How do we bring back Popeye for the modern age?

Make Alice the Goon transgender

Let Genndy make his movie

Curb your enthusiasm might work, popeye was always talky

Make an adult show for streaming.

What if we took away his pipe and replaced it with a whistle while making him into a kid! We could also make Olive Oyl look younger by getting rid of her breast\hips.... Never mind.

Make popeye a pipe-smoking musclebound buff tomboy girl. Any Forums will take care of the marketing.

Popeye and Bluto are gays

I don’t get how his pipe works

That's pretty much it for Olive Oyl then.

Make him black and a woman

Leave him as he is. He recently got a Switch game and they didn’t need to update him.
If that Cuphead Netflix cartoon succeeds we can get something similar with Popeye.

A shame there were about a million other things wrong with it to the point Youtube personalities are getting rich riffing on it.

>Popeye in Space!
Would be fun but only if they stick to a strict 50's sci-fi aesthetic.

It'll be an open relationship

would the sea witch then become a space witch?

She’s trans now

Yes and Bluto would be a space pirate
olive and castor hire Popeye to pilot their spaceship

Popeye meets Cuphead

That Switch game had some things that could've worked but they fucked up so much in execution

I don’t think there’s anything more you can do with Popeye in the 21st century.
That’s ok. Some franchises weren’t meant to last forever.

Evidently Popeye has gone to space already

The only time Popeye has worked in the last 20 years was the IDW comics. Also, I guess The Quest For Pappy was pretty good, even if it was a blatant pilot for a series that never happened.

Ive been reading the Fantagraphics sunday strips and its pretty entertaining.

I never read the IDW comics. Were they good? I figured they were just a cheap cash in

>I figured they were just a cheap cash in
Quite the opposite - Roger Langridge was the perfect writer for the ongoing, and he even included somewhat obscure characters who hadn't been used in literally decades. The Mars Attacks one-shot was weird, but it REALLY worked because both the writer and artist for that leaned into the feel of the original comic strip. I'm not sure about the "Classic Popeye" that reprinted all the Bud Sagendorf stuff, but I heard it was okay.
