Either LeBron James is looking old, or he’s looking like a mouse

And one of the things I felt that held back Back in Action most were having Brendan Fraser and Jenna Elfman as the leads. They just weren't that funny or charismatic.
Honestly, I didn't know who they were. Still don't. The pull that Back in Action had was the Looney Tunes characters satirizing action films and their own medium. It was a fun watch; the characters were just moving the plot along.
She's basically the Looney Tunes' version of Poochie. She feels like a character designed by committee to appeal to demographics.

The best Lola is the one from The Looney Tunes Show, voiced by Kristen Wiig.

She's crazed and, dare I say it, Looney! She fits right in, but they gave her a personality in that show, which was problematic. She's not a stronk female so that's an issue.
Lola didn't have much character with being new. She was introduced in Space Jam I recall. Then her personality changed with Baby Looney Tunes into The Looney Tunes Show. I don't think she would fit into the original style of Looney Tunes. Bugs could cross-dress.
I remember only watching the last episodes regularly online and liking the musical segments which felt like the closest thing to Looney Tunes.
I liked a couple of those music segments. The Daffy Duck one and the Grilled Cheese one. I was a fan of the sitcom style.
 
Ngl while its shameful to say I did crack at the Michael B Jordan joke.
The visuals hurt my eyes and honestly I was too busy looking at the background references to pay attention to the movie. On the plus side, I didn't have to pay attention to the movie.
I don't know anything about basketball and have never seen Space Jam but apparently Lebron James is basically Jesus's resurrection. Honestly, this movie felt like a visual representation of screaming about how much they want to fuck Lebron while jerking off into a vault of film reels they found in a closet. Its actually pretty great, in that sense.
The kids in the audience were more or less bored and somewhat confused since, regardless of how much shit their parents let them watch, no kid nowadays probably cares about Game of Thrones or Rick and Morty. Austin Powers was what, 20 years ago?
The Justice League cameo was nice, though.
 
because of course the furry likes it

He makes the point of how the movie is self-aware and that's supposed to be a good thing, now self-aware movies aren't always bad but it's not excuse.

If it knows it's dumb that doesn't change the fact that it's dumb. It especially makes it worse when it has to bring it up all the time.

Also he went full on consoomer "I clapped because I know what that is" mode which was just sad to see.

Yep, Lola wouldn't have worked in the original, but I legitimately did enjoy The Looney Tunes show on its own merits.
I liked Tina too, honestly. She reminds me of a friend of mine.
 
CyberSpace Jam just doesn't have the same ring to it, yeah.
Now that I’m thinking about it, CyberSpace Jam would have probably been a much sensible and accurate title than the generic Space Jam: ____________.

Here’s a good response video.


It mentions that Al-G Rhythm was a dumb villain because he created a way for him to lose in his own universe despite showing himself to not be above cheating.

Vid's gone dude. I guess WB is that angry and terrified their flop movie is getting dunked on they had to remove it.
 
It amuses me seeing the typical crowd praising this movie to hell and back on social media. They’re like a walking stereotype of consoomers “I laughed so hard at the Porky rap!!!! 10/10 best movie ever!!!!”

someone says they didn’t like it and they get dogpiled with “okay racist” or “found the Trump supporter”

really wondering if these people are paid shills or if society honestly is this retarded anymore.

The latter... People are addicted to mindless nostalgia because it reminds them of their lost youth, so they become consoomers for the cheap dopamine hits regardless if the product is good or not. The nostalgia addiction is so severe that there are even those who are on the right of the Twitter community and who can be Alex Jones-tier about Hollywood, yet they will suck up to Hollywood if they manage to push the right nostalgia buttons, showing that its the same on both sides when it comes to consoomers.

Its part of why Funko Pop shit and similar products are popular. They're ugly as shit and useless paperweights. But people buy them because it reminds them of "happier/younger" times in their lives.

Yeah, usually he has better takes than that.

Lebron James hops down the ol bunny trail. Remember, if WB copyright strikes this, its canon.

I really love this video, it's hilarious and perfectly unsettling at the same time.

People really are dumb enough to frame not liking a Space Jam movie as racism these days.

It's obvious why people are so obsessed with nostalgia these days and it's because the modern world has sucked so bad for so long.

Nostalgia's always been an element of pop culture but not like it is today, before Funko Pops I remember when Vinyl Toys were a thing that were original designs, not based on any property.
 
I originally thought that photo of Looney Tunes Show Lola was edited because of the cleavage but looked into it and it isn't which is kind of weird.

It was in some Halloween episode named "We're In Big Truffle"
