“As a lifelong Popeye fan, Iu0026#39;ve been waiting for a faithful revival of this iconic character for 20 years. Unfortunately, Popeyeu0026#39;s Revenge is a complete betrayal of the character and his universe. This film completely distorts Popeye and Olive Oyl, turning them into violent murderers-something that goes completely against everything theyu0026#39;ve represented for decades.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eu003culu003eu003cliu003ePopeye, once a symbol of strength, bravery, and love, is turned into a psycho killer. This film takes everything that made him a beloved hero and turns him into a villain, making him unrecognizable.u003c/liu003eu003c/ulu003eu003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eu003culu003eu003cliu003eOlive Oyl, who has always been Popeyeu0026#39;s strong, supportive, and independent love interest, is now an active participant in the violence. Instead of being the quirky, kind-hearted woman we know, she helps Popeye commit murder in ways that completely stray from her true character.u003c/liu003eu003c/ulu003eu003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eu003culu003eu003cliu003eThe film tries to shock viewers with violence and horror, completely disregarding the heartfelt adventures and humor that Popeye was originally known for.u003c/liu003eu003c/ulu003eu003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAdditionally, the film uses copyrighted elements that should not have been included:u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e1.
