RE: Thought Bubble Thursdays #3 - The One Where We Talk About Legacy
For many years Pop-Eye was our great spinach eating sorta super-hero who battled the evil bully Bluto. Ah but his legacy is fading fast. For me the super hero with a lasting legacy is Superman, but even the super guy is showing his age.
Superman feels like a relic of an earlier time. No offense meant, man. I feel like the ideals he stands for and the way he goes about things aren't suited in the current socio-political climate. Now that you mention it, I feel Popeye is even more relevant than Supes. The little guy standing up to the big bully, I think that concept is still very much relevant to this very day. Olive is a bit outdated, but Popeye's ideals? I feel like hackers and anarchists live up to the ideals that the sailor man stood for.
