Why is Popeye so great?
As a child growing up I watched Popeye, as did a lot of youngsters. We enjoyed the classic battles between Popeye and Brutus. How Popeye would gain enormous strength from spinich and defeat his enemies.
I ask the question as an adult. Why was Popeye considered so great in the first place? I mean, he was really nothing more than a weak punk who took streroids in the form of spinich to attain power.
C'mon everyone knows that wasn't really spinich in those cans.
No one could possibly get that big and strong that quick without using roids.
Brutus should of been praised, not Popeye. Brutus was always big and strong and he knew what he wanted in life. He wanted Olive Oyle and Popeye stood in his way so he did what anyone would do if there are obsticles in their way...they move em to the side.
Popeye knew he couldn't compete with Brutus so he hooked up with Balco and got a case of roids, a.k.a. spinich.
Where's the U.S congress probe on Popeye? Leave Barry Bonds alone!
Popeye on roids i won’t believe he just need spinach to bring out his altar ego ( bi polar) the original blond chick from heroes
It’s the same story with every character we loved as kids. Batman is a para-police. Superman is a phony. Dare Devil is a marginal resented vengeful looser.
If you look at them from a twisted psychological perspective, they’re all awful characters. Even Mickey Mouse.
They are nice stories. The basic plot, good against bad and the good wins. When you’re a kid, you don’t analyze so deep. Batman punishes the bad guys by itself, he’s morally superior and he knows what’s best. And so does Popeye. Under the law, they’re both criminals and should be locked in jail for life.
But you have to be a grownup to understand that.
By the way, I love spinach.
Zorak says, "Are you remotely serious? Why knock down one of this country’s great cartoon icons? I can joke around and be satirical, but, come on, knocking Popeye like this? Popeye was already a strong sailor even without his Spinach. Popeye has also performed feats without eating Spinach. The cartoon promoted eating healthy foods to kids, not any type of "enhancement drug". I think you are reading things that just aren’t there. Bwaa Haaa Haaa???"
i used to like Popeye to(wen i was a kid) lol now i am teen
i was obsessed really lol
well i think the spinach part was for kids eating spinach
…i think the real purposed of this cartoon is to encourage the children to eat vegetables…coz most of the children now didn’t want to eat vegetables…so they out a cartoon like this…
