Reviews for PALADIN episode 5 part 2

[Domras]

A fair assessment and one good suggestion

The story was so so but I have always felt Newgrounds is a forum to show of you animation/flash abilities foremost before anything else. And your anmation is not too bad you have shown improvement with each episode and I think if you continue you work you will be an excellent animator.

If you are concerned bout story telling with this project I would say I saw numerous points in which you could have had plot twists and whatnot to really take this good guy must stop villian reads like any Zelda game story into something so much more.

I would suggest taking that basic idea and stretch, push, pull, even perhaps take from it...manipulate it to the point it becomes so different your basic ida is completely lost. Then take one step back. (perhaps another if you wanna make sure your underlying idea is clear) Then your good guy villian story is there but the idea has been manipulated in a manner that it isn't obvious and just like you pulled a stock story out of a warehouse.

So to all you idiots trying to sell your writer abilities over ah rating system thing STFU and go to Monsterjobs to get work. And help the man with his work by giving tips and ideas not by just saying come to me.

Also people who are wondering about the end...HOW'D YOU MISS THE TYPICAL" AND EVERYTHING GOES TO THE WAY IT WAS BEFORE AND THE HERO GOES TO HEAVEN OR SOMETHING LIKE IT."

I don't understand people.

This movie is wicked. I do not see how anyone could give it a low score, they must be very ignorant.

Sure, it's a cliche but how many other movies, on NG, are this good?
It may be an over used story telling but how many have animated it into a brilliant series like Paladin?
This animation is amazing and Jazza, you have come a LONG way since Paladin 1 and there is no reason for people to be ranting about the story.
It may have been done before but none as well as I have seen here.

Verdict- People, stop being pig headed and foolish, don't judge based on cliche, judge based on how good the cliche is. You can make a crappy, half-assed fantasy Good bad guy evil sorcerer type of film and judge that with poor score because it's lacking in everything, but something as marvelous as Paladin deserves to have your negativity about story thrown out the window. It deserves it's rightful score.

5/5

Wow.

That was epic, great animation with awsome voice actors. But I too am curious about the floating up to the sky bit.

It's the best, you know...

You know, I've watched alot of serious flash series on Newgrounds, and the complete truth, is that in my opinion, this is by far the best I have watched.
So sad it came to an end after 5 episodes, but as all great things must, I suppose.

Well...

On one end of the art spectrum, that being literature, you've managed to fall short. Very short indeed, with your story being the only thing holding this visually stunning piece of work back from glory. I'm sure you've heard it again and again in previous reviews, so I won't go there. I will only venture as far to assume that this story served as the framing for this master-piece of artistry that is PALADIN.

On the other end of the spectrum, that being, of course, the visuals, this is just tops. Very smooth animations, great graphics (At times), and all that other wonderful junk. You've no doubt proven your skills, but perhaps flash isn't the best display for life-like animation. It limits ones capabilities, and for you, it limits your potential greatly. I would love to see more work from you, but perhaps not in the for of flash cartoons.

Great job, fantastic artwork, over-used story, other-wise absolutely amazing.
