Oh Popeye. The original chemically enhanced super hero. Although he has been blatantly exploited to espouse as anti-Japanese propaganda
I can't be mad at him (don't hate the character, hate the animator.) I always liked watching popeye get that spinach in him and go from helpless weirdo to super-charged ass-kicker. It was cool when they zoomed in on his arms and you'd see little turbines in there, or some other type of super powered mechanism going on. I know I was many of the scores of children forced to get spinach down the hatch in the name of physical prowess and Popeyes name.
But let's keep it real, there's nothing in spinach that will do a thing to help build muscle. Dont get me wrong the healthful benefits of greens and fiber are there, but the low protein content will keep you looking like a vegan hippie walking around berkeley in a tie-dye shirt.
But if there was some of the cream or the clear in the spinach, we're talking a whole different story. So why are we mad that our athletes are doing it today if Popeye has been doing it all along?
But why does he have nipples on his knees? Gynecomastia from all that "spinach" i suppose...
Virtual Posedown: He-Man Vs. Popeye
While Popeye displays great forearms and calves, his complete lack of any other quality body parts and complete absence of proportion and balance does him in. Plus, he's got no conditioning whatsoever! I guess spinach is too high in carbs...
He-man hands down.
