Wow, thats some moral...I think?
I've already noticed even without your own input that you really transformed this from a humorous parody to a attempt to pull at the heart strings. In the beginning of the Armor Lock initiation I was like: "LOL"
battle was over and still in AL:"hahaha"
weeks passed to weeks: hehehe, wow the music is really getting sad."
months passed to months: (tempo of depressing music increases) hehehe?
years passed to years:O_O Wow he's really trying to make us feel his pain from armor lock spammers.
The way you had the flash evolve from a harmless comedy to a emotional flash, to me..it doesn't make feel like I should take it more seriously. In fact it seems like you were still attempting humor, as though you were conveying what an armor lock spammer goes through if it was real life. So with that analysis I'm really sure which way I'm suppose to view this flash, even though you have stated the desired reaction. That the flash was meant to be taken as a serious flash, but it kinda leaves me with intermixed feelings, should I really care for the guy or should I say "Jackass, lol you so deserved to see the reaction of your son. Your neglectful, over competitiveness has blinded you!"
Either way the message is pretty complicated since it wasn't a gradual transition in this scenario. So the message you would like to get out to everyone will possibly be overlooked since the mood transitioned to fast. If I were in a theater I'd probably here a mixed crowd of:
"hahaha's"
"hahaha's? (nervous laughter)
"wow, all that cause he spams? Thats kinda sad"
And "Whatever, but this has inspired me to spam armor lock some more!" :)
Love the animation, the attention to detail and for sharing how you feel about AL spammers through an extreme and hazy message that's as confusing as trying to make the conclusion of INCEPTION clear with one variable.
