Comparing the three horror Popeyes

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, I know I already done three horror Popeye review blogs. Not to mention an three way horror Popeye Death Battle Fight Prediction blog as well. I still wanted to further compare the three horror Popeyes in a different way. Considering all three of them made Popeye an slasher villain could make for a rather interesting comparison blog.

I felt the perfect place to start is why these horror Popeyes killing people. In Popeye's Revenge it started with the other kids bullying Popeye due to his deformed features. The parents worried for their children decided to set a fire to his home killing Popeye's parents. This version of Popeye is playing off more Jason than Freddy.

The story goes Popeye died that night. Yet he shows up as a full grown up man wanting revenge. In Popeye the Slayer Man has in my opinion the most likely reason for Popeye to go insane. His wife, Olive was going to public about the factory cutting corners. Which led to her disappearance deeply affecting Popeye.

He kept eating unsafe spinach that led to his body getting mutated. Which also directly affecting his mind as well. In Shiver Me Timbers, exposure to the comet transformed him into a monster. Let's be honest this isn't possible outside the movie. The only kill all three of them done is stomping someone's head. Popeye's Revenge version had to do a few stomps to finish his victim off.

Which is sad compared to the other two Popeyes who destroyed someone's head with just one stomp. Popeye's Revenge version notably shown to be weaker than the other two versions. For example, he crushes an victim head in with both hands. But the other two versions easily out done that. Popeye the Slayer Man version twisted an victim's head 360 while attacking their eyes at the same time.

This version also killed a few victims with crushing their heads in the same matter. Which happened at a much faster rate. Shiver Me Timbers version simply punched through a victim's head. What makes this comparison trickier is two versions of Popeye barely takes damage in their respective movies. I know some might think they're invincible due to that.

Unfortunately that's not how horror movie durability for killers works. We actually gotta see em get harm to get an idea how tough they are. Other than Popeye's Revenge version taking a few punches. He ends up getting mowed to death by Tara. Popeye the Slayer Man version gotten stabbed he was fine. Sadly none of those compares to the insane punishment Shiver Me Timbers version endured.

He survived an meteorite piece rapidly stabbed into one of his eyes. He later kept getting cut up by a huge saw weapon Olive Oyl wielding. Back stories wise I already told Popeye's Revenge version. In Popeye the Slayer Man, Popeye was a sailor that used to be a boxer. In Shiver Me Timbers, he previously was a kind old man that used to be a sailor.

Not much is known of his past though. You can tell you sorta have to fill in the blanks yourself. I also gotta bring up Olive Oyl considering how differently she's done in all three horror Popeye movies. In Popeye's Revenge, she was his sister that wanted revenge as well. She later gotten burnt to death by one of the survivors.

As previously stated, in Popeye the Slayer Man she suddenly went missing. It's obvious the factory silenced her to protect their imagine. In Shiver Me Timbers, she was the final girl that's a goth chick. Surprisingly their "Ash Williams' character for that matter. We went from being family two different ways to being making her Popeye's mortal enemy.

Two versions has some of the signature stuff you expect Popeye to look like. Mostly sharing a similar outfit with the enlarged portions of the arms. Face wise it's close between Popeye the Slayer Man and Shiver Me Timbers version. It's difficult to say which face is closer to the actual character. I would say by a hair Popeye the Slayer Man due to Shiver Me Timbers version survived stabs to the eye.

Not to mention, Popeye often kept his right eye close. Popeye the Slayer Man version has a scar going down the right side of his face. In Shiver Me Timbers' case it was his left eye loss. Popeye's Revenge version doesn't do anything regarding the eyes at all. It's safe to say that version isn't a real sailor either. A major reason why I dislike this version of Popeye a lot.

In terms of speech, Popeye's Revenge version only called out to Tara that's it. Popeye the Slayer Man can talk to a degree. He only repeats saying the famous quote, "I am what I am!!! It's kinda amusing this one line marks the beginning as well as the end of the movie. Shiver Me Timbers version says a couple of Popeye's iconic lines through out the movie.

There's also the matter which one sounds like the character the most. Obviously it's not Popeye's Revenge version. I do think Shiver Me Timbers version is much closer to the character. I personally felt Popeye the Slayer Man version came the closest by far. Sure some stuff he says might be a little tricky to hear.

What you do get to hear does come more off like the actual character. I guess it depends which version you prefer more. The more over the top version in Shiver Me Timbers or a more typical slasher style with the character? Of course I like some slasher villains that talks a lot. Freddy, Ghostface and Chucky among many others for that matter.

Talking wise we get Popeye's Revenge version that barely speaks the entire movie. Popeye the Slayer Man version is a good mix of silent and talks to a degree slasher. Shiver Me Timbers isn't silent at all with his puns working similar to those slasher villains I love so much!!! People expect Popeye to dominate people.

To a degree all three versions does that. Popeye's Revenge version almost comes off like Homelander. Like when a victim tried to escape in a car. This grin he had tapping the glass with his pipe. You know something bad about to happen. Popeye the Slayer Man is more like a guard dog. He simply wants his home being an abandon facility be left alone.

Due to his mutation, he easily dominated an security guy in a fight. You rub him the wrong way you won't survive. Shiver Me Timbers version is a more comical Jason knock off character. He simply does what he wants even killing for it. Like the famous bathroom scene being a good example of this. His mutation resulted in him becoming a monster.

Two versions lacks humanity altogether. I will state before his mutation, Shiver Me Timbers version was a decent old man. Only Popeye the Slayer Man version had some humanity left. This also made the same exact version closer to the actual character. This version maintains a risky usage of canned spinach.

Officially that trait of the character still within copy rights. It's virtually dancing in between possibly getting sue like The Mean One. The actual story it's inspired by isn't even in the public domain yet. I previously stated in another blog that a real canned food factory uses Popeye on their products. Another possible angle to get sue by.

Yes the spinach making him stronger. At the same time, from prolong exposure mutated his body mass. Which also started affecting his mind as well. I do respect the risk of using canned spinach the way they done. Popeye's Revenge version is virtually a cheap Jason knock off. You also could argue how Popeye the Slayer Man technically plays into that as well.

At the same time, I could argue some of his victims. Like people wanting to get rid of the factory or this group led by a crazy boyfriend deserved what happened to me. Some of his victims weren't technically good people either. The only innocent person he attacked was Dexter. His child not trying to spoil the twist fully gets him to stop.

