That is retarded.

NOOOOO!! Leave the Classics alone You bassturds!!!


*cries*

Oh man, this looks bad. Why do they keep editing this stuff?

maybe this show could be good.I mean Batman:beyound and the batman was differants but they were good,same gose to X-men:evolutations and all grown up.

Newsflash: If you think "The Batman" is a great show, you are either on drugs or flipping insane.

Loony Toons are'nt action shows, there socially depraved comedies represented by a hoarde of innocent looking, yet mischevous groups of characters that have remained memorable through thier apperances and actions in those shorts, to turn them into THESE...ABORTIONS just reeks of the kind of s*it that we're now getting due to the fact noone can create anything original anymore, so they choose to rape these icons into something that every fan of The Guyver can be proud of, and it F*CKING disgusts me.

What next? Joss Whedon's "Animanaics?"....

they still got the same character in it.

That reasoning is retarded, if the series does'nt have great writing or a respectable direction, then it's nothing.

Okay, Zarius, stop being a jerk and respect an opinion.

An opinion without constructive reasoning is hardly an opinion to even begin with, but fine

No no no......


Dangit, they do NOT look like Looney Tunes... :x :(

I lost my love for Looney Tunes some time ago around the height of the suburban Warner Brothers Store in the mid 90s. I couldn't turn around without seeing soccer moms wearing oversized pouting Tweety shirts with stupid sayings, business execs sporting Daffy ties or middle schooler blingin' Tazmanian devil earrings. And that's to say nothing of Space Jam. *shiver*

This "extreme" image retooling for this new generation o' kid strikes me as pretty inevitable.

Loony Tunes ain't THAT far gone yet, they still have Duck Dodgers :D

Personally, I look forward to Duck Dodgers every friday night. The show is hilarious.

Duck Dodgers is the "actionyist" I want a Looney Tunes show to get. Whenever an aged property tries to get "hip" we end up with crap like Yo, Yogi! or Rocken Out with Judy Jetson.

Granted, those were both Hanna Barbara properties (before Warner bought them), but the WB has made plenty of their own bad Looney Tunes shows, and they don't even have to be "hip". Sylvester and Tweety Mysteries was obnoxious, and Baby Looney Tunes...well, I don't think I'm the target demographic for that show. We can't forget Space Jam or Back in Action, either.

Personally, I don't want the Looney Tunes to get "hip". What makes them so funny is that they've always been a satire of what's "hip". From parodies of the Frank Sinatra craze back in the 40's, to ripping into Barney on Animainiacs.

C'mon Looney Tunes, you're better than this.

I saw this on TV last night. I can't believe what WB is doing to its classic characters. Those designs look horrible. :( If they created a new show using the classic look, then they'd not only get kids to watch, but other age groups who loved the older cartoons.

just imagine what happen if they do the same to Ninja turtles,Ghostbusters,pre-school show,the simpsons and video games charatcers.

Errr....they already have, besides, the Turtles were like that to begin with in the comics. :|

1. Space Ghost was recent brought back as a serious character, despite how patently ludircrous that is (the comics great though)

2. Ghostbusters actually WAS pretty dark in the original seasons of the cartoon as well as humerous

3. Darker versions of video Game characters? Sonic SATAM anyone?

Ugh....I hated Bugs Bunny LONG before this....now my hatred has deepened....I'm afraid to see what they did to Daffy!

what I also mean is giving them a new look and new style.

...What do you think they gave Extreme Ghostbusters?

Sonic SATAM gave Robotnik a different look than his video game counterpart, so not as much.

Really, what you're suggesting is'nt anything new you know

Lola almost look sexy in her new look.

Wow, that is really retarded.

Oh my f*cking god....

...Buzz is named after a SEX TOY?

They did turn space ghost and Birdman from action to comedy. So why can't WB turn five classic looney tunes star and a new member from space jam from comedy to action? I think the show might be good.

Because their Loony Toon shows have sucked for years, that's why.

Do you even have ANY respect for the originals? Space Ghost and Birdman were b-list superheroes and were never respected or admired with as much fondness as you would remember (I loved the original cartoon, but barly anyone else), people have more respect for "Coast 2 Coast" than they do for the original because it took an obscure character and made him original rather than generic.

What the crap are u talking about? Lola looks retarded like everyone else.

He does'nt know WHAT he's talking about

Artistically, I think the designs look great... well, apart from Wile-E and Road Runner.
However, I think it may be a mistake... unless the story covers a good reason for their transformations... and I think they should keep their normal names... but have them spiced up a little... like Bugz... instead of Bugs... and it's better than Buzz... I just think "Buzz Cola" when I hear that.

The originals will never die, and shows will probably continue to be made, so I don't see any harm... :)

I think that looks pretty damn stupid, but I guess things can't stay the same forever. It's not like the characters haven't been abused before. Anything new WB's does with them tends to bite.

It's set in the future...

Yes I do have respect for the classic.but they still the same inside.

they maybe crap,but they still look cool as superheroes.

No there not, only in action and in apperance, are they themselves, anything else is a carbon copy, hell even Bugs' name's been changed for Christs' sake, that's not proof there "still the same".

Err...no they don't, those designs BLOW, and clearly you really DON'T have any respect for the original characters if you prefer style over substance.

You guys might not like it but I do.it just like the video games movies and series You all Hate 'em but I like them except for House of the Dead. and I DO have respect for original.

IMO, I don't see how any one w/ respect for the originals could like the way they look or think this is a good idea.

What the hell are you talking about? Who brought up hating video games? This just proves you have no grasp on this thread at all if you're attacking people for completly different, unrelated things.


You don't, and that's patently obvious.

I'm out of this thread, given I know it's going to lead to uglier things if I have to keep talking about this crap with someone who has no idea what he's even talking about, or what we're discussing.

I'm not attacking anyone.and I do have respect for oringal and new look,classic and remake,bad video game movie and good game movie.

I kinda don't want to step on any toes here, but I think no matter what I say, I will anyways.

ALright... I've only seen few of the original Looney Tunes Cartoons (mainly because they weren't closed captioned), but what I saw, I liked.

I also like Duck Dodgers because I just find it to be hilarious spoof of Buck Rodgers. (However, I have no respect for Babylooney tunes and Sylvester and Tweeny Mysteries. I don't remember much of Tiny Looney Tunes to express much of an opinion.. I remember watching them religiously though when I was a kid.)

This new... vairation of Looney Tunes.. I can't say that I like the IDEA, considering the original they came from, but I have to admit that I think their designs are spiffy, if not freaky. *runs* If I didn't know the original characters, I would have reacted differently, as I'm sure you all probably would have. (Again, I'm just assuming....) Even though I think the idea is slightly unusual, I'm going to withhold my judgement until I have seen the show, because I know that first apperances are often discieveing.

Now for the important question... have you SEEN the show? It seems to me that you all are complaining about the character designs and how they F*cked up the originals, but you have not seen the show yet. You're not judging the show on its own merits, but rather, on what it's based on. I say let us wait until the show premires and judge it for the way it is. You can't hold on to the past, and expect everything to be like the original. It's virtually impossible. Embrace the past looney tunes for what they were, and judge the new things on their own merits.

I'm going to stop now, even though I could go on, because I want to use them to formulate my defenses when you guys pounce on my statements, and that I'm not completely sure how to verbalize them. Sorry for hte long rant. I jsut feel that you all took one look at the character designs and immediately drew your own conclusions, and started bashing the show based on your own assumptions. If I'm wrong, then I apogilize.

You made a very good point IceFlash. Well done.
