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
