Why He Rocks

 * 1) He's strong to the finach, 'cause he eats his spinach!
 * 2) He can take down anything that’s bigger than him with one single punch.
 * 3) After his debut in animation, he became one of the most recognizable characters in cartoon history.
 * 4) His design is very unique.
 * 5) His voice is very fitting for his character.
 * 6) He gave us several memorable quotes such as "Well blow me down!", "Oh My Garshk!" and his signature laugh.
 * 7) His mumbling sounds very hilarious, especially the Jack Mercer version.
 * 8) He is a good role model to kids because he helps teach kids to eat spinach.
 * 9) He is very loving and caring to his friends and family from the cartoons and comics.
 * 10) Following his debut in animation in 1933, he became one of the first and most iconic superheroes in cartoon history, even predating Superman's official debut in animation in 1940.

The Only Bad Qualities

 * 1) Popeye is usually shown smoking a pipe, this caused a lot of controversy that he is now seen barely smoking in media nowadays because it might encourage kids to smoke.
 * 2) He became a punching bag in some episodes, mainly during the 1948 Famous Studios era.
 * 3) His design in the YouTube web series is horrendous and mediocre, making him look like a younger doppelganger of himself.
