Zeus 06/06/20 7:17:53 PM #3:	Playsaver posted... Did you even read your link? Does he ever? >_> To be fair, though, Yahoo News isn't worth reading. Oh, and they talk about "he has given up hunting Bugs Bunny, though he just uses a scythe instead" yet the article image has him with an axe. While it may be because they used a stock image from somewhere else, I wouldn't put it past Yahoo News to not know the difference between an axe and a scythe. (That's in addition to the article being poorly written as always.) At any rate, scythes and axes are terrible hunting weapons. If they're not giving him a bow, at the very least he should have a spear. Browngardt added that the cartoons will stay true to the originals. I always thought, What if Warner Bros had never stopped making Looney Tunes cartoons? As much as we possibly could, we treated the production in that way. The modern versions will reflect modern sensibilities, he said. Were going through this wave of anti-bullying, everyone needs to be friends, everyone needs to get along. Looney Tunes is pretty much the antithesis of that. Its two characters in conflict, sometimes getting pretty violent.

ParanoidObsessive 06/07/20 2:20:59 AM #11:	WhiskeyDisk posted... Wait until they get to Yosemite Sam and Marvin the Martian... Well, to be fair, Tiny Toons got around that sort of shit as far back as the early 90s, with Montana Max and Elmyra being versions of the adult characters that were still sterilized to some degree (with Elmyra sort of being a cross between Elmer and the Abominable Snowman, and Max is sort of like Yosemite Sam crossed with an evil Richie Rich). Because apparently they didn't want the kid versions of those characters running around with guns. So it's not like they can't kind of tweak character concepts. Hell, some of the newer cartoons with Sylvester and Tweety have them as friends (which is a pretty far cry from Sylvester trying to eat him 99% of the time), so it's not like they view any of this stuff sacrosanct. Hell, if they viewed any of this as all that sacred, this would literally never have existed: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=buHtdJ1l0EQ --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family <cite>ParanoidObsessive posted [p:940300708] in Streaming ...
