figured I’d post this here too, I posed it in the comments on that “Goku Black” video, just so you (and others) maybe understand more why some vids get picked when they’re obviously not as good as others:

@ what both toxic and EB bring up in their reviews, is true

somewhat “generic” and nothing too exciting

so why spotlight it?

well first off it wasn’t “bad” at all, in fact some of the effects and animation tricks were pretty neat and even some of the moves were animated well, although overall a bit stiff

anyway, animations that aren’t always “WOW 10/10” are good to showcase time to time because 1) they still satisfy the requirement of being at least “good enough” to show what SN can do and 2) it is actually more likely to inspire those who might not yet be too skilled with animation

these people see top-tier animators and while they are inspired they may feel its unattainable to ever reach that level

these types of vids maybe give more of a stepping stone to set goals and whatnot

in addition to that, I also wanted to add, sometimes even if an animation isn’t “WOW 10/10” but it’s still “pretty good” and its obvious the animator put work/effort in, I like to reward them with a spotlight + a few hundred/1000+ extra views to motivate them further
