We got plenty of messages on this so let's get it out of the way once and for all! This Popeye game calls Popeye's nemesis 'Brutus'. He's also called 'Bluto'. They're the same character but due to legal issues (that ended up being a mistake) early on in the cartoons they rotated the names back and forth multiple times.

Idk I've never played the game and I don't know how game design code works, that's just my hypothesis ^_^

Yeah I was about to say. Every single one of those insta-deaths you could see the vulture plop down from the sky. So I'm guessing either the vulture's hitbox is just a cylinder reaching from the sky to the floor, or the hitbox appears the moment the vulture spawns, and you don't actually see the model because it needs to animate moving down from top of the map to the ground. Or like someone mentioned, they got lazy and just went [ if (Popeye.xz == Vulture.xz) Popeye.Yeet(); ] to check for collision, so the moment the vulture is anywhere near you regardless of how high up either of the models are, you always end up dying.

Popeye's popularity must really be fading if it was scrapped for an emoji movie

Okay, can I just say I LOVED that joke version of “Superman” at 17:41 lol

Those early popeye cartoons from the 30s to maybe the 50s are absolutely hilarious. If you've never watched them, check them out. Then around the 60s-80s they were not good. I saw that Popeye movie in the theater as a kid and loved it. I've watched it as an adult and...still loved it.

0:32 This isn't black magic. Spinach makes Popeye so strong that he doesn't follow the rules of physics. Physics follows him.

I saw the whole floating heart thing and immediately thought "this is literally just the arcade game but in 3d..."

And it's surprisingly good! And the more I think about it, the more that kind of hilarious slapstick beat-em-up would have been perfect for Popeye as well.

Ummm....this is a remake of the arcade game from 1981.

For certain situations, I don’t think Popeye is dying randomly. I think the game is treating the vulture spawning in as either a massive hitbox or a diving animation that didn’t load. So the vulture being just above you gets registered as a hit.

Correction, Doom is actually only partly 2D (they call it 2.5D, though that's more the Build games, so maybe 2.25D? 🤷) because while the aiming is 2D, you can actually jump over gaps.

5:30 Now you wouldn't think this way, but Thimble Theatre Popeye comics usually gave Popeye a gallion. Nary a steampowered vessel in sight. Sometimes the gallion wouldn't even fit near a regular port so when his friends went on adventures, they had to take a lifeboat away from the port to board the gallion. However that's a moot point because comics with Bluto being after Olive don't really let Popeye be an actual sailor. The whole canon regarding seafaring is a mess, so let's stick with the oldest Fleischer cartoons for the funniest and most accessible portrayals.
