LeBron James to Star in Space Jam 2

I kinda think that as overall "Okay, I guess" as Space Jam is, it's officially the last time anything "Looney Tunes" was relevant. Which is probably why there's been a push to revive it ever since. Literally nothing else they've done with the brand has meant anything ever since. It's a shame, but clearly the struggle to make Looney Tunes "hip" that they've been waging since 1993 is a losing battle.

All anyone cares about is the "classics". These new shows are... eh, they have their moments but they're definitely their own thing. And nobody's going to be talking about them in 50 years the way we still remember the shorts from the 40s that they used to play on Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network, or ABC Saturday Morning or whatever.

You can give 'em all the skateboards, backwards hats and basketball movies you want, you can't change that. "Looney Tunes" is the old stuff; everything since then is hipster parody and self-satire. Which is alright sometimes, but it's definitely not as timeless or endearing as the other stuff.
