Clearly I'm the only person who visits newgrounds regularly that doesn't understand.

Why the fuck does this movie have a 4.4 on newgrounds?

It doesn't make a wee bit of sense to me. Really, how are the first and second so damn popular.

I've noticed it as well, theres much better stuff with lower score, this is just weird.Story is not cool, art is not cool, animations nothing special.Idk why is that on the top.

- a good amount of newgrounds' fanbase consists of kids who watch animations because they're cool looking
- seeing as most reviewers aren't animators themselves, they can't spot an animation that looks bad to us (lacking easing, proportions, etc.)
- because this particular stick animation isn't random fighting

i honestly thought that this or the 1st one wasn't that good either, and it's a little annoying to see that this is somewhat popular, and that this is on the frontpage of spp

also: anyone play that "Professional Sniper" game on the frontpage? shit sucked

I can animate better than this guy.
But I know that he's getting NG top 5 this month.
Even through all the halloween animations.
This shit is unjust.

But there has to be a specific reason as to why this in particular was so popular. D:<

To be honest, one of the only persons that actually succeeded with stickpage was Mesmay.

But like every other, now he just wants us to rate 5 on his animations. I remember when he used to be a part of this community.

tl;dr - better to be unknown and happy than famous and boring.

No Miniman, just the offspring of real people that have become not real.
