Hey Mike, or Piemations, yeah…..~ It’s good to see ya dirty (aka AWESOME work, my man), you guys definitely come a long way with this series. And I’m grateful I was able to watch this episode and the others.
To: Michiko Nacol, CruncyCrowe, and yourself: good job with the animation on this one.
Also Michiko, good job with storyboarding this masterpiece of spiritual progress of Suction Cup Man.
To Vanadium Valor: Noice backgrounds, that goes for you too Mike and Michiko. Really noice.
To: Lavender Soar - blessings to you in your musical finesse of the old days of cartooning.
Also, good job with the character designs. They really stand out a lot CrunchyCrowe.
To: CruncyCrowe and Silas McDonnell for their respective roles. Fantastic as ever. Plus Zach Fuller as Guy Business. Three awesome vas join once more in spirit. In new terms, in new ways.
But, for the story, the rising action, climax, goals, setup, and heart put into this short really.
And I wanna mention something I found interesting, not really spoilers but the conflict with Bagel and the Man of Cupping Suctions really stems from the willingness to choose to forgive and act out of kindness. After watching this one episode, I watched the others, and as they come and grow, I realized this one key thing about the series: People hate his ass. Because he is seemingly acting like one. Suction Cup Man that is. Because of his inconsideration for the people around him, and those who may just let this keep jumping further than it needs to be. e.g. When Guy Business - understandably - is telling him to stop it, the two keep at it. Because Suction Cup Man WANTS to keep at it. He chooses to fight and fight and fight with others, but by allowing him to expand his character in this short that you did:
Character growth begins: i.e. The only way for SCM to win is if he chooses to be understanding, kind, and considerate to those around him - and maybe - they might allow him to climb on a few buildings - like a missile perhaps or a laser built for destroying mankind - or a regular ol’ building to do: Just for f’n fun. Forgive my lingo.
In other words, this series has the potential not only to be funny, but to teach others how to live and embrace the love of the universe and it’s inhabitants. As beings of light, it’s all we can try to do, ‘cause we all are here: to love and be loved.
Thank you all, and once more - to everyone and Mikey - PIEMATIONS! YEAAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHHAHAHAB!
As always, keep the light flowing, spiritual leaders of the future. May peace be with you…always.
