    I'm never going to actually watch any of the live action Popeye horror films, but it is funny that we immediately got three of them

    Or we could just enjoy them as they are and not try to capitalize on them with low effort garbage.

    After more than a century. That's 4 generations.

    How about limiting it to 25 years, 1 generation?

    We should embrace the bargin bin horror games/movies. The bargin bin is a great step to show people what can be done with public domain characters.

    We need people to take risks on their creative takes on public domain characters. Bargin bin media allows people to take those riske with low stakes. Someeone has to get everything started.

    why the heck would i want to see any of these characters in anything that comes out today?

    im old, but not old enough to have any desire to see these characters in any way.

    I'm kinda curious to see how The Public Domain: The Game turns out, though it looks like it's gonna be more about the idea of privately owned ideas in general.

    "it looks like it's gonna be more about the idea of privately owned ideas in general"

    that sounds interesting on its own. i dunno i guess i just find 100 year old characters are just a bit stale.
