Alright, so here's some advice, which hopefully you'll get a chance to read.
First: Don't go on a rant about how "dumb and fucked" your audience is where they can hear you. This will make people pissed off and make even a good submission get a crappy score.
Second: Jealosy has nothing to do with it. You've submitted a work thats not all to great and has made it to the front page where it will get more viewers than before. More viewers means more votes, and in this case, after submitting this and insulting everyone, that means many more BAD votes.
Third: Try using characters that arent just stick figures with rounded bodies and limbs.
Fourth: Lots of blood doesn't make violence any more amusing unless its deployed in a comical way, for example: the Black Knight scene in Monty Python's Search for the Holy Grail.
Fifth: Give people a reason to enjoy it. Having a little kid swing back then appear with a sword in its head isnt all that amusing, in fact its kind of lame. Speed it up a bit, add extra details that make it interesting.
Sixth: Ditch lame, badsounding audio loops. That fountain at the beginning for example, that was aweful, and it looped over and over before the scene change.
Hopefully you can do better next time.

Loaded with style and artistic skill, in that area it was very well done. Even the voices were pretty good, however the it was very short and the punch line wasnt all that good, although it was amusing.

Well, it wasn't bad. But it definitally could have been better. It was set up pretty well but mostly what got me was the annoying freaking midi style version of the actual song that you used to support it. It was hardly noticable during the vocals, but the solos sounded like crap. Plus the characters limbs were kinda wierdish.

This movie is based on a homeentertainment console game with annoying "midi-ish" sounds.
Lucky I didn't title this movie "Hi Quality Music with not-weird limbs Rhapsopdy" eh? ;)

Some people seriously try way to hard to capitalise off of the success of others. This is one of those cases.
The fact that its already been done and the original cant compare aside; the animation isnt that good, the pictures that keep popping up are annoying, and it cuts off midway.

You have potential to be a very good animator, however this flash entirely fails to demonstrate your creativity. The music is good, however not your own, The video itself is well done although it only really depicts a few short key moments within FF6/3, and the video alone is very very short. It would have impressed me had it not been so short that not only did you cut it off before the slightly heavier part of the song but also made it so short that I thought that my computer had encountered an error since its ending was so sudden.

Violent bloody mayhem with a heavy soundtrack and near prefect synching. This film screams style. There are however, a few things that could have been thrown in to make it even more interesting, simple things like he could have used one of those potted plants to take out one of the gaurds. Other than the slight redundancy of some parts it was amazing.

"Only one question, and its not about dads head."
That was easily one of the best things I have ever seen. Your the graphics, though they could be considered simple and stupid have such an impeccable style to them that it makes this movie great. My only question is why THIS isnt front page as I have seen things much less entertaining than this up there before.

That is one of the funniest things I've seen. That could make me laugh even if I had flesh eating herpes. This is easily one of the funniest pieces that I have seen on NG.

Alright, so that was alot better than I had expected first of all. Second...you dudes forgot to mention alot of things...Like the Van Allen belt of radiation around earth that's kept out of our atmosphere by earths magnetic feild. And how NASA has declared as recently as a few years ago that we didnt have the technology to put people on the moon but somehow we did in the 60s/70s. Or the fact that the jets from the lunar lander blew away a bunch of dust yet somehow the footprint was still perfectly made.

Well we were short on time (4 days), and decided to throw in some of the facts that my classmates could understand... I was going to put in the Radiaton belt thing but I ran out of time.
