC]

I have no idea what the fuck that was

More please

[Puzzle & Sling: Boredom Killers]

Yeah is is definitely gonna pop off, the stop motion mixed with drawn faces goes absolutely hard! I really hope to see more of these characters!

[RAMSHACKLE (PILOT)]

Definitely a lot of ambition put into this but sadly wasn’t a big fan. The characters and script mainly need a lot of work, like for example they watch a baby murder a (mostly) innocent woman and show no real reaction. And on that note I think the “eat the rich” angle was done fairly one sided, like i’m just supposed to find it funny these people are getting murdered just because they’re wealthy.

It just feels like there’s a lot that could be improved upon to make the shows core theming less shallow. Maybe we could see some examples of the main characters actually trying to make an effort to earn their living, because so far all we see them do is rob and kill people for no real reason, and it makes them pretty hard to sympathise with. Doesn’t matter if you have some weird deity tell the audience how cool the main characters are, i’m still not going to like them. That ending twist could have also been handled a lot better, because otherwise it feels very out of nowhere for the setting of the show.

It’s a shame because the production value for this is really solid, with the animation and soundtrack being very good quality. So I think that with some work on the writing this could legitimately be a great series.

Really digging the Gorillaz vibes from this, for the work put in this definitely deserves more attention
