This might be a new low for cartoon reboots. It's certainly the worst one I've seen yet. Look how they massacred my boy.
>No pipe
>Blonde hair on Popeye
>No beard on Bluto
>Cheap, shitty animation
>Bluto now wants spinach, not Olive Oyl
>NO DIALOGUE WHATSOEVER
>NO SPINACH MUSIC
>NO BEATING UP BLUTO
The next time you feel pissed about a shitty reboot, just remember it could always be much, much worse.
>Bluto now wants spinach, not Olive Oyl
>NO DIALOGUE WHATSOEVER
>NO BEATING UP BLUTO
What in the fuck even happens in this cartoon?
holy fuck.
Oh yeah, I forgot one.
>Bluto sneaks around and avoids physical confrontation
How is he even holding that steam whistle? His mouth clearly doesn't extend under his nose over to the other side like the classic design.
>>Bluto now wants spinach
It's commercially available
Popeye has crossbred his spinach with hemp.
>no beating up Bluto
Then what's the fucking point?
Why is he even carrying a whistle in his mouth at all times?
What does he get out of that?
Is it his rape whistle?
I'm shocked he's not growing asian beans
I'm still pretty sure Bluto doesn't have a beard because the people behind this didn't want to associate their soibeard with bad people
I guess he's a boatswain now rather than a sailor.
It reminds me of the design in this bit, except not parody.
judging by this pic alone it'll has the same quality as those Elsa Spiderman kids videos
Well, that explains why Olive is eyeing it that way.
It's surgically attached to his cheek.
Popeye has hair now? Ugh...
>NO SPINACH MUSIC
Double ugh.

Best 60's Popeye short right here.
Sea captains typically carry whistles. It's probably the least offensive change this cartoon made. If you can't show Popeye with his pipe, a whistle is the best alternative.
IIRC, there's also a CGI movie when Popeye was voiced by Tom Kenny. How bad is that then?
It's stillborn no thanks to Sony dropping it in favor....that movie...
Is this even real?
never heard of it
It is very real and very official.

>Bluto now wants spinach, not Olive Oyl
Hmmm... Something about this makes me wonder why they wrote Bluto this way. I can't quite put my finger on why they made this decision but... hmmm...
was dropped for the emoji movie. The trailer looked decent, I think Genndy was involved.
Also, it kinda makes sense. Popeye always did make that whistling sound out of his pipe when he sang his theme song. Using an actual whistle isn't something that would bug me.
But literallyy everything else is garbage
Seeing attempted rape make peepee hard, and want to rape when grown up.
So Bluto wants to rape spinach now?
it looks even worse in motion
The whistle represents everything wrong with the reboot. It shows how neutered and sterilized the show is now in order to be non offensive.
>Sneak peek ends just before the obvious spinach beatdown
Popeye had been softened up since the days of Famous Studios. The only time he was truly violent were Fleschier and Zukor Era shorts, and Thimble Theater comics.
Even if you take that into account you can still have Popeye and Bluto competing for Olive's affection without physically assaulting her. Some of the best original shorts are just the two of them trying to fuck each other over to impress Olive.
The objectively best shorts tend to be Sinbad the Sailor, one ones where Bluto plays the role of villain. He gets better songs and lines there than regular shorts.
Oh, I agree. Sinbad is peak Popeye. Still, if you HAVE to tone Bluto down for modern audiences, there are better ways to do it than making him a spinach thief. That's just lame.
I can live without the pipe, but Bluto should at least have had a stubble.
For a second I thought it was fan art, but it’s real. Popeye cal arts style
Sneed
Also Paramount Studio shorts like
This might be a new low for comic adaptations. It's certainly the worst one I've seen yet. Look how they massacred my boy.
>Popeye has an obsession with spinach for some reason
>said spinach is now the source of his strength
>Popeye is no longer just a "tough guy" who enjoys getting into fights, but is instead basically Superman
>the down-to-earth setting is ditched to make it into another generic wacky cartoon
>most of the supporting cast are given very minor roles or are simply dropped completely
>no more unique stories, 90% of the time it's just "Popeye saves Olive from Bluto"
>story arcs are gone
>it's too 3-dimensional, part of the charm of the original is that the characters were always drawn from the same two angles
The next time you feel pissed about a shitty adaptation, just remember it could always be much, much worse.
The price of political "correctness"
Popeye already loved spinach in the comic, he just didn't need to eat it to win fights.
wtf
That looks awesome. What a shame.
You sure Bluto wants Pop-Eye's can of spinach and not his can of soi milk? All this sounds awful.
Peak comedy is brand twitter trying to stay family friendly when replying to trolls. This one twitter screenshot is more hilarious then the entire nu-Popeye series.
Why do you care about Popeye?
>I'm still pretty sure Bluto doesn't have a beard because the people behind this didn't want to associate their soibeard with bad people
I actually have a theory as to why Bluto doesn’t have a beard.: The article mentions how these are meant to be funny in Malaysia;Malaysia has a huge Muslim population;they don’t want some kid to wonder why the bad man in the Popeye cartoon had a beard like their daddy and then feel offended and turn of the video.
Well at least he actually got something out other than fading into obscurity
I'm still mad.

Even as a 2 year old, I liked the old popeye
Damn right. I still laugh my ass off at the one where she's a nurse and they try and fail to injure themselves so she'll look after them
I appreciate what you're going for but thing is the classic shorts are still great in their own merits regardless of how much they differ from Segar's strips. I can't say the same for these new cartoons with shoestring budget and barely anything to hold your attention. Show any kid these then show them the originals and see which one they stick with.
Without Popeye, there would be no Mario.
Who thought it was ok to do this to a very much beloved and legendary figure such as popeye, This makes thundercats roar look like a great homage.
Finally, a Popeye for the "Sonic" audience.
It's just the modern equivalent of the 90s "make every IP into babies". No groundbreaking selling out, just run of the mill.
Spinach was only introduced into the comic post-Segar.
>it's called "Popeye for Kids"
>implying I didn't watch the real shit when I was a kid
I could draw better than that when I was 9. This is sub-Deviant Art quality trash.
Not enough toxic masculinity in it for you, incel? Go watch Death Wish again, this is for children.
>adding in a child and some stupid LOLSORANDUM animal
this is a disgrace to the original popeye.
this is toy channel tier lol
No one's gonna fall for this, you know
>Thinking there's actually a good reason
They took off the beard to make it easier to draw. There's no other reason. It was pure laziness
Did they hire Sonic fan artists to animate this? It sure looks that way.
It's just to make him look more juvenile you autists.
