I think what makes wile e coyote roadrunner segments so fun is that the roadrunner doesn’t rly antagonize him the way bugs bunny or Daffy Duck mess with those trying to hunt them.
Coyote isnt foiled by the roadrunner who mostly just exists its the universe itself bending its laws to ensure he fails
That's why I think he's dead and this is his hell. The roadrunner SHOULD be catchable with all the tech and stuff Wile E has. But his universe won't let him. Besides being a great analogy for human existence, it's also spiritual. The Roadrunner doesn't hate him, God does.
It makes perfect sense!! My only question is whether the roadrunner is some form of demon meant to tempt the coyote or just another victim suffering in hell. Perhaps its in purgatory?
Hrm. This sent me thinking on the toilet to decide my favorite looney tunes character and I decided on the problematic Peppy Le Pew whom stalked that cat for years trying to get into her pants. I didn't get it as a kid but liked him.
So glad I found this cartoon conversation! While I grew up watching all the looney tunes, have you ever seen Pinky and the Brain?? #47 and his new nd bff kinda fit.
I don't know, not all prequels can pull off that sustained dramatic tension when characters violently collide who you know can't yet die, because you've already seen how they die in the future, like in Better Call Saul or Young Sheldon.
there is a real episode of looney tunes where bugs is shooting down native americans while singing a "fun little song" about it so i don't think that's entirely true, friend
Exactly. Bugs just wants to kick back eating carrots and occasionally play the banjo.
He's fully capable of finishing whatever people start with him though.
That a role model.
During my review of early Looney Tunes I developed a lot of sympathy for Fudd. The man was just trying to enjoy some quiet time in the woods and was continually harassed for no reason. The hunter persona he later adopted is clearly a coping mechanism. Bugs Bunny is a monster https://bsky.app/profile/pavedwalden.bsky.social/post/3kgkpb5geiw2h
You know, I always thought it was progressives who cancelled Looney Tunes for its outdated takes and vaguely racist content, but I've come to realise it's hysterical conservatives who shut it down for being subversive. Bugs taught people to mock the establishment and they hate it.
Looney Tunes needs to have classical, or orchestral music. That's part of Looney Tunes ID, but WB keeps forgetting that. Should also keep doing 7min shorts. Every few months.
I’ll raise you one better: prequel where every episode is just explaining a different character’s diagnoses from the DSM-5. From Marvin’s ASD to Porky’s Speech-Language Impairment.
Marvin's... a Martian, we'd need to see more martians, i guess?
Elmer Fudd... I think he was originally a stereotype of the weekend sportsmen? The "i'm a hunter!" types who just... dropped a lot of money on gear & can't actually track or aim.
Yosemite Sam is probably suffering from chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) due all of the dynamite he explodes without proper PPE and OSHA oversight.
I know, and as an Autistic person, I'm here to tell you that hiss bullshit has NOTHING to do with his autism (and I just am not sure he actually IS autistic, or if he's just using it to get away with whatever he wants, like the sociopath he DEFINITELY IS)
Ok, I better understand your intent now. However, there's still no need to treat autism itself. Psychotherapy is great for treating other issues that living in a neurotypical world can cause like anxiety, depression, PTSD. But those aren't a direct result of autism.
Please send along the name of the autism spectrum disorder drug treatment. Just because you are on the spectrum doesn’t mean you can’t be a Nazi. He grew up a son of apartheid. That’s just another form of fascism.
Also being on the spectrum would mean diminished responsibility. The question in this case would be, to what degree has responsibility been diminished?
Bugs is the friend who all parents loved because he was so charming then you tell your parents about later in life how he actually did all those thing they blamed you for. 😂
The great Bugs Bunny never initiates. He only retaliates after Elmer goes hunting and Marvin tries to kidnap him. The lesson is if you go huntin' wabbits, you kinda deserve what you get!
I would rather not go to a Lucas one where we learn how Bugs Bunny was seduced by the Dark Side and where we can see someone teaching him 'Whats Up Doc'
That's wild because last week I had a discussion about there should be an episode where Elmer Fudd is hunted during the classic its duck season, no rabbit season etc... bother Bugs and Daffy should spin it on him!
Ah, the rabbit, slick as oil on a dying star. Bugs, the eternal trickster, hunting for unprotected sex with HIV-positive individuals. So begins the ballet of predator and prey, using lasers, shotguns, and poppers.
"That's all, folks," the rabbit grins, his teeth all replaced with PrEP pills.
