>Pluto getting fucking rekt.

Why is Popeye so based?

That's not Bluto that's Sinbad.

mrw watching this entire webm

>Beat-em-ups will never have gameplay as churazy as a Popeye episode

It hurts.

>STANDING HERE I REALIZE

Shrooms mode from Rise of the Triad. The sheer visual and gameplay distort that it gave you was unheard of for it's time or beyond. It set the bar for what could and what will be expected. Any game you played after that you'd half expect the same but no game ever had the guts to try it.

is this anime

Spread shot, contra. Anything else is grandchild tier.

Its what anime wishes it was.

Dat drill punch tho

QUAD DAMAGE

Platinum Popeye game when?

>AssCreedIV sailing around the cartoon world
>God Hand combat system
>MGR over the top QTEs
>Robin Williams ghost as the voice of Popeye

Well it was the main inspiration for the "grandfather of anime" Osamu Tezuka so in a way anime is this

AND THEY RUN WHEN THE SPINACH COMES UP

TOOT TOOT!

>>Robin Williams ghost as the voice of Popeye
FUND IT

i was obsessed with Popeye when i was a kid. to the point where i ate my grandmother's boiled spinach.
yup, Popeye and Felix the Cat.

honorary anime

>0:45
I can't be the only one who tried that as a kid

During the Depression Popeye made Spinach the third most popular food among kids. Even today as an adult I want to eat it more from watching the shorts.

>Those backgrounds
>That animation

Why don't cartoons try anymore?

>mfw I was too poor to buy canned spinach and used bread with ketchup on it as a substitute when I pretended to be Popeye

Well that was the goal

>troops need meat in ww1
>then depression
>Okay we need propaganda that tells kids to stop whining and eat spinach, here is ten trillion dollars
And that's why Popeye is what it is

Because its easy now.

this happened well before the US entered WW2 though

I'll gladly fund you Tuesday for a Platinum Popeye game today

Man, One Piece ripped Popeye off hard

Good thing I didnt mention ww2

Should have ripped off the sexy female designs too

...

Same reason you can't support a family by working in a factory the way they did back then. It's cheaper to let some Chinese kids make quantity over quality

They have smaller budgets than they did back then, and a much bigger audience

I mean, if you think modeen animation is bad, look at Hannah Barbera

Thanks globalism.

Spread in contra

Jesus, not even forces of nature can do shit against Popeye

Animation today is ghettoized, truth be told it went downhill back in the 50's

>Hannah Barbera
Hey man Hanna Barbera was legit up until the 2000s.

>Casually catches lightning out of the air and throws it into the ocean to drown

Could Popeye beat up Goku?

...

Holy crap.

This or Devil Trigger always feel fucking rad to activate

No they werent, even as a kid the constant background and animation reuse was obnoxious

This would make a fucking excellent level.
>mfw I got A Soul Can't be Cut playing in the background

Compare Hanna Barbera in the 50's and 60's to animation from the 30's and 40's, they're comparatively a slide show.

Im still surprised the cuphead guys are replicating that too.

Look up gameplay footage from the dragon boss fight to see it for yourself.

Was Popeye just a mass shill created by the Spinach Industry?

it also obeys his commands

Popeye is fucking GOAT. Can you imagine a game on the same level of cuhray as Popeye? Godlike.

I know they did that alot but there are so many fucking gems that got released by them

>Swat cats
>Adams Family
>Space Ghost Coast to Coast
>Bill and Ted
>Johnny Bravo
>Powerpuff girls ect

BTFO

>Popeye character action where Spinach is the devil trigger

i agree. tom and jerry was the best in 40s.

STANDING HERE

Popeye punched the shit of the sea to calm it wow

What if Miyamoto really got to make that Popeye game instead of Donkey Kong all those years ago? Would vidya be irrevocably different now?

...

...

Fleischer studios are almost solely responsible for all the animation we have today. Without them we wouldn't have anime or rotoscoping(which led to mocap)

Popeye would be the face of gaming

Hunter in Thunder Force

ABSOLUTELY. SAVAGE.

Fleischer Superman is still basically the only good Superman.

wew

SAVAGE

Yes. The chain of events that created say, Sonic the Hedgehog would have been erased, platformers would play much differently. And because Sonic is gone, say goodbye to Crash, Spyro, Ty the Tasmanian Tiger, and basically every other radicool animal mascot character. Nintendo would also be a much smaller brand, their titles could possibly be even a bit more niche. Also, they might not have gained the money/recognition necessary to create the NES and save video games from the great crash.

Or alternatively, Popeye becomes the face of vidya games.

>Old animation

Technology might have advanced, but you can't substitute good old fashioned hardass work.

...

I love Popeye but I don't think it would've had a good outcome to video games, Mario is the face of video games because Nintendo made their own character, Popeye in the end is still licensed and probably couldn't be used as liberally as Nintendo can do whatever they want with Mario.
That said I think at some point over the decades Nintendo should've made a true Popeye platformer.

Fuckin rekt

man in the shorts he just tries to rape / kill her

rekt

OLIVE BTFO
CAN SHE RECOVER

EDIT: SHE CANNOT

Wow, that man can REALLY be an asshole.

The Coconut Powerup.

absolutely destroyed.

Day one buy for me even if the gameplay is total shit

he tried to literally kill Olive Oyl's dog with his bulldog then beat up Popeye when he told him to stop it

youtube.com/watch?v=KQd8eXtQ0Cs

Holy fuck. Did that spinach guy just murder that fat nigga?

How old is Popeye supposed to be? He's like a buff old man. Though Olive Oyl doesn't look terribly young either.

Have you never seen Popeye?

In the shorts Popeye is at least 40 years old, Olive is also supposed to be a spinster nearing over the hill status, how grotesque and weird she and Popeye are is what I think makes them so memorable since other cartoon characters from then were furries or supposed to be cute. But then here's this uneducated short middle-aged sailor with one eye, no fuckin teeth, mumbles, deformed muscle arms who's main girl is a freakish squawking scarecrow.

>drags her away on the ground

He's only 15 but being a sailor makes you age prematurely

Give this goyim a medal.
Also, get ready for all those Crash apologists who think Crash is not a Sonic clone.

Man, Popeye was anime as fuck

why can't comics be this based anymore?

>yfw you realize olive oil goes with spinach

Goddamn that 3d effect looks good.

honestly i think its the tanooki suit. ive liked it ever since i was kind and i dont know why. its weird that a plumber turns into a tanooki to fly and i think thats cool as fuck for some reason.

Nah anime is Popeye as fuck

damn what anime is that bro? epic fight

yeah but they killed the bulldog in the end so everyone was a dick

He could take on a tag team of Goku and Superman without breaking a sweat.

imgur.com/gallery/aEcS0 A list of a few of his feats.

cartoons at the time were a new medium so creativity was high and these guys were only limited by their imagination, as with any long running industry though as time goes on ideas just run out, nothing really dazzles audiences anymore and so on, technology that should actually make things better is just used as a crutch instead of a tool

HA

based popeye. That's fucking hilarious

>Goku knocked out
>Still has SSJ hair
Fake.

ty the fucking tasmanian tigre. one of my favorite series. nobody ever talks about it on here. i loved those boomerangs. and i wanted to fuck the wild western boomathangs. (waifus)