In Popeye's Revenge, Nick tried to sleep with more than one woman. Ultimately he doesn't end up with either lady. Let's be honest some of us glad Popeye taken him out. In Shiver Me Timbers, the two bullies started with him. Which quickly resulted to Popeye punched one of them to death. The other bully later gotten stomped to death.

We finally reached the end of this blog entry. Despite a similar premise, we actually gotten three vastly different horror Popeye movies. Popeye was notably treated differently. Olive Oyl had some rather interesting changes from the actual character. Popeye the Slayer Man stayed the closest to the source material.

Death Battle Fight Prediction: Popeye (Popeye's Revenge) vs Popeye (Popeye the Slayer Man) vs Popeye (Shiver Me Timbers)

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, we just gotten the original horror Popeye trilogy. Obviously Mickey Mouse getting more horror movies this year if you're into that madness. Personally I wanna focus on a timeless character that always meant a lot to me. Inevitably people are going to compare these horror Popeye movies including which horror Popeye wins in a fight.

It's hard to say if I'm ahead of the curve or right in the same lane as other people on this. What I do know is this surprisingly a closer three way fight than I expected. I also know I can't simply call em this movie Popeye or Popeye 1-3. I did figure a rather interesting way that could work a little better. Considering these horror Popeye movies came out from February to April.

I'll be directly discussing them as February Popeye, March Popeye and April Popeye respectively. I will make it clear which month for each Popeye movie down below.. It's not often I do a three way fight prediction blogs. The last one I previously done being an Castlevania prediction blog turned out amazing. I just hope the same could happen for this as well.

February Popeye
Popeye's Revenge

March Popeye
Popeye the Slayer Man

April Popeye
Shiver Me Timbers

It's also not common for more balanced horror fights either. Usually one is simply too unkillable or powerful than their opponents. A major issue I have with Tall Man (Phantasm) vs Pinhead (Hellraiser). I felt this among Frank West (Dead Rising) vs Ash Williams (Evil Dead) among the best balanced fights. Also how often we get a rather unusual situation as this?

Three versions of the same character facing each other no less. Obviously the classic character would destroy all three of them with ease. Thankfully we aren't here for that cartoon insanity. But a different form of insanity entirely!!! Today I will determine which horror Popeye would win this fight. Someone better go hide the spinach!!!

Verdict
April Popeye
Shiver Me Timbers

Let's get the elephant out the room first. There would be a questionable factor for February Popeye. Regarding he just died then suddenly came back killing someone. But considering the strong Friday the 13th influence. I would say after he dies, both the survivors see things. They both recently loss their parents as well as their friends.

Therefore, I have to go by how I view each horror Popeye movie for this prediction blog. Also some aspects of that version aren't fully explained simply there. Like the parents had a dream to rebuild his house they burnt down. Somewhat referencing Freddy Krueger but it doesn't go beyond that. There's also parts of the fog following him for unexplained reasons.

None of them has the ability to teleport. Stats are surprisingly closer than I expected. All three of them can easily destroy people with ease. Two could be compared defeating a stronger victim. The same two versions can crush skulls. Two versions of Popeye stomped a person's head destroying it. Which isn't February Popeye to clarify.

March Popeye ripped a guy's arm off. The same version twisted another victim's head around 360 style. It's safe to say messing people up wise it's close. Then we gotta consider possible strength feats. February Popeye flipped a car with an woman inside to a notable small distance. March Popeye held a car about to drive off in place perfectly.

Stuff like that April Popeye lacks. Considering this is a slasher theme match up. We gotta talk durability or rather the more correct team whose the most unkillable? February Popeye took some punches from a victim. March Popeye gotten stabbed as well as shot to quickly bounce back. Sadly April Popeye easily wins durability advantage.

A huge spoiler for anyone who haven't seen Shiver Me Timbers. April Popeye took the most serious injuries with little to no trouble. We're talking a piece of the comet to the face. Olive Oyl using a huge saw weapon constantly cutting him. Which led to his defeat in the movie. April Popeye is simply on another level.

April Popeye punched destroying a person's head. I could argue how March Popeye could tank that punch. I highly doubt February Popeye could though. You also need to consider two of the three horror Popeyes were mutated. Only February Popeye was simply born deformed to a degree. Which also resulted in his unnatural strength.

March Popeye does have the most confirmed overall experience. How his life was before his current state including being a former boxer. He also been killing people for a lot longer in canon of his story. People often tell what many considered an urban legend around that factory. I strongly felt February Popeye going to fall first.

March Popeye was mutated by prolong consuming unsafe cans of spinach for a long time. I highly doubt April Popeye suddenly becomes stronger eating some of those cans. His final battle with Olive Oyl also proven April Popeye the fastest of the three. He had to constantly keep up with that saw weapon.

March Popeye would also be the best in stealth among em. After all he stalks people around a facility on a daily basis. This factory is quite large in scale. It's more impressive than February Popeye doing stealth outside. Two of these horror Popeyes survived their respective films. March Popeye was technically more killable than April Popeye.

It's debatable how March Popeye could put April Popeye down for good. Especially considering those deep cuts Olive given him. The assumption being April Popeye can heal faster. February Popeye is clearly the dumbest of the three being well another Jason rip off character. April Popeye also shown to be quite observative as well.

This is exactly how he surprise attacked most of his victims. He simply waited for the right opportunities. Therefore, he could figure out how to beat March Popeye. Adding in his superior stats he should eventually win out in a fight. In all honestly, this was surprisingly a lot of fun to do. Don't expect me to do this with horror Mickey Mouse characters I'm not your guy for that.

Winner: April Popeye
Shiver Me Timbers

Shiver Me Timbers (2025)

 Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, today marks the completion of the original horror Popeye trilogy. I know today is April Fools Day but this isn't a joke. Plus it turns out I got something else to discuss while in this review blog as well. Regardless, let's see how this horror Popeye movie stacks to the other two. In all honestly no one expected this to happen but I'm glad it did.

Shiver Me Timbers (2025)

Previously I talked about the trailer or what I thought was the trailer. It was more of a teaser with the full trailer a few weeks later. I seen the actual trailer plenty of times. We get some decent shots of Popeye even before he becomes a monster. The trailer makes it obvious this is a parody horror movie. It isn't meant to be taken seriously.

