I will say this...
You are a very talented artist HotDiggedy, when I first saw Jerry, Jackie, etc. those were probably some of the most original things you've made. Unfortunately, this series, not so much. I loved your original stuff they were very good, a piece of NG history. But when you made "Awesome Racer", that just made me really want to vomit. On top of that, you start this series. Video game parodies that we have seen and heard millions of times.
All I can think of is that your appealing to the majority of Newgrounders who watch video game parodies and just vote highly on them no matter the graphics or jokes. I can understand if you want a fanbase, but this will just lower your quality as an animator and your reputation of originality, pride, and respect will go down as your popularity goes up.
I really want to like your stuff, but as a person who loves original stuff over parodies ( although I DO in fact give parodies a chance since some are good as well), I just feel your wasting your huge amount of talent over this. Get back to your original roots and make something outstanding instead of going on with this series. I have some respect for you still, but after Awesome Racer to this, I can help but feel like its in vain.
SPOILER ALERT !!! and a bit of a fun bit trivia, the joke about mario where "When he eats a mushroom it doesn't make him grow bigger, but in real life it doesn't do that". that was taken from rtil when he made Metal Gear funnies (you can also see his seperate piece of it) and again in Brawl funnies [Dick 1] it was used (it was inspired from Ashton Pride's "Awesome Grounds").
Now that bit you got from rtil. But since its a parody and not a satire your aiming for, it just increases the unoriginality of your work.
That's my rant. Your still a great animator, just don't go along with the fad.
3/5
