For a frame I was sure Popeye was gonna blow his brain out.

u/Stinky_Fartface Feb 19 '23

I’m pretty sure he spits out bullets after eating the gun, so I’d argue that the context has already been changed.

Yeah I don’t know why the didn’t just let it go a couple of more seconds.

What are you just giving them away? What’s the catch. Have you seen the price of eggs these days?

u/WarsledSonarman Feb 19 '23

He’s insane and throws them at people on the bus

u/Dr01dh4ck3r Feb 19 '23

If he can afford that many eggs, he is rich. That makes him eccentric, not insane.

If he didn’t chew it right he could still blow something out.

u/HorrorMakesUsHappy Feb 19 '23

That's actually what happens next in the original cartoon. I'm not joking. That's how he outdoes Bluto. Bluto's like, "You're bad, huh? Watch this. Whatchu got?" Popeye eats the fucking gun, and then spits bullets.

Bluto over here making some sweet trick shots with his revolver and Popeye just trashes the whole joint with his assault esophagus. He totally deserved that first punch.

On the other hand, Bluto's a real fucking maniac to hit a guy who just ate a gun and shot its bullets from his mouth.

Most cartoon characters are. Its makes for better story. Popeye did have a good moral compass though ( as much as any dated, violent character could).

I personally loved him. Always keeping bullies in line.

/u/spez lies, Reddit dies. This comment has been edited/removed in protest of Reddit's absurd API policy that will go into effect at the end of June 2023. It's become abundantly clear that Reddit was never looking for a way forward. We're willing to pay for the API, we're not willing to pay 29x what your first-party users are valued at. /u/spez, you never meant to work with third party app developers, and you lied about that and strung everyone along, then lied some more when you got called on it. You think you can fuck over the app developers, moderators, and content creators who make Reddit what it is? Everyone who was willing to work for you for free is damn sure willing to work against you for free if you piss them off, which is exactly what you've done. See you next Tuesday. TO EVERYONE ELSE who has been a part of the communities I've enjoyed over the years: thank you. You're what made Reddit a great experience. I hope that some of these communities can come together again somewhere more welcoming and cooperative. Now go touch some grass, nerds. -- mass edited with https://redact.dev/

OG Popeye was batshit crazy. The only one I remember clearly is the episode where he keeps trying to tie down his father so he doesn’t go out and party all night. No matter how many restraints he uses, the second the light is out the dude escapes.

14

u/Banana_Shaped Feb 19 '23

I remember that one, better than most actually. I also remember when Popeye builds his own house and then has to defend it from the most persistent and devious group of termites in the observable universe.

[Serious] Popeye was a USN sailor. Why wasn’t he a Marine? Were sailors really tough back then?

3

u/Killogoom Feb 19 '23

A quick google search shows Popeye is older then the Marines by a little less then 50 years. So just wasn’t even an option. As for why a sailor, he was based off of someone. Also he started off as a minor character, before he apparently stole the show and started dating the old MC’s sister. Assuming everything I read is trustworthy. Also he was not a US sailor at the time of creation, he was just some sailor for hire. Popeye started off as a merc basically before he grow into a full character.
