Spotlight Critiques
A group focused on reasonably criticizing the old and new animations featured in the spotlight and future animations brought onto the spotlight so no spotlight animations are thrown into the background and forgotten behind the new animations.
Rules
-If you are to vote for any animation that is your own, go ahead and vote, but vote on it as if you are looking at your old self and bringing up what you can improve on.
-Forcefully telling people everywhere to hate on an animation isn’t cool. Really, don’t be that guy just cause you want the top spot.
-Vote hard, be hard on the people who get spotlight, they already are ranked high having their animation presented in spotlight, so don’t be afraid to give a low rating on that stuff, that all is private anyway.
-Go ahead and give a statement of what you see on the animation, you can put your exact rating in or not on every category. Just don’t force yourself to make one, it’s not necessary.

Next thing to rate here. Battle of Two Ethnicity by Stickmanthai. This one I remember was actually quite interesting. It was SN, but it felt like a mix of the old school pivot animations with loads of gun fights mixed in with the new generation knockoff anime animations you see. But in a good way. This one also didn’t tell much of a story through dialogue either, it told it through actions and leaves it mostly up for you to interpret. Well. Go ahead and check it out. Watch it for a second time since it’s been a while, and then vote what you think in the link below.

Rotten tomatoes ratings vs an internet critics rating.

Let\’s start with PL-

We’ll get to that, but it wasn’t released very early in the spotlights.

Question for the server: do we criticize and critique the animations EB shows us or can we share our own to be criticized and critiqued by others too. Edit: wait fuck nevermind I forgot this was about spotlight stuff okay sorry nvm

First spotlight we are all gonna all look at. Stick Nodes Movie Episode 1 to 8 by Epitaph.
Now, while this says just Episode 1, I for some reason remember Ralph posting episode one up there as a quick way to post all the episodes already up when spotlight first became a thing. This one is definitely a classic. But is nostalgia really gonna be the defining factor over all the flaws this actually has? That’s up to you. I’d suggess watching this series all over again to episode 8 to judge how great it is, or maybe how bad it is. Your call.
http://sticknodes.com/spotlight/the-sticknodes-movie-ep-1/-
I did like the animation that epitaph did. Only problem i had with it was it being rather silent. Too silent.
2020-04-12 05:49:04 UTC-
Replying to:
To me, the animation at the beginning was rough and really basic to me. Sometimes it bothered me but that improves over time throughout the episodes. But silence in the scenes was the sleeper that killed alot of the scenes in the series. This is where the presence of ambient sounds and music is crucial in these animation with the absence of voice acting. Not to mention, that there was alot of things that happened which should have had sounds, but did not.
2020-04-12 06:25:13 UTC-
Replying to:
Exactly. The absence of sound just made it. Bland. It had a good concept, animation was ok but having barely any sound in the beginning made it feel, boring.
2020-04-12 06:32:09 UTC-
Replying to:
Yeah, there was a lack of life in the series without it.

==THIS IS A CERTIFIED HOOD CLASSIC== Jk but no really. This ones a classic. Although as others have said, too silent. Music or more sounds would definitely have helped. The figures are (mostly) all great. And it’s also kind of funny, which is surprising. Especially when you think of old stick nodes meme animations and how cringe and unfunny they are. But this doesn’t fall into that. The animation is good enough. Not super exceptional but not bad either (actually now that I think of it, it’s rusty for today’s standards of animations). This is a solid 6.5/10 for me EDIT: AND AS IF HE COULDN’T TELL IT WAS SEAN BY THE SMELL OF VEGEMITE AND KANGAROOS,AND THE AUSTRALIAN ACCENT. (Oke that’s all)
2020-04-12 07:10:58 UTC-
Replying to:
Yeah. Animation got better quickly, but it started off really rough. And visually, it had a lot of problems.

Replying to:
Yeah. He had a good overview on the series.
2020-04-12 17:20:32 UTC-
Replying to:
i rewatched some scenes recently and just realized how boring the sn movie actually is
the plot just keeps on dragging on, with jokes that tend to easily ruin serious moments
+ i really dislike the fact that the dude made his own self insert oc a literal god-
Replying to:
Yeah, when you watch it without the context it was given over the time when it was being made, it is packed with issues. And some jokes ruin some serious moments which is really a letdown. If the plot where to move more slowly and be better conveyed with a larger amount of context as well as with certain events being display better, it would have been way better. Instead, a large portion of it felt rushed. Especially in the animation where there was an absence of intensity, weight, power, sound and other things that make an animation satisfying. And I hear you on the part about making his own OC as a god on SN. Which doesn’t make sence for various reasons within a universe that is supposed to be a depiction of the SN community, but primarily he makes himself seem ridiculously overpowered compared to the villian which appears as a bit of some ego feeding.

Here is my opinion
Yes, it has a wonderful story
Plots
Action
Etc
But the animation does have issues
When a ship flies
It jerked up and down
I rate it 8/10
A remaster would be nice
But we can’t just beg for it so fast.
Yes, this was Epitaph’s main series and probably 1st.
Of course you have flaws
Let you other dudes decide2020-04-12 16:09:14 UTC-
Replying to:
The story is pretty fine, but it has a lot of questionable choices and things happen far too quickly. Plots aren’t carried out very well alot of the time, but the main plot is pretty fine. The animation to me is acceptional overall, aside from episode one and two which had many problems. He is going to remaster it from what I have heard though. This was his first, and his main, but that shouldn’t shield his series from critisism. He is going to remake it, so he needs to know what he needs to fix.
2020-04-12 17:59:09 UTC-
Replying to:
He’s going the joker execution route eyy
-
Replying to:
Wait, Oh no.

Replying to:
As in just like remastering their old anims, thats what I meant by joker execution route
2020-04-13 19:24:32 UTC-

Acceptable

For some reason the invitation I got for this was in promotions? Was this a paid ad?
-
Umm… No?
But seriously, how did it end up there?-
Replying to:I really don’t know, it might be cause it thinks SN is a company but other SN emails don’t show up there. I’ll have to get other invitations to see if it’s because of what the message says
-
Replying to:
Hmm. Alright.

Replying to:
Yeah that

Replying to:
Maybe I could make a srver invite eb and then transfer ownership to him

Replying to:If EB isn’t making a PL server he ain’t making a server for this
2020-04-11 21:21:22 UTC-
Replying to:
Bruh
He has a server-
Replying to:
Yes, but I ain’t making one for PL, so the likelyhood of me posting another server for something website based like this, is 0.
2020-04-12 05:17:30 UTC-

Yes me big brain

Make this a petition

Ya I also heard he doesn’t wanna make or join anymore servers now so :p

Wait?
Spotlights from ^^^
Or spotlights that never received votes?-
Spotlights first that never were posted up in spotlights with the new rating system. Then we go to just critiquing new ones.
2020-04-12 05:18:43 UTC

-
Thanks for the invite
Is their any ranks?-
Not sure, might make that a thing.
-
-
So, description basically says it all. We bring old spotlights back into the spotlight so they can recieve their rating and we promote that people vote on new animations reasonably. Kinda something I threw together and might forget about, but it\’s worth a shot to get those old animations up there.

It’s a good animation. Brings back times when pivot was popular with those large scale battles people would do
Yeah. A good look back at all of that.
Dude, even the effects are Pivot.
Yeah, insanely pivot SN animation.
