G.F. Hughes

shortly after Popeye entered the public domain several shitty horror movies about the character were made. my friend group watched one and it was so, so bad and such a waste of everyone's time that we all went "can we please just watch a normal popeye short like one episode" and it was literally like eightfold a more enjoyable use of our time. we now watch popeye shorts after every movie night

"By saving the girl whose death is the center point of the story you exist in, you collapsed the narrative inward on itself with no reason to exist, booting you out of the story into the imperfect banality of the real world. Ironically, by doing what you thought would be your highest purpose, you lose everything including your reason to be" sounds like some deltarune shit but its about laura palmer

SEPARATE EPISODE FROM HER OBSESSION WITH PASSING MANIFESTING AS AN AWFUL SKIN PARASITE BTW THE THEMES ARE JUST CONSTANT

I know the trans allegory is completely unintentional in My Life As A Teenage Robot but that episode where she dates a guy who only likes her when she's performing perfect human femininity and is constantly afraid of the "scary robot" part of her is going to pop out hits way too close to home