We don't see much of the kills. What we do see is some of the gore featured in the horror Popeye movie. The title actually has a history connection to the character. Dating all the way back to 1934 a cartoon short with that title came out. I actually recall seeing this particular one years ago. Popeye takes on ghosts among an ghost ship.

Personally I thought that was a cool idea to tie the title of the movie. To that particular Popeye cartoon short with an ! originally in the title. Obviously the plot of the movie vastly different with Popeye being the monster. Speaking of Popeye, this looked the least like the character. He doesn't even have the outfit you expect him to wear. The signature arms aren't presented either.

Somehow this version of people nailed the face insanely well. Some could argue a little better than Popeye in Popeye the Slayer Man. The trailer makes it obvious our final girl going to be Olive Oyl. Simply going by these horror Popeye movies. She went from being his sister to missing wife to just some teenager. All of a sudden Olive treated more differently than Popeye funny enough.

It's sorta like when The Mean One trailer. The original trailer where the narrator points out who this little girl suppose to be within that Christmas story. Almost coming off as a joke or more directly an insult about it. Keep in mind, all of this is just from the full trailer. We still got the actual movie to review here. Setting wise it's similar to Popeye's Revenge mirroring Friday the 13th series.

The trailer also points out Olive's brother Castor in the movie. Popeye the Slayer Man sneaked in Sweet Pea as well as J. Wellington Wimpy cameo. I do like they are taking some of the other Popeye characters. Bluto in particular still within the copy rights for a few years I checked. Of course they had to steal a line from Army of Darkness to start an sex scene again in the same trailer.

Out of the three horror Popeye movies I was the most unsure what to expect with this. Simply going by the trailer you got some possible ideas what it could or couldn't be the actual movie. All of a sudden the movie coming out on April 1st making sense. Parody movies in recent years haven't been great. Shows parodying stuff ended up being way better in comparison.

Also I wanna stop for a moment. Last November all three of these horror Popeye movies gotten announced. It's mind blowing all of them came out close by each other with no delays. I guess Mickey was a little too quick on doing that lol. I'm excited three horror movies introducing Popeye to the horror genre.

I still haven't mention the closest part. All of these movies came forty five years after the live action Popeye movie. You know the famous Robin Williams Popeye movie that's mixed with people. Either you love the movie or you don't care for it. There's no in middle on this matter. All of these Popeye movies are done in live action is crazy to me.

Again I still not got to reviewing the movie yet. I can't help all of this came out of no where. Then again this is Popeye we're talking about after all. Any horror Popeye movie after these three just isn't going to mean the same. Sure some might not suck give or take. Eventually we may go through this again with another character that's gotten into the public domain in the near future.

I guess the world really can't get enough of Popeye!!! What an idea to turn such an iconic hero into a monster. Let alone three different takes of a similar concept. I still felt parts of this feels like The Blob to me. It's almost like Citizen Toxie: The Toxic Avenger IV minus the good side aspect. The same movie had an alternative evil universe counterpart of Toxie named The Noxious Offender.

If you wanna be technical about this. Shiver Me Timbers is going to be somewhat similar to that Toxic Avenger movie. The full trailer made the movie seem like a huge acid trip lol. I also could compare this to the original Scary Movie. Which had a few killers parodying a couple horror movies. Although this might actually be more like Scary Movie 2 lol.

I also gotta mention everyone seems to be going well for Olive. Then all of a sudden how a particular comet made that very night an absolute nightmare. You can tell the people making this wanna go nuts with ideas. I wouldn't be surprise this version of Popeye barely like the actual character at all. Alright fine I'll just go review the damn movie happy?

The real review

I'll try to not spoil much of the movie.

Shiver Me Timbers (2025)

The intro is clearly inspired by The Texas Chainsaw Massacre series. Some weird cheap CGI special effects including the killer version of Popeye. Although it kinda works in that regard almost cartoon coming to life. Each kill kept getting more mess up as the movie went on. Sadly if you're really in it for the kills.

You got to wait almost half an hour for the first actual kill. I would say up to a point it's a little too slow of a pacing. Then suddenly it starts going a little too fast for remainder of the movie. Most of the characters are quite generic. My two favorite characters is Popeye and Lt. Lang respectively. Surprisingly Popeye says some of his famous lines.

Some could argue he sounds better than Popeye in Popeye the Slayer Man. What I wasn't expecting some truly mess up kills. We get some heads destroyed with a few of those ripped clean off. He even pulled a page from Duke Nukem funny enough. In Duke Nukem 3D, Duke rips Overlord's head off. Then takes a dump on where his head used to be.

Yeah this version of Popeye does that. Some horror references were expected. But ultimately came off being a little cheesy in a way that doesn't necessary work with the movie. For a comedy horror movie I didn't think the comedy portion of it that funny. Even aspects of the horror side is rather inconsistent. They obviously used CGI for most of the kill scenes.

We even had someone just standing suddenly dies from a piece of Halley's comet going through their head. I'll give that some credit I didn't expect the actual comet to kill anyone. Also it's not as stupid as a particular accidental death in Popeye the Slayer Man. This felt a lot like Friday the 13th series as expected.

Again I gotta give credit to Popeye the Slayer Man using a setting better suited for the character. Popeye easily destroys people in this movie. He struggles for a little bit to come right back killing em. Except Olive Oyl who gets quite creative to defend herself. This even determine things for my upcoming Death Battle prediction blog.

I will say I do prefer this version of Popeye over Popeye's Revenge version. He also talks the most out of the three horror Popeye characters. I actually could see my brother loving this version of the character a lot. Popeye steals the show for most of the movie. Lt. Lang I instantly liked when we finally get to him.

He was a military veteran that's in a wheel chair. The actor played the character amazingly well. Don't expect top notch acting in horror movies like this. Just lower your expectations a little bit. You won't ever get disappointed probably the best advice you're going to get. This guy gets surprise attack by Popeye.

Keep in mind, he had an shotgun right there in his wheel chair. I'll come right out to say this it also was the most predictable of the three horror Popeye movies. Other than some truly mess up moments. I quickly knew as those moments about to happen someone dying. Popeye was simply smoking while finishing.

When barely anything from the comet landed in his pipe. Yes somehow this caused his transformation. Before that, he was a kind old man that almost gotten hit by a car. I would've been a little upset by that. You kinda wish more stuff to differ parts of the story more. I don't wanna say the movie was boring it's not.

