WB Toons of the Future...literately!!

Hear, hear!

And I mean, seriously, what's Lola's "personality" supposed to be, anyway? She's a female bunny...with an attitude. Girl Power! Arrgg.

Girl Power! is so '90s.

Yeah? Well, think back a bit - think about the things Bugs did to Elmer Fudd and Yosemite Sam, the Tazmanian Devil and even Daffy. Bugs was no peacenik, gosh darn it! He blew people up, slammed heavy weights on 'em, droped them off cliffs, everything!

Actually, Bugs Bunny of the 1940's and later was more like the main villain in the movie "Saw", come to think of it: He made you do these things to yourself. When he wasn't, he was simply letting the actions of his aggressors backfire in their faces (often literally). He was the first and greatest master of Aikido there was.

Really, I have to go with the folks who say we're getting old and crochety. Remember the difference between "I don't like this" and "This is fundamentally wrong".

For us grognards, there IS no difference between those two statements.

Those things look scary.

The posters and stuff looked pretty cool to me. Just watched the preview on AICN (works fine, you just have to be patient as it downloads a large quicktime movie), and it looks great!

I look forward to it. And I'm 40, and the Looney Toons were a huge part of my childhood. But these are just reimaginings, and they do nothing to supplant or degrade my feelings about the originals.

I don't know. It certainly won't replace the old Looney Tunes, but then it didn't look that way at all. It's like they wanted a superhero series without having to license any characters.

I get it. This cartoon is not aimed at us geezers, but your own kids (if you have any).

Corporate America (okay, Corporate Brittian, in this case) tried to sell my kids Boobah as a new whiz-bang version of Teletubbies. They wandered away board. Quality will out. Old Looney Tunes = quality. (For the most part -- some of 'em did stink to high heaven, but those rarely get shown.) Loonatics != quality.

 

[Fast Learner]

Loonatics != quality.

I'm curious about how you know this.

I'd actualy hoped that this was a joke, but it appears otherwise.

If I had the time I'd enter a long rant... instead those of you who are interested can go to http://www.nuklearpower.com/ and read his rant, it pretty much matches my own feelings on this matter.

I'd actually hoped that all these "the apocalypse is here and Loonatics is it's prophet" posts in this thread were jokes, but it appears otherwise. :\

Mine was sarcastic. Honestly, its not hard to just ignore this at all. It isn't ruining my childhood, and it isn't ending the world(has to actually be on the air to do that...so give it time!). I just don't like it, and those character designs are just a little too...too...vicious looking.

Especially Daffy. As I said before, Daffy should never look near sane

Well, so was my post that you quoted. But, honestly, I don't see why everyone's getting so worked up about this. If it really does suck, it'll sink fast enough. The market tends to correct for those kinds of things fairly quickly.
