My thoughts on Egoraptor and RTil's Feud.

First, I'll start with Ego:

While it's true that most of his cartoons are poorly drawn, but at least they get a point across. (Unlike certain satire cartoons that miss the point.) However, he can draw a lot better than the awesome cartoons he did (it's a good thing he quit; otherwise they'd end up on the next AFD episode). And believe me, I've seen his art on his website. As a voice actor, he's almost a match for Ren & Stimpy's Billy West and Frank Welker; but I'm starting to get tired of him in every other flash I see (along with Omahdon, Tomamoto, & Kagome/Rina-chan). When it comes to his jokes however, he ends up using those that have been done to death, but it isn't his fault really. (You have MTV to blame for that) Kirbopher, on the other hand, had no excuse (his latest flash wasn't funny except for the Mega Man & F-Zero shorts).

Now, I turn to RTil:

I agree with his unyielding passion for animation; and I thought "Move Your Feet" was much better than many of the top 50 Flash movies. Sure he isn't much of a voice actor, and yes, he tends to rant a lot; but damn, his stuff deserves a few major awards. Besides, a lot of the people who criticize him are in "glass houses" as Penn & Teller put it. Now if only he got his shift key fixed...
Update: I saw Metropolis circuit and Flash Comedy Extravaganza, and I'd have to say that they blow Nin10Doh! and Brawl Taunts out of the water and into the shithouse. It looks like Adam Philips(Bitey) and Dave Lovelace(RAB) have a competitor to deal with who can also act (and write) better than Tomamoto and Rina. *Evil Smirk*

The truth is that I like these two guys; and I hate to see two talented artists go after each other's throats. And now, I must continue working on my cartoons. Update: As for Kirbopher; I think he's a really talented animator and Voice actor, but I'd wish he would quit using YTMND and 4Chan Memes as joke material.

I happen do enjoy some of Kirb's work, thanks ^^
It is sad, but I think if they just start ignoring each other, things will work out in the end.

The ironic thing is, I like his stuff too; but I'd wish he'd quit using internet memes as jokes. They were only funny on YTMND. However, you do make a good point.

I admit that egoraptor is a good and a funny voice actor. Rtil is also good at voice acting. If he wasnt much of a voice actor, he wouldve had other people to do all the acting for him. I mean, i personally like the personality he gave to one of his characters at Project Freetown: Metropolis Circuit, through his voice. You should hear one of his funny speeches as well, where he imitates a boring city hall man with hall echos and everything.

Sure i dont like to see a conflict between them both either, but honestly, all rtil ever did was criticizing egoraptors work for not living up to original ideas and for relying on to overused video game jokes. All the kids out there love watching all that, but what hurts rtil is that many original flashes with original ideas are set aside or not being discovered, and are rather replaced with overrated video game flash parodies. He wants the best out of artists of today by telling them to work on being creative in the 2D field and animation as well, and not just achieve fame by ripping off games again and again and again and again. Therefore you see, all this isnt really personal. Hes just letting the readers know how things are looking in his perspective. So yeah, no beef.

You said a mouthful there; and I agree with that mouthful.