Pacing plays a major role if you like or dislike something. Waiting so long for a first kill you kinda want the rest of the movie to make up for that. Of course there's the final battle that's reminding me heavily of Evil Dead series. Some of that franchise's most famous quotes gets reused too. Parts of the ending implies a sequel could happen.

I recently seen an interview with the main actress and director of the film. The director stated he already has plans to make a sequel. Now two of these horror Popeye movies are possibly working on becoming an franchise. I also can confirm this was much better edited than Popeye's Revenge. I felt just taking killer Popeye scenes than made em into a long video is better than the actual movie.

Which that wouldn't work for Popeye's Revenge. I could see that working with Popeye the Slayer Man though. Shiver Me Timbers isn't the worst of the three in my opinion. I would say I like parts of the movie but that's it. I don't necessary dislike the movie either. It just felt like a lot of huge changes would go a long way here.

Then again all three of them had rushed production periods. I guess the world desperately needed horror Popeyes. I could see people on drugs maybe enjoying this to a degree. I will confirm I do prefer this version of Olive Oyl over Popeye's Revenge version. Ultimately the missing wife version in Popeye the Slayer Man still my favorite.

This felt like let's put some stuff together then called it a day. The entire movie felt like such random ideas for a movie. It's almost a joke yes we know what today is. Even coming out today, I don't think it'll fair well especially against Popeye the Slayer Man. Honestly, it's difficult for me to recommend the movie.

I know I'm being a bit harsh towards the horror Popeye movie. For what it's worth I did find some enjoyment in it. Even if waiting roughly half the movie being a huge issue for some people. I easily could see my dad falling asleep trying to watch this. To me, it just didn't feel worth that. I do wanna confirm this is a real review with my true thoughts on the movie.

Death Battle Fight Prediction: Conker the Squirrel (Conker) vs Gex the Gecko (Gex)

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, here's another huge fight for Conker I wanted. I even went out of my way to fully 100% Gex: Enter the Gecko recently on an PS1 emulator. I took extra time to prepare the best way to go about this fight. Ultimately I'll go the most simple virtually gladiator style. Neither will be allowed anything forcing em to fight each other with whatever they have.

Verdict
Gex

The big issue with this fight is both had advantages depending neutral locations. They barely had any locations the other lacked making this trickier than expected. This by itself easily plays into ways both could easily win the fight. For example I could've a more war theme. Where both of them gets an tank. Then Conker also be giving a gun or two depending on version of the character.

They also would have access to turrets. Gex having infinite ammo while Conker could zoom helped made up the difference. I also could've gotten a more horror route. Once again Conker gets a gun that differs between versions. Although the same drawbacks that could help Gex survive a little longer. There's even going virtually The Flintstones direction.

Then Conker would've gotten a huge raptor to ride. This is just scenarios Conker could easily win. For fairness I'll point out some of Gex's easier winning scenarios. There's a huge variety of locations Gex been to that Conker never had. We could've gotten a more fairy tale direction. Where Gex dressed up as Little Red Riding Hood that can glide.

Gex also has a more Egyptian location he can ride a camel. A small advantage compared to other animals Gex rides that attacks. Swimming wise, Gex has a much easier time swimming. An underwater fight would easily be Gex's fight to lose. Gex ultimately had more variety of locations he's endured across a few games.

This version of Conker mostly had two versions of a game with an unfinished DLC for another game. Let's pretend Young Conker does not exist!!! Basically in most similar locations both easily had some critical advantages. Power ups is honestly rather one sided here. Conker barely has any notable power ups. His most famous is getting drunk to well release the lizard!!!

He does his business until he suffers an hungover. This by itself puts him at a huge disadvantage against Gex. Especially none of his powers has that issue at all. Mostly a time limit but that's it. Although this could counter Gex's fire power up. Considering Gex with that power up instantly goes out among touching water.

Well parts of urine is made of water I know why bring something that disgusting up. It's just a critical detail that had to be in there. B buttons differ in usage but that's more of a feature than an actual power up. Obviously Conker not getting that in the fight. Going back to the tank exclusion, Rodent was required for Conker to use the tank in the first place.

There's no way I'm giving Conker his friend for anything on those lines. In comparison, Gex simply drives an tank by himself. Therefore if I were to go with the war theme. I would be forced to exclude Conker's tank for fairness reasons. Yes Gex maintains an tank which some might criticize. Then again Conker also has a gun or two depending on versions.

By default, guns like those won't do much to an actual tank. Conker also more notable killable out of the two characters. Gex can either survive long falls that isn't off screen or simply climb walls. Neither option Conker has making a long fall quite deadly. By default, Conker either has an frying pan or an baseball bat.

Gex does use his tail as a weapon that notably has a longer reach. Also unlike Conker using any weapons for that matter. Gex can simply duck then keep on attacking Conker. Which is also considering Gex is notably much faster. Yes even without his speed power up. Which is much faster than his default speed.

Conker obviously struggles with faster enemies. At times, Conker tries to trick his enemies to get his way. You know like Bugs Bunny from Looney Tunes. However that won't work on Gex due to his strange addiction to Television. Yeah this guy literately watched enough stuff on there. He wouldn't be fooled by Conker's tricks.

Hell Rez even tried after his defeat in Gex: Enter the Gecko. Health wise it differs for Gex depending which game in the trilogy. I don't know what the true max you can health in the original Gex. I will say I seen enough health to be slightly higher than Conker's max health. Gex: Enter the Gecko stays about four health.

But Gex can keep particular power up flies around. If he takes a hit, those flies goes away while his health remains fine. This is critical because in Gex 3: Deep Cover Gecko. His max health would be the same as Conker's plus that power up advantage. Therefore in theory he could cheat taking damage with those flying around em.

Which is why those also gotten excluded from the fight. I rather this be as fair of a fight as possible. Even if it means what might be seen as the more boring version of the same fight. I did try to spice it up before going with that decision. One or the other simply had advantages that easily given em the win. Gex ultimately better suited in using the environment.

There's also the fact Gex became an spy following an argument in Gex: Enter the Gecko. Conker is simply just a red squirrel. No mention of any jobs he had in either version of his games whatsoever. Conker does have some outfits but they're just that. In comparison, Gex's outfits may have additional surprises or not.

Two particular outfits following power ups that goes with em gains super human strength. Some of his outfits gains the ability to glide. In this case I rather have gliding than hovering. Conker could hover for a brief period of time. Gex can glide much longer depending how high up in the sky he is. It's safe to say he could more easily survive some situations.

