It's gonna be one of those things to make me shudder and grimace in a Side-Show Bob kind of way for months to come.
You see - even as a kid I always favoured Warner Brothers nutty Loony Tunes characters to Disney's saccharine mice and dogs. Wile Coyote was always my favourite nut job - completely fucking useless - makes you kinda wanna identify with the poor schmo. Sure Bugs Bunny was always a bit of an annoying twat but his blatant love/hate affair with Elmur Fudd made it all worthwhile. Sure their characters were goofy, but they had a certain wit and charm that makes them still watchable for me today.
Now Warner Brothers have destroyed it all. Shat all over these characters, murdered them mercilessly and dragged their rotten corpses through playgrounds to traumatise little kiddies.
I refer of course to the apparent "descendents" of these characters (what did they do, all drink radioactive fluid before they bred?), as pictured below - The Loonatics:
This is the WB's "reimagining" of the classic Loony Tunes characters - as superheroes of the future. Recognise any of them - slightly tricky since they all look the same. From left to right we have:
Wiley Coyote (renamed Slick - my darling what have they done to you!)
Tazmanian Devil (renamed Spaz - says it all really)
Bugs himself (renamed Buzz Bunny - we'll get to that later)
Daffy Duck (re... well shortened to Duck - obviously ran out of ideas at this point)
Lola Bunny (renamed Lexi... I didn't even know who the hell Lola was!)
Road Runner (renamed Roadster, and looking bizarrly like Jack Nicholson)
I saw these and wanted to cry. Then I saw this preview and wanted to kill people:
Loonatic Spew!
My God. It's the worst decision the WB has made since it cancelled Buffy and Angel - fools!!!!!
There are a few consolations to this travesty.
The reimagined Buzz Bunny, unfortunately for WB, already exists in this joyous form. Don't you love it with dumb-ass execs do their research properly?
The second solace I have find is in this wonderful cartoon created for the entire purpose to mock this entirely mock-worthy event - enjoy the bleeping wonder:
Go to this link, and click on "WATCH THIS MOVIE" - you shan't be disappointed, and will feel somewhat cleansed of the grubby after taste this news will no have left you with.
