Cuphead5/27/2023 ![]() Still, originally what Cuphead brought to the table wasn't just about reminiscing, and as a result, simple reminiscing fails to have as much of an impact as the source material did. It uses old tropes like showing floating eyeballs against a black background as Cuphead and Mugman talk to each other in the darkness, or title cards that state the episode name after a lengthy, theatrical theme song. Like its source material, The Cuphead Show has references from Disney and Popeye to the Looney Tunes, among others. The show’s second season has only worked to solidify this. Yet, in translating a genre of television to a video game and then back to a series, something was lost in translation. Of course, a game that’s based on animated TV shows would make for a great animated TV show, itself right? The impulse to turn Cuphead into The Cuphead Show was an understandable one. ![]() ![]() RELATED: From Mickey Mouse to Popeye: Cartoons That Inspired 'The Cuphead Show!'