Of course I could also went a more vampire route. Putting Bat Conker against DracuGex. Bat Conker would have a few advantages. For starters, he could fly around as well as drop crap onto people. Literately that's in both versions of Conker's Bad Fur Day. He can fly as well as attack while in the air. DracuGex mostly would have gliding going for em.

Considering Gex's default speed he would be a tricky target for Bat Conker to hit. It's possible DracuGex could gain the upper hand against Bat Conker too. By now you can see how confusing this fight can get. Once all the crazy possibilities gets brought up. All of that led to flat out gladiator style being the most direct, definitive way to determine who wins.

I also could give Gex the experience advantage since he's in a complete trilogy of games. Oh shots fired I could care less lol. End of the day, it really was the little things that determines who wins this fight. Gex simply had enough going for him to win. Not to mention, Conker only gotten so far due to getting help from people.

In comparison, Gex mostly done it alone. Yes Alfred you can make the claim all you want. All you basically done is give common sense that's it. Conker simply relies on stuff being given to him. Which even played a role during the ending of Conker's Bad Fur Day. This is also proven true with all the B buttons as well.

It's not often when Conker does something without either of those. I could argue ways Gex doesn't even need his power ups to complete his assignments. He also endured a bigger variety of locations as well. Technically more actual boss fights if you wanna consider those. Gex's TV addiction prevents Conker's trickery getting far.

In a close range fight, Gex simply too much for the red squirrel to handle. Gex even endured deep in the ocean which is exclusive to the N64 version of Gex: Enter the Gecko as well as outer space!!! Gex literately had to explore in outer space unlike Conker whose was inside a throne room sent out to space. Even that suggests Gex should win this fight.

You could criticize Gex needed cannons to be the Lizard of Oz. There's also a gorilla that ultimately defeats the Sun Snake as well. Otherwise, Gex defeated most of the bosses on his own. Gex's speed with his unique ability to climb on surfaces prevents some of Conker's best win conditions from happening. In all honestly, the worst case scenario being an underwater fight.

Even comparing the amount of oxygen they have. The sections where both had a limited supply of air. Gex's oxygen in the water lasts much longer. Even considering in outer space where his oxygen goes fast. He still likely would get air before Conker first. It's true Conker could survive a little longer than Gex in space.

Conker also easily loses focus on stuff. In fact that's exactly what triggered the events of Conker's Bad Fur Day in the first place. Gex realizing that can use it to his advantage in this fight. Gex simply has exactly what he needs in most situations without all the additional stuff to win. Conker simply falls short in many ways.

Gex also would be rather difficult for Conker to predict. In comparison, Gex could notice how similar parts of his personality is to Bugs Bunny. After all in a section he briefly dressed up as a parody of the character. Gex could easily figure out ways to constantly throw Conker off his game.

Decision Legacy Collection (2025) review

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, I recently been playing an flash game series from 2010s. I confessed I used Newgrounds to play these to a degree before buying this. I wanted to make sure if I'll like this or not. I also done this for the upcoming Swords & Souls Legacy Collection. I really can't wait to start reviewing this collection.

Decision Legacy Collection (2025)

Decision 1 (2012)
Decision 2: New City (2012)
Decision: Medieval (2014)
Decision 3 (2014)

This compilation brought a few records for me. I don't own many compilation games that's entirely indie prior. This currently being the longest indie compilation game I ever played!!! It took me a little over forty hours to 100% all four Decision games. Don't expect the usual features in newer compilation games. I will say these play amazingly well compared to the flash game versions.

I personally didn't experience much lag. These games are strikingly similar. At the same time, they all has things to help differ em from each other. Decision 1 is the shortest as well as the easiest among them. The more you play of these, the more you realize there's a lot of stuff to do. These aren't cheap games that ends way too quickly.

In fact, each Decision game took me hours to play fully. You have to set up locations to survive mostly against zombies. It's a little weird regarding Medieval and 3 because another enemy fraction. Orcs & mutants virtually the same in those games. Not to mention, a particular werewolf enemy originally was on zombies' side in Decision 2.

You can upgrade your stats, abilities, weapons and the locations to a degree. Of course locations requires more notable work with Decision 3 having the most by far. Decision 3 forces more direct management over people inside those places. If you lack the right amount of certain people. You may get stuck trying to process.

I actually got stuck in a loop with that plus I kept losing areas I previously claimed. Decision 3 has the worst difficulty spike in the entire collection by far. There's a notable variety what you actually do in the games. You get to explore to discover many sections within locations. You also can do clean up which is kill all the enemies directly.

You get a similar option where you kill all the enemies from a distance. Not quite an rail shooter experience but it sure felt like that. You also can freely explored sections of areas. In the event you missed some stuff but lack the right upgrades. I don't want you to go in thinking these won't have many enemies.

From half way through to the end you'll kept noticing a lot of enemies. You also need to protect generators or particular locations for huge location upgrades. Some of these can get quite repetitive as well as intense. Especially when a lot of the bigger enemies shows up often. You know you gotta make something out fast or you're stuck.

You also can find particular people that unlocks more upgrades. Some of these maps are surprisingly much bigger than expected. Again don't expect the usual smaller scale from flash games here. There's some story to a degree. I will confess they aren't that great. Although I did enjoy Decision: Medieval's story the most.

You don't wanna rush through these games. I should point out it's only local game since there's currently no cloud saving. Some people are criticizing some of these compilation games for a simple reason. You could simply play these free online not pirate by the way. When I heard two brothers made this collection because their dad wanted to play em again.

I knew I had to buy this I respect that a lot. Each Decision game keeps you in the zone for hours. I never once felt burnt out despite how long 100% them all took. You got some truly fantastic games especially you love zombie games. All of them plays from bird eye view. You know like the very early Grand Theft Auto games style.

I loved I could change my plans to attempt bettering my chances. Of course some risks comes up that may result in losing locations. Thankfully your previous upgrades to those locations remains. Just imagine having to do em fully from scratch among losing em would be cruel. Both Medieval and 3 has an new game plus feature.

You maintain a lot of stuff to virtually fly through majority of them. At the cost of a new hidden, harder difficulty simply named Hard+. What did you think they make it that easy? There's a small decent amount of in game achievements for the series. Actually getting all of them in every Decision game the hardest achievement the collection has to offer.

