sagii Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Looked for a thread didn't see one so started this one.. Anyone who's followed any of my posts on these Boards know how much I love Bugs Bunny and the Looney Tunes. Was worried because of the mostly bad critic reviews, but an enduring pop culture legacy is that (Porky Pig debuted in the 30's, and here he is with Daffy and the rest STILL here in a big budget Hollywood release)! I'm seeing it tonight Long live The Looney Tunes 1950's war comics, Bosco685, jsilverjanet and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 (edited) It's going to get review bombed shortly by all the freaks disappointed they can't wank off to Lola this time. They're all over Twitter, insisting they're the normal ones. I'll stick to the side that doesn't want to sex animals, thanks. I'll wait and see this one when it's out on 4K for home release. Till then, I think it's time for a nostalgic rewatch of the original. Edited July 17, 2021 by Mecha_Fantastic Tony S and sagii 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im of the mind they are the ones who made the character 'matter' all this time, giving her 'legs' since the original movie came out and put her at a place to stand shoulder to shoulder with longer running household name characters of the franchise Not disagreeing with you, and there is some smoke to your fire, but I think this other fact is ignored (for what ever reason by social media folks out to push the other darker narrative to justify changes to things now deemed inappropriate).

Cat Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 I think it's a tough one. Supply/demand. Demand was obviously first, people came in to fill that demand, and thus began the market, in many areas: cosplay shots, OnlyFans sets and their earlier equivalents, the Hub, commissioned art, attempts at dodgy pornographic games starring Lola, artists selling cosplayers DIY Lola kits, and the even more unsavoury stuff, which we'll just leave it as girls (hopefully for their sake being exploited the self} doing bad things with animals relevant to Looney Toons while dressed as Lola. And these 'performers have their Defenders. Quite ardent and open about just what it is they're advocating for. (what they're advocating for is animal abuse, and these' 'actors' often worse living conditions at home) for the people taking on these jobs. It's a sad spiral to dehumanity. And all from a kid's flick meant to entertain the young 'uns and in this case a slightly older crowd too. To bring them joy. To show them we can triumphantly stand here, having modernised these characters, and they're still the same at heart. Instead these freaks' first thoughts are 'I wanna whack it to THAT one first.'

Lol, I got a laugh out of that last line. You make valid points, and in the end im happy as you pointed out they have modernized the characters while keeping them true to form Cat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, definitely. My girlfriend at the time I was this in the cinema with bought me a Lola Bunny toy as a joke, for a few reasons. After we'd seen the film, I said she was the standout. I though her attitude was nicely feminist (for the time). But then she thought that meant I was crushing on her when I wasn't. I bought her an Elmer Fudd as her crush to prove my point. Just cause she enjoyed his bits doesn't make it a crush. I lose to nobody at age 16! Lol. sagii 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen screenshots asking them how they're going to match the new Lola but still keep her sexy. Did they miss that the whole point of the redesign was to desexify her?

At least this year subscribing makes a lot of sense given the simultaneous release of WB's films in both theaters and HBO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HBO Max with The Flight Attendance, Mare of Easttown, Search Party, The Wire, Raised By Wolves, Warrior, Allen v Farrow and yes all the comic book productions it is a steady flow of entertainment. Hulu with The Handmaid's Tale, Motherland: Fort Salem, Outsiders, Mr. Inbetween, Dave and even silly MODOK and shows like Cloak & Dagger make it packed with content.
