One of the reasons I disliked Wreck It Ralph 2 was because it felt like Disney was stroking their own cock and showing of all the things they own. We got the Princesses, Marvel, Star Wars, and the Muppets motherfucker. Bow before us!

Well, the Space Jam trailer made me feel the same way about WB. Oh, its a basketball and Looney Tunes movie? Fuck that! We got The Flintstones, Scooby Doo, DC Superheroes, and a shit ton of movies yo! Look at how awesome we are!

Warner Brothers honestly feels like Disney’s annoying little brother that tries to copy what their big brother does in an attempt to be cool, even their fuck ups. If Warner keeps this shit up, maybe they can surpass Sony for the most retarded film studio.

Super progressive for the (obviously black) female characters to look super ugly as hell. I know it's because of "goon" in their name, but holy shit. :story: Say what you want about the Monstars, at least there's a little bit of variety and personality to them.
I kinda disagree, Larry, Ewing and Barkley had literally almost the same designs with some subtlety added in their jerseys and heads, Shawn and Bogues stood out because of their design mirroring their real life heights but still looked similar to the the other three.

Im guessing the WB realized how shitty the real life Goon Squad team is in personality and intimidation that they just gave everyone extremely nonsensical but distinctive designs, like Turasi looking like Joseph Goebbles and Dame looking like he belongs to a box cover of a mid 2000s Graphics Card (who actually is my favorite design wise but Kyrie or Kawhi fit the bill better than Dame.)

The Goon Squad looks like something Sam Fennah would make, and the choices are just fuckin sad to look at because they didnt really pick the most interesting or intimidating players. The Monstars already got 1 MVP in Barkley, a near MVP with Ewing and 3 reliable starters (even as stated by SB nation, they could have chosen better). But No Kyrie? No Giannis? No Boban? Stecen Adams? Schroeder? Lowry? Gobert? Jokic? Harden? Kawhi?
Nope, but heres some WNBA players playing a Nazi snake and a nigger spider.

Mega corporations nowadays cant make new IPs to save their lives so they will parade what they have instead.
"Why make more when you got an entire library of shit that has been around longer than most executives on the board currently have been alive?"
Personally, I blame the nostalgia spergs, though corporations can be put to blame to this as well. The nostalgia spergs keep on sperging about how the old corporation was better and they wanted the old stuff back (Like for instance, way back then, people sperged they wanted the old Cartoon Network back and they wanted old cartoons to return) and they disliked the new shit and IPs the corporations churned out. This is where companies decide to bank in on nostalgia which is a win-win: Not only they get to crack less new ideas and spend less money, they get to make money from nostalgia spergs and new audiences.

And before anyone points it out, yes I know that corporations are there to make money, no shit, if they made the decision to nostalgia bait and they think what is best for their sales, let them do it. But even as such that doesn't change how I'm disappointed in this stupid tiring pandering and I'm posting this as someone who admittedly has a liking for old stuff compared with right now.

Although yes, no shit, crossovers are there to actually advertise a mass line of their products if you think as such from a marketing perspective, at least put some soul and heart into it that it makes it special. Mario & Rabbids and Who Framed Roger Rabbit were well received not just because of the crossover aspects.

If you want to watch for the sake of fucking crossovers just might as well watch Pooh's Adventures which there's like a millions of them still on YouTube.

I actually don’t blame nostalgiafags, this is a clear case of “muh brand”. Something similar was done in the Lego Batman movie and Wreck It Ralph 2, and this could very well become the norm as zero-planning cinematic universes get pushed for no good reason other than the desperate need to push in-house IPs new and old.

You know, for being considered rejects, I'd argue the Looney Tunes have had more attention given to them in recent years than half of the background characters have, especially the HB characters, who outside of Scooby-Doo and Captain Caveman, really don't have much going for them outside of that upcoming Jellystone series and maybe one or two DTV videos.

Wouldn't it make more sense if the older HB characters and LT characters be on the same planet of so-called rejects? Or did Warner think they'd be going too far even though they greenlit this?
Again, I wish they would've gone the Who Framed Roger Rabbit? route with this movie.

Have a Toontown where there would be a reason to have all these characters in one place.

I'm sure there's plot potential with that.

Honestly I think it would've been better if the "Goon Squad" in this movie were characters from other IPs (perhaps the Hannah Barbara characters) since at least that would give all the random IPs a point in the movie beyond "AUDIENCE LOOK IT'S THAT THING YOU LIKE THAT IS IN THE MOVIE FOR 5 SECONDS!"

As said earlier by someone else in the thread I think this could only work well for the Lego Movies since at least most of those movies in universe were things made by a kid so of course there'd be other IPs since little kids would do that stuff, I think this is more comparable to Wreck it Ralph 2 as the first movie had other IPs as well but it was more justified in it since the IPs were exclusively for video games while the sequel forced in other Disney properties. This is like how the original Space Jam had references to both Basketball and Looney Tunes while the sequel is Warner forcing in references to their properties to show how extensive their libraries are.

>having Yosemite Sam use his gun to shoot a basketball and the droogs from A CLOCKWORK ORANGE show up as background characters

Pick one, and only one, WB. You can't have it both ways.

They surprisingly can, their coomsumers will just keep consuming because of the pretty colors, CGI and nostalgia baits while get outraged over the next thing twitter tells them to be outraged about because you want to prove how virtuous you are.

"I am a good person, I will prove it!"

And they will sell you that proof...

That's actually what people were speculating when the original set pics featuring Pennywise and Joker came out, And yet, even with all of their retarde ddecisions as of late, Warner and the film's writers didn't follow up on that and actually somehow made it even more retarded. Part of me is wondering if it was supposed to be like that, but WB went "fuck that, just do what we did on Ready Player One!"

How much input did Warner have on rpo though? Not only was
It a legendary pictures production but a Spielberg one at that.

Also I hate to say it but.... Robot chicken did a better space jam 2

And who's involved in this you might ask? You guessed it, J.J. Abrams.