Just in case you were wondering why the Steam achievements wasn't much more achievements. Now you know there's a few composite achievements. I can confirm to get them all will require a lot of patience as well as knowing a few stuff to prevent missing some achievements. Decision Legacy Collection is mind blowing for that price.

I actually paid full price I'm quite happy with this. My least favorite among the games was 1 simply due to the bare minimum what the rest of them offers. Otherwise a fun entry to kick off a good franchise. The grinding is hands down the worst in Decision 3 it's not even close. Decision 2 was easily my second favorite.

It virtually does what great sequels should do. Simply improved over the original in every possible way. Plus the grinding wasn't that bad either. Even that pales in comparison to Decision: Medieval. In my opinion the best game in the entire collection. Most of these are what you expect from most zombie games.

Where they take place in a post apocalyptic world. You get a lot of weapons you expect from that. Well Decision: Medieval is virtually doing this during the dark ages. Possibly inspired by Army of Darkness who knows? This was more of a direct melee than mostly firing weapons in the other games. I personally liked the armors more as well.

It was much easier to go about getting the necessary stuff for bigger location upgrades. Crossbow quickly became my weapon of choice. If you also gotten the poison arrow upgrade. WOW this weapon breaks the challenge of the game. Especially when you hit the right enemies. You simply take out enemies moving closer to your objectives while they fight each other.

You also notice parts of the sections in Medieval and 3 strikingly similar. There's plenty of differences to help them differ enough from each other. I simply loved everything about Decision: Medieval. Easily among my absolutely favorite flash games I ever played!!! It's games like this I realized I should've paid more attention to a particular platform.

In this case flash games on multiple websites that's actually quite amazing. I also felt that with Swords & Souls that's among four other games in Swords & Souls Legacy Collection. Decision: Medieval from the first time seeing the trailer actually sold me on getting this collection. It's very true to the name including how to set up defenses for the locations.

This somehow ended up being a rather unique experience from the rest of the games. In all honestly I really can't say much more that probably haven't already been said at this point. I can confirm your upgrades as a whole require all the hard work. You felt quite satisfied in the game after playing em. For that reason alone I must personally give this the golden standard among compilation games.

Sure you are mostly just getting the games that's it. Sometimes you gotta let the games speak for themselves. I strongly felt this collection screams exactly what it is. You could feel over whelm to a degree. You may fail a lot during the process. Just know two of these Decision games has weapon usage upgrades.

Even if you kept failing at the game. You maintain your process with those weapons you're working hard to level up. Which also brings me to what else so grindy about Decision 3. This process was notably quicker in Decision: Medieval. I wasn't sure when I'll get an upgrade from using weapons in Decision 3 honestly.

This is such an unique blending of several genres. Technically RPG more in the style of Fallout to a degree. These are still notably smaller scale than those. At the same time I also could say you are getting a mind blowing amount of content here. Usually a handful of games compilations I felt that's not going to be enough.

There's some exceptions like this where you got just enough to be satisfied with. There's a lot of grinding stuff you'll need for bigger upgrades. Some just makes the process better or in 3's case worst. If Decision 3 stands out in a huge way. The sections you kill enemies from an distance possibly the best by far.

Decision 2 I felt is the best balanced in difficulty. Decision 1 has some rather cheesy lines. Some of which I'm even amazed made it in. Just when you thought Resident Evil 1 classic voice acting was bad lol. I would say I do recommend these zombie games. But considering how intense this series can get at times.

It's a little on the fence do I recommend it at all? Let's be clear I'm not giving this a bad review. I was very happy with the actual collection itself. I was even deeply impressed with all the hard work. Well the hard work previously done within the games themselves. Decision Legacy Collection was a truly solid experience.

I deeply would appreciate this collection gets onto GOG. I'll buy it again I promise!!! Decision Legacy Collection truly delivers what it promises. You would be amaze how fantastic these flash games are. I think I'll give em more respect than that. These should be labeled as classic zombie PC games. Sure it'll be under the radar with so many zombie games.

Let's put it this way if you want something notably different from many zombie games. You may find that here with this collection. They could've stopped at three games I would've been happy. The fact we gotten four of them in one package is full blown insanity. My big recommendation is play Decision: Medieval.

Also expect to put in a lot of hours playing just one Decision game at a time. You'll quickly notice it'll take much longer to do the rest of the collection. Then again if you're having fun who cares how long it takes!!! You may even want more than that which is a good sign here. Decision Legacy Collection is something I'm glad I took a chance on getting.

Usually I don't play games of this style myself. In terms of you take time to build stuff up. Which is more of my wife's thing honestly. I will say this though they sure made the process for the most part fun to do. I also deeply appreciate the percentage of your save games always presented. They truly knocked this collection out the park, I hope the brothers happy with their master piece of a collection.

Popeye the Slayer Man (2025)

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, I finally gotten to seen Popeye the Slayer Man. Hard to believe we still got one more original horror Popeye movie left to go. A lot of stuff mostly on YouTube hyped this movie up. I can honestly say this is among my favorite low budget horror movies. I could see some people enjoying this Popeye movie.

Popeye the Slayer Man (2025)

The main group of people we follow planned to do an documentary on the facility as well as Popeye. A mysterious figure spotted around an abandoned facility that's nearby a dock. Another notable group of characters has this girl's crazy boyfriend with some of his friends broken into the facility. There's also a small group of characters that wants the facility gone.

Somehow the ratio of each groups works well here. I also got to say how the characters are written as well as the overall acting miles better than Popeye's Revenge. This would be very close how I would go about an horror Popeye movie. Popeye himself steals the show with some brutal kills. Popeye's Revenge was guilty of being a knock off Friday the 13th movie.

This quickly came off being a more original concept. Sure it's a notable trend within horror movies about legends that turns out to be true. Most horror fans can agree those movies differ heavily from each other. I personally love how Popeye was handled here. This is the closest look Popeye in an horror movie yet. Parts of his personality with a surprise usage of spinach plays into a faithful portrayal.

Despite a handful of deaths being accidental. Most of the kills was by Popeye. Just going by those kills it's way better than Popeye's Revenge. In all honestly it's not even close at all. You can tell they had a lot of fun with the kills. They didn't use CGI which I greatly respect. There's a good music video on YouTube with that song playing in the ending credits.

