Space Jam A New Legacy - From Black Panther to Bugs Bunny

[Kari Kamiya]

Here's the official reason why it took 25 years for Space Jam 2.

That's a lot of words to say "Back in Action bombed and scared the shit out of Warner Bros." (in which it only got a brief mention anyway).

NBA potentially being behind the push for a sequel/reboot to boost ratings wouldn't surprise me, though.

1) LeBron will never be another Jordan, even if he is in a “class alone in the basketball pantheon”.

But he isn't. He's lost more championship teams than he's won and doesn't carry any team he was a part of by himself. He's an overrated tool who sees himself as bigger than MLK Jr. The only reason they push him is because Kobe's dead and he's so buck broken to Chinese businessmen that his viagra is the Yuan.

 

[RumblyTumbly]

Also, as I said before, Lebron is the top player of his time...in an era where the talent pool is nowhere near what it was in the 90s.

If I took every NBA roster in 1998, put them all in a room together, and then blindfolded myself and threw a rock, there is a very high probability of me hitting someone that deserves to be in the Hall of Fame.

Now do that same thing with any of the rosters of the last decade, and I'd have a hard time even naming 10 of them.

In the serververse, James and the Tunes go on brief adventures through various pieces of Warner Bros. intellectual properties. They save the day in Metropolis, meet up with Granny in the Matrix, quip about Hogwarts and pick up Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner in “Mad Max.” It’s the most entertaining sequence of the film and serves as metacommentary on the rising trend in Hollywood of large-scale, crossover events and building content on top of existing intellectual property.

Translation: We wanted another ready player one but with all our own IP'S instead of other people's so we wouldn't have to pay royalties also we're trying to be satirical to the whole "lol i member that." genre of crossovers while still being one of those Crossovers to fleece the masses.

Doug said something similar in his lone review. Said there’s some legitimately clever moments and jokes, but a lot of it is awkward “so bad it’s good”.

 

[XYZpdq]

I don't understand why Back in Action underperformed in the box office. It was a good film, better than Space Jam either. It fit the whole comic mischief of Looney Tunes with the animated hero/villain shtick .

I recall chatter that it had shit marketing or something?

 

[Fat Tub of Lard]

His philanthropic efforts and activism have made him more than just an all-time player.

Yes, they have - they've proven him to be a smug, overblown faggot. Why did Kobe have to be on that plane instead of him?

Just proving what a horrible idea this was, even critics think the movie sucks. Even the same cocksuckers who praise the "de-sexualiztion" of Lola and suck up to LeBitch James' political bullshit. Seriously, there's reviews that praise Lola's boob job yet trash everything else about the movie, just prove how progressive (read: arrogant) they are.

I don't care how "so bad it's good" it is. I refuse to enable its existence because its sole purpose is to spam dead IPs into relevance for desperate studios who are terrified of making new IPs. It is the exact thing you don't want to succeed if you like movies at all.

Are we really back at this again? Everyone knows the movie is bad, you dont need to keep trying the “Ghostbusters ’16” approach.

Ah yes, the method that tells you that the Director knows they made a fucking pile of shit that would get them fired and blacklisted from every other job out there if it looked at consistent metrics rather than "I made a single okay movie 20+ years ago so I deserve job". The admission of defeat as you will.

 

[TopCat]

Now Build-A-Bear is getting in on the act!

 

[RumblyTumbly]

To be fair to the director, I always thought a sexualized cartoon rabbit was weird.

I mean...who was that for?

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah.

I was more upset because of what it represents. We all know they're doing this shit to "stick it to the incels". By cutting Lola's tits off, they can go on and on about how progressive they are.

Because saying that a sexy woman can't be strong is sooo goddamn beneficial to women. This is what happens when male feminists get their way, people.

 

[The Last Stand]

They are milking this one movie for all it's worth. It's quite uneasy to see.

The Space Jam: A New Legacy movie hits streaming services and theaters tomorrow and I just received the official IMDB reviews. (Yes, I still read and lurk on there from time to time).

Anyway, here’s some of the user reviews that I managed to screenshot since I did not have time to archive them properly:



Also, if you’re wondering where are the “good” reviews, most of them were mainly just the same old “IT WASN’T MADE FOR YOU 40+ YEAR OLD MICHAEL JORDAN FANS! LET THE KIDS ENJOY IT!” to “I don‘t really like LeBron James that much, but I love the Looney Tunes, even though I don’t like the fact of what they did to Lola Rabbit’s design“.

It was basically left-handed compliments mixed with comments from people that still will “hate watch” this for fun.

And to add fairness, this is currently what the reviews are for the original 1996 release of Space Jam:

um um uh
IF YOU HATE IT ITS CUZ U RACIST AND SHIT!!

LOL I like the one review I saw where it says Jordan saved his friends and the Tunes in 1 hour and 30 min. Meanwhile, It takes Lebron 2 hours to just save his kid.

MJ WINS AGAIN.
