oh boy, it's that early 80s Popeye cartoon filled with PSAs and Popeye not being allowed to punch people (but kids can see the old 40s shorts on TV and that's apparently completely ok?). John K would probably stroke out if you showed this one to him.
>>154354285There's something WORSE than 60s Popeye? Dear lord...
>>154354285I've tried watching both HB Popeye cartoons several times and despite how much I like the redesigns both are painful viewings. Even the 60's tv series, as bland and watered down as it was, is more enjoyable. Not by much mind you but enough that it was noticeable.
>>154354315SO much worse
Did anyone remember Popeye's Island Adventures? The latest abonimation reboot?
>>154354371Is that the subtitle the youtube series chose? Rough.
I prefer Popeye and Son.
>>154354285this was also the last time Jack Mercer voiced the character before he died. a sad way to go out.
Why did Popeye die out? He used to be an American icon.
>>154354560He went the way of the Lil' Abner
If they ever revive him for cartoons they should go full Segar and no further
>>154354560Once Segar passed away there was nobody at the creative helm for decades. The strips persisted for a time but as they too have been deprieved of worthwhile talents even they stagnated in time. In general alot of people responsible for making Popeye the creative landmark that he was either got fired, moved on, or died. Currently nobody can fill that seat ib a meaningful way. Genndy was our last hope.
>>154354665Agreed. That's what I've wanted for decades really. Same for Dick Tracy, Oop, and Abner.
>>154354285reminder that John K is a turbo retard. he thinks nothing except animators matter. writers are just a hindrance and budget, deadlines, sponsors, content guidelines are meaningless. the animators should be allowed to do anything they want, whenever they want, and the audience has to just eat up whatever they serve them.
but-but I thought once a character falls into public domain, all the awesome media we were being deprived of before would come pouring out of the woodwork.
>>154354285The all-new Popeye hour is shit, but at least it's not Popeye and Son.
Did anything good come out of this character after the Fleischer cartoons?
>>154355199The ride at Universal is fun
Did anyone like the leaked animatic Sony movie?
>>154354285>but kids can see the old 40s shorts on TV and that's apparently completely ok?I would say they were grandfathered in, which is probably why they were still allowed to be shown. But I bet that some scenes were cut or censored, just like what happened with the Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote cartoons.>>154354631Popeye is from being completely forgotten like Lil' Abner. He still continues to get new content even today.
>>154354285Thats why John K entered the industry, to stop shit like this from happening.Once he got exposed as a groomer the industry went to shit.>>154354315The TV shorts that came out of Paramount were actually good, it's bad rap came out of the Jack Kinney produced shorts which are well deserved.>>154354560MeTV Toons made him hyper relevant/mainstream again, he was already mainstream but MeTV Toons made him hyper relevant again, that and the Fleischer estate pushing for the shorts to be viewed again.>>154354712That is the case.
>>154354665
>>154354285This is the Popeye I grew up with.>Popeye not being allowed to punch peopleAre you sure I swear I remember him punching people?
>>154355538>That is the case.No, you autist
>>154355706Yes it is, once he got black listed for being a groomer the industry went to shit.
>>154354285Yeah that's the 80swhere we had 3 Justice League and 2 Spider-Man cartoons where no one was allowed to throw a single punch at all, and every episode ended with a life lesson. Really all the action cartoons of the era were very much not violent in every possible way. And people complain about the current>Woke erawith no concept of an episoide where He-Man tells us that hunting is cruel to animals, or that racism is bad.
>>154354560Interest dies out after a while, especially in an era when a healthy entertainment industry is constantly pumping out new shows over and over again.
>>154354285>John K would probably stroke out if you showed this one to him.Good. The man's an overrated hack *and* a pedophile on top of it.
>>154355242That ride is misleading to every new visitorThose rapids rides everywhere else only sometimes get you wet, or only maybe 1-2 unlucky people. That Popeye ride is designed to get everyone maximum wet 100%. As if they were all dunked in the lake a few times before getting off. No one expects that.
>>154355810He didn't have sex with them until after they turned 18 years old, it's the grooming that was the problem.>>154355819It had the only American Wimpy in existence until a few years ago where a South African company bought them out (they were own by the same company that owned Burger King prier to them), once that bought them that location shut down and now only exist in South African and around 50's locations the UK.
>>154355538>hyper relevant/mainstreamIs he really that relevant again? I know they rerun him with regularity daily but I haven't really seen much of an uptick in Popeye discussion since.
>>154354560Once his face was removed from the chicken fast food restaurant it was down hill.
>>154355924>You are now reminded that Restaurant Brands International could've revive the Wimpy brand by making combo restaurants with Popeyes the same way Yum Brands did with Taco Bell and KFC, but decided not to bother and put all their eggs into Burger King instead while selling Wimpy to Famous Brands to put even more focus on Burger King instead of keeping it to be used in combo restaurants with Popeyes.
>>154355997It's to a market that doesn't spend all day online.
>>154356031Doesn't sound like such a bad idea now since Popeye is long out of the public memory.
>>154354285I vaguely remember this show was mostly Popeye chasing after his identical nephews and stopping them from getting into trouble.
>>154355727Nah
>>154354315Seriously, you never saw it? The Popeye Youtube channel has all of them up nowIt's why I thought the Famous Studios era is overhated; it's a far, far drop from the Fleischer Studios era, but it's still WAY better than the 60s and 70s/80s stuff
>>154356178the Famous era is typical of postwar cartoons in getting increasingly bland and risk-adverse.
>>154356054The Blu-Rays from a couple of years back and MeTV Toons did bring him back to the public memory.The thing is Restaurant Brands International should've never sold Wimpy off in the first place.
>>154355787...And they censored Looney Toons.
>>154355364>I would say they were grandfathered in, which is probably why they were still allowed to be shown. But I bet that some scenes were cut or censored, just like what happened with the Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote cartoons.That's basically what happened, the older Popeyes, the Fleischer/Famous stuff and the 60s stuff, was also rerun in syndication so while maybe they did censor or avoid rerunning certain ones, they were a little more lenient than network shows>Popeye is from being completely forgotten like Lil' Abner. He still continues to get new content even today.This. After Lil Abner ended and Capp died, the Lil Abner stuff was basically gone. It almost got a revival but it didn't end up happening. Popeye's comic still continued on and there was usually some sort of new project with him even as low quality as it sometimes was (case in point that flash cartoon from a few years ago)
>>154356070I do wonder what was with various shows giving a main character triplet nephews like that. Donald Duck, Popeye, and Alvin and the Chipmunks was basically the same thing but from the nephews point of view.Then Bugs Bunny and Kermit had nephews too.
>>154354560I feel that Popeye is way easier to revive then people think.Like hell, do something akin to like an early Dragonball adventure arc. Or something like the Red Ribbon Army-like thing, with Popeye facing down and turning an army of robots and cyborgs into tin cans.
>>154356178>I thought the Famous Studios era is overhatedThose Blu-rays that Warner released a few years ago gave me a greater appreciation for those shorts. There are a few gems there that are as good as the Fleischer era.
>>154356576I think it was probably a way to have kid characters, but not have the adult character look more irresponsible if they were their direct children
>>154354712Alright how many words do you need to say “I want a job in telling artists what to do”?I have dozens of fully fleshed out stories and I’m a John K student. His education was sufficient for that. I never needed you or people like you. You’re just shrieking like a fat masturbator at people living independent and full lives you’re irrelevant to.
