Space Jam: A New Legacy

[weezerspider]

It’s no masterpiece but it’s not awful. To me anyway

Bugs would never ask for help. That’s pretty strongly against character if you watch the old Chuck Jones films. Bugs is essentially Groucho Marx. He’s a sarcastic *******, so much so that the writers had a strict rule where he couldn’t start any conflict because he was so mean and crafty that he’d look like a bully and be the bad guy if he actually started anything. A character who’s such a crafty ******* that the writers had to actually make rules to keep him from being a villain is not going to ask for help against someone who threatens to enslave him. A character like that is not going to need help against someone who threatens to enslave him.

Well if you hated the first one and then this one looks like it’s going to make the characters 2000 times worse

I would argue that Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, and Porky Pig are more iconic by themselves than any actor voicing them. Lola Bunny, however, is not as well known IMO.

I just wanna know the one person sitting on the fence going, “Zendaya is voicing Lola? Well now that seals the deal for me seeing this film!”

Hey you never know! There could be that one person who is a Zendaya fanatic lol

More of that social media fake outrage.

They way people reacted to her new look, you’d think she was iconic like the other Tunes.

People always finding new ways to be offended.

It’s literally Twitter and everything it stands for. Crying about something nobody really cares about.

But it did not have a personality. That was made by an algorithm as well, they made successful commercials to sell shoes and Looney Tunes and said let's make a movie of that and make lots of money. Nothing more artistic than that. And that's fine.

It embraced and made fun of itself for how completely corporate-commercial it was.

Chuck Jones reportedly hated what they did with the characters. That's what actually led Joe Dante to do Looney Tunes: Back In Action which was codenamed the Anti-Space Jam at the time.

I think that movie failed at least in big part *because* it was trying to be a loose follow up to a (hit) film it also seemed to genuinely actually dislike and that really didn't work and was offputting to audiences. Casting and vaguely trying to glorify Timothy Dalton, the Bond that failed so hard and some viewers really liked to hate, was one example of its anti-populist tendency.

Really not feeling this.

 

[Calvin Ellis]

Don't care for anything having to do with stroking Leborn's ego.

This looks like torture to me. Unless it gets crazy good reviews that spike my interest i'm not seeing myself watching this movie.

PS: But I did enjoy the first one when I was a kid.

 

[Doctor Jones]

This movie is even sadder now given this is pretty much a Warner Media Ad now with AT&T pulled out. This looks like Late Stage Capitalism: The Movie. Where now we must be emotionally invested in a brand.

 

[Drizzle]

I'm still gonna watch it since I have HBO Max anyway. But no way in hell would I consider seeing this in theaters.

 

[samsnee]

Yeah I’ll check it out of curiosity since I’m already paying for Max. Otherwise it’s a pass