This is a real facility that's used in the movie. Within Popeye the Slayer Man, it's being used as an canned spinach facility. In real life, it's actually an animal feed facility. Some of the actors in a few interviews confirmed the smell being somewhat difficult to work with. The facility was used amazingly well in this movie.

The story is actually well written with a few surprises. I do like this version of Popeye has some of his humanity left. Unlike Popeye's Revenge version that's a full blown monster. It turns out the spinach he's been eating affecting his mind. Like the actual character, he also gets some strength. I thought it was an interesting idea there's some humanity left in a monster.

Which also means he isn't the main antagonist of the movie. Thankfully it isn't done like Leprechaun: Origins and The Mean One respectively. He mostly goes after people because in his mind. They are attacking his home forcing himself to defend it. I won't try justifying how unnecessary things gotten. There's two bigger antagonists within the story.

There's a business man that wants to destroy the facility. It's not a spoiler what I'm about to say since this kill already confirmed online. Popeye doesn't take kindly to that at all. The other main antagonist was that girl's boyfriend. He was upset at his girlfriend to confront her at the facility. Suddenly Popeye made things personal by killing one of his friends.

Of course, the guy was too arrogant to run away. He was willing to cross lines Popeye wouldn't. Let's say he gets what's coming to him. The special effects works better than expected. I should point out this lady working with the business man. She also sings the theme song for this movie. I'll also give credit Popeye put an anchor to great usage unlike Popeye's Revenge.

Surprisingly there isn't any sex scenes at all. Honestly I'm kinda glad there isn't either. Popeye shows how he could work amazingly well as a slasher villain. Now I realize parts of this reminds me of Texas Chainsaw. You know the movie where the final girl related to Leatherface being his cousin thing? They played on that with someone secretly being Popeye's child.

Which I felt was a surprisingly great idea. The story doesn't get boring much with no notable plot holes. Yes I'm looking at you Popeye's Revenge!!! Popeye basically allows some of them to leave out of kindness. I still say my favorite kill in the entire movie was the famous stomp kill. I am amazed for the low budget it worked this well.

I especially liked when some characters flashed their flash lights at Popeye. This rather interesting view of the character within those shots. Suddenly he's popping out at ya I loved it!!! You could argue how parts of this plays on Friday the 13th to a degree. I actually felt this Popeye movie deserves to stand on it's own.

The five minutes that already was shown separately in a video. Believe it or not, that was among the last of the shooting done for the movie. I do liked most of the movie takes place within a facility. Sure it's been done many times within horror movies. There's just something about how to use an facility in the way this movie does.

I'm getting excited for Shiver Me Timbers as well as Screamboat. I would say at this moment Popeye the Slayer Man the horror Popeye movie to beat. There isn't much I could criticize. Even the actual length of the movie doesn't drag out that much. Probably the closest complaint is the blood a bit too bright.

Don't get me wrong the blood as well as gore looks way better than Popeye's Revenge. Not to mention every kill we see on screen in that regard. Also I could excuse parts of that in a mostly dark location. Which is probably why they chosen to make the blood notably brighter. I just felt the blood being a bit darker could've worked a little better for this Popeye movie.

Not to add salt I did in fact enjoy the famous live action Popeye movie with the late Robin Williams. I would say this in a few ways better than that. As much I could respect Williams' portrayal of the character. I simply prefer Jason Robert Stephens' performance more. This was a rather unique take on the concept that surprisingly works this well.

I should point out he's mostly called the Sailor Man which is fine. Although some may pick at parts where his name Popeye gets said. Personally we all know his name is Popeye. He is a sailor who really cares!!! Olive Oyl through a picture cameo was a nice touch as well. Now we know all three original horror Popeye movies in some form had Olive Oyl.

You actually start to feel bad for Popeye later on. I will confirm there's a possibility of a sequel. Popeye also has a few lines in the movie. For the most part, he's a silent killer. At least when he talks it doesn't ruin the character like Popeye's Revenge. Popeye the Slayer Man was a decent slasher film that's low budget to work amazingly well I felt.

The Leprechaun's Game (2020) and The Leprechaun's Curse (2021) review

Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone I'm XboxClown89, It's been awhile since I last watched any horror Leprechaun movies. I previously noticed a short horror Leprechaun series on Tubi I haven't seen before. No relationships to the more famous Leprechaun series or Red Clover for that matter. Considering it's St. Patrick's Day why not review two horror Leprechaun movies today?

The Leprechaun's Game (2020)

One of the companies responsible for this Leprechaun series also later made Popeye's Revenge. We have a group of thieves tasked by a collector to find a leprechaun's bag of gold. Obviously the thieves were selfish to claim the gold. They didn't take getting hunted by a leprechaun seriously. It was revealed this leprechaun also a soul collecting demon.

This already makes him worst than any of the other horror movie leprechauns I seen. Not only he kills you, he also steals your soul too. All of a sudden it's like Freddy Krueger stalking em since he steals souls. I can respectfully say a few things about the leprechaun. He's actually an leprechaun thank god!!! Also he's a vastly different character from the leprechauns in Leprechaun series.

I don't think this horror Leprechaun series a mock buster or a direct rip off of those. They simply had a similar concept just executed differently. Horror is filled with plenty of takes on anything that terrifies people. For the most part the kills are meh at best. The story plays out quite obviously to the point it gets a bit boring at times.

He does have a weakness to four leaf clovers. Don't even compare these horror Leprechaun movies to the main horror Leprechaun movie franchise. This is very notably a low budget horror movie. We even had someone burnt to death without any actual flames. Instead they simply used red lights with some flashing that's it.

I will give it some credit they tried to differ it from those Leprechaun movies. Just felt a poor man's imitation than anything else. The movie really felt incomplete to a degree. At one point, the camera lost focus was quite amateur of the camera person. I will also respect a short guy played the leprechaun. He's notably taller than most actors to play leprechauns in the more popular Leprechaun franchise.

Even if I just compared these horror Leprechaun movies to Red Clover aka Leprechaun's Revenge. Red Clover may question their usage of an leprechaun. Ultimately several aspects of that movie were done better. They somehow made an leprechaun boring is something I didn't expect to see. We even had a woman with the most direct information given to her still ends up dead.

I should point out this leprechaun likes to stab people. He doesn't teleport for some odd reason. Although in the sequel movie a few times he does. They seem to kept changing what the leprechaun could do. Thus making him a rather inconsistent character with his abilities. Personally I prefer how that was done with the more popular horror Leprechaun movies.

