the space jam 2 post (spoilers)

Tl;Dr: there should have actually been conflict with the toons so that bugs relationship with them as his family could have been better explored as a parallel to LeBron James’ character. What we got was a contrived mess that did nothign for anyone and weakens the whole movie, also wasting everyones time.

My biggest gripe with this movie is the disconnect between the way Bugs is written and portrayed and the motivation given as to why he was abandoned at all. The first time Bugs is introduced he is alone, having been abandoned by the rest of the Tunes leaving for greener pastures within the Warner Brothers serververse. Bugs is not shown to have done anything that would warrant being abandoned, nowhere does the film imply explicit, deliberate coercion on the part of the antagonist in separating his friends from him nor does it even use the visual medium of the pictures shown on the screen that they were unhappy in the Toon World and/or the “franchise worlds” they are gratuitously animated into.

According to Bugs, the messaging being given to them was that they were “wasting their time” living in the toon world. What that means is unclear, leading to a very weird scene where the entire cast sans Bugs is implied to have left of their own free will and on some level were nondescriptly dissatisfied with life in their own world. There are so many things to be said about the IP shoving garbage that is the entire runtime of this movie, but this is the part that makes the least sense to me. I think they were going for “representation of the future thinks the Looney Tunes are outdated,” but that comes across only after careful deliberation and is barely there in the actual text of the movie.

The audience and the characters themselves are given nothing other than “serververse cool” as a reason for these characters to leave Bugs, and also no indication anywhere that there is something stopping them from coming back. There is no barrier to entry in these words but transport, which historically has been very easy in Looney Tunes and from how easy it was to bait Marvin and steal his ship, easily could have been done at any time. And then, all the other characters do throughout the serververse is play “recognize the IP dress up.”

There was no reason for Bugs to stay there alone going mad unless it was some sort of self-imposed exile because he failed his friends, or there was the aforementioned barrier to entry to and from Toon world (which doesn’t seem to exist). Addressing the former, what would be the reason for that? Bugs has done literally nothing. He has done nothing wrong. Nothing worth cutting him off. Nothing.  All he did was choose not to leave his home. The actual presented stakes of this situation are so bizarrely void of any meaning when there is no reason for them to be separated or get back together at all other than “Warner Brothers is making a new Space Jam movie,” and even then they don’t make any sense at all, and the emotional stakes the co-lead to this movie could have had are so contrived and nonsensical they had to introduce a life-or-death element one hour in because none of the other characters or the story itself are actually responding to the emotional journey the performance (given by the combination of the voice actor and the animators, I know Bugs Bunny isn’t really there) is trying to convey.

This movie is fucking awful and confused and there’s not enough thought put into the emotional journey of Bugs Bunny, and this is mostly just a thought dump as to why. I genuinely believe I thought more about the plot of this movie than the writers did, and I watched it for the first time literally 26 hours ago. At least Back in Action had the decency to only be an hour and a half long and has interesting character moments with Bugs and Daffy (who was done. So fucking dirty by Space Jam 2) despite having a lot of the same problems as this movie, weirdly enough.

Not as good as the original movie. But still a semi decent film in its own right.

Warner Bros be like: Hey sorry we treated Marvin like trash in Space Jam 2 here’s Marvin in Bugs Bunny Builders and Multiversus as compensation but the only reason you found out was because it was leaked

[positively--speculative]

I know the last Space Jam movie gets a lot of hate, but I rewatched it yesterday...and I realized something that kind of went over my head the first time.

LeBron James's character is traumatized. He comes from a background of very little and worked hard to get to where he is and he was told as a child that he had to sacrifice fun things like video games because they were "distractions." As a result, he carries that with him through adulthood even though he is successful and can afford to relax and allow his kids to do the same thing. He wants his kids to have a better life than he did growing up, but in trying to protect them, he drives a wedge between himself and his children.

Like, overall, the movie is silly, and it's supposed to be silly (it's a Looney Tunes movie, after all). However, I think it shows that there's a way to illustrate trauma without romanticizing it. Sometimes you can show it for what it is and how it can negatively affect relationships even when someone's intentions are good.

No wonder Space Jam suddenly became live action. It was to foreshadow the atrocities committed by Warner Bros. Discovery.

Space Jam: A New Legacy (2021)

My rating: 3/10

These people really looked at Ready Player One and went "We can make a shameless cash grab as least twice as soulless as this! Hold my beer!" And for some reason nobody kneecapped them before they could.