I have a number of family members on the spectrum and I can personally attest that you can be an asshole and be on the spectrum. They are not mutually exclusive.
Thanks for the laugh. I have learned that I can really relate to Elmer now as a nursery owner any farmer can & Marvin was always been in Outer Space yet relatable ( those artistic/creative minds).
the spectrum is something used to determine potential neurodivergence for humans, so Marvin by definition is not on it, and I don't think Elmer most of the time shows evidence of being on it.
i have it upon good authority from various internet sources that they are gay [there is even proof they fucked]. but disney is covering this up. let them fuck i say
Speaking of Disney, if Pluto and Goofy hooked up?... bestiality? You know, because Pluto... wait a minute, is Pluto's collar just a collar? Or for Goofy's bondage fetish?
I'm pretty sure Marvin the Martian is on the spectrum. I'm autistic and I can relate to dreaming of your own space ship while waiting for the Earth shattering Kaboom. 💚👽
Elon is the wealthiest person in the world, bought the US presidency and is trying to interfere in elections elsewhere. Gvt’s want to freeze his accounts. Even those with high levels on autism chart can understand right & wrong. Is it the ketamine? Who cares! There is no excuse for his Nazi salute.
Oh, I’m certain of it. I know he had to take drug tests related to SpaceX contracts, but I think those are over now, and prescription K is probably not a blocker anyway. So his use could be pretty heavy, we wouldn’t know till they find him floating in the pool
Elmer and Marvin are generally the aggressors, aren't they? They show up in Bugs's woods or on his planet and threaten various degrees of mayhem. I wouldn't say Bugs is "targeting" them.
and a separate one for the duck/rabbit season gag where daffy & bugs confirm each other to be at polar opposite points on the spectrum
(Elmer would probably hunt them both regardless [I don't think he knows what autism is] but imo adding a neurodiversity context makes the arguing funnier)
I love lots of the entertainment of past decades but NOPE I'm not buying / watching these.
I want NEW stuff out there so creatives like most here have a chance of making their own stuff, selling it and not giving 99% of $ and 100% of rights to corporate pigs.
Haven't you heard? - President Trump just signed an Executive Order to prevent the woke concept of being "on the spectrum" from being depicted in any future federally funded animated shorts.
That said, he fully supports the right of Elmer Fund and Marvin the Martian to carry firearms of any kind.
No kidding, these days with these cartoon characters in charge, you have no clue what is serious, sarcasm or a joke. It’s like living in another very dark dimension.
Bugs doesn’t target anyone. In fact he doesn’t get tetchy until the third offense ‘of course you realise this means war’. And I don’t think being on any spectrum is a get out jail free card for attempting to cook and eat Bugs.
Hmmm, Elmer Fudd was quite literally targeting Bugs and Daffy with a gun. Bugs tricked Elmer in self-defense. Marvin the Martian was also focused on attacking us. It is interesting that you saw it as Bugs and Daffy "targeting" their attackers.
As I see it our biggest challenge
now as progreesives, liberals and
leftists is simply this: How do we
defeat King Ghidorah without the
help of Godzilla? We have to beat
Lex Luthor without Superman...
Here's the best part: this isn't
something that's impossible is it?
I mean to be clear, as a Canadian, I love our tight firearms regulations and the fact that we don't have a constitutional entitlement to a firearm. I wish the US had the same. But at the same time, I wonder if marginalized populations will soon need to arm themselves against actual tyranny.
Not that I'm under any illusions that they can compete against an Abrams or the modern US military. And I might be seeing those up close too as a Canadian given Trump's stated desires to annex us.

I love using them. Today I 'm sampling pick my followers, would you like me consider you for reading❤️
But I'm pretty sure I'm Foghorn Leghorn made real.
There's a difference between 'oblivious idiots' and spectrum.
psssht! what a *maroon*!

And that’s saying a lot
Hannah-Barbera was going to make a 2nd Yogi Bear, but they made a Boo Boo
He's fully capable of finishing whatever people start with him though.
That a role model.
They BOTH came after him first, WITH GUNS!
Bugs Bunny and Looney Tunes are now banned in the new American Fourth Reich!
Dressing in drag to throw off his enemies means Bugs is a Groomer!
Lol

Those episodes would be banned in red states, nowadays.

Resistance isn't futile.
Revolution is necessary.

elmer is just a bit dumb.

"That's all, folks," the rabbit grins, his teeth all replaced with PrEP pills.
So, some hope for liberty remains

Get it right, jerk-wad.
Elmer Fudd was rabbit hunting and Marvin Martian was trying to blow up the Earth.
Fuck.
You know it's true. Look at how he fondles his carrot.
That said, he fully supports the right of Elmer Fund and Marvin the Martian to carry firearms of any kind.
