🐱 'SPACE JAM' DIRECTOR REWORKS LOLA BUNNY FOR REBOOT ... From 'Sexualized' To 'Strong'

https://www.tmz.com/2021/03/04/space-jam-lebron-james-lola-bunny-movie-reboot/

New Space Jam, new Lola Bunny.

The director of "Space Jam: A New Legacy" has "reworked" Lola Bunny's role for the reboot -- claiming he wasn't comfortable with the "very sexualized" way she came off in the original back in 1996.

The man behind the film is Malcolm D. Lee-- who has worked on flicks like "Girls Trip," "Undercover Brother" and "Night School" ... he's also Spike Lee's cousin!!

Now that he's taken over the reins of the legendary "Space Jam" franchise, Lee wanted to make sure Lola Bunny would be a strong role model for young people.

"This is 2021," Lee told Entertainment Weekly. "It's important to reflect the authenticity of strong, capable female characters."

We went back and checked out the Lola scenes from the original 'Space Jam' and Lee has a solid point.

The scene where Lola first enters the basketball gym is scored with sexy bombshell music — and the rest of the Tune Squad players are so taken by her appearance, they are literally paralyzed.


Lola, after showing off her impressive basketball skills, saunters out of the gym and admonishes Bugs Bunny for previously referring to her as "Doll."

So, what can we expect in the LeBron James reboot? Gone are Lola's short shorts — replaced by typical workout gear with compression shorts underneath.

It seems the director was hoping to model Lola after a typical high-level female athlete -- which makes sense considering real-life WNBA superstars Diana Taurasi and Nneka Ogwumike both have key roles in the reboot.


As for LeBron, the Lakers superstar has spoken about how important the movie is to him ... and being able to share his own example of fatherhood in the flick.

"There are parents who want to push their kids to do certain things because this is what they do, but sometimes you have to look into a kid and be able to have an open mind and ear to help them become the thing they've dreamed of."

And the many people suffering from the global pandemic breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that their real concerns are being addressed.

So basically a tranny?

This movie didn't need to happen once, why is it happening again?

Who honestly even wanted a sequel to such a mediocre movie based on a shoe commercial?

I don't fucking get it

The original Space Jam was a mediocre film as a vehicle for an all time sports athlete who couldn't act.

R Kelly sang a song.

Bill Murray had a couple funny moments(sorta).

But, its largely stupid drivel. Even for a kid's movie.

I say this as somebody who loves old Looney Tunes. But that time has come and gone..

The reverence for Space Jam as a movie let alone a franchise is fucking rediculious.

Of course, it'll backfire, since nobody gives a shit about Space Jam anymore, but that's really all this is: a lust for that sweet, sweet green stuff.

Looks like slappy squirrel now.

Slappy Squirrel might feel insulted to be compared to the new Lola Bunny.

it won't stop the furries. nothing will.

But it’ll piss many of them off, so it should be encouraged.

I think they knew it would fail, which is why they're mixing in a bunch of different IPs unrelated to Looney Tunes (like King Kong, Godzilla, Hanna-Barbera cartoons, DC comics, and other WB properties) to try and make this an "epic crossover" movie rather than just a Looney Tunes movie.

Apparently some have even spotted fucking Detective Pikachu in the crowd shots ffs. And then there was that supposed 4chan leak which showed off who the "villain" team was going to be.

This shit is so forced that it almost feels like a made up /tv/ shitpost, but with each new clip the leak gets more believable. All its missing is Nolan's Bane and CIA.

Well, the madmen have finally done it, managed to piss off every conceivable fan of the movie before it's out, from the new audience to the nostalgic old audience to the furry smut artists ready to milk the masses on FA.... there is not one literal group out there right now that will be happy with this.

Except ones who don't go to movies but will crow about the triumph of diversity on their Tumblr and then go off to gatekeep the next already-failed project.

 

[CatParty]

I think he means an elite sports athlete that permeates into pop culture. People that don't even follow the sport know who they are.

Kaepernick isn't a Jordan or a Gretzky..

Bugs Bunny looked way better in drag then whatever that is. He actually has the hips and chests.

Lola, after showing off her impressive basketball skills, saunters out of the gym and admonishes Bugs Bunny for previously referring to her as "Doll."

So they’re taking a scene in which a character proves that she can both be sexy and skilled enough to one-up the main characters who assume she’s incapable because she’s attractive, and they’re turning her into a ”strong character” by... removing that dynamic entirely?

this is the dumbest change since The Dark Tower movie destroyed the whole Roland/Odetta message by making Roland black.

Honestly, sometimes I think it's funnier to watch dorks get triggered whos life is dependent on tits on a cartoon bunny than it is so-called "SJWs". (Now I'm tempted to advocate de-sexualizing every cartoon/anime/video game character there is just to get a laugh out of them getting triggered by it).

Not to mention the asinine idea that thinking that tits on a cartoon bunny are necessary is necessarily "political/religious" to begin with, when in a lot of cases it's more of just a differences between comparatively normal people who've actually had consensual sex sometime in their life, and people who haven't.

For all of the virgins, furries, neets, and neckbeards out there - you can easily spend 5 seconds pulling up Pornhub on your mom's dial-up connection, or whatever backwater hentai / cartoon porn site fits your fancy. Your life isn't over because a cartoon bunny in a film for 12-year olds no longer gets your micropenis tingly.

Also, the fact that both Bugs and Lola have the same last name "Bunny" is weird and creepy to begin with - this implies that they're related, like siblings, cousins, or something, and yet still love interests.

Why does American culture hate the concept of a sexy female so much, these days? Used to be a ubiquitous part of American culture for decades and then all of a sudden it's been scrubbed out of almost everything mainstream.

This is happening a lot these days. Breasts are disappearing left and right and it's starting to have a noticeable effect on younger women/girls. Look at the cartoons coming out, the way they talk about masectomies in cutesy language, and combine that with the increase in women identifying as trans and nonbinary and you can't tell me something weird is happening.

"Teetus deletus" for a major surgery.

On one hand, Lola is bland and boring as she was and could use an update to make her an actually "looney" character.

Wasn't there already this Looney toons something show where Lola was made into goofy, silly and awkward character and given more personality & qualities besides of bunny tities? I thought this problem was already solved.

yeah uh Animaniacs kind of flirted really hard with not being a kids' show if the Minerva Mink vignettes didn't tip you off

What’s funny, is in another shot, she clearly has boobs.

If you're gonna turn a sexualized female furry with no personality into a strong "typical high-level athlete" female furry with no personality then it's still shit.

Gimme the dorky Lola I loved from the Looney Tunes Show instead.

They really don't seem to understand the difference between a strong female character and a Strong Female character.

Spoiler

they weren't the first to do this kind of thing (that dubious honor goes to Nickelodeon and things like Rocko's Modern Life which was NOT A KIDS' CARTOON) but they might have been the first ones to do it on broadcast television

the Minerva Mink stuff actually got parents upset enough to raise hell and that's why after a certain point in the Animaniacs run you don't see any more Minerva Mink vignettes
