Finally, the Dark and Gritty Popeye Reboot We’ve All Been Waiting All Our Lives For
This isn’t the first trailer for Genndy Tartakovsky’s 3-D Popeye movie, just a little fan-made thing showing the surprisingly stacked sailor man kicking a few asses without the aid of his traditional spinach. But it’s also an indication that maybe, just maybe, an updated Popeye wouldn’t be a supreme waste of Genndy Tartakovsky’s talents. Of course, it’s also all the updated Popeye I personally need, so if Genndy wants to skip Popeye to do something else, that’d still be totally fine with me. (Hey, sorry I overslept, folks. I’ll make up for it.)

Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others.