Pacing is very notably off with some scenes dragging on. Like you know this one guy that goes outside. The leprechaun nearby waiting to kill him. Just imagine how much could change with cutting that section down a bit. Honestly, The Leprechaun's Game simply isn't a good alternative to the more popular Leprechaun horror movies.

Don't expect any of the characters to be decent. The Leprechaun's Game still gets point for a plot not done in the more popular Leprechaun movies. The actual appearance of the leprechaun was alright at best. A kid could dress up way better as an leprechaun though. You really aren't missing much with this. The same company somehow gotten Popeye to work a little better.

The Leprechaun's Curse (2021)

This is a follow up to The Leprechaun's Game. A handful of characters from the previous Leprechaun movie returns. They don't survive at this point no one going to care if I spoil things or not. Honestly Leprechaun Returns where Mark Holton reprised his role as Ozzy dies early into the movie. These kills doesn't compare to that.

It turns out this one greedy guy used some of the gold to buy a place. He was briefly in the previous Leprechaun movie. This somehow made him even less likable in the sequel. The other survivor from that film never explains how she survived. She still had the baby despite how little of their child we see in the movie.

The story is somewhat a little better. But parts of the pacing especially towards the ending notably drags out. Like Popeye's Revenge, we had a guy trying to cheat with another woman. Which is suddenly more interesting because Danielle Ronald gets into a similar situation for Popeye's Revenge. Her characters in both films ends up dead.

The leprechaun is more directly a stalker this time around. He's also playing more of causing mischievous stuff. Which is to be expected of leprechauns. I felt this movie better portrayed the magical creature a little more accurately. Don't expect to the degree of Unlucky Charms. Which does have a few magical beings including an leprechaun terrorizing people.

The guy in question cheating Stephen Staley previously was in Nutcracker Massacre. Where he played a similar character in that. Look don't expect much for lower budget horror movies. I would say this was technically better than that movie. The leprechaun targeting this one greedy guy's daughter. She inherited the place he used stolen gold to bought.

Her and her friends were targeted simply being in that location. They do find out about the gold of course they do. Some of the kills were slightly better than the previous Leprechaun movie. You get a more clear idea how truly wicked of a being the leprechaun is. Again somehow doesn't directly rip off a plot of another horror Leprechaun movie.

The characters were also slightly better written as well. For the most part it's quite obvious what's going to happen. This leprechaun sure loves leaving tiny envelopes with written messages around. What's next a killer tooth fairy leaves stick notes that causes tooth decay among exposure? The Leprechaun's Curse somewhat true to it's name.

This felt like too many questions with not enough answers. It's difficult to pick anything somewhat decent in the movie. In a few ways it's technically better than the previous Leprechaun movie. But this easily could've been a little better in a few ways. I could argue ways Leprechaun 4: In Space a more exciting Leprechaun movie than this!!!

The Leprechaun's Curse doesn't even use a real baby. I seen a couple low budget horror movies that used real babies. It's not like many scenes had that baby to begin with. The ending fails to reveal anything regarding that baby. We don't even know how the leprechaun returns either. Just expect a lackluster low budget horror movie ending with your expectations being quite low.

Conclusion

Leprechaun horror movies are slowly becoming more common. Just not the degree of zombies, vampires, witches, ghosts, etc... But the world suddenly needs all these shark movies!!! Obviously you'll get some decent horror movies with particular creatures. Inevitably there's going to be some bad ones as well.

This was simply a case of a short lived Leprechaun horror franchise that's not worth checking out. I could argue several ways how Red Clover much better than those Leprechaun movies. Honestly I did expect a bit more even for low budget horror Leprechaun movies. You kinda felt rip off especially if you grew up with the more popular Leprechaun horror franchise I did.

I don't even like the leprechaun character either. I'm just glad he's an actual leprechaun that's also a soul collecting demon. He also has his own personality rather than just ripping off either Warwick Davis or Linden Porco. His actual appearance notably different from theirs as well. I would put him above Leprechaun: Origins and Red Clover's leprechauns respectively.

Which is still not saying that much. Majority of the human characters are not bright as well as quite predictable. Indirectly due to their stupidity you could argue the leprechaun not that much smarter. I still say he's the smartest character by far. These are amazingly low budget horror movies that just doesn't work.

Of course I have seen some decent examples of great low budget horror movies. Killer Klowns from Outer Space for starters. Terrifier series is among the most popular slasher franchises in recent history. There's plenty of other great indie horror movies people talks about. I know these were more meant to rip people off just not in the style of a mock buster.

I will give them credit to not directly rip off plots from other horror Leprechaun movies. Unlucky Charms that does have an leprechaun character is more strangely entertaining than these movies. We wouldn't even label these as Great Value Leprechaun movies. I'm sure actual great value Leprechaun movies had more money spent.

I'm not trying to be quite harsh on these horror Leprechaun movies. At least watching them didn't fell like torture. It still was somewhat interesting to see how other people go about a similar concept. End of the day this isn't even remotely how I would go about an horror Leprechaun movie. I'll give a few recommendation of magic theme horror movies way better than these Leprechaun movies.

1. Wishmaster (1997)

2. Warlock (1989)

3. Sleepy Hollow (1999)

Those are my top magic theme horror movie recommendations. I could recommend their first sequels as well. Although that's ultimately you want to give those a chance or not. We have a terrifying usage of a genie and a warlock respectively. These Leprechaun movies doesn't even compare to better lower budget horror Leprechaun movies.

Even Sleepy Hollow with Johnny Depp way better than this. A truly amazing adaptation of that story. Which also involved a witch manipulated a dead man into killing people. If you want to watch these horror Leprechaun movies. Watch em on Tubi virtually not spending any cents to do so. I still could see people arguing they still want their money back lol.

I also could say it's way better than Leprechaun: Origins. On the grounds of an leprechaun being the main antagonist. Also it's an actual leprechaun not whatever those creatures were. Parts of their stories comes together better as well. Leprechaun: Origins still ended up with better kills. Also the characters were more rememberable in comparison.

You know you got bottom of the barrel horror Leprechaun movies. When even Leprechaun: Origins has stuff over em. The best way to go into watching em is not seen the other horror Leprechaun movies. Personally I would recommend go watch something else entirely. There's plenty of great horror movies. Why bother with such bad Leprechaun horror movies?
