Aww cool didn't even know this was happening it was really disappointing to get to the end of season 2 and find out it had been cancelled way before I had watched it all, and the fact it's coming back with 25 episodes is great because it should mean they don't have to rush the plot.

Looks like Woody Woodpecker's not alone here.

And like Woody Woodpecker, unless this was done because it was a labor of love for old school slapstick comedy, which NEITHER OF THESE ARE, it wasn't needed, necessary, nor being begged for unlike any current anime out there you can name (that I won't.) weebs love to obsess over and whatnot.

In short, the stigma against Western fare is only furthered by this BS. And it saddens me plenty.

And it's all WB-owned specials. So you could have seen, among others, The Leprechaun's Christmas Gold, The Little Drummer Boy, Book II - and one of my personal favorites, The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus.

Nice! These are the specials nobody thinks about!

Who are you and what have you done with Popeye?

I wish I knew.

Are beards fucking problematic now? Why is Bluto clean shaven?

And why does Popeye have hair? And why does the animation look worse than the Woody Woodpecker revival?

He also has a whistle for god's sake!

It's like a horrifying combination of everything wrong with current US animation, cartoons that look like the bastard offspring of Go-Animate parodies and modern western blob cartoon parodies.

It's like every modern animation stereotype come to life.

No wonder people bitch about animation these days if this is what creators are trying to pass off as "entertainment".
 
It looks even worse than CalArts beanface shit, although just accidentally, Popeye's actual head has a bean-ish shape to it.

Still, it's far worse than even the Hanna-Barbera version.

It's sad when even mediocre Hanna-Barbera remakes of shit from 30 years ago are venerable classics compared to the garbage currently being produced.

Hell, at least they kept true to the designs in the 70s.

Son's another story, but even that comes off as more dignified compared to this nightmare.

This is like saying "Mickey And Elsa Have A Picnic With Spiderman And Mickey Hurts His Foot And You See A Disgusting Deviantart-style Closeup of His Bleeding Foot and Spiderman Gives Him A Painful Injection with A Giant Needle- Cartoons For Kids" would be better if the characters were just very slightly more on model.

Most of the design changes don't even make sense. The most obvious is why would you get rid of Bluto's beard?

I can sort of understand Popeye's corncob pipe, since the tobacco thing, or maybe even that kids wouldn't even recognize a corncob pipe these days. It's hardly been connected to smoking for least 50+ years, though, since he only whistles with it or even sucks down spinach. Even that just seems silly, though.

The Bluto thing just takes any badness out of the character's appearance. That was a bully beard and should have been kept.

It just looks like such dog vomit that it's just going to be no good, though, and should just be ignored, like the Power Puff remake. It will be gone soon enough.

The best I'm sure they're hoping for is parents being that clueless to give their phones to toddlers to watch this crap anyway.
