Popeye's 90th Anniversary Web Series

[Mariposa Electrique]

We should be happy that Popeye isn't a steampunk, gender queer, polyamorous intersexed individual in a relationship with a goat, Olive, and Bluto.

reruns, you silly.
It played all mornings before school, and had fun strip comics you could buy for few bucks. He was a huge thing in the 90s

They still sell the shorts in dvd collections at dollar stores.

cause it's a good series. It's super dated but it's got guys punching eachother in the most violent and creative ways, all kids love that

 

[Kirito]

The appeal of popeye was him being a grumpy fucker, eating nasty food and then kicking asses. I don't understand this

 

[DogEatDogFood]

The exceptional individuals that are behind this shit had to defend their own show from the criticism on their own Facebook pages. Who the fuck puts money on this shit? And most importantly why? Even the modern shitty reboots put some fucking effort on the animations. Popeye doesn't even punch fucking Brutus!!!!!

 

[Nobunaga]

Atleast the pink pather hasnt been fucked over right?

I love the go to excuse for almost any reboot of older shows is that its for an new generation of fans to justified it's existence. This show has almost all the worst aspects of western animation from limited go animate levels of animation to overall bland designs all it needs is to say it was help made by some artist how has been no Tumblr too much and that is all.

 

[Trans Fat 41g]

...This is the LAST thing I expected to be remade, given the outrage mentality behind his 21st-century reception.

"Oh! This show is aimed for the new generation!"

Oh, go fuck yourselves you sanctimonious Tumblr refugees, there are people who know EXACTLY why this was rebooted and that you knew how we'd react to it.

 

[UnKillFill]

Watched the clip in the OP, why is Bluto trying to steal Popeye's pot?

3) Latin america. Seriously those fuckers are as obsessed with old murican cartoons as they are modern jap cartoons

Certainly. Top Cat is huge in Latin America, I mean HUGE. It's a cult show and it has been that way for decades. This 2012 Argentina-Mexico production was one of the top grossing films in Mexico.

"It's to introduce Popeye to new genration of fans"
... show them older cartoon and if you find something problematic have a talk with your kid about how things were different then?

This is just cheap and poinless and people are getting tired of too much reboots.

 

[Tragi-Chan]

So he doesn’t hit people, he doesn’t smoke, he doesn’t talk, no one’s romantically pursuing Olive and apparently they’re all kids now, despite the fact that they’re still sailors. Did anyone involved in this give a single fuck about any aspect of the original? It just looks like it was made based on the description of someone who saw the cartoon once thirty years ago.

How's about we make this thread about another shitty, badly animated reboot of an old cartoon as well?

 

[sasazuka]

lol kids these days don't even know who Popeye is.
Growing up I only knew Popeye as the guy on spinach cans.

Aside from the late-1970s/early-1980s Saturday morning cartoon, the Robin Williams movie, and the Nintendo arcade game, I also knew about Popeye as a kid because of the candy cigarettes which I believe are still being sold today but as "candy sticks" and they changed the format of the box to look less like a cigarette carton.

BRs fucking adore Woody. Shit is wild.

Yeah Brazil has a huge hardon for Woody. The live action movie, which tanked in the states, was a massive hit there.

 

[PS1gamenwatch]

I liked it when there was an E coli scare in spinach:

 

[StarkRavingMad]

Okay, that new web series is cancer. It seriously looks like one of those disturbing "YouTube Kids" videos made by creepers. What the fuck.

Anywho, I loved Popeye as a kid. I remember when Cartoon Network used to show a lot of classic cartoons, and that's how I found out about Popeye.

Also, just putting this out there ... Years ago, Sony Animation Studios was going to make a Popeye movie. They canceled it ... For the Emoji Movie.

Here was the test footage they released. It looked so promising:
