Posting my most recent animation. I worked on this for months, on and off (few minutes to hours some days but i also took long breaks from blender due to vidya). I posted it on reddit and i was actually pretty shocked it only received ONE upvote. I think i would have preferred if it got downvoted into oblivion. I think it's pretty good considering my previous animations were some terrible walk cycles and some camera animations. Idk why it was basically ignored. What do you think about it is it really that bad? https://files.catbox.moe/ighrfj.mp4
I did the modelling, rigging, animation. Even sound mixing in Blender (which kinda sucks)

The hands and feet are like stop motion, not something you’ll see in people. Cube didn’t fight back, unnecessary stretch and pull. Deadpool grabbing cube needs more work, if you want this to be a joke scene it can work but add better sounds. Cube flew odd angle which will not hit the sword but it looked so unnatural when teleport to the sword. Deadpool didn’t move to the sword correct position to go back into the slot. Sword teleport to its origin was unnatural. Yes walking needs to be fix, this is deadpool you have some creative freedom when he walks.Here’s some tips from an expert:1) Do position last and work your way to first. This can help with harder animations like you experienced. Key frames would need to be adjusted but not impossible to fix.2) If you’re going to not show the legs when walking then don’t care about the legs only the thighs since those would be visible.3) Fast animations like grabbing is fast. You see it in every animation, the audience doesn’t care about the seconds between them unless it’s important.4) Video editing can help cut some of the work. You could make the cube appear digitally instead of just popping into existence. Video editing makes things a bit easier than just waiting extra hours on rendering.5) Face animations needs to be shown, cube is annoying to deadpool.Hope that helps.

It's fairly unremarkable. Kind of neat for a beginner's project. But could use improvement in just about every aspect.
If I saw this on reddit(I don't use reddit), I would give it a pity like. I see the effort is there. You still have a ways to improve though. So just get started on the next animation, and think about what you can do better.

This was bad. 20 seconds until anything of interest is on screen. If you need the title, combine it with the high shot, make it 5 seconds. Tighten up every moment, and do try a way faster grab movement.

lots of neat shit in here, but there's zero momentum so it looks boring. when you punch or jump the momentum carries into the motion. when there's no impact everything is flat

Your animations lack arcs and anticipation/momentum like the other guy said. The leap towards the cube for example, where he sorta levatates to it in a straight line. Jumps should be in arcs.
Hand, foot, and face articulation are all critical to bringing life to your characters. Its all secondary motion. Our personalities really come through these subtle motions. There absence is noticeable.
Oh, and the lack of likes can also be a lack of viewer retention. Keep your establishing shots short and sweet, unless there's a narrative reason to do otherwise.
I can see effort and sovl though. And its good for a first project. Keep experimenting while keeping momentum and secondary motion/character acting in mind and you will go far.

I think my next animation is already shaping up to be better, but it also has a lot more keyframes and is more tedious to do. But i am loving it, i was getting tired of the previous one. Making the movie opening dance sequence has been my goal since i finished this model. Finally started working on it, all i've done so far has been practice for this. Gotta go away for a week and won't be able to blender which sucks though

I don't know what it is about the shoulders, maybe they're too wide, too robotic, idk, but they ruin everything to me, I hope somebody with more human proportions and realism can give you more accurate and useful insight, talking about your animation threads, I've been lurking for quiet some time and seeing your posts, for context
