#space jam

First movie I ever saw in theaters. Peak childhood memory.

"Both on and off set and especially during Space Jam, both she and Tweety mostly had a will they/won't they sorta dynamic basically had a puppy love romance. Both clearly had a liking to one another but were too shy to say much or confess their feelings for one another, although Vienna isn't exactly very quiet about her obvious feelings and care for the yellow canary."

I don't know if this is a hot take or not, but I like the characterization of the toons better in Space Jam: A New Legacy more than the original Space Jam. I'd still say that Space Jam is still a bit more enjoyable for me than its sequel overall. The original has marginally better pacing and isn't afraid to not take itself too seriously, which makes the experience slightly more preferable to me. But some of the toons in the original Space Jam are really out of character for the majority of the run, with the exception of Lola (since she made her debut in the film). It felt a bit more like a lot of the Looney Tunes characters could just be replaced with "Generic Wacky Cartoon Character" without much of a fuss. I understand that Michael Jordan is supposed to be the main character and straight man to the madness or whatever, but I just think it would be so much better if they leaned more into the distinct characteristics that each of the Toons are known for a bit more. Space Jam: A New Legacy, while still being a complete trainwreck in my opinion, did the pre-established characters a lot more justice than the original Space Jam. The characterization still isn't spot on or whatever, but each character felt a lot more like themselves than in the original Space Jam. Specifically, I feel like they did really well with Daffy. He was mainly based on his Chuck Jones characterization but with some fun screwball moments that still felt in character. Another example is Bugs. I felt he was generally more chill in the sequel which felt truer to his character to me. His style of humor was in general, less of just, "wacky random cartoon" and felt more like the sly, slightly smug rabbit we all know and love. There were some moments that still felt a bit off, don't get me wrong, but they felt slightly more earned considering that their characterization was more solid for the majority of the film. It felt more like a deliberate choice about how they wanted to present the character rather than just doing the bare minimum. In a universe where they decided to focus on the Toons more in a New Legacy, I might have actually preferred the film overall to the original. But sadly, the more accurate characterization of the Looney Tunes is nothing more than a highlight in an otherwise less entertaining movie. Also, they did Marvin so fucking dirty in a New Legacy. He did not deserve such little screen time
